One of my favourites players in Portugal National Team is Vitinha - For me, he can do almost everything on the pitch. He excelled when he showed his whole package against Barcelona in the Champions League Quarter-finals. In the Video Below you can see some of his Best Attributes: 1) Space Understanding - A) In terms of Carry into (00:11 with great first touch - half turn technique) B) Manipulation with Decision making in the final third when create GSA in Dembele's goal - pass timing (00:30). 2) Control the tempo&Positioning to recover and Retain Possession from deeper Zones (2nd Phase) - Passing Ability again. (00:47 - End) 3) Scanning Quantity and Quality (0.8 per second) that allows him react quick and execute actions. I think he can be the hidden weapon of the Portuguese team in the tournament.

#SaturdaySportsBiz The 2023 Copa Libertadores finale between Fluminense and Boca Juniors was more than a game. Here's a snapshot: 💰 Prize Money Champion Fluminense earned US$18 million, Boca Juniors secured US$7 million, with all teams collectively receiving US$203 million. 🌎Economic Dynamics Argentine economic constraints put Boca on par with Brazil's 9th-revenue club, with the Brazilian TV market favoring Fluminense. ⚽Fan Dedication Nearly 100,000 Argentine fans journeyed to Rio, with Leandro Fortunato (argentine fan) walking 1,500 miles to witness the event. 🌴✈️Tourism Impact The influx spurred a tourism boost in Rio, though also necessitating increased security measures. The final was a blend of football excitement, economic factors, and a display of unwavering fan support, contributing to a memorable South American football saga.

Brazil’s iconic Maracanã Stadium hosts the Copa Libertadores final this November 4, the most important game of the biggest football tournament in the continent, and one of the most awaited in recent history. The Fluminense-Boca game will be the fifth single-match final since the two-legged, home-and-away format was abandoned, a move criticized by supporters who say the cup is being “Europeanized” by making events more costly (admittance fees rose by 380 percent since 2011). Logistics shortcomings and hefty travel fees mean that South American cup finals have rarely been sold-out events. That should be different this time around, though. The furor among Boca fans who still want to take part in the event means that between 50,000 and 150,000 of them could travel 2,600 kilometers to “invade” Rio this weekend, many of them with no tickets for the game. The trip was even harsher for the fans and finalists of Copa Sudamericana, the region’s second-most prestigious tournament, which took place last weekend. Ecuador’s LDU and Northeastern Brazil’s Fortaleza had to travel between 5,000 and 6,000 km to a neutral venue in Uruguay, many of them by bus to avoid expensive airfares.

Once Copa America's 2024 final concludes this Sunday, and after a total of 6 matches played for each finalist, it is estimated that Colombia’s National team will have attracted upwards of 341 thousand passionate fans to U.S venues, generating close to$120 million in ticket sales alone. This huge impact goes beyond ticket sales and benefits many sectors of the economy. Undeniable support from an incredible fervor of soccer fans! In comparison, Argentina’s team is estimated to generate about $151 million in ticket sales, in part due to playing in larger capacity stadiums, plus the undeniable “Messi” factor. Both Colombia and Argentina have driven enthusiastic fans to the games in sellout numbers, representing the highest attendance figures for the entire tournament, or about half of the full season’s attendance to date! This year's total attendance numbers (1.6 million+) are also projected to surpass those of Copa America Centenario, the last time the U.S. hosted the Conmebol event. WELL DONE!
