I am Quaresma

Chapter 433: Moving On

The chairman's special award, Miss World Football and other awards were presented one after another, but those were obviously not the main event, and everyone only applauded symbolically, but they were all waiting for the most important moment to come.

Finally, after a drowsy opera, FIFA President Sepp Blatter and the award presenter Dutch star Davis walked onto the stage.

Everyone was sitting upright, and the broadcast shots were frequently shown to Quaresma sitting in the front row and the other two stars beside him.

The wonderful short films of the three candidates have already started playing on the big screen, which recorded their wonderful performance in the past year, accompanied by the exciting background music, which actually made these football bigwigs very excited and excited to watch.

After the short video was played, the host walked down the stage and began to interview the guests.

"Who do you think can win the World Footballer's Gold Award?"

After the host finished speaking, the microphone was thrown into Ronaldo's face.

Even though Ronaldo knew that the camera was on him and wanted to maintain a smile and demeanor, he still couldn't help rolling his eyes.

What do I say?

Quaresma must win an award! If he doesn't get an award, it's a shady scene!

But the problem is that Cannavaro is his teammate in Real Madrid, and the two will play together in the future, so he has to support Cannavaro!

Therefore, Ronaldo didn't know what to say for a while!

But the beauty host Atalie didn't want to let Ronaldo go. Maybe she had already been given the task to create a hot spot in this World Footballer of the Year selection. Anyway, she looked like "I just want to make things happen"!

If this was a hotel, then Ronaldo would not mind throwing the stunner in front of him on the bed to teach her a lesson, but now, he can only keep smiling.

"Actually, I think I can win the World Player of the Year award, but unfortunately, I am not on the list of candidates!"

With an idea, Ronaldo said mischievously, and then made a heartbroken look.

This will not offend anyone!

The guests at the scene burst into laughter, and they naturally knew that this was definitely not Ronaldo's arrogance, but just his way of breaking through.

The beautiful host Atali is obviously not reconciled,

So he handed the microphone to Quaresma again.

"Mr. Quaresma, what do you think about Ronaldo's claim that he can win the World Footballer of the Year award?"

Quaresma frowned slightly, the intention of the beauty in front of him was too obvious.

Do you think you can do whatever you want because you are beautiful?

"Actually, I think so too, Ronaldo is my idol!"

Quaresma smiled slightly, and said lightly in front of the camera.

If it was in private, he wouldn't mind joking with Ronaldo at all, making fun of each other, but it's better not to be so high-profile in a grand occasion where the whole world is watching!

The beautiful reporter Atali pursed her lips and bit her teeth lightly, looking unwilling but helpless, these old fritters were really hard to deal with.

There is no way, the process has to continue. If it goes too far, no one will come to the awards ceremony next year, and it will be very lively then!

"The 2006 World Footballer of the Year honor is Quaresma!"

Following Blatter's loud announcement, all the lights on the scene shone on Quaresma. In the shining starlight, Quaresma embraced Zidane and Cannavaro beside him, and walked onto the podium with a smile. That iconic cynical smile also appeared in front of all the fans waiting in front of the TV.

After receiving the World Player of the Year trophy from Davis, Quaresma did not forget to hold the trophy high, leaving enough time for the reporters to take pictures.

"I am very excited to be awarded the supreme honor of World Footballer of the Year!"

"In the past year, my teammates and I won the Big Ears Cup and the Hercules Cup. Each of them is equally good, but it seems that I am luckier!"

"This trophy not only belongs to me, but also to my teammates, and to all those who fought with me, including all the fans who have spared no effort to support us!"

"I hope that next year's award ceremony, I will still stand on the podium. This is a good wish, isn't it?"

"Finally, I wish you all a wonderful night!"

 …

Quaresma didn't say much, and he didn't like such a formulaic speech, so after he finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Zidane and Cannavaro to come to the stage to receive the award together.

When the three superstars took a group photo with the trophies in their hands, the picture was also frozen in the scene of the handover of this era.

This group photo is also considered to be a new beginning for world football!

 …

After the award ceremony, the sports section of the media was full of news about the award ceremony, and Quaresma, who became the double football player as he wished, was naturally once again blown up by the media.

