What will Portugal, already half-crippled, do to withstand the onslaught of the Three Lions?

Is it just Quaresma?

This is a serious question that has been haunting the minds of all Portuguese fans.

There are still so many players who have received yellow cards, which is also a big hidden danger, even if England is eliminated and continues to go down, I am afraid that they will continue to face the crisis of player suspension.

Captain Figo is a good guy, but who can guarantee that he's always in good shape?

Pauletta's scoring efficiency is impressive, and he can't be counted on to score goals in the tournament, and going long can help attract firepower.

If Ronaldo can't return from injury in time, it is likely that Portugal will have to rely on Quaresma to play the world.

Even if Quaresma is good enough, how far can he go to see a man carry a team forward?

Of course, they are willing to believe in Quaresma, because Quaresma has done so many miracles.

With two goals in this game, plus five in the group stage, Quaresma has now scored seven goals in this World Cup, which would all but guarantee him the World Cup Golden Boot, and if Portugal can knock out England and move forward, Portugal will play a full seven games, Quaresma has enough games to score more.

The round of 16 of the World Cup has all ended, and the giants have qualified, and there seems to be no big upset.

But the Golden Boot prediction before the start of the World Cup is a bit of a slap in the face.

Ronaldo's performance faltered, scoring three goals in four games, and his form was definitely not hot;

Adriano, who is in full swing at Inter, has only scored two goals, and his goal efficiency is average;

The top two scorers in the odds to win the tournament have not shown any Golden Boot potential.

Klose has scored four goals and Germany is moving forward, but Klose, who is not fully pictured at the moment, is still three goals behind Quaresma, which is obviously not an easy distance to catch up.

The Spanish attacking duo of Villa and Torres were impressive, scoring four goals each, but Spain have been knocked out of the tournament by France and missed out on the quarter-finals, and their goal tally will stop there.

Who else can pose a threat to Quaresma's Golden Boot?

I'm afraid that even if Quaresma doesn't score any more goals from now on, the Golden Boot will be nine out of ten, unless a super scorer suddenly breaks out, otherwise no one will have a chance.

Quaresma has become one of Portugal's most important players, far more important than captain Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo on the other wing, successfully carrying the banner of Portugal, and is destined to become Portugal's new banner figure after Figo gradually fades out of the national team in the future.

Now, everyone is expecting Quaresma to lead Portugal on their way towards the Hercules Cup, so that Portugal can taste what they want!

......

From Nuremberg back to Gelsenkirchen, the Schalke Stadium was the venue for the quarter-finals of Portugal.

The atmosphere in the team is not relaxed, a big game has consumed a lot of energy and energy for Portugal, and the next time they have to face the championship favourites England, the players also have a lot of pressure in their hearts.

Deco and Costinha also took part in training, but were only on the bench during the drills, and they were destined to miss the game because of the red card in the previous game.

There is no way to be depressed, and Costinha should be glad that because of his stupidity, Portugal has been in a disadvantageous situation of playing more with less for a long time, and Scolari has not scolded him even if he is merciful.

As for Deco, he missed the first group game due to injury and is now unable to play in the quarter-finals, having only played two games so far, and if Portugal are eliminated by England, his World Cup journey will definitely not be so pleasant.

However, there is good news, after a detailed examination, Ronaldo's thigh injury is not serious, and it may be possible to return before the quarter-finals and create more problems for England's wings.

"Wayne is always competing with me, and this game is a good lesson for him!"

During the training break, when Quaresma and Ronaldo were chatting, Ronaldo clenched his fists and said fiercely.

The relationship between him and Rooney is actually in love with each other, there is competition at this stage, and there is also friendship, and now they are playing against each other in the national team, and the two people who do not admit defeat naturally want to share the victory or defeat, and it is estimated that Rooney also has the same idea.

Quaresma rolled his eyes, if he remembered correctly, after this game, the two of them would probably go their separate ways, even if they didn't die of old age, and they would no longer have the basis for picking up soap back then.

Probably Quaresma didn't remember the process, vaguely remembered that it seemed that Rooney stepped on a Portuguese player, and then Ronaldo ignored the friendship of his club teammates and kept looking for the referee to put pressure, and finally the referee sent Rooney off the field.

As a result, Rooney didn't think he was at fault, and it was all Ronaldo's ghost who was sent off, so the relationship between the two was gone forever.

Of course, Quaresma won't tell Cristiano Ronaldo about this, you can go if you want to love and kill each other, my goal is to win, but it doesn't matter if you are willing to do something or not......

