Back in the Portuguese national team, Quaresma is also like a fish in water, although Portugal has a lot of newcomers, but Quaresma still quickly got along with them.

Portugal's golden generation has completely faded out of the national team, and whether the newcomers can come up is probably an unknown unknown to anyone.

Former Indian striker Pauletta is 34 years old and will be 35 at next year's European Championships, and it is clear that Scolari cannot count on a 35-year-old centre-forward to make a comeback for the team.

In his place are Postiga, who are gradually being heavily used, as well as high school striker Gomez.

However, this is not the biggest change in Portugal's starting line-up.

In terms of midfield, Costinha, Thiago and Maniche, who were once absolute mainstays, have all retired from the national team, and even Figo, the leader of Portugal, has bid farewell to the national team.

It can be said that the Portuguese national team has truly completed the big change of blood from the old to the new.

Many people are actually not optimistic about the performance of the Portuguese national team in next year's European Championship, after all, from the perspective of the strong teams, the lineup change of the Portuguese national team is the most exaggerated.

Even with Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the biggest superstars in football, who can guarantee that they will be able to replicate the miracle of the '06 World Cup!

But Quaresma doesn't think so.

The golden generation is certainly outstanding, but football is really a competitive sport for young people.

A 35-year-old veteran must be extremely experienced, but the absolute domination of the mind is not supported by the body, how can he perform well on the field?

In fact, last year, Quaresma could already feel the obvious inadequacy of the veterans, especially Costinha and Maniche, who were often unable to control the midfield well.

Replacing the young Meireles and Moutinho, they may not be able to read the game to the standard of top stars, but the important thing is that they are in good shape and can run around the pitch with a very aggressive posture, which is more in line with the overall tactics of the Portuguese pair.

With veterans like Figo, Costinha and Maniche, Portugal's attacking speed cannot be improved at all, except for counterattacks, and the ability of Quaresma and Ronaldo cannot be 100% played.

And once there are young people running desperately in the midfield, Quaresma and Ronaldo exert their maximum energy, and no one can predict what kind of destructive power they can cause.

"Maybe we can consider increasing the frequency of switching positions in the game, because there is not much difference between the left and right sides for you anyway." On the training ground, Ronaldo put his arm around Quaresma's shoulders and said with a grin.

Quaresma couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, is Ronaldo trying to do the job of a manager?

Now, according to Scolari's arrangement, after Figo's retirement, Quaresma is fixed on the right and Cristiano Ronaldo is fixed on the left.

Although Quaresma plays more on the left side of the club, he has a terrifying outside instep strike and can also play inside on the right.

And Ronaldo is a right-footed player, cutting inside on the left side and shooting with his right foot, he can also exert the maximum power, and fly with Quaresma, which is definitely the most lethal weapon in Portugal in the world.

However, Ronaldo's proposal is also very appetizing to Quaresma, as long as both men have the foundation of playing two wings, frequent changes can confuse the opponent without reducing the combat effectiveness, disrupt the opponent's defense, and it is easier to score goals.

But this is a great test of the tacit understanding between the players and the ability to read the game on the field, and if it is not executed well, it will become a joke.

"You can try, but if you're running around, you might as well not run." Quaresma thought for a moment and said to Ronaldo.

But I don't want Ronaldo to give Quaresma a contemptuous look, "Don't you think it's easier to run around in the switch?" ”

Quaresma's expression froze instantly, and he swore that he really wanted to fight Ronaldo.

This thing actually mocks his tactical literacy!

How unreasonable!

Well, Ronaldo is not exaggerating, Quaresma's tactical literacy is indeed inferior to Ronaldo, which is probably the only thing Ronaldo can show off in front of Quaresma.

As a result, in the training, the two focused on the exchange of the side lane, and even abandoned the traditional side position, blurring the division of labor between the left and right lanes, and the time of the two on the left and right roads was almost half and half.

This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and in the tactical drill, the players on the substitute side are about to cry.

Do you want to bully people like this?

Quaresma abused Ronaldo, Ronaldo abused Quaresma, the two completely different breakthrough methods switched frequently, and no one could adapt to it.

After a tactical exercise, Quaresma and Ronaldo completely blew up the defense of the substitute side.

Scolari was also a little dumbfounded standing on the training ground, although his tactics included the arrangement of changing positions on the wings, but it was not the main offensive means, and it was enough to use it once in a while to confuse the opponent.

But he didn't expect that Quaresma and Ronaldo actually tampered with his arrangement, and what he didn't expect was that the effect was so good!

Scolari was immediately inspired and had ideas for the construction of the Portuguese team.

Indeed, he originally thought about it simply, if he only let Quaresma and Ronaldo fly together, it is standard, but it seems to have lost spirituality.

And now the performance of the two men has opened Scolari's eyes to more possibilities.

However, the tactical drill may not be clear enough, and Scolari has decided to use these two games to prove it.

If they do find the right way to use Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, then Scolari is sure that Portugal will be invincible.

So in the first game against Azerbaijan, Scolari did not hesitate to send the main lineup in his heart, and at the same time gave Quaresma and Ronaldo a higher degree of tactical freedom, further blurring the concept of fixed wings, and it can even be said that Portugal has two free men in the front.

In order to cope with this change, Scolari also deliberately put Gomez as a high school striker in the center forward position, hoping that the two can get more support.

And Quaresma and Ronaldo really lived up to Scolari's trust, and the magical switch of the two directly broke down the Azerbaijani defense.

Quaresma scored four goals alone, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, and with goals from Deco and Pepe, Azerbaijan came close to being put in double digits.

