With a score of 3-0, Benfica easily defeated Lille in the away game, taking the fate of promotion into their own hands.
Three to zero, still away from home, Benfica's current advantage is quite large. At this time, it is extremely difficult for Lille to advance. After this game, the entire French media looked down on Lille. They
I don't think Lille has a chance of comeback.
Whether it is in terms of strength, tactics, or other environmental factors, Lille is much worse than Benfica. Lille has almost been eliminated.
This made the fans and players of Lille very unhappy, although they also knew that their hope of promotion was slim. But for these guys to say this, they couldn't accept it and were very unhappy.
The players of the Lille team all said that although they lost a big score at home, it does not mean that they are out. Benfica can score such a big score in the away game, and our Lille team can do the same. They firmly believe that
I can perform a miracle on the road.
Of course, the outside world is not optimistic about Lille's bold words. They all think that Lille is just trying to comfort themselves. Benfica will not let the Lille people succeed.

Go ahead and try your best not to let your opponents take away the fruits of their victory.
Qiu Ze, the best player in this game, said this in an interview: "The opponent's strength is actually very strong. In this game, it is very likely that the opponent is not adapted to our rhythm and tactics, so that's why
Losing so badly, this score is not a true representation of the strength of both sides. In the second round, we will go all out because we want to go further."
Qiu Ze is very popular now. This guy continued his brilliant performance in this game. He assisted twice and scored a wonderful goal. This guy arranged all three goals of Benfica. What this guy showed
His strength has made many teams excited.
There are also many fans who believe that it is simply a waste for Qiu Ze to continue to stay in Benfica. Players like Qiu Ze are born to belong to the five major leagues and to the rich. At this time, there are questions about what Qiu Ze was
The news that the wealthy clubs are interested in him is flying all over the place, which makes Benfica people worried.
After all, when the contract was originally signed, the liquidated damages signed by Qiu Ze and Benfica were only eight million euros. After seeing Qiu Ze's amazing performance in the Champions League, Benfica believed that some teams were willing to pay eight million euros for Qiu Ze.
million euros.
At this time, there was still some anxiety within Benfica. They did not want to sell Qiu Ze so early. Although, when they introduced Qiu Ze, they knew that Qiu Ze would not belong to them forever, but so early
Sending Qiu Ze away was not what they wanted to see.
However, Rui Costa in the Benfica team supported Qiu Ze. In Rui Costa's words, Qiu Ze will not grow any further if he stays in Portugal. He can only go to a more competitive league.
Only then will there be greater progress.
For the sake of Portuguese football, Rui Costa strongly supports Qiu Ze to go out, and he must do so as soon as possible. Because now is the biggest rising period of Qiu Ze's career, and it is most beneficial for Qiu Ze to go out at this time.
.
For this reason, Rui Costa also specifically discussed this issue with Qiu Ze. Qiu Ze has not considered these issues yet. What he wants now is to play well in the next games and strive to achieve good results in Benfica, and finally
At least we can hold the league championship in our hands.
After the first round match with Lille, Benfica returned to the league. Before the second round, Benfica had two games to play in the league. The opponents in these two rounds were not very strong. For Benfica who is so ambitious,
For the team that wins the championship, these two games cannot be missed.
First of all, Benfica challenged Ferreira away from home. In the first round of the match between the two sides, Benfica unexpectedly lost to Ferreira. This time, Ferreira seemed very confident. They also thought they would defeat the Champions League.
of Benfica.
However, Benfica gave them a blow, 3 to 1. Benfica easily defeated their opponents to avenge their losses in the first half of the season. Qiu Ze performed well in this game, providing an assist and scoring a goal.

In the game against Ives, Santos directly put out almost all the substitute lineups, and Qiu Ze waited and sat on the bench. In this game, Benfica's substitute players played a little shaky and very nervous, but in
Before the end of the first half, Benfica's substitutes still scored a goal.

At the end of the 20th round of the league, the first team is still Porto, and they are still one point ahead of Benfica. Porto has 49 points, Benfica has 48 points, and Sporting Lisbon has 40 points.
Now that Sporting Lisbon has been left behind by Porto and Benfica, Sporting Lisbon's chances of winning the league championship are slim. The league championship should be between Porto and Benfica.
From the beginning of next season, Benfica suddenly showed strength, which attracted Porto's attention. Therefore, Porto gritted their teeth in these rounds and did not let go at all. They did not want to lead for most of the season and be suddenly surpassed by Benfica.
.
In fact, Sporting Lisbon is like watching two heroes competing, and they have made a profit. However, for them now, this chance is really slim. They can only focus on the UEFA Cup now, hoping to win in the UEFA Cup.
There was a breakthrough.
After this round of league, the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds began. In the first round, Porto drew 0-0 with Chelsea at home. They seemed to have a chance, but in fact they were eliminated.

In fact, Porto also wants to give up the Champions League at this time, because in the league, Benfica puts too much pressure on them, and they don't want to be left empty-handed because of the Champions League. After all, Chelsea is still too much for them now.
Stronger.
The match between Porto and Chelsea was one day ahead of Benfica's match. Porto, who played away from home, really didn't have many chances. Even when they advanced by one goal, they failed to hold on to the victory and were eventually defeated.
Chelsea went ahead 3-1 and were eventually eliminated.
Porto was eliminated, and now Benfica is the only one left in the Portuguese Super League. Fortunately, in the first round, Benfica had a huge lead, so Benfica still has great hope of advancing to the next round.
Benfica's goal in the Champions League this season is the quarterfinals. Now that the quarterfinals are in sight, Benfica will not lose like this. Benfica still attaches great importance to this game. They did not let Lille take it easy just because they were leading 3-0.
Team's.
At the beginning of the game, the Lille team launched a ferocious attack. They also knew that if they wanted to seize the last straw of promotion, they must attack crazily in the away game and strive to score more goals, so that they can
Promotion.
Benfica had already anticipated Lille's crazy attack, and they had made full preparations. However, Benfica did not completely defend. When attacking, Benfica still dared to press forward, and there were many attackers.
Lille did not dare to underestimate Benfica's offense. In the first round, Benfica had already taught Lille a big lesson, so they would not make the same mistake again this time.
When Benfica attacks, Lille's defense is very fast. They don't want to be attacked by Benfica.
However, in the 29th minute of the first half, Lille still failed to withstand Benfica's fierce attack. It was Qiu Ze again. This guy took the ball in front of the penalty area and attracted a lot of people to defend him.
Then he suddenly sent a backheel pass in a concealed manner, and the football passed through the Lille team's defense and rolled into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Benfica's forward Nuno Gomez fell to the ground and shoveled the ball into the goal of Lille. Lille fell behind 0-1 in the away game.

It's possible.
The Lille team was completely discouraged at this time. They knew that it was impossible for them to score five goals. At this time, they gave up their resistance and played very casually on the court. The Benfica fans did not
Any dissatisfaction, at this time, Benfica fans have already started celebrating wildly.
At this time, Santos also knew that the overall situation had been decided, so he immediately replaced Qiu Ze and others. At this time, they could take as much rest as possible. After all, Benfica's subsequent games were very heavy. When Qiu Ze was replaced
