Chapter 410: Intimidation and Momentum
Quaresma and Henry have a bad relationship, so naturally they will not quarrel over a small penalty, and Henry's coquettish way of taking a penalty at Quaresma also makes Quaresma defeated.
Since Henry wants to complete the hat-trick, Quaresma will definitely do it, and conversely, Henry will definitely not fight Quaresma.
With the ball on Henry at the penalty spot, Quaresma stretched out his hand to Henry, signaling that you could start the show.
Henry and Quaresma high-fived, and then clenched his fist twice in the chest, meaning brother, I remember!
Facing Dudek, who has already fished the ball out of the goal four times, Henry did it overnight and did not give Liverpool any chance for the second goal, and the penalty also means that Arsenal has a 5-0 lead over Liverpool.
Utter massacre!
At Anfield, Quaresma and his team-mates celebrated the victory that could almost go down in history.
It wasn't Arsenal's biggest win over Liverpool in history, but that record was already in the past.
Playing a team of Liverpool who are aiming to win the championship like this, even if Liverpool plays one less person on the field, Arsenal's brutality still makes everyone feel uneasy.
The game ended not long after the restart, and the referee did not even blow the game strictly according to stoppage time, but ended 90 minutes and blew the whistle for the end of the game.
At this moment, the whole of Anfield was filled with hellish wails, and for the KOP, this match was tantamount to the end of the world.
Quaresma stood in the middle of the field, once again looking around the stands like a man of the world.
Now, it's finally going to be quiet!
What he heard was no longer insults, but sobbing cries, and tonight, Anfield was full of tears!
But Quaresma went from a headache to the soles of his feet, like a bucket of ice water poured down from his head on a hot summer day.
Although he only scored one goal in this game, he was still the brightest star on the field, and even Thierry Henry, who scored a hat-trick, was far from stealing the limelight from Quaresma.
This is the best way to hit Liverpool!
Since you like to insult me, you must also like the way you lose now, don't you?
I'm curious to know, after this battle, will you dare to insult me next time?
Believe me, if there is a next time, then it is my mercy to give you a score of 5:0, and you will definitely lose more!
With his head raised, he walked into the players' tunnel unruly, and at that moment, the whole of Anfield seemed to be at the feet of Quaresma.
The post-match press conference is naturally a place that many people pay attention to, with bloodbaths, red cards, injuries, fake falls and even besieging the referee in the matchup, and the game seems to have everything to watch.
Benitez sat in his chair with a gloomy face, his eyes glazed out, as if the game had drained him of all his energy.
And sitting next to Benitez is the captain Gerrard, Kuyt because of the red card, in order to protect him, Benitez did not let Kuyt attend the press conference.
"It's a shame to lose the game, but anyway, it's over, and we should forget about this defeat as much as possible and prepare for the next games!"
'But I would say that we were given special care by the referee in this game, we were sent off two players and we were awarded a penalty, which is obviously not normal!'
'Admittedly, Arsenal are a very strong team and if we lose because of our lack of quality, we won't complain!'
"But the truth is, we lost inexplicably, we didn't lose to Arsenal in a lot of statistics, but we lost the game by a huge score, obviously there are a lot of problems in this!"
"The same attacking player in the box went to the ground, Kuyt received two yellow cards and was sent off, while Quaresma went down in the same position and got the penalty awarded to them by the referee!"
"With such a double standard, it is difficult for us to accept such a result and reality!"
'We're going to appeal to the FA and even though I know it's unlikely, I hope this game can be restarted at a different time and in an open and fair way!'
Benitez picked up the microphone and, before everyone was ready, suddenly opened fire!
This remark pointed to the referee's decision that there was a problem, and bombarded the referee, although he did not say how Arsenal was, but the meaning was obvious, that is, Arsenal and the referee had something unknown to do.
The reporters were in an uproar, they didn't expect Benitez to be so hot-tempered, although Benitez has always been known for being strict and rigid, but it is really rare to directly bombard the referee and bombard the opponent like this.
