Bento: Ronaldo Not the Best Captain

 Former Portugal boss, Paulo Bento, disagree if Cristiano Ronaldo called as the best captain he has ever handled. Instead, he just filed the name Joao Moutinho.

Ronaldo was appointed as the captain of the team in July 2008 and continues to play such a role when Bento took over as Portugal head coach in 2010.

Kalah Dari Barcelona B

Pelatih Timnas Indonesia U-19, Indra Sjafri menilai bahwa kekalahan telak dari Barcelona B pada laga uji coba di Spanyol terjadi akibat timnya bermain gugup.

"Kami kehilangan identitas permainan kami. Para pemain juga tampil gugup dan itu membuat mereka kerap melakukan kesalahan dalam memberikan umpan. Selain itu, para pemain juga tak bisa efektif dalam membangun serangan," ungkap Indra Sjafri.

"Kami sadar bahwa kami bermain menghadapi pemain yang kualitasnya berada di atas kami. Karena itu, di babak kedua kami melakukan pergantian pemain dan meminta pemain untuk tak panik," tandasnya.

Sebagai informasi, enam gol kemenangan Barcelona B dicetak olehThomas Vermaelen, Luis Suarez (dua gol), David Babunski, Bicho dan eksekusi penalti Maxi Rolon

Timnas U-19 Takluk dari Madrid C

Timnas U-19 yang lebih banyak dihuni pemain pelapis sebenarnya cukup mampu menahan Madrid C yang juga diperkuat putra dari Zinedine Zidane, Enso Zidane. Setidaknya sepanjang babak pertama.

Namun, mental skuat berjuluk Garuda Jaya ini seolah runtuh usai wasit menunjuk titik putih begitu Rudolof Yanto Basma menjatuhkan pemain di kotak terlarang. Eksekusi penalti yang dilakukan Juanjo Narvaez sukses membawa timnya unggul 1-0 di menit ke-43.

Runtuhnya mental karena hukuman penalti itu makin terlihat kala Madrid C menggandakan keungggulannya semenit kemudian. Javier Munoz dengan tendangan mendatarnya membawa Madrid C menutup 45 menit babak pertama dengan keunggulan 2-0.

Usai turun minum, Timnas U-19 tak kunjung jua bangkit. Belum genap 10 menit babak kedua berjalan, Indonesia harus kembali kebobolan karena skema umpan satu dua cantik Madrid C. Kali ini pemain pengganti, Alvaro, yang mencatatkan namanya di papan skor dan mengubah kedudukan menjadi 3-0.

Pelatih Indra Sjafri akhirnya bereaksi dengan melakukan rotasi demi membangkitkan mental anak asuhnya tersebut. Pemain yang biasa menghuni skuat utama seperti Maldini Pali, Evan Dimas dan Hargianto dimasukkan.

Perlahan Indonesia mampu bangkit dan melancarkan serangan usai pergantian tersebut. Namun, karena terlalu asyik menyerang, Timnas U-19 malah kebobolan lagi di menit ke-83.

Berawal dari sebuah serangan balik, Alvaro mendapatkan bola muntah. Sekali sontek ia kembali membobol gawang Indonesia tanpa mampu ditepis kiper Diki Indrayana yang sudah kehilangan langkah.

Skor 4-0 ternyata belum cukup bagi Madrid C. Pada injury time, mereka kembali mendapatkan penalti karena Hansamu Yama menjatuhkan Febas. Caballo yang menjadi eksekutor sukses menutup laga uji coba ini dengan skor 5-0 untuk kemenangan Madrid C
