Portuguese Football in English
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves has been speaking to Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and covered a range of topics during an intriguing interview.
Neves is in his third season in English football, having joined Wolves in 2017 when the West Midlands club were still in The Championship. The former Porto man helped his new club to promotion to the Premier League in his first term and has since progressed to be regarded as one of the top flight’s highest-rated midfielders.
26 years ago today, Artur Jorge led Paris Saint-Germain to only their second-ever Ligue 1 title with a 1-0 win over Toulouse.
For the Portuguese coach, the French championship triumph was the culmination of three years’ work and added to his growing status as one of the continent’s most successful coaches.
The decision taken by the French government to abandon plans to resume play in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 has been met with strong approval by Marseille boss André Villas-Boas.
Head of French FA Noel Le Graet confirmed the details of the announcement made earlier in the day on Tuesday, stating that the campaigns in both of the nations' top two professional leagues are over and current standings are set to be final with regard to championship winners, European places and promotion/relegation.
José Mourinho’s treble with Internazionale in the 2009-10 season remains one of the Portuguese coach’s greatest achievements. On Wednesday 28th April 2010 Inter produced perhaps the defining moment of the campaign when they reached the Champions League final at the expense of holders Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Former Portugal U-21 international João Carvalho sat down for an extended video interview with Maisfutebol, during which he discussed life in England with Nottingham Forest and reflected on his time at Benfica.
Carvalho, 23, has been in England since the summer of 2018 when he arrived as Forest’s record signing in a €15m deal from Benfica. Although one of many players to leave Benfica at a young age, the nature of the midfielder’s departure and his experience with the Eagles clearly represents a sense of regret for Carvalho.
