i am quaresma

Chapter 338 The strongest striker combination (3 in 1 chapter)

PFA best team, Quaresma was also selected, but because Joe Cole can only play on the left, and Quaresma can play left and right, so Quaresma appeared in the right forward position.

In fact, Quaresma may have played more time on the left.

In addition to the PFA awards, in the PWA selection, the honor of the best young player of the year was also taken away by Quaresma. However, compared with the PFA award selected by the players themselves, the PWA award selected by reporters seems to have more gold content. A little weaker, Quaresma didn't care too much.

Using this excuse, the team members forcibly blackmailed Quaresma for a big meal. Although Quaresma's flesh hurts from eating, there is no other way. If you don't eat, you can eat yourself. What can you do?
Because of the selection, the public opinion became lively again. After all, if someone wins the trophy, there must be someone who will miss the trophy. Don't those who miss the trophy complain?
Chelsea's three generals did not show any dissatisfaction in front of the media. Although they also expressed regret that they did not win the award, Gerrard still deserved the award. After all, they are all teammates of the England national team. It's not easy to meet.

And Henry is used to humility, and he will not question Gerrard's award, and Henry also believes that Gerrard is qualified to win the award.

As for Quaresma, if he has no grievances with Gerrard, why should he question Gerrard?

Therefore, in the award for the best player, the reporters did not find any hot spots.

Could it be that the young and energetic Quaresma is so calm after losing the award?

Well, Quaresma is so calm, his mentality has always been very good.

However, the reporters took another approach and found another breaking point, which was the selection of the best newcomer.

Last year's best rookie winner was Manchester United's Wayne Rooney. If Quaresma hadn't been born, then this season is likely to be Rooney winning consecutive awards. With the addition of local young players, even Ronaldo may not be able to compete with him.

However, because of the appearance of Quaresma, Rooney's performance was somewhat overshadowed. All kinds of statistics are not as good as Quaresma. What can he use to compete with Quaresma?

Rooney was spoiled by Ferguson when he was young. As the darling of the entire British football world and the future leader of English football, he may not be able to compete with those top leaders, but how could he be willing to lose to his peers like Quaresma?
So during the interview, Rooney couldn't help complaining a few words under the guidance of the reporters intentionally or unintentionally, and said what was in his heart.

"I have won awards before, so I don't feel much regret not winning this time!"

"Of course, I don't think Quaresma's performance is better than mine. I admit that he has scored a lot of goals, but you must know that on the court, one goal statistic cannot fully summarize the player's performance!"

"In the final analysis, Quaresma is not a team player. If you only focus on players who can break through and score goals, it will undoubtedly be unfair to those players who silently contribute their strength on the field!"

"Of course, I now prefer to win the PFA Player of the Year, rather than compete for the best rookie, I will not be so short-sighted!"

Rooney's words almost made the reporters jump with joy.

This guy is really simple-minded, so foolish.

Maybe Rooney didn't have any malice, just a little unwilling to win the award, and a little jealous of Quaresma, but if there is such a remark, as long as it is beautified, it will definitely become an explosive topic.

Sure enough, after the news hit the newspapers, it quickly ignited public opinion. Maybe what he said was not important, but it was obviously the rhythm of the two young talents directly tearing it apart!
Rooney is naturally not a troublemaker, but Quaresma is not a good baby, and his character of vengeance is simply his label.

Next, it depends on how the two of them fight. It is not impossible to directly use force when they meet on the court in the future.

When Quaresma saw the news, he couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't know why Rooney spoke so sourly. It stands to reason that this guy shouldn't pay much attention to the best rookie award!
This kind of resentment seems to have made him green!

Picked up the phone and called Ronaldo. The relationship between Ronaldo and Rooney is not bad before the World Cup. Let's ask about the situation.

"You asked the little fat man? Then there is no need to ask, he is just jealous!" Ronaldo replied to Quaresma in a natural tone, and then changed the subject, "Actually, I am also a little jealous. I thought I would have a chance to win What about the award, who would have thought that after you came to the Premier League, you would be so successful right away! Sigh!"

Quaresma curled his lips, you all care so much about the award for the best newcomer?
He expressed his disdain. After putting down the phone, he carefully put down the trophy that he had been holding for several hours and refused to let go.
Well, that was a kid who didn't grow up, and Quaresma didn't even bother to respond.

