164. The Lisbon derby goes to war

Benfica's Champions League campaign is over, as is Qiu Ze's first Champions League journey. In this Champions League game, Qiu Ze scored eleven goals and provided six assists, and his performance was perfect, even amazing.

Many teams in Europe can't help but remember this guy who is only 20 years old, and many teams are interested in this guy and very much want to bring in this guy, including Manchester United, Roma, Lille, and other teams that have played against Benfica.

Among them, Manchester United is a more sincere team, Alex 61 Ferguson takes a fancy to Qiu Ze and is very optimistic about Qiu Ze. Qiu Ze is Scholes's best successor, Qiu Ze is physically strong, jishu is excellent, can attack and defend, although he is young, maybe a little less experienced, but this guy definitely has a very brilliant future.

Moreover, the Manchester United team's introduction of this guy at this time is not for him to replace Scholes's class as soon as he comes, and now Scholes can still play the main team, but this guy can only do it for two or three years at most, let Qiu Ze learn from Scholes for two or three years, and then enter the main lineup of the Manchester United team, how good is this?

Alex 61 Ferguson really thought so, so, at this time, he immediately sent an offer to Benfica, hoping to bring in Qiu Ze. When receiving an offer from Manchester United, Benfica's senior management was not too surprised, with Qiu Ze's amazing performance in the Champions League, no one made an offer, which is a strange thing.

At this time, the Benfica hierarchy had not yet thought about whether to sell Qiu Ze, so they immediately rejected Manchester United on the pretext that it was not for sale.

Of course, at this time, Qiu Ze was training hard to prepare for the league, and he didn't know about it. Now it's time to storm for the league title. Porto and Benfica are now tied on 56 points, with Porto leading Benfica by five goals on goal difference and temporarily in first place.

Now that Benfica have also been eliminated from the Champions League, they can also go all out for the league. However, in the next league game, Benfica played very badly, because in midweek, Benfica's main players were too physically exhausted, they played extra-time, played penalty shoot-outs, and by the end of the week, they had not recovered much.

Their opponents in this match are Braga, who still have the quality and they are now fifth in the league. Although Braga was an away game, Braga showed a lot of energy.

Braga were the hosts at the start of the game, and they also knew that Benfica had been too expensive in midweek, and they also wanted to use this opportunity to beat Benfica and move up the rankings.

Braga's attack was very ferocious, Benfica, who was almost all substitutes, was almost pressed by Braga, and Benfica's goal was threatened many times, and many times the goal was almost broken, which made Benfica fans frightened.

Porto have already won 2-1 in their previous fixture, Benfica will have to beat their rivals Braga in this match if they are to fight for the title. But as things stand, it will be difficult for Benfica to win against their opponents.

Benfica fans are anxious, if they can't win this match, they want to fight for the title in the future, then it hangs.

In this game, Benfica's players played very hard, but the effect was not good, knowing that in the 70th minute of the second half, Qiu Ze came out and the situation improved. In the middle of the game, Qiu Ze scored a hard shot at the edge of the penalty area to break through Braga's goal, 1-0, and Benfica struggled to win the opponent.

After this game, Porto and Benfica are tied on 59 points, and Porto is still five goals clear of Benfica and still at the top of the table.

In the twenty-sixth round of the league, the Benfica team was limited to Porto to play, Benfica's opponent was Maritimo, the strength of the opponent was not strong, although Benfica was away this time, but Benfica played very easily, Benfica's main players rested for more than a week, and their physical fitness recovered.

In this game, the Benfica players played very well. First, in the nineteenth minute of the game, Qiu Ze's free kick scored directly, and Benfica led 1-0. Then in the 49th minute of the game, Nuno 61 Gomez received a cross from Simão on the wing and scored with a header, 2-0.

Zuihou, in the seventy-third minute of the game, Karagunis suddenly stepped forward, and after receiving Qiu Ze's ferry, he shot through the net with a strong kick, 3-0, Benfica easily defeated Maritimo and temporarily topped the league table.

Porto, who played late to Benfica, clearly felt the pressure, but they did very well against their opponents, comfortably winning 3-1 to continue leading the table.

At this time, the two teams have 62 points, and Porto is only ahead of Benfica by four goal difference, which is definitely good news for Benfica, and now there are four rounds left in the league, and Benfica can hope to catch up with Porto.

At this time, Benfica's players are full of energy and very sufficient. They felt that the league title must be theirs.

The next round of fixtures will be very important for Benfica, as they will face the strongest opponent in the four rounds of the tournament, which is their local rivals Sporting Lisbon.

