In the end, in Gelsenkirchen, the Portuguese second team defeated Mexico with a score of 3:0 and advanced to the round of 16 with a proud record of winning all three games!

Quaresma sat on the bench for 90 minutes, Scolari didn't give Quaresma a minute of playing time, even if it was a substitution, it was just a substitution of those marginal players who usually don't have the opportunity to play, so that they could feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, otherwise when the World Cup ended, it would be embarrassing to find that there were still players who did not get the opportunity to play?

After the game, the Portuguese fans in the stands cheered as if they had lifted the Hercules Cup, and for Portugal, it was a celebration of victory.

Quaresma was very calm, because the result of the game was not important, and the victory over Mexico did not seem to be big news, Mexico was not as strong as Portugal, and it was normal to win them.

Although he felt a little regret that he didn't get a goal out of the game, it was also a good choice to be able to rest a game and get back to his best, at least for now Quaresma feels that he has a lot of energy in his body and is waiting to abuse his opponent in the knockout rounds.

After the game, Scolari was praised to the sky, he is the real protagonist, the old man was so stinky that he couldn't close his mouth!

In the last World Cup, Scolari led Brazil to seven consecutive victories to win the Hercules Cup, and coupled with Portugal's three rounds of group stage victories, Scolari has won an unprecedented 10 consecutive World Cup wins, which is something that no super manager has ever done!

Since there is nothing to say about the game itself, then we can only look for the flashpoint from Scolari, who seems to really want to lead Portugal to the championship under the bombardment of public opinion in the media.

If he can lead two different teams to the World Cup, then Scolari will become a legend in football.

However, Scolari, the old man, still doesn't pay enough attention, and how to create a little contradiction is what reporters have to think about.

Where is the contradiction?

It seems that it can only be a fuss from Quaresma!

Quaresma scored 4 goals in two group games, making it clear that he was going to compete for the World Cup Golden Boot, but Scolari just pressed Quaresma on the bench in the last group game and didn't give him a minute of playing time.

Other giant teams, if they take rotation after locking the qualifying place in advance, usually do not replace the main scorer, which can be regarded as giving their subordinates a chance to compete for the golden boot.

But Scolari is not close at all, and Quaresma can be willing?

As a result, pieces of news about the outbreak of conflicts between Scolari and Quaresma were so freshly released, and for a while, it seemed that the Portuguese dressing room was really smoky, the relationship between the coach and the players was contradictory, and the infighting was serious.

Scolari didn't expect that a normal tactical arrangement would be interpreted by the media in this way, whether he and Quaresma have a tacit understanding!

However, before the Portuguese team could clarify the rumors of infighting, someone grabbed the headlines and suppressed the rumors of Scolari Quaresma's suspected contradictions.

Next door, Dutch coach Van Basten and the team's number one star Ruud van Nistelrooy are really at odds!

Quaresma didn't expect the situation to develop like this!

Is the Netherlands going to cut itself off from the world?

Other teams are afraid that too many explosions will affect the team, but the Netherlands has no explosions and has to do something to create their own explosions!

The match between the Netherlands and Argentina is over, and the two teams are still tied, so Portugal's next knockout opponent is the Netherlands!

Van Basten publicly blasted Ruud van Nistelrooy, "I'm very unhappy with Ruud van Nistelrooy's performance, he should contribute more to the team. ”

Indeed, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored just one goal in three group games, which was a bit embarrassing for the king of the small penalty area who started every game.

Even Van Basten claimed that Van Nistelrooy would not be included in the starting list in the knockout round, and he would replace Ruud van Nistelrooy with Kuyt.

After such a toss, no one cared about the so-called contradiction between Quaresma and Scolari, which made Quaresma a little crying and laughing!

I actually had the time to be robbed of the headlines again!

But it's okay to save yourself the trouble and focus more on preparing for the game, and then let's get past the Netherlands first!

In a few days, the group stage was all over, the qualifying teams were completely determined, and the post-match schedule was clear and clear.

Portugal are in the bottom half of the bracket and will face the Netherlands in the round of 16, and if they can eliminate the Netherlands, then the winner of the round of eight will be between England and Ecuador;

Once they reach the semi-finals, Portugal is likely to face France, led by Zidane, or five-star Brazil, and the probability of Spain, also in the bottom half, winning back-to-back victories over France and Brazil is too low;

As for the first half, don't pay too much attention, after all, if you want to meet, you can only wait until the final.

Among them, the biggest probability of entering the final in the first half of the zone will be the old powerhouse Italy, after all, they were the final champions of this World Cup in their previous life, as for the host Germany and the Pampas Eagle Argentina, in front of the experienced Lippi, it is difficult to do so.

So, if Portugal wants to win the title, the next path to take is this: the Netherlands→ England→ France→ Italy → the Hercules Cup

From Gelsenkirchen to Nuremberg, the city where the last-16 knockout will take place.

