I am Quaresma

He could almost see Luo's growth, and before he knew it, that guy with a strong mentality who would never admit defeat was finally about to grow to his peak.

Quaresma is happy so he doesn't get bored, only the constant presence of challengers spurs him to keep going instead of stopping to enjoy the view!

Although Kaka, Ronaldo, and Messi don't know who will be next, there are always heroes in the world football, each leading the way.

That said, Quaresma is never boring!

The game was still going on, Manchester United's corner kick came out, and there was chaos in the Arsenal penalty area. Saha grabbed this point in the crowd, but the ball was pushed higher. After all, he couldn't ignore the interference of Arsenal's defensive players. Maybe get him a comfortable header?

The next game became much more intense. Manchester United continued to speed up the pace, hoping to break through the Arsenal goal as soon as possible. Ronaldo was also very active on the wing. Gallas alone could not restrain Luo's performance, so he had to seek the support of his teammates. help.

Wenger is also aware of Luo's power. To a certain extent, simply talking about breakthroughs, Luo may not be inferior to Quaresma.

So Wenger immediately asked Ballack to help defend the past, and together with Gallas restricted Ronaldo, as if everyone was trying to defend Quaresma. Ronaldo is also a hot spot that all Manchester United opponents must deal with carefully.

While Luo is majestic on the wing, Quaresma will naturally not let Luo steal all the limelight. He also wants to tell everyone that he is the one who can truly dominate the game.

So, for a while, the two Portuguese launched an attack on the flanks, paralyzing the two different flanks respectively!

Everyone looked at this extremely passionate scene, and they were all deeply moved.

The two strongest teams in the Premier League have already been ruled by the Portuguese. It is no wonder that Portugal can become the world champion!

In the 12th minute, Luo passed Gallas and Xiaofa, who was helping to defend, and dunked the retreating Ballack in a breakthrough. , completed an in-cut shot.

It's just that the process is similar, and the results are similar. Although the shot is powerful and heavy, the angle control is not easy to control. The ball was cleared by Kolo Touré in the penalty area. Although everyone was in a cold sweat, it did not cause any damage. real and substantial threat.

Turning around, Quaresma immediately gave Manchester United a wave of shock. His breakthrough on the left also made Manchester United hard to guard against.

that's it,

In the duel between the two teams on the wing, the game has been played until more than half of the first half. Although the score has not changed again, the intensity of the game has made everyone hooked.

Quaresma needed to take a breath, leaning on his knees to breathe heavily. Although the continuous breakthroughs continued to stimulate his adrenal hormones, they could not violate the laws of the human body.

At this time, he also had to admit that although Wenger was a little forgetful, his identification was still accurate to a certain extent.

Even if the system numbers are here to tell Quaresma that his physical fitness is fine, in fact, the physical fitness of less than 85 is not enough for Quaresma to do whatever he wants throughout the season.

After he went through many rounds of rest, he still couldn't maintain his physical fitness, so he really wanted to know how high the physical fitness of those physical madmen was!

Of course, Luo was similar to Quaresma at this time. The two were panting heavily at each other, but they smiled at each other, very happy.

Well, it's time for the two of them to take a break, and the game also needs to let the teammates play a little bit. After all, this is a team competition, not a stage for individual heroism.

Manchester United's offensive is very strong, but the focus has shifted from Ronaldo's side to Giggs' side.

Speaking of it, the strongest part of Manchester United during the Triple Crown of Class 92 was their midfielder. Any of the four midfielders in the 442 formation is the world's top, capable of attacking and defending, and a powerful horse!

However, with Beckham's departure and Keane's retirement, only Scholes is left alone, and Giggs is often active on the wing. Manchester United's midfielder has no capital to compete with the real giants. If it is not tactics The support of running without the ball in the system may have been blown up long ago.

