After playing Luxembourg, the entire Portuguese national team flew to Russia to prepare for the away match against the woolly bears.

Speaking of which, Quaresma originally thought that Russia would be the strongest team in the group other than Portugal, but he was wrong, as it stands, it is quite difficult for Russia to even compete for second place in the group, and Slovakia has performed better than Russia.

Of course, Quaresma doesn't care at all who will finish second in the group, anyway, Portugal will definitely finish first in the group, there is no doubt at all.

However, Scolari chose to rotate in this game, putting Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, and the starting wing-backs were Figo and Simao.

This is normal, even if the players fight for the country is justified, but the national team must also properly consider the interests of the club, the schedule is very close, the players are not far away to return to China to participate in the war, if the national team situation is urgent, then the players are desperate to understand, but if the national team qualifies nine times out of ten, and the main star of the dead grass, it is a bit too much.

Therefore, Scolari's use of a rotation strategy can be regarded as an explanation for the club.

However, judging from Scolari's current line-up, it seems that he is more inclined to put Quaresma and Ronaldo in the main squad at the same time, and in this way, Figo may have to sacrifice himself to a certain extent.

Maybe Figo also felt the pressure, so he was very active at the beginning of the game, not at all like the 33-year-old veteran, dribbling through crosses, all sharp, and even a very threatening inward shot in the first half, which was not lost at the peak of his career, as if the world footballer who could do everything on the wing was back.

The Portuguese fans watching the match in front of the TV were all very excited, as a representative figure of Portuguese football, Figo brought them too much joy and glory, and they hoped that Figo could always play the best football.

However, Scolari standing on the sidelines is even more troublesome, in the Portuguese national team, he does not have to worry about no one available, he will only struggle because he does not know which player to use, because there are too many outstanding stars in Portugal.

In the first half, Portugal led the home team Russia 1-0, and Pauletta was not very efficient in scoring goals for the national team, but today he opened the meat.

It's just that, speaking of Portugal, Portugal does not occupy much advantage on the field, Russia has always adhered to its simple and direct style of play, and has not compromised in the face of any opponent, and the impact is extremely strong, and the ball was hit in front of the Portuguese goal several times in the first half through rapid passing, if it were not for the poor footwork of the striker, I am afraid that Portugal is now lagging behind.

In order to ensure the victory, not long after the start of the second half, Scolari sent Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo on the field at the same time, Simão went off, but Figo stayed on the pitch and played as a striker.

In order to arrange the three wingers to play at the same time, Scolari also took great pains, and letting Figo play in the middle was his attempt, maybe this is a breakthrough!

Scolari was expecting a surprise, in fact, a surprise came, but it was a little different from what he had imagined.

Figo appeared in the middle, but Quaresma and Ronaldo played at the same time, and directly brought Portugal's attack to the two wings, competing with each other, you score a goal, then I will also score one, even if you don't score, you have to assist one, anyway, you must never fall behind.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Ronaldo broke through on the right side, and the fancy pass made the Russian woolly bear only block with a foul, but Ronaldo quickly got up after falling to the ground, continued to rush forward with the ball, and rushed forward with the offensive principle, the referee did not blow the whistle, and directly signaled the game to continue, and then Ronaldo cut into the penalty area and broke the Russian goal with a burst.

Ronaldo scored, Quaresma was naturally unwilling to watch Ronaldo's performance, the next attack, the left side also contributed a wonderful breakthrough, and then cut inside with his right foot, and the instep of the inside kicked a big arc, and the ball grazed the far post and flew into the goal.

The score has become 3:0.

Figo didn't get the ball on two consecutive attacks, just ran after them, and while he should have been happy about the team's goal, he found himself unhappy.

And the opponent Russian players are more like beeping dogs, I thought that the Russian substitution adjustment was going to be a little more restrained, but I didn't expect that the two big devils were replaced and opened the bow left and right, and they were directly stupid.

And that's not all, if you don't let yourself vent enough, it's really in vain.

In the 82nd minute, after breaking through on the left side, Quaresma suddenly changed direction and used the outside of his right foot to make an arc cross, the strange arc directly made the opponent's goalkeeper return in vain, and Postiga at the back point picked up the leak and stabbed the goal, and the score on the field has become 4:0.

Is this the rhythm of torture to kill Russia?

It may be that Portugal is not an opponent in terms of fighting and beating people, but at the peak of Portuguese football, it is really not difficult to clean up Russia.

Quaresma was satisfied and felt that it was almost over, but Ronaldo on the right side still did not give up, Quaresma had assists in the account, he didn't have it yet, he was not convinced.

As a result, Ronaldo continued to stir up trouble on the right side, stirring up the Russian defense line forever, and the angry furry bear fullback almost kicked Ronaldo directly into the ambulance.

But what made Ronaldo even more depressed was that Quaresma seemed to have better luck than him, and after another breakthrough on the left, Quaresma slipped the bottom line and made an inverted triangle pass, giving Figo a nanny ball, and the Portuguese captain smiled and rewrote the score to 5:0.

Portugal defeated Russia in a big way.

"You're in luck!" At the end of the game, Ronaldo and Quaresma walked off the pitch and muttered.

Quaresma rolled her eyes, you're too competitive!

But maybe it is this competitive spirit that can make Ronaldo always maintain the most vigorous fighting spirit and never admit defeat, which may be an advantage.

Thinking of this, Quaresma couldn't help but start reflecting as well.

Compared with Ronaldo, he may be more lazy, if the team is in a disadvantageous situation, he will definitely not keep it, but if he faces a weak team or in the case of the game has lost suspense, it is difficult to guarantee how much fighting spirit he can show.

It may not seem like it affects the big picture, but in reality, when you are used to being lazy and may need to give your all one day, you are not used to being so desperate.

may have been Ronaldo's role model in terms of football skills, but now Quaresma feels that Ronaldo should be his role model in terms of eternal dedication to goals.
