Very much doubt Jorge Jesus and a random player on his team is the answer to a cryptic about Jehovah? Surely that's to thin a connection (if any)?

edit: or is there a meaning that also connect said player I just don't get?

Sporting Lisbon's manager is Jorge Jesus.

Their player Gelson Martins is exactly what we need.

Gelson Martins.


Meaning of Gelson is pretty Godly:
You are introspective, prophetic, philosophical, and soul searching, but also can be analytical, critical and opinionated. You think deeply and clearly, have an air of mystery, can be solitary and secretive.You have an eventful, exciting life. You are versatile and have the ability to learn easily.

You desire to inspire and lead, to control other's affairs. You are giving, courageous and bold, action oriented,energetic and strong willed. You want to make a difference in the world, and this attitude often attracts you to cultural interests, politics, social issues, and the cultivation of your creative talents.

Yes i get Jesus is the son of God. But then the cryptic would refer to the son of God no? I'd love Martins here, but seems more wishful thinking than a likely answer. But since so many seem to think it might be him I was wondering if there's some obvious link to the player Gelson Martins i don't see?

We've left the No77 jersey open, too.

Haha, along those lines - and with tin foil hat firmly in place while we copy and paste from Wikipedia...:

In the Islamic tradition, "77" figures prominently. Muhammad is reported to have explained, "Faith has sixty-odd, or seventy-odd branches, the highest and best of which is to declare that there is no god but God, and the lowest of which is to remove something harmful from a road. Shyness, too, is a branch of faith." While some scholars refrain from clarifying "sixty-odd or seventy-odd", various numbers have been suggested, 77 being the most common.[7] Some have gone so far as to delineate these branches.[8]

The Gospel of Luke lists 77 generations from Adam to Jesus.[9]

In religious numerology[edit]
In certain numerological systems based on the English alphabet, the number 77 is associated with Jesus Christ. CHRIST is C = 3, H = 8, R = 18, I = 9, S = 19, T = 20, which added together equal 77.

In Catholicism there are 3 persons in one God: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost.

Thank you. This is atleast something that make a case for it being Gelson Martins (y)
