According to the rules, after the red card, the next match of the match is automatically suspended, that is, the red card of the league is only suspended in the league and will not affect the FA Cup or League Cup;

The FA's additional penalties apply to all competitions within the FA Association, that is, the four games suspended can be the Premier League, the FA Cup, or the League Cup.

In this case, there is a lot more room for manoeuvre.

Excluding the Champions League, which has nothing to do with suspension, Arsenal's next five games are against Manchester City in the FA Cup, and back-to-back league games against Villa, Everton, West Ham United and Liverpool.

The fifth game was against Liverpool and it was definitely a very important game.

So, is it possible to find a way for Quaresma to be available against Liverpool?

Absolutely!

The rules of the FA Cup are different from other competitions, a single game is decided, if a game is not decided, then there is no extra time and penalty kicks, and the venue is directly exchanged for extra matches, and the winner is determined in this way.

If Arsenal and Manchester City play to a draw, then the extra game will be played between the two league games against Everton and West Ham United.

As a result, the five suspended games became the FA Cup against Manchester City, the league against Villa and Everton, the FA Cup against Manchester City, and the fifth league game against West Ham United, and Liverpool became Quaresma's first game back from the suspension.

That's the rule!

While it may seem like two FA Cup games have left Quaresma suspended for just three games in the Premier League, the problem with this is that Arsenal will have to play one more game, and with such a packed schedule, it would be a straw that breaks the camel's back.

Arsene Wenger and the coaching staff are now struggling with whether to play an extra FA Cup game for Quaresma's early comeback, and they will have to weigh the pros and cons of this.

"It's decided!"

Wenger slammed the table and said loudly.

'If we have an extra game in the FA Cup, after that extra game, it's the international break, we can negotiate with the national teams to reduce the playing time of the players as much as possible, and we can also give up this FA Cup extra game!'

"Originally, the FA Cup was dispensable, and now that it has reached this stage, there is no need to continue to hold on!"

"That way, although it looks like we've played one more game, we won't waste more energy than Manchester United!"

Arsene Wenger's eyes were always on the schedule, and the sheets of paper were about to be torn apart.

The members of the coaching staff nodded in agreement, this is undoubtedly the best approach, compared to the league and the Champions League, the FA Cup can be the icing on the cake, but if it becomes a burden, then there is really no need to exist.

Quaresma didn't know that Wenger and the coaching staff were having a headache with him, and he took advantage of the suspension to take a good rest and recover his fitness for the season sprint, and secondly, he could enrich himself, and even wanted to sign up for a coaching class.

Although the primary coach qualification training only involves basic technical movements, and there is no advanced tactical theory, you can't participate in the follow-up training if you don't pass the primary assessment, so if Quaresma wants to rely on the coach training class to improve his technical and tactical literacy, even if he feels that the initial training is a waste of time, he must participate.

However, although England is suspended for the domestic season, the Champions League is still to be played, and the next game is a home game against Real Madrid, and Quaresma is not idle.

Real Madrid was beaten to a complete body away from home, and now back at home, Real Madrid may lose even more, even if Wenger has reservations in order to preserve his strength, Real Madrid may not be able to please.

What's more, he has been suspended in England, Wenger can't even let himself play in the Champions League, with his own presence, how much waves can Real Madrid make?

......

Public opinion is still very lively, and Arsenal's opponents are very happy next, and it is foreseeable that Arsenal will have an incomplete lineup.

Maybe they can't do anything against Arsenal with Quaresma and Henry, but now that Arsenal's golden two guns can't play, won't they have a chance to gnaw a piece of meat on Arsenal?

Liverpool, in particular, were lucky to catch the last train, Quaresma's last game of suspension, which happened to be Arsenal's match against Liverpool, and in the face of Arsenal with two core players absent, Liverpool had no reason not to eat well.

However, public opinion is immediately back in the Champions League rhythm, and with Real Madrid's arrival in London, the media is once again lively.

