The schedule is advantageous, the away team comes first and then the home, so Arsenal came to the away stadium in advance to prepare.

Quaresma has no feeling for Lyon, or rather, for the entire French league, and in terms of league competitiveness, perhaps the current French league is not as good as the Portuguese Premier League or even the Russian Premier League.

If you weren't a total gambler, I'm afraid few people could name too many Ligue 1 clubs, which is completely different from the Premier League Serie A.

However, Lyon is outstanding in Ligue 1, although the background is not enough, they can win consecutive championships and dominate Ligue 1, and their status is almost the same as Bayern in the Bundesliga.

The most important thing is that Quaresma is very disgusted with Lyon coach Houllier, this big-mouthed guy is always so annoying.

In this world or in this society, there are always things that make you baffled, as if Quaresma didn't know why Houllier was unhappy with him, and why he made public statements to belittle him.

Quaresmarc has always remembered this!

When it comes to choosing the double Footballer of the Year, even if the real celebrities want to support Henry and Zidane, they will not use this to disparage Quaresma, after all, Quaresma's performance is obvious to all.

I don't know what Hollier's considerations, while supporting the French compatriots, he actually stepped on Quaresma's position, which is really unacceptable.

At that time, Quaresma expressed his desire to meet Lyon in the Champions League, and he will definitely let Houllier see if he is worthy of the double footballer of the year.

But who would have thought that Quaresma would actually say that Arsenal really met Lyon in the Champions League.

I'm afraid Hollier won't be able to laugh now!

How to say that Houllier is a world-famous coach, it is impossible not to have even the most basic judgment, if you don't consider personal inclination, how can he not know the strength of Quaresma?

Anyway, Quaresma is very happy now, and has the opportunity to teach those noisy people a lesson, and slap them in the face like crazy, and it is estimated that they will not have the face to open their mouths again in the future.

It's just that Quaresma didn't expect that Houllier was still very hard-mouthed until this time, and in an interview, he swore that Lyon could eliminate Arsenal, and the Lyon players would definitely be able to block Quaresma and not give Quaresma a chance to score.

"Arsene Wenger is French, and Arsenal's style of play is actually derived from French football, which is similar to Lyon to a certain extent!"

"Lyon's squad is no worse than Arsenal's, the two teams are fully capable of fighting, and I've coached at Liverpool and I know Arsene Wenger very well, so we're going to get a good result at our home stadium!"

"As for Quaresma, my players will arrange him well, and I'm sure my players will be able to do that!"

......

These words made the Lyon fans and even the Ligue 1 fans very excited and encouraged, as if they had really done this.

In fact, Houllier's words are not wrong to a certain extent, Arsenal and Lyon's style is similar, Houllier and Wenger's coaching philosophy also has something in common, Lyon is like Arsenal who are one size younger.

However, to say that Lyon's configuration does not seem to be much worse than Arsenal.

At the top of the front line is the Brazilian center Fred, who was later the main center of the Brazilian national team;

On the left and right are Govu and Malouda, who are also close to the top players;

Led by Juninho, a midfield artist, and supported by Diarra and Quaresma's team-mates in the national team, Thiago, if not the best in Europe, can compete with any team;

At the back, Squealaki and Abidal lead the way, while Revier and Chris are also first-class players;

There is also an excellent goalkeeper in front of the goal, Kupe;

Don't forget, there are still Wiltord, Karim Benzema and Barosh on the bench waiting to play at any time, and if you don't consider a superstar of Quaresma's level, I'm afraid Arsenal may not be much better than Lyon.

Maybe that's where Holier's confidence lies!

Speaking of which, Quaresma also admires Lyon, although the nickname of the European black shop is still not famous, but every season, the income from selling players can still make the club live a good life, and it is not easy for Lyon to accumulate a squad that dominates Ligue 1.

However, this set of lineup will never make Quaresma have any concerns, after all, in the Premier League, even Chelsea, which has a squad several times more luxurious than Lyon, has not been beaten by Quaresma without temper?

