I am Quaresma

Chapter 498: Lottery and Barcelona

"This year, the World Footballer of the Year winner is Ricardo Quaresma!"

There was thunderous cheers at the awards ceremony, and everyone was applauding for Quaresma. Even his opponents could only pay respect to Quaresma.

After all, in this natural year, Quaresma's performance is undisputed, and no player can pose a threat to his award, even Ballack, who won the World Footballer's Silver Award, when he was at Arsenal, It can only be said that the performance is eye-catching, but more is to serve Quaresma.

Stepping up to the podium and receiving the World Player of the Year trophy from Blatter, Quaresma looked at the trophy carefully. He wanted to see the difference between the one in front of him and the one at home.

However, apparently aside from some engraving, the trophy is not essentially any different.

"I said last year that at this time next year, I will still be standing here. Now, I have done what I said!"

Quaresma had a confident smile on his face. Maybe many people thought that Quaresma's speech was just rhetoric at that time, but Quaresma had absolute confidence.

"In the past year, we have won many honors. We once again stood on the top of Europe. At the same time, we also won the Premier League championship under the watchful eyes of strong enemies. Perhaps I care more about team honors than individual honors! "

"However, on the basis of team honors, I can also get personal honors, so I am naturally happier!"

"Counting this, I will have two World Player of the Year trophies at home, but I hope that I will have more opportunities to stand here in the future!"

"When I retire, I sincerely hope that my room of honor can no longer hold more trophies, that is the real recognition for me!"

"Thanks to the coaches, thanks to the teammates, thanks to all the fans, that's my last words!"

"Also, do you guys expect to see me here at this time next year?"

"If so, then you guys are really boring!"

 …

Amidst the laughter and applause, Quaresma walked off the stage with the trophy in his arms. What happened next has nothing to do with him!

As for public opinion, of course there will be a wave of hype, but the hype that should have been hyped before has almost been hyped, and it is estimated that the turmoil will not last long, and it will not affect too much.

The next day, Quaresma returned to Madrid with the trophy.

There is only less than a week left before Christmas. When this traditional festival is approaching, the whole city of Madrid is already full of festive atmosphere. Every household prepares Christmas trees, and various kinds of Santa Clauses begin to appear in shopping malls and shops. .

But for Quaresma, Christmas is really not a necessary holiday.

On the one hand, he does not think that Christmas is a festival in his bones. On the other hand, he has no winter break in the Premier League in the previous two seasons, and he has no time to go to the festival.

But it is different in La Liga. No matter how intensive the schedule is, the players will be given a rest period of about two weeks. Wonderful.

But before Christmas, Real Madrid needs to go through three things.

The first thing is that Real Madrid should end in the Copa del Rey, and their opponent is the low-level team Alligendi.

The second thing is that the Champions League round of 16 knockout draw will also be held, which determines whether Real Madrid can end the embarrassing nickname of the Champions League 16 Lang, and also determines how far Real Madrid can go in the Champions League.

The third thing is the most important thing. On Christmas Eve, Real Madrid will go away to challenge Barcelona. This is the first round of the La Liga duo this season, and it is also the real Christmas battle.

If the results of these three things are not satisfactory, then I believe that any Real Madrid player will not be able to spend Christmas with peace of mind. Who is still in the mood for such a bad thing!

But if the results of all three things are perfect, it is another concept.

Now, Quaresma likes such a task-driven model, and completes games and important events as tasks. Although there is no such thing as a task in the system, it does not prevent Quaresma from doing so, even if there is no reward. Better than no goal and no pursuit.

Real Madrid completed the first mission very smoothly. This plot mission didn't even require Quaresma to end the game himself. He just watched the cg animation beside him.

Real Madrid's second-tier team directly killed their opponents by chopping melons and vegetables. The score was an exaggerated 7:0. Even though the Copa del Rey was a two-round home and away contest, no one blindly thought that the opponent still had a chance to comeback.

