In the next few warm-up matches, Qiu Ze and Rui 61 Costa took turns to play, both of them accounted for 50% of the chances, both of them had good performances, Benfica has been in good form recently, and Santos is very confident about the new season.

Benfica suffered a miserable defeat in the league last season, finishing third in the league, which made Benfica very unhappy, and this season Benfica is aiming for the league title. And, in the Champions League, Benfica also wants to go further.

Benfica's goal is ambitious, but in Qiu Ze's memory, Benfica's performance this season is very unsatisfactory, the league is still only third, and the Champions League has not even qualified from the group. And this is not the saddest, the saddest thing is that since last season, Benfica will miss the Portuguese Super League championship for four consecutive seasons, and even the top three will not be able to enter the Champions League, which is a relatively dark period of time for Benfica.

Qiu Ze had thought of this before coming to Benfica, but he came anyway. At Bellamar, he was able to lead Bellamar to the Portuguese Cup and make history, and he also believes that at Benfica, he can make history as well.

There is not much time left before the start of the new season, and Benfica still have two Champions League qualifiers to play before the league begins.

There are three Champions League places in the Portuguese Super League, but these three places are not in the form of "3", but in the form of "1+1+0.5". This means that the first and second places in the Portuguese Super League will qualify directly for the group stage of the Champions League, while the third place in the league will play in the Champions League qualifying round.

Last season's Portuguese Super League was won by Porto, followed by Sporting Lisbon and Benfica in third. So, Porto and Sporting Lisbon qualify directly, while Benfica will play in the Champions League qualifiers.

The strength of the teams participating in the Champions League qualifying round this time is very strong, European giant-level teams include AC Milan, Arsenal and Liverpool, etc., and other teams in the top five European leagues are Chievo, Valencia, Hamburg, Lille, Osasuna, etc., and other teams are also regulars in the Champions League.

Therefore, this qualification match is still very difficult, but Benfica are lucky, they will draw against Austria's Rapid Vienna, which is considered to be the bottom of the list of teams participating in the Champions League qualification.

Benfica are very satisfied with the result, and they seem to have seen hope of qualifying for the Champions League. In terms of schedule, Benfica is the first away and then the home, and it also has a great advantage in the schedule, in such a situation, if they are not able to advance, Benfica fans must not be able to accept.

Benfica's squad went to Vienna, Austria two days early, and they had to adapt to the climate and stadium, and Qiu Ze of course also went with the team, he was in the squad for this game, but did not start, starting with Rui 61 Costa.

In this game, Benfica played a difficult game, and they conceded a goal less than ten minutes into the game. The game was not as easy to play as they thought, and after conceding the goal, Benfica frantically besieged Vienna quickly, and the strength was unacceptable to them.

However, after nearly 75 minutes of besieging Vienna, Benfica still did not break the opponent's goal, and just when Benfiacon's fans thought they would be away from home, Qiu Ze, who came on as a substitute in the second half, blasted a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area to help the team draw a difficult away goal.

Qiu Ze's goal was a Benfica corner kick that was pushed out of the box by the opposing defender. At that time, Qiu Ze happened to be at the front of the big penalty area, magma football flew over, he did not stop the ball, and shot directly, and the football Changhong through the Japanese version flew into Vienna's fast goal.

This is Qiu Ze's first goal scored in an "official match" after joining Benfica, which is worth remembering.

With an away goal advantage, Benfica returned to their home turf, where Qiu Ze was given the chance to start. It was also Qiu Ze's first appearance at Benfica's Stadium of Light, and Qiu Ze appeared in Benfica's red No. 10 jersey inside the Stadium of Light.

The Benfica fans at the scene were excited, a few months ago, they had fantasized about Qiu Ze wearing Benfica's red jersey for Benfica, and now they finally saw it, they were excited.

In the stadium, listening to Benfica fans chanting their names, Qiu Ze felt very comfortable. At the same time, he sighed in his heart: "In Lisbon, how can the gap between this team and the team be so big? ”

As long as Benfica keep a clean sheet in this game, they will knock out Rapid Vienna and Athletic in the next round. However, Benfica is not an Italian team, defense is not their strong point, offense is, and they have an offensive factor in their blood, so Benfica will not choose any defensive counterattack in this game.

From the very beginning of the game, Benfica began to launch a ferocious attack, besieging the Vienna Rapids. Benfica's attack was not the same as Bellamar's, which was fast, concise and direct. Benfica's attack, on the other hand, is advanced layer by layer through continuous transmission.

Qiu Ze is Benfica's nuclear power in the midfield, he is like a pivot for Benfica, and the other players revolve around him. Qiu Ze took the ball from the back and used the pass to let Benfica advance layer by layer and press towards Vienna's fast penalty area.

Vienna's fast defense is desperate, attacking strong, and fighting fiercely. However, before they could pounce, the football was passed by Benfica's players. Benfica's players took advantage of their passing and jishu dominance to orchestrate Vienna's quick defence.

