i am quaresma

Chapter 371 Three Meows
"England's starting lineup has no reservations. Rooney starts with a single arrow, Gerrard and Lampard start with a central midfielder at the same time, and Hargreaves has a single midfielder. This midfield configuration has both depth and breadth."

"The Portuguese team was suspended because of Deco. Scolari simply formed a 433 formation. The three defensive midfielders lined up in the midfield. The intention to fight back is very obvious."

When the commentators were explaining the starting lineups of the two sides in this game, the atmosphere on the court had gradually become intense. With the whistle of the referee, the quarter-finals, which has attracted much attention, officially kicked off.

Quaresma has entered a fighting state, and from the first minute, he has been fully fired.

No one would have thought that Quaresma would be so excited in this game. He gave England a head-on blow the first time he took the ball. If it weren't for a little bit of bad luck, Robinson would have picked the ball out of the goal.

After the kick-off, he spread his hooves and England rushed halfway. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Joe Cole was stuck, and he turned around and stopped Joe Cole behind him. After a few big strides, he was about to rush to the England position. area.

Ashley Cole came up tremblingly. In Arsenal's training, Quaresmar abused him a lot. Looking at Quaresma rushing towards him, he couldn't help recalling that he had been praised Fear governed by the various ravages of Rethma.

And Quaresma didn't show mercy just because Ashley Cole was a club teammate. If everyone he knew had to show mercy, how could he be so fraternal?

Pulling the ball in with his right foot, Quaresma didn't shake too much. Ashley Cole is familiar with Quaresma's breakthrough mode, and fancy dribbles are generally of little use.

Ashley Cole followed Quaresma's footsteps, and also walked in the middle, hoping to block Quaresma. I broke through the space, and did not give Quaresma a chance to further threaten the England goal, and then let Quaresma go in. Go, the destructive power will be too great.

But at this moment, Quaresma suddenly knocked the ball with the heel of his left foot, knocked the ball back to the right side of his body, led the ball with his right foot, and with full explosive force, he directly killed Ashley Cole from the left side, throwing the ball to the right side of his body. The England left-back had a clean slate!

Ashley Cole looked at Quaresma, who had gone away after being overwhelmed by his hands, and felt depressed. This scene was so similar to the Arsenal training ground, and he was so shaken that he didn't want it!

At this time, Quaresma cut in again with the ball, kicked directly on the outer instep at the corner of the penalty area, and rubbed a large arc on the outer instep!
The shot like a machete chilled everyone, especially the England fans in the stands, who were so nervous that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats!
Fortunately, Quaresma's shot went slightly wide of the post and missed the goal, finally freeing the England fans who were so scared that they almost lost their breath.

Quaresma is also very sorry, the whole process from dribbling to shooting was done in one go, smooth to the extreme, but the shooting technique is not very good. If you can score a goal in the opening minute, then England's mentality will collapse directly!

Those proud England fans no longer dared to underestimate Portugal at this time. They really realized that the opponent in front of them might not be a team that would be intimidated by the Three Lions, but a real jackal.

Rubbing his hands regretfully, Quaresma changed hands and walked back with an expression of no nostalgia.

After the almost ugly game with the Netherlands, Quaresma has matured a lot.

Whatever the focus of the game, whatever the inconsistencies of the game, he doesn't care.

He just wants to score goals, he just wants to lead Portugal to win the game, it's that simple!
The missed shot just now is regarded as a greeting to England-are you ready?

If you haven't, then sorry, you might be blown away!
Quaresma's sharp appearance makes his teammates feel very reliable. Such a Quaresma is the Quaresma who can bring them victory.

The game was ignited by Quaresma from the first minute. There was no temptation, no step-by-step progress, and some just entered the white-hot stage directly after the bayonet saw red.

I have to say that Scolari is still very flexible in employing personnel. After staying in the Portuguese national team for a long time, he is more comfortable in changing the lineup and formation!

Just like in today's game, Scolari did not line up with an orthodox striker. In front of the three defensive midfielders, there are three Portuguese wingers. Quaresma is on the right, Ronaldo is on the left, and Figo is on the left. As a false center role.

Just play fast break!

The central midfielder was arranged to guard against death. After the steal was completed, the three wingers slammed into the England goal like a trident. Can the Three Lions stop it?
Instead of playing positional warfare step by step, it is better to play something more straightforward!
Facts have proved that Scolari's style of play is very deadly, even if Figo is not used to playing a false center, but the power of the trident really deters England, so that they dare not attack at will. I am afraid that Portugal will poke a few big holes in the backcourt first.

In the 5th minute, Gerrard's long-range shot was saved by Ricardo, Portugal launched a fast break, Miguel made a long pass from the left, Ronaldo kept the ball and directly passed it to Figo, Figo sent a through ball to Quaresma , Quaresma stepped down and hit the middle. The continuous pass between the three made England's defense helpless. If Ronaldo's shovel shot was not half a beat slow in the end, the Three Lions would have been overwhelmed. up.

