Marco Silva prepares Benfica for Aarhus Europa League clash

Benfica coach Marco Silva has addressed the team's upcoming Europa League challenges and recent player performance. Ahead of the match against Aarhus, Silva noted that the Danish side represents the most difficult opponent faced in the preliminary stages due to their status as previous champions. He emphasized that the team is focused on immediate objectives rather than long-term goals, aiming to perform at their best to reach the league stage.

In a separate matter, Silva expressed frustration regarding Dodi Lukebakio's performance during a match against Casa Pia. Despite the game being heavily decided, Silva was reportedly dissatisfied with the Belgian international's lack of concentration and perceived complacency upon entering the pitch, specifically citing a failure to maintain an onside position during a play in the 80th minute.
