Chapter 353 "Powerful" Iran
A big victory made Portugal the focus of the whole world. Perhaps except for reaching the final of the European Cup two years ago, Portugal does not have such a strong sense of presence at other times.

After the expansion of the World Cup, due to the uneven strength, it is not uncommon to see a game with a disparity in the outcome.

But the dominance shown by Portugal in this game is what really cares about the opponents who want to win.

Although the opponent Angola is a newcomer to the World Cup, it can break out from Africa. It can be regarded as a strong African team. It also has the general characteristics of African teams and is not necessarily easy to deal with.

But in front of Portugal, Angola has almost no power to fight back, not even able to resist.

Needless to say, the shock caused by such a situation to everyone!
On the second day, the whole world seemed to be talking about Portugal's big victory. The momentum of the media and public opinion made Portugal suddenly become the favorite to win the championship, at least the strength of the top four, and the praise was endless for a while.

This is the game Portugal played without the core midfielder Deco. If Deco is on the court, wouldn't Portugal be stronger?

On the winning odds list, Portugal has risen sharply. After one game, it has already kept pace with Italy, which ranks third, showing a strong side.

What is even more amazing in the Portuguese team is Quaresma's perfect debut.

The World Cup debut directly staged a hat-trick. I dare not say that it is unprecedented, but I also feel amazing.

Quaresma has directly extended his strength from the season to the World Cup, and this game is the best proof!

It is normal for Angola to be unable to defend against Quaresma. Even the Cosmos team Barcelona cannot stop Quaresma from showing off, let alone a small Angola.

What's even more incredible is that Quaresma completed a hat-trick within 20 minutes, and the rest of the time, he even clocked out of get off work and started playing soy sauce!
Maybe it's because he really can't get too excited, or maybe he's deliberately accumulating energy. Anyway, Quaresma has always been lazy after performing a hat-trick, and he lost the momentum at the beginning of the game.

If Quaresma was on full fire throughout the game, would it be difficult to score five goals?
I'm afraid no one will find it difficult, that elusive inward cut shot cannot be stopped by Angola!

It seems that Quaresma's picture is not small!

But even if Quaresma paddles badly, he still tops the scorer list.

In the game that has ended, the German team Klose scored twice, the Mexican midfielder Bravo also scored two goals, and the Australian Cahill also scored two goals. His performance was amazing!
However, they still can only rank behind Quaresma. It seems that everyone is a little desperate and a little discouraged for Quaresma's easy goal!

It's really easy to watch Quaresma score!

But why is it so difficult when it's your turn?
Perhaps on this point, Pauletta has the deepest experience!
Speaking of which, Quaresma's hat-trick in this game is the 48th hat-trick in the history of the World Cup, and the previous hat-trick was completed by Pauletta in the last World Cup. He was in the match between Portugal and Poland. Kicking above the head, an incredible miracle was accomplished.

It's just that, in front of the radiant Quaresma, Pauleta seems to suddenly become unable to score goals, and can only play the role of a tactical center.

Under the squeeze of the Portuguese wingers, Pauleta's goal was almost difficult.

Because of this hat-trick, Quaresma also moved up two places on the odds list of the Golden Boot, surpassing Henry and Adriano in one fell swoop, and only behind Ronaldo. Perhaps, before the aliens were truly determined to fall , everyone will have the greatest illusions about aliens, and Quaresma can't change this!
The next day's game was destined to steal the limelight from Portugal's big victory, so the attention Portugal received plummeted. Only Portuguese fans still paid attention to their every move, but for ordinary fans, the game still made them look forward to it.

At this time, the Portuguese national team has already arrived in Frankfurt from Cologne, and the second round of the group stage will be held in this city.

Because of the big victory, the atmosphere in the Portuguese team is very relaxed. When interviewed by reporters, the players always have smiles on their faces. If they lose, then they may not accept the interview so happily.