Look at Manchester United's current midfield. Although Carrick is a late bloomer, he is still useless. Park Ji-sung will probably only run around at the expense of his physical fitness. Even if Ferguson uses Alan Smith as a midfielder, how can he support the Red Devils? Offense and defense?

Just like Arsenal last season, Manchester United this season is actually suffering from a weak midfield.

However, now that Arsenal's problem has been solved, Manchester United is still gritting their teeth and struggling. This is the only difference.

Arsenal made a fuss in the midfield without any haste, small law scheduling, Ballack is all-round, plus Gilberto Silva who is still a defensive deterrent, they can play in full swing against Chelsea's midfield, facing Manchester United, is there any reason not to have an advantage?

Quaresma did not rest all the time, but actively participated in the team's overall suppression. In this regard, his tactical ability has gradually improved, and he has done no worse than other wide players, even if he is not as good as the organization in the future. Known for his side and front waist, but he can definitely handle it.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Quaresma played consecutive triangular cooperation with Xiaofa and Ballack, and the last threatening pass was sent to Henry's feet. If Henry was not prepared enough, I am afraid Arsenal would have already led by two goals. .

Looking at the passive situation of the team on the field, Ferguson was really helpless, but he could only let the team find a way on the side.

Just like Chelsea, Wenger's Arsenal is playing openly with Manchester United.

The bullying is that Manchester United's midfield is not strong enough.

Just like Arsenal last season also suffered from a weak midfield, Manchester United is currently in such a state.

And Arsenal bullied Manchester United more fiercely than Chelsea bullied Manchester United.

The reason is that although Chelsea's midfielders are strong, they are generally of the titan type. Neither Lampard nor Essien are good at organization.

So Kong has suppressing power, but there is no way to repeatedly create threats. The real threat still needs to pass the ball to the wing.

But Arsenal is completely different. With this spiritual player and the versatile Ballack, they can completely end their offense in the middle.

If there is cooperation from the wing, then Arsenal's attack is almost perfect and impeccable.

Anyway, Manchester United is very distressed now, and Ferguson feels that his heart is going to be unbearable again.

Only relying on Ronaldo and Giggs to make a fuss on the wing, the offense is monotonous, and it is easy to be defended. Although flying with two wings sounds good, if the role of the midfield is stripped, it is just a rootless duck!

If Manchester United can fight back, then they can rely on Ronaldo and Rooney's personal ability and small-scale cooperation to threaten Arsenal's position, but the current situation is that Arsenal are leading, and it is Manchester United that needs to attack aggressively. A person who fights back.

Can't help but sigh, if only that stubborn old guy Wenger has been sticking to offensive football!

You said, why did such a stubborn guy change his belief so casually?

What about attacking football?

Since the arrival of Quaresma, Arsenal have fought back more happily than anyone else.

And Wenger has also enjoyed the sweetness of counterattack, and now buyers have to be fast, otherwise, why do you think that little tiger fell into Wenger's eyes?

The world has really changed!

But even if Ferguson lamented, he couldn't solve the passive situation on the field. He could only hope that the players could fight for themselves. At least tactically, Manchester United had nothing to restrain Arsenal except running without the ball!

The game was going on minute by minute, and Arsenal's fast attack threatened Manchester United's goal from time to time. The Arsenal fans in the stands were as excited as a festival. Every attack was a carnival. The feast, and the duel with Manchester United, is the source of the most excitement.

However, although the game was controlled by Arsenal, they failed to score again until the end of the first half. After all, if Manchester United defended with all their strength, it would be impossible for Arsenal to tear the Red Devils' defense line every time they attacked.

Even with Quaresma, facing Gary Neville's defensive experience, Ferdinand's attack, and Carrick's support from time to time, he needs to deal with it carefully, try to ensure the success rate as much as possible, and do not want to be caused by his mistakes The team was beaten back.

A striker who can score goals is a good striker, this is the first major premise to be sure!

But the problem is that some players are double-edged swords on the court. They can bring surprises to the team when attacking, but they are always beaten by opponents frequently on defense. Confused about whether to use this player or not.