"Thierry Henry can't play, Arsenal is not the strongest Arsenal, I think we must have a chance to turn the tables away from home, because football is round, there is nothing impossible!" When Capello was interviewed, he swore very much, as if he was really sure about the game.

Journalists in England can't help but want to give Capello a slap in the face!

Arsenal scored five goals on the road!

Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant?

Although Real Madrid also scored a face-saving goal at home, the score of 5:1 cannot be easily reversed.

At least in the history of the Champions League knockout round, there is no record of knocking out an opponent away from home after a heavy defeat.

On the contrary, there are examples of losing miserably at home, and losing even worse away from home!

Everyone thinks that the latter situation is more suitable for Real Madrid!

Capello is also quite helpless, Calderon has already talked to him, even if Real Madrid is eliminated, Real Madrid must play a wonderful game in this game, and it can't be eliminated like this.

Capello was tempted to take off his shoes and slap them in Calderón's face.

Do you know how to play a ball?

With the current strength of Real Madrid, even if Henry is not present, it would be good for Real Madrid to barely compete with Arsenal.

Anyway, the Italians have already made up their minds, such a difficult club, at the end of this season, even if Calderón does not fire him, he himself will be gone!

I can't stay!

Calderon also came to London with the team, on the one hand to watch the game live at the Emirates Stadium, and on the other hand, to discuss some things with the president of Arsenal, as for what happened between them, everyone may know, but Calderon still does not want anyone to know.

......

In the box at the Emirates Stadium, Calderon, accompanied by Arsenal president Hillwood, was watching the players of both sides warm up on the pitch with a spring breeze.

"The Emirates Stadium is quite modern, but it doesn't have a lot of history! And there are so few fans that can be accommodated! Calderon grumbled inwardly, but he wouldn't say it openly.

'Arsenal have really good young players and I think we should have the opportunity to work together more deeply, whether it's club building or the development of young players.

Calderon spoke some very official language, but Hillwood was not the least impatient.

"Arsenal already have the strongest squad and in my opinion, Quaresma is only the icing on the cake at Arsenal, and if Quaresma can be sold for an unprecedented price, I think it will greatly ease Arsenal's financial situation, right?"

Calderon finally decided not to have a false relationship with Hillwood, because he found that he was not as patient as the old man.

Hillwood shrugged, in fact, he already knew what Calderon was going to say, and this question was by no means decided in a few words.

"We all know Quaresma's energy, having him means infinite proximity to the championship trophy, and for Arsenal, he is by no means the icing on the cake, but a superstar who can really lead Arsenal to glory!"

Hillwood looked at Quaresma, who was warming up with his teammates on the field, and smiled softly.

As the de facto owners of the Arsenal club, the Hillwood family has been in charge of Arsenal since the 20s of the last century, during which they have experienced ups and downs, but it is only now that the glory has really come.

He did what neither his grandfather nor his father did!

As a successful businessman, it would be a disaster to be persuaded by Calderón in a few words.

Hillwood would never say that Quaresma is not for sale at Arsenal, and there is no such thing as a non-sale in the world, a term that often means that your offer is not satisfactory.

What is the current world record for transfer fees?

Zidane's $6450w!

And this number was already set five seasons ago!

Considering the development of world football, the rapid rise in the value of players, and even the fluctuation of currency exchange rates, Quaresma is worth more than 100 million pounds, and there is no suspense.

Note that the currency unit here is the pound sterling!

When he won the World Cup but did not win the double Footballer of the Year, the pros estimated that Quaresma was worth 100 million euros.

And when Quaresma won the double Footballer of the Year and became the first person in international football in the true sense of the word, his worth became 100 million pounds.

At the current exchange rate between the pound and the euro, 100 million pounds is equal to 150 million euros.

This is simply an exaggerated figure.

Who can afford such an expensive Quaresma?