Even if the teammate is not strong, it is enough to prove the feasibility of this tactical thinking, after all, the tactics are not fully mastered, and there are still more possibilities.

However, some problems were also exposed in the game, not only Scolari was a little distressed, but even Quaresma was a little helpless.

He and Ronaldo have a tacit understanding enough, the two of them don't need much communication in their running positions, maybe they have already completed the communication with one look, one is the main station, the other is the wingman, and they can also switch the C position at any time, completely arbitrary.

But the center Gomez is on the field, and it is a bit of a pit.

Gomez is not the same as Pauletta, he is a typical traditional center forward, although the Portuguese has no shortage of skills at his feet, but he is used to standing on the pile, if the two wings are fed him cannonballs frequently, maybe there is a good performance, but now let him cooperate with Quaresma and Ronaldo, two very spiritual talents, he is a little out of pace.

Not only did he have no achievements on the field, but he might even lag behind because of his dull running.

It was because of a running mistake that he actually coincided with Quaresma's position, directly changed from an offensive player to a defensive player, and successfully defended Quaresma, if there was no accident this time, not only Quaresma could complete the five sons of Dengko, but Portugal's goals could also become double digits.

At that time, Quaresma looked at Gomez speechless, and the opponent couldn't prevent him with all his might, but he didn't count that there were still undercover agents in his team.

Gomez was also embarrassed, and his expression was very apologetic, so that Quaresma couldn't let out his temper.

However, it was this attack that made Scolari realize that the real suitable match for Quaresma and Ronaldo is not necessarily a high striker, but a striker who can read the two, have enough tacit understanding with the two, and are willing to sacrifice.

Against this backdrop, the starting line in the second game became Postiga.

In private, Quaresma has already communicated with Postiga, and if he wants to survive in the gap between the two superstars, Quaresma and Ronaldo, Postiga will undoubtedly have his own methods.

'You can disagree with me, but when Cristiano and I are attacking the city, we don't need a striker who aims to score goals, but a more versatile and unselfish wingman.

"Pulling in a flexible running position, pulling the defense, pinning down the defense, reducing the number of touches on the ball, from a functional point of view, can play a more effective role."

"And I think goals will only come if you forget the concept of goals, after all, you were probably the biggest beneficiary when Cristiano and I were raging."

......

Quaresma didn't go around the bush with Postiga, and with his friendship with Postiga, he didn't have to worry about anything, and even if Postega didn't agree with Quaresma, he would never be angry.

Postiga laughed, inexplicably.

"You don't think I can even see that?" Postiga couldn't help but glance at Quaresma, "When I was in Porto, Lao Tzu used to be your wingman every day, so I'm used to it!" ”

Looking at Postiga's contempt and tsundere, he was simply proud of being a wingman for Quaresma.

Quaresma was speechless for a while, knowing that he was still talking nonsense, and he would just do it.

In the pre-match training, Postiga did show flexibility, basically fulfilling Scolari's tactical requirements for him, and, when dealing with Quaresma, he also had the opportunity to eat the cake that Quaresma brought to his mouth, which was a world away from Gomez's performance.

He is more agile and can do more than Gomez, and in just one game he has almost locked in the starting position of the main striker.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that after Scolari is inspired this time, there will be updated criteria for the next selection of players, and there will be new internationals who are more suitable for being wingmen.

In the away game against Kazakhstan, Postiga continued to have Scolari's trust, starting alongside Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo to officially establish his wingmanship.

And in this game against the underdogs, Portugal once again showed their unstoppable form, and they have been ravaging their opponents to death on the road.

Due to political reasons, Kazakhstan, which can only join UEFA, is definitely the weakest team in UEFA, and I am afraid that it is stronger than a country like Luxembourg that does not have a few people in the whole country.

Portugal didn't have to be so bullying, and they could stop after scoring a few goals to seal the win.

But now Scolari has to practice tactics, there is no way, the players can only be asked by Scolari to keep trying to attack, looking for potential problems in the attack.

At the same time, because the new players urgently need to establish their status, and they also want to show a better version of themselves to the government Scolari, so they have played until the end, and no one has released water.

Quaresma's hat-trick, Cristiano Ronaldo scored, Postiga scored, Meireles scored, and even full-back Miguel scored, completely spent.

The most important thing is that the free play of Quaresma and Ronaldo, with the assistance of Postiga, really has an irresistible momentum, even if Kazakhstan defends with all its might, it is still shocked.

In this way, Scolari has really found a style of play that meets the characteristics of Portugal's talented players, and as long as he sharpens himself in the game, there is still a year to go, and Scolari believes that Portugal will definitely win the championship in next year's European Championship.

However, when the game was over, Scolari remembered that he had been so focused on watching the game that he had forgotten to replace Guardesma.

He had agreed with Schuster that he couldn't play two games, and he actually let Quaresma play two 90 minutes.

But Scolari didn't care too much after thinking about it, anyway, after all the kicks, he didn't believe that Schuster could still do anything to him!

As everyone knows, Schuster, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game at this time, was itching with hatred.

Made, you said you wanted to give Quaresma plenty of rest, but you didn't keep the agreement?

Next time, I'll see if I can release someone!

Quaresma didn't think much of it, didn't know about the intrigue between Scolari and Schuster, and after celebrating the victory with his team-mates, he was ready to fly back to Madrid overnight.

The task for the national team came to an end for the time being, just in time for Poland to be beaten by Belgium in another game, and Portugal regained the initiative by regaining the initiative thanks to these two big wins.

The mission is perfectly accomplished, and next, it's time to play La Liga and Champions League dungeons!

La Liga winner or Champions League winner, which one do you choose?

Only children make a choice, and Quaresma says he wants both!
