Chapter 455: Nima, You Actually Gave Up This Game?
When drowsiness comes, someone will send a pillow!
Shortly after the start of the second half, Cesc Fabregas was brought to the ground by a Lyon defender as he picked up the ball on the edge of the box, and Arsenal were awarded a direct free-kick in a very good position.
Quaresma stood in front of the ball, although Xiaofa and Ballack were also a little eager to try, but there was nothing that a young model could not solve, if there was, then a young model and a......
Quaresma's free-kicks are certainly not as good as they are in the best of the best, but they are definitely among the best in world football, especially with his curling free-kicks, which seem to be sharper than David Beckham's Machemitar.
That is, his elevator ball has not completely stolen the division, if he can directly switch between the arc free kick and the elevator ball at will, then I am afraid that any goalkeeper will collapse.
Standing in front of the ball, slowly retreating, but keeping his eyes on Lyon's goal, sharp.
When the close-up captured Quaresma's expression, everyone couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
His eyes are too lethal!
It's like fighting to the death, only by killing the opponent in front of you can you break free from the cage and regain your freedom!
I'm afraid, this goal is going to be scored!
The thought could not help but pop up in everyone's minds.
Kupe was nervous and waiting, directing the human wall to block possible angles, but he was busy for a while, but it didn't have any substantive effect, Quaresma's curling ball spun directly into the dead corner of the Lyon goal in an extremely strange situation, that is, Kupe was far away, but still out of reach.
Quaresma stood in place, his hands raised in the air, and at this moment, the focus of the whole world was already focused on him, dazzling.
It was almost a game-killing goal!
When the score has become 2:4, Lyon really has no chance to turn the tables!
Not only this game, but also two rounds of knockout rounds, Lyon has completely said goodbye to the Champions League semi-finals.
Lyon's home stadium was deadly silent, and everyone couldn't believe the cruel reality in front of them, and the huge gap between Lyon and Arsenal had reached a level of despair.
Once upon a time, they were used to getting drunk with Juninho scoring spectacular free-kicks in front of them, but now, Quaresma sent them to hell in the same way.
Everyone was in a state of utter despair.
However, the fans who watched the game in front of the TV couldn't help but worship Quares.
Once again, he single-handedly defeated his opponent and completely dominated the game!
Two goals, an own goal and an assist, all four of Arsenal's goals were dominated by Quaresma.
This free-kick, in particular, is a stroke of genius.
Quaresma has proved to those who doubt Arsenal because of Thierry Henry's absence that Arsenal can win with him.
Lyon's strength should not be underestimated, but at Lyon's home stadium, even if the two goals are embarrassing, Quaresma can still lead Arsenal to a victory.
Does anyone still think that they will be able to turn the tables when they get to Lyon away?
The broadcast footage has already given a close-up of Houllier, the Frenchman standing on the sidelines as if he had been a walking dead, and he was completely two people from the pre-game time when he vowed to beat Arsenal.
It turns out that the mouth cannon really doesn't work, and if you don't have the strength, what you say will end up being a joke!
......
The suspense of the game was lost, and after a two-goal lead, even if Wenger didn't say hello, the players on the pitch knew to take the initiative to slow down.
And by about 70 minutes, Wenger had already replaced Quaresma, after all, the game had been played like this, even if Quaresma was no longer on the field, I am afraid that Lyon would not be able to make too many waves, and the rest of the players were enough to control the situation.
Let Quaresma save some energy and go to Liverpool next, this is the result of how big an FA Cup Arsenal has been, if Quaresma does not play well due to physical reasons, it is really sorry for Arsenal's hard planning.
In the end, Arsenal defeated Lyon 4-2 away from home to win the first leg, not only with a two-goal advantage, but also with four away goals, which was absolutely the end of the world for Lyon.
After the game, Quaresma also went to Benzema to exchange jerseys.
Of course, Benzema has just debuted now, and he is not too famous, and he is just a little brother in the team.
Therefore, Benzema is both excited and apprehensive about Quaresma's behavior of exchanging jerseys with him instead of another team's big brother, because he has no idea what Quaresma values him.
Could it be a chrysanthemum?
In fact, Quaresma is only a whim, even if he has been taking the blame, but it is undeniable that his strength has always been at a first-class level, especially in terms of strategy, absolutely top, and his presence can make the wingers on the field multiply their power.
"Do you want to come and take the blame for me?"
Quaresma couldn't help but laugh.
Benzema was stunned and subconsciously handed the jersey to Quaresma, but he didn't know what Quaresma was saying to him.
Quaresma patted him on the shoulder, turned and laughed and left.
If according to the trajectory of historical development, Benzema will become Ronaldo's royal backer in Real Madrid in the future, that is where his talents can really be brought into play.
As for helping yourself, it's actually just a joke.
At the press conference after the game, Houllier closed himself directly, except for a few words at the beginning that he was sorry to lose the game, and did not open his mouth during the whole process, which made the reporters about to rebel.
You lost the game so badly, you didn't even say a few words?
If you don't say a few words, we'll all be embarrassed to laugh at you!
It's like bullying someone, only if the other party fights back, it's interesting for you to bully, if the other party doesn't fight back, what sense of accomplishment is there?
However, Houllier is really embarrassed now, he said so impassionedly before the game, but now he has lost his pants, and whoever he replaces is probably going to collapse.
The 2:4 score may not be considered a bloodbath, but it is a bit torturous to think that the score was scored by the opponent in a wave after a two-goal lead.
This is Lyon's home stadium, and if it loses like this, how can Houllier explain it to Lyon fans?
"The game has just been played, everyone can see the game process clearly, you can also see the embarrassment of some people now, I won't say much, save too much ridicule, some people should say that I don't have a humanitarian spirit!"