Two minutes later, Portugal's fast break came back. Maniche successfully intercepted the midfielder and sent the ball directly to the right. Quaresma sprinted with the ball, Figo approached to respond, and Ronaldo outflanked the middle. , All the way to England's goal, if it weren't for Robinson's miraculous save at the end to block Figo's shot with his feet, I'm afraid England would have been crying now!

The extremely fast break, the counterattack so sharp that people can't look directly, dazzled people, and directly beat England into a daze!

Swish, swish, swish at the beginning, one knife after another, three meows straight meow meow!
Most people can't bear Portugal's style of play. It might be okay to switch to Italy. England's messy style of play is really unbearable.

Eriksson couldn't sit still any longer, and ran to the sidelines quickly, waving his hands continuously, signaling England to stabilize.

I didn't play well offensively, and the backcourt was almost smashed into a sieve!
If the defense against Portugal's fast break is not strengthened, maybe even half of the game will be lost, and England will collapse!

In fact, England's offense is very problematic.

Without a playmaker, Lampard and Gerrard are not the people who do this job. It is no problem to let them sprint straight up and down, but it is almost meaningless to let them organize and dispatch.

As for Hargreaves, this is even more so. In the entire England midfield, there is no one who holds the ball!
The offense rushes up in a swarm, without organization and system. Once the offense is blocked, the entire team almost stops functioning. It is not uncommon to be hit on a fast break.

I feel that Portugal's style of play really restrains England. If England does not attack in a swarm, it will be difficult to pose a threat to Portugal's goal.

What's even more frightening is that even if England shifts part of its energy to defense, it still feels unstoppable against Portugal, which has super individual combat capabilities.

Cristiano Ronaldo on the left has flowers at his feet, and continuous breakthroughs are no problem, let alone Quaresma on the right. Both of them can ignore the defense, but there are few support points in the middle, and more often they can only do it by themselves. Cut inside and hit the goal, otherwise England's goal would have been smashed to pieces!

In the first 10 minutes, Portugal played England with no momentum. In fact, there was no way to deal with it.

However, Quaresma is not satisfied. Controlling the situation does not mean victory. If there is no goal, everything is nonsense!
Hurry up and score a goal!

After 10 minutes of ups and downs, the situation on the field gradually became dull. Quaresma occasionally participated in the defense, running towards the Buddhist defensive concept. Just paddle!

In fact, there is a very important point that makes Quaresma have to participate in the defense. If he does not participate in the defense, his own statistics will be too ugly.

After a game, he can run almost 1 meters, and a midfielder with strong running ability can even exceed 2w[-].

But if Quaresma does not participate in the defense, after a game, he only runs while attacking, then it will be in the early 7000 meters. It would be better if there are more long-distance raids, otherwise it may not even reach 7000 meters.

Although it may not be criticized by others, the data is too ugly for Quaresma himself to accept.

Participating in defense is everyone's responsibility!
What a righteous slogan!
Of course, his defense is really a bit funny to Ashley Cole, that is, he is afraid that Quaresma will retaliate, otherwise Ashley Cole must play with Quaresma in all kinds of tricks, the world There are really not many players who defend such scumbags in football.

But today Quaresma seemed to be possessed by the goddess of luck, and he caught another fat rabbit.

Ashley Cole dribbled the ball, and Figo went to press for the first time. The England full-back may have been relatively relaxed in the face of Quaresma before. He didn't get nervous for a while, and was almost intercepted by Figo and barely passed. Figo, it turned out to be a big trip forward.

Quaresma couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the ball getting closer and closer to him, and Ashley Cole who rushed over in a panic with an anxious expression on his face!

One pass operation is as fierce as a tiger, but you are delivering a courier?

Then I will accept your big gift bag with a smile!
As soon as the ball was dunked, Ashley Cole passed the dunk and moved forward. No matter whether the courier uncle is happy or not, the goal is still the most important thing at this time.

Dribbling the ball forward along the sidewalk, the sprint speed reached the limit again. Although Hargreaves tried his best to follow him, Quaresma was not worried at all, because he had too many ways to pass easily. Lose the Bayern midfielder.

Terry knew that Hargreaves couldn't handle Quaresma by himself, so he ran to the side to help defend without hesitation. It would be best if he could kill Quaresma's counterattack on the side.

Seeing this, Quaresma was not too pushy. Terry's attacking ability was excellent, and with Hargreaves' marking, he might not be able to use it in the small space on the side, and he kept observing the opponents in the middle. The situation, Figo and Ronaldo have already outflanked in place, there is really no need for Quaresma to fight his opponent here.

With a feint shot, he yanked the ball back behind him with his right foot. After pulling out the passing space, his right foot suddenly exerted force and passed a half-high ball to the middle. There, it happened that after Figo attracted the England defense, The vacancy found by Ronaldo.

The fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation. This half-high pass was even sharper than the passer's through ball, pointing directly at the weakness of England's defense.

This pass was so unbelievable that the players on the England field were horrified. Even if they wanted to drop the player they were currently marking to intercept, they couldn't do it.