Quaresma didn't even go to the away game, and watched the game directly at home through the live broadcast, and he was almost drowsy!

He really regretted why he wanted to watch this game. At that time, would it be good to have some exercise with Emma?

The second task does not require Quaresma to leave the field in person. After all, the result of the draw is beyond his control anyway.

However, on the day of the draw, Quaresma was invited to Marcelo’s house to watch the live broadcast of the draw. Before and after the live broadcast of the draw, there was a party held by Marcelo, of course, a relatively formal party.

If it weren't for those coquettish young models, Quaresma would really believe his evil.

Well, let it be as long as it comes, anyway, the point is to watch the lottery, not to do something with young models.

"Ricardo, you are so unreasonable!" Robinho sat beside Quaresma with a girl in his arms, and watched as Quaresma rejected a young model who approached him.

It's not that Quaresma doesn't steal, but the problem is that he can't accept young models. If you hug him today, he will hug him tomorrow. What's that?

"As long as you have fun!" Quaresma nodded indifferently, and didn't care about Robinho's teasing.

In England and Porto, Quaresma may have played the role of party organizer, and he always found ways to give his teammates more happiness.

But now, maybe this kind of monotonous party really can't arouse his interest.

Soon, the live broadcast of the lottery began, and the party was temporarily quiet. Everyone naturally knew where the focus was.

"Ricardo, who do you want to meet?" Marcelo asked with a smile as he sat beside Quaresma with the girl in his arms.

Quaresma recalled the qualifying situation of several other groups and did not answer Marcelo immediately.

Real Madrid qualify at the top of Group C, then, in the round of 16, apart from Olympiacos in the same group, the second place in the other seven groups may become Real Madrid's opponents.

Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League, Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, Lyon in the Ligue 1, Roma in the Serie A, Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League, and Celtic in the Soviet Super League. This is the second place in the remaining seven groups.

From the perspective of strength, only Liverpool and Arsenal can pose a threat to Real Madrid. Although other teams are not bad, they are still weaker than others.

In the round of 16, Quaresma certainly wants to meet an opponent that Real Madrid can easily deal with, continue to save his combat power, and wait until the knockout rounds to show his talents.

However, sometimes the facts do not change according to personal will, which is not up to Quaresma to decide.

"As long as you don't touch Arsenal, you can touch anyone!" This is Quaresma's answer.

He doesn't want to touch Arsenal. In the past two seasons, he has led Arsenal to win the Champions League twice. If he leaves Arsenal for the first season, he will kick Arsenal out of the Champions League. Not to mention others, it is his own Emotions are somewhat unacceptable.

Instead of facing his old club that he can't bear to attack, it's better to let Arsenal be eliminated by other teams, and then he can avenge Arsenal himself, killing two birds with one stone.

Don't say that it is impossible for Arsenal to be eliminated by other teams. You must know that Arsenal's current dominance has declined extremely seriously. Not to mention anything else, isn't it the best proof that they were overwhelmed by Sevilla in the Champions League group stage? !

Sevilla was crushed on the ground by Real Madrid in La Liga, but it made Arsenal lose their temper. This shows how bad Arsenal's current situation is.

Anyway, if you don't touch Arsenal, you can touch anyone. Even if it is Liverpool, Quaresma will pay attention to it, but he will definitely not be afraid.

Marcelo seemed to know Quaresma's answer, he couldn't help shrugging, and said with a smile: "I guess you would like to touch Leon!"

Among the seven teams, apart from the indelible bond between Arsenal and Quaresma, it seems that Lyon and Quaresma have some intersections.

Last season, the Lyon coach questioned the fairness of Quaresma's capture of Mr. Double, which set off a wave of public opinion at the time.

But then, Quaresma beat Lyon all over the ground in the Champions League knockout round, and was extremely embarrassed.

Marcelo obviously hasn't forgotten about it.

Quaresma couldn't help chuckling. If you really hit Lyon, it would be pretty good. Although the head coach with a big mouth is gone, it's better to beat the children on cloudy days than to beat the Celtics. Or an opponent like Fenerbahce who has nothing to watch?