Fortunately, Germany's territory is not large, and even if it is transferred between cities, it will not take too much time, otherwise it will be tiring to death Portugal if you change places with one shot.

After the first day of training at Nuremberg, the main goalkeeper Ricardo did not go to Quaresma to practice penalties again, and in his opinion, training with Quaresma was simply torture!

Quaresma worked in the gym for a while before returning to his room to rest, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep because of his energy.

Lying on the bed, Quaresma couldn't help but think about the upcoming race, and he always felt as if a weight was weighing on his heart, which made him a little confused.

If only he could use Baidu to search for things in his previous life, he must search this game to see what happened in the game.

The limited memory is not very reliable, he only knows that this game is hot, red and yellow cards are flying all over the sky, directly breaking the probability of playing cards in the World Cup, and at the same time vaguely remembers that it seems that Deco got a red card, whether Ronaldo ate a red card or was injured and went down, these memories have been blurred......

Just thinking about it makes me feel powerless!

If you really lose your vitality because of this game, then the road ahead will not be easy!

What's more, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions!

As long as there are no accidents, then you can still fly with Portugal in the later games.

But if you don't control your temper because the scene is too hot, and you are also sent off with a red card, then there is really nothing you can do!

Come to think of it, this is definitely something that is going to happen!

On the court, not everyone is so calm and sensible, and sometimes you are so nervous that you don't even know what you just did!

Otherwise, instigate yourself to make a wave?

No matter how fierce the conflict is, play dead yourself?

Made!

To be a turtle in order to win, it sounds good to endure humiliation, and to say that it is ugly, it is so bad!

After thinking about it for a long time, Quaresma didn't make a decision ruthlessly, tossing and turning, and he didn't know when he fell asleep!

When he woke up in the morning, Quaresma felt like he was in a daze, but Deco, who was in the same room with him, looked at Quaresma with a surprised expression.

Quaresma rubbed his unkempt hair, this expression of Deco, he was very familiar!

Usually when I look at a girl without clothes, I have this expression!

It was dark in front of him, and Quaresma quickly looked down for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he didn't sleep naked!

I couldn't help but stare at Deco angrily, I'm wearing clothes, do you look at a yarn?

"I never knew that you still have a habit of talking in your sleep?" Deco looked like he had discovered something remarkable, and said with a slight smugness.

Quaresma was stunned for a moment, did he talk in his sleep?

Damn, the identity of your own traverser has been revealed?

Then do you want to kill Deco first?

Knives, who sent me the blades last time?

But just when Quaresma couldn't help but want to copy the knife, Deco continued to speak: "I slept later than you last night, and I listened to you keep saying 'Deco red card and Ronaldo OUT' or something, and a bunch of swear words, did you dream that I got a red card?" ”

Quaresma let out a sigh of relief, if only his identity had not been revealed.

"Well, I dreamed that you got a red card, so you have to be careful in the game and don't be impulsive!" Quaresma borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and persuaded Deco to take advantage of the situation.

Deco scratched his head and didn't take Quaresma's words too seriously, although he played in the midfield position and often had defensive tasks, but he played so smartly, how could he easily eat cards?

......

The knockout round began, the atmosphere became more and more hot, and the World Cup really entered the most attractive moment.

On the first day of the knockout round, hosts Germany beat Sweden to reach the last eight first, followed by Argentina and Mexico, and the two winners will meet in the quarter-finals.

The next day, it was Portugal's turn to play.

By the time the bus arrived at the stadium, the other game had already been decided, with England beating Ecuador by a single goal to reach the last eight.

In other words, regardless of whether Portugal wins or the Netherlands advances, their opponent in the round of 8 has already been decided, which is England.

However, this game is more important in front of us, if you can't get through this round, why talk about touching the Three Lions!

In today's game, Scolari can be said to have played his main role, and there were no changes in the starting line-up and the second game against Iran, obviously not staying any longer.

The only difference is that Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo switched places, with Quaresma returning to the right and Ronaldo coming to the left.

Amid the cheers of the fans of the two teams in the stands, the two teams began to warm up before the game, and at this time, Quaresma was already a little unable to hold back the excitement in his heart!

This faint excitement was like a spark, burning the infinite blood in Quaresma's heart, and he was about to lose control of his legs!

"Calm down!" Figo seemed to see Quaresma's strange appearance and gave Quaresma a burst.

Quaresma nodded, but the desire to sprint in his eyes did not diminish at all.

Do you have a dual personality?

Before the start of the game, I was worried about this and that, but as soon as I stepped on the turf, I forgot all about what I didn't have, and I was left with a sprint heart.

It seems that he is still a big contestant!

couldn't help but look at the Dutch team opposite, and the corners of Quaresma's mouth flashed into a contemptuous smile.

At this time, the Netherlands is really not the top team!

In the 04 Euro Cup, the Netherlands met Portugal and was eliminated by Portugal, and this time, it seems that the Netherlands came with a revenge mentality.

