If we think about the game of the day of this first round of the male Betclic League, I find it very difficult to escape from Benfica Sporting.
It is a derby and that in itself already gives it a very significant importance.
It was the first official game of the championship for both teams, in a phase in which we are still trying to understand dynamic identities and even the way the new projects will evolve throughout the season.
And what caught my attention the most was that the final result, 84-71 for Benfica, in my opinion ends up not telling the whole story, because When we really look at the three points of difference, we can think that Benfica had a comfortable game and that's not really it and that's not my opinion.
In fact, during most of the match, Sporting was completely inside the game.
The first quarter ends tied, Sporting ends up winning the break and for a long time managed to execute clearly what he wanted to do and, therefore, end up hiding something that is not true.
that there was confidence in the team of Bernardo Pires, there was capacity to create offensive advantages, there was also some maturity in the way they managed to deal with the pressure of playing on the Fidelidade Pavilion, and it seems to me that it is in this context that it is very difficult and impossible not to talk about Lime O'Reilly.
It seems to me clearly to have been one of the supporting figures, if not the supporting figure in this game and, in my opinion, the player who most times managed to unbalance the game individually.
But for me, the main question is not so much in what Sporting did, but in what Benfica managed to do after the break.
I think the game clearly changes when Benfica decides to increase the defensive aggressiveness, perhaps spoken and thought at the break by its coach, Barra.
It seems that things have stopped being so easy for Sporting, the positions seem to have become much more difficult, the decisions have become much more pressing, and what in the first part seemed to emerge with relative naturalness from Sporting, began to demand much, much more effort.
And it seems to me that there is a number that helps to understand this, because Sporting...
He scored 41 points in the first half and then in the second he only managed to score 30.
Not that Sporting, in my opinion, has suddenly attacked badly, but it seems to me that Benfica managed to clearly change the conditions of the game.

and in this case it seems to me that the team that managed to force the opponent to play worse won and it seems to me that Benfica managed to force Sporting to play worse.