A national team game is a national team game, and you can look at each other and smile when you meet your club teammates, but if you are too entangled in the relationship, it is simply meaningless.

Didn't he also run into Van Persie when he played the Netherlands, and Quaresma wouldn't care too much.

In the next game against England, there will be Campbell and Ashley Cole, and even Walcott, what impact does this have, when it is time to win against England, there will be no mercy.

He won't miss Rooney like Ronaldo!

"So, you better think about whether you can recover from your injury first, and if you can't play yet, see how you teach Rooney a lesson!"

Quaresma said angrily.

After training, Quaresma wanted to go back to his room to watch the game video to recharge, but was stopped by defender Costa.

It is also interesting to say that in the Portugal squad for this World Cup, there are three players whose wives are in the waiting stage.

Striker Gomez took a leave of absence to accompany the birth when his wife gave birth during the training camp, and he almost missed the first game before the World Cup to join the team.

Of course, he didn't miss the first game, and he didn't play because he wasn't the main player......

During the group stage against Mexico, Ferreira also returned to London to accompany his wife to give birth, and finally returned to the team before the knockout round.

And against the Netherlands, defender Costa also took a leave of absence to accompany the birth, and the child is said to have been born just in time for Quaresma's second goal.

As soon as the baby was born, Costa returned, and even if his chances of playing in the World Cup were too small, he didn't want to give up that opportunity.

"Congratulations!"

Quaresma thought that he stopped him because he wanted to ask him for a red envelope, after all, it was a happy event and worth celebrating.

However, what did not occur to him was that Costa just wanted Quaresma to give the child a name.

"The child was born when you scored, so I wanted the child to use your name, which is very memorable!"

Costa smiled at Quaresma.

It's like a lot of superstitions, Costa thinks that the child was born when Quaresma scored, so there must be a connection between them, which is why he has this idea.

Quaresma was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then suddenly realized.

"This is your freedom, I won't mind! And I'm honored too! ”

This kind of thing is very common, and many fans will use the name of their favorite star as their child's name, and replace it with a player, which is actually no different.

Quaresma's full name is Ricardo Andrade Quaresma Bernardo and consists of four sections.

The first two are personal names, Quaresma is the mother's surname and Bernardo is the father's surname.

I just don't know which name Costa wants to call his baby!

"I'd like to just name him Quaresma." Costa smiled and said.

It's not bad to use Quaresma's surname as a name!

As long as the baby is a boy, if the girl is called Quaresma, it is basically the same as the effect of calling the hammer!

"Actually, I would prefer you to be the child's godfather and teach him the outer instep stunt in the future!" Seeing that Quaresma was very interested, Costa continued: "When the child was born, the four toes of the right foot were born with a mild varus, although it is not beautiful, but I think it will be especially beneficial to kick the outside instep!" ”

Quaresma's eyes lit up even more when he heard this.

The inner figure is good for kicking the outside instep, and the inversion of the toes is even better than the inside figure.

It seems that Costa's children were born for football!

"Okay, I'm the godfather of the child, and when the World Cup is over, I'll buy a big gold lock for the child!"

Quaresma nodded happily, it's not bad to be a godfather.

If having a child is not for fun, it will be meaningless, but it is always a little reluctant to play with your own child, and there is no pressure to play with other people's children!

But Costa has a question mark on his face, what the hell is the "big golden lock"?

The two chatted happily, and the topic was about this little boy named Quaresma Costa, and it was quite strange that the two men turned into dads at the same time at this moment.

The two were spotted by their teammates when they were playing hot, and they asked every possible question to find out the reason.

As a result, Ferreira and Gomez, who had just been happy with their precious son, were very greedy, Quaresma has made rapid progress, is still ranked among the top stars, and may even become the first person in world football, and it is of course a father's wish to make Quaresma the godfather of his children.

"No, you have to be the godfather of my child, and my child must be called Quaresma!" Gomez flicked his long hair and asked for fairness, and Quaresma was worried about him flaring his dandruff.

"Okay, no problem!"

What else can Quaresma say!

Ferreira saw that Guardesma was so good at talking, and quickly made the same request!

"Well, by the way, be my child's godfather, Quaresma's name is very good, and my child will be called Quaresma in the future!"

This time it was Quaresma's turn to have a black line.

Don't make a fuss, everyone is a boy, and your daughter will hate you to death in the future!
