Chapter 443: Paradox
"So, we've won!" Quaresma's words were loud and resolute.
Quaresma never said what he said he did, which no one would doubt.
However, even if Quaresma didn't say that, the Arsenal players felt their team had a better chance of winning.
Real Madrid is not as harmonious as it seems.
"It's really hard to be a big coach!" Thinking of this, Henry opened his mouth and sighed.
Every team is different from each team, just like Alex Ferguson is to Manchester United and Arsene Wenger is to Arsenal, their position is impossible to shake no matter what.
But in a giant club like Real Madrid, it is difficult for a manager to stay in office for a long time, or even become a godfather-level coach.
Capello is actually a big enough name, but he still doesn't get enough support in Real Madrid, so you can imagine how much pressure he has to bear to be the manager of Real Madrid.
Quaresma nodded, agreeing with Henry's statement, in fact, even if Capello led Real Madrid to regain the La Liga title in his previous life, he still had to get out of the way at the end of the season, and Real Madrid still couldn't escape the sad fate of the Champions League 16.
In the previous life, Real Madrid seemed to play Bayern, and was finally eliminated by Bayern and missed the top 8.
But the problem is that Bayern is still at a low ebb in this period, and there is no absolute competitiveness in the Champions League, and even Bayern in the low ebb period can't beat it, so it is conceivable what level Real Madrid is at.
"So, after you retire, are you quite a coach?"
Suddenly, Quaresma turned to Henry.
Henry was stunned, he didn't expect Quaresma to suddenly change the subject, let alone that he would pull the topic to himself, and it was a question that he barely thought about.
After a deep sigh, Henry replied in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Probably, yes!" ”
"I think it's going to be hard for me to leave football, even if I retire, it's the same, probably becoming a coach would be the best choice! Even if it's to teach children to play football! ”
Quaresma smiled slightly and didn't speak again, because he knew that after Henry retired in his previous life, he did become a coach, and after Arsene Wenger left the Emirates Stadium, Henry's call for entering the Emirates Stadium was the highest, but unfortunately the fans' wishes were not realized.
As for whether Thierry Henry will actually become Arsenal manager, following in Arsene Wenger's footsteps and leading Arsenal back on, who has the answer?
Well, in fact, this is a kind of beautiful expectation, like waiting for the dawn in the dark, the last glimmer of hope.
......
On the day of the game, in the evening, Arsenal had already arrived at the Bernabeu to warm up.
I have to admit that Real Madrid's heritage is undoubtedly evident at this time, and the Bernabeu, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is full, even if it is the newly built Emirates Stadium, there are not so many seats.
Real Madrid fans sang songs, cheered for the team, and shouted the names of the players, even Higuain, a young player who had just joined, was loved by the fans.
I have to say that if you really have a good enough level, then it will be a pleasure to play at Real Madrid.
But if you don't play anything, it's better not to come to Real Madrid, because you can drown in the drooling of the fans.
Look no further than Emerson, the Brazilian midfielder who was brought to the Bernabeu by Fabio Capello from the Old Lady and proved himself useless in just three games, boos from the fans every time he played.
Cannavaro, the super-defender who led Italy to almost the World Cup in the summer, is not as good as Sendros and is not at all welcomed by the fans.
Anyway, Real Madrid's fans love and hate clearly, don't talk about any fame, after the formation of the Galaxy Battleship, they have never seen any big names, so let's use strength to speak!
Therefore, Real Madrid is the most eager for Quaresma, if Quaresma can really join Real Madrid, then half of Madrid will be earthquake-by the fans cheering!
Quaresma and his teammates were doing a simple warm-up, and at this time, the unthinkable happened, he actually saw a huge TIFO in the stands, without any pattern on it, only two lines of words.
"Quaresma, welcome to the Bernabeu!"
TIFO is a feature of La Liga, where graphics and slogans are often used against opponents, but this is not allowed in the Premier League.
If there is a TIFO attacking Arsenal in the stands of Real Madrid, then Quaresma will not be surprised at all.