"I have to say, the party you held is really boring!" Quaresma pouted and changed the subject.

Marcelo nodded with self-knowledge. Even if he was in La Liga, he had heard of Quaresma's reputation for hosting parties. of the place.

But here comes the problem, Quaresma has completely retired from the arena now, which makes them all itch. They also want to experience Quaresma's party!

While the two were chatting, the lottery had already started, and the two had no interest in talking any further, and both stared at the screen tightly.

Liverpool drew Inter Milan, Arsenal drew AC Milan, and all of a sudden, the two strongest teams in the second place in the group were drawn.

Quaresma also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Arsenal and Real Madrid would draw together.

Even Liverpool has been taken away, so what is left is nothing but chickens and dogs, and Quaresma almost has no desire to know who his opponent is.

I couldn't help but lose interest, and the lottery continued. Finally, the guests in the lottery drew out the ball belonging to Real Madrid, which meant that Real Madrid's opponent in the knockout round had been determined.

Roma from Serie A!

This result caused a burst of inexplicable emotional shouts at the party, and I don't know whether it was excitement or regret.

Quaresma narrowed his eyes slightly. For this opponent, Quaresma really has nothing to worry about.

After Calciopoli, the overall strength of Serie A has declined. Inter Milan dominates Serie A. Milan and Roma compete for second place. Juventus is still recuperating after upgrading. The overall strength has no way to compete with La Liga.

Rome at this time is simply delivering food to Real Madrid.

Even without Quaresma, Real Madrid should not lose to Roma, right?

No, Quaresma suddenly thought, it seems that Real Madrid also seemed to be 16 Lang this season in the previous life, and did not make it to the next round at all. This means that Real Madrid lost to Rome?

It's really a bit dumbfounding, Real Madrid in the previous life was so unbelievable, it's almost speechless.

They are La Liga champions!

He was actually knocked out by a team that could break into the Champions League in front of Serie A!

Who will believe it!

But now that he is here, there is no chance for Rome to say anything.

Not to mention Rome, Quaresma would not give them any chance if they were replaced by any opponent.

The draw is all in, Milan v Arsenal, Barcelona v Celtic, Sevilla v Fenerbahce, Chelsea v Olympiacos, Schalke 04 v Porto, Inter Milan v Liverpool, Manchester United v Lyon, Real Madrid v Against Roma, that was all the draw.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Every time a lottery is drawn, it is generally in this state.

The top teams are fearless, not afraid of who the opponent is at all;

Those who are weaker in strength will have to calculate and calculate, and the probability of passing the level is higher when they meet;

As for those who are destined to play soy sauce, they also look forward to meeting weaker opponents, as there is also a chance of survival!

When the result of the draw caused a new round of public opinion, it seemed that there was nothing about Real Madrid. After all, Rome didn't look like it would pose any threat to Real Madrid.

There are so many dialogues between evenly matched rivals, so let's focus on those matches.

Arsenal played against Milan. They have met in the Champions League knockout round for two consecutive seasons. Arsenal eliminated Milan twice. Arsenal lost Quaresma for the third time against Milan. Will Milan complete their revenge this time?

Inter Milan, which has already formed an actual occupation of Serie A, played against Liverpool. Both teams are extremely eager to capture territory in the Champions League. This is destined to be another battle of dragons and tigers.

The media are extremely busy, predicting the results, sowing discord, looking for conflicts and festivals from the history of the confrontation, always, they must earn some sales in this wave.

But at this time, Quaresma did not put the Champions League in a very important position at all. After all, the knockout round will not start until February, and it is now high-profile and meaningless.

On the contrary, Real Madrid had to devote 100% to the game in front of them. This is what they really want to focus on.

Playing Barcelona is more important than anything else!

Even if you can't win the league championship, as long as you can win Barcelona, ​​then this season can't be regarded as a failed season!

Real Madrid and Barcelona are destined to fight to the end!