I saw Ronaldo leaning on Gary Neville, who had just rushed over, put on a posture, and directly swung his right foot to hit the volley. The posture was so chic and handsome, and even many female fans couldn't help but scream out.

The moment he volleyed the ball, Ronaldo was full of pride.

Let me score a shocking goal!
However, Ronaldo's wish was very good, but he didn't have the life of Flying Immortal Tianwai. This volley shot was directly shot out of the sky by him.

Where did it come from and where did it go back, it seems that the supreme philosophy of life was evolved by Ronaldo with a volley in the air, so that everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide and couldn't make a sound.

Seeing the ball being volleyed by Ronaldo and getting closer and closer to him, even Quaresma didn't react. He just couldn't figure out how the ball came back!
So that Quaresma didn't have time to unload the ball, watching the ball fly out of the baseline in front of him, the whole person is not good!

Everyone looked at Ronaldo with doubts and amazement. No one can make such a shocking shot!
Cristiano Ronaldo can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in. He really has no face to face people. He doesn't want to recall what happened just now. He only knows that his shot will probably become a fan for a long time. The laughing stock.

A pass from the side, a volley shot and hit back to the side, what exactly is this operation?

Just now England goalkeeper Robinson waited tremblingly for a long time, even mentally prepared to be scored by Ronaldo's world wave, but he didn't expect that what he waited for for a long time was such a ridiculous result.

Why don't you just kick it straight!

This scares me!
Be careful, plop plop!

Ronaldo still resisted the urge to bury himself, and raised his hand to give Quaresma a thumbs up on the right, thanking Quaresma for this wonderful pass.

It's just that Quaresma's incredible expression made Ronaldo even more ashamed.

Quaresma really didn't expect that when Ronaldo was so embarrassed, this was much more interesting than watching Ronaldo's diving highlights in his previous life!
I can't help but want to complain about Ronaldo. This pass is simply a stroke of genius. As long as Ronaldo is more stable, I can get an assist. But now, such an exquisite pass is wasted.

Shameful waste!

If you spit out cakes, you will be spit out!

Can you be a little economical, the pot is so big, do you think it is so easy to bake a big cake?
However, Quaresma can't complain about Ronaldo in person, so just complain secretly.

A counterattack opportunity was wasted, and the retribution came immediately. England's next attack hit the front of the Portuguese penalty area. Lampard's strong shot created a great threat to Ricardo and almost broke the Portuguese goal.

As the game gradually enters the state, the rhythm of the two teams is also accelerating, and the conversion rate of offense and defense has been soaring. Often, England is still on the offensive one second, and Portugal has counterattacked in the next second. In the blink of an eye, England has also completed. There was a change from defense to offense. For a while, it felt like the eyes of the fans couldn't keep up with the rhythm changes on the court.

However, comparatively speaking, Portugal's fast break threat is greater than England's offensive threat. Every time Quaresma or Ronaldo takes the ball, it can cause chaos in England's position, while England's seemingly fiery offense is lacking. In a logical way, more can only rely on the personal ability of the players to create threats.

For Quaresma, the goal is just a matter of course. After passing by the goal several times, he finally didn't waste any more opportunities. With the assist of Ronaldo, he scored his eighth goal in this World Cup goal.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Quaresma moved to the center to rush to defend. Carvalho headed out of the penalty area to clear the siege. Thiago immediately handed the ball to Quaresma after losing the ball.

Quaresma turned around and dribbled the ball and started sprinting, like a charging knight, with an imposing manner, and the dust he brought up even stained the entire court yellow.

The spike flashed past Gerrard, and the speed hardly slowed down. However, facing Hargreaves, who was in a better defensive position, Quaresma was unwilling to waste time, and distributed the ball to Ronaldo on the left. Overtake Hargreaves while pointing his finger forward, signaling Ronaldo to pass the ball back.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not greedy, obviously Quaresma's position was more threatening, so he kept pushing the ball forward, and after hitting the wall coherently, the ball returned to Quaresma's feet.

All the fans watching the game couldn't help becoming tense, breathing carefully, as if they were afraid of missing the exciting scene that might appear in front of them.

In three steps and two steps, Quaresma had dribbled the ball to the front of England's penalty area. Terry, who was stepping back, finally stopped retreating, but resolutely met him. He had to block Quaresma from outside the penalty area.

However, Quaresma will tell him the facts, who said that people can't be stabbed outside the penalty area?

He shot directly with his foot, and the ball behind his foot was like a cannonball, without a trace of rotation, and blasted towards the England goal. Both Terry and Ferdinand were passed by a bolt of lightning, unable to stop it.

Robinson, standing in front of England's goal, has saved several times, but no matter how bravely he plays, he will not violate the laws of physics. Facing Quaresma's shot with extreme power, no matter how fast his reaction is, he will not be able to follow the laws of physics. Out of rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, the ball had already flown into the goal, and Robinson's outstretched hand seemed to be superfluous, powerless.

The ball is in!
