football's most handsome

Apparently, Nani didn't have the consciousness in this regard, and his brain capacity was no longer enough to support him to continue thinking.

He could only feel Juan leading him to a more forward position, and it had to be said that Juan looked very calm at this time, which made Nani even more flustered.

——He also saw the wall-slamming cooperation between Quaresma and Postiga, and he could also see that the situation in front of the goal was already in jeopardy.

If Paulo Ferre and Valente failed to take any substantial measures in the next time, or if Monteiro, who was hit by the wall, failed to return to the defense in time, it would be easy Many problems arise.

For example, the aggressiveness of Quaresma and Postiga should not be underestimated. Similarly, if they get Juan's help at this time, the goal of the Figo team is probably not good. .

So Nani tried his best when intercepting, and even wanted to use his unique trick - "hug Dafa". Of course, Juan would not give him this opportunity. People who have been prepared for a long time are feeling When he was about to pounce, he quickly dodged.

Nani missed nothing, but he still persevered in chasing after him, but he also knew that if he just rushed up like this, he might still be avoided by Juan, so he was always concentrating on finding opportunities.

The captain said that his task is to keep a close eye on Juan and not give him any chance to touch the ball!

Although he used a hilarious method at the beginning, but no matter how you say it was a success at that time, wasn't it?

Now he is going to take advantage of the chaos to repeat his tricks!

However, Juan certainly wouldn't be the one to give him such a chance, so Nani could only stare blankly along the way.

What's worse, Nani seems to have forgotten that the two of them are running into their own restricted area, and it's still a small restricted area...

In fact, at this time, Quaresma had already been stopped by Paul Ferre. He looked at the seniors of the national team and sighed helplessly.

Obviously, Monteiro was seen by them just now, so they are not prepared to give him and Postiga a second chance at all. What should we do at this time?

Quaresma was worried at the moment, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gesture that he was very familiar with in the past.

This gesture was invisible when he was in the national team, but in fact, when he was in Deportivo, he often saw such an iconic gesture. The meaning of this gesture is——

attack!

Are already in front of the goal, but also attack?

Isn't that just a shot?

Quaresma showed a bright smile, and he didn't care who made the gesture-in fact, no matter who is present now, or in La Coruña, anyone who is qualified to make such a gesture There was only one - and now he just stared at the goal in front of him, and then took a deep breath.

Ricardo Pereira suddenly felt that something was wrong.

His teammate with the same name has very serious eyes at this moment. Even if there is Paul Ferre blocking him at this moment, it looks like he can't shoot, but what do you think of Quaresma's expression at this moment? Why doesn't it look like you want to pass the ball.

Instead... it looks like he's about to shoot for real?

Ricardo believed in his intuition, and his intuition helped him make a lot of good saves between lightning and flint. It was also his subconscious body movements that allowed him to react quickly to the flying football.

This time, it was also his quick response that saved him.

Quaresma did choose to shoot in an unexpected situation.

The heavens can learn from it. At that time, he made a fake move. Paul Ferre was deceived by his fake move. He shifted his center of gravity and wanted to chase after him. He just opened his legs a little bit wider.

Quaresma is very good at taking his chances. He scooped up the football almost instantly, and then poked it with his toe and it flew towards the goal.

This kick is completely surprising. No one thought that Quaresma would shoot like this. Even Scolari was surprised for a moment.

You know, although Quaresma is alone, he also has his caution, at least when he is not sure of shooting, he will not choose to shoot!

Paul Ferre twisted his body violently, but his lower half didn't follow suit, so there was a very exaggerated twist of the whole person to look at the goal.

It looked even a little funny, but no one would notice him at this moment.

Everyone's attention was on Ricardo.

Ricardo deserves to be Portugal's No. [-] goalkeeper. Facing such a sudden, angled and even tricky shot, he still made a wonderful save.

The football was going towards the lower right corner of the goal, and Ricardo also rushed over, his reaction speed was very fast.