Quaresma laughed cynically, his words made the reporters laugh out loud, and then look at Houllier's lost look, it was like Houllier's wound was pierced again.
The sad thing is not that you can't beat the opponent, but that the opponent doesn't take you seriously at all!
Presumably, Quaresma just didn't take Houllier and Leon seriously now.
Let Holier jump like a clown, and in the end, he just needs to step on it to death!
......
By the time Arsenal prepared to fly back to London after a night in France, the Champions League results were already fermenting and became the focus of heated discussions among fans.
Don't look at the match between Arsenal and Lyon, which is not the most watched, but it is the most impressive.
In the other three matchups, even if there is a certain gap in the strength of the two teams, because of the particularity of the Champions League game, it is actually difficult to solve.
The strong Chelsea only won 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich, and the tenacity of the German supremacy made Chelsea very uncomfortable;
Valencia, who lacked a major general, drew at home against an attacking Milan;
Liverpool and Manchester United were evenly matched, with Liverpool winning their old rivals at home thanks to a controversial decision;
In contrast, Arsenal's victory was almost like a guaranteed one.
Don't look at Lyon's 2:0 at the beginning, but Arsenal came back and scored four goals in a row, which made Lyon have no temper.
Such a result is simply not something that several other teams dare to imagine.
Even if Lyon's strength is not the top in the quarterfinals, Arsenal's performance is definitely outstanding and outstanding.
Naturally, the praise of Quaresma has also reached an unparalleled level, after all, his performance is indisputable.
The season is far from over, but in reality, Quaresma has proven himself to be the best star on the planet.
There are even many who believe that even if Arsenal stop there and do not win the Champions League or even the Premier League this season, Quaresma can still win this year's double Footballer of the Year with his outstanding performance.
That's what a superstar is capable of.
What honors did Ronaldo have when he won the World Footballer of the Year at Barcelona?
What accolades did Ronaldinho have when he started winning World Footballer of the Year?
It's more about relying on personal performances.
And now Quaresma is the same!
This is not a big year, there is no World Cup, no European Championship, the Champions League and the national leagues are the biggest competitions, and in this way, Quaresma has every chance to win the glory of Mr. Double again.
This is no joke.
However, Quaresma will not agree with this statement, because he knows who his competitors are!
Kaka's performance in Milan is also very eye-catching, and once Milan really wins the Champions League, then Kaka, who has single-handedly led Milan forward, will definitely win Mr. Double.
So, this is by no means a reason to be optimistic.
Besides, the pursuit of victory is the most fundamental thing, and the double footballer is nothing more than an incidental product.
I won't give up any chance of winning the championship.
Playing game by game, game by game, Quaresma believes that he will take Arsenal to the top of the world.
At that time, who else could snatch the Golden Globes?
......
After returning to London, Arsenal did not have any time to rest, and arranged training sessions directly the next day, although it was mainly recovery training, but it could also be seen that the schedule was urgent.
In this game against Liverpool, Arsenal must get a win!
Liverpool are no match for Arsenal in their own right, but if a defeat to the Reds and Manchester United win the same game, the gap between the two teams is reduced to just four points, which is not good news.
How could Quaresma put the lead in his hands fly away?
If you can't suppress Manchester United this season, it will be even more difficult next season!
Therefore, this game must be won, even if it costs more!
Arrived at Liverpool a day earlier, in order to give the players better recovery time, even Wenger did not arrange a large amount of training in the past two days, more technical and tactical exercises, for Liverpool, Arsenal must be prepared.
Everyone's eyes have begun to focus on this game, after all, this is a Premier League power conversation, and at the same time, it involves the championship battle, how can it not attract attention?
However, at this time, there are people who are more anxious than Arsenal and Liverpool.
"Liverpool will definitely succeed in sniping Arsenal in this game, even if Liverpool has lost the possibility of winning the title, they will definitely not be willing to let themselves be a stepping stone for Arsenal to win the championship!"
"At the same time, Arsenal have just defeated Lyon in the Champions League, and Lyon's manager, Mr. Houllier, is Liverpool's meritorious coach, so Liverpool has every reason to avenge Liverpool in the game!"
"It's going to be a great game and I'm predicting that the two teams will play hard, but in the end Liverpool will win!"
......
Ferguson gave frequent interviews and kept expressing his thoughts on the game, as if he was more anxious than Wenger and Benish.
Indeed, Ferguson was definitely more interested in this game than Wenger and Benish.
Ferguson has no ambitions?
How can it be?
The two opponents of this game, Arsenal and Liverpool, are real opponents who can influence Manchester United!
Manchester United need to overtake Arsenal to win the Premier League title;
Manchester United's opponent in the Champions League quarterfinals is none other than Liverpool, who just lost at Anfield;
If you want to go hand in hand on both fronts, then there is only one result in this game that Ferguson wants most - Arsenal and Liverpool will fight each other until they lose and then Liverpool will win.
In this way, the gap between Manchester United and Arsenal has narrowed, and at the same time, because of Liverpool's fierce battle, the second leg of the next midweek match with Manchester United, I am afraid that there will be no weakness, and Manchester United will not be able to take it at that time?
All, Ferguson is looking forward to such a result.
However, Ferguson could not have imagined that the game did not go according to his expectations at all, and the huge overtake made Ferguson so angry that he almost had a heart attack!
When the official announcement of the starting list of the game, everyone was shocked to find that Liverpool actually sent a second-tier lineup, three main players plus five substitutes and a few young players, this is the answer Benist gave everyone!
Ferguson couldn't help but squirt a mouthful of blood!
Nima, you actually gave up this game?