Of course, Quaresma can choose to fight against Rooney, but now Manchester United and Rooney have nothing to do, worrying about having nothing to do and being bored. It's different in Namibia, they still have the Champions League final to play, that's more important than anything else.

So when interviewed by reporters, Quaresma just said lightly: "I also think Rooney should compete for the best player award, but I don't know when he will be able to do so. After five times?"

That way, Rooney was almost ignored.

According to Ronaldo's phone call the next day, Rooney almost hit the wall with anger and vowed to give Quaresma a hard time next time he meets Arsenal!
Quaresma shook his head indifferently, he was really not afraid, he didn't believe that Rooney dared to punch him!
Even though Rooney was a boxer, Quaresma is also a good friend of the monk. He was so anxious that he asked Pepe to block Rooney outside the Manchester United training base, put a sack on his head, and smoked him. Sap, that's fun!
In the penultimate round, Arsenal challenged Manchester City in an away game. The two players almost had no desires. Wenger mainly focused on adjusting the player's state and adopted a large-scale roller skating.

Quaresma sat on the bench until 70 minutes into the second half before getting a chance to play. Wenger just wanted him to find his way.

In the end, with Henry's goal, Arsenal defeated Manchester City away and won a victory.

And because the last two rounds kicked off at the same time, the result on another field has also been passed. Chelsea beat their opponents strongly and scored three points. So far, Chelsea has embraced the Premier League championship trophy. The winning of the championship may have been killed!

At Stamford Bridge, an exciting awards ceremony must be going on right now, and the scene of the roaring mountains and tsunami seems to be happening right in front of your eyes.

Quaresma couldn't help looking in the direction of Stamford Bridge in a daze, the dust settled, and all the suspense was finally over.

Was this Premier League season a success for Arsenal?
Maybe, maybe not!
Arsenal in the previous life this season just started the pace of the fourth. It was not until the last round that they overtook Tottenham and won the No.4. They almost lost their qualification for the Champions League!
And now, Arsenal has been gritting their teeth and chasing the strong Chelsea until the last two rounds before stopping. They have never let the gap between them widen to the point of despair. .3 to end the season, far better than the previous life.

Therefore, from the perspective of failure in the championship, Arsenal is a failure, but if compared with the previous life, then Arsenal is undoubtedly a success!

This improvement is obviously brought about by the joining of Quaresma!
It is a pity that Quaresma is not strong enough, otherwise, Arsenal will not let Chelsea win the championship early and enjoy the taste of the championship!

It's a pity to lose!
But Quaresma will not just sink there.

We'll be back next season!

Henry in the distance had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. As the captain, he had to shoulder the responsibility of comforting his teammates at this time, but who could comfort him?
If Vieira is in
It's a pity that there is no if, now, he is the captain!
This season has seen hope and built confidence in the Champions League, so won't it be a matter of course to win the championship next season?
After feeling lost, the expressions on everyone's faces have become resolute.

In the last round of the league, Arsenal played against Wigan Athletic at home, which ended the game, and this season's Premier League will also end.

Because there is still more than a week before the Champions League final, in order to ensure the status of the main players, Wenger sent all the main lineup, and Quaresma also returned to the starting list, partnering with Henry as a striker.

In order to draw a successful end to the season, they don't want to end the season with a loss at home, so even though the outcome of the game doesn't mean much, the Arsenal players still fight hard.

This is the fourth time Arsenal have faced Wigan this season. The first round of the league and the semi-finals of the League Cup played two more rounds.

They didn't cause too much trouble for Arsenal in this game. If Wigan were playing at home, they might have to fight for the sake of face, but now, it is estimated that Wigan players are thinking about where to go on vacation. It's pointless to fight Arsenal to the death!
Not long after the game started, Quaresma broke the Wigan goal with a strong shot. This is his 23rd goal this season, and he continues to refresh his season scoring record.

But he didn't have many chances in the future. The screaming teammates rushed one by one. Before the end of the first half, Arsenal had already led their opponents 4:0. Even Henry did not forget Wigan. Swipe the goals and increase the number of goals to 28.

In the second half, the two teams had no patience to continue playing. One was thinking about vacation and the other was thinking about the Champions League final. They ran counter to the game and were not on the same channel at all.

In the end, Campbell's reversing locked the score at 5:0, and Arsenal ended this season's Premier League with a big victory.

At the end of the game, the Arsenal fans in the stands all cheered and applauded to encourage the players to work hard for a season.