It's just that, with normal strength, can they beat Portugal?

Even if their strength is comparable to Portugal, there is such a bad dressing room, it is destined that the Dutch will not go far, maybe they can be crushed by their strength when they encounter a weak team, but they can't play decent football at all when they encounter a strong team.

The dressing room in the Netherlands is notoriously smoky in world football.

The Netherlands is a country rich in talent, but the abundance of talent is precisely where the contradictions are abundant, and the innate reckless character makes it difficult for players to get along with each other.

Everyone is a genius, you don't believe me, I don't believe you, they all want to prove that they are the best, although the idea is quite second, but the competitiveness is not a major characteristic of football players!

Let's not mention the previous tournaments, let's see how many bad things happened in the Dutch dressing room in this World Cup.

After beating Serbia and Montenegro in the first group game, Van Persie, who was stealing the limelight, publicly accused Robben, believing that he was too lonely and only thought about scoring goals for himself, but did not care about the interests of the whole team.

Van Basten then criticised Ruud van Nistelrooy's sluggish performances, and then Ruud van Nistelrooy and Kuyt had another verbal altercation in training......

The internal divisions never survived.

Coupled with the natural contradiction between the Dutch players and the Surinamese players, the entire Dutch dressing room is like a vegetable market, with trivial things flying around.

It's no wonder that such a Dutch team can go far.

It's just that infighting is infighting, but it doesn't delay the Netherlands from playing dirty in the face of unfavorable situations, and this is where Quaresma really has to be careful.

......

In the players' tunnel, the players of the two teams who know each other are greeting each other in a friendly manner, and from the current state, there is no possibility that this game may become a slaughterhouse.

But who can say what is going on the green field!

In fact, there is only one player Quaresma is familiar with in this Dutch team: his team-mate Van Persie at Arsenal.

Last season, he didn't send Van Persie a through ball, but Van Persie's footwork was too stinky and wasted most of Quaresma's assists, and he had to fight with Postiga.

In fact, before Quaresma's arrival, Van Persie played as a winger at Arsenal most of the time, with not weak speed, breakthrough and technique, and he was also a good material for a winger.

It's just that Quaresma's arrival has greatly reduced Van Persie's playing time in the winger position, so when Henry was injured, Wenger raised his position to the front and used him as a central striker.

Now in the national team, Van Basten may feel that Van Persie has a greater role on the wing, so he has never straightened Van Persie.

In today's game, Robin van Persie played as a right winger and formed a double wing with Arjen Robben, with Kuyt at the front, the young striker who started in place of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Ricardo, we must be the ones who win today!" Van Persie smiled at Quaresma and clenched his fist as if to cheer himself up, as if he would not have the confidence to say such a thing otherwise.

Quaresma smiled, not taking Van Persie's words to heart.

Who wouldn't say a cruel word?

When you get to the field, let's use your strength to speak!

At this time, Quaresma faintly felt an unfriendly gaze staring at him.

Robben?

I couldn't help but smile slightly, although you look at me with hostile eyes, perhaps, you can only look up, but I will not treat you as an opponent.

......

The referee blew the whistle, and the focus battle officially began, the cries in the stands were deafening, and the game entered a white-hot state from the first minute.

First Goal!

Quaresma's strategy in this game is to score first, two if one is not enough, three if two is not enough, and then lock in the victory, if the Netherlands want to fight, then fight with them and see who will be eliminated at that time!

Maybe there's an unexpected surprise!

If victory is hopeless, then what in despair do the Netherlands have to fight Portugal, maybe a chaotic war can be avoided!

With this mentality, Quaresma was very active on the left flank.

The first attack of the opening game was initiated by Quaresma, who received a pass from Deco with his back near the midfield, Quaresma turned around violently, stabbed the ball with his feet, and stabbed the ball from the right side of Robben, but his body crossed over from the left side, and broke through Robben like a stake with a beautiful turn.

Robben's defense was naturally not very good, but after being broken through by Quaresma so lightly, Robben's face was still hot for a while.

Why don't I lose face?

However, Quaresma didn't care what Robben thought, after breaking through Robben, his feet suddenly accelerated towards the Dutch half, and if he could score one in the opening game, the Netherlands would definitely collapse.

After rushing past half-time, Van Bronckhorst came to meet him, and the Dutch right-back did not dare to face Quaresma by himself, so he quickly beckoned Coku to pack Quaresma together.

No way, it's not Van Bronckhorst's instigation, it's Quaresma's shadow that is too big, and he doesn't want to be dominated by Quaresma's terrifying breakthrough again.

Van Bronckhorst plays for Barcelona and is teammates with Deco, and in the just-concluded Champions League final, he faced off against Quaresma, and the result is self-evident, Van Bronckhorst was almost exposed!

Quaresma's god-like performance made Van Bronckhorst desperate for a while, and now facing Quaresma again, it is strange that he can have the confidence to fight hard with Quaresma!
