Chapter 516: Shuffle?

The match against Laco was over, and Real Madrid comfortably took all three points away from home, taking away what seemed to be a hard-earned victory.

If Real Madrid's normal strength is concerned, at least the victory does not seem to have a surprise element.

But those who watched the game with their own eyes knew very well that Real Madrid's victory was not so smooth.

Quaresma's failure to make the starting line-up had an impact on Real Madrid, who did not perform too well for most of the game.

It wasn't until Quaresma was called upon to perform unbeatably after the pitch that Real Madrid finally took a victory.

However, it is interesting to say that when celebrating the victory, there was also an exciting interaction between Quaresma and Real Madrid coach Schuster, and it did not seem that there was a deep contradiction between the two as rumored by the outside world.

Until now, it was unclear to everyone why Schuster would put Quaresma on the bench.

I'm afraid this question will become an unsolved case for the ages.

The previous Real Madrid players would never have given the slightest hint to the outside world, would they say that Quaresma is in a slump because of the nightlife?

Obviously, Quaresma is not Ronaldo, in fact, he loves life off the field, and it will never affect the state of the game.

After this game, Real Madrid continued to lead the standings strongly, but the next few games tested Real Madrid's ability to continue to fight to a certain extent.

It could even be a turning point for the season.

In the next two rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid will face Valencia and Sevilla successively, these two traditional powerhouses in La Liga are not so easy to dismiss, especially when both teams are trying to qualify for the Champions League, they will be 100% Real Madrid desperate.

Once Real Madrid make a mistake in these two La Liga games, it will give Barcelona a chance to chase points, even if Real Madrid's current advantage is obvious enough, but it will be under a lot of pressure.

It's not uncommon in history for a clearly dominant team to fall out after a sudden defeat.

The new Real Madrid have yet to experience too many setbacks, and no one knows if they really have the temperament of a king.

It should also be noted that after these two crucial La Liga matches, the Champions League quarter-finals will begin, and Real Madrid will travel to London in midweek to face the mighty Arsenal, which is a real battle of life and death.

For the sake of this contest, Real Madrid will inevitably be selective in the previous games, that is, against Sevilla, Real Madrid will definitely not play with a full main lineup.

This series of games made Real Madrid a little breathless, but fortunately Quaresma recovered in time, otherwise even he would have been a little apprehensive.

Quaresma doesn't know what Schuster will do, but he won't die on his own, and even if he shows a little bit of fitness, he may take him.

In general, the giant panda is no more protected than that.

As Schuster said to himself in private, he is used to fight tough battles, not to abuse vegetables.

If you spend 160 million euros to buy a star who can only abuse vegetables, then Real Madrid is too wronged.

......

Before even meeting a strong opponent, there was a big difference in public opinion on the prediction of the outcome of Real Madrid's tough battle, which was very rare before.

Some media believe that Real Madrid will find it difficult to survive this difficult schedule, and one of the La Liga and Champions League will definitely be pulled down.

Their arguments seem to hold water.

After all, there is no official explanation for Quares' immediate being pressed to the bench in the last game, and God knows if there is really some irreconcilable contradiction in this.

Once Schuster continues to keep Quaresma on the bench, no one can guarantee what Real Madrid will achieve.

You know, in the last game against Athletic Bilbao, there was no Quaresma, and Real Madrid played badly.

Could Schuster still be able to put Quaresma on the bench every game?

Can Quaresma balance his heart?

Once there is a problem, two fronts, one halberd, is really not alarmist.

The other school of thought believes that Real Madrid don't need to worry about this at all.

Judging by the results of the reporters' crouching, Quaresma has maintained a very good form in training, which is completely different from the previous appearance during the fitness crisis.

Schuster has also put Quaresma in the squad, with the number one star in world football likely to be back in the starting line-up for the next game.

Schuster has no reason to put Quaresma on the bench, even if there is a real conflict between them, and for the sake of his own future, Schuster will not be stupid.

The only thing to worry about is the overall fitness of the whole Real Madrid team, as long as there are no problems with the overall fitness situation, it is not a problem for Real Madrid to survive this intensive and important schedule.

......

At the pre-match press conference, many reporters focused on whether Quaresma will start the game and what kind of attitude Real Madrid will take towards these games, which are all matters of concern.

Quaresma was confirmed to be in the starting line-up early on, so he was joined by Schuster and captain Raul for the press conference.

"I don't understand why there are always people who say that Real Madrid may collapse!"

"So far in the season, Real Madrid have only lost one game, got two draws and won the rest of the games, where do you see that Real Madrid are going to collapse?"

'Real Madrid's attitude has always been clear, try to play every game as well as possible, we have to take responsibility for ourselves!'

"Even if we lose these two La Liga games in a row, so what?"

"Barcelona haven't won a single game in three consecutive games, shouldn't you be concerned that Barcelona has almost lost the chance to win the title?"

"With 10 rounds left in the league, we Real Madrid are 22 points ahead of Barcelona, you tell me, how do we collapse so that Barcelona can catch up?"

'It doesn't matter if I'm going to start the game or not, it's the manager's arrangement and Mr Schuster will set up the starting line-up depending on the game.

"The only thing I'm sure of is that as long as I'm on the field, I'm going to give it my all and get a win!"

"That's all!"

......

Quaresma's statement left no one in a row for all journalists to refute.

Indeed, before you know it, Real Madrid is already far ahead of the standings, a full 22 points ahead of Barcelona.

