As night falls, the sky above the Allianz Arena is a deep blue that seems to be able to pass through the universe with the occasional light beam.

The fans couldn't hold back the passion in their hearts and shouted wildly, and when the game started a little, it had already entered the climax.

The referee's whistle was accompanied by loud cheers, and the semi-final between Portugal and France finally kicked off, presented in front of everyone with an unabashed attitude.

The moment the whistle blew, Quaresma had already taken a big step and couldn't get off the French half as fast as he could.

In a situation where long passes have gradually become a conventional weapon for Portugal, it is also a good idea to start a wave of long passes.

Quaresma quickly approached Abidal and he knew he would be playing against this brilliant full-back.

It's just that the power of Deco's pass is a little bigger, and Quaresma couldn't get the ball, and the plan to give France a dismount at the beginning was frustrated.

I don't regret it, after all, the success rate of similar raids is too low, and it is good to be able to threaten the French goal, but it is not a big loss.

However, at this time, Quaresma saw obvious mockery on Gallas's face not far away, as if he was mocking himself for running in vain with this wave of raids, and it was useless.

Quaresma's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Garas, who was a little carried away, a bit like he was looking at a dead man.

Looks like you've forgotten how I hammered you in the league!

It doesn't matter, some people have a bad memory, or selective amnesia, as long as they keep deepening their memory.

In other words, then keep abusing!

Although Gallas plays central defense, it does not mean that he does not have the opportunity to play against Quaresma, as long as Abidal is shaken by Quaresma, Gallas will inevitably come up to make up for the defense, and at that time, Gallas will not be able to do so.

But at this moment, Quaresma suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

Because he remembered that in his previous life, Gallas and Ashley Cole swapped clubs and came to Arsenal, if he hadn't left at that time, wouldn't he and Gallas have become teammates?

That's a little embarrassing!

I used to fight-for-tat in club and national team competitions, but I suddenly became teammates, and I was a little better, and I guess Gallas was embarrassed to appear in front of him.

How can you say that he is now Arsenal's No. 2 person, and he can be regarded as the big man in the team, Gallas offended the big man in the team, and he still has a good life?

So, Quaresma couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gallas didn't know what Quaresma was laughing at, but vaguely felt that it was related to him, maybe he was holding back something bad, so he was doubly careful.

However, as the match progressed, Quaresma never faced Gallas head-on, and his attack was more on the wing.

With Makelele and Vieira in the back, helping to defend Abidal at any time, Quaresma must be very careful, otherwise losing the ball may be counterattacked by France, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And because Pauletta showed a very good state before the game, Scolari also hopes that the two wings will give Pauleta more support, how to say that it is also the French Golden Boot, which is still very golden, maybe he didn't find the state before, if Pauletta can exert his power, it can directly become the flashpoint of Portugal.

In the opening ten minutes, Quaresma and Ronaldo dominated crosses on the left and right sides, and they couldn't just throw Scolari's advice aside at the beginning.

However, Pauletta is really a little uncompetitive, and his good condition before the game is as if he has been eaten, and he still can't get up on the court, as if he has a fear of big games.

Quaresma's two out-of-the-foot instep crosses landed very well, almost all of them were aimed at Pauleta's head, but Pauleta said that he couldn't compete with the French defender, and he didn't create a single threat, and it was even better to let Quaresma's cross spin directly towards the goal!

Speaking of which, there is still something in France's back line today.

Except for right-back Sagnol, who is a full-time full-back, the other three players can play in the middle and on the wing, Abidal, Gallas and Thuram, it seems that anyone can play on the wing, and the remaining two are standing in the middle.

Maybe the first time he defended Abidal on the flank and defended Quaresma on the wing, the next time it became Gallas, and then Thuram, this kind of formation may be Domenech's routine.

However, Quaresma feels that with France's mentality of ambition, Abidal may be fixed on the wing, because he is the fastest and has the strongest assist ability, and once the French midfielder needs support, he can be the first to step up.

