Chapter 182: Happy Birthday, Ricardo

Well, after a little bit of arguing with Pepe, Quaresma was in a much better mood.

In fact, De Jong is actually not so terrible, if it weren't for that heart-warming kick, he might not have made a name for himself in football, as long as he didn't lose his mind, how could he casually throw weapons of mass destruction on the field?

The important thing is that De Jong actually played center back in this game, and Quaresma probably didn't have much chance of facing him directly.

Even, the current De Jong may still be just a small piece of fresh meat, far from the old bacon later, and he may not be so irritable.

However, on the day of the game, when the players from both sides lined up in the tunnel to get ready to enter, Quaresma realized that he was wrong.

De Jong was also too anxious, he was only in his early 20s, and he already looked like old bacon, which made Quaresma feel like he was competing with his uncles.

I'm afraid this product doesn't have youth at all!

What are you in a hurry!

Although he is complaining, Quaresma will not fail to face up to De Jong's strength, since this is the case, then it is better to be careful.

The game started and the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium had a strong atmosphere, no less than the English club's home stadium, and in a different style.

Quaresma appeared on the left flank, defended by right wing-back Griguera, who would later join Juventus.

In fact, as long as he is on the wing, Quaresma is not afraid of any full-back, and if he wants to defend Quaresma, unless the opponent is in a bad state, or Quaresma is not in good shape.

Even if it is a two-man defense, Quaresma is still very sure that he can break through the past, and if he doesn't have this confidence, then why is he called the most terrifying blasting point on the side?

Henry is not there, Quaresma knows that he may have to take on a lot of responsibilities, Van Persie still looks like he hates eating cakes, Reyes has just returned from injury and his state cannot be guaranteed, and Reyes did not have a particularly outstanding performance on the front line, counting on the combination of the two of them, it is better to expect Campbell in the backfield to reverse the car!

It's just that Quaresma's idea was suddenly slapped in the face today, and he never expected that Van Persie and Reyes would actually become the heroes of Arsenal's victory today.

What Quaresma didn't expect was that he actually managed Arsenal's two goals by himself......

Arsenal and Ajax, who are playing at home, have a big attack, the opponent is not bad, and the confrontation is not inferior, looking at the situation, it is almost evenly matched.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Babel took the ball on the right side, passed Quaresma cleanly, and then continued to move forward, Ashley Cole's defense did not play much in front of him, and then a cross into the Arsenal penalty area, striker Charlie Steas pressed Senderos to rush to the top, almost broke through the Arsenal goal.

Two minutes later, Galasek went straight down the middle, Charlie Steas turned his back and Bukari met the ball and fired a shot that would have been dangerous for Arsenal if he hadn't been a little too excited to blow the ball away.

A wave of attacking attacks made Arsenal's defense a little embarrassed, but soon, Arsenal also returned the color.

Quaresma took the ball on the left side, Ashley Cole picked it up, the tacit understanding between the two was not enough, but a simple two-over-one combination was still possible, and then, Quaresma's 45-degree angle cross, let Van Persie go to the top.

Van Persie grabbed the point, but there was no way to directly shake his head to attack the goal, so he chose to ferry to Reyes at the back post, like a center forward.

Unfortunately, although Reyes had a shot before the Arsenal defender, the shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper and he missed the goal.

The game was played at a fast pace, even faster than the average Premier League game, with little time for either side to think and just play on instinct.

The first half was intense, but neither was a goal.

As he walked off the pitch, Quaresmala caught up with Van Persie.

"In the second half, we can change positions appropriately, disrupt the opponent's defense by surprise, maybe we can score!"

With the ball in the middle and Van Persie pulling the defence to the wings, he has more chances and easier to create goals.

Although Wenger did not have such an arrangement in this game, the previous change on the right side worked well, and Quaresma felt that he could continue to follow it.

It was a very normal communication, but Quaresma never expected that Van Persie would actually shake off Quaresma's hand.

"You think you're the manager? You still want to command me? ”

Van Persie's tone was a little irritable, as if he was angry, which made Quaresma stunned in place.

Who messed with him?

I didn't want to command you! Isn't this a matter of discussing with you?

If you don't want to, you don't want to, what kind of attitude do you have?

I treat you as a friend, and you treat you like this?

Quaresma isn't happy either!

Well, since that's the case, there's nothing to say!

If you don't apologize to me after the game and don't give me a reasonable explanation, then it's good to break off the relationship!

The brothers who make friends don't blindly seek perfection.

The other teammates saw this scene, but for some reason, they didn't come to persuade anything, and Van Persie and Quaresma parted ways and left in a huff.

At halftime, Van Persie didn't take the initiative to explain anything to Quaresma, and still looked like he was going his own way, which made Quaresma feel even worse.

He didn't even listen to what Wenger was saying.

At the beginning of the second half, Quaresma was holding back his energy and wanted to vent, so he was more active than in the first half.

In the 49th minute, after Guardesma broke through Babel and Grigra on the left side in succession, he suddenly cut inside in the middle and made a big arc in the corner of the penalty area, which is what he is best at.

But unfortunately, it may be because of the wrong emotion and too much force, resulting in the arc is not so perfect, and the shot is off the bottom line.

Quaresma hugged his head with a burst of regret, and this unpleasant feeling was so unpleasant that he couldn't vent it.

However, Quaresma didn't play on the left and right, but blossomed on the right.

Ljungberg and Reyes switched positions, went straight to the ribs and sent a through ball that Van Persie got on the ball for, but was fouled by De Jong and brought down in the box.

No doubt, it's a penalty!

De Jong was excited and kept protesting in front of the referee, but the referee ignored it at all, not only awarded a penalty, but also gave De Jong a yellow card.

Although Quaresma was not happy with Van Persie, he created a penalty and had a good chance of helping the team take the lead.

But at this time, Van Persie suddenly picked up the football, rushed to Quaresma, and stuffed the football into Quaresma's arms, with a smile on his face that was extremely bright.

What does it mean?

Apologize in this way?

Before Quaresma could speak, the rest of his teammates rushed over and surrounded Quaresma in the middle with Van Persie.

Neat laughter rang out!

"Happy birthday, Ricardo!"
