Rheinenergy Stadium Cologne

The Portuguese and Angolan national teams have arrived at the stadium for the pre-match warm-up, and although the stadium with a capacity of more than 40,000 fans is not yet full, the momentum created is still extraordinary.

"Just in the other match, Mexico beat Iran 3-1, so we have to get a big win as well!"

Scolari got the attention of his players and got a message out of the dressing room.

This does not seem unexpected, how to say that Mexico is also a top 10 national team in the FIFA rankings, if even Asian teams cannot be beaten, then what is there to talk about competing with Portugal for the top spot in the group.

Of course, Portugal doesn't take Mexico too seriously!

Although Angola was an opponent who could not make the players enjoy, the players were still very excited in the first game of the World Cup, and they didn't need Scolari to mobilize their emotions at all, and rushed out of the dressing room with a scream.

The players of both teams came out, and the stands erupted in hot cheers, and Portugal's World Cup debut was finally about to begin!

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, captain Figo put his arms around Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma.

First, he turned his head and asked Ronaldo: "Do you want to score?" Then fight harder, and I'll pass you the ball! ”

The main task of the starter in the midfield position is to provide assists to the striker, and Figo has no problem saying that.

Ronaldo nodded excitedly, his first World Cup participation, if he can score in his debut, it will be a perfect result.

But before Ronaldo could get excited, Figo turned his head to Quaresma on the other side, "Do you want to win the Golden Boot?" Then let's score more goals in this game, I'm optimistic about you! ”

No matter what Quaresma's reaction is, Ronaldo is about to collapse!

Ask me if I want to score, ask Quaresma if I want to win the Golden Boot, why is there such a big gap between the two?

In fact, in Figo's heart, Ronaldo and Quaresma are really not on the same level now.

Even though Ronaldo is performing well, he can only be regarded as a supernova in the Premier League, and he still has not gotten rid of the category of new stars, and there is still a big gap compared with a superstar.

But Quaresma is different, this season's performance at Arsenal has simply blinded everyone's eyes, especially in the Champions League final, he single-handedly helped Arsenal win the cup, defeated the first person in football in the direct duel, Xiao Luo, and directly made him among the top superstars, and he has long been out of the category of new stars!

Since Quaresma can win the silver boot in the Premier League and win the Champions League Golden Boot with a record-breaking result, it is enough to prove that Quaresma has the strength to fight for the World Cup Golden Boot, you know, the World Cup is a place to create miracles.

Portugal's grouping is perfect, which creates the most favorable conditions for Quaresma to compete for the Golden Boot, except for the perverted performance of Ronaldo in the last World Cup, there are usually 6 goals to have a chance to win the Golden Boot, so it will be difficult for Quaresma to brush a few goals on Angola and Iran?

Figo has experienced the prosperity of the world, and he is already past the age of personal competitiveness, and he is also willing to pave the way for Quaresma, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance!

Quaresma naturally will not accept Figo's kindness, with the support of the team, it is better than fighting alone, besides, the World Cup Golden Boot has long been regarded as one of the main goals, and there is nothing wrong with shouting slogans!

"Well, naturally we have to fight, so the captain supports it more!" Quaresma's expression was still cynical, and even when he said his goal, it was as normal as if he just wanted to eat.

Pauletta in front couldn't help but pause and wanted to cry.

I want to compete for the Golden Boot too!

However, Pauletta can only think about it, because he knows what his role on the field is!

Tearing apart the opponent's defense, involving defensive energy, creating opportunities for Quaresma and Ronaldo behind him, this is the main task that Scolari assigned to him, to put it bluntly, it is to use him as a tactical center.

After all, Pauletta is a famous scorer in Ligue 1, and he has won several golden boots, but when he arrives at the national team, he can still only do some dirty work, which makes him go to reason!

Well, who let a few people behind them be so livestock, in Portugal, where there are many wingers, the center is not valued at all!

......

Standing outside the center circle, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game, his heart was already full of passion.

How do you score a good goal?

After five people in a row, and then past the goalkeeper to send the ball into the opponent's goal?

A direct free-kick?

Or is it a direct midfield lob shot?

Simply the ribs come to a foot sign please outside the instep of the instep......

There are too many ways to break the goal, Quaresma really doesn't know how to choose, and can't help but want to pretend to be forced, sometimes it's too good to be actually quite distressed!

Fortunately, at this time, his teammates passed him a high ball, otherwise the distracted Quaresma would have been slapped in the face!

As soon as the game began, Portugal launched an onslaught towards Angola, and if such an opponent can still tie Portugal's hands, then there is no talk of competing for the title, and it is better to go home early for a vacation.

After a few midfield passes, Figo received the ball and suddenly dribbled forward, using the change in frequency to break through the opponent's back, and shot directly at the top of the arc of the penalty area, shocking the opponent's cold sweat.

