Chapter 357: Assists and Inability to Hold On
Ronaldo's injuries on the sidelines, watching him bite his lip and look helpless, did not return to his usual unruliness.
I'm afraid he himself felt that the injury on his leg was not a minor problem.
Quaresma broke free of Deco and strode towards the referee, Figo was worried that Quaresma would do something out of the ordinary, so he kept tugging at Quaresma and kept urging him to calm down in his ear.
"I'm calm now, Captain!" Quaresma said expressionlessly.
The corners of Figo's mouth twitched slightly, you tell me that your current appearance is called calm?
I'm afraid you don't have some misunderstanding of the word calm?
Walking in front of the referee, Quaresma did appear calm.
"Mr. referee, Bolaruz's actions are completely up to the standard of a crime, why was he only given a yellow card?"
The tone is calm, but it is already close to questioning!
Referee Ivanov was a little unhappy with Quaresma's attitude, and explained coldly: "I have my penalty standard, which is in line with the rules set by FIFA, I don't think this is a red card action, if you have any doubts about my decision, you can go to the World Cup referee committee after the game to appeal, but please follow my decision on the field!" ”
Facing Ivanov, Quaresma's tone became more and more indifferent, "So, can I understand that as long as no one dies, he will not get a red card?" ”
Ivanov raised his eyebrows, "Are you questioning my decision?" ”
It looks like authority has been provoked, and the whole person is about to burst into flames.
"Then, I hope your penalty standard will not change!" Quaresma gave Ivanov a deep look, turned his head and walked to his own half, but the back made Ivanov feel a palpitation for no reason.
After a three-minute pause, the game could finally be restarted, but the Portuguese players already had a burning flame in their eyes.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the pitch drew cheers from the Portuguese fans, but his unnatural walking posture had already told everyone about his form.
Even if he gritted his teeth and insisted, not wanting to miss such an important match, could he really hold on?
Quaresma looked at his good brother and couldn't help but make a secret decision in his heart.
- During the period when Ronaldo can still hold on to the game, try to create a chance for Ronaldo to score.
If he scores, maybe Ronaldo won't have too many regrets, get off the field as soon as possible and receive better treatment, if it really keeps delaying and affecting his entire career, it will be too much to lose!
Don't think Quaresma's decision is stupid, it's right that the pursuit of goals is the goal of a striker, but many times, in front of goals, it is more of a test of brotherhood.
In the last World Cup, in order to thank Xiao Luo for helping him, Ronaldo, who is striving for the World Cup Golden Boot, can give Xiao Luo a penalty opportunity, is his decision also stupid?
At that time, everyone was praising Ronaldo's demeanor.
Now, too, Quaresma feels that there is no better way to console an injured Cristiano Ronaldo than a goal!
......
Figo takes a free-kick, Pauletta doesn't fight for Matt Eason, the ball is cleared and turned into an attack for the Dutch team!
It's just that before Cocu, who was on the periphery of the penalty area, turned around and took the ball to attack the Portuguese position, he was directly knocked to the ground by Maniche who was killed by the diagonal stab, which simply made the Dutch players a little confused.
Neither a counterattack, nor a threat, the offense is not even just launched, why did Portugal directly foul?
And seeing that Maniche didn't have the intention of directly playing a second attack after a steal, the purpose was very clear, that is, to knock Cocu down, and after the foul, he didn't even defend himself, turned around and ran to his own half.
Quaresma couldn't help but want to applaud Maniche!
That's how it should be!
Since you have committed a malicious foul first, you must be prepared to be overturned!
If the Holland is better than Portugal?
Davies was excluded from the Dutch national team squad by Van Basten, and De Jong, who is on the same level as Pepe, is still just a hairy child.
Just the appearance of a Maniche can make you think of a perverted murderer, the kind that can scare children into crying!
Captain Figo is also a tough guy on the pitch, and at his peak as a winger he became the player with the most aggression per game in La Liga, which shows how aggressive he is!