Quaresma didn't know how many goals he could score in this game, but what he did know was that he wasn't going to make Lyon feel better.

......

The absence of an off-the-tackle on the road has made Quaresma feel comforted, as not every team is outrageously low.

At the pre-match press conference, Quaresma sat bored next to Arsene Wenger, watching Houllier's confident performance, already bored to the point of drowsiness.

"We're going to win!"

That was the last thing Quaresma heard, and if he was pardoned, let this boring press conference end.

"I'm going to show everyone how we completely banned Quaresma, the double footballer!" When Houllier said this, he actually looked at Quaresma defiantly.

The reporters also turned their attention to Quaresma's face, wanting to see how Quaresma would fight back in the face of provocation, he was not a man who liked to tolerate and calm things down.

Quaresma sighed, but couldn't help but pick up the microphone, "Actually, you've successfully blocked me, what do you think I'm trapped in now?" ”

"Your tactics are really powerful, and they can be regarded as a different way, and now it seems that they have succeeded!"

"But you can't win a game with a good mouth, what do you say?"

With that, Quaresma put down the microphone, and he was really not in the mood to fight with Houllier, because he felt that Houllier was not worth his fight.

What if you spray Houllier?

It's better to fill them with a few more on the court!

Moreover, there are so many ways to clean up Houllier, it's up to Quaresma to think about it or not.

I'm afraid that Quaresma will act too crazy and directly beat Houllier to a heart attack, more or less, Quaresma will still feel guilty.

It's just that Quaresma didn't expect that Leon was really well prepared.

At the beginning of the game, taking advantage of the home field, Lyon attacked fiercely, taking advantage of Arsenal's unstable foothold, and actually broke through Arsenal's goal, and it was twice.

Fred received Abidal's cross, shook his head before Campbell, and made a force from close range, so that Lehmann did not have a good solution;

A few minutes later, Juninho took another free-kick in front of the goal and blasted straight into the Arsenal goal.

In just a few minutes, Arsenal was left behind by two goals, which no one has really done this season, and even the teams that have led Arsenal by two goals are only a handful.

Not to mention his teammates, even Quaresma himself was a little confused, not because he was stunned, but he was a little surprised, how could Lyon's attack be so smooth and efficient?

If there is any threat to Lyon's attack, there is really no such thing.

But they just took two chances and knocked on Arsenal's goal, and their luck was simply against the sky.

Needless to say, while the Lyon players were celebrating passionately, Houllier was already on the sidelines flying.

In fact, even he didn't expect that he would make such a perfect start, which is simply unimaginable.

Lyon's home fans cheered as if they had seen the scene when they knocked out the defending champions to reach the last four, and everything was like a dream.

Can't help but shake his head, Quaresma knows that he can't go on like this!

The score must be equalized as soon as possible, otherwise even Arsenal, which already has the temperament of a king, is in danger of collapsing, and if Lyon scores another goal, I am afraid that even if he can't take it.

"Cheer up!" Quaresma clapped his palms and shouted, "Let's get one!" ”

Thierry Henry was absent and the captain's armband was on Gilberto Silva's arm, but the Brazilian defender, despite his defensive toughness, was also a stuffy gourd, and it was difficult to motivate his team-mates like Patrick Vieira.

Of course, even if Henry is there, Henry is not that material.

In this regard, Quaresma is a little better than all of them, and although he has been cynical many times, he is the only one who can rely on him when it matters most.

Not to mention anything else, just when facing Reading, Quaresma alone crippled three Reading, I'm afraid that Vieira will come back, and Vieira may not be able to do it.

Therefore, Quaresma is now conquering his teammates not only because of his skills, but also because of his leadership qualities.

Don't say anything, you silently lead your teammates with practical actions alone, and the result of this is likely to be that you are led astray by a group of lost teammates, and you can't kick it yourself.

So, Quaresma not only has to be a player who can kick, but also a person who can shout.

