I am Quaresma

? In fact, Figo has no problem playing the attacking midfield. First of all, his skills are enough to guarantee, and as his age increases, his explosiveness decreases, and his attacking ability on the wing also declines. Switching to the middle, with his excellent skills As with the overall situation, it can play a threat.

It's just a pity that everyone thinks that, after all, Figo's most familiar position is actually on the wing.

Fortunately, the appearance of Quaresma and Ronaldo has made Portuguese fans full of expectations. This may become the most terrifying wing combination in world football in the next decade!

This game is also the last appearance of the Portuguese national team before the World Cup. All of them have also attracted much attention. What kind of state they can play will probably directly affect their performance in the World Cup.

Even though the outside world is very concerned, Quaresma didn't care too much at this time, because he knew that this game was just arranged for the Portuguese national team to boost confidence. After all, this is a common practice for many teams before the game. A belly to win a big victory, confidence will follow.

Moreover, Portugal's signing luck is good, and they are assigned to the same group as Mexico, Iran and Angola. Except that Mexico will cause a little trouble for Portugal, whether Iran or Angola, I am afraid they can only make soy sauce and show their faces, that's all.

Because of the arrangement of the World Cup draw, Portugal is the third-tier team. This is not because Portugal is the third-tier team, but is based on geographical distribution to avoid teams other than Europe and teams from the same continent being in the same group. .

Mexico has entered the first tier because of the world ranking. Although Mexico does have strength, it is definitely the weakest team in the first tier, so Portugal has drawn a good sign!

Even if Portugal was unable to enter the state for a long time and entered the field slowly, then after three group matches, why should it be in shape? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for the subsequent games?

So Quaresma is not worried at all!

If Portugal is really slow to heat up and still cannot enter the state after the group stage, then there is nothing to say about being eliminated.

Moreover, Quaresma remembers that Portugal seems to have entered the semi-finals of this World Cup!

Therefore, the waves of the previous game do not matter at all.

Luxembourg's opponent Portugal is already very familiar. After all, they were in the same group as Portugal in the previous qualifiers, and although Luxembourg is a typical European belly, it has made appearances in international friendly matches and warm-up matches. The low strength is the existence that many strong teams like to use to find confidence. If Luxembourg charges to play games, then the money will be comparable to their government revenue!

so,

Facing old opponents, Portugal is not polite. Isn't Luxembourg just used to find confidence, where should we consider the feelings of the opponent, it is more realistic to score a few more goals quickly.

So, before the first half was over, Luxembourg was beaten by a wolf-like Portugal.

Quaresma scored twice, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo both scored goals, and even Pauleta, who was not very efficient in scoring for the national team, also scored goals, as if to remind him that he is the Portuguese national team. Just like a center forward.

The opponent has almost no resistance, and Portugal's attack has been hovering near the opponent's penalty area.

It has absolutely no tactical value!

After all, it is the World Cup. Even Angola and Iran with limited strength cannot be beaten like this by Portugal. Therefore, this game has no effect other than to build confidence for the players and make a good omen for the World Cup!

So not long after the start of the second half, Scolari replaced the main lineup and asked other players to look for confidence.

In the end, Portugal won a big victory, which left the fans with the impression of being in excellent condition. Some media also began to analyze the possibility of Portugal winning the championship, and the public opinion was hot.

Although the World Cup teams were all playing the final warm-up match at this time, none of them ravaged their opponents like Portugal. The team aiming to win the championship is on the side, and at the same time, it is also adjusting the ranking of Portugal's opponents in their hearts.

Now, among the World Cup winning odds given by major bookmakers, the defending champion Brazil ranks first, with an odds of 3.80, far ahead, and the host German team can only rank second, with an odds of 8.00, while the old-fashioned strong team Italy 3rd at 9.00 odds.

The European Championship runner-up Portugal has not yet been able to enter the eyes of the fans, ranking 9th with only 21.00 winning odds, ahead of them are England, Argentina, France, the Netherlands and Spain.

Obviously, everyone is not too optimistic about Portugal. After all, compared with those traditional European giants, Portuguese football has risen too late.

Moreover, Portugal's golden generation has entered the curtain call period. It is generally believed that the 2004 European Championship is the last madness of the golden generation. Now, most of the stars in the main lineup are veterans of the golden generation, and it is really difficult to guarantee the competitive state.

