Men are so private online. A guy could be moving to another country or having his first child, and he’d still only post a random football score on his story.

Have you ever watched someone deliberately choose the harder path when the easier one was right there? That is what Marco Silva did this week.
Genuinely speaking. You think about it. What kind of man turns down double his salary? One who has something to prove. And Marco Silva has everything to prove at Benfica.
Fulham reportedly offered him £8 million a year to stay. On a three-year contract. With them, he had security, familiarity and a squad he built himself.
Benfica however came with £4 million and a fanbase that will not accept third place in their own league as a reasonable outcome. Yet he chose them.
The five years he spent at Craven Cottage were genuinely impressive. He had a Championship title with 110 goals in a single season. He also got Fulham back in the Premier League and staying there. He never Never finished below 13th in the league. He also led them
to their first ever League Cup semi-final.
He literally turned a yo-yo club into a reliable top half side and did it without drama or noise. You may not understand. But that is harder than it looks.
But impressive and historic are different things. Silva has never managed at a club where winning trophies is the baseline expectation rather than the aspiration.
He will be replacing Jose Mourinho at the Estadio da Luz, with Benfica having finished thi in the Primeira Liga last season. Third place at Benfica is not a foundation to build on. It is a problem to fix immediately.
He has been building a house near Lisbon for two years. This was always the destination. The comfort of Fulham was never going to be enough for a man who left Portugal to prove himself and now wants to come home and prove something different entirely.
Legacy costs more than salary. Silva just paid the price willingly. We will see if he gets the prize.

I was praying on Shabbat, and as I was meditating on Proverbs 3:3,4 that implores us to cling onto "steadfast love and faithfulness", ("Hesed" & "Emet" in Hebrew), I felt the intimation to check on the genders of both words 1/3
(Gotta love other languages, their words are gender-assigned). I felt a direct correlation with the character of God, and the inner child in me felt he could find in Him the reliability and the assurance that I may have lacked from both my parents 2/3
