Heading to Munich, the semi-final will be played at Bayern's home stadium, the Allianz Arena, and this will be Quaresma's first visit to the famous stadium.

Well, Bayern at this time is not very competitive in the Champions League, and it is no wonder that Arsenal can't meet it.

Of course, in the previous life, Arsenal and Bayern were a little entangled, after all, "five years of Bayern and three years of Barcelona" is not a joke!

For Arsenal die-hard fans, those years were like a beep for dogs, and when it comes to these two teams, there is an urge to hang themselves.

But then the situation got better, Arsenal failed to compete for the fourth, and they couldn't play in the Champions League, so naturally they couldn't meet those two big devils......

As long as Bayern develops according to the trajectory of its previous life, then no matter which team he is in in the future, he will not have the opportunity to come to the Allianz Arena again.

In the temporary training ground, Portugal is conducting tactical exercises against France's style of play, but now Scolari has a big headache.

In the last game against England, Portugal's three backs played without a striker was very powerful, although there was no center forward at the front, but after the midfield strengthened the defense, there was a threat when the counterattack opportunity came out, and England did not dare to press it at all.

But this is not a conventional style of play after all, when playing France, because Zidane is a midfield master, the effect of the back three may not be obvious, so Scolari hesitates between the two styles of play, not knowing how to choose.

I don't know if Pauletta also felt the crisis, he worked extra hard in training, he was even crazier than when he was playing, scoring goals frequently, and showing a very good form in front of Scolari.

Let me play, old man, my broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!

That's what Pauletta meant when she looked at Scolari.

Perhaps Paulaetta's form gave Scolari confidence, or perhaps it was a choice in some way that Scolari chose to play in the end.

Deco and Maniche are paired in two midfield, Figo is up front, Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo are separated, and Pauletta is at the front, which is already the most aggressive style of play in Portugal at the moment.

It seems that Scolari also knows that there is not much point in fighting with France to defend, it is better to destroy the ancient decay and play Portugal's own characteristics, he feels that Portugal now has the capital to face any giant.

Quaresma doesn't care about this, no matter how Scolari changes, he can't put himself on the bench, and there is no invisible political struggle in this, Scolari will ignore his own talent who is already on the verge of reaching the top of world football unless his brain is burned out.

......

The media has already hyped up the match, and the summit showdown between Portugal and France has attracted the attention of the whole world, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the World Cup final.

Every day, the ubiquitous journalists dig for first-hand information and news in order to improve their lives with the quadrennial feast, so they flock to anything that might interest the fans.

"The thigh injury is not getting better, and Figo is doubtful for the semifinals!"

"The Franco-Portuguese battle is full of suspense, and the historical record suggests that France will reach the final."

"Portugal has not won against France for 31 years, and Francophobia may become the biggest obstacle for Portugal!"

"Quaresma is aiming for the Golden Boot and breaking France!"

......

This kind of media coverage is the norm before the tournament, and once the coaches and players of the two teams stand up and take a stand, the smell of gunpowder will really be strong.

Scolari and Domenech's war of words was uninteresting, neither team was the kind of team full of news in England, the two of them just made a declaration of victory before the game, and even the tone was similar, if it wasn't for the impossibility of it, I am afraid everyone would think that their statement was written by a press officer.

However, the players of both teams are not so formulaic, and at this stage, the players can't help but want to show their faces in front of fans all over the world, after all, this is probably an opportunity that many people will not get in their lifetime.

First of all was Gallas, the Chelsea full-back who was haunted by Quaresma's brutality against him last season, and now he finally has a chance to take revenge on France's most established platform.

"I've found a way to deal with Quaresma, I'm not going to let Quaresma score a single goal in the game, I'm going to keep him on the wing, my team-mates will give me the strongest support, we can beat Portugal and reach the final!"

The reporter's expression on Gallas suddenly lit up, and he wanted this kind of explosive news that could lead to a war of words.

However, there was a hint of disdain in the reporter's excited expression, although Gallas did him a great favor, he still felt that Gallas was bragging.

Have you forgotten what it was like to be blown up by Quaresma in the Premier League last season?

Who gave you the courage to say something that would defend Quaresma?

You're a little inflated!

Gallas didn't care so much, whether he could prevent it or not, he definitely couldn't admit it, and he didn't care if it got out.

Sure enough, a reporter soon came to the door and asked Quaresma what he thought of Gallas's slogan.

The first time, Quaresma laughed!

He will be afraid of the French team, whether it is Zidane or Thierry Henry, they are the top stars, and in a flash of inspiration, they could pose a deadly threat to Portugal.

But Gallas is by no means in the ranks of Quaresma's fears, and even if Gallas may be the main defender in this game, Quaresma will not focus too much on how to deal with Gallas's defense.

It's like playing in a professional team, even if you respect your opponent and give it your all, you will never put your opponent on the same level as yourself mentally.

He still has a lot of experience in dealing with Gallas on his own, at least as he proved in last season's competition, and there is nothing he can do about himself.

If he had a way to deal with him, I'm afraid Chelsea wouldn't have lost to Arsenal either.

"It's easy to understand, no matter what the strength is, you can't tell the world before the game that I can't beat the opponent, right?"

"Originally, I was worried about whether I could continue to score goals and consolidate my position in the scorer charts, but since Gallas wants to defend me, then I don't have to worry!"

"On him, how can I get into the two?"

"Although it's a bit inhumane to abuse one person all the time, I can't help it, and I am also responsible for the team's results."

"So, I can only say sorry to Garas!"

Quaresma told reporters nonchalantly, his tone completely unresponsive to Garas.

This is in line with everyone's perception of Quaresma, after all, he has always been so cynical, if he speaks modestly and cautiously, then he is not Quaresma.