In the ranking of world football clubs last season released by authoritative institutions, although Real Madrid was disappointed last season, thanks to Florentino's superstar policy, they are still the most lucrative club in world football, with an overall income of 373 million US dollars!

Based on the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro, 373 million US dollars is about 287 million euros.

With an income of less than 300 million in a season, but to buy Quaresma for 150 million, even if it is Real Madrid, it will be painful.

Moreover, this $287 million is just income, and in fact, Real Madrid's profit is only about 2000w, which is not even a fraction of Quaresma's worth.

Even if Real Madrid wants to win Quaresma, it will take a few years, let alone other clubs!

This value will undoubtedly make everyone daunted.

Hillwood probably knows that only Chelsea, a local tycoon, can easily pull out this money.

Real Madrid wants to buy it, and he has no objection!

But the value is the value, and the value does not represent the actual transfer fee!

The player is playing well with me, so why should I sell it?

Unless there is a satisfactory premium!

If Quaresma is worth 150 million euros plus a premium, wouldn't it go straight to 200 million euros?

Anyway, Hillwood doesn't believe Real Madrid can shell out the money.

Therefore, Hillwood will never be in a hurry to sell Quaresma, and keep Quaresma for Arsenal to win more titles, okay?

And with Quaresma, Arsenal's commercial development will also be smoother, and this part of the growth alone will be enough for them to repay the loan.

"150 million euros, I hope this price will satisfy Arsenal, after all, the high interest on the loan alone is enough to leave you breathless!"

However, Hillwood did not answer directly, but looked at Calderon with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the field.

"Let's watch the game!"

Although Calderón's face was impassive, he couldn't help but curse "old fox" in his heart!

It seems that it is not easy to take down Quaresma.

"You say, how many goals will Quaresma score?" Hillwood asked with interest.

Calderon already knew the starting lineups of both sides, and couldn't help but sneer lightly, "I think, he can't get in any of them!" ”

Arsene Wenger has adopted a rotation strategy, although Quaresma is on the field, but it is indeed a second-tier line-up, and after the bloodbath away from Real Madrid, Wenger is not worried about Real Madrid making waves at the Emirates Stadium.

Capello, on the other hand, sent all the main players, and the two were contrasted, which is why Calderón thought Quaresma couldn't score.

"Yes, not necessarily!" Hillwood's smile was still hidden, making Calderon impatient.

And at this time, the on-field game has already begun.

After Real Madrid kicked off, they pressed heavily and launched a fierce attack on the Arsenal position, and Capello also knew that the outcome of the game did not matter, but Real Madrid must play their own football.

What if, what if there is a chance to turn the tables?

The thought went viral as Raul took the lead in the 23rd minute of the first half to score against Arsenal, as if they really didn't have a chance.

However, this thought, which had already gone crazy, disappeared without a trace after five minutes, because Quaresma scored.

Real Madrid's wing still has no way to limit Quaresma's play, even if Beckham puts more energy on defense, but Quaresma is still fearless, continuous sharp breakthroughs are like no one, if it is not for the bad wind, I am afraid it will not wait until now to break through the Real Madrid goal.

The score became 1:1, which was the most fatal blow for Real Madrid.

The most fatal blow was not the goal, but the killing of Real Madrid's hopes of a comeback.

The two-legged score match is based on the aggregate score, and now the score has become 1:1, which means that Real Madrid have to score four more goals and let Arsenal not score a single goal before they are eligible to play extra time with Arsenal.

As for winning against Arsenal, you'll have to score five more ......

"Look, I'm right!" Hillwood smiled at Calderon with a happy expression on his face.

Calderon's face darkened uncontrollably, and he even had a feeling that this goal alone could increase Hillwood's offer for Quaresma by 1,000w euros......

In fact, the suspense of the game was lost in the first leg, and returning to Arsenal's home stadium was just a passing scene!

Even if Real Madrid now dominates the Emirates Stadium, it is obviously impossible to win Arsenal by a big score.