The team-mates looked over and saw that Quaresma looked like he was about to fight back, but he recovered from the shock of conceding back-to-back goals, in fact, all they might need was a thrill, as long as they came out, nothing happened.

The game has just begun, hasn't it?

"Yes, let's talk about the first one!"

"We're going to win!"

"Bloodbathed Lyon!"

......

The teammates raised their arms and shouted, the fighting spirit was full again, and the temperament of the king reappeared on everyone.

With his fists clenched, Quaresma once again set his sights on Lyon's goal, which was his target when the game was back on track.

Arsenal are back, Quaresma is back!

When Arsenal kicked off and restarted the game, the game was firmly under Arsenal's feet, and it seemed that the two goals just conceded were just to entertain the Lyon fans.

Give the opponent hope, kill that hope with your own hands, and replace it with despair, perhaps, this is the most evil taste!

Arsenal may not have that in mind, but they can certainly make it happen.

With the assistance of Ballack and Gilberto Silva, Xiaofa directly gained the upper hand in the face of the Lyon midfield led by Juninho, and pushed the positional war zone to the Lyon half step by step, and the situation of two goals behind made everyone hold their breath in their hearts.

It's nothing to concede, it's not the end of the world, they just have to get it back!

Ljungberg also showed the best form on the right side, and in the case of weak control of the midfield side of Lyon's 433 tactical system, he directly turned on the blast mode on the right side, and the Swedish fast horse has not played so freely for a long time!

On the contrary, at this time, Quaresma seemed to be a little silent, as if he was hiding himself, because he knew that when every teammate gave his best, there was no need for him to take over the game in a high-profile manner, he just needed to be a finisher hidden in the shadows.

That's the way it is, Quaresma hasn't done anything on the flanks yet, his teammates have already suppressed Lyon a little breathlessly, and they don't need to do too much on the flanks themselves, it's better to take advantage of the opponent's neglect of him, pull out a knife and stab the opponent from behind, that is really deadly.

In the space of five minutes, Arsenal threatened Lyon with three strikes, almost breaking the home goal, and Lyon goalkeeper Kupe became the busiest man on the pitch for a while.

Once the goal will be in focus, it will obviously not be a good thing, but Lyon is already struggling in the face of Arsenal's strong attack.

Even though the Lyon fans kept shouting and cheering for the team, they couldn't help the team keep the goal.

It was Quaresma who scored the goal!

In the 20th minute of the first half, Adebayor received a cross from Ljungberg on the right, and although he was not able to make a direct head-to-head attack under the defense of Squeerage, he still completed a beautiful ferry and returned the ball to Xiaofa at the edge of the penalty area.

Xiaofa made a direct volley in the face of the incoming ball, but after deceiving the defender, he suddenly drove the ball into the penalty area.

Maybe it's because Xiaofa stops the ball a little big, but Xiaofa is standing on the same line with the defenders who came over to make up the defense, and Xiaofa, who does not have an advantage in speed and strength, was quickly stuck by the opponent and lost control of the ball, and at the same time, because the center of gravity was unstable, Xiaofa also fell to the ground.

After the physical confrontation, he fell in the penalty area, Xiaofa habitually raised his hand to take the ball, and Ballack, who was not far from Xiaofa, also reacted in the same way.

The Lyon players reacted violently, trying to rush to the referee to explain that it was not a penalty and that they had not committed a foul.

However, at this time, no one noticed that the ball had not yet rolled out of the bottom line, and they were all just concerned about putting pressure on the referee, completely forgetting that the game had not been suspended!

And at this critical juncture, there was a figure chasing the ball like a bolt of lightning, intercepting the ball between the lightning and the fire, twisting his body in a high-speed sprint, and pumping it the ball, completing a close-range shot at a small angle.

Even Lyon goalkeeper Cooper couldn't make a more effective save, and even though he stretched out his hand, he could only watch the ball graze the post and fly into the goal.