The importance of this game, all Benfica people know very well, this game Benfica must win, and win by as big a score as possible. Although they have always looked down on Sporting Lisbon in their hearts, they also have to admit that Sporting Lisbon's ability is still very strong.

Porto must be smiling at this point, they don't think Benfica can get any advantage from Sporting Lisbon, they know the quality of Sporting Lisbon very well. They hope that Sporting Lisbon can take down Benfica, which is the result they would most like to see.

Prior to this match, the major Portuguese media reported on this game, as they all believed that the result of this game would affect the ownership of the Portuguese Super League champions Zuihou this season, and if Benfica did not get past Sporting Lisbon, then they would completely lose the chance to fight for the league title.

Before the game, Sporting Lisbon personnel said in interviews that they would not show mercy to Benfica's men. They don't want Benfica to have a chance to win the league title, even if they don't have a chance to win it.

Sporting Lisbon's words are clear, that is, anyone can win the league title, but Benfica can't win it. Sporting Lisbon is very unaccustomed to the Benfica people, and they don't want Benfica to win the league title for Zuihou.

And there is one more big enemy in Benfica's lineup, that is Qiu Ze. It was Qiu Ze who made the powerful Sporting Lisbon like this, which made Sporting Lisbon very badly injured, and it will take at least a few years to recover.

Sporting Lisbon fans don't like Qiu Ze very much, and they certainly don't want Benfica to win the league title.

On this topic, Sporting Lisbon and Porto fans still have a lot in common, and Porto fans have also come forward to cheer for Sporting Lisbon, they hope that Sporting Lisbon can beat Benfica, and preferably beat Benfica to the point that they can't take care of themselves.

Speaking to the media before the game, Benfica coach Santos said: "This game is very important for us, no matter who our opponent is, we have to beat the opponent, and we have to win by a big score. We are still very confident in this. Don't underestimate the heart of a champion! ”

Santos added: "Sporting Lisbon is in a difficult moment right now, they simply can't compare to us, they don't have enough to threaten us. ”

Although this guy said so, he actually didn't have much bottom in his heart, this is he is cheering for his players, hoping that Benfica's players will face this game with passion, win the opponent, and compete for the league title.

Benfica's player Qiu Ze is the player that the outside media wants to interview the most, because this guy has a very fascinating past with Sporting Lisbon, and they are eager to know what Qiu Ze thinks at this time. However, they did not interview Qiu Ze.

Until the start of the game, they didn't interview Qiu Ze, it seems that Benfica has a rule not to let Qiu Ze stand up for an interview.

However, other Benfica players came forward to be interviewed, and Rui 61 Costa from Benfica's squad stood up for an interview, saying this in an interview: "The opponent in this game is very strong. But I think we know how important this game is for us. So, we don't care about the opponent in this game? We're going to do our best to win. ”

On 30 April 2007, the Stadium of Light in Lisbon will be the highlight of the 27th round of the Portuguese Super League this season, between Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, the second Lisbon derby of the season.

This game is very important for the home team Benfica, because Benfica must win this game, so that Benfica are in a passive position from the beginning, which is definitely good news for Sporting Lisbon who are playing away.

In an interview before the game, Sporting Lisbon's manager Paulo 61 Bento said: "We are already invincible in this game. It's Benfica who should be anxious now, not our Sporting Lisbon, we can see the move, we have the initiative in the game! ”

There is a lot of confidence in this game for Sporting Lisbon, who are convinced that they can beat Benfica. At this time, Sporting Lisbon are not without pursuit, and they will certainly hope to finish second in the league so that they don't have to play in the Champions League qualifying round next season and go straight to the group stage of the Champions League.

Now they are not very behind Benfica, and after their victory over Benfica in this game, they still have a good chance of surpassing Benfica. So why doesn't Sporting Lisbon want to win this game?

However, they are not as urgent as Benfica, and the initiative has always been in the hands of their Sporting Lisbon.

Before the game even started, the Stadium of Light was filled with passionate fans, chanting Benfica's name and singing the Benfica anthem to cheer on the Benfica players in the hope that Benfica would win the game.

And the fans of Sporting Lisbon are not showing weakness, they are shouting wildly, as if trying to make this their turf. They don't have stage fright at all, they don't fear at all. They even openly provoked Benfica fans, as if they were the masters here.

There were also a lot of media reporters who came to the scene today to watch the game. This game is the most important game of this round, and they can't let go of anything, so they came to the scene very early.