Real Madrid did win the game, and the score of 3:1 was enough to make Real Madrid proud, but everyone can see how much effort Arsenal used.

Anyway, it would be good to eliminate Real Madrid, a game with the lowest consumption is what Arsenal really wants!

As for the home and away double against Real Madrid, it sounds good, but it doesn't make any real sense.

When the fans cheered that Arsenal had once again eliminated their opponents and advanced to the next round of the Champions League, Hillwood had already enthusiastically sent Calderon away, but Calderon's expression was always stiff.

"200 million euros, or 170 million euros plus Robinho! You'll be able to take Quaresma! ”

Hillwood's words still swirled in Calderon's mind, and although it sounded like a lion's mouth, Calderon was stunned, muttering and repeating the two numbers in his mouth.

......

Knocking out Real Madrid to advance to the quarter-finals, Arsenal once again showed their strength in front of everyone, and the defending champions' ambitions for the title were on full display from the beginning.

The media is almost overwhelmed by the praise of Arsenal, and there is no pressure to tout a few more words anyway.

Although Arsenal lost this game, no one was alarmist because everyone could see what kind of attitude Arsenal were facing this game.

When a team kills an opponent in just one round, isn't such an unbeatable performance not commendable?

However, because there is no shortage of other highlights in this round of Champions League matches, Arsenal have not been able to dominate the headlines all the time.

The quarterfinals of the Champions League are freshly baked!

Chelsea eliminated Porto without suspense;

Bayern also beat Celtic comfortably;

Lyon and PSV Eindhoven played hard, and in the end they were lucky to advance;

Milan left Lille without any chances;

Manchester United also taught Roma a good lesson, Manchester United gave Roma a big score, which is more shocking than Arsenal playing Real Madrid;

Inter lost to Valencia, who performed better, but the two teams fought hard in the game, and even if Valen advanced, they could only meet the rest of the schedule with a remnant;

And the most thrilling is the big battle between Liverpool and Barcelona, last season's Champions League runners-up and last season's Champions League winner played a thunderous game, and in the end, Liverpool eliminated Barcelona by virtue of away goals.

Compared to the fall of Real Madrid, it is clear that the closer contest will attract more attention.

At this point, the quarterfinals of the Champions League are produced, and what will follow immediately is the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern, Lyon, Valencia, AC Milan.

This is the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel, not for anything else, the Premier League actually four teams all advanced to the quarterfinals, occupying half of the country, which is an unprecedented feat.

The strength of the Premier League has long been an indisputable fact, even if their UEFA points are not as good as La Liga, and even behind Serie A, but the UEFA points are based on the past five seasons, and the last two seasons are the period when the Premier League is strong.

Not surprisingly, at the end of this season, the Premier League will definitely be able to reach the top of the UEFA league rankings.

England fans are proud, they have the hottest market, the most promoted market, the most profitable players, and now they are about to reach the top of the list, and they have simply dominated European football.

However, compared to the debate about who is better in the league, it is clear that the draw for the quarterfinals is more eye-catching, and the result of the draw will not only determine who your next opponent is, but also determine what your road to winning the championship is!

Fans feverishly predicted the quarterfinals, and under countless results, various historical grievances were also picked up, and public opinion was hot.

Quaresma trained every day, but he was overwhelmed by the pervasive harassment of the reporters, so he had to open his mouth for an interview.

Reporters from several media outlets sat in a circle, and although the occasion was not very formal, Quaresma didn't mind, and he just wanted the press assistants to take photos with as little flash as possible.

"Who's your most anticipated opponent?" Thought the reporter first asked Quaresma a question.

Quaresma did not hesitate to blurt out his own answer to this question.

"Barcelona!"

The reporters looked at each other and almost collapsed.

Dear, Barcelona didn't make it to the quarterfinals!

Looking at the reporters' dog-like expressions, Quaresma couldn't help but laugh, don't you think this joke is funny?