The football was blocked.

However, I have to say that Quaresma's sudden shot still had some impact on him. Although Ricardo saved the shot hastily, he failed to take follow-up measures. , The football could not be controlled in the hands.

Immediately, the players on both sides became excited.

In the struggle in front of the goal, I don't know who swept the ball away. The players of the Figo team were all relieved, but when they saw who was standing near the foot of the football, all Everyone raised their hearts.

Juan!

Of course, Juan didn't just stand there. There was another person around him, and that was Nani who was being led to run all the time, almost turning into a dog.

Nani felt very wronged.

This person obviously didn't want to touch the ball, so why did he have to work so hard every time he chased him?Moreover, his physical exertion has been so great that he has been wondering for a moment whether he is practicing long-distance running...

But at this time, for the first time, he averted his eyes from Juan.

Because football is right in front of my eyes!

The younger generation in Portugal have a little problem of one kind or another, such as sticking to the ball, such as independence, and for example...it is easy to ignore the surrounding situation when seeing the ball.

That's pretty much the case with Nani right now.

He seems to have forgotten that there is a top midfielder standing around him, and he is not as good as the opponent in terms of ball control, and the same is true for steals.

Does he not know these things?

He knows.

So he also knew that after Figo gave him the task of "watching Juan", he was almost telling him that he would not have the ball for the entire game.

sad?

Not upset.

Because he knew that someone had to stand up.

Juan is the most reassuring teammate when he is a teammate, but he is the most troublesome opponent when he is an opponent.

So as long as there is a way, even a little way, he will do it.

This is his little persistence, and it is also his stubbornness.

He is the only one in the team who is the youngest and has the least experience. In other words, he can cause the least pressure on the opposing group. In this case, why can't he create a little psychological pressure on the opponent in another way?

As long as Juan can be stopped for a while, it will cause some inconvenience to the opposing team. Although he is alone, he can generally distinguish clearly.

As long as he doesn't let the football get to his feet, he can definitely do well.

But now the football flew towards him.

Nani's eyes became sharp in an instant. He stared at the football tightly, waiting for the football to fly in front of him, and went forward to grab it.

If the football reaches his feet, whether it is a breakthrough or advancement, he feels that he can be the most perfect! !

However, he soon realized that he was wrong.

And very wrong.

Because the premise of all this is...he must be able to touch football.

But the actual situation is that he only heard a chuckle from a person next to his ear, and then a gust of cool wind drifted by, and the football disappeared from his sight, replaced by a small yellow vest.

And flowing golden hair.

？ ！！

Nani's eyes widened and his head roared, but he still remembered Figo's warning to him - don't let Juan Diaz touch the football!

But it is obviously difficult to stop him at this time. Seeing that this person is about to rush towards the foothold of the football before him, Nani immediately wants to catch him with a lunge, as long as he can slow down his pace for a while. good!

However, he soon knew that his idea had failed.

When Nani rushed forward regardless, a figure suddenly appeared and hugged him directly. While everyone was stunned, Nani and the man in the yellow vest rolled into a ball, and the two of them were on the ground. After rolling twice, Nani, who was covered in circles, raised his head.

His senior, Fernando Meera, raised his head from his arms and gave him a smirk: "Don't you want to play rugby? I'll accompany you?"

"Then what, senior, this is completely a misunderstanding..." Kid Nani opened his mouth pitifully, wanting to justify or ask for help, but looking at the side of the court, their head coach and referee focused on Juan's side Obviously, they didn't notice the situation here at all.

Meera obviously also noticed his attempt, and smiled: "Don't look, Juan asked me to come, and Coach Scolari has already acquiesced, hasn't he?"

"Uh..." Nani wanted to cry, "I promise I won't do this again, please forgive me?"

"That's not okay," Meera blinked at him, "You had fun chasing Juan just now, didn't you?"

Nani finally knows what it means to be self-inflicted... If he had used a more normal method just now, it might not be the case now, right?