Even speaking, Quaresma, who just crossed over, is such a double-edged sword. At that time, his defense was a big colander.

Although his defense has not improved much now, he has carefully hidden his weaknesses. For him, not making trouble for his teammates while defending is his greatest contribution.

And his offense is the sharpest point in Arsenal's offense, which everyone must admit.

Quaresma doesn't want to be a double-edged sword, he wants to be the sharpest knife that can cut his opponent in half with one blow!

When they walked off the pitch, the Arsenal players were very relaxed. Facing Manchester United, they did not play very hard, especially at home. And Rooney, two players with strong impact, can fight back. I am afraid that Manchester United will surrender their guns in the first half!

Who can be unhappy when the old opponent is so temperless?

Just look at the state of the fans in the stands!

On the other hand, the Manchester United players felt powerless in the first half so that they were still in a state of powerlessness when they walked off the court. Not only were they physically exhausted, but they were even more tired mentally.

Quaresma and Luo walked side by side, but the two remained silent. Quaresma wanted to say something, but seeing Luo's appearance, it was obvious that he was not in the mood to talk to him, so he didn't speak.

This is easy to understand. Luo has always been a competitive person, always tireless in his pursuit of victory, just like himself.

Now that the team is in an overall unfavorable situation, he will definitely think about how to change this unfavorable situation, instead of laughing and joking with himself.

Even though Luo is not yet a leader, he has all the qualities of a leader.

However, Quaresma was also indifferent, just looked at Luo and smiled.

Although I think it's cruel to always let Luo lose, isn't that what football is like?

Where there is a loser, there is always a loser.

If Manchester United wins, wouldn't Arsenal lose?

He doesn't want to lose!

So, I can only feel sorry for Luo!

At worst, if Luo always complains about this, how can a young model solve the problem, can't he?

Back in the locker room, Quaresma sat on the bench to rest and eat bananas. Anyway, this thing is provided by the club for free.

If you eat bananas by yourself, it can also give Wenger a signal that you are replenishing your energy and don't need to worry about yourself.

He was really afraid that Wenger would replace himself on a whim in the second half.

It is definitely a pity not to be able to compete with Manchester United to the end.

"I played well in the first half of the game. In the second half, we must firmly implement the tactics of the first half. I believe Manchester United must have no way to deal with it!"

Wenger said to the players with a serious expression, implementing his own tactical thinking.

Quaresma looked at the serious Wenger and felt funny for no reason.

Fortunately, Wenger's amnesia did not attack, and he did not forget that Arsenal are leading now. If he was really so forgetful that he thought Arsenal were behind in the first half, it would be really exciting!

Quaresma listened absently to Wenger's speech, but in fact his thoughts had drifted to the field again, and even deduced the second half of the game.

In fact, Arsenal is indeed restraining Manchester United to a certain extent now. The midfielder has an oppressive advantage in the center, and the wing has its own threat at all times, so that Manchester United can only walk on one leg. The threat is obviously limited.

There may be a chance to create a threat with one leg, but the threat must not be as great as Arsenal.

If Manchester United wants to win, it can only be more direct, just like Chelsea, adopting a more British style of play. Once the ball flies, no matter how strong your configuration is, it is useless and becomes a defender and opponent The striker's 50-50 split.

However, Ruud van Nistelrooy left the team, so Manchester United may not be able to play much threat by playing cross tactics. Although the little fat man has a strong impact, but if he simply competes for the header, he can compete with an experienced defender like Kolo Touré. ?

Saha has Campbell's marking, and I'm afraid it may not be able to make much waves.

Perhaps during the Real Madrid period, Luo also had the ability to make the final decision on headers, but now, Luo's body is still very thin, and his muscle strength is not strong enough to support him in the air. Therefore, headers can be considered, but not overly relied on.

In this way, it seems that even header bombing is not an efficient tactical play.