"Well, let's not talk about who the most anticipated opponent is, my biggest regret is that Barcelona was not able to break into the quarterfinals, so Arsenal has no chance to meet Barcelona, I can't pour a few Barcelona, I'm very sorry!"

The reporters have a "I know" expression, Quaresma and Barcelona's grievances are simply the most talked about topic in world football now, Quaresma once again pulled Barcelona out and whipped the corpse, it is estimated that the fans will have another lively topic.

"I'd be happy if I met Milan, but I'd rather meet Milan in the final because I would have had a better time winning!"

Quaresma took Milan out again, and it was clear that he also had a grudge against him.

"Oh, yes, I don't want to run into a Premier League team, I have to meet at least twice a season in the league, so I don't have to go to the Champions League to win or lose, it's going to make me tired!"

Quaresma went on to say that he wasn't joking, he really didn't want to run into a Premier League team.

Unlike the round of 16 draw, there is no principle of avoidance between the top eight and two teams from the same league can meet each other.

The top four of the Premier League have all reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, if purely according to the probability, the probability of Arsenal drawing to meet the Premier League team is 3/7, close to half of the probability, which is really not small!

Quaresma really doesn't want to touch the Premier League team, it's not interesting to play in the nest, and it's even more exciting to play the giants of other leagues!

And in comparison, the Premier League teams are also tough bones, but the other four quarter-final teams look better to bully.

Lyon's hard power is not good;

Valen was punished for fighting, and the entire lineup was crippled;

Although Bayern is tenacious, its overall strength is really unable to compete with the top giants;

Milan is not easy to deal with, but Arsenal will not be afraid of Milan.

Wouldn't it be nice to make it to the Final Four easily?

"And can you predict four matchups?" The reporters asked Quaresma again.

Quaresma didn't answer the question right away, because he also wanted to guess what UEFA thought.

The first thing to be sure is that UEFA certainly doesn't want the Premier League to win the top four, so there should be two teams in the Premier League coming together.

Of course, it is also possible that UEFA will create the gimmick that the Premier League may win the last four, but to be on the safe side, they will give Milan the weakest opponent in the Premier League to ensure that Milan can advance to the last four.

And there is no doubt that the weakest of the top four in the Premier League should be Liverpool, and Milan and Liverpool have the eternal stalk of Istanbul Night, which is absolutely eye-catching.

The rest is not easy to guess, if Quaresma can really grasp UEFA's ideas, then UEFA will definitely be sprayed to death.

"I want to see Milan and Liverpool face off!" Quaresma smiled: "Of course, it's best that the four teams in the Premier League don't meet, and if the Premier League can win the last four of the Champions League, that's the best!" ”

......

Quaresma's words quickly spread throughout the football world through the media, not to mention his ridicule of Barcelona, just predicting the matchup between Milan and Liverpool made Milan and Liverpool fans about to cry!

Milan doesn't want to touch Liverpool, and Liverpool doesn't want to touch Milan, although the grudge between the two is deep, but they both know each other's strength very well, and now it's not the final, why do you want to find yourself such a strong opponent?

In the quarter-finals, whether it is Lyon, Bayern or Valen, they are weaker than other opponents, so why can't they meet their easier opponents?

So the Milan fans and the Liverpool fans invariably stood on the same side, chanting "Quaresma, shut up!" They didn't want to be cursed by Quaresma's crow's beak.

The rest of the Premier League fans followed Quaresma's words and shouted the slogan "The Premier League wins the last four of the Champions League", if the Premier League really does it, it will definitely be the real domination of European football by the Premier League.

Winning the top four is not impossible!

Even Liverpool, the weakest of the Premier League semi-finals, is not without a chance of winning against Milan, the strongest of the remaining four.

The only question is whether UEFA will let the Premier League win the last four!

The result does not depend on strength, but on luck, on the draw.

As a result, the much-anticipated quarterfinals draw ceremony was held at UEFA headquarters, and the eyes of the whole world were also focused on it, affecting the hearts of countless fans.

......