At least Juan wouldn't do that to him!He promises!

However, it was too late to say anything now, Juan ran away without looking back, and there was a vicious Mela in front of him, Nani just wanted to cry, and he was crying loudly.

Juan received the ball very smoothly. The moment he got the ball, he looked back at Figo.

Figo, who was not far away, suddenly felt chills coming from his back. He smiled at Juan, and at the same time, he cursed in his heart: You obviously glared at him at the beginning, didn't you?Why are you still staring at him...

Juan didn't say anything. After controlling the football under his feet, he raised his head and looked at the situation in front of him.

The whole half of Figo's team was tense.

To be honest, they would rather face Deco, or Christie Ronaldo, anyway, no matter what, these two people will not give them a "surprising" long shot, will they?

The world wave that came up at the beginning has already made them a little overwhelmed. If there is another one, they may not have much fighting spirit for this game...

Juan also seems to know everyone's thoughts, he did not choose a long shot-in fact, long shot is obviously not a good choice in the current situation.

There are so many people in front of the gate now, Juan is not mad enough to shoot at people, if a heavy cannon hits his teammate, then there is really nothing to say, Juan himself has no face to stay in the national team .

And with so many people in front of the goal, even Juan didn't have the confidence to accidentally hit his teammates, so after choosing carefully, he decided to play a conservative long pass, and chose a very conservative target.

He passed the football to Deco.

Deco is actually on the right side of the penalty area at this time, he is not very close to the goal, and in his own judgment, he is not actually the first choice.

At that time, Juan actually passed the football to Cristiano, and then Cristiano passed the ball to Costinha. It is the best choice for Costinha, Postiga, and Quaresma to shoot. .

However, after Deco looked up and glanced towards the goal, he immediately understood why the football was passed to him. Similarly, with a light through ball under his feet, the football was watched by the horrified eyes of the Figo team...

Fly directly to the goal! ?

Wait, is he going to shoot directly? !

That Deco? !

But it didn't surprise all of them. Deco's goal was missed, and the Figo team didn't even react when they heard a "bang"!

This time, Ricardo blocked the football!

The players of the Figo team breathed a sigh of relief instantly, but Quaresma, who was standing in front of the goal, glanced at the goal in frustration, and sighed with his waist in his hands: "Ricardo, can you give me some face and let I scored a goal?"

Goalkeeper Ricardo got up from the ground, and couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard his words: "With all due respect, it's not a matter of face, is it?"

"It won't matter if you let me go for a while..." Quaresma muttered a few words, and then made a very apologetic gesture to Deco, but Deco didn't care much, and smiled at him and clapped his hands as encouragement .

Juan smiled, obviously he didn't care much about the goal not being scored, but he still looked back at the edge of the field. Coach Scolari seemed to be also a little surprised, but he quickly showed a surprised expression and pointed at him. He clapped and gave him a thumbs up as he looked over.

Indeed, no one thought of that pass, it was simply unexpected, but after a little reflection afterwards, I found that this pass was really reasonable.

Why do you say that?

It's very simple. At that time, although it was most appropriate to say to Cristiano, and then pass the football to the person in the front after another pass, after all, we must consider the actual situation, right?

At that time, Cristiano was standing next to Valente. In fact, Cristiano had nothing to do with Valente in one-on-one. A defender like Valente is really the nemesis of all technical players in Portugal.

If the ball is passed to Cristiano, even if he can barely pass Valente behind, but there is Paulo Ferre next to him, as well as Miguel Monteiro who has already rushed past, if he is besieged , even Cristiano can't escape.

Maybe after a few years, Cristiano will be much better when he grows up, but for now, Cristiano can only be intercepted obediently.

In contrast, Deco is really relaxed here. He only has one Thiago here, and the defense is not very strict-Thiago is also staring at Cristiano's direction very seriously at this time, so as not to Something went wrong over there.

