After a difficult but not difficult game, some of Porto's main players were given a chance to recuperate, and Quaresma was naturally included.

In Adrianse's eyes, Quaresma is not a physical maniac, and it is true, the system can give the most accurate feedback, maybe Quaresma can grow a third lung lobe in the future, but at least for now, his fitness level can only be ranked in the middle.

The rotation and rest are not because the next league game is not important, but after the next league game, the Champions League knockout round will start, and at that time, Porto will face a real strong opponent, a strong opponent that makes the whole Porto team very nervous.

However, it is not without good news, the three major backs have returned one after another, and Porto can face strong opponents with an absolute main lineup, even if they can't beat it, they have to fight hard.

What if you win?

Facing Birlanei in the Portuguese Super League at the weekend, Porto, who played half of their main team, did not play the dominant performance of the last Jedi counter-attack, but still won the game, won all three points, and continued to consolidate their dominance in the table.

After the game, Porto finally shifted their attention to the knockout round of the Champions League and faced their opponent in the knockout round - AC Milan.

Quaresma vaguely remembered that Porto's opponent seemed to be Inter Milan, and he didn't know what went wrong, and now he was actually replaced by AC Milan.

This opponent has made the current Quaresma have no temper.

Milan's strength, there is no doubt about it, especially this season.

Although they suffered a reversal in the final of the Champions League in Istanbul and missed the championship, this season's Milan is recognized as the strongest Milan in the squad, even stronger than the Milan team that won the Champions League in the 06-07 season.

In the face of such an absolutely dominant opponent, let alone the immature Porto, even the champion Porto under Mourinho last season may be more than lucky.

It's not that Quaresma is cowardly, it's not that he raises the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, the strength of the two sides is here, and there is no need to compare to be able to see which is stronger and which is weak.

There are absolute superstars, but also a strong whole, and a top coach who crushes Porto in any way, how can Porto not be nervous in the face of such an opponent.

Sometimes, the gap in strength is really not something that can be smoothed out by simply exploding, if there is no strength of Liverpool itself, even if Porto explodes, it is estimated that AC Milan will not be able to help.

Quaresma is very realistic, he will not be arrogant and think that all opponents can only be defeated by his own men, but he will not be arrogant, even if the opponent's strength is indeed stronger than his own, everything will have to be fought again.

This is Quaresma's good mentality, whether you live or die, you must first show your sword!

Quaresma's calm seems to be gradually infecting his teammates, and the faint psychological turmoil before the game has gradually calmed down, and the form shown by Porto will make people can't help but have deep expectations.

Perhaps, we can win!

......

AC Milan met Barcelona in Group F, but they overtook Barcelona to qualify as group winners.

The draw for the Champions League is that among the opponents in the knockout round, the team that wins the group has the advantage of the schedule, and can leave the tiebreaker at their home stadium, while Porto, who qualify as the second in the group, can only endure the unfavorable schedule of home and away.

That said, the first leg of the match between the two sides will be played at the Porto Dragons Stadium, which is a match played at Porto's home stadium.

AC Milan rushed to Porto three days in advance, that is, after the weekend's Serie A match, to prepare for this knockout match in advance, obviously not, they also attach great importance to Porto.

Regardless, Porto are the reigning Champions League champions this season, and even if Milan are strong, they don't dare to take it lightly.

Quaresma did not participate in the pre-match press conference, and I don't know if there was a war of words, anyway, the recent public opinion has been about this game, and all kinds of fancy articles have emerged in endlessly.

There are those who compare the strength of the two sides, some who compare the head coaches, some who compare the players, and even compare the value of the players on both sides.

Quaresma is very dismissive of this, and thinks with his heel that Porto has been crushed by AC Milan in all aspects, what else is there to compare it to?

Interestingly, some media actually linked Quaresma and Kaka, comparing this pair of young stars who have already made their mark in European football.

They are all the same talent and talent, although their dribbling styles are very different, but they are all good counter-attacking players, and they have gradually become the leaders of the team, which is completely comparable.

Quaresma was happy about this, after all, he knew what Kaka had achieved in the future, and although he hadn't made a big splash yet, it wasn't far off.

And he can only be regarded as just emerging in the Portuguese Super League, and there is still a long way to go before he becomes the core of the European giants.

However, this comparison has also proved the huge gap between Porto and AC Milan from the side.

He is Porto's number one star, and Kaka, in AC Milan, is really not an absolute big name.

Looking at this season's Milan lineup, it is so luxurious that it makes Quaresma, a reborn man, have the urge to drool.

On the forward line, there are Ukrainian nuclear warheads and all-round center forward Crespo, and even Inzaghi can only sit on the bench many times;

Midfielders Pirlo and Gattuso, a pair of golden partners, can attack and retreat, and there are Kaka and Seedorf, a pair of attacking forwards, and the strength of the midfield is simply the best in Europe;

As for the back line, it is the strongest link of Milan, Stam and Nesta, two of the world's top central defenders together, no club can compare, the left and right full-backs are Cafu and Maldini, both great full-backs, like a barrier, firmly blocking the way to the Milan goal.

Even if Dida is not the strongest goalkeeper in football today, it is enough to rank at the top, and this position is not Milan's weakness.

It can be said that the Milan team in front of them has almost no weaknesses at all, and it is difficult to beat Milan head-on.

Knowing the strength of AC Milan, Quaresma has practiced more hard in the past few days, even if the improvement brought him is minimal, he still persevered and did not give up.

Milan is the strongest opponent he has ever faced since his rebirth!

It's like a whetstone, he needs such an opponent to sharpen himself, sharpen his edge, and complete the transformation!

Or is it the same sentence, what if you win?