Compared with Ferguson who must have started his own high-power hair dryer next door, I really don’t know if the Dyson hair dryer that swept the world in the future was invented by the British after getting inspiration from Ferguson!

Quaresma didn't know what kind of tactics Manchester United would adopt in the second half, but he felt that Ferguson would definitely not admit defeat. That was obviously not Ferguson's character.

What is the temperament of the head coach, then the temperament of this team will be. This is the most fundamental law of world football.

Wenger used to be gentle and gentle, so the undefeated Arsenal team is also full of artistic atmosphere;

Ferguson never gives up, and the Red Devils also have a spirit of never giving up;

It's like now, it's impossible for you to see a Manchester United team that concedes defeat, and Manchester United that concede defeat is not the real Red Devils at all.

However, Quaresma still did not expect that Manchester United would do so decisively.

There was no warning, no reason to speak, Manchester United just didn't want to lose.

Vidic, a central defender with strong header dominance, went to the front. Ferguson asked him to stand up. Saha and Rooney also competed for headers in the penalty area. The midfielder had no other role, just to pass the ball To the wing, the two wingers hit the ball over the penalty area.

Use all means to compete for the header, even if the header cannot directly cause a threat, you must create chaos and take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Arsenal naturally hope that everything is more organized, including defense and offense, and the chaotic situation is obviously what they don't want to see. Manchester United just wants Arsenal to feel uncomfortable.

It has to be said that crossing tactics will never become outdated at any time, especially when an opponent who has put his life and death aside adopts crossing tactics, it will not feel better than any team.

Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo kept crossing, and Evra and Gary Neville, two wide players with better crossing skills, also continued to create opportunities to hoist the ball into the Arsenal penalty area.

In Arsenal's penalty area, there was a melee between the players of the two teams. Vidic and Campbell wrestled with each other, Rooney and Kolo Toure refused to give in to each other, and Saha had to let Ballack retreat to the penalty area to mark him specifically. When Manchester United started to adopt this tactic, Arsenal also had to deal with it carefully, because if one is not careful, there may be an abyss behind.

Don't look at Wenger's disdain for the crossing tactic, but he also knows that this is undoubtedly the tactic that can best narrow the gap in strength between the two sides, especially when Manchester United plays as a giant, it is definitely not ordinary fierce.

In the 49th minute of the second half, Vidic made use of a pass to overwhelm Campbell to hit the ball and almost arched the ball into the Arsenal goal;

And then Manchester United took a corner kick, Rooney picked up the ball in the chaotic crowd, but unfortunately his shot was finally blocked by Xiaofa in front of the goal;

And two minutes later, it was Vidic again, who took the advantage in the battle with Campbell, and hit the ball on the top of the post. With that muffled sound, all the Arsenal fans on the stage couldn't help but feel anxious.

Quaresma frowned slightly. Although the situation at Arsenal is tense now, Quaresma is more concerned about Campbell's performance just now.

In the confrontation with Vidic, Campbell hardly took any advantage. Although his black and hard body was not inferior to the strong Vidic, he was completely at a disadvantage in the past.

On second thought, Campbell is actually aged, and for a black player who relies more on his body, this is definitely the tail end of his career.

In fact, it was not obvious last season, but since this season, although Campbell's performance in the central defender's position is fairly stable, he still struggles in the face of strong forwards.

This means that Arsenal's stable performance conceals all weaknesses, but this weakness really exists.

It seems that Wenger is going to start buying a defender!

Senderos has been proven to be useless, and new aid Gallas is 0 years old. If Arsenal can't reinforce the central defender position, then relying on Kolo Toure alone, I am afraid there is no way to support it. Defensive.

Shaking his head and giving a wry smile, Quaresma was very suspicious, why didn't he always unconsciously bring himself into the role of sports director?

Is it because he has the vision of a reborn person, seeing more clearly than anyone else?

Well, let's be a player honestly. Even if he doesn't leave football after retiring, what he wants to do is the head coach, not the sports director.

