Chapter 337: Quaresma Goes Berserk (3-in-1)
The Stade de France sounded the whistle for the start of the game, and the world-renowned Champions League final officially began.
Quaresma looked at the starting lineup of Barcelona opposite and was not surprised at all, because this is almost the main lineup that Barcelona uses most often.
Except for right-back Oleg, who is not very familiar with him, the rest are all big stars who are familiar in his previous life.
Goalkeeper Valdés, the man behind Casillas of the Spanish national team, has been guarding San Cassie for more than ten years, although he has never played much in the national team, but he is recognized as one of the top goalkeepers.
At the back, Lions Puyol was partnered with Mexico captain Marcos, with Dutch international Van Bronckhorst at left and homegrown Oleg on the right.
The strength of this backline should not be underestimated, and although it is the most non-existent configuration of Barca's starters, it is their cornerstone.
In today's game, Quaresma's opponent is the Dutch international Van Bronckhorst, who starts as a right midfielder and must first pass Van Bronckhorst if he wants to make a difference on the right flank.
In midfield, Van Bommel and Edmilson, two top defensive giants, paired with Deco to organize the attack, which is probably not weaker than Chelsea's midfield configuration.
Don't think that Deco is a pure attacking player with a big role in attack, and his defense can also be handled, which means that the three-player midfield is completely a reinforced concrete wall.
In fact, Quaresma always believes that Barcelona's current tactical play is not so beautiful at all, that is, Ronaldo's personal style is beautiful, and Barcelona's game is also very good, but without Ronaldo, there is no difference between Barcelona and Chelsea.
At most, because of the problem of tactical inheritance, Barcelona's midfield will press forward as much as possible and deploy the defense to the opponent's half, which is the biggest contribution they can make.
Can you still expect Van Bommel and Edmilson to be as fancy as Ronaldo?
Even the down-to-earth Deco can't do that!
The Dream 2 in the mouth of this Spanish media is completely different from the later Dream 3, and the Dream 3 midfield is dominated by attacking players.
On the forward line, Samuel Eto'o is in the middle, the French international Giuli is on the right, and Ronaldo is on the left, but Ronaldo's tactical freedom is great, and the entire frontcourt is his space for movement, and he is Barcelona's real trump card.
In fact, Quaresma has watched Barcelona games in this period, and even in recent times, Wenger has organized players to watch the game video.
And the more he watched the video of the game, the more ridiculous Quaresma felt, because he now watched the Barcelona game and felt completely indistinguishable from playing live.
The midfield presses, the attack is played to the opponent's half, Xiao Luo takes the ball, the whole team revolves around him, Eto'o and Giuli keep running, as long as the position is right, Xiao Luo sends a straight stop, if he succeeds, he has a chance to score, and if he doesn't succeed, he will organize again......
It's like a stump play, but usually other teams have a high striker to play a stump play, but Barcelona Shengsheng used a forward midfielder to kick out the stump play, which is also quite incredible.
I have to admit that Xiao Luo, who is now in full swing, is a treasure in world football, and no one can match him in terms of talent.
In terms of the ability to get rid of it on the spot, Quaresma is definitely not as good as Ronaldo, and he is better at sprinting before making moves.
If Ronaldo is the elf on the pitch, then Quaresma is the beast on the pitch, not a style at all.
Barcelona's starting lineup may not be as good as Chelsea in terms of overall standards, but it is also the top configuration in European football, and it is also worthy of the name of Yumeji.
As a top giant, Barcelona's squad depth is not comparable to Arsenal's, and there are Larsson, Motta, Xavi, Iniesta, Belletti and so on on the bench.
And one of the things that Quaresma cares about the most is naturally the little man No. 19, who still has long hair.
This season, although Messi has begun to gradually emerge, Gyuli has been able to press him on the bench most of the time, and he is far from being a key player.
Although he is also a supernova that has attracted much attention, who would have thought that this little man would achieve such incredible achievements in the future?
But now that I'm here, you'll have to step aside!
Quaresma couldn't help but laugh!
Being able to crush a group of geniuses in an era is undoubtedly the most ungodly achievement.
Quaresma felt like he could do just that.
Today, in order to deal with the strong Barcelona, Wenger also sent the strongest lineup, fortunately Arsenal did not have no one available as at the beginning of the season when they suffered a wave of injuries, otherwise Wenger would have had a headache to death.
Thierry Henry's single arrow, Pire's on the left, Guardesma on the right, and midfielders Flamini and Gilberto Silva complement the small law, this is the strongest configuration that Arsenal can come up with.
It's a bit of a gap, but it's not so big that it's desperate.