Maybe in the face of Zidane or Henry, it is normal for Quaresma to be modest, but Gallas will forget it!

When the words reached Gallas's ears, the Chelsea full-back flew so violently that he almost ran all the way from his hotel in France to his hotel in Portugal to find Quaresma.

This is a shameless thing to say about Garas!

But no matter how angry Gallas is, there is still no way to take Quaresma, he can't really go to Quaresma to fight hard.

And what made him even more sad and indignant was that Domenech didn't know how to think of it, and actually took him from the position of main left-back in this game and put him in the position of central defender.

Does this mean distrusting oneself?

Why, if you can't defend yourself against Quaresma, can Abidal be able to defend against it?

At this moment, Gallas couldn't raise his head at all, and he didn't even dare to accept the reporter's interview.

Can he still say that Domenech is afraid that Quaresma will blow him up, so he will not let himself play full-back?

It's a shame to think about!

......

Quaresma has a very peaceful mentality, no deep hatred, just the pursuit of victory, which makes him feel very comfortable.

Isn't that how football should be?

Enjoy the game, enjoy the win, that's football in its purest form.

On the bus, joking with Ronaldo and making an appointment to teach each other a secret skill, Quaresma showed his own instep skills, and Ronaldo taught Quaresma the trick of elevator ball.

Quaresma always felt that he was a bit at a loss......

After all, there are always a few who can kick elevator ball, but the outer instep is superb, but there is only one seedling.

However, the thought of suffering a loss flashed through him, and he didn't stay in Quaresma's mind for even a second.

It's like the youth team in Sporting Lisbon when I was a child, I didn't teach Ronaldo to play football by hand, and most of the president's fancy moves were learned from me.

Learning to learn the elevator ball is actually quite interesting, in the case of his own outside instep has been completed, when, the opponent goalkeeper must think that he is playing a curve ball, but when he sees the elevator ball appear in front of his eyes, it is estimated that he must be stunned, and then lose the best time to save.

Yiduo is not pressing!

Thinking about how coquettish he would be when he learned to lift the ball in the future, Quaresma couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, before the elevator ball cheats were in hand, the bus arrived at the parking lot of the Allianz Arena, which made Quaresma, who had missed the opportunity for the time being, a little depressed.

But it doesn't matter, it's still a long time coming!

Listening to the singing from inside the stadium, Quaresma's blood couldn't help but start to stir.

The competition is finally coming!

In this match, he does not need to think about anything, he has only one goal, and that is to lead Portugal to defeat France and advance to the final.

Although Quaresma is not the captain of the Portuguese national team, it is not appropriate to use the word leader, but he is indeed the most dangerous star of the Portuguese team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he leads.

During the warm-up, Quaresma looked at the opposite field from time to time, and the French star who warmed up there had too many things that made Quaresma feel emotional.

First of all, Zidane, who has a shiny and bald head under the lights, is going to retire, which is a decision made by Zizou early on, after playing the World Cup, he will no longer appear in front of everyone as a professional player.

Qi Bald's status in world football is self-evident, and the vast majority of pseudo-fans may only have one Ronaldo in their perception of football, but as long as you pay a little attention to football, you will know that Zidane is not inferior to aliens at all.

In his previous life, he liked Zidane very much, liked his style of playing, and was once the object of his imitation, so let himself personally give Zidane a ride and send him to retire directly!

It's better to end Zidane's career by knocking out France now than to let him crash in the final and discredit himself, right?

Maybe it's not perfect, but it's a little more acceptable than losing in the final.

Next to Zidane is the captain of his club, Thierry Henry, who is also Quaresma's emotional figure.

After working together for a season, Arsenal's golden twin guns have long formed a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other's meaning with a look, and the unstoppable goals of the two are the guarantee for Arsenal to keep moving forward.

However, the two were finally going to meet each other as rivals, and the day came a little suddenly, leaving Quaresma unprepared.

He always thought that meeting with Henry might have to wait for Henry's transfer to Barcelona, which was a transfer in line with the historical process, and I don't know if it would change because Arsenal lifted the Champions League trophy.

But now, the two of them think they are on opposite sides, which feels really strange.

Van Persie was also on the pitch against the Netherlands, but Quaresma didn't have such feelings, and he didn't feel deeply, perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Van Persie wasted too much of his through ball when he was at Arsenal......

Henry likes nothing more than to ravage his head after he scores a goal, and he doesn't know what kind of expression Henry will have after scoring in this game.

Thinking about it, Quaresma fell into such a trance, that he forgot to warm up.

It took a long time for Quaresma to come back to his senses, but his expression had already become serious unconsciously.

Anyway, see you in the game!

......

In the players' tunnel, the two teams have lined up and are ready to enter, and the ball boys with innocent expressions reflect the last tranquility before the big game, and everyone is enjoying this last relaxation and adjusting their state.

Henry was in the third position in the French team, while Quaresma was relatively far behind, so Henry ran over and hugged Quaresma before returning to his position.

He didn't say anything, and perhaps, Henry didn't know what he was supposed to say.

"We're going to win this game!"

Could it be that Henry would have said such things to Quaresma?

Apparently not.

So, the smile of the two is communication, and that's enough.

Led by the referee out of the players' tunnel, the Allianz Arena erupted like a volcano, and the atmosphere that had been baking finally reached its peak at that moment.

Before he knew it, Quaresma's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

That's not nervousness!

It's an anticipation of the competition!

He couldn't hold back a heart that wanted to charge!

The race is finally about to begin!

The light in his eyes is untouchably sharp!

Quaresma is like a goshawk soaring in the sky, hovering, diving, and killing with one blow!

The race is finally about to begin!

So, France, are you ready?