With the last 10 rounds left in the league, even if Real Madrid collapses and doesn't get a single point, Barcelona may not be able to catch up!

In order to create highlights, media reporters deliberately ignored this point to guide fans to pay attention to the possible collapse of Real Madrid and create a public opinion explosion.

But now that Quaresma had brought it up in a clear and unequivocal manner, they had no way to refute it.

Journalists always have a love-hate relationship with Quaresma, after all, Quaresma is the biggest traffic body, which can always stimulate his sales, but Quaresma is always not so friendly to the media, which makes reporters hate itchy.

And when it came to the game, Quaresma appeared in the starting list without any suspense, and Real Madrid was still the main lineup, facing Valencia with a winning attitude.

In this game, Real Madrid played more difficult than expected.

Even though Valencia's golden generation has grown old and they have lost the qualification to compete for the La Liga title or even the Champions League places, they are still a strong team with fighting spirit.

At the Bernabeu, Valencia played a very tenacious game, which made it very difficult for Real Madrid at one point.

You know, Quaresma was on the pitch, but Real Madrid still didn't take advantage of Valencia most of the time.

Since the start of the game, Valencia has been the most active in the midfield, playing very tenaciously, making it difficult for Real Madrid's attack to pass head-on.

In the attack, Valencia used two wings to make a fuss, and it was still the same way they played in their heyday, and it also made Real Madrid very uncomfortable.

Although Quaresma assisted Raul to break the deadlock in the first half, before the first half was over, Valencia took advantage of a corner opportunity to equalize, and high striker Zhikic pressed Pepe without temper.

In the second half, Valencia became more and more vigorous, threatening Real Madrid's fans several times, which once made the fans nervous.

Many of those watching the race almost thought it was going to be Quaresma's Waterloo.

After all, Quaresma's team had never been beaten by an opponent when they were ahead, and now, it seemed like that could happen.

And at this difficult moment, it was still Quaresma who stepped forward, broke through the defense of two Valencia players on the left side in succession, and finally broke through Valencia's goal again and killed the opponent.

Quaresma was really excited, such a difficult game can prove his worth even more, and he still prefers such ups and downs to abuse vegetables.

roared all the way to the stands, Quaresma took off his jersey and kept waving it, driving the atmosphere of the Bernabeu to **.

The teammates also rushed over in a frenzy, lifting the Quaresma high in the air as if welcoming a hero.

Eventually, Quaresma threw his shirt into the stands and was snatched up by the fans, who returned to the pitch laughing.

Quaresma, who wore his jersey, received a yellow card, although it was inevitable that his emotions would be revealed, but the rules did not allow him to take off his shirt on the field to celebrate the goal, otherwise you think the referee would be willing to be this villain?

Not long after the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Real Madrid won another hard-won victory.

After the game, the tone of the media has completely changed, and they are no longer worried that Real Madrid will collapse, and after winning this victory, Real Madrid is really not far from the La Liga championship.

If Real Madrid maintain their current form and affect two more games, then Barcelona will not even have a theoretical chance of winning the title, and Real Madrid will win the La Liga title seven rounds ahead of schedule.

Who would have thought that at the start of the season?

Even if Quaresma's arrival gave Real Madrid fans great confidence, they would never dare to imagine it so boldly.

Countless media began to sing praises to Real Madrid, and the touting remarks couldn't stop at all, as if the whole world was talking about the incredibleness of Real Madrid, and the current Real Madrid is really too powerful.

Of course, Real Madrid did not show much dominance in this game, but to be a strong team is to be strong and can win the game in any situation, no matter how easy or difficult.

This kind of performance has made all La Liga teams desperate!

However, at this time, an announcement routinely issued by the Spanish Football Association attracted everyone's attention and directly detonated public opinion.

Quaresma has accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga this season and will be completely out of action in his next game against Sevilla.

Before the last game, Quaresma had accumulated four yellow cards, and in this game, Quaresma received another yellow card for stripping to celebrate the goal, and the rules of La Liga are that players accumulate five yellow cards and are automatically suspended for one game, so Quaresma is destined to be unplayable.

Originally, this was just a normal thing, and many defenders would experience similar suspensions, and even one was suspended twice a season for accumulating yellow cards.

But now, on this stormy side, Quaresma is suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and someone immediately thinks of a possibility.

Shuffle!

Quaresma is shuffling the cards with this yellow card!

Why?

After their next game against Sevilla, Real Madrid are on their way to Arsenal with just three days between the two games.

With Real Madrid's huge lead in La Liga, Real Madrid is likely to give up the game against Sevilla in favor of Arsenal.

There's no intention of fielding the main line-up anyway, so why not suspend Quaresma for this game?

If he doesn't shuffle the cards and doesn't plan to shoot Quaresma, then Quaresma still has four yellow cards on his back, and he may not be able to explode in the next game, and then the next game will be suspended.

Rather than passively suspended, it is better to take the initiative into your own hands now.

A media outlet speculated like this, and then public opinion began to explode, and the matter of Quaresma's shuffle seemed to be noticed by the whole world at once.

"He's an actor!"

"This blatant shuffling is the most terrible trampling on the spirit of competition!"

"Quaresma is playing fools at everyone!"

"I can guarantee that Real Madrid will not send the main squad when they face Sevilla in the next game!"

"That's how Quaresma came to wash off his yellow card!"

"Excuse me, where is your professionalism?"