But now that he has become the protagonist of TIFO, he is a little incomprehensible.
Welcome yourself to the Bernabeu?
Do you think you're not bad enough to lose?
Or, what's the deeper meaning of this?
After a little thought, Quaresma probably had the answer.
I'm afraid that Real Madrid fans are looking forward to joining Real Madrid and coming to the Santiago Bernabeu, right?
That's what it means!
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I have to say, Real Madrid fans are still quite interesting!
In the past year, countless people have turned into lobbyists to persuade themselves to join Real Madrid, and it is impossible for Real Madrid fans to be unaware of such news, and the Spanish media will report about themselves at every turn, especially when he becomes the new double footballer of the year.
In this way, it is not surprising that Real Madrid fans expect from themselves!
Perhaps, in their opinion, the best club has the best players.
Real Madrid is the best club, Quaresma is the best player, isn't this a natural match!
However, Quaresma is still a little incomprehensible, at least in his previous life, he did not see Real Madrid so eager for any player.
In fact, after having Cristiano Ronaldo, does Real Madrid need other superstars to support the scene?
In my memory, Real Madrid fans are very eager for De Gea, but under Navas's competitive performance, this desire has gradually faded, because they feel that with Navas, they don't need De Gea.
Now, Quaresma can feel the desperate desire of the Real Madrid fans, like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for days without a drop of water, and he is a glass of holy water.
Well, he understands the mood of the Real Madrid fans!
Since winning the Champions League in the 01-02 season and La Liga in the 02-03 season, Real Madrid has never won a decent honor!
In total, these dark days have lasted for four seasons!
For the proud Real Madrid, this is simply the most unbearable thing to look back on.
While Florentino's superstar policy allows fans to see the superstars put on a spectacular show at the Bernabeu, nothing is for nothing without a championship.
This was the most fundamental reason for Florentino's resignation.
However, understanding is understanding, but Quaresma does not think that the spontaneous actions of the fans will have any effect.
It is likely that the clubs will not care about the demands of the fans, which is the most common phenomenon in world football;
Even if the club and the fans stand on the same side and actively launch an offensive against the players who are favored by the fans, it still depends on whether the players are willing to come!
If it's just pure wishful thinking, then I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense at all.
Of course, Quaresma is still very pleased that Real Madrid fans are looking forward to him so much, regardless of any other factors, this recognition alone is enough for him to be proud.
couldn't help but wave to the fans in the stands, regardless of whether the two sides are in a confrontational state now, he has to express his gratitude to the fans for their recognition.
Henry saw Quaresma's movements, opened his mouth to say something, but made no sound, and finally closed his mouth.
The Real Madrid fans let out a deafening cheer, and no matter what, Quaresma's response was thrilling for them.
If Quaresma did come, it would be perfect!
Real Madrid players couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw this scene, even if they were Real Madrid players, they hadn't gotten such a big cheer, but Quaresma, an opponent player, could get the courtesy of the fans, who could not change their mentality?
Raul smiled slightly, as if he didn't care, as the captain of Real Madrid, he actually knew the mentality of the fans very well.
Even if it's himself, why don't you want Quaresma to come?
Like Thierry Henry, Raul, as the leader of a team, no longer cares too much about personal gains and losses, and he wants to make the team achieve better results and lift more trophies.
In fact, he has already made a great sacrifice.
During the Galaxy Battleship period, the arrival of one superstar after another led to the decline of Raul's tactical status, and the arrival of Ronaldo and Owen made Raul have to give up the position of striker, play as a striker or simply move to the wing.
But for the sake of Real Madrid, for the sake of his beloved team, Raul has no complaints, he just hopes that the team is better!
However, it turns out that the superstar policy does not last, and Real Madrid have not tasted the title for several seasons.
If Real Madrid can really bring in Quaresma, then the improvement of Real Madrid's strength is by no means a little bit, even if he has to give up his position when the time comes, Raul doesn't care at all.
Although Raul previously thought that no star could refuse Real Madrid's invitation, now he found that it seems that Quaresma is not very interested in joining Real Madrid, and this is what makes Real Madrid embarrassed.
