'There were no reservations in England's starting line-up, with Wayne Rooney starting as a lone arrow, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard starting as both central midfielders and Hargreaves as a single midfielder, so there was a ...... depth and breadth in midfield.

......

"The Portuguese team was suspended because of Deco, Scolari simply lined up a 433 formation, and the three defensive midfielders lined up, and the intention of counterattacking was very obvious......"

......

When the commentators explained the starting lineups of the two sides in this game, the atmosphere on the field has gradually become intense, and with the referee's whistle, the much-watched quarterfinals have officially kicked off.

Quaresma got into combat and from the first minute, was already firing on fire.

No one would have thought that Quaresma would be so excited in this game, giving England a blow to the head with the ball for the first time, and if it weren't for a little bad luck, Robinson would have been picking up the ball from the goal.

After kick-off, he spread his hooves and rushed to the England half, stuck Joe Cole received a pass from his teammates, turned around and stopped Joe Cole behind him, and a few big strides with the ball were already about to rush to the England position threat area.

Ashley Cole trembled and pressed up, in the training at Arsenal on weekdays, Quaresma did not abuse him less, looking at Quaresma who rushed towards him, he couldn't help but recall the fear that he had been dominated by Quaresma's various ravages.

And Quaresma didn't show mercy to Ashley Cole just because he was a club teammate, if everyone he knew had to be merciful, how could he be so loving?

Pulling the ball inside with his right foot, Quaresma didn't shake too much, and Ashley Cole was familiar with Quaresma's breaking pattern, and fancy dribbling moves were generally of little use.

Ashley Cole followed in Quaresma's footsteps, also going to the middle in the hope of jamming Quaresma's breakthrough space, not giving Quaresma a chance to threaten the England goal further, and then letting Quaresma go inside, the destructive power would be too great.

But at this moment, Quaresma suddenly knocked the ball with his left heel, knocked the ball back to the right side of his body, led with his right foot, and was full of explosive power, killing directly from the left side of Ashley Cole, and passing the England left-back a clean one!

Ashley Cole looked at Prestigema who walked away after destroying the flowers with his hot hands, and his heart was depressed, how similar this scene was to the Arsenal training ground, he was shaken so much that he didn't want to!

At this time, Quaresma cut inside with the ball again, directly on the corner of the big penalty area, and rubbed a big arc of the outside instep!

The scimitar-like shot chilled everyone's hearts, especially the England fans in the stands, who were so nervous that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats!

Thankfully, Quaresma's shot went just wide of the post and missed the goal, finally relieving the England fans who were so scared that they almost forgot to breathe.

Quaresma is also a pity, from passing to shooting, the whole process is done in one go, smooth to the extreme, but the shooting footwork is not too mastered, if the opening 1 minute can score, then England's mentality will collapse directly!

The proud England fans could no longer afford to underestimate Portugal at this time, and they truly realised that the opponent in front of them might not be a team that would be intimidated by the Three Lions, but a real jackal.

Rubbing his hands regretfully, Quaresma turned his hands and walked back, his expression unreserved.

After an almost ugly match against the Netherlands, Quaresma's mentality has matured a lot.

No matter what the focus of this game is, and no matter what the contradictions are in this game, he will not care.

He just wants to score goals, he just wants to lead Portugal to win games, it's that simple!

The shot just missed was a hello to England – are you ready?

If not, then sorry, you might be blown up!

Quaresma's sharp appearance makes his teammates feel very reliable, and such Quaresma is the Quaresma who can bring them victory.

......

From the first minute, the game was ignited by Quaresma, there was no temptation, no step-by-step, some just bayonets went straight to the white-hot stage.

I have to say that Scolari is still very flexible in terms of employing people, and after staying in the Portuguese national team for a long time, he is more handy in changing the lineup and formation!

It's like today's game, Scolari didn't have an orthodox striker, and in front of the three defensive midfielders, Portugal's three wingers, Quaresma on the right, Ronaldo on the left, and Figo played a pseudo-center role.

Just hit the fast attack!

The midfield is arranged to defend tightly, and after the steal is completed, the three wingers are like tridents and slammed towards the England goal, can the Three Lions block it?

Instead of fighting positional warfare step by step, it's better to play something more crisp!

Facts have proved that Scolari's style of play is very deadly, even if Figo is not suitable for playing a pseudo-center, but the power of the trident really deters England, so that they do not dare to press the onslaught at all, for fear that the backfield will be poked by Portugal first.

In the 5th minute, Gerrard's long-range shot was saved by Ricardo, Portugal launched a fast attack, Miguel made a long pass to the left, Ronaldo did not stop the ball and directly cushioned Figo, Figo sent a straight plug to Quaresma, Quaresma knocked on the middle after going down, and a coherent pass between the three made England's defense helpless, if it weren't for Ronaldo's tackle shot half a beat slower, the Three Lions would have been covered with a head.