"Football has entered the era of Quaresma! "

"Creating history, Portugal's first double football player of the year is released!" "

"To the top of the world football, Quaresma made a bold statement to win the World Footballer again!" "

"Ronaldo: I think I am the World Footballer! "

 …

The feast of public opinion also followed the excitement. This is a grand event for everyone to participate in, and everyone has found their place in it.

However, Quaresma, who returned to London early the next morning, had to forget the honor he had just added, because Arsenal was about to face a severe test of the devil's schedule!

Although the Champions League knockout round has not yet started, because of the Club World Cup, Arsenal has already postponed two rounds of matches, which means that in the same period of time, Arsenal will play two more games than other opponents.

Coupled with the fact that the FA Cup is about to start, Arsenal is destined to endure a wave of torture.

In the absence of Arsenal in the two rounds, in fact, neither Chelsea nor Manchester United seized the opportunity, and neither was able to take all three points to put pressure on Arsenal.

Chelsea has one win and one draw, Manchester United has one win and one loss, these are the results of the two giants.

As a result, in the standings, even if Arsenal played two rounds less, they are still far ahead of these two competitors.

9 points ahead of Chelsea and 7 points ahead of Manchester United. It seems that this is still an insurmountable gap.

If Arsenal play well in the supplementary match and can win both games, then they will leave Chelsea and Manchester United far behind.

Perhaps, the next wave of games after Christmas can largely determine the ownership of the Premier League champions this season.

For Christmas, Arsenal should not think that it can be easy. Even the traditional party and dinner have been canceled by Wenger. The intense and intensive schedule has diluted the festive atmosphere a lot.

In this regard, the players complained a lot, not the club, of course, but the damned FIFA, which insisted on letting them participate in the tasteless Club World Cup, so that now they can't even have a good Christmas!

On the contrary, Quaresma didn't care at all, because he didn't have the habit of celebrating Christmas at all.

He wanted to celebrate the Spring Festival even more, but London also didn't have the atmosphere of the Spring Festival!

In fact, Quaresma has already thought about it. When the Lunar New Year is over, he will hold a party and invite his teammates to participate, make some dumplings, set off some firecrackers, etc., to relieve his longing for his hometown.

 …

The intensive schedule is coming!

Arsenal also embarked on a journey of honor and launched a charge towards the championship.

On December 23, the day before Christmas, Arsenal played at home against Blackburn.

Resentment turned into combat power, the Arsenal players vented all their resentment on their opponents, beating them to tears!

Quaresma opened the scoring, Henry expanded the score, and Ljungberg sealed the victory. I thought the score was about to be like this. Who would have thought that Adebayor, who came off the bench in the second half, sprinkled salt on Violent Ben's wound and came off the bench The Togolese who scored twice became the best player in the game, but also gave his opponent a disastrous defeat.

On December 26th, Arsenal, who only had a day off, went to the Hornets to challenge Watford away. They still had a lot of resentment for not having a good Christmas. Then Watford got the same end as Blackburn, the only The difference is that they conceded one less goal than Blackburn.

Quaresma did not score a goal, but contributed two assists to his teammates, mainly because he saw that his teammates were too excited, and he was too lazy to compete with his teammates.

On the 29th, Arsenal went to an away game to challenge Sheffield United. In this game, Wenger carried out a considerable rotation. Quaresma and several main players sat on the bench. If Sheffield United were not at home Putting a lot of pressure on Arsenal, I am afraid Wenger will not let Quaresma play in the second half at all.

However, Quaresma, who was ordered in danger, did not disappoint Wenger. The first two touches created a huge threat to the opponent's defense, and he broke through his teammate's goal when he touched the ball for the third time. The winning momentum continued.

At this time, the media once again praised Arsenal's strong dominance and Quaresma's invincible performance. You must know that Arsenal has won 19 games in a row without counting two rounds of absence. The five major leagues are unique and incredible.

The point is that whenever Arsenal encounters difficulties, Quaresma will always step forward and be ordered to save the team in danger, just like a hero who fell from the sky, and will never let victory be absent!

Everyone couldn't help expressing emotion again-Arsenal with Quaresma may really be unstoppable.

However, in such a wave of public opinion, Arsenal's winning streak came to an end, and the disadvantages of the devil's schedule were fully exposed at this moment.

On January 2, they played against Charlton at home. The players who fought consecutively were already exhausted. Even Quaresma felt a little tired at this time. , played extremely fiercely.