"Armando, here!" Qiu Ze shouted at Petit in the backcourt. Petit saw Qiu Ze raise his hand to ask, and he immediately passed the football up.

As soon as Qiu Ze caught the football, he felt that someone behind him quickly pasted up, Qiu Ze, who was holding the ball with his back, did not stick to the ball, and immediately passed the football to the side, and the football rolled rapidly to Simang on the side. After the pass, Qiu Ze turned sharply, dodged Vienna's fast up-and-comers and stepped forward quickly.

"Simão, here!" Qiu Ze, who was rushing forward, shouted loudly, Simão did not stick the ball, and directly handed the football back to Qiu Ze, while he himself quickly stepped forward to the side.

At this time, the football rolled to Qiu Ze in the middle, so Vienna's fast defensive attention was in the middle. The full-back on the wing saw Simão rushing forward, and he did not lean towards the wing, so the wing became Simão's fast lane.

Qiu Ze, who was moving forward with the ball, watched six ways and listened to all directions, and Qiu Ze saw the vacancy without any hint from Simang. He immediately pushed the ball diagonally to the side with a strong push of the arch of his foot.

Qiu Ze passed the ball very well, the speed was fast enough, and the line had a little arc. Moreover, he did not hand over to Simang's feet, but passed in front of Simão, giving Simão room to accelerate.

The Vienna fast defender saw Qiu Ze pass the ball, and he immediately stepped up to tackle the football that had passed past him, but unfortunately his leg was slightly shorter, and the ball flew directly in front of him and flew to the wing behind him.

There Simão is like a red sports car rushing forward, Qiu Ze's ball pass is very good, not big or not too small, Siman, who caught up with the football, directly kicked up on the edge of the penalty area, rubbed out a small arc high ball, past the fast central defender of Vienna who rushed out, and flew directly to the Benfica center Nuno 61 Gomez who jumped high in the middle.

It was a very easy goal for Nuno 61 Gomez, because there was no one in front of him or behind him, and he had already shaken off the position of the Vienna fast centre-back, and he jumped high to meet the ball and shook his head into the far corner of the goal.

The Swift Vienna goalkeeper was late to react and the ball went into the net, 1-0, and Benfica led Rapid Vienna 2-1 on aggregate.

The Benfica fans at the scene were excited and cheered wildly. Benfica's attack was simply too fluid, and Qiu Ze's dispatch in the middle contributed a lot, and a lot of credit for this goal should be credited to Qiu Ze's head.

Qiu Ze was very happy at this time, he came to a new environment, and it was a lucky thing to be able to integrate into it so quickly, and to get such a good start.

Benfica took a one-goal lead in the 16th minute of the first half, which gave Benfica fans even more confidence that their team could progress to the next round.

Rapid Vienna has nothing to do with Benfica playing at home, because whether in Jishu or in general, Rapid Vienna is no match for Benfica at all, and it will be difficult for them to be able to stop Benfica.

In the 33rd minute of the first half of the game, Benfica's attack came again, and it was Qiu Ze's dispatch in the middle, Qiu Ze successively reversed the football to the two wings, dispatching Vienna's fast defense. During this period, Vienna's fast defense switched between two wings in a row, which was really hard.

And when the ball returned to the feet of Qiu Ze in the middle, Qiu Ze suddenly sent a straight ball forward and hit the back of the Vienna Rapid team central defender. Vienna's fast defenders are no longer so compact in the middle of the defense under the back and forth dispatch of Qiu Ze's two wings, and at this time, Vienna's fast defenders have formed inertia in their minds, and they will also send the football to the side, so when Qiu Ze sends a straight line through the ball, they are a little stunned.

However, Simão, who cut in sharply on the wing, was not stunned, and Simão went straight behind the Vienna fast central defender and caught the football to face the Vienna fast goalkeeper.

The Speedy Vienna players raised their hands to indicate that Simão was offside, but neither the referee nor the linesman did so. Simão easily shook the goalkeeper and tightened the ball into the empty goal, 2-0.

Benfica led Rapid Vienna 3-1 on aggregate, a goal that almost sealed the death sentence for Rapid Vienna. However, the Benfica man showed no mercy, and when he was about to play in the first half, Qiu Ze suddenly shifted the football to the other side after a series of one-two on the wing and Simao.

On the other side, after receiving the ball, Caragonis lay the ball into the penalty area in one step, and then took a step in the big penalty area, and directly kicked up and fired a heavy shell, and the football smashed into the fast goal of Vienna like a cannonball, 3-0.

At the end of the first half, Benfica led 4-1 on aggregate and Rapid Vienna had no chances. Benfica's head coach Santos replaced Qiu Ze, who had performed well in the game, and replaced Rui 61 Costa.

Rui 61 Costa scored in the 30th minute of the second half with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to break through the Vienna Rapid goal and make it 4-0, which was also Rui 61 Costa's first goal since returning to Benfica.

In the end, Benfica defeated their opponents 4-0 at home, eliminated Rapid Vienna with an aggregate score of 5-1, and advanced to the main stage of this season's Champions League.