I couldn't help but look at Quaresma, the guy who always had a cynical smile on his face, playing with his teammates, as if there really wasn't any psychological turmoil.
This made Raul can't help but think of when he played against Quaresma three seasons ago, when Quaresma was still at Barcelona, just a stunned young man with a newborn calf, only showing off his skills with the ball on the side, although the movement at his feet was extremely fancy, but more flashy and unrealistic, not a little threat.
In just three seasons, this little guy who used to only play tricks has become a double footballer, and even Raul has to sigh that Quaresma's talent is really strong.
Raul seems to have seen the scene when Quaresma donned the Real Madrid shirt and led Real Madrid to glory.
However, after returning to the helpless reality, Raul could only shake his head helplessly, because he didn't know when this day would come.
Perhaps, it may never come!
......
"Don't worry!" Walking out of the locker room again, Henry put his arm around Quaresma's shoulders and said to Quaresma seriously: "I will definitely pass you as much as possible in today's game, if you can blow Torres up, then Real Madrid will not be able to make any waves in this game!" ”
Quaresma's smile remained cynical, "You think I can't do it?" ”
Henry smiled dumbly when he saw Quaresma's confident look, indeed, Quaresma must be able to do it.
Even the top full-back in world football has no way to stop Quaresma's play in front of Quaresma, and today Real Madrid is mainly defending Quaresma, who is actually a youth player, if Quaresma can't beat him, it can be directly returned to FIFA the trophy of the World Footballer.
He can't afford to lose that man!
Not to mention anything else, even if Real Madrid and Arsenal are evenly matched in other positions, the confrontation between Quaresma and Torres alone is enough to make Real Madrid fall into the abyss.
The successive absences of Salgado and Sicinho forced Capello to send Torres, a young player, which was also Capello's helpless move.
If Torres is given a more forgiving debut platform, then Torres may not be able to grow well.
But now the serious problem is that when Torres first enters the senior team, he will have to face the big demon king Quaresma, if Quaresma is really high, he will directly beat Torres to death if he doesn't get it right, and he will play a psychological shadow, and he will never recover.
It's like what Drogba did to Senderos, until now, Senderos still has a psychological shadow, and he has never been able to break through the shackles, and he is about to sink.
Don't be for Quaresma can't do it, such a fluke mentality will kill people!
"Okay, I know you're going to be able to blow him up, but it doesn't mean you're scoring too many goals, is it? So can you give me some assists? Henry smiled and smiled a little embarrassedly, because that was what he really meant.
Indeed, if Quaresma blows Torres out on this side, it makes sense no matter how he plays next, and if he can send a few more dangerous passes to Henry, then Henry has a better chance of finding the back of the net.
Even if he doesn't care about personal honors, if he can score more goals, how can Henry not want to?
Quares smiled sheepishly, such a twisted Henry was also quite interesting.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pass the ball to you, I think the current Cannavaro and Elgra will definitely not be able to guard against you!"
Quaresma gave Henry an affirmative answer, which, of course, was what he really had in mind.
Neither Cannavaro nor Elguera are at their peak, and even Cannavaro can't play as a first-class defender right now, and I'm afraid they really can't do anything against a Henry who is in his prime.
Quaresma wasn't alone anyway, he and Henry formed a golden twin gun, and in the face of any opponent, he had the confidence to destroy their defense.
In the players' tunnel, the players of the two teams are familiar with each other, and they are already busy blowing each other's business, but Quaresma stood aside and did not come forward to talk, on the one hand, he was really unfamiliar with the opponent, on the other hand, he was really afraid that Raul would suddenly say "Do you want to come to the Bernabeu?" ”。
Soon, the players of both teams walked into the stadium under the guidance of the referee, and the Bernabeu also cheered at this moment, and the incomparable atmosphere made Quaresma have a feeling of blood boiling.
Isn't that what the competition is all about?
When guessing the side, Raul won, so he picks the venue first.
But Quaresma smiled at this time, and smiled brightly.
Just what he wants!