The opponent opened the scoring in the first half, and Arsenal responded immediately, but in the second half, the opponent smashed Arsenal's goal with a rough header, and Arsenal fell behind again!

This seems to be the first time this season that Arsenal will still fall behind their opponents in the second half!

With the ball in hand, the opponent completely gave up attacking. All members retreated, and even huddled in the penalty area to block Arsenal's attack. The bus was placed in the penalty area, which made Arsenal very helpless.

At the last moment, it was Quaresma who came down to earth, moved to the middle and received a pass from his teammate and shot through the opponent's goal with a burst, which avoided the tragedy of Arsenal's home defeat.

However, even if the score was equalized at the last moment, Arsenal's winning streak has been broken and stopped at 19 consecutive victories.

Chelsea failed to do it, Manchester United failed to do it, Liverpool and Tottenham even failed to do it, but it was Charlton, who no one would look good at, that successfully stopped Arsenal. It's football.

Public opinion will naturally report on this, which is an unpopular and hottest topic in the first place.

But at this time, there are almost no real troubles. After all, everyone can see that Arsenal is only affected by the devil's schedule. If it is not affected by the Club World Cup, how can Charlton stop an invincible edge? Arsenal?

Even if they were tied, Arsenal still had a dominant position in the Premier League. Chelsea and Manchester United were both overwhelmed by their strong dominance. It was obviously impossible to black Arsenal with such a draw.

The fact is exactly the same. In the next make-up match, Arsenal won Wigan Athletic cleanly and continued to lead the standings strongly!

And three days later, Arsenal did not give Portsmouth any chance. They beat their opponents at home and won the second make-up match.

After the end of this game, Arsenal has completed two make-up games, and at this time, in the 22 games that have ended, they have achieved an incredible 21 victories, with only one draw.

Compared to Arsenal's tyranny, even if Chelsea and Manchester United tried their best, they still couldn't get close to the points, but were thrown further and further away by Arsenal.

If you simply compare the results of Chelsea and Manchester United with previous seasons, then even if they cannot rank at the top of the standings, they are definitely not far behind the top position.

However, the situation is completely different now. Arsenal is like a monster, advancing fiercely, destroying everything that stands in their way.

Even in the season when they were undefeated and won the championship, Arsenal did not have such a dominant performance. If you use the strongest Arsenal in history to describe the current Gunners, I am afraid that everyone will have no objections.

After this wave of matches, Arsenal got a little breathing time. In any case, after the devil's schedule has passed, they will have enough room for adjustment, so that they will not be beaten to death in the next wave.

And next, the FA Cup will also start, which will definitely bring some troubles to Arsenal.

Whether to spend energy in the FA Cup, this is where Wenger has been hesitating.

Arsenal does not have the depth of the bench like Chelsea, and it is not easy to maintain a two-line battle in the Premier League and the Champions League. If you have to spend energy in the FA Cup, it is difficult to say whether the other two important fronts will be affected!

But if the FA Cup is ignored like this again, it seems a bit unreasonable.

Last season, Arsenal gave up the FA Cup without any scruples. This is probably a very important reason why Arsenal can win the Champions League.

However, it is precisely because of this decision that Arsenal has been criticized, and even the FA has criticized Arsenal.

After all, the FA Cup is a very important event in England. Many people even think that only the FA Cup can represent England's football tradition, and even the Premier League can't match it.

The gold content of the FA Cup is definitely far greater than that of the League Cup.

Under such a situation, if Arsenal still insists on giving up the FA Cup, then the wave of public opinion will definitely be very unfavorable to Arsenal.

How to do?

If Wenger is given a luxurious bench like Chelsea, then Wenger will definitely not give up the FA Cup.

But now Arsenal are already stretched in terms of employment, otherwise Wenger would not always let young players rotate, if the main players spend too much energy in the FA Cup, then Arsenal's season results will suffer. It's really hard to guarantee it!

Unlike Wenger's entanglement, Quaresma is very interested in the FA Cup!

This season's Premier League championship is largely owned by Arsenal, that is to say, there will be one more Premier League champion in Quaresma's honor book.

In addition to the League Cup won last season, if they win the FA Cup again, Quaresma, the champion of England's domestic competitions, will also win a Grand Slam!

Of course, the Community Shield is not counted!