However, in Quaresma's view, this does not seem to be a big problem. Who said that a veteran can't be ambitious?

Besides, Portugal is not the oldest team on average in this World Cup, not even in the top five.

The average age of the Czech Republic, France, Brazil, and even Italy, which won the championship in the previous life, is older than that of Portugal. With these old guys around, is Portugal still old?

Even, Quaresma feels that now is the best chance for Portugal to launch an impact on the World Cup, because Portugal will have no golden generation behind.

The veterans are getting stronger and stronger, and the new generation of himself and Ronaldo is gradually moving towards the stage. Portugal is now undoubtedly the best Portugal.

If they cannot win the championship, the golden generation who are destined to fade out of the national team after the World Cup will definitely leave a lifetime of regrets.

Therefore, not only for myself, but also for the veterans of the golden generation, the World Cup must also be won!

My junior, send them a most decent farewell!

......

Flying to Germany, the atmosphere of the World Cup is already very strong. Although the Portuguese station is only a local town, the local people are still restless for the World Cup. This sport that affects the whole world brings people, not only Just a game as simple as that.

During the week in Marinefield, the Portuguese team focused on rehearsing offensive routines, mainly allowing Figo to form a tacit understanding with his teammates in the attacking midfield position. Figo’s performance in this position definitely plays a role in how far the team can go. Crucial role.

And Figo obviously knows this, so he is more serious in training. As the captain of the Portuguese national team, he can't fail to fight.

On the 10th, after breakfast, the Portuguese national team took the bus to Cologne, where their first game will be held.

In fact, the atmosphere in the Portuguese national team is very relaxed, regardless of the majority of veterans, but professional players are like this.

Sitting by the window, Quaresma watched the German fans on the side of the road beckoning to the bus, and couldn't help but laugh a little. If the German fans knew that Portugal might become the opponent of the German team, would they still welcome the Portuguese national team so much?

I am afraid that it is possible to overturn the Portuguese national team bus at this time. The combat effectiveness of the Germans is not covered!

But just when Quaresma was thinking about it, the bus suddenly braked suddenly, and Quaresma almost hit the back of the seat in front of him.

Depend on!

Not really attacked, right?

In an instant, Quaresma panicked!

Although it seems that there has been no terrorist attack on players in the past life, it is difficult to guarantee that his arrival will change some reality. What if someone really intends to take advantage of the World Cup to do something?

The first reaction is to unfasten the seat belt, pick up the safety hammer sandwiched between the window, and smash it directly at the special point on the car glass.

Quaresma took his life very hard.

In case there is no chance to cross again this time, wouldn't I be a fart?

In the past life, I saw a lot of news about bus tragedies. Many tragedies were caused by the fact that the bus was not equipped with a safety hammer. At the same time, he also learned a lot of escape knowledge. means of escape, so Quaresma did it without hesitation.

Ping!

Whoa!

While everyone was stunned, the glass of the car shattered and a piece fell off, and Quaresma stood on the seat, kicked over and shattered all the glass, and was ready to greet his teammates and jump out of the car!

The teammates were all stunned, and had no idea why Quaresma seemed to suddenly go crazy.

Did you smash the car?

The brains of the professional players, which were not very developed, were completely short-circuited at this moment, opening their mouths one by one, looking at Quaresma as if they were mentally ill!

"You're crazy!" Scolari was sitting in the first row, and the old man was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.

"Get down here quickly!" With Scolari's loud shout, Quaresma regained his senses and looked around blankly.

I seem to be doing something stupid!

If you do something stupid and no one notices it, it's okay. The embarrassing thing is that everyone's eyes are on you at this time, and you know how embarrassed you are!

"Yeah!" No way, Quaresma could only find an excuse to avoid embarrassment, "I just dreamed that the bus was attacked!"

All the teammates were shocked by Quaresma's exaggerated performance, especially Deco, who was sitting next to Quaresma just now, who was about to kneel before Quaresma!

Why were you sleeping with your eyes open just now?

Looking at the embarrassment in front of him, Scolari didn't know why, but suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake in bringing Quaresma to Germany. He never knew that Quaresma was actually a lunatic!