Two minutes later, Portugal's fast attack made a comeback, Maniche intercepted successfully in the midfield, directly sent the ball to the right side, Quaresma ran with the ball, Figo was close to respond, Ronaldo outflanked in the middle, and the counterattack of the three was like fire and pure love, all the way to England's goal, if it weren't for Robinson's magical save in the end, he blocked Figo's shot with his foot, I'm afraid England would have cried now!

The extremely fast attack, the counterattack that is so sharp that people can't look at it directly, is dazzling, and directly beats England into confusion!

The opening is smack, one knife after another, and three meows are meowed!

Playing like Portugal is unbearable for most people, and it may be okay to change to Italy, but England, which has a messy style of play, really can't bear it.

Eriksen couldn't sit still, ran quickly to the sidelines, and kept waving, signaling England to hold steady.

I didn't attack by myself, and the backcourt was about to be beaten into a sieve!

If we don't strengthen the defense of Portugal's fast attack, maybe it won't take half a game, and England will collapse!

In fact, England's attack was very problematic.

Without a core of the organisation, neither Frank Lampard nor Steven Gerrard are the ones to do the job, so it's okay to let them go straight up and down, and let them organise the scheduling, it's almost pointless.

As for Hargreaves, it's not even this piece of material, in the entire England midfield, there is no one who organizes with the ball!

The offense rushed upwards, there was no organization and no system, and once the offense was blocked, the whole team almost stopped running, and it was not uncommon to be beaten fast attack.

I feel that Portugal's style of play really restrains England, if England does not attack in a swarm, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Portuguese goal, but a swarm of attack, there is a face of being beaten quickly to the distress, simply caught in a dilemma.

What's even more terrifying is that even if England shifts some of its energy to defense, it still feels like it can't be defended in the face of Portugal, which has super individual combat ability.

Ronaldo on the left side has flowers at his feet, continuous breakthroughs are not a problem, not to mention Quaresma on the right, the defense of the two people can be ignored, that is, there are few points in the middle, and more often they can only cut inside the goal, otherwise the England goal would have been shattered!

In the first 10 minutes, Portugal beat England with no momentum, in fact, there was no way to deal with it.

However, Quaresma is not satisfied, controlling the situation does not mean victory, no goals, everything is in vain!

Hurry up and score goals!

After 10 minutes of ups and downs, the situation on the field gradually became dull, Quaresma occasionally participated in the defense, running towards the Buddhist defensive concept, it is good to be able to defend, it is okay to prevent it, you can't paddle and play when you don't attack!

In fact, there is a very important point, so that Quaresma has to participate in defense, if you really don't participate in defense, your own statistics are too ugly.

After a game, people can almost run 10,000 meters, and the midfielder with strong running ability can even exceed 12.

But if Quaresma doesn't participate in the defense, he only runs when he attacks after a game, then it is just over 7,000 meters, and it would be better if he came a few more long-distance runs, otherwise he might not even be able to reach 7,000.

Although it may not be criticized, the data is too ugly for Quaresma to accept on his own.

It's everyone's responsibility to participate in the defense!

What a righteous slogan!

Of course, his defense is really a bit funny for Ashley Cole, that is, he is afraid that Quaresma will retaliate back, otherwise Ashley Cole must have all kinds of fancy tricks to play Quaresma, and there are really few players in world football who defend such scum.

But today, Quaresma was like Lady Luck possessed, and he caught a fat rabbit.

Ashley Cole dribbled the ball, Figo went to press for the first time, and the England full-back may have been relatively relaxed in the face of Quaresma before, and he didn't get nervous for a while, and was almost cut off by Figo, barely passing Figo, and the result was too big.

Quaresma looked at the ball that was getting closer and closer to him, and Ashley Cole who rushed over with an anxious expression, and couldn't help but want to laugh!

One operation is as fierce as a tiger, and you are sending express delivery?

Then I'll laugh at your gift package!

As soon as he took the ball, he walked forward after Ashley Cole, Quaresma didn't care if the courier uncle was happy or not, it was still the goal that was the most important thing at this time.

Dribbling forward along the flank, the sprint speed soared to the limit again, and although Hargreaves did his best to follow him, Quaresma was not worried at all, because he had too many ways to easily get past the Bayern midfield.

Terry knew that Hargreaves couldn't handle Quaresma on his own, so he didn't hesitate to run to the wing to assist the defense, and it would be best if he could stifle Quaresma's counter-attack on the wing.

Seeing this, Quaresma is not too strong, Terry's ability to grab is excellent, with Hargreaves' marking, in the narrow space on the side, he may not be able to show it, and has been observing the situation in the middle, Figo and Ronaldo have been outflanked in place, Quaresma really has no need to fight the opponent here.

After shaking a shot, he pulled the ball back behind him with his right foot, and after pulling out the passing space, he suddenly exerted his right foot and sent a half-high ball to the middle, where it happened to be the space that Ronaldo found after Figo attracted the England defense.

The fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, and this half-high cross was even sharper than the pass master's through ball, pointing directly at the weakness of England's defense.

