Chapter 124: It's miserable
With Quaresma's wonderful goal after coming off the bench, Porto won away from Sporting Lisbon, defeating two strong opponents in a row and defending their position as the supremacy of the Portuguese Super League.
Although many reporters wanted to interview Quaresma and ask him what it was like to kill his old master on his own, Quaresma did not attend the press conference at all, nor did he give them any chance.
Some realizations, just stay in your heart, why make everyone know!
After this game, Porto's lead in the standings has been strengthened a bit.
Perhaps because they were beaten by Porto in the last game, Benfica was busy licking their wounds and had not yet found their best form and was forced to draw by their opponents, so the gap between them and Porto has reached 11 points;
Sporting Lisbon, who were directly eliminated by Porto in this round, are even worse than Benfica, and they are 15 points behind Porto.
With six rounds of the league remaining, they may only be left with the theoretical possibility of winning the title.
Actually, it's just not possible!
Quaresma's first league trophy is getting closer.
......
Ahead of the away challenge to Boavista, Quaresma received good news.
He managed to make it to the shortlist for the Portuguese Footballer of the Year in '04, becoming one of the top three candidates.
The Portuguese Footballer of the Year is not the best player in the league, all candidates must be Portuguese, can play in the Portuguese Super League, or overseas, and the selection criteria are the performance of the whole 04 year.
Quaresma didn't expect to be on the final shortlist, and if he added that a player had to play in the Portuguese Super League, then Quaresma was confident of winning the title, but since there were no restrictions, he would probably have to run with him.
There is Porto, who swept across the continent, and the Portuguese national team, which was the runner-up of Euro 04, and it is clear that most of the candidates come from both.
The problem is that Quaresma has nothing to do with either.
Quaresma struggled at Barcelona last year, and Porto's Champions League title had nothing to do with him;
He didn't make it to the final squad for the European Championships, and he didn't even have a share of the European Youth Championships;
What does he use to fight with others?
Therefore, being able to enter the final three-person shortlist is strange to Quaresma.
In the past five or six years, Figo has won this honor by a huge margin, so as the leader of the Portuguese national team this year, it should not be a problem to be on the shortlist;
Cristiano Ronaldo performed well in the European Championships, and his style of play is also very attractive to fans, so it is logical that he was selected;
Deco, as the dual core of Porto and the Portuguese national team, let alone being selected for the list, is the final winner, and there is not much suspense;
That's actually the final three-man list of Quaresma's predictions.
It's just that the result is not like this, he entered the shortlist, but Figo did not come in, this accident is really unimaginable.
I just played a good game in Porto for half a season, and it didn't go against the sky, what did the judges think?
Well, no matter what, I'm sure Big Brother Figo won't care about this, as long as he doesn't make trouble for himself.
Speaking of Figo's temper is not good, once when he played for Sporting Lisbon, Quaresma was still young, and he worked as a ball boy on the sidelines, but he forgot to pick up the ball because he was addicted to Figo's superb skills, so he was reprimanded by Figo.
Later, he joined Barcelona, partly because of Figo's persuasion, as for whether Quaresma's predecessor agreed to join Barcelona for fear of being reprimanded by Figo again, it is unknown.
......
After a week of adjustments, the whole Porto squad rushed to the away stadium to take on Boavista.
The determination to win the opponent was overwhelming, and even without Adrianse's mobilization, the players were getting closer and closer to the championship, and the players showed 12 points of concentration in order to kill the game.
If they win the championship early, they can rest early, so what's there to hesitate about.
Therefore, even if it is really away, Boavista has not been able to stop Porto's progress.
Originally, Boavista is now a team with no ambitions, and there is no danger of relegation if he can't win the championship or European places, and there is no danger of relegation.
In this way, Porto beat Boavista 2-0 away and continued their winning streak.
Quaresma really felt bored, Porto with gradually formed tactics are like a giant in the Portuguese Super League, as long as they are serious, even Benfica and Sporting Lisbon can't resist, let alone those middle and lower teams, and if they don't play a slaughter score, Porto will be merciful.
The Portuguese Super League, in fact, is no longer the battlefield of Porto, after nearly a season of tempering, Quaresma feels that next season's Champions League, there is definitely a place for Porto.
So, for next season, Quaresma is looking forward to it.
......
After playing Boavista, Quaresma returned to Lisbon again to participate in the annual Portuguese football awards ceremony, and after the ceremony, he did not need to go back to Porto, and went directly to the national team to report on the World Cup qualifiers.
Resting in the hotel in the afternoon, I thought I could sleep quietly, but I practiced too late last night, and I didn't sleep well on the plane, which was a good time to make up for sleep, but I didn't expect it to be mixed up.
A knock on the door of "duangduangduang" woke Quaresma up, and his first reaction was a police round.
But Quaresma didn't panic, because he didn't call the special services, and he wasn't afraid of being exposed.
opened the door unhappily, only to find that it was Ronaldo.
"Do you know what happened to the last guy who disturbed my sleep?" Quaresma glared at Ronaldo viciously.
Ronaldo asked nonchalantly: "Could it be that they were all killed by you?" ”
Quaresma suddenly smiled, "No, they've all been taken by me for morning exercise!" It's miserable! Ha ha! ”
Ronaldo rolled his eyes and sat down on the bed.
"No kidding, I'm in a bad mood right now!"
Quaresma saw that Ronaldo really didn't seem to be in a very high mood, so he stopped laughing.
"What's wrong? Don't you think you're happy that Mr. Footballer is out of play? Although Quaresma asked, he knew that Ronaldo was not happy because of this.
Ronaldo sighed, with a look of melancholy and grievance, and said leisurely: "Don't mention it, I broke up with my girlfriend!" ”