Figo shook his head regretfully, if he had been a little more sure of this shot, maybe it would have really changed the situation.

However, judging from this attack, the opponent's strength is indeed unsatisfactory, and almost no effective blocking of Portugal's attack, even if it is lucky to prevent it this time, can they still defend it for 90 minutes?

Quaresma had been running on the left side just now, playing the Angolan right-back around, almost unable to keep up with his movements, but before he could play, Figo almost broke the goal here, and Quaresma felt a twitch!

Say yes pass the ball to us, and you play on your own!

It's not authentic!

However, Quaresma can already see that the opponent's strength is really not good, so there is no need to test it, just light the bayonet!

So, in the next attack, Quaresma couldn't help but start to take the initiative to raise his hand for the ball.

Figo's first shot was naturally because of an itchy foot, but after a willful kick, he must still focus on the overall situation, when Ronaldo and Quaresma raised their hands to ask for the ball, Figo hesitated, or chose to distribute the ball to the feet of Quaresma on the left side.

Quaresma stopped the ball and did not act rashly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and the ball was at his feet, so Portugal's attack was destined to have infinite possibilities.

Defending him in front of Quaresma was Angolan right-back Loko, a typical African player, of average height, strong physique, as confrontational as a calf, and eager to have every piece of his body as tendon meat.

Just now, Quaresma has already found an opportunity to have a physical confrontation with him, and with Quaresma's current excellent strength, he has not been able to gain the upper hand, which shows that playing physical confrontation in front of African players is a very brainless behavior.

So, Quaresma decided to play with him, and for such a simple-minded player with developed limbs, Quaresma's unparalleled little skill is simply a nightmare.

Riding the bicycle unscrupulously, the center of gravity of the body also changes with the frequency, other people's bikes are fake handlebars, Quaresma's bike is a real threatening feint.

Loko was shaken so much that his body involuntarily shook, and he didn't know that Quaresma would break through in that direction, if he didn't follow suit, he wouldn't be able to keep up at all when Quaresma started.

Left!

Quaresma's feet finally got to the ball after a long time, and he flicked the ball forward with his left foot, and his body leaned forward violently, ready to break through from the left and continue to rush forward along the sideline.

Loko was excited, because he felt that he had judged the right direction of Quaresma's breakthrough, and with a diagonal step, he was about to continue to stop in front of Quaresma.

At that moment, Loko felt that he was going to be popular, because there are few people in world football who can have the opportunity to successfully defend Quaresma!

The wealthy family's desire to buy is like a snowflake, a generous salary, a huge amount of endorsements, the treatment of a superstar, countless models are embraced, and the life after becoming famous is simply intoxicating.

Loko couldn't help but fantasize about a bright future in his head!

However, all this illusion was like a broken mirror in the next second, collapsing, and everything became a mirror.

Because, Quaresma had already knocked the ball from behind to the right with his left heel, and then slammed into the opposite direction.

Break through that called a clean one!

Loko didn't have time to stop Quaresma, so he could only hang his head and eat dust behind Quaresma's ass, bearing the collapse of the whole world in his heart.

Quaresma didn't know what Loko's dark and hard heart had just gone through, and even if he did, he would only scoff at it.

I'm a top superstar now, don't you still practice hard every day, how far have you got, you actually think about being drunk and dreaming of death, then you deserve nothing to achieve!

In two steps, he had already dribbled the ball to the ribs of the Angolan defence, and it was Angolan defender Figueiredo who came to meet Quaresma.

Figueiredo plays in Santa Clara, a club in Portugal's second division, although he is the absolute main force, but the Portuguese League and the Portuguese Super League are not at the same level at all.

Speaking of which, Figueiredo is barely white, he should be a mixture of Portuguese and Angolan natives, and he is also quite handsome, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the grass of the Angolan team.

However, the team grass is useless in front of Quaresma, and it is far less tempting than the school flower, so it is impossible for Quaresma to show mercy!

The right foot continued to flick the ball as if to open up space for the shot, but when Figueiredo stretched his foot to block, Quaresma suddenly pulled the ball back and changed direction again to break through.

The cheers on the opening stage were already extremely loud, and Quaresma's two beautiful breakthroughs directly penetrated the Angolan defense, could it be that Quaresma is going to score now?

That's right!

Quaresma really scored!

After deducting Figueiredo, Quaresma directly pumped with his left foot, and hit extremely suddenly, others thought that Quaresma would continue to break through, but they didn't expect Quaresma to shoot directly in this position, and he was caught off guard, and even the Angolan goalkeeper was powerless.

The ball went straight into the corner of the goal, the referee's whistle blew, and the Portuguese goal was valid, 1:0.

The Rheinenergy Stadium erupted, the Portuguese fans were so excited that they fainted, and only a few minutes into the game, they took the lead, so who else is the opponent of such an unbeatable Portugal?

Quaresma was thrilled to score his first goal in the World Cup, and this was the beginning of his conquest of world football, which is worth celebrating!