It seems that this bloodbath has really made many people lose their cool, including Benitez.
Originally, everyone speculated that there would be no peace after the game, but now it seems that the storm is coming.
"Mr. Benitez, do you think Quaresma is faking a fall?"
"Mr. Benitez, aren't you afraid that publicly accusing referees will be punished by the FA?"
"Do you think Kuyt and Carragher's red cards were wronged?"
The reporters did not care about the order of the venue, and immediately after Benitez's speech, they rushed to throw questions at Benitez.
But fortunately, the Liverpool press officer felt that the scene was about to get out of control, and quickly asked the reporters to sit back and maintain order.
Benitez has just said nothing, and if he continues to speak, the FA doesn't know how to punish Liverpool!
Quaresma watched the chaos of the venue with a cold eye, sneering and sneering.
Sure enough, after losing one's mind, one will also lose one's most basic judgment on things, or rather, this is selective.
The facts are in front of everyone's eyes, but if you close your eyes and don't admit it, there is probably no way to open your eyes.
The playful Quaresma suddenly turned around and made a camera-carrying gesture at Benitez, just as he did to Kuyt during the match.
In much the same vein, he recorded Kuyt's fake fall with a video camera, and now he also recorded Benister's eyes opening and talking nonsense.
The reporters burst into laughter, Quaresma's action was so ironic!
Not surprisingly, this move will become a signature move for Quaresma, and will be the laughing joke of countless fans throughout his career.
Benitez's face turned pale, how could he not know what Quaresma meant!
This little deflated three is so annoying!
However, at this time, at Wenger's signal, Quaresma picked up the microphone, and this scene made them as excited as chicken blood in the eyes of reporters.
Before the game, Quaresma scolded Benister, and now Benist has come to question Arsenal's victory, and it is strange that Quaresma can be calm!
Let's make a fuss, the bigger the trouble, the better!
The reporters all look like they are watching the excitement and fearing that the world will not be chaotic.
"I think the referee's standard of punishment today is very uniform, and there is no difference between the two teams!"
"I understand Mr. Benitez's anger after the loss, but please respect the reality and respect the result!"
"Kuyt's fake fall, fans all over the world see it, there is nothing to wash, if Mr. Benitez insists that it is not a fake fall, please go and look at the FIFA football rules, I think there must be a very reasonable and rigorous explanation above!"
"Referees at the World Cup can award Kuyt to fake a fall, so why can't referees in the Premier League?"
"If the referee turns a blind eye to Kuyt's fake fall, then it's a real loss of fairness!"
"And Carragher's foul on me was obvious, the slow-motion replay says it all, and the bruise on my foot doesn't lie, it's a penalty!"
"So Mr. Benix's so-called double standard remarks are simply ridiculous, because there is a fundamental difference between the two things."
"As for Carragher's red card, it was because he insulted the referee after losing his cool, which is even more deserved!"
"To win Liverpool, I think we will all be excited tonight and can't sleep, as for whether some people are sad and can't sleep, it's not within my concern!"
"So, I wish you all a good night and a good dream!"
……
Unabashedly refuted Benister's remarks, Quaresma put down the microphone and was able to make the other party speechless at the press conference, which was really cool!
Benitez's face was black as if he was about to drip water, and if it weren't for the fact that he had a strong heart, he would have been sent to the hospital in a fit of rage by now.
The Liverpool manager, who was so angry that he lost his mind, left the press conference in anger and left the press conference in a riot of reporters.
Gerrard's face was also ugly, I don't know if he was angry because Benitez was scolded or angry because of the team's heavy defeat, and followed Benitez to leave the scene.
The press conference ended unhappily, but the reporters were not in a hurry at all, because it was hot enough and eye-catching enough.
Sure enough, just as Manchester United left Liverpool on a bus, the news about the game had swept the whole world like a virus, attracting everyone's attention.