Moreover, the strength of the lineup does not determine the outcome of the game, otherwise why bother to play 90 minutes of the game, directly compare the lineup, and whoever has a strong lineup will be awarded!
If Barcelona really dare to press hard, Quaresma must teach them a good lesson and let them know what a counterattack is.
......
Barcelona kicked off first, slowly passing in the midfield, not slow, as if trying to slow down the rhythm of the game, which is also Xiao Luo's favorite rhythm, in the positional attack, the elf-like light ball, and then a fatal straight stop, and then scored, the whole process is as smooth as art.
However, Barcelona's wishful thinking will obviously fail, in front of the Premier League team, do you still want to play slow?
Real Madrid wanted to play slowly with Arsenal, but was directly crushed by the flood-like Arsenal, Arsenal, which has both the tough style of English football and Wenger's beautiful football, is not afraid of you playing slowly.
In the process of Barcelona slowly pressing, Arsenal's three lines worked together, rushed to their respective targets in a swarm, and forced Barcelona to keep speeding up the passing speed through rapid pressing, forcing Barcelona to be miserable.
It's so fast that it can't stop, and now Barcelona's passing method is passive passing, and there is not even much room for choice, and you can pass wherever you can, otherwise Arsenal's defenders will come up.
It's not that you can't get rid of it on the spot, but once you get rid of it, you will be directly counterattacked by Arsenal, which is not a result that Arsenal can afford.
Therefore, before the first wave of tentative attacks was fully launched, Barcelona's established tone of play had already become a joke, which even Barcelona coach Rijkaard did not expect, and he thought that Arsene Wenger would also play beautiful football.
"Damn it!" Rijkaard scolded secretly, then walked to the sidelines, and constantly instructed the players on the field how to play through gestures, since Arsenal is so fierce, then they can only find a way from the side, how to talk about it through the midfield, otherwise Xiao Luo will not be able to play his power.
The Barcelona players who received the instructions immediately took action, especially Oleg on the left, because of the presence of Quaresma, a defensive scumbag, so this side is the focus of Barcelona's attack.
Finally, Barcelona's attack picked up a bit.
In the fourth minute, Barcelona launched a threatening attack on the left, Van Bronckhorst broke through with the help of Deco, and sprinted all the way through the Arsenal half, at this time, Eboue was very uncomfortable.
Once Van Bronckhorst came up with the assist, Eboue put himself alone against two of Barca's attacking players, one of whom was the most feared Ronaldo, and without the help of his team-mates in the middle, Eboue would have committed suicide.
Van Bronckhorst played the ball to Ronaldo, who faced Eboue, shook off the Ivorian with a nimble change of direction, and then cut inside towards the middle.
That's where Ronaldo is scary, as long as he gets the ball in the danger zone, he can create a threat.
Gilberto Silva carefully defended in front of Xiao Luo as if facing a big enemy, as Xiao Luo's teammate in the Brazilian national team, he was even more terrible than Xiao Luo, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
However, Ronaldo clearly has no intention of tangling with Gilberto Silva, and sees the right time to send a straight kick to Eto'o's feet, which is what he is best at.
Eto'o jammed Kolo Toure and turned to a volley, although Colo Toure struggled to block, but not as fast as Eto'o, but still allowed the cheetah to complete the shot.
Fortunately, Lehmann was well prepared, made the right judgment on the spot, blocked the ball off the bottom line with his feet, and tried to keep the goal open.
There was a cry of regret in the stands, and Barcelona fans held their heads in disbelief at the scene in front of them, if this goal was scored, it would be tantamount to a perfect start.
Eto'o is also full of regrets, this is the Champions League final, if you don't get it, it will be a goal that will go down in history!
The Arsenal players are in shock, is this Barcelona's disappointment to Arsenal?
Whoever takes the lead first will be able to occupy the initiative to a certain extent, because the lagging side will inevitably attack later, and the leading side will have more strategic choices.
So far, at least, Arsenal have not lost in the games where they have scored first.
On the contrary, if it is replaced by Barcelona, the backward Arsenal will definitely not be able to play.
couldn't help but scratch his head, Barcelona's offense this time was completely bullying himself and not defending it!
No way!
Can't let Barcelona go on so rampantly!
Do you really think that if you use offense to suppress me, I won't have a way?
Naive!
Quaresma felt that he had to give Barcelona a hard blow first, even if he didn't score, he had to make Barcelona jealous, at least he didn't dare to be so unscrupulous as if he didn't exist.