At this time, it became clear what happened ahead, because there was a traffic accident on the road ahead, and the road was blocked, so the bus had no way to move on.

Moreover, in the current state, the bus has no way to continue to drive, even the windows were smashed, and a wool was opened!

Simply misfortune!

No way, contact the World Cup Organizing Committee, and sent a bus to pick up the Portuguese team.

And until the arrival of the bus, the road ahead has not been dredged yet, and the work efficiency of the German traffic police is simply frustrating.

In this way, after repeated blows, the Portuguese team arrived in Cologne two hours later than expected. Therefore, even the planned afternoon training session was cancelled!

Because of the focus of the entire world, any bells and whistles will be magnified infinitely, so what happened to the Portuguese bus was also spread at the first time.

If it’s just because of the traffic jam, it’s okay, and it’s fine to criticize the German organization’s work. of.

But the incident of Quaresma smashing the car is a bit interesting, it is simply a fantasy, at least it has never happened in the history of football.

Isn't it because there is a car accident ahead, and it won't explode. You want to escape by smashing the car so crazy?

By the way, is Portugal really here to play the World Cup?

Or, why is Portugal so funny?

It happened just now that two team members brought pirated discs to the training base. Now Quaresma has smashed the bus again. Maybe there will be some trouble tomorrow!

The fans laughed until their stomachs were almost pregnant, and they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"One bus is obviously not enough for Quaresma, hurry up and send two more!"

"How much did Mercedes-Benz give you? You're so crazy that you smashed Mercedes-Benz-made buses to increase the exposure of Mercedes-Benz buses? I, Volkswagen, will give you double!"

"I don't know if the World Cup Organizing Committee will pay compensation to Quaresma, but don't let Quaresma go bankrupt!"

"Other national teams have to be careful, Quaresma may not be able to smash it enough, maybe he will smash your bus at night!"

......

Mercedes-Benz will definitely not let go of such heat, and I am very happy to say that this time has proved the safety of Mercedes-Benz. If it is replaced by a bus of another brand, it will not be able to smash the glass to escape in a critical moment. irresponsible for life.

And no one would have thought that Mercedes-Benz actually increased its sales by means of the car smashing incident, which made Quaresma want to ask them for labor fees!

Is it not physical labor for me to smash the glass of a car?

What's interesting is that the reporters with great abilities have already restored the whole process, and they don't even know where they got the photos. With the background of the bus, and a set of medieval warrior armor for Quaresma, it is like a warrior on the battlefield.

Some fans have found that the image of Quaresma is actually in line with the image of Thor in their hearts. If the small safety hammer is replaced by the hammer of Thor, isn't Quaresma a proper Thor!

Therefore, the fans who are not too serious to watch the fun again collectively called for the American Marvel to adapt the Thor comics as soon as possible, put Thor on the big screen, and find Quaresma as the male lead. Except for Quaresma, they do not recognize him. other people!

In the end, things got too big, and Marvel had to make a statement and would carefully consider everyone's opinions. No matter what else, at least they didn't lose this wave, because Thor's popularity actually came up!

Quaresma was deeply speechless about this. With my height of 1.7 meters, to play Thor?

Getting hammered to death by Thor is almost...

However, now Quaresma can't control so much gossip. Portugal's preparations are at the last minute. Even Scolari didn't criticize him for the car smashing incident, just for fear of affecting Quaresma's state, no matter what. , everything still has to focus on the World Cup.

But at this time, something happened in Portugal!

In the last day of training before the game, the core midfielder Deco and Costinha collided. After a preliminary inspection, although the injury was not serious, it was impossible to play in the first game. Until the second group stage to appear!

This time, it directly disrupted Scolari's tactical arrangement.

You must know that Deco is the absolute core of the Portuguese national team's midfield, and even the operation of the entire team must be based on Deco. His injury is definitely the most fatal blow to Portugal.

Don't look at Deco on the court, he is usually a late bloomer, but his strength is definitely what any team needs and dreams of.

In 2004, Porto won the Champions League with Deco as the core. In 2004, Portugal used Deco as the core of the midfield and won the runner-up in the European Championship. This season, Barcelona also used Deco as the core of the midfield. Into the Champions League final, although everyone generally believes that Ronaldinho has a greater tactical role in Barcelona, ​​but no one can ignore Deco's most useful.