"Anfield fiasco, Liverpool lose and lose"
"Benitez blasted referee for favouring Arsenal and appealed to FA for replay"
"Kuyt was sent off for consecutive fake falls, and the root cause of Liverpool's rout is this"
"Quares' sarcasm after Marseille Benitez can't afford to lose"
Public opinion frantically reported and hyped up the highlights of this game, which caused a lot of shock in world football.
If you don't consider the stance of the fans of the two teams, then for neutral fans, this game is definitely the biggest drama of the year!
Even though Liverpool seem to have been a bit quiet in recent seasons, they are still a very competitive opponent in the Champions League, and no one should be underestimated.
But such a Liverpool team was still beaten by Arsenal at home, which brought only a deep shock to everyone.
As for the various conflicts and accidents that occurred in the game, they were even more talked about.
As Quaresma said, the facts are in front of you, and it is clear at a glance whether you fake a fall or not, which does not need to be refuted at all!
At this time, the video of Kuyt's two fake falls has gone viral on the Internet, and everyone looks at Kuyt who faked the fall as if they were clowns.
Really, do you dare to fall a little more fake?
There may be a difference in the definition of fake falls, but there is no controversy about Kuyt's two fake falls!
I'm about to fall off gravity!
The two yellow cards were not wronged at all, and even the referee had shown mercy, otherwise he would have left the game earlier.
If you insist that Kuyt didn't fake a fall, then you're either sitting crooked on Liverpool's side, or you're talking nonsense with your eyes open.
It's no wonder that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was scolded by Quaresma, even if you need to speak from Liverpool's standpoint, at least follow the accepted principles of this world!
As for the penalty kick made by Quaresma, there was no controversy!
That is, Carragher did not really make a dead hand, otherwise Quaresma would have been scrapped on the spot.
Slow-motion replays clearly showed Carragher kicking Quaresma's foot, which had nothing to do with a fake fall.
In short, Liverpool lost a complete game inside and out, but I don't know how much impact this fiasco will have on Liverpool.
If Liverpool never recovers, it's fun!
Of course, Liverpool's current form is not very good, at least for now, they no longer need to have illusions about the Premier League, the championship is no longer their share!
Some radical Liverpool fans have even publicly shouted that the club wants Benitez to be fired, and the Champions League glory of the 04-05 season has been exhausted by Benitez, and they have run out of patience.
They don't want the team to not even be in the Champions League next season – with Liverpool's current league standings, that's a very likely outcome.
But it doesn't have much to do with Quaresma, anyway, he just knows that he played a good game.
After playing Liverpool, the team was disbanded, and the international players returned to the national team to report and compete in the European Championship qualifiers.
Quaresma was once again unselected for the national team, and the stubborn old man Scolari decided to pay attention to using the qualifiers to scout the newcomers and train the newcomers, and Quaresma had nothing to do.
Well, Quaresma is not very interested in several of Portugal's opponents in the group stage, so let's not play or play.
So Quaresma stayed at the training base, either training with a few teammates every day, or going to the academy to tease Wilshere, and life was good.
It's just that before Quaresma could relax for a few days, Mendes knocked on the door of Quaresma's villa again.
"You're really idle!" Quaresma handed Mendez a glass of red wine, leaned lazily on the sofa, and smiled and teased Mendes.
As a well-known agent predator in world football, shouldn't he be busy manipulating player transfers, screening endorsements for players, and helping players negotiate contract renewals and salary increases with clubs?
You know, Mendes has more players than whites, and the workload is beyond imagination, even if he has a dedicated agent team to do it, it will still make him anxious.
Mendes looked at the lazy Quaresma, thinking that as long as he participated in a competition once a week, he would have a lot of pounds to take, and countless brands waving money to the door in the hope that he would endorse the product, compared to his own hard work in it, Mendes had an urge to strangle Quaresma.
But now Quaresma is the biggest player in Mendes' agency, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cash cow and career foundation, even if Mendes strangles his son, he will not strangle Quaresma.