Barcelona took a corner kick, Puyol and Campbell jumped up at the same time to grab the point, the ball was finally cleared by Campbell, Xiaofa got the ball outside the penalty area, saw Quaresma's raised right hand, and pushed the ball in front of Quaresma.
This foot is very comfortable!
Fully considering Quaresma's sprinting comfort, there is no need for Quaresma to stop and wait for the ball, and there will be no speed of the ball to catch up with the ball, just right.
Quaresma has already picked up the pace, with him as the dividing line, and only Marcos and Oleg on the right are left in the direction of the Barcelona goal, and Van Bronckhorst who is following Quaresma on his side.
The counterattack is coming!
Seeing this scene, all Arsenal fans couldn't help but cheer, Quaresma's counterattack goal rate is extremely high, every time it is crazy and intoxicating, and now in the Champions League final, Quaresma's counterattack is about to be staged!
Barcelona fans are a little afraid to look at it anymore, although they don't hate Quaresma, but they have to admit in their hearts that in the counterattack, Quaresma's threat is definitely the first in world football, and it is all bloody along the way!
"Quaresma is up!"
"His explosive speed with the ball made Van Bronckhorst next to him very desperate!"
"Incredible!"
'Are Arsenal going to score?'
......
The commentators of various TV stations were also extremely excited, and no one could help but be enthusiastic about such a fierce duel.
Van Bronckhorst stretched out his hand and pulled Quaresma's shirt, although he couldn't chase Quaresma, but he still had to find a way to stop Quaresma's counterattack, if he really let Quaresma pass, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Quaresma felt the drag and tried to break free, even if the jersey was torn, it didn't matter, but the quality of the jersey was too good, if you couldn't throw Van Bronckhorst away, you couldn't break free from Van Bronckhorst's pull.
"Get out!" Quaresma scolded, "Release your claws!" ”
However, Van Bronckhorst will not be so obedient, and the more irritated Quaresma is, the more he shows that his small actions are effective, and the more he can't let go.
In this way, Quaresma sprinted with the ball all the way, and Van Bronckhorstra dragged Quaresma's shirt and followed him sideways, like a conjoined baby.
Quaresma pulled Van Bronckhorst for more than 30 yards, and the two were completely entangled.
The referee kept trying to blow the whistle, but the ball was always under Quaresma's control, and according to the principle of attacking advantage, he could only wait for the two to pull and decide the winner.
Quaresma knew that scolding alone would not leave Van Bronckhorst.
And Quaresma didn't want to be stopped by a foul, the free-kick was not well placed, far less threatening than his own counter-attack.
Gritting his teeth, Quaresma cut inward, and after a single step, his body was in front of Van Bronckhorst.
Van Bronckhorst didn't dare to put a shovel at will just now, just for fear of eating cards, seeing that Quaresma cut in, where could he bear it, the whole person pounced forward, and he wanted to leave Quaresma here, at least the chance of such a foul eating cards is smaller.
However, after the center of gravity was completely pounced, the next second, Van Bronckhorst was not good.
Nima!
Quaresma actually stepped back to the side!
Co-authoring just now was a false shot, luring me?
Unable to hold his center of gravity, Van Bronckhorst stabbed forward, struggling with his left hand to keep his body balanced, and still holding on to Quaresma's shirt with his right hand, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
Web!
Van Bronckhorst fell to the ground in embarrassment, and at that moment, the shadow in the Dutch full-back's heart was too large to be desired.
Watching Van Bronckhorst fall from his side, Quaresma suddenly broke free, and finally broke free from Van Bronckhorst's shackles at once, like a wild horse, he could gallop freely on the prairie.
Take your body as bait!
Just now Quaresma lured Van Bronckhorst in such a risky way, and Van Bronckhorst was really fooled, and when he pounced on him from the side, he nimbly dodged and let Van Bronckhorst fall a on the.
Although risky, the result was perfect and exactly what he expected.
It's so easy to be untethered!
Quaresma ignored Van Bronckhorst, who fell there, and took the ball to the middle again, leaving only two Barcelona defenders in front of him.
The entanglement with Van Bronckhorst on the flank made the fans exclaim, and the way Quaresma got rid of it was even more incredible, at this moment, all the fans had involuntarily stood up, and their eyes followed Quaresma who was moving forward with excitement.
Marcos came up, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if he let Quaresma move forward, so he fought for a foul and got cards, and he also wanted to keep Quaresma here.
Two steps from just outside the corner of the penalty area, Quaresma was greeted by Marcos' defence, and he will not be intimidated by the Mexican legend, who has played against almost every top centre-back in two seasons and has been remarkably successful.