The pass was so unbelievable that it stunned England's players, even if they wanted to throw away the players they were marking to intercept.

I saw Ronaldo leaning on Gary Neville, who was in a hurry, posed, and directly picked up his right foot and volleyed into the air, the posture was extremely chic and handsome, and even made many female fans can't help but scream.

The moment the volley hit the ball, Ronaldo was full of pride.

Let me score a shocking goal!

However, Ronaldo's wish is very good, but he does not have the life of a flying immortal, and this volley was directly hit by him into the sky.

Where did it come from and where did it go back, it seems that the supreme philosophy of life was evolved by Ronaldo with a volley, so that everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide and couldn't make a sound.

Looking at the ball that was volleyed by Ronaldo and getting closer and closer to him, even Quaresma didn't react, he just couldn't understand how the ball came back!

So much so that Quaresma didn't have time to unload the ball, and watched the ball fly out of the bottom line in front of him, and the whole person was not good!

Everyone looked at Ronaldo with doubts and exclamations, and there was no one who could hit such a thunderous shot!

Ronaldo is now eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, he really has no face, and he doesn't want to remember what just happened, he only knows that his shot may become the laughing stock of fans for a long time.

A cross from the wing, a volley back to the side, what the hell is this?

Just now, England international Robinson waited tremblingly for a long time, and was even mentally prepared to be hit by Ronaldo's world wave, but he didn't expect to wait for such a ridiculous result for a long time.

Why don't you give it a kick!

This scares me!

Be careful with the liver plopping!

Ronaldo still resisted the urge to bury himself, raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to Quaresma on the right, thanking Quaresma for this wonderful pass.

It's just that Quaresma's incredible expression made Ronaldo a little embarrassed.

Quaresma really didn't expect that Ronaldo would have such a humiliating time, which is much more interesting than watching Ronaldo's fake fall highlights in his previous life!

I can't help but want to complain about Ronaldo, this pass is simply a stroke of genius, as long as Ronaldo is stable, he can properly mix an assist, but now, such a subtle pass is wasted.

Shame on wasting!

Spit cake will be complained about!

Can you be a little thrifty, the pot is so big, you think it's so easy to make a flatbread?

However, Quaresma can't complain about Ronaldo in person, so just complain secretly.

A good chance to hit the counter-attack was wasted, and England's next attack hit the Portuguese penalty area, where Frank Lampard's powerful shot created a great threat for Ricardo and almost broke the Portuguese goal.

As the game gradually enters the state, the rhythm of the two teams is also accelerating, the conversion rate of attack and defense has been soaring, often one second England is still attacking, the next second Portugal has played a counterattack, and then in a blink of an eye, England has also completed the change from defense to offense, for a while, I feel that the eyes of the fans can not keep up with the rhythm changes on the field.

However, in comparison, Portugal's fast attack threat is greater than England's attacking threat, every time Quaresma or Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, it can make England's position a barrage, while England's seemingly fiery attack is not organized, and can only rely on the player's individual ability to create a threat.

For Quaresma, the goal was just a matter of course, and after a few brushes with the goal, he finally didn't waste another chance, and with the assist of Cristiano Ronaldo, he scored his eighth goal of this World Cup.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Quaresma moved to the middle to rush to the defense, Carvalho headed out in the penalty area, and Thiago immediately handed the ball to Quaresma after losing the ball.

Quaresma turned and began to sprint with the ball, like a charging knight, with a strong momentum, and the dust he brought up even stained the entire stadium yellow.

The smash flashed past Gerrard, and the speed barely slowed down, but in the face of Hargreaves, who was in a better defensive position, Quaresma was unwilling to waste time, and distributed the ball to the feet of Ronaldo on the left, and then immediately overtook Hargreaves, while reaching forward and signaling Ronaldo to pass the ball back.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not greedy, and it was obvious that Quaresma's position was more threatening, so he nudged forward without stopping the ball, and after a coherent hit the wall, the ball returned to Quaresma's feet.

All the fans watching the game couldn't help but get nervous, and their breathing was cautious, as if they were afraid of missing the wonderful images that might appear in front of them.

In three steps and two steps, Quaresma had already dribbled to the front of the England penalty area, and Terry, who was also moving backwards, finally stopped retreating, but resolutely met it, and he had to stop Quaresma outside the box.

However, Quaresma will tell him with the facts, who said that you can't stab someone outside the penalty area?

Shoot directly with his feet, and the ball after his foot is like a cannonball, without a trace of spin, and blasts towards the England goal, whether it is Terry or Ferdinand, it is not enough to stop it by a lightning bolt.

Robinson, who stood in front of the England goal, had made several saves, but no matter how brave he played, he would not violate the laws of physics, and in the face of Quaresma's powerful shot, no matter how fast his reaction was, he could not keep up with the rhythm.

In the flash of time, the ball had already flown into the goal, and Robinson's outstretched hand seemed to be superfluous, and it was weak.

Goal, scored!

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
