Porto communications director Francisco J. Marques has accused reigning Portuguese league champions Benfica of using jazz (juju) to win the past two seasons. Marques said he saw emails that Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira and Dr. Armando Nhaga, the national Police Commissioner of Guinea-Bissau, exchanged earlier this year regarding agreements for witchcraft services. Though it seems the so called sorcerer can’t cure the Bella Guttman curse, that has seen Benfica lose every European final since 1962.
Marques told reporters: “In 2015-16, Benfica spent €75,000 (£65,945) to fix the Championship [using sorcery].”
The Porto communications chief claimed that Nhaga warned Benfica that their attempts to win a fourth straight league title could be in jeopardy due to “sabotage” if the club did not increase their payments for using their services with respect to the 2015-16 campaign.
Marques said he was disgusted by the revelations.
“We are talking about witchcraft,” he said. “Hundreds of thousands of euros were spent on that.
“I don’t know what to make of this.
“This calls into question the coach, the players, but also [club executives] Paulo Goncalves and Pedro Guerra.
“There are people that in order to win, anything goes.”
Benfica won a record fourth straight Portuguese league title in May with one game to spare, with Porto finishing runners-up, six points behind the champions. Maybe we should contact Benfica to give us the contact of their jazzman or sorcerer or jujuman, so the Super Eagles can win the World Cup.
