Chapter 108 What If You Win?

After this difficult but not difficult game, some of Porto's main players got a chance to rest, and Quaresma is naturally indispensable among them.

In the eyes of Adrianse, Quaresma is not a physical madman, and it is indeed the case. The system can give the most accurate feedback. Maybe Quaresma can grow a third lung lobe in the future, but at least for now, His physical fitness level can only be ranked in the middle.

The rotation rest is not because the next league game is not important, but after the next league game, the UEFA Champions League knockout round will start. At that time, what Porto will face is the real strong enemy, which makes the entire Porto team very nervous powerful enemy.

But it's not without good news. The three major midfielders have returned one after another. Porto can face strong opponents with an absolute main lineup, even if they can't beat them, they still have to fight.

What if you win?
Facing Bilenni’s Portuguese Super League on the weekend, Porto, who played half of the main players, did not play the dominant performance in the last Jedi counterattack, but they still won the game smoothly, took all three points, and continued to consolidate their dominant position in the standings .

After the game, Porto finally turned his attention to the Champions League knockout round, facing his opponent in the knockout round-AC Milan.

Quaresma vaguely remembered that Porto's opponent seemed to be Inter Milan, and he didn't know what went wrong, but now it was replaced by AC Milan.

This opponent makes the current Quaresma lose his temper.

There is no doubt that Milan is strong, especially this season.

Although they encountered Istanbul Night in the final Champions League final, were reversed and missed the championship, but this season's Milan is recognized as the Milan with the strongest lineup, even stronger than the Milan team that aspired to the Champions League in the 06-07 season.

Facing such an opponent with absolute dominance, not to mention the immature Porto, even the Porto team that won the championship under Mourinho last season, I am afraid it is more or less ominous.

It's not that Quaresma is timid, nor is it that he raises others' aspirations and destroys his prestige. The strength of the two sides lies here, and one can see who is stronger and who is weaker without even comparing them.

There are absolute superstars, a strong overall team, and a top coach who can crush Porto no matter what. Facing such an opponent, how can Porto not be nervous.

Sometimes, the gap in strength really cannot be smoothed out by simply bursting the seeds. If there is no Liverpool's own strength, even if Porto explodes, it is estimated that AC Milan will not be able to do anything.

Quaresma is very realistic, he will not think that all opponents can only be defeated by himself, but he will not belittle himself, even if the opponent is indeed stronger than himself, everything must be done.

This is Quaresma's good mentality, regardless of life or death, first show your sword!

Quaresma's calmness seems to be gradually infecting his teammates, and the faint psychological turmoil before the game has gradually been smoothed away. The state shown by Porto will make people unable to help but have deep expectations.

Maybe we can win!
AC Milan met Barcelona in Group F, and finally overwhelmed Barcelona and successfully qualified as the first in the group.

The UEFA Champions League's lottery rule is that among the opponents in the knockout round, the team that ranks first in the group has the advantage of the schedule. They can keep the tiebreaker at their own home court, while Porto, who qualify as the second in the group, can only endure the first. Unfavorable schedule for latecomers.

In other words, the first round of the contest between the two sides will be held at the Porto Dragon Stadium, which is a game at Porto's home court.

AC Milan arrived in Porto three days in advance, that is, after the end of the weekend's Serie A, they rushed to Porto to prepare for this knockout match in advance, obviously not, they also attach great importance to Porto.

In any case, Porto is the defending champion of the Champions League this season. Even if Milan is strong, they dare not take it lightly.

Quaresma did not participate in the pre-match press conference, and I don't know if there was a verbal confrontation. Anyway, the recent public opinion is all about this game, and various fancy articles emerge in endlessly.

Some compare the strength of the two sides, some compare the head coach, some compare the players, and even compare the worth of the players of the two sides. Anyway, what the fans like to watch, the media will do whatever. Taking advantage of the wind of the Champions League knockout round, it is very profitable. A wave of eyeballs.

Quaresma was very disdainful of this, and he knew that Porto was crushed by AC Milan in every aspect with his heels. What is there to compare?
What's interesting is that some media actually linked Quaresma and Kaka, and compared this pair of young stars who have already made their debut in European football.

They are all equally talented and talented. Although their dribbling styles are quite different, they are both good counter-attackers and have gradually become the leaders of the team. They are completely comparable.

In this regard, Quaresma is very happy. After all, he knows what kind of achievements Kaka will achieve in the future. Although he has not made a big splash yet, this day is not far away.

And I can only be regarded as just emerging in the Portuguese Super League, and there is still a long way to go to become the core of the European giants.

However, this comparison has also proved the huge gap between Porto and AC Milan from the side.

I am the number one star in Porto, and Kaka, in AC Milan, is really not an absolute big name.

Looking at the Milan lineup this season, it is so luxurious that Quaresma, a reborn, has the urge to drool.

There are Ukrainian nuclear warheads and all-around center Crespo on the forward line, and even Inzaghi can only sit on the bench most of the time;

The golden pair of midfielder Pirlo and Gattuso can attack in advance and defend in retreat. There are also Kaka and Seedorf, a pair of attacking avant-garde with strong attack power, and their midfield strength is simply the best in Europe;
As for the back line, it is the strongest link in Milan. Stam and Nesta are two top central defenders in the world. No other club can compare. The left and right full backs are Cafu and Maldini. The great full-back, like a barrier, firmly blocked the way to Milan's goal.

Even if Dida is not the strongest goalkeeper in today's football, it is enough to rank in the forefront. This position is not considered a weakness of Milan.

It can be said that the current Milan team has almost no weaknesses at all, and it is as difficult as heaven to beat Milan head-on.

Knowing the strength of AC Milan, Quaresma practiced even harder these days, even if it brought him little improvement, he still persisted and did not give up.

Milan, is the strongest opponent he has encountered after his rebirth!
Just like a whetstone, he needs such an opponent to sharpen himself, sharpen his edge, and complete his transformation!
Still the same sentence, what if you win?
