Chapter 78: It's Time to Show Real Skills

The next day, Porto only practiced tactics for a while at the rented training ground, and the rest of the time was spent doing adaptation training.

The same is true for training on the field the day before the race.

The main purpose of this is said to be to prevent tactical leaks.

Quaresma thinks it's a bit too much, where is there any secret to Porto's tactics, which is nothing more than high-intensity defense and quick counterattacks, at most more organized than those counter-attacking teams, and the fast attack is sharper, who doesn't know?

However, the opponent Caldas is a mysterious team for Porto, and Quaresma has not heard much of this team in his previous life, and he does not know what they are capable of.

Greece's victory in the European Championship was a big upset, while Caldas's lifting of the Copa Libertadores seems to be an even bigger upset.

Caldas, a small club from the Andean mountains, stunned the entire South American football scene by knocking out Brazilian duo Santos and Sao Paulo in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, and then beating defending champions Boca Juniors on penalties in the two-legged final.

If you compare the achievements of European football to Caldas, it is like a small town team in Eastern Europe that defeated Juventus, Real Madrid and Arsenal in quick succession to win the Champions League.

A dark horse that can't be more black!

Quaresma is really afraid that they will be hacked to the end, and then Porto will be hacked!

During the pre-game warm-up, Quaresma deliberately aimed at the opponent's warm-up half for a long time, just to find out if there were any stars he was familiar with in his previous life.

As a result, there was not a single one who could fight!

However, as soon as the game began, Quaresma knew that he was still underestimating the Copa Libertadores winning team.

Caldas played very unrestrained, with the characteristics of South American football, which made it a little difficult to adapt to in Porto.

In the 6th minute of the opening game, the opponent played a wave of attacking climax and broke through the Porto goal.

Caldas striker Denigris deftly brushed past Pepe after scoring from the edge of the penalty area, and suddenly got up with his feet to shoot coldly, Baia couldn't save, and the goal was lost.

No one would have thought that Porto would concede so early.

Porto have always been known for their defensive tenacity, conceding less than one goal per game this season, and facing Champions League opponents, the goal will not be easily lost, but they did not expect to encounter a crisis here.

It's not that the opponent's attack is terrible, it's just that their style of play Porto is a little uncomfortable, for example, just this goal, Denigris didn't have much of a good offensive opportunity, if he changed to a European player, he must have passed the ball to his teammates at this time.

However, Denigris did not do that, and instead relied on his excellent physical flexibility and personal ability to get rid of it, gain space to shoot, and then achieve it in one fell swoop.

Pepe wasn't experienced enough, so he was fooled and Porto conceded the goal.

However, before Porto could launch a counterattack, the opponent pressed up unreasonably, and actually scored again.

Pepe was unlucky today!

He had just been shaken by the opponent and conceded the goal, and now he stretched out his foot to block the opponent's shot, and Shengsheng turned the shot that missed into an own goal.

The whole monk was dumbfounded, and he almost didn't collapse!

At this time, the game has only started ten minutes, and Porto is already two goals behind.

You know, even if Porto faces Chelsea this season, they haven't fallen behind by two goals!

Some of the Porto fans who traveled with the team had only just been seated for a long time, and looking at the glaring scoreboard, they couldn't help but wonder if they had gone to the wrong stadium!

Quaresma was also a little confused, and the opponent's strength was not much stronger, why did he fall behind by two goals after such a while?

He's only touched the ball once in total!

It's kind of scary!

Quaresma's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at his opponent who was celebrating unbridledly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe he didn't know how the team came down from two goals down, but he did know how the team came to equalise.

Because, he's going to be serious!

The opponents are not strong enough to crush Porto, and may not even be as good as Porto, the second-rate side in Europe, so they are not qualified to celebrate as winners in front of Porto.

Who wins and who loses, it is still unknown!

At least for now, they're making Quaresma a little upset!

Even if you change to a strong force like Chelsea, Quaresma will not bear it, let alone a country team like yours.

Turning to walk back, Quaresma didn't see any depression or panic on his face, even cynical as always, but no one knew that a fire had been ignited in his heart, and it was burning at the moment.

Captain Costa was comforting Pepe, who was in a state of self-blame for scoring an own goal, when Quaresma stepped forward, pulled Costa away, and suddenly reached out to Pepe on the head.

"Look at your dejected appearance, with that crying nose, it's better to think about how to equalize, don't let me look down on you!" Quaresma pursed his lips and said sarcastically, "Didn't you say you wanted to become a devil's defender who would make the opponent's strikers weak when they saw it?" What's the matter, the devil guard has now become a point boy? ”

"How is that possible?" Pepe was so stimulated by Quaresma that it was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and suddenly jumped to her feet.

"Who has become a distribution boy? You wait, I promise to make them dare not be arrogant in front of me, see that I don't break their legs! ”

Quaresma sneered, turned and walked away, dropping a sentence, "Then I'll see how you behave!" ”

It is necessary to stimulate Pepe, otherwise Pepe will become a colander and will not be able to play in the rest of the game.

Looking at Pepe, who had recovered his vitality, captain Costa couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Quaresma is more suitable to be the captain than himself!" ”

After solving the problems in the back, it's time to think about how to score.

That's what Quaresma worries about the least!

The tactical discipline of South American teams is not comparable to that of European teams, especially Caldas's style of play, in Quaresma's view, after a swarm of attacks, the empty space left behind can be used as an airport, and it is not allowed to gallop at will?

Maybe the role of Quaresma in positional warfare is not so exaggerated, but when it comes to counterattacking, the current Quaresma is the number one in world football.

It's time to show off the real technology!

Let's just show you what I'm really capable of Quaresma!