He just wants to kick off first!
If he couldn't give Real Madrid a hard blow at the opening at the Bernabeu, Quaresma would have regretted it.
With a smile of great confidence, Quaresma stepped on the ball, but his eyes were already firmly focused on Real Madrid's goal.
That's what I'm aiming for!
First goal, score!
Quaresma clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind in his heart!
The referee blew the whistle, and the pinnacle duel between Arsenal and Real Madrid officially began.
Playing the ball to Thierry Henry, Quaresma slashed into the Real Madrid half like a bolt of lightning, sharp and sharp.
did not rush to the side, but like a dagger, straight from the middle to Real Madrid's chest, without any detours, without any cover.
Opening Raid!
Quaresma has already used his furious gesture to tell everyone what he is going to do!
Rushing out of the centre circle, he has already rubbed shoulders with Higuain and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and perhaps, the little smoker and the king of the penalty area have not yet realized what Quaresma is going to do.
At this time, after Henry and Xiaofa passed, they did not continue to reverse the ball in the backfield, but sent the ball directly forward to the feet of Quaresma.
It was enough tacit understanding for Henry to understand Quaresma's thoughts, although he felt that Quaresma was very bold, but Henry still did not hesitate because he wanted to go crazy with Quaresma.
At this time, Quaresma was already standing in front of Guti, half-turned and grabbed the ball, so all eyes were focused on Quaresma, and at that moment, he was the center of the whole world.
Real Madrid's two midfielders are Guti and Raul, Raul is the forward position, and he has just rushed to the front, so Guti is left alone in the middle to face Quaresma.
Guti was in a tight position, he knew very well Quaresma's explosive power, although he didn't know why Quaresma suddenly went straight to the middle, but if he took it lightly, he would definitely be easily passed by Quaresma.
But caution has proven to be not necessarily useful in the face of fearsome opponents.
Even though Guti had tried his best to block Quaresma in defense, he still lost his center of gravity in front of Quaresma's deceptive feints, and then was easily broken through by Quaresma.
After breaking through Guti, Quaresma galloped to the front of the Real Madrid penalty area, and it was not until this time that Real Madrid fans erupted in exclamation, because they found out that Quaresma was actually about to threaten!
The last line of defence is actually two Real Madrid centre-backs, and for Quaresma, he has actually set up the Italian cannon!
Who would not have thought that Quaresma would rush to the front of the Real Madrid penalty area so easily, this is the area where Quaresma is really threatening, whether it is to continue to break through, or to get straight to the feet, it is not so easy to keep an intact stock within his range of strikes.
Quaresma seized the opportunity of this surprise attack on the kick-off, directly separated Real Madrid's three lines, completed this raid, and caught Real Madrid off guard.
The fans watching the game in front of the TV couldn't help but bow to Quaresma, don't look at Quaresma just broke through Guti alone, and did not perform any good performances of long-distance running and even passing several people, but the threat was real, and his surprise attack actually made Real Madrid extremely embarrassed.
Now, the crisis is really here!
Henry is not far from Quaresma's side, Ljungberg on the right is also sprinting at high speed, and there is Xiaofa behind him, even though Quaresma is in front of Real Madrid's complete defence, but Arsenal still used their fast attack to form a surprise attack, and the number of attackers is not less than the number of defenders.
If it weren't for Beckham's quick reaction and quick return to defense, I'm afraid Arsenal would have formed a 4-on-4 situation by now.
But even so, Real Madrid fans still feel a thrill and they don't want to be beaten by Arsenal at the beginning of the game.
Quaresma couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, his plan succeeded, and next, can anyone stop him?
Three steps and two steps to the penalty area line, glanced sideways at Henry, and it was this look that made Cannavaro have to pay attention to Henry, originally he didn't dare to let Henry empty, in terms of threat, Henry is definitely worse than Vanney.
Elgra, on the other hand, pressed towards Quaresma, ready to intercept and block Quaresma, he is already Real Madrid's last line of defense, if he can't block Quaresma, then it is undoubtedly unwise to pin hope that Casillas can turn the tide.