Such an important player was injured the day before the game, and Scolari's mood now seems like a dog!

If it has a bit of fantasy, then it can be explained that this Portugal is absolutely cursed!

The World Cup hasn't started yet, how come it's not going so well?

Fortunately, the opponent Angola in the first game is really not strong. Even without Deco, it is estimated that the opponent will not be able to give Portugal too much trouble, so the fans are still optimistic!

Quaresma is also very optimistic. If even Angola is afraid, Portugal should go home as soon as possible to save the shame of staying here.

Don't say that the opponent is Angola, even if it is Italy, Quaresma dares to show their swords to them, I can't believe that they can't penetrate their reinforced concrete defense!

But it's still a little early to mention Italy, let's make sure that the group is the first to qualify!

Recently, the media has been hyping the "Portugal Derby" for no other reason. The relationship between Angola and Portugal is really complicated.

Before 1975, Portugal had colonized Angola in Africa for nearly five centuries. Even the official language was Portuguese. Although it was independent, it had a unique relationship with Portugal.

Four years ago, Angola had just ended the civil war and was making every effort to develop its economy. However, the foundation was too poor, and the entire country was poor and backward. It was hard to imagine that a team from such a country could actually make it to the World Cup.

However, at this time, I am afraid that no one has realized that Angola can actually counter the suzerainty of Portugal!

Of course, this counterattack does not refer to the World Cup, but the economy later!

After the European debt crisis in the previous life, the Portuguese economy gradually collapsed. At that time, Angola was thriving under the drive of the oil industry, and in turn provided economic assistance to Portugal, which is simply surprising!

In the end, the oil father is still rich!

But no matter how proud the Angolans were afterwards, now, Quaresma has to beat them first, and then the whole start is good!

For mainstream football, teams that rarely appear on the international stage are called "mysterious divisions", but Angola is actually not that mysterious in front of Portugal, because many members of the Angola national team are in Playing for Portuguese League clubs.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to collect intelligence on Angolan players, of course, Quaresma does not know much about these players.

Whoever he is, let's do it first!

It is rare that there is no strong team in the group stage, and Quaresma has made up his mind to score goals!

Klose, the German striker who won the Golden Boot in this World Cup in his previous life, scored five goals in total.

With the weight of Portugal's group opponents, if Quaresma fights hard, he may even be able to lock the golden boot in advance in the group stage!

This is confidence in yourself and confidence in Portugal, not arrogance!

Is it difficult to score twice in two games and score a goal in the remaining game?

The teammates are just fish belly like Angola and Iran, and not teams that are aspiring to win championships like Italy and France.

Quaresma didn't feel the mission impossible at all.

At present, on the Golden Boot odds list started by the bookmaker, Quaresma is ranked fourth with odds of 12.00, the top three are Ronaldo at 8.00, and Adria tied for second at 11.00 Novo and Henry, and behind Quaresma, there are super strikers such as Crespo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Owen.

This odds are quite satisfactory, and being in this position is enough to prove everyone's affirmation of Quaresma's strength. After all, he has overwhelmed long-established shooters such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Crespo!

However, only Quaresma knows how bad the analysts who determine the initial odds are.

Even if they don't think about themselves, they can actually set Ronaldo's odds at 8.00, ranking first, which is simply a naked scam!

Although Ronaldo scored 8 goals in the last World Cup and won the Golden Boot, it was also four years ago. In the four seasons in Real Madrid, Ronaldo's state has been up and down, and he was injured last season. Influence, only 15 goals have been scored in each competition, which is not as much as Quaresma scored in the Champions League.

As for Adriano, he has never been a prolific scorer. Even if he is in a good state, he only scored 13 goals in Inter Milan last season!

Is it because he played so well in the Confederations Cup that he was pulled so high?

Two Brazilian players are at the forefront, and the Brazilian national team is also at the top of the championship odds list. This is clearly the rhythm of the Brazilian myth!

At that time, Brazil will be eliminated, and I don't know how many people will jump from the rooftop!

Well, no matter how much, play your game!

Goal 1: Lead Portugal to the title

Goal 2: Take the World Cup Golden Boot

Quaresma silently set a goal for himself, and he vowed that this time the World Cup, he will surprise the world!