"Of course you don't need to care about anything, but I'm responsible for you, okay?" Mendez sat on the couch and said to Quares.
It's true that Quaresma is now completely in charge, and all things related to transfer endorsements and the like, all that is done by Mendes, he just needs to nod or shake his head.
"So, don't tell me which team is interested in me this time?" Quaresma asked suspiciously, the winter transfer period was coming, and he couldn't think of Mendes at this time.
Mendes saw Quaresma's doubts, and his expression management was about to get out of control.
"Can't you care about anything other than your game?" Mendez had a dark face, and he literally shouted at Quaresma.
Quaresma shrugged indifferently, "With you, of course I don't need to care!" ”
Hey? When Mendes said this, he was a little happy in his heart
Well, being recognized by others for your work is a pride that no one can get rid of.
"Although this is not the main purpose of my visit, but since you mentioned it, I also need to tell you that Liverpool FC has just contacted me to ask if you have the possibility of transferring to Liverpool, after this battle, Benitez is already very eager for you, I am afraid they are really planning to pay a large transfer fee to make an offer to Arsenal!"
Mendez soothed his emotions and sat back down before he said to Quares.
Quaresma pouted when he heard this, can Liverpool really afford his transfer fee?
Now, according to the transfer market's assessment of his own value, it is definitely to surpass Zidane's world football transfer fee record, and even because of the rise of the pound against the euro, it is not impossible to be worth more than 100 million euros.
Does Liverpool really have that much courage?
Moreover, he has little interest in playing for Liverpool, at least compared to Arsene Wenger, Benitez is not a kind guy.
He wanted the club to be like home, not a cold place to work.
Benitez's strict management of the dressing room is probably unacceptable to Quaresma.
The main thing is that he doesn't think Liverpool can shell out such a large amount of money.
"I don't want to pay attention to the transfer matter anymore, let's let Arsenal worry about it first, and when someone's offer impresses Arsenal, I will decide whether to go or not!" Quaresma waved his hand.
This is indeed his true thoughts, anyway, the final decision is in his own hands, even if someone offers Arsenal can not refuse, but if he does not nod, he does not believe that Arsenal will send him to the reserve team and force him to transfer away.
In that case, I'm afraid even A.T. Kearney training base will be blown up to rubble by angry Arsenal fans!
Mendes nodded indifferently, he had already expected Quaresma's attitude, and if Quaresma hadn't mentioned the transfer, he wouldn't have even taken the initiative to tell Quaresma about it.
"The reason why you don't care about things other than the game is that you don't know that the two biggest awards, the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, are about to begin?" Mendez finally got to the point.
Quaresma's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was busy training lately, but he really ignored the selection of the double footballer man.
Count the days, the awards ceremony is soon!
But it doesn't seem like there's anything to be done, just wait for the final result to be revealed, and I don't know what Mendes is going to do.
"There is no way for other stars to compete with you, and if nothing else, you can definitely win the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year!"
"However, there are always surprises and contingencies, so we can't do nothing, we need to build as much momentum as possible before the results are announced to make sure the title is on your head!"
'I've spoken to the Arsenal club and they'll use their channels to build momentum with us.
"And more importantly, taking this opportunity to enter the eyes of all fans, we must also have a higher breakthrough in commercial endorsement, and we can't give up this heat!"
"I have already helped you screen the endorsement products, you only need to shoot a few advertisements in the near future, and when the selection is hyped, the advertisements will also be put out, at that time, you are the first person in world football in the real sense, whether it is competition or business!"
"You don't have to be willful, you only need to shoot a little commercial and a large amount of pounds and dollars will be credited, even if you pick up money, it's not so easy!"
Mendez persuaded Quaresma, who was really worried that Quaresma would be as willful as before, and that his endorsements would be very cautious and pitiful.
Quaresma nodded when he heard this, it turned out to be this matter.