Do you want to put a shovel?
A thought crossed Elgra's mind, but it immediately flashed again, it was not a wise choice to shovel Quaresma here.
Even if this ball can't be stopped, Real Madrid will not have no chance, but if he is sent off because of this tackle, then Real Madrid really has no chance.
However, just when Elgra was hesitating how to defend Quaresma, Quaresma had already made the first move!
After smashing the ball with his right foot, he made a powerful shot, but when Elgra tried to block with his outstretched foot, Quaresma quickly changed his center of gravity and dunked the ball to the left side, while leaning forward as if to break through from here.
Elgra reacted quickly, and quickly retracted his feet and changed his center of gravity to intercept Quaresma, for his reaction, Elgra was very proud, because he felt that if he changed to someone else, he was afraid that Quaresma had broken through at this time.
However, it turned out that Elgra was only a little better than the rest of his mind, and when Quaresma changed direction again and dunked the ball to the right side of his body, Elgra could no longer keep up with Quaresma's movements, and could only watch Quaresma dribble past his own defence.
The successive shifts of centre of gravity were completed in a flash of light, and Quaresma broke through the last of Real Madrid's defence with his swift movement and entered the penalty area, leaving only Casillas on the goal-line, ready to attack.
The Bernabeu Stadium was about to riot, and who would have thought that Quaresma would be going to go solo at the beginning of the game?
Real Madrid's defense is all-eating?
It was so easy for Quaresma to break through the past and face the goalkeeper, if it was a little darker, it would be said that the Real Madrid players were involved in gambling!
In fact, not only Real Madrid, but also Arsenal fans, did not react too much, this surprise came so suddenly, they were not even ready.
On the field, Casillas faced Quaresma and had to abandon the goal, do his best to block Quaresma, and can't let Quaresma swagger and send the ball into the goal!
But even he himself knew that Quaresma's one-handed ball could not be stopped at all, and his nickname was San Cassie, but he really had nothing sacred.
Quaresma, of course, did not have the idea of fighting with Casillas, and after shaking Casillas cleanly, he smashed the ball and changed direction, dodged Cassie's block, and then sent the ball into the Real Madrid goal without suspense in the wailing of Real Madrid fans.
At that moment, the Bernabeu fell again!
Quaresma spread his arms and soared excitedly, neither Henry nor Ljungberg could catch up with Quaresma's speed, and could only follow Quaresma, celebrating the goal all the way.
Quaresma was excited!
It's not about how wonderful the goal is, or how important it is!
He's just enjoying the thrill of scoring goals, that's all!
Score goal after goal, conquer stadium after stadium, and lift trophy after trophy.
This goal is very simple, right?
Quaresma is actually a very simple person, so he can keep moving towards his goal.
Of course, this goal was also very exciting, although he did not practice the good play of several people, but Quaresma seized the hole in Real Madrid's opening position, and the dagger was like a dagger straight into the opponent's heart.
In any opponent, I am afraid that there is no way to stop Quaresma without defense.
With this goal, this game is stable for Arsenal!
The Real Madrid fans on the opening stage screamed in disbelief, wailing, as if they had experienced an apocalyptic panic, they really couldn't accept the terrible reality in front of them.
They are already mentally prepared, maybe they may not be Arsenal's opponents in this game, after all, the strength of the arsenal has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But the gap between them isn't that big, is it?
It's unbelievably big!
Losing a goal at the beginning, and even some Real Madrid fans just entered the stadium before they had time to sit down, and saw the scene of the team conceding the goal, which is simply the saddest thing in life.
Real Madrid fans can't help but want to ask Quaresma, we welcomed you so much before the game, did you just say hello to us with a goal?
Raul looked at Quaresma, who was celebrating with his teammates, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.
Before he had even touched the ball, or even before he had run more than 10 yards, Quaresma had already scored, was he really that invincible?
Perhaps, it is precisely because of such unstoppability that Quaresma will become the target of Real Madrid, but now, he doesn't want Quaresma to be so strong, this is simply a paradox!
......