Rushing all the way to the sidelines of the stands, surrounded by his teammates one after another, Quaresma roared passionately, opening his arms to the stands, as if to hug the fans of the entire stand, making these fans who interacted with Quaresma non-stop excited to madness!

"I don't think I've warmed up yet, you're all scored?"

"You always score goals like this, it seems that I have no sense of existence!"

"But I have to admit that your goal is really beautiful!"

......

I don't know where it came from, but my teammates always liked to praise Quaresma while groping for Quaresma's hair.

For the sake of her hair, Quaresma felt that she needed to mousse her hair and shape it like a hedgehog before entering the arena next time, and I would see who would dare to ravage my hair!

It was a long day of celebration, not that they were thrilled to score a goal from Angola, but that it was their first goal in the World Cup.

At this time, there were many fans who turned on the TV to watch the game because of various things, but suddenly found that the score on the scoreboard had become 1:0, and in a panic, they thought they had misremembered the opening time!

When they found out that this was not the case, they were even more shocked, because Portugal had already scored in the first four minutes of the game, and the difference in quality between the two teams was so big?

The teams participating in the World Cup are naturally also paying attention to this game, even if the group does not meet, it does not mean that the knockout stage cannot be met, and it is always okay to understand Portugal's combat effectiveness first.

But the goal in the first 4 minutes of the game was not expected by anyone, even if Angola is not a strong team, but Portugal showed a destructive momentum, but everyone was shocked.

In particular, England and the Netherlands in Group C will face off against the runners-up of Group C if Portugal finish top of Group D, with one of England and the Netherlands destined to be Portugal's opponents.

This kind of Portugal is definitely the top level!

It's really funny!

Let's not talk about the overall strength, just talk about Quaresma who scored the goal.

Just defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final, and now the good form has continued to the World Cup, scoring in the opening 4 minutes, which is simply a rush to not give people a way out.

Defend Figo, can't guard Ronaldo, guard Cristiano Ronaldo, and can't guard Quaresma......

Unless you defend with all your strength, there is a point where Portugal may not score, but the question is, do you just defend and don't attack?

In any case, Quaresma's goal brought an absolute shock to everyone.

Scolari didn't have to bubble up on the sidelines, which meant he didn't have a beard, otherwise he would have been able to show his beard now!

Again and again, Quaresma has broken his own expectations of his ceiling, brought him surprise after surprise, and now, finally, it is harvest season.

Quaresma, who is in full form, can't even stop Barcelona, and now, it's Portugal's turn to have a headache for their opponents!

It doesn't matter how you behave, as long as you can score goals, as long as you can lead the team to victory, then you are a good player!

Don't look at Quaresma always causing trouble, even the team bus was smashed before the game, but as long as you can take Portugal to win the championship, let alone smash the car, even if you smash the FIFA headquarters, then I will carry it for you...... Well, I probably can't hold it......

Anyway, that's what it means, together with the goal of winning, unscrupulous means, you are good!

......

After a long day of celebration, it finally ended with the intervention of the referee and the game was able to restart.

Now, the big picture is in full control!

After Angola restarted, it didn't seem to be too affected by the goals conceded, after all, they have been colonized by Portugal for so many years, and their rebellion has been suppressed again and again, which is similar to a football game!

Conceding a goal, don't care, no matter what, we have to score a goal!

In line with such a principled goal, Angola's attack is impressive, no matter how they are also a team that can participate in the World Cup, there is a huge gap between the strength and Portugal, but it is not impossible to play even a little attack.

can fight his way out of Africa, how can he have two brushes.

Portugal, under the command of Scolari, was not careless, and the midfield and backfield were well defenced, even if the front four players were less involved in the defense, they were still able to firmly control the situation and did not let Angola's attack cause too much damage.

Moreover, because of Angola's aggressive attack, Portugal's counter-attacking opportunities also followed, which is what Portugal, which has Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, is what Portugal is best at.

In the 10th minute of the game, Valente successfully broke the ball on the side and passed the ball to Petit who came to answer, because Angola pressed too fiercely, Petitra turned the ball and immediately distributed the ball to the feet of Miguel on the right side, without rushing forward to attack.

At this time, Quaresma and Ronaldo and other attacking players who have been squatting near the midfield waiting to be fed are like cats that smell fishy, and they have long been unable to resist the urge to move forward, spreading their feet and running forward.

Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo rushed too fast, and Pauletta accelerated in the middle of the pitch with a dog-beeping kick.

Am I the right center?

Miguel saw the timing at the back and played a long pass into the front of the pitch in the direction of Quaresma's left flank.

Miguel has been playing for Sporting Lisbon and has a certain tacit understanding with Quaresma, and most importantly, Quaresma's performance has impressed a number of Portuguese teammates, so Quaresma is usually the first pass option for counterattacks.

Portugal's counterattack is here again!
