After the victory over Ajax, Benfica will face Athens AEK, with the strength of Athens AEK, it is not difficult for Benfica to win, then Benfica has a high chance of qualifying.

And if Ajax loses today's game, then the next game against Bayern, if Ajax can't win, then send it, say goodbye to the Champions League.

So both teams saw today as a life-and-death battle.

When he was in the car, Gu Hao felt the tense atmosphere in the team.

Unlike the others, he didn't feel anything.

The more critical the time, the clearer and calmer his mind became.

Now he just wants to get on the pitch quickly and get a feel for the quality of the team that is number one in the Portuguese Premier League.

A few hours later, the team bus stopped at a hotel near the Lumière stadium.

After the lunch break, everyone got on the bus again and went to the Lumière stadium.

Upon entering the stadium, the system's beep reappears.

"Trigger Mission: Defeat Benfica

" "Mission Reward: Template Draw Card, Template Upgrade Card"

Gu Hao listened to it and knew that today was a vicious battle.

When the system has a task with a high number of goals, it proves that today's team is very good and casual.

When there is such a task of only beating the team, it shows that winning today's game is a problem.

And the system uncharacteristically rewards great tasks.

One template draw card and one template upgrade card, which can only be obtained in the Eredivisie after two matches.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Hao walked into the dressing room to change clothes, and then warmed up with the team.

"Hello audience friends, it's me again, today's broadcast match is the second round of Group E of the Champions League group stage, today's game, everyone rest assured to watch, will definitely not be boring, because both teams are at the key point of emergence, if which team loses, it may not be in the knockout round."

The official commentator of the Eredivisie appeared early in the live broadcast room to chat with the audience.

And in China.

In the broadcast room of the Champions League group stage, the audience went up wildly.

Not only has Gu Hao been popular on Douyin in recent months, but after a series of videos posted by bloggers who understand the ball, many people have also learned about Gu Hao.

18 years old, the main center of Eredivisie overlord Ajax, ranked first in the top scorer list, worth 40 million euros, currently the first Chinese player.

Coupled with the fact that the Champions League is originally a top-level tournament and is watched by countless people every year, the attention of this game is directly full.

"We can see through the camera that Gu Hao is warming up with his teammates to see how much he warms up, and today is likely to be a starter, so let's look forward to his performance."

In the broadcast room, Zhan Jun said passionately.

Today is the famous commentator Zhan Jun of China to explain this match, which also adds a touch of popularity to today's group stage.

With the end of the warm-up, Gu Hao returned to the locker room, and then followed the team to the player tunnel to prepare for the field.

Van der Sar also discharged the lineup.

Defender: Left back Tagliafik, centre-back Blind, De Ligt (Matthijt), right-back Mazraoui

Midfielder: Left midfielder Donny van de Beek, defender De Jong, right midfielder Schönee

forward: left winger Tadic, centre forward Gu Hao, right winger Ziyech

before coming on, he and each of his starting teammates applauded.

"Brothers, let all of Europe know the strength of Ajax today."

Soon, the time for the game came.

The referee led the two teams to enter, and after choosing the side, the referee called the captain to the midfield rock-paper-scissors to decide the serving side.

Not surprisingly, Schöne, who had not lost, was given the kick-off again.

Gu Hao walked to the tee point, looked at the flashes, cameras, and eyes of the whole audience, and took a deep breath.

The referee blew the start whistle of the game, and Gu Hao passed the ball to De Jong.

At the start of the game, the audience began to cheer, setting the tone for the rest of this fierce game.

As soon as the match began, Ajax showed their fangs and began to bombard Benfica's defence frantically.

The lineup sent by Benfica in this tournament is.

Goalkeepers: Vlahodimos

Defenders: Grimado, Ruben Dias, Jadel, Almeida

Midfielders: Semedo, Pizzi, Bruno Fernandes

Forwards: Rafa Silva, Seferovic, Felix

Benfica's lineup can only be described as luxurious.

There are star players in the back line, and there is news that they are going to Manchester City, and the Portuguese Premier League's current number one central defender Ruben Diaz.

The midfield has an experienced and accurate Pizzi and Bruno Fernandez, who has a wide vision and a good pass.

The front court is even more outrageous, and the three strikers are the kind of people who have a good sense and play with their heads.

Rafa Silva, as his name suggests, like Ferrari Rafa, runs fast and dribbles.

Seferovic, a Swiss big centre-forward, is physically strong.

Felix, the popular fried chicken in the Portuguese Premier League, is the first in the Portuguese Premier League, known as the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo, since stepping into the professional league is the focus of the Portuguese media, the real focus of Portuguese fans.

After the start of the game, Benfica began to play with the ball that they excelled at, creating chances through direct ball and penetration in the middle, scoring from set-pieces, and strong individual combat and counter-attacking ability.

And Benfica plays 433, this formation plays pass-control, the formation is longitudinal, which is conducive to the rapid passing of the ball to the front.

At the beginning of the game, Ajax violently attacked the defense, but they were easily neutralized by Benfica.

Gu Hao on the field also saw how the strength of top defenders is.

Against Ruben Dias's defense, he struggled to have room to play the ball.

In particular, certain passes can be easily passed against the Eredivisie defenders, but here with Ruben Dias, he has to pass quickly and carefully.

Otherwise, as soon as the beat is slowed down, Ruben Dias, who smells the wind, will break the ball accurately.

But this is nothing for Gu Hao, who is slowly adapting to the rhythm and groping for the weaknesses of Benfica's backline.

Fortunately.

The rest of the Ajax players were in good form today.

De Jong and Donny van de Beek, in particular, are particularly active in midfield, passing accurately and fighting fiercely.
