Chapter 407: Scoring with Your Face
Whether it's Porto, CSKA Moscow, or Hamburg in the Bundesliga, they are all second-tier teams on the European battlefield, and they may cause some problems for the giants, but it is difficult to create miracles.
But these three teams faced Arsenal, but they couldn't even find a chance to breathe, can't such an Arsenal be called strong?
The fundamental reason for Arsenal's strength is not that new signing Ballack has propped up the backbone of Arsenal's midfield, but that they have the unstoppable presence of Quaresma.
Quares scored twice in four group games, scoring a total of eight goals, and even without the support of other team-mates, his eight goals could still ensure Arsenal win four in a row.
You know, in the previous season, these eight goals were enough to ensure that Quaresma was at the top of the Champions League scorer list, and even a chance to win the Champions League Golden Boot in the end.
But now, the season has just begun, and the group stage has only completed four rounds, and with Quaresma's current scoring efficiency, no one knows what kind of miracle Quaresma can create at the end of the Champions League.
At the very least, the single-season Champions League goal record set by Quaresma last season should be a thing of the past!
As long as Arsenal go far enough, the Champions League Golden Boot is pretty much in Quaresma's bag.
And Quaresma's goal in the Premier League was equally impressive, leading the scorers by a wide margin, leaving the likes of Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba to sigh.
For a phenomenal winger like Quaresma, someone has already come to the conclusion that I am afraid that he will lead the birth of a new genre, and the winger era has come!
……
In the next round of the league, Arsenal played West Ham United, and Quaresma, who was in excellent form, still got the chance to start, and even though Wenger made a big rotation, he still chose to trust Quaresma in order to ensure victory.
Van Persie also got the chance to start, and after confirming that he was in the starting line-up, he kept pestering Quaresma, who had no face and no skin to ask Quaresma to feed him.
Naturally, Quaresma will not fail to keep his promises, so he will certainly create chances for Van Persie as much as possible once he is sure that there will be no waves in the game.
People don't stand without faith, this time you fooled Van Persie, then next time you don't expect him to do anything for you.
However, Quaresma believes in one sentence - people do not stand on a wave!
In such a strange football world, surrounded by countless strange things, even Quaresma wants to grow up seriously is unrealistic, so just go to the waves!
West Ham United is not a strong team, although their nickname is the Hammers, and the style of play is the same brutal and rude, but because Reading has made a big deal about it, West Ham United is also afraid that they will be implicated, so they have been very restrained on the field recently, and in the face of Arsenal, it is inevitable to fall into passivity.
Halfway through the first half, Quaresma threatened from a corner and set up an attack, before Ballack stabbed the ball into the West Ham goal in a chaotic battle.
It didn't take long for Eboue to contribute a shocking world wave on the right flank, making it 2-0.
The game has lost its suspense so far!
So in the second half, Quaresma began to focus more on making a pie for Van Persie, and he didn't even care if he could score or not.
However, Van Persie's poor goalscoring efficiency has always been Quaresma's biggest concern, and he doesn't want to work for half a day and get nothing.
His fears were not unreasonable, and Van Persie proved to be a bit unreliable.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Quaresma sent a through ball to Van Persie from the ribs, and Robinhero had already turned to get a one-on-one chance, but the ball was sent into the arms of the West Ham goalkeeper.
While Van Persie hugged his head and regretted, Quaresma also made the same move, and the regrets of the two were completely synchronized.
I'm afraid that if it is replaced by Thierry Henry or Adebayor, Arsenal has already scored, but Van Persie is never-ending squandering opportunities, Quaresma is really hard to imagine, how will the future General Van be refined?
An assist was wasted like this, how could Quaresma be willing.
So Quaresma continued to feed Van Persie like an animal keeper.
Minutes later, Quaresma's sharp cross from the left was met by Robin van Persie in the middle, but his header flew well over the crossbar and he missed the goal again.
Quaresma regretted it a little!
Why did you agree on three assists in the first place?
If it was just three threatening passes, then Quaresma would have done it quickly, but now it's three assists, and with Van Persie's mentally retarded goalscoring efficiency, he won't be unable to complete his entire career, right?
What to do?
Do you want to break your promise and give up continuing to flake Van Persie?
Quaresma really can't do it.
Therefore, I can only continue to stuff Van Persie into my mouth, and as for whether I can score goals, I can only resign myself to fate.
In the 75th minute of the second half, Van Persie got the most threatening shot of the game, Quares sent a through ball in front of him, Van Persie turned and smashed into the small penalty area, faced the goalkeeper, and shot directly with his feet, and there was no one in front of him to stop him.
I can't help but cheer and celebrate, not just for the goal, but for my own difficult assist.
However, things are far from that simple.
The West Ham goalkeeper couldn't make an effective save from close range, but Van Persie's shot didn't fly straight into the back of the net.
Duang!!!
With a loud bang, the ball hit the post so hard that the goal was buzzing, and Van Persie's shot was simply amazing.
But before the fans could scream because of the goalpost, the ball bounced back after hitting the post, and bounced directly into the face of Van Persie, who was not mentally prepared, and hit with a blow.
If the broadcast camera could capture that moment, I'm afraid fans would have been able to see Van Persie's smothered and distorted face.
There are many kinds of shots, from dexterous shots to violent shots, to arc shots, and even if they are nicknamed, they are probably tiger shots or eagle shots.
However, Van Persie's shot on goal was definitely a suicidal shot.
Quaresma had clearly heard Van Persie's screams from the bottom of his heart.
"I hurt for you!"
It's okay, it's just stuffy on the face, a little whole face, if the position is moved down a little bit, stuffed under the lower abdomen, it is really a major surgery!