"I'll say it again, there is really no conflict between me and Pauletta!" Quaresma explained tirelessly. This is the first time a reporter has asked this question in a day.

Do you have to say that there is a grudge between me and Pauletta, and that Pauletta is deliberately embarrassing himself?

Pauletta didn't do it on purpose, but after the game, he asked himself to apologize, and agreed to use a big meal to compensate himself. How could Quaresma be upset?

However, these reporters were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, as if they wanted to artificially create news about Portugal's internal strife, and kept asking this question endlessly, which made Quaresma tireless.

In the end, it was the staff of the Portuguese national team who stopped these reporters, otherwise Quaresma would not even think about being able to participate in training.

But when it comes to the training ground, there are not so many worries. Quaresma and his teammates are happily preparing for the next game with the Iranian team.

The schedule is very favorable for Portugal!

The opponents in the first two rounds are full of belly. As long as they win two consecutive victories, Portugal can secure a place in the group stage. At that time, it will depend on the situation to decide whether to fight against Mexico!

And it seems that there is not much suspense about winning Iran.

Perhaps Iran can make a clamor in Asia, but on the stage of the World Cup, it can only play the background board.

Not to mention Quaresma, the entire Portuguese team did not pay much attention to Iran. They focused more on Mexico, and only Mexico can cause them some trouble in the group stage!

For Quaresma, he feels that his only goal in this game is to score a few more goals. It is best to use two games to directly lock the World Cup Golden Boot!

This opponent is really boring!

After the nuclear crisis, Iran’s football seemed to be linked to politics. During the Iran-Iraq War, Iran almost became the enemy of all Arab countries. After adjusting its strategy to deny the Holocaust, the whole world was shocked. .

Now outside the hotel where the Iranian team is staying, a large number of protesters gather every day, holding banners and shouting slogans, so that the Iranian team cannot even enjoy a quiet environment.

Especially after the vice president of Iran came to watch the game, even the host team, Germany, could not minimize the political factors, and could only hope that the Iranian team would be out of the game and go home soon.
Facing such an opponent, Portugal is even about to lie down and win!
Many people say that football should not involve politics, but in fact, what you say may not be true.

Anyway, Iran is destined to be unable to stop Quaresma's progress, nor can it stop Portugal.

Send Iran away with your own hands!
Quaresma felt that there was only so much he could do!
Quaresma also participated in the pre-match press conference. After the first round, Quaresma still ranked first in the scorer list. This game may become a performance for Quaresma to score goals. However, the reporters couldn't hide their desire to get a little news out of Quaresma's mouth.

However, before it was Quaresma's turn to speak, the Iranian coach Ivankovic's speech caused great controversy.

"Between Mexico and Portugal, the two favorite teams, I think Mexico is stronger!"

"Although we lost the game against Mexico, it does not mean that we have lost the chance to qualify."

"Our team's style is restrained to a certain extent by the Mexican team's style. Their feet move faster, and their fast and smooth cooperation makes it difficult for us to defend."

"But Portugal's style will not restrain us, so we have every chance to compete with Portugal!"

"Of course, we have to defend well in the game. How to limit Quaresma's performance may become the key to our victory!"

"I believe we will win, we have the strength!"

Ivankovic's statement caused the reporters to look at each other in blank dismay, and did not react for a long time.

Who gave you the courage to say you could beat Portugal?

Angola's body is not cold yet, and you start to talk about it?
No matter from which point of view, Iran has little chance of causing trouble to Portugal. Are Iranians so arrogant now?
Not to mention others, Quaresma alone is worth more than the entire Iranian team. What do you use to compete with Portugal?
What kind of style is restraint or not?

In the face of absolute strength, everything is a cloud!
Besides, how could Iran's style of play not be restrained by Portugal?
Iran's current style of play is still physical, and it is indeed competitive in Asia, but it is completely powerless in front of Portugal, a technical team!
Mexico mainly uses pass-and-control style of play, but its overall strength is not as good as that of Portugal. Iran has no temper after being beaten by Mexico, so can it hold its head up in front of Portugal?

