i am quaresma

Chapter 186 Penalty Kick

"Happy birthday, Ricardo!"

The teammates surrounded Quaresma in the middle, laughed and applauded, and then stepped forward to hug Quaresma.

Quaresma was stunned, completely confused by this wave of operations by his teammates.

The ignorant and ignorant expression was caught by the camera and looked at, and in the eyes of all the fans, they couldn't help laughing.

Today is my birthday?
Although he inherited the memory of Quaresma's predecessor, it is impossible for him to remember such an insignificant birthday as his birthday, so he doesn't even know that today is his birthday.

He didn't remember, but his teammates did!
Now, all the teammates are by Quaresma's side and sincerely wish him a happy birthday. This feeling makes Quaresma want to cry.

Van Persie put his arms around Quaresma and smiled so happily.

"Do you really think I'm crazy? Haha!"

Quaresma held back his tears while punching Van Persie.

"Damn it, I thought you were crazy! Bastard!"

It turned out that Van Persie's rude attitude towards him before was completely intentional, affecting his emotions, and then reversed to give himself a big surprise.

The hugs from his teammates made Quaresma feel extremely heart-warming. This feeling is very wonderful and intoxicating to him.

"Go, take a penalty kick! This is our birthday present to you!"

Van Persie blinked and pushed Quaresma towards the penalty spot.

Quaresma was stunned, no wonder Van Persie had a chance to shoot but didn't kick it just now, as if he was waiting for the opponent to foul. It turned out that he wanted to create a penalty for himself.

You are really painstaking!
But why did Quaresma think that Van Persie was afraid of spitting out cakes, so he resolutely refused to shoot, and creating a penalty for himself was just incidental.

Well, for the good intentions of my teammates, I can't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Standing on the penalty spot, looking back at his teammates who still had a smile on their faces, Quaresma felt full of strength.

He has never taken a penalty kick, and even seldom practiced. In his previous life, he always felt that scoring a penalty kick was not a great goal, at least it was easier than ordinary goals.

But now standing at the penalty spot, Quaresma suddenly realized that he was wrong.

It might look easy to get the ball in from the penalty spot, but you have to know how much pressure a player has to stand there.

Penalty kicks may not be a competition of skills, but a game of will.

If it's just icing on the cake, that's fine, but if it's directly related to the team's victory or defeat, the weight of the penalty is absolutely crucial.

To be able to stand up and bear the pressure bravely, that person must have a big heart.

"Penalty!"

"Arsenal got a penalty!"

"The referee's penalty was extremely wise. The Ajax defender kicked Van Persie down! The penalty is no problem!"

The voice of the commentator broadcasting the game was already extremely excited.

"Henry is not here, who will be the one to take the penalty kick?"

"Hey, why did Van Persie hold the ball and run outside the penalty area?"

"He stuffed the ball into Quaresma's arms, does that mean to give the penalty to Quaresma?"

"Other Arsenal players also ran over. Although we couldn't hear what they were saying, the players surrounded Quaresma. Why?"

"I'm afraid this will become the focus of this game after the game. Let us continue to pay attention to the game first. I think the media will give us the answer after the game!"

"Quaresma put the ball on the penalty spot and retreated slowly. It seems that Quaresma will really take the penalty kick!"

"The Ajax goalkeeper is standing in front of the goal, ready for battle. We can see that his expression is very serious!"

"How will Quaresma take the penalty?"

"He's not one to follow the rules!"

"Pick the ball up and barb?"

"Get down on the ground and head the ball into the goal?"

"Or use the outer instep which he is best at?"

"Okay, no kidding!"

"The Quaresma is on, let's run!"

"Oh my god! The ball went in, Quaresma pushed the bottom left corner and fooled the Ajax goalkeeper!"

"How could he choose such an ordinary way of shooting?"

The narrator may be full of resentment. He thought he could see a good show, but who knew it was so ordinary.

But the fans don't care about whether the penalty kick is good or not. It's enough for them to take the lead, so they all cheered and were extremely excited.

Quaresma is not stupid. He has never practiced penalty kicks. If he rashly uses the outside of his instep, he may be caught by surprise, but it is more likely to kick the ball out of the goal. Therefore, it is better to score the ball honestly. stronger than anything.

After the goal, Quaresma rushed directly into the group of teammates, and everyone hugged and celebrated together.

For the first time, Quaresma felt as if he was the one being cared for.

For a long time, Quaresma has led the team forward more often. Whether it is in Porto or Arsenal, the teammates seem to be unable to keep up with Quaresma's rhythm.

But this time, his teammates gave him a penalty kick to help him celebrate his birthday. This experience made him feel that he didn’t need to be so tired, because he had teammates around him to rely on, and maybe sometimes they were not so reliable. , but everyone has their own shining points, which burst out and are still bright.

Well, thank you!
Bros!
I am very satisfied with your gift!

Thank you!

In the second half, Arsenal took the lead. After half the time, Ajax, who were playing at home, still had a chance to equalize the score. They would not release water because of Quaresma's birthday, and that had nothing to do with them.

The home team launched a fierce attack on Arsenal's position, and Arsenal had to retreat and gather in the midfield.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Babel also imitated Quaresma and cut in from the wing, made a surprise attack, and suddenly shot the goal. The ball almost broke through Lehmann's ten fingers.

One minute later, Vermaelen grabbed the corner kick from Garasek. Unfortunately, the Ajax central defender did not control the angle of the header and the ball was caught by Lehmann.

In the 83rd minute, Ajax's offense advanced layer by layer and hit outside the Arsenal penalty area. Lindbergh's vigorous blast missed the goal again, and he missed the Arsenal goal by a little bit.

This period of time, Arsenal is a bit passive on the field, but this will not prevent them from playing a sharp counterattack.

In the 85th minute, Ashley Cole stole the ball and then made a long pass. The ball hit Ljungberg's feet on the right. The Swedish fast horse dribbled the ball towards Ajax's half, as if entering no one's land.

After encountering the defense, Ljungberg sent the ball to Reyes' feet. The Spanish teenager continued to advance from the ribs, but suddenly pulled the ball back, and then hit the middle.

There, Van Persie took away the defense, Quaresma came in, there was no defense at all, and easily pushed the ball into the Ajax goal, winning the game with a brace.