Let's think about how to deal with Manchester United's madness first!

Now Manchester United's position on the field has changed from Ronaldo to Vidic. A defender who can be used as a center forward is coveted no matter what.

However, do you really take Arsenal's counterattack as a joke?

Quaresma couldn't help rubbing his chin, but there was a rare resentment in his heart.

If a superstar who can always shine on the field is ignored one day, one can imagine what kind of mood he will feel.

Probably now Manchester United have ignored themselves!

At least Carrick is the only one beside me watching him. Although he never leaves his eyes, do you really think you can guard me with your eyes?

Once there is a chance, Quaresma will never mind, let Manchester United re-recognize their existence.

After thinking about it, Quaresma returned to the left side. In this position, Gary Neville and Luo kept kicking crosses. Quaresma felt that if he came out unexpectedly, he might not let them appear. mistake.

Quaresma's rush is very characteristic. Although he is always stalked by a well-prepared opponent, once the opponent makes a small mistake, it may become a fatal crisis, so the opponent is usually cautious—— Forget Quaresma.

But Luo knew very well that Quaresma's role in defense was almost zero. If it weren't for his fast enough speed, he could still make others more or less afraid, I'm afraid it wouldn't be too much to call him a cancer in defense.

So when Quaresma rushed towards him, Luo didn't care too much at all. As long as he didn't make a mistake, how could Quaresma succeed in defending!

The fact is exactly the same. The rushing Quaresma was passed by Luo in place, just like those players who were once underplayed by Quaresma.

Quaresma was not embarrassed either, he knew that he got used to it after being slipped a lot!

However, his rush prevented Luo from passing the ball in the first time, and also gave Arsenal's defensive players a buffer. This is his greatest contribution to defense.

After rushing to grab Ronaldo to no avail, Quaresma rushed towards Gary Neville again, but Gary Neville was obviously not much more cautious than Luo, and did not get entangled with Quaresma. He directly kicked a cross and sent the ball in. Arsenal over the restricted area, let the players from both sides compete.

Quaresma doesn't mind either. His purpose is not to steal directly, but to wait for a specific opportunity.

I circle around Luo and Gary Neville, their teammates must pass the ball to them, if I am not careful, will I have a chance to intercept it in advance?

This can be regarded as a type of defense, but it cannot be regarded as a defensive technique. It can only be said to be defensive awareness. It is not limited by one's own defensive attributes and can be used by oneself.

This is what Quaresma suddenly thought of some time ago, and he has also achieved success in practice-intercepting the opponent's pass in the middle, he is very good at it.

Among other things, even if he stands here motionless, he has to stop at a certain angle!

Not to mention his excellent reflexes and explosive power!

If conditions permit, within a certain range, he can even completely lock Luo up and not give him any chance to touch the ball.

Originally, I wanted to attack with all my strength, and I'm afraid I didn't have time to defend, but now that Arsenal needs their own defense, it's their duty to do so!

So, is he intercepting Luo or Gary Neville?

Although Quaresma is an adult, an adult does not make a choice, but wants both, but Quaresma is not arrogant enough to think that he can lock two people to death by himself.

Then, he can only say sorry to Luo!

Luo saw the smirk in Quaresma's eyes, but he didn't understand what Quaresma meant.

Could this guy be fooled?

He didn't know that the crisis was coming.

Scholes passed the ball to Luo, and Luo was about to catch the ball, but suddenly saw a figure in front of him stabbing diagonally and robbing the ball halfway. When he was surprised and wanted to catch up, he found this The figure has already dribbled the ball towards the Manchester United half.

damn it!

Luo An cursed, because he had seen that it was Quaresma who stole the ball.

At this time, Luo wanted to understand why Quaresma laughed so badly just now!

It turns out that you are not here for pure defense, but to play tricks here!

So you are such a Quaresma!

Luo was indignant, but helpless.