The enraged Portugal can burst out with such a strong fighting force, I'm afraid the Netherlands doesn't know what kind of existence they provoked!
It's no wonder that this game will eventually turn into a red and yellow card battle, if Pepe and De Jong are also on the field, it is estimated that the popularity will be no less than that of a world war!
It seemed that they had made up their minds to teach the Netherlands a lesson, and Maniche and Costinha repeatedly fouled the Dutch half, and cleanly brought down the Dutch players, regardless of how you broke through, and whether they could defend or not, as if they had no other purpose at all, they just wanted to put you down here!
It's just telling the Dutch team plainly that if you play dirty, we will too!
Continue if you don't accept it!
Of course, Maniche and Costinha still retain the minimum morality and have not directly abolished people, otherwise I am afraid that Cocu and Robben will have to retire from the field injured at this time!
The referee hesitated, but still did not pick up another yellow card, after all, this is not even a tactical foul.
Quaresma couldn't help but want to laugh, the temper of his teammates was much hotter than he imagined, and with them looking for a field, it seemed that they didn't need to do it themselves!
But things must not end so simply, if Ronaldo's injury has little impact, then it's okay, if Ronaldo can really only retire with an injury, then Quaresma must give Bolaruz a hard blow!
Now, let's think about how to create a chance for Ronaldo to score!
Raised his hand from afar and made a few gestures to Ronaldo on the left side, this is a tactic specially formulated by him and Ronaldo, both of them are talented, once they cooperate with tacit understanding to play a routine attack, I am afraid that the opponent will not be able to stop it at all.
Ronaldo also gave Quaresma a few gestures back, indicating that he was accepted, and the gesture interaction between the two made everyone feel fun!
What code is this true?
Morse code?
Figo, who was between the two, had a black line, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, the two of them played routines without themselves!
When the backfield disrupted a Dutch attack, Quaresma hurriedly raised his hand on the right flank to ask for the ball.
If you don't know how to raise your hand to ask for the ball, then what kind of core player is it, that's called no responsibility!
Miguel wanted to rush forward with the ball himself, but when he saw Quaresma raise his hand, he hesitated for a moment and chose to push the ball to Quaresma.
As an offensive and defensive full-back, Miguel was also able to dominate a wide field in his prime, and he can often be seen dribbling the ball all the way from the back to the front in many games, and the assists are extremely sharp.
However, because the Portuguese national team has several big wingers, all of whom are the kind of terrible wingers who can destroy the opponent's defense alone, Miguel's role has fallen off a cliff.
More often than not, you can only wipe your ass for Quaresma or Ronaldo, defend against the blame, but when attacking, you can often only pull the side to play a pulling role, and the feeling of overkill is too strong!
No way, who made the Portuguese winger too strong!
You know, even with Ashley Cole, the Premier League's No. 1 left wing-back, behind him at Arsenal, Quaresma can transform him into a defensive full-back like Ferreira......
But Miguel didn't complain too much, isn't it good that his teammates are strong?
At least if your teammates are strong, you have the hope of winning the championship, so sacrifice yourself!
Quaresma didn't know what Miguel was thinking, and after receiving the latter's pass, Quaresma half-turned and then pulled the ball to break through from the other side, and directly shook off Robben who came over to find abuse, and his defense was not much better than Quaresma's.
In the excited cheers of the fans, Quaresma started the murderous breakthrough mode again, facing Cocu who was pulled in by the midfielder and Van Bronckhorst, who focused all his energy on defending himself, Quaresma was undaunted and continued to move forward.
Rapid shaking left and right, using the change of center of gravity in high-speed dribbling to confuse the opponent has become the most difficult way to resist Quaresma's breakthrough, Rao is Koku and Van Bronckhorst formed a two-man defensive situation, but they can still only take turns to drag Quaresma's strategy, if they rush up, they will inevitably be directly broken through by Quaresma.
