Chapter 72: Breaking the system, no fart
After more than a week of recuperation, Porto arrived in Moscow three days ahead of schedule to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League group stage against CSKA Moscow.
No one was expecting Porto to qualify as group winners, but with Porto's recent explosion, it seems that the opportunity has presented itself again.
Isn't Porto now ahead of the mighty Chelsea in the group standings?
If Porto win away to CSKA Moscow, which is not as strong as their own, and Chelsea have an accident against Paris Saint-Germain, then Porto will not have a chance to secure the top spot in the group one round earlier?
Although the probability of this kind of pie-in-the-sky beauty happening is not large, people always have dreams, right?
That's why Porto went to Moscow three days in advance, just to adapt to the cold weather in Moscow, and then to be able to play normally in the cold weather.
Portugal is a Mediterranean country with a pleasant climate in all seasons, with an average temperature of more than 10 degrees even in November.
However, Moscow has already entered a cold winter, and the average temperature is below minus 15 degrees.
This means that there is a temperature difference of more than 25 degrees between Porto and Moscow, which is not comparable to the feeling of entering an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day.
As soon as he got off the plane, Quaresma felt the cold air rushing to his face, the cold breath entered the respiratory tract from his nostrils, and he felt that his lungs were frozen all at once.
"I'm afraid it's the worst away game in European football, right?" Quaresma shuddered as she thought to herself.
If it is just a simple cold, then the human body can usually bear it, but I am afraid that the temperature difference is too large.
The sudden drop in temperature can cause extreme discomfort in the human body, and this is often the time when the disease is raging.
In the past, everyone was reluctant to play against the Russian Premier League team, because of this, they were almost frozen into popsicles, who can still play well?
Coming to Moscow, the team's coach Adrianse's biggest fear was not to lose, but to cause the team to have a large-scale cold because of the cold weather.
But whatever he was afraid of, he came, and after a day's work, almost half of the team's main force began to have a runny nose.
This also includes Quaresma......
Adrianse almost fainted, is this the rhythm of the killing?
Players are no different from others, once they catch a cold, they don't dare to take those cold medicines at all, because most cold medicines contain some prohibited ingredients and are easily associated with stimulants, so they can only rely on their own immunity to heal themselves.
Needless to say, judging from the current situation, most of the main players in this game will not be able to play.
Originally, I wanted to compete for the first place in the group, but now let's wash and sleep!
Quaresma was also quite surprised, he obviously didn't feel invaded by the virus, but somehow, he actually said that he had a cold.
With my own physique, it doesn't seem like it should be!
It seems that I still don't practice much, otherwise how can I catch a cold easily!
"Ahh
Quaresma lay weakly in the room, looking at the equally weak Mereles next to him, the two seemed to be sympathetic, and of course, in the next room, there were cattle with the same symptoms as them.
Isn't this thing infecting you with the cold virus?
Quaresma pondered, his eyes turning unkindly at Mereles.
However, I don't know if Mereles has the same idea as Quaresma, and the way he looks at Quaresma is actually very unkind.
Well, ten minutes later, the two who were even weaker parted separately - the duel was won or lost!
"If it weren't for the lack of strength now, I would definitely want you to look good!" Quaresma did not forget to speak harshly.
Mereles gave Quaresma a middle finger, a clear indication of what he was thinking.
However, it is indeed worrying now, a limited number of main players with a few substitutes to train, not surprisingly, Porto is not even satisfied with the bench in this game.
For the first time, Quaresma felt that this broken system was really useless.
Other people's systems are very rebellious, whatever you want, even if you want to fly out of the universe, you can conjure up a spaceship.
But when it comes to myself, in addition to being able to display a little attribute value, there is no other fart, and it is really low to burst.
If God gives me another chance, then I'd rather change to a big tease system, even if that system is no longer disciplined, it's better than the current low forcing system.
Complaining is complaining, but Quaresma naturally knows that he has a system, even if the actual effect of this system is not so exaggerated, but it is definitely better than others, and he should know that he is satisfied.
......
In the end, Quaresma and the other players with a cold were not able to participate, and they did not even have the opportunity to sit on the bench, and Porto relied on the third-tier lineup and maneuvered with their opponents in the freezing weather of Moscow, and finally lost the game.
Although it is a bit of a pity, considering the actual situation of Porto, there is no shame in losing.
In the other game in the group, Chelsea won Paris Saint-Germain cleanly to complete the comeback to Porto.
Porto host Chelsea in the final round and will have to win to top their group to qualify as top of the group, but no one feels Porto have a chance anymore, even if they play at home.
Quaresma felt sorry, not that he didn't think Porto would have won Chelsea at home, but that Porto probably wouldn't have given it their all.
According to the schedule, after the final round of the Champions League group stage against the broken car, Porto will rush to Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup to be held there as Champions League champions.
Compared with the first or second place in the group, there is no doubt that the championship of the Toyota Cup is more important, and to some extent, the championship of the Toyota Cup is equivalent to the championship of the world club.
Fighting for such an important honor, Porto may not be able to fight Chelsea, because it doesn't really make much sense.
Porto, who had been rebuilt, did not plan to go far in the Champions League, and the task of qualifying from the group has actually been completed, and it is a surprise to go one more step left.
Rather than fighting Chelsea for the top spot in the group with little significance, it is better to win the Toyota Cup honestly, which is definitely the thinking of most people.
However, what is in front of Porto now is not the final round of the Champions League group stage, nor the Toyota Cup, but to let the players recover as soon as possible.
When Quaresma returned to Porto, he was put on vacation to recuperate, there is no way, this is the flu, and the headquarters of Porto must not fall!
Naturally, he was happy to rest, although he was still very weak and had no way to train his strength, but Quaresma could have used this time to watch the video to improve himself!
