“Cesar Peixoto was a find!” Marinho Peres, Brazilian coach with a great connection to Portugal, especially to Belenenses, remembers how it was today the debut of the lefthander in the league. Or rather, how effortlessly solved a problem in breeding blue. ”There was a lefty,” he says.
In 2001/02, right at the start of the tournament, was playing Belenenses Pacos de Ferreira, where they lost 3-1. At the end of the game, a young footballer of 21 years, who made his entire career in the area of Guimarães, in training and then 2. Division, but that had already been suggested, has joined the roster of Restelo. Soon to convince Marinho Peres.
“What most impresses him is the strong shot. And no need to take stock! “Says the coach of 63 years. I asked her where he played. He told me on the left. ’I can defend and attack,’ “he adds.
Hence the premiere was a step. The September 23, 2001, Benfica Belenenses visited, in a meeting to tell the sixth. Matchday. The 26 minutes from time with the Eagles the lead, the coach threw Cesar Peixoto, taking Neca. Three minutes after the entry of the Minho region, Marcao sign the goal that dictated the final outcome (1-1).
Extension of the coach
Today, we celebrated the debut of nine years in the upper world of Portuguese football. It was like a “cry” of emancipation, whose echoes can still be heard. After a journey full of successes (this is the only player in red who knows what he is to win the Champions League), the lefthander celebrates the event with the place at eleven o’clock Benfica rescued.
Released by Jorge Jesus in the derby, its action was praised by the coach who in 2009 sponsored the transfer of Braga to Benfica, where he won his fourth title of national champion. This is because the combination Peixoto-Coentrão resulted in the cancellation of John Payne.
Adaptation to lateral functions is, moreover, something which is not surprising Marinho Peres. ”In my time as a player, there was extreme ends. Players like Garrincha Simões or over. Already there are those selfish ends, fixed.Today, who plays on the right or the left also adapts to the midfield, as the opponent. He has this ability. When you want to hold the advantage, the coach can always ahead and close it in midfield. “
At 30, Cesar Peixoto is an element of trust in Jesus, whose common path started in Braga and continued in the Light is not always understood by fans, who sometimes do not spare whistles, the 25 jersey, which totals 138 games and 22 goals in League, is one of those players that coaches do not provide.
“As he worked with me, always took care consistently off the field. It was a reference to the group. When transmitting a message, he passed it to the group. Was an extension of the coach, because he had culture, “stresses Marinho Peres.
Today in Brazil, the coach ensures that even at a distance, continues to follow the career of the player who launched nine years ago. And the end leaves you with a request: “What mark a goal and make a M. .. of Marinho”