He really has no reason to refuse the endorsement of the door, as long as the product is okay and he can sign a good price, he will not turn away the banknote.
"No problem, I trust your decision." Without any hesitation, Quaresma replied, "But only if you train and compete." ”
A Quaresma who is so cooperative that Mendes is about to cry, he can finally make a lot of money on Quaresma!
So in the next few days, Quaresma completed endorsement contracts with several world-class brands, and the brand owners moved quickly, and the advertisements were immediately filmed, and before Arsenal regrouped to prepare for the game, Quaresma had already completed all the advertising shoots.
The endorsed products are all-inclusive, including mobile phones, computers, casual wear, toiletries, of course, nonsense endorsements such as excavator schools have long been screened out and thrown aside by Mendes.
And this wave of operations has brought Quaresma more than 1,000w euros a year, which is far higher than the salary he received at Arsenal.
It's no wonder that those big-name stars with high commercial value don't take a salary to eat, the salary is used to match their identity, and only endorsement fees can make them full!
Shooting commercials is not something that Quaresma can't accept, as long as the makeup artist is not a sissy and there is nothing in the advertising script that he can't accept, it is not a problem.
However, it is a pity that the heroine who cooperated with him in the advertising is not a big name, and she is not a peerless beauty in his aesthetics, which inevitably disappoints him a little.
Although he didn't expect anything to happen with them, admiring beautiful women is always pleasing to the eye, isn't it?
The endorsement income was immediately transferred to the investment field by Quaresma, making money with money, which is much faster than making advertisements by himself.
He's still waiting to become the richest man at the top and then buy the next league to play!
"What's wrong with your neck?"
On the first day of the team's assembly, Henry appeared in front of Quaresma with his neck crooked, which caused Quaresma to wonder.
Henry moved his neck slightly, his expression immediately changed, and then, his neck slowly moved back again.
"Ah, yes, I've recently gotten a new way to train my heading ability!" Henry hummed and chirped for a while, and then explained seriously: "If you want to have super heading ability, the first thing is that the neck must be flexible, only when the neck is flexible, you can more fully exert force, so it is very important to exercise the flexibility of the neck!" ”
"Like me, keeping your neck at an angle at all times can exercise the flexibility of your neck, which in turn improves your heading ability!"
"You can try it too, it works great!"
Henry's serious appearance, Quaresma almost believed it!
But just as Quaresma was about to complain, Van Persie jumped out of the side with a look of surprise, grabbed Henry's arm, and shook it vigorously.
"Are you telling the truth? Can this exercise really improve your heading ability? ”
At this moment, Van Persie gives people the feeling that he is still suffering from illness and is still looking for a famous doctor, but finally sees a small advertisement on the antenna mast.
Henry smiled slightly, secretive, "You'll know if you try!" ”
Van Persie walked away happily as if he had obtained a peerless martial arts cheat, and his happy appearance made Quaresma unable to bear to break his beautiful illusions.
Henry couldn't help but be proud, and turned to ask Quaresma, "Would you like to try this method too?" ”
Quaresma couldn't help but have a black line on his head.
Do you really think I can't see that you're just stiff neck?
Do you think I'm as easy to fool as Van Persie?
According to your theory, is it more appropriate for me to practice Western Xinjiang dance?
The nimble head is about to be thrown out
Anyway, Henry's thing is not good!
"Since you are so generous in sharing training methods, then I will also share with you my method of practicing the outer instep!" Quaresma smiled in his heart, but the expression on his face seemed to be very reluctant, and he made a decision with a lot of determination.
Henry was stunned, he was quite interested in this!
"In fact, the method is very simple, if you want to practice the outer instep stunt, you must first turn yourself into an inner figure, so that the outer instep kicked out is powerful!"
"As for how to turn yourself into an outer instep, it's very simple, just go to the orthopedic department for a minor surgery and change the forward angle of your right foot!"
"You don't want to wear this method!"
Henry: ""