However, fools are blessed with fools, and blessings in disguise are often common.
After the ball hit Van Persie in the face, it rebounded again and bounced towards the West Ham United goal, the West Ham United goalkeeper couldn't react at all, and looked at the ball that flew into his own goal in amazement, and once doubted his life.
The stands were stunned by all West Ham fans, the plot developed far beyond their expectations, and the twists and turns were not at all something they could grasp.
This way of scoring goals is a bit weird!
If Van Persie had found the back of the net with a normal shot, they would have been disappointed, but they wouldn't have been so surprised.
Everyone would have thought that Van Persie would give them a fatal blow with such a strange way of scoring goals, even fans with too much imagination will only be dumbfounded at this time.
This is the legendary "kill a thousand, lose eight hundred"?
West Ham fans are keen to tell Robin van Persie that you don't have to self-harm and that we won't stop you if you score normally
Van Persie was hit in the face and lay on his back, as if the whole earth was stuffed in his face, and the sourness, accompanied by tears and snot, almost filled the whole world.
However, when I found out that I had actually scored a goal just now, I was stunned again!
What's going on here?
Can anyone tell me that I just scored the goal with my face?
So, does this goal count?
Van Persie doesn't know how to describe his mood right now.
Is it exciting?
Is it exciting?
Or is it slightly bitter?
The goal was exciting, but the way he scored in a way that could turn into a laughing stock was a bit embarrassing.
It's like a swordsman who practiced swordsmanship hard, and when he dueled with someone, he forgot to bring his sword, so he could only pick up the bricks and overturn his opponent.
Such a victory is really a bit embarrassing!
Is God joking that what he does best is useless, but he wins in a comical way?
Just when Van Persie didn't know whether he should celebrate or not, his teammates had already rushed up, laughing so hard that they wanted to roll on the turf a few times, Van Persie's unlucky virtue was really unbearable.
Even the West Ham fans in the stands forgot the pain of conceding the goal and laughed heartlessly, such a rare comical scene, you must laugh first.
"Your goal will go down in history, maybe 100 years from now, your name will not be remembered, but this goal will definitely be remembered!"
"Robin, teach me how to score goals with my face! Such a new way of shooting is too technical! ”
"Well, does your face hurt?"
"I think you may have a tendency to be disfigured, let me introduce you to a plastic surgery hospital, they are highly skilled, the fees are low, and they will definitely meet your various needs!"
The players rubbed Van Persie's hair, and in Van Persie's still confused expression, they hugged him and walked back to his own half, celebrating happily as they went.
It's just that at this time, Quaresma couldn't help but scratch his head, because he wasn't sure if this goal was his assist.
Although his own pass created this kind of threat, but Van Persie's shot did not break the goal at the first time, and after the ball hit the post, Van Persie scored with his face, if he strictly followed the rules, this may not be his own assist at all.
After working hard for a long time and getting nothing, Quaresma couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
Regardless of whether it is officially counted or not, anyway, I forget it, this goal must be counted as an assist.
You don't have to reason with me, it's not that I have to sympathize with you if your face is swollen.
At this time, Quaresma has no reason to talk about.
At the end of the game, the score was already 4:0, and Arsenal once again beat their opponents, taking all three points.
Quaresma didn't score, but the team won and he fed Van Persie a pie and was in a good mood.
After the game, Quaresma was certainly not the focus, but Van Persie, whose face was already swollen like a sweet potato, was.
He was really famous, along with his face
"I really don't want to be famous like this, what should I do?" On the bus, Van Persie wailed with a sad face.
"You should be content, you know, so many people want to become famous and want to be popular without a chance, and even don't hesitate to get rid of it to the end, do you know how rare this opportunity is?" Quaresma teased Van Persie, and he did think that Van Persie was a little hypocritical.
For a goalscorer, scoring goals is the supreme pursuit.
No matter how you score, the ball gets into the opponent's goal, and that's your success!
Van Persie's goal inefficiency at Arsenal is outrageous, he has repeatedly wasted good opportunities, and now that he has finally scored, he feels that the way he scored is a bit embarrassing, isn't it hypocrisy?
If you leave this choice to other strikers and choose between not scoring and scoring with their faces, then I'm afraid that the vast majority of strikers will choose to score with their faces, and there is no shame in that!
You can't even eat instant noodles, what are you craving?
"I'd rather use my face to score goals!" Walcoat looked at Van Persie with envious eyes and said, "But I don't even have a chance to score with my face!" ”
The expression and the look in his eyes were as if Van Persie had picked up a pie that fell from the sky!
Hearing this, Quaresma couldn't help but smile at Walcott, this wish can actually be satisfied!
If you want to score with your face too, then I can create that opportunity for you!
As long as you stand at the right angle, with my superb shooting skills, a shot is pumped in your face, and the ball bounces back to score, you can definitely do it!
The premise is that you can stand it
There was laughter on the bus, and the players discussed the relationship between goals and faces so much that even Arsene Wenger couldn't help but join the discussion, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
The first team were given a chance to rest and adjust, and they were not required to participate in the Carabao Cup in midweek, even if they faced strong opponents Liverpool at the weekend, but a few animals could not hold back the desire to party.
"We just celebrated Robin's goal with his face, really!" Xiaofa's eyes revealed sincerity.
Always find a high-sounding reason for the party, even if everyone knows it's self-deception, but at least they can feel more at ease.
At this time, even Van Persie felt that his face was not so painful.
At least the swollen face is not useless, and it seems worth it to be a justification for their legitimacy.
Quaresma rolled his eyes, and the reason for the party was powerful, as if it had to be celebrated with the reason that the neighbor's sow had eight piglets in one litter