They have all seen Arsenal's difficulties this season, and it is not easy to achieve such an outstanding performance.

Vieira's departure, at the time, seemed to have taken away Arsenal's spine, and perhaps it was the beginning of the sinking.

But at the end of a season, everyone suddenly found that Arsenal did not fall, they were still standing upright, maintaining the most eager competition for the championship, and they were still the arsenal that no one dared to underestimate.

They saw hope and infinite possibilities from the young Arsenal, and that was enough!
Quaresma lay down on the turf with an indescribably relaxed expression, as if he had experienced a lifetime of flowers.

He has played 38 league rounds, although he did not play in many of them and sat on the bench a lot, but the long league is like a marathon, no matter what, you have to run to the end.

There is one last game left, you can rest!

Therefore, you shouldn't express so much emotion. When you have that sad time, it's better to do free kick practice.

Try to improve yourself, never too much!
Except for Arsenal, all the teams have entered the holiday stage after the last round, or they have played desperately or messily for a season, and the players are going to spend their lives recklessly.

Only Arsenal has no way to disband, because they are going to play the final Champions League final, which is an opportunity that countless rich teams would not want to come.

At this time, because the dust settled in the Premier League, the media also began to summarize this season.

Chelsea won the championship one round ahead of time, Arsenal secured the runner-up in the final round, Manchester United regrettably ranked No.3, and Liverpool got fourth without any desire.

In the last round, Tottenham encountered a poisoning incident. Although they lost the game, it did not affect their ranking at all, and they still entered the UEFA Cup as No.5.

This is enough to explain the problem!
No matter how hot the North London derby is, no matter how sworn enemies the relationship between Arsenal and Tottenham is, there are some things that have a bottom line!

In the previous life until the last round, Arsenal was still behind Tottenham. If Tottenham hadn't suffered a poisoning incident and lost the game, the Gunners might not be able to overtake their rivals and qualify for the Champions League.

At that time, many conspiracy theorists believed that the poisoning incident was planned by Arsenal, after all, Arsenal was the biggest beneficiary.

However, no matter what the result of the final round is now, it will not affect Tottenham's ranking. Under such circumstances, Tottenham is still poisoned, which obviously shows that this matter has nothing to do with Arsenal!
It can be regarded as repaying Arsenal's innocence, but people in another time and space have no way to know.

Also qualified for the UEFA Cup are Blackburn and Newcastle, both of which are strong upstream teams in the Premier League, and their rankings are in line with expectations.

Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham are unfortunately relegated, and they can only struggle in the English Championship next season.

The FA Cup was won by Liverpool, the League Cup was won by Chelsea, and only Manchester United won nothing. This may become something that Manchester United will be ridiculed for some time to come.

Henry won the Golden Boot with 28 goals, Quaresma won the Silver Boot with 23 goals, and Van Nistelrooy, who was once kicked out of the main lineup by Ferguson, only scored 21 goals and had no choice but to get the Bronze Boot. .

Arsenal won the Golden Boots and Silver Boots with both guns, completely confirming the Gunners Golden Boots. Although it was a bit inaccurate to say so in the first half of the season, as Quaresma's team's ability to cooperate gradually improved, the tacit understanding with Henry It was also gradually established, but it really lived up to the name of the golden guns.

The two scored a total of 51 goals, which is already the same as the sixth-ranked Blackburn team in the league, surpassing the remaining 14 Premier League teams.

Some people have called the combination of Quaresma and Henry the most scoring striker combination, even though Quaresma is actually not on the striker most of the time.

In the history of the Premier League, the single-season scoring record of strikers was created by Newcastle forwards Andy Cole and Beardsley. They scored 93 goals and 94 goals in the 34-21 season, with a total of 55 balls.

However, there were 22 teams in the Premier League at that time, and there were a total of 42 rounds of matches, four more than now.

If you play four more games, with the abilities of Henry and Quaresma, scoring four goals does not seem to be a difficult task!

Moreover, Henry and Quaresma's playing time is actually not so full. Henry suffered an injury crisis at the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season he had to take a rotation in the league because he was distracted by the Champions League. His playing time was far less than that of other team's leading forwards. .

As for Quaresma, the league playing time is not even as good as Henry, because Wenger is always worried about his physical problems.
If the two are allowed to let go of their hands and feet in the league, I am afraid they will not be able to stop 60 goals.

