Hi, boss. I'm Fernando.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
It's good to see you.
You look like models and everything!
What a sight to behold.
We're all between 1.88m and 1.89m.
Minus Jörn.
It was warmer in Germany than it is here.
- More so than here?
- Yeah, a lot more. Around 35 degrees.
It's only rained today.
Go, give it your all! Go!
More, more, more!

Really? All good then.
He lived there when he was younger.
Pleasure, I'm Ben.
FIRST TRAINING SESSION AT BENFICA CAMPUS
Concentrate on the speed of your feet!
They always play here.
There are two pitches;
that pitch and this one here,
and there's this area, and when the
ball is here we play three against one.
One of the players
in the middle has to come here,
and has to win the ball.
It's not just about possession,
we want to play forward!
Pass, pass.
Ball to me, ball to me.
Three players go in,
the yellows comes out.
Exactly the same for the winning team.
And for the yellow team,
if they win the ball.
Play among yourselves,
if Diogo passes to Chiquinho
and he passes to me
that's a point for you.
Essentially, if they lose the ball,
they have to react to losing the ball,
and they have to stop them passing to me
when they're playing with each other.
Is that clear?
Got it? Is that clear?
Exactly, point to yellows.
Do it in two touches.
Use the first touch to help you
turn to the other side.
One, two,
three.

You're not going
to stop filming me now or what?!
SPECTATORS
Benfica! Benfica! Benfica! Benfica!
Benfica! Benfica!
Doubts may start to surface,
and if they do,
we may have to play backwards.
Try to force, push the ball
between the lines a little.
And when you're between
the lines, take the ball.
You have to manage
possession in that area
It's getting tighter
I can't, I can't.
- For the team, man!
- Come on!
I can't, I really can't.
Seriously, bro, I can't.
SR. GEORGE'S PARK
- Did you see that?
- So clean, bro.
Yeah, bro.
- Seriously now.
- Tino, then?
You're disrespecting the sport.
He was going head on.
There's no limit, bro.
Smile, bro!
He doesn't want to pass by the camera.
Don't worry.
Look at this guy.
Samu!
I'm handsome, I'm handsome,
I'm bricking it!
This isn't
Let's go into Samu's room.
Show us the room, show us!
Samu's room, show us your room.
- What's up?
- Show us your room.
What's the matter with you?
Yellow! Yellow!
Exactly. Next group!
Yellow! Yellow! Yellow!
Good!
There's no limit on touches, no offside,
no throw-ins, no corners.
Always start with the goalkeaper,
and if you score, you keep the ball.
It's very fast, so try
to find the perfect position.
Go, go!
Push, push!
Two touches at most.
We have to play ten passes,
change flank, throw a high ball
to the other side
or a long pass down the line,
and a point to purple.
if the black team wins the ball
and manages to pass it to the other side
it gets a point.
Come on! One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten!
Stay alert! Stay alert!
Look at the ball, man!
Two points. OK, pause!
In the end, only my points count to win.
Exactly, for the photo.
You put on a great show yesterday.
Good evening, good evening.
How's it going?
It's a pleasure to be here with you all.
I'm going to sing a song
to brighten up your night
A song I've sang before,
a really well-known song.
I absolutely rocked it when I sang
this song, it was a performance
Thank you, thank you.
Who's next?
You've got to say thanks.
You've got to say thanks.
Good evening, everyone.
I'd like to thank you for the opportunity
you've given me to be here today.
I'm delighted to be here with you.
I hope we have a great season.
I'm going to sing "Dona Maria".
Not bad, huh?
The challenge will be
We're going to have six teams,
and your goal will be to win a race,
in the water, on a raft.
Put everything we have here to the side.
- To one side?
- To keep the balance.
Maybe this one
should be on the other side
in case someone needs
to go there to balance it out.
It's a core workout.
I thought about doing it this way,
a bit further away, like this,
to make it more stable.
Not glued.
Yeah, fixed.
If it's fixed, there's no problem,
because we're staying here
and this is going in the water.
Our feet stay in the water and
It's great.
Let's go!
What are they doing?
It's so strong!
It's here, Johnny!
You trespass, you die.
Is this a boat or a car?
You don't need to do the wheels!
One more wheel and it's a car
Look at this.
This is what's going to make us win.
NEW ZEALAND RUGBY TEAM
And you to the left.
Something's missing.
Over here, bro.
We can start celebrating!
Let's shout!
To celebrate.
Louder?
It's a video!
- Come on.
- You just can't take it.
- You just can't take it.
- Why can't I take it?!
Get that shit out of here!
You can't take it,
Rafa, are you crazy?
I won't leave like that, bro.
- You have to put the tail in the water.
- I'm not going in the water.
You're going to have to get wet.
This is the best.
That was the worst decision
of my life, I'm telling you.
Forget about it!
We've got the Boeing 740
submarine over here.
It's been tried and tested.
It doesn't look stable,
but it's actually very stable.
And we're going to win.
Let's go!
One, two, three!
The team's name is Feather,
as it is here, by the way, for the judge.
The judge? Where's the other judge?
No, I'm not on the jury.
Luisão?
You've already made a mistake!
The boat is called Benfica 38.
With the help of German engineering
and the cheapest labour there is:
Brazilian and Portuguese labour.
Based on stability and teamwork
and we're definitely going to win.
Go!
- We're dead!
- It's so cold!
We better stop now.
Come on, Carlos!
I'm going to win for us!
Go, take it up. Up!
Help me with the paddle.
Shall we?
I'm not going in the middle!
Are you crazy?!
Calm down, calm down.
Good luck.

Hello. How's it going?
You're always filming.
I already score loads of goals, but
with a wizard like this drying me out
There's no such thing as miracles.
He said he scored a hat-trick last game.
And now he's drying me off so
they'll all be left for him.
Let's begin our journey.
Let's go, let's go.
Our journey begins here.
The road to the championship.
There's no room for error,
this championship has to be ours.
Am I right, or what?!
Everything starts right here. Let's go!
Are you going to be champions?
Is this year the year?
Champions!
I love Benfica!
We're great friends.
It's the same concentration.
I see everything.
Which design is better?
Benfica is feeling, Benfica is passion!
For the documentary.
Do you think he's behaving himself, huh?
All the more reason
for us to want even more.
Listen, a minute. A minute.