Although the two opponents stuck to themselves like kraft candy, Quaresma was not irritable, anyway, the purpose of this wave was not to break through the two directly, otherwise Quaresma would have taken action a long time ago!
Rushing all the way down the flanks to a position parallel to the top of the penalty area, Quaresma had already observed the position in the threatening area, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, but this faint smile surprised the two Dutch defenders.
At that moment, Quaresma slammed the ball with his right foot and seemed to want to cut inside the middle.
Cocu naturally knew that Quaresma's famous in-cut shot was unsolvable, and he was still half a beat behind after being prepared, and he was relieved to stride in the way of Quaresman's internal cut.
However, Cocu did not expect that Quaresma had no intention of breaking through at all.
At this time, there has been a big gap between Cocu and Van Bronckhorst, maybe Quaresma will break through from this gap, he may be closed and blocked, but if you use this space to pass, the opponent still has nothing to do!
Under Cocu's shocked expression, Quaresma slammed the ball with the outside of his right foot, and the ball flew into the Dutch penalty area with a strong spin and against the turf.
Outside instep low flat cross!
Another great trick of Quaresma!
Although there are not many times when Quaresma uses this kind of cross due to various reasons such as conditions, it is undeniable that this is still a shocking super move, and every time he appears on the pitch, it is followed by a bloody storm.
All the fans couldn't help but exclaim, especially the fans watching the game in front of the TV, because of the capture of the broadcast footage, they saw it more clearly and intuitively than the fans in the field.
It's a scrappy cross!
In the Dutch penalty area, Oyer went to block, his crotch was almost strained, and he didn't touch the ball.
Bolaruz, who has always followed Ronaldo at the back point, also wanted to clear the ball, but his fate was the same as Oyer's, and he made a mistake in judgment because of the strong spinning trajectory of the ball.
Ronaldo knew Quaresma's passing style and route very well, and he didn't slow down, and fell to the ground to shovel the ball far away, and came to a passionate tackle.
Quaresma couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Ronaldo, this action is very difficult, if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself, Ronaldo can't hold on, if the injury is aggravated because of this action, wouldn't it be a sin?
With such a close distance, Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had little to do in the face of his Manchester United team-mates, and although he tried to make a save, he could not stop the ball from rolling into his own goal.
The ball is in!
Ronaldo fell to the ground and stared at the ball until it was confirmed that the ball rolled into the Dutch goal, and the whole person was about to explode in an instant!
Jumping up from the ground, frantically rushing into the goal, scooping up the ball, he rushed towards Quaresma, his mouth kept roaring, unscrupulously venting the depression he had just encountered and the excitement of scoring now.
Quaresma greeted him with a smile, Ronaldo jumped on top of him, and the two celebrated the goal in place!
"Your passing is so beautiful, it makes the opponent desperate!"
Ronaldo rarely has a compliment, which makes Quaresma feel that what he is looking at may be a fake Ronaldo.
"Your goal is also quite beautiful, but it is a bit dangerous, I would rather you don't risk such a dangerous move!" Quaresma laughed, although the goal was scored, Ronaldo was indeed too risky!
Teammates flocked to the middle of the two, if it weren't for the fear that Ronaldo might be injured, I'm afraid they would snatch Ronaldo from Quaresma and ravage it well!
A lesson should be taught to the damned Holland!
The opening exposes the essence of the executioner, for such a bad opponent, not only to defeat them in the game, but also to defeat them mentally, that is called the most exciting revenge.
Whenever Portugal take the lead, any opponent will have a headache because they will face Portugal's most terrifying counter-attack in the next game.
With Quaresma here, the counterattack can be played out of the feeling of the battle of the century!
Now, the scales of victory have begun to tip in Portugal's favor.
The goal was celebrated with great excitement and it wasn't until the referee intervened that they ended the celebration and restarted the game.
However, in this situation that is extremely beneficial to Portugal, Ronaldo still has not been able to hold on.
Less than a minute before the game restarted, Ronaldo gritted his teeth and sat on the ground, unable to continue the game!