You should rush into the penalty area as soon as possible, and when you enter the penalty area, the opponent will not dare to foul unscrupulously, and Quaresma doesn't want to rush for so long to earn a free kick in a general position.
Compared to counter-attacking single knives, free kicks are too low value for money.
His eyes were fixed on Marcos's face, as if he wanted to get some information from there, but Quaresma saw only a wolf-like face.
It doesn't seem like it's easy to deal with!
With a slight sigh in his heart, but his foot action did not stop, his left foot flicked the ball to the left, and his body stretched slightly, just like his countless inward shots from the right side, which is his most iconic signature move.
Naturally, Marcos collected countless information about Quaresma before the game, and he watched Quaresma's inward shooting action countless times, and he thought that as long as Quaresma made a move, he could judge Quaresma's intentions, and sure enough, it worked now.
Without hesitation, he raised his foot to block Quaresma's next shot, he had to block it in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to block it at all.
But at this moment, the expected shooting action did not appear, Quaresma did not land after plucking the ball with his left foot, and suddenly coherently buckled the ball to the right side, and the center of gravity also changed, rushing past Marcos's side, and caught Marcos off guard.
The Stade de France was overwhelmed by exclamations, and everyone's eyes were full of incredulity and their expressions were incredulous.
Flick the tail of the cow!
Quaresma actually broke through Marcos's defense with the amazing action of flicking the tail of the bull when facing Marcos!
Tai Nima is against the sky!
As a representative figure of fancy breakthroughs, Quaresma naturally used a bulltail flick on the court, shocking countless fans.
But now Quaresma used his left foot, a non-dominant foot, to flick the tail of the ox smoothly, and said that it was not against the sky?
I am afraid that there is no one who can complete the tail flicking of the ox with non-dominant feet in actual combat.
Now it's a bit of a stretch to say that Quaresma can play the violin with his left foot, because it always feels like playing the violin is easier than Quaresma's dazzling overdrive.
The most terrifying thing is that Quaresma actually flicked the tail of the ox in front of Xiao Luo!
How good are you?
In fact, Xiao Luo has countless stunts, but the most intoxicating thing is actually the tail flicking.
However, Quaresma just had to use the tail of the ox in the game with Xiao Luo, and the difficulty of completing it was even higher than that of Xiao Luo, which was a naked provocation.
In the previous contest with Real Madrid, Quaresma used Marseille to maneuver past Zidane, and then unbelievably kicked a flying immortal from the sky, and used Zidane's moves to beat Zidane to death.
And now in front of Xiao Luo, you are using Xiao Luo's best moves to deal with Barcelona, are you so bad?
But now there is no time for everyone to marvel at Quaresma's flicking tail, because Quaresma has entered the Barcelona penalty area, and Barcelona's crisis is imminent.
At this time, Quaresma had no distractions, and only the Barcelona goal was left in his eyes.
After leaving Barcelona, it was the first time he was so close to a Barcelona fan, and Quaresma even fell into a trance for a moment.
This is the goal you want to score!
I've been waiting for this day for a long time!
Now, he won't miss a chance to crush his opponents!
Quaresma's eyes had unconsciously bloomed with a strange light, firm, sharp, and infinitely murderous.
Get past the last Oleg?
No, you don't!
He didn't even have a chance to stop himself!
Quaresma dribbled the ball into the small penalty area in three steps and two steps, but Oleg never got a chance to block Quaresma head-on, and finally only barely followed Quaresma's side, trying to reach out to stop Quaresma.
Valdés in front of goal didn't give up because Quaresma's shot was from a small angle, and as long as he could block the near corner, Quaresma would have struggled to find the back of the net.
But just when Valdés thought so, Quares got to his feet!
All the strength of the body was concentrated on the right foot, and he picked it up and ejected it, and slammed the ball hard, as if the firing pin hit the bullet in the chamber of the gun, giving the bullet a huge impact.
The ball went furiously, bombing towards the goal, and the furious force and speed made Valdés too late to react.
In a hurry, he bent down in the hope of blocking Quaresma's shot with his foot, but in time, the ball had already rushed from Valdés' feet into the goal, and slammed into the flexible net, causing infinite ripples.
Valdés was already sluggish, he couldn't believe that he had conceded the ball so quickly!
On the way to Quaresma's breakthrough, the Arsenal fans kept cheering and screaming, until the ball rushed into the goal, and the Stade de France finally reached its climax, bursting with hot energy that could almost destroy the entire planet!
Quaresma was also in a trance at the moment of the goal, looking forward to it day and night, and when he really broke through the Barcelona goal, something seemed to break free from the shackles in his heart all of a sudden.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Quaresma went berserk!
