Chapter 40: Here's Your Chance

Drogba scored, it seemed to be quite easy, and Pepe, who was as thin as a chicken in front of Drogba, naturally became the background board of the elephant king.

Quaresma looked at Drogba, who was imposing but still had a simple smile on his face, and he didn't know what kind of expression to show.

In his previous life, he still admired Africa very much, and such a pure and powerful center forward, especially with such top strength and super crushing ability, has become more and more rare in world football.

But now as an opponent, witnessing Drogba's demeanor on the court, this is more depressing.

Against Jose Mourinho's side, it is not alarmist to say that if you are already behind, then the chances of an equaliser are slim.

Especially this Chelsea team in front of us is the most typical representative of tough football.

Quaresma is not the only one who has been lost, but Porto's players have all fallen into a low mood.

Once when Jose Mourinho led them, they were invincible;

But now that Mourinho is an opponent, will they be able to beat Jose Mourinho's side?

This question has left everyone in silence because the answer will make them feel powerless.

Chelsea celebrated goals at home and the rise of the Blues has become the hottest topic in continental football, and now they are on the verge of knocking out the European title.

Quaresma looked at Mourinho, whose expression was excited and rightfully presented, and then at Del Neri, whose brows were already twisted, and he felt for the first time that the gap between the manager and the manager could be so big.

If only Mourinho were the manager of Porto now!

It's all to blame on Abu, Ranieri, the tinkerer of the pot, did a good job last season, because Mao Fei didn't look down on others, so he had to fire them?

If Mourinho is still in charge of Porto, then with his excellent coaching ability, Quaresma is even confident of defending the Champions League with Mourinho.

But it really doesn't make sense to say this now, Porto is only a second-rate league giant, and it is just a springboard for Mourinho.

For yourself, why not!

......

After the game restarted, Chelsea were in a surge with a goal, and Porto had to fry.

Even Robben, who has been silent for a long time, has become active again, and it is conceivable how passive Porto will be now.

Quaresma is actively involved in defense, even if he can't contribute too much, but he is also a big living person, and his role is stronger than the obstacles when contacting, right?

Well, Quaresma's defense is a bunny-guard, and if a rabbit bumps into it, it can only mean that you are out of luck.

Of course, he didn't forget to observe the Chelsea backline from time to time when defending, moving from time to time to adjust his position and prepare for counter-attacks.

Who doesn't want to win?

Even if Porto are now passive to the extreme, with no hope of scoring at all, Quaresma will not give up.

Patience!

Wait patiently!

He may not have a chance to wait for 5 minutes, he may not have a chance to wait for 10 minutes, and he may even have no chance for the whole game, but as long as the opportunity appears, he must seize it firmly and not waste his preparation!

He didn't want to regret that he wasn't prepared when the opportunity came!

Finally, here's your chance!

Towards the end of the first half, when Porto were firmly pressed by Chelsea, Porto completed a difficult defence and had a good chance to counter-attack.

Bosingwa fended off Duff's breakaway, took the ball firmly and glanced up before Lampard pressed for it, his eyes instantly fixed on Quaresma, who had already launched the sprint.

Yes, Quaresma doesn't miss every opportunity that may come his way, and he doesn't hesitate to waste his energy in the sprints, believing that the opportunity will come.

Sure enough, it was an opportunity.

Without hesitation, Bosingwa played a long ball into the front of the pitch and into Quaresma's running path.

Chelsea were pressing at the back and were weak at the back, but Quaresma's side was not missing out, with Bridge on his right and Makelele behind him, and at the end of the defence, Gallas was on the lookout.

Very relieved!

Mourinho didn't believe Quaresma could stand out from the crowd of three defensive giants, so he looked relaxed.

"Maybe Quaresma is a good wide blaster, but obviously not up to the top winger, if he comes under him, then he can slowly develop him into a top winger!"

Mourinho thought.

However, in the next second, Mourinho's expression became solemn, his eyes were firmly fixed on Quaresma, and his slightly clenched hands showed his inner turmoil at the moment!

Quaresma moved!

Instead of using his speed to continue to dribble forward, he leaned on Bridge's left side, then bounced up when the ball hit the ground, and gently picked up the ball with his left foot, and the ball crossed Bridge's head like a rainbow in a beautiful arc.

Just as Bridge raised his head slightly to look at the ball overhead, Quaresma was already sliding like a loach and leaping across the back of Bridge's rush and cutting towards the spot where the ball landed.

Pick the ball!

Performing such a lightweight maneuver in a high-speed sprint showed Quaresma's physical flexibility and balance.

All the fans couldn't help but open their mouths wide and their faces were full of disbelief.

This ball is also incredible!

Flowing and agile to such an extent, is this a movement that a professional player can do?

Are you sure Quaresma didn't come from gymnastics?

However, all the exclamations are far from over, because the climax has just come at this moment.

Quaresma faced the ball that bounced up after landing and walked towards the middle, but Bridge reacted quickly, rushing up desperately to try to block Quaresma's path forward, not giving Quaresma a chance to attack the goal directly.

At this point, Gallas, the last man in the Chelsea defence, also rushed in from the opposite side, and he had the same purpose as Bridge, which was not to want Quaresma to take another step.

With the ball already in place and the ball bounced off the ground and not been controlled by Quaresma, no one would have thought that Quaresma would continue to pose a threat.

But at that moment, Quaresma had an idea, and poked his head forward violently, towards the point of the ball, regardless of whether he was acting like a king or not.

Point to the ball!

Quaresma shrank in the flash of lightning, dodged the impact of the two, and dodged past.

Bridge and Gallas didn't expect Quaresma to make such an unbelievable move, and they didn't have time to react, as they collided and fell to the ground at the same time.

Before they could hit the ground, they turned to look at Quaresma's back as they rushed towards the goal.