Conquering a league requires all-round conquest!

Quaresma feels that it is still very meaningful for him to win an FA Cup with Arsenal.

Moreover, what's more interesting is that Quaresma has not played in the FA Cup in the one and a half seasons since he came to Arsenal, which is quite shocking!

Last season, Arsenal was eliminated just after entering the FA Cup. This season, the FA Cup has just started. Didn't Quaresmar not even play in an FA Cup game?

In case, in case Quaresma leaves Arsenal at the end of this season, but leaves such a regret of not being able to play in the FA Cup, I am afraid that Quaresma will not be happy when he leaves.

Therefore, it is not bad to be able to play in the FA Cup.

Without affecting the overall situation, Quaresma also wants to feel the charm of this traditional event in England.

Don't think that you may encounter some low-level league opponents in the FA Cup and think that they are all fish. You must know that the FA Cup has always been a hotbed of upsets. Low-level league teams broke into the semi-finals of the FA Cup Examples are not uncommon.

In particular, their style of play is often simpler, direct and rough, which makes those top giants feel restrained and unable to exert their strongest strength at all.

But although Quaresma has ideas, the final decision is still in Wenger's hands. He also knows that throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds cannot be done.

However, things are often so unexpected that everyone is so caught off guard.

After the last round of the FA Cup, the next round of draws will be made, which is what happens after every round of elimination.

It's just that no one thought that Arsenal, as the favorite to win the Premier League, actually drew Liverpool in the FA Cup...

This is the fourth round of the FA Cup!

There was a strong dialogue between Arsenal and Liverpool. If there is nothing tricky in it, a fool would believe it!

Although the world should be fair, the problem is that the world is also ruled by human beings, and you cannot make everyone fair and just.

It is estimated that the FA is secretly complacent now, and this arrangement seems to them to be a stroke of genius.

Isn't Arsenal thinking of giving up the FA Cup?

Then we will let you meet a super team and see what you do?

Even if they are not mortal enemies, there must be great grievances and grievances between wealthy families. How can there be no dirty things in the century-old history?

It is okay to let Arsenal give up the game and lose to an unknown team, but if they lose to Liverpool, I am afraid that the Arsenal people are really unwilling.

The most important thing is that even if Arsenal is determined to give up the FA Cup, Liverpool will not show mercy at all.

If you dare to send a second-line lineup, I dare to wash you with blood!

If Arsenal really puts in a second lineup, I'm afraid Liverpool will beat Arsenal out!

Where will the face of the arsenal be put at that time?

Who cares if you play the main force?

All media public opinion is such a headline-"Liverpool slaughtered Arsenal"-who can stand it?

Therefore, Arsenal is now completely overshadowed by the FA.

When he learned the result of the draw, Wenger had a gloomy expression on the training ground, as if there was always a cloud of cumulonimbus floating above his head.

Although the players didn't have much thought about meeting Liverpool, seeing Wenger like this, they also knew that they didn't want to get into trouble!

"You said, how would Liverpool feel now when they met us in the FA Cup?" Henry leaned closer to Quaresma and whispered in Quaresma's ear.

Quaresma turned his head to look at Henry, still smiling cynically.

"I think they will be annoyed now, more than Wenger!"

Henry raised his eyebrows slightly, but then lowered them because he understood what Quaresma meant.

Compared to Arsenal, it is clear that Liverpool attaches more importance to the FA Cup.

Liverpool obviously have no chance to compete for the Premier League title this season. For the Red Army, being able to guarantee a place in the Champions League is their number one goal.

So in addition to the Champions League championship they want to fight for, they who have no way to vent their energy will inevitably work hard in the FA Cup and try their best to compete for the championship.

But they never expected that they would meet Arsenal!

Arsenal's strength is definitely stronger than Liverpool's. Among the Premier League's semi-finals, Liverpool's lineup is obviously the worst, even if the depth of the bench is the same.

The Red Army doesn't know if Arsenal will give up the FA Cup!

If Arsenal chooses to go all out in the FA Cup, then even if Bennister is good at knockout matches in the cup match, there is probably no way to make up for the huge gap in strength between the two teams in a decisive competition system.

You know, in the first round of the match between the two sides this season, Arsenal has already beaten Liverpool without temper!

Therefore, it should be Liverpool who is more troublesome now!
