Gutman for Hungarians , who are powerless. In 1962, the Hungarian coach issued after an interruption contract with Benfica 's curse : "From a hundred years from now , Benfica in the absence of my case never expect to win a European trophy ." This curse is still hurting Benfica .
We called Gutman as " witches ", and after he was buried in a cemetery in Vienna for 33 years , his nickname is still sporadic frightening cold . Two months ago , Benfica club level at the Stadium of Light for the first 18 who built a memorial statue Gutman , this is a two -meter-high bronze statue , his hands are each holding a Champions League trophy. This idea came from the Hungarian ambassador to Portugal, in theory, this is history in order to have the best lead Benfica tactician tribute. Benfica club in the history of the legendary Eusebio and had only 10 years ago in a game of sudden death Moroccan players Fahmy ( His death shocked Portugal ) , who enjoy a statue tribute award.
A voice said , before Gutman , there are more memorable legends , but these voices quickly disappeared. Everyone knows that there is double-edged sword salute to Gutman intentions , although the club has reiterated: " We do not want to ward off evil ." However, we all know how it is Benfica move . Hungarian Ambassador to Portugal Kong Keli then exposed the truth , Benfica statue was built largely Gutman is to eliminate the so-called curse . Working in Lisbon three years time, Kong Keli always thinking of his compatriots that curse - the curse that continues to this day since 1962 .
Gutman led Benfica won the 1960, 1961 , two years consecutive Portuguese league titles, the Champions League is to beat Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively in 1961 and 1962, twice won the big ear cups, logically speaking , the ancient Terman Benfica work together toward the pinnacle , intimate relationship , but after the finals in Amsterdam , the two sides had a rift. Three won five trophies, Gutman think they deserve the attention of the club , so I hope the club give yourself ample reward, not a wish stingy Benfica flatly refused his request, which makes Gutman angrily away , and while he left Benfica , Gutman issued a curse.
The Chinese media had circulated version is that Gutman leave when he said : " ! 100 will not win the war in Europe during Benfica champion" but after verification we found that this argument is not complete , or that it is not enough rigorous . In fact , Gutman was not so far from the words directly , but he does have laid a curse . In the view of the historical Portuguese football , then we find Gutman 's words - "From 100 years from now , any Portuguese club can not win the Champions League twice , Benfica without me also take a European trophy less ! "
Benfica continued to torment Gutman spell thereafter . Recent European Cup final, Benfica lost to Sevilla, this is their final defeat in the war in Europe the eighth . "Perhaps the key lies in that condition - ' without me ,'"孔克利Benfica said . " We pay tribute to Gutman with the statue , if they can break the curse , so much the better ," it seems , a bronze statue let Gutman failed to change his mind .
Gutman is a stubborn man , but also a good creative people , he was a strategist , a master tactician . Gutman had said : " I prefer to be able to manufacture scoring attack, rather than painfully defense ." Gutman 's football philosophy is simple: " If the ball is mine, then go to the goal, if the ball is not my , it would not let the other goals . " Benfica coach before he had to teach dance in the United States , he was seven teams playing football , coached 14 teams. After leaving Benfica in 1962 , he also coached seven teams, including Benfica . Three years later, Gutman had actually returned to Benfica , but then he forgot to recover the original curse , the curse of becoming a victim of its own in the Champions League 1 /4 final Benfica eliminated Manchester United .
Gutmann In Hungary, the Netherlands , Romania, Italy, Argentina , Cyprus , Brazil , Austria, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland and Uruguay have coached . He said: "A coach coaching a team for two years , the situation will become complicated as the Lions coach , you can control the team because you show confidence , if your eyes are the first signs of the emergence of fear that . you lose . "
74 years old, Gutmann in Porto ended his coaching career . But still hurt the Benfica . In 1990, the European Cup final in Vienna , Benfica rise to all former legendary coach 's grave to pray. Even the great Eusebio knees, keep praying in tears. However, after a few hours , or in Benfica lost 1-0 final. Torino lost in the finals like this , like a year ago by Chelsea defeated. Pioneer , wild , charismatic , selfish, indulgent, ruthless, superstitious .. . . Gutman 's personality is very complicated, but for him , Benfica have no recourse but to let the curse continues .