For a while, Henry and Quaresma directly became the hottest striker combination in England and even European football, and there were endless praises.

At this time, those who are envious of Wenger's insight and knowledge are already repeating the same old tune, but they are still enviable.

What followed was another wave of price inquiries, and faxing quotations from fax machines every day has become a tedious job.

But at this time, the entire Arsenal team is fully preparing for the Champions League final, and all external interference has been shielded out, and it will not affect them at all.

Before the big battle, it is an inevitable rule that the public opinion will be popular first, and the Champions League final will be no exception, but at this time, Quaresma did not expect that the first rumors to be exposed are actually related to Henry!

It has not been a day or two for Barcelona to be interested in Henry. Before the battle with Barcelona, ​​the rumors intensified.

The news from "Aspen" and "Marca" that Real Madrid is preparing to win love and Barcelona to compete with Henry has been raging, but soon "Everybody" revealed that Laporte has initialed an agreement with Henry. If he decides to leave Arsenal, then he will only join Barcelona instead of Real Madrid or other clubs.

There is even news that Henry has bought a house in Barcelona, ​​and when the Champions League final is over, Henry will announce his decision to stay or stay!
If it was just a gossip, then Quaresma wouldn't care, but he knew that a large part of these rumors were true.

Although he did not go to Barcelona at the end of this season, it is an indisputable fact that Henry joined Barcelona. Perhaps this is the result of several games, but it is undeniable that Henry is actually very interested in Barcelona.

I just don't know if my arrival will change Henry's mind. Quaresma always feels that Henry's going to Barcelona is really not a wise decision.

From the Highbury Kings to Barcelona to assist Messi, so what if he wins the Champions League?
Of course, from the perspective of a perfect career, Henry is only short of a Champions League champion, so there is nothing wrong with such a choice.

I want to ask Henry, but I can't ask, and at the same time, I have made up my mind a long time ago!
Leading Arsenal to win the Champions League, it is estimated that Henry's thoughts about joining Barcelona will fade away!

There is no need to interfere with other people's choices, but if Henry leaves, no one can step up to him. Do you expect Van Persie to directly ripen him?

Forget it, let’s make our own decision first!

Because of Henry's transfer, Arsenal continued to put out the fire. When the players were interviewed, they said that the captain would not leave. Wenger also claimed that Henry would stay at Arsenal, but he didn't know if Wenger had already had an in-depth discussion with Henry.

When Quaresma was asked this question by reporters, he deliberately acted very surprised.

"The captain is going to Barcelona?" Quaresma's eyes widened. "How is it possible?"

"That's obviously nonsense. Would you be willing to leave from the Champions League champions to join the Champions League runners-up? From the winner's side to the loser's side?"

"Oh, it's possible!" Suddenly, Quaresma touched his chin again, as if thinking.

"If the chairman of Barcelona cries and asks Henry to save Barcelona, ​​then Henry may soften his heart and go to Barcelona to help the poor with technology!"

The reporters were going crazy.

Sure enough, every time Barcelona was mentioned, it would be no wonder that Quaresma didn't sneer.

No, here comes the topic again!

Even the rumors of Henry can be forcibly tied to Quaresma. It seems that Quaresma and Barcelona are inherently incompatible.

Quaresma's radical statement made Barcelona very angry.

The game has not been played, why is your Arsenal the champion!
Who is stronger and who is weaker, don't you have any idea?
Therefore, in an interview, the Barcelona players resentfully and strongly stated that Barcelona is the champion, and Arsenal will only usher in a disastrous defeat in the final!
Quaresma is ready for a verbal battle. Anyway, facing any Barcelona player, he will always come, no matter whether he is a top star or not, as long as you dare to stand up, I dare to spray you!
The night before heading to Paris, Quaresma received a call from Deco, whose voice on the other end of the phone was full of resentment.

"Ricardo, you're making it difficult for me!" Deco said helplessly.

Quaresma naturally knows what Deco means. Although the two have never worked together in Porto, they have a good relationship because they are both Porto players and teammates of the national team.

But Deco is now playing for Barcelona and is Quaresma's opponent in the Champions League final.

Don't even think about it, although it hasn't officially started yet, but when both teams fly to Paris, what will Quaresma and Barcelona look like.

In this way, it is very difficult for Deco to be caught in the middle!
Can he go shirtless and spray against Quaresma like other teammates?

After that, do we still have to meet each other in the national team?