Everyone thought that Juan would pass the ball to Cristiano, even Cristiano himself thought so, but Juan was so surprising.

He clearly made a high-profile gesture of passing the ball to Cristiano, but in the blink of an eye, he had already sent the ball to Deco, a player who was far away from the goal, and accurately diverted most people's attention. It also created opportunities for the players in front of the goal.

But Ricardo was still brave, he successfully saved the football, otherwise they might really have succeeded!

Scolari sighed a little, he turned his head and asked his teaching assistant: "Did we make a wrong arrangement?"

"What?" The assistant blinked, not knowing why Scolari said that suddenly.

"Shouldn't we give Juan a five midfielder lineup... Or, in fact, we should transfer Juan to another team to play against his tactics?" Scolari analyzed. I found out that Juan may have a bonus effect in the formation he is familiar with. Even if his teammates are not familiar with him, he can still exert great power... and he is still playing on the field by himself. It’s very clear.”

"Doesn't this just prove his understanding of the formation used by his own team?" the assistant coach laughed.

"Yeah, obviously he is very good at such a formation... and he is very good at improving it. After the formation he was in charge of was simplified a little by himself, it is really suitable for the team that was formed at will."

And what's more terrible is that he himself sits in it and revitalizes the direction of the entire formation.

Even if Figo has been keenly aware of the importance of Juan in this formation from the very beginning, and at the same time found a special trouble for Juan, so that he can't miss his hands, but in reality?

Even if Juan is "in trouble", he still has a way to cause them huge troubles, and obviously, he just thought it was fun after that, so he took Nani for a walk, as if he was running around with a cub... …

Scolari sighed and said with a smile: "Figo's thinking is in the right direction. In fact, he has also come up with the most suitable candidate. Isn't there such a saying in the East? Good, medium, and good horses. At that time, let the weakest horse face the strongest horse, so that one-to-one exchange is completely possible."

"But this is not a horse race..." The assistant coach was a little confused, "The situation on the court is much more complicated than a horse race?"

"Yeah, it's much more complicated. Figo's idea at the beginning was correct, but he forgot to consider Juan's influence on the court, and he also forgot to consider the people who can trap Juan on the court. ... very little actually," Scolari replied.

After a pause, he looked towards the middle of the court and whistled again to signal the kick-off.

Serve in the middle circle, Figo's team has the ball.

Putting down the whistle, Scolari continued: "Nani can't trap Juan, and Juan can easily find a way to restrain him, so if Figo has no idea, I will open my mouth and assign someone to guard the Hu Alright."

"Appoint who?" the teaching assistant asked without hope.

Scolari chuckled: "Of course Figo himself."

"...he can guard against Juan?" Why did the assistant feel that he didn't believe it?You must know that although Figo has a little defensive ability, he is a winger after all!

"Of course not." Scolari replied very reasonably.

"...Then you still let him defend?" The assistant opened his mouth wide.

It just so happened that Figo was the one with the ball on the court at this moment. At this moment, he had obviously realized that it was wishful thinking to rely on Nani to defend Juan. Juan didn't even have any interest in Nani. Take him for a walk around the whole field and it will be over.

Thinking of such a scene, the old captain suddenly felt sorry for his little friend... What if it left some psychological shadow on his career in the national team?

The guy who focused on creating the psychological shadow of the child didn't respond, and he easily stood in front of him to intercept him. Figo didn't know where his courage came from, and rushed to Juan on the spot!

he!I want to beat Juan hard!

Apparently, Juan didn't expect Figo to rush up like this. He was stunned for a moment, but soon he reacted and smiled at Figo.

With such a smile, Figo only felt a chill in his heart.

Then, the feet are empty.

At this time, Scolari was answering his assistant's question in a leisurely manner: "What are you talking about? Stop Juan? I never planned to let Figo do such a thing..."

"Then what do you think?" the assistant teacher asked.

Scolari replied: "I just want to fix him..."