Quaresma still admires Abidal, a liver fighter, and a brave man who can overcome liver cancer and return to the ring should be respected no matter what.

And in the Champions League final that season, Barcelona captain Puyol handed over the captain's armband to Abidal and let Abidal lift the Champions League trophy, which is also one of the few places where Quaresma identifies with Barcelona.

But now, Abidal is still a lively guy, and it is estimated that he will not think that he will suffer from such a terrible disease as liver cancer in the future.

In fact, Quaresma sometimes wonders if a professional player dies suddenly on the field because of heart problems and other problems that are not easy to detect, but at a young age, how can he develop liver cancer?

Eating too much small barbecue?

Do you want to remind Abidal to pay attention to a healthy diet?

Forget it, it is estimated that reminding Abidal that not only will it have no effect, but it may also be considered a neuropathy.

Although there are a lot of people in world football who think they are neurotic, and they are not worse than one or two, Quaresma still decided to clean himself, anyway, in the time node that Quaresma crossed over, Abidal is still alive and well, even if he may not be able to live a long life, it should not be too much of a problem to live to the end of his life.

At this moment, a thought popped into Quaresma, one that made him feel a little funny.

Otherwise, you will torture Abidar with blood!

At least leave Abidal with an unforgettable memory, making him always want to find his determination to seek revenge.

In this way, there is a direction in life, at least when he has a liver transplant in the future, he will never forget revenge, and his strong willpower can ensure that he will not hang on the operating table......

Shaking his head and laughing at himself, let's not talk about whether he can torture Abidal with blood, what he just thought about was all whimsical and a bit nonsense.

But in any case, it is the first priority for him to defeat Abidal, since he is standing on this green field, then giving it his all is the greatest respect for his opponent, and Quaresma also needs to beat Abidal to create a threat for France, he wants to win.

......

The game was very close, and the two teams focused more on the battle for midfield, although the pace of attack and defense conversion was not very fast, but the goal was to pursue the success rate, it was very intense.

Every time Zidane takes the ball, it is full of art, dribbling, splitting the ball, sending through the ball, it seems that every action can create a threat;

Although Deco's style of play is unpretentious, it is more skillful in the ordinary, combing the Portuguese attack in an orderly manner, and not falling behind at all in the confrontation with Zidane.

The midfield performance of both teams was in line with expectations, with equal quality and smooth play, without much ups and downs.

Twenty minutes passed, the score was not rewritten, the chances created by the two teams were not far apart, and the evenly matched situation kept everyone nervous.

In the 22nd minute, France set off a wave of offensive climax, all the way to the ball in front of the Portuguese penalty area, Zidane, who took the ball, had already dribbled through Maniche's defense, and sent a through ball to find the striker Henry, and the Portuguese goal was extremely grim at that moment.

The French fans in the stands couldn't help but shout, the connection between Zidane and Henry is the most threatening way for France to attack, and every time he appears on the pitch, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm.

The Portuguese fans folded their hands nervously, praying that France would never score.

Portugal is not suitable for playing against the wind!

In the flash time, Henry got the ball, half-turned and faced the Portuguese goalkeeper directly, stabbed the first shot, and struggled to complete the shot under the pressure of Carvalho.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, Shenfeng Henry was online.

At that moment, Quaresma was a little afraid to look at the result, for a long time he was used to playing against the wind, no matter which team he was facing, scoring first and then playing at his own pace, it would make it easy for him.

But once you are led by your opponent, the game is likely to be controlled by your opponent, and you will be led by your opponent's nose, and that feeling will definitely not be comfortable.

If Henry scores this goal and France wins the game, then when he returns to the club, I don't know how Henry will be proud in front of him!

France must not be allowed to win!

The air seemed to have frozen, and in the next breath, the whole audience boiled, and everyone showed incredible expressions and was dumbfounded.

