i am quaresma

Chapter 74 Coach, let me play
In the 11th round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto played against Boavista at home.

This opponent is not weak. A few seasons ago, he suddenly emerged and won the Portuguese Super League championship, which should not be underestimated.

Quaresma returned to the training ground the day before the game and basically recovered from the cold. Naturally, he has to come back to participate in training. Even if his physical condition has not recovered to his best, it is better than lying in bed moldy.

Perhaps because of their physique, several other animals recovered faster than Quaresma. They have been training for two days.

"Ricciardo, it's a pity that I can't let you play in this game. After all, your current state needs to be adjusted and your body needs to recover!" Adrian Se deliberately called Quaresma aside after the training , said comfortingly.

"Not even a substitute?" Quaresma asked a little unwillingly.

His playing time in the Portuguese Super League is really not that much. Either he was rotated or he was unable to play for various reasons. If he continues like this, he may not be able to score more than 10 goals in one season.

Adriance thought about it, but he didn't have the heart to refuse Quaresma. After all, he boasted about the group leader, and he also expected Quaresma to perform well.

"In this way, I will put you on the substitute list. If the game can be won early, then I will give you a certain amount of game time to adjust your state!"

After all, adjusting the state through the game is far better than training.

Quaresma left with a smile. Now, if he wants to play, he just needs to expect the team to lock in the victory early!

However, some things will not be satisfactory, at least Quaresma did not expect that Boavista, who was already not at his peak, actually played the best game of the season at the Porto Dragon Stadium, killing Porto. It was inextricably linked, and even shortly after the start of the second half, they took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to take the lead.

Adrianse on the bench is very anxious. Porto's lead in the standings is not obvious. Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are chasing after him. Now every game is very important and cannot be lost.

And Quaresma was even more anxious, saying that he would have a chance to play if he secured the victory early, but now the score is actually behind, what should we do?
The two anxious people walked up and down in front of the bench at the same time, arms crossed, like headless chickens. The point is that the movements of the two are exactly the same.

Coach, let me play!

Adriense frowned, looking at Quaresma who was in the same position as himself, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Why are you imitating me!
But now Adrianse knows that even if Quaresma needs to recover, Porto may still have to rely on Quaresma.

After bowing his head and meditating for a few minutes, Adrian Saifu raised his head again and stared at Quaresma with expectant eyes.

"Go warm up. Although I should tell you to be careful of injuries, in fact, I still hope that you can bring miracles to Porto!"

Adriance's tone was low, but very penetrating, which touched Quaresma's heart.

Yes, when the team is in adversity, it needs a hero to stand up and bring hope to everyone with miracles.

So, are you the hero?
Yes, I will be the hero!

Quaresma nodded heavily, and then ran to warm up. The trust of the head coach made him warm up, which seemed to drive away all the discomfort in his body, making him feel lighter.

After a while, a substitution sign was raised on the sidelines, Delly stepped off, and Quares immediately.

The dragon stadium erupted, and it was as lively as the team scoring a victory. They had been looking forward to Quaresma's appearance for a long time. Now, the man who can bring hope to Porto finally stood on the sidelines.

Everyone was excited, only Delly was not very happy, obviously he knew that the fans' applause and cheers were not for him.

Boundless jealousy abounded, he thought that the person who appeared on the sidelines like a savior was himself, but unfortunately, he was just the one who was replaced.

When Quaresma and Dellei high-fived, although he faintly felt that his teammates were not in the right mood, but the moment he stepped onto the court, he immediately put all this behind him.

Now, nothing matters more than goals!

Quaresma knows that his appearance is actually reluctant and willful, after all, his state has not fully recovered.

But Adrianse trusts himself, the fans and teammates trust him, and the fans believe in himself devoutly, and he has no reason to back down.

Now that I am standing on this field, I must go all out, even if I lose my strength, I must not let them down.

So, run!
Quaresma's eyes suddenly became sharp. Those who are familiar with him know that the usual cynicism is the state Quaresma is most familiar with, but now, Quaresma has become serious.

Boavista stubbornly sniped Porto's offense in the middle. Although Porto has possession of the ball, under the opponent's strict defense, it is not very easy to pass through the midfield, let alone hit the goal. one thing.

Let’s analyze Porto’s midfield configuration. There are two defensive midfielders in the middle, and the ability to insert in the back row is limited. Even if Meireles can be classified as B2B, because of his youth and experience, he can’t play a top midfielder. performance;

Diego on the left is similar to the playing style of the front midfielder, more with the ball to sort out the offense, and lacks the ability to move forward in the midfield;
Without Quaresma, the explosive point, Porto's midfielder is more than stable, but it lacks variety and creativity. This is why Porto's midfielder does not perform well when Quaresma is not on the field.

Although Quaresma's teamwork ability is still not his strong point, his breakthrough on the wing can bring changes to Porto's offense, and it also allows Porto's midfielder to have the ability to move forward, not to mention Quaresma now The in-cut shot is already his signature move, which is the ability to directly help Porto score.

Therefore, as soon as Quaresma played, Porto's offense took on a new look, as if it had changed a team.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Quaresma touched the ball for the first time after he came on the field, and he used a beautiful turn to evade the Boavista player marking him behind him, which attracted cheers from the Porto fans in the stands .

Although the subsequent breakthrough was destroyed by the opponent's tackle, Quaresma's fierce kick made the opponent deeply afraid, and he had to strengthen the defense on the left side to prevent Quaresma's breakthrough from destroying the opponent. their overall defense.