Stop it!
Hurry up and pack your bags and get ready to go home!

Do you have to come out to find a sense of existence?

Are you not afraid to offend Portugal and beat you into a sieve?

Think about Angola, that is the same as the past!

At the time of 3:0, Portugal didn't bother to attack anymore, but it turned out that Angola was overwhelmed and still provoked, and Portugal poured two more.

If it weren't for Angola's sudden surrender when they saw the situation was not good, maybe Portugal would get in a few more!

What Iran is doing now is like digging its own grave with a shovel, waiting for Portugal to bury them alive
Scolari frowned slightly. Based on Quaresma's understanding of Scolari, the old man was probably angry.

If you just express your confidence in the game before the game, there is nothing wrong with it, you can't admit defeat before the game starts!
But you can't use Mexico to compare and belittle Portugal. It's a bit too much to praise one and step down the other!

If you lost to Mexico, you say that Mexico is stronger than Portugal, which means that you are about the same strength as Portugal?
Do you want to lose face?

If Mexico says that its strength is about the same as that of Portugal, that's no problem, after all, Mexico's world ranking is higher than Portugal's.

But when Iran said this, it would make people laugh out loud!

Quaresma felt that the old man would definitely go back, otherwise he would not be Scolari.

Sure enough, Scolari picked up the microphone and started his speech under the excited expressions of all the reporters.

"Our tactics did not restrain the Iranian team, and Iran is indeed a strong team. They have a physical advantage, which is their unique condition!"

"I watched the video of the match between Iran and Mexico. I think Mexico's victory is entirely due to luck, and Iran has every chance to win!"

"Our goal in this game is not to lose. As long as we don't lose to Iran, we have every chance to get out of the group and advance together with Iran!"

"Although this goal is very difficult for us, we will not back down!"

"After qualifying, the two teams in the same group can only meet in the final. In other words, we don't have to worry about meeting the powerful Iran before the final. This is really very exciting news!"

"Now that I think about it, being in the same group as the Iranian team is really a sad and tearful thing!"

"Well, I hope this game will not be slaughtered!"

Scolari's tone was serious, as if he was really afraid of the Iranian team. From his tone, it was completely clear that Iran was almost going to become a championship team.

The reporters stared wide-eyed, and then burst into laughter. Scolari's irony is really fresh and refined!

In Scolari's mouth, Iran's strength is so powerful that Portugal is about to tremble!
Didn't you say that Iran is strong, then I will follow your meaning!
I don't know who will be embarrassing at that time!

Quaresma couldn't help laughing. Scolari is really ironic. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. If it were him, he would have done it with real swords and guns, but he couldn't say such ironic words.

Ivankovic next to him turned black, how could he not be able to tell that Scolari was mocking them!

No matter how big his face is, he dare not say that Iran has such a strong strength!
Looking at Scolari who was talking eloquently, Ivankovic wanted to snatch his microphone away, otherwise Scolari would beep!

He also regretted it a bit, why did he say those things before when he had nothing to do, who would have thought that Scolari would be so vengeful, and directly beat him to the point of being speechless!
When it was Quaresma's turn to speak, he couldn't help but smile, and continued following Scolari's words.

"There was a lot of luck in the hat-trick in the first game. Of course I hope to get the World Cup Golden Boot, but in this game against the Iranian team, I am afraid that I may not be able to get a shot in front of the powerful Iranian team. Therefore, I dare not expect to score goals at all!"

"Facing the powerful Iran, I am afraid that Portugal will fall into a complete passive position. At that time, my role on the field will be almost zero. I am afraid that under such a situation, Mr. Scolari may not even let me enter the starting list."

"So, if you want to compete for the Golden Boot, you can only rely on the next game!"

In the uproar, Iranian coach Ivankovic turned green!