Ricardo has made a meritorious service!

The Portugal goal went down in an incredible move to block Thierry Henry's shot, which was so difficult that it was even more difficult than the goalkeeper to score with a direct shot from inside his own box.

Quaresma was relieved and let out a sigh of relief, it's good that he didn't enter!

Henry held his head in disbelief, he couldn't believe that this ball would be saved, could it be that it was God who kept the goal for Portugal?

However, the crisis was not yet over, and after a brief stunned moment, the players of both sides immediately went to scramble for the ball that was blocked, and the Portuguese penalty area fell into chaos.

Fortunately, Mela cleared the ball and did not give France a second chance to attack, summing up France's attack.

However, there was no room for everyone to take a good breath, and the breathing that was so tense that it was almost stagnant just now still could not return to normal, because Portugal's counterattack came.

Mela's clearance was picked up by Figo, and the Portuguese captain took the ball with his back and went directly to Deco, who had already run out of the penalty area.

At this time, Quaresma has begun to take off on the right side, and Ronaldo on the left side is also like a lightning bolt to the French half, but only Pauletta in the middle is half a beat slower than both of them, but does not rush to the front.

The French are shocked, the sharpness of Portugal's counterattack is not just talking, with Quaresma and Ronaldo, it can almost be said that it is the strongest team in world football to counterattack, once Portugal flies, then I am afraid that only Portugal itself can stop them.

One second it was France attacking, and the next second Portugal counterattacked and hit the French half, and the tension was overwhelming, and even forgot to breathe.

After Deco got the ball, he turned on the spot to get rid of Makelele's entanglement, observed the situation in the frontcourt, locked his eyes on a figure that was running wildly, and did not hesitate to make a long pass.

Right!

Quaresma on the right!

The ball flew over the midfield and into the right side of Portugal's attack.

Zidane's connection with Henry is France's killer feature, while Deco and Quaresma's connection is no less impressive.

Quaresma and Abidal are in a race, Abidal is higher up than Quaresma, but his speed is slightly inferior to Quaresma, even if he tries his best, he is still pressed by Quaresma, and finally completes the overtake!

At that moment, Abidal felt a little desperate in his heart.

There was no big mistake in defending Quaresma before, and Quaresma was not able to directly threaten the French goal, but if he thought that defending Quaresma was really that simple, then there were times when he cried.

In terms of speed, he really wasn't a match for Quaresma.

In the next step, Quaresma unloaded the ball, wouldn't he just throw off his own inward knife?

No, you can't let Quaresma rush over!

Thinking of this, Abidal gritted his teeth and reached out to pull Quaresma's jersey, even if it was a foul, he was determined to keep Quaresma here.

Quaresma felt the tug on his jersey, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Which game will you not have your jersey ripped of?

That is, the quality of the jersey is good, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to run naked in any game.

However, Quaresma will not give Abidal a chance to foul, and the threat of a free kick on the wing is equal to a corner, and it would be too cost-effective to change to a free kick on the wing at a good chance to counterattack.

So, Quaresma had to find a way to get rid of Abidal.

Is Pauletta outflanked in place?

Quaresma struggled to break free of Abidal's pull and aimed for the penalty area.

Pauletta rushed to the top of the penalty area and had Thuram around him, and in the confrontation with the French defender, Pauletta was always at the bottom, which made Quaresma a little less trusting Pauleta and not wanting to pass the ball to him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is about to go from the ribs into the box?

Quaresma's eyes lit up, this was a great opportunity!

People are not crazy teenagers!

Let's have the craziest show together!

In an instant, Quaresma's eyes sharpened, and in the confrontation with Abidal, he turned sideways to meet Deco's long pass, staring at the whereabouts of the ball.

In the stunned exclamations of everyone, Quaresma had no intention of stopping the ball at all, and directly picked up his right foot and pumped Deco's long pass to the middle of the penalty area.
