The True Ruben Micael (Of Nacional), This Weekends Football
‘The True Ruben Micael – Revelations about the star of the Marítimo family that gave in to Nacional ‘. The saying that a man can change his political party, his wife, and his car, but not his football club, does not always hold true. The father and siblings of Ruben Micael have Marítimo in their hearts, but in their support for the Madeiran player of the moment, have a crush on rivals Nacional. Ruben is not only a star of Nacional, but has also been called up for national honours in the ‘B’ team, with talk of his progression to be one of the greats of Portuguese football, and even in Europe. He comes from a poor family in Cãmara de Lobos, but scored one of the goals against Benfica last week, when Nacional beat them 3 – 1.
With just 3 games to go until the end of the football season, the European and relegation issues are far from decided. Marítimo go to Paços de Ferreira on Sunday at 4pm, whilst Nacional have the rather tough task of an away trip to league leaders Porto, also on Sunday (8.15pm on SportTV1). Nacional won in Porto last season, and I think are the only team do have done so, so anything is possible.