If Scholes passes the ball more carefully and faster, I am afraid that Quaresma will not have the opportunity to intercept it in advance!

But who would have thought that Quaresma, who usually defends like an idiot, would suddenly do this on a whim?

Anyway, now Scholes is as confused as Luo.

And here, after Quaresma completed the interception, he dribbled the ball towards Manchester United's half at high speed.

At this time, because most of Manchester United's players are devoted to the offense, there is not much defensive force in the backcourt. Even Vidic is in the Arsenal penalty area. One can imagine what is left of Manchester United's defense.

Fortunately, Carrick did not follow Quaresma just now. He returned to the midfield position and dragged behind. Behind Carrick, there was Ferdinand. It can be regarded as a single knife.

When Quaresma approached the halfway line, Carrick also pressed forward, and he did not adopt any conventional defensive methods, but went directly to tackle Quaresma.

At this time, is the conventional defensive method still useful?

Carrick plays football with his brain, he naturally knows how badly Quaresma will be caught by Quaresma if he defends Quaresma in a conventional way now!

Therefore, he chose to tackle - even if he couldn't tackle the ball, he still had to tackle someone!

Although he didn't want to hurt people, in times of crisis, even at the cost of fouls, he had to stop Quaresma here.

But at this moment, Quaresma didn't seem to see Carrick at all. He only had the goal of Manchester United in his eyes. Whenever he could sprint with the ball on the field unscrupulously, he would tell himself-no one can stop him!

Carrick's tackle arrived, and Quaresma also reacted instantly. He dribbled the ball forward lightly while dribbling at high speed, avoiding the immediate tackle, and then jumped up slightly. , as graceful as a frightened bird, and her movements are so elegant that it seems to make people intoxicated.

If Carrick has no other follow-up actions, then he slides under Quaresma and becomes Quaresma's shining background board, just like those guys who died at Quaresma's feet.

But at this time, Carrick gritted his teeth, resolutely raised his feet, and went towards Quaresma's legs. The shiny studs on the soles of the shoes under the light were full of chills!

The fans who saw the close-up on the TV couldn't help being furious, shouting and cursing, this is definitely a useless move!

However, Quaresma seems to have met him a long time ago. Even if he jumped up lightly, his excellent jumping ability kept him on the rise. He raised his feet gently, regardless of whether his movements were ugly or not, even if he looked like a frog. Likewise, as long as he can avoid the spikes, he doesn't care.

Crack!

While everyone was holding their breath, Carrick's foot still brought Quaresma, but he didn't shovel Quaresma's ankle, but just shoveled Quaresma's sole.

Carrick slid by, and Quaresma struggled to keep his balance in the air, not letting himself be brought down by Carrick, and Quaresma staggered until he hit the ground.

The referee has put the whistle in his mouth, once Quaresma falls to the ground, he will stop the game and give Carrick a yellow card!

While flashing the studs, he also blocked a threatening attack from Arsenal. The yellow card cannot be escaped at all. If the injury he caused to Quaresma was a little worse, the red card would not be too much.

However, the referee's whistle never blew, because after Quaresma landed, although his footsteps were still staggering, he was still moving forward swiftly like a hunting cheetah, and adjusted within a few steps. Good footsteps.

The Arsenal fans in the stands couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then cheered and jumped up, extremely excited.

They have always believed that Quaresma is unstoppable!

Quaresma always do wonders and never let them down!

Not last time!

Not this time!

Not next time!

Seeing Quaresma's lightning-fast figure, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears, and the excitement burst from the bottom of their hearts, infecting the whole world!

"rush!"

"rush!"

"rush!"

I don't know who yelled first, and then the whole Emirates stadium resounded with such a cry!

And the voices of the fans also converged with the voices in Quaresma's heart, which became the strength for Quaresma to continue to move forward.

"rush!"

Quaresma himself couldn't help roaring, and his speed soared to the extreme.

In front of his eyes, only Manchester United's goal remained!
