Chapter 277: Quaresma's Signboard
******
As soon as he stepped into the Dragon Course, Iroh felt a sense of relaxation, as if he had warmed up before, his strength was very sufficient, and he was in surprisingly good shape.
So, he clenched his fists and looked at Quaresma, muttering, "Hey... You're going to lose! ”
Valencia's personnel in this game can be described as very neat, although it is away, but it still puts on a traditional four-three-three formation!
Up front, the trident of Arlo, David Villa and Vicente lined up.
The midfielders are Aimar, Albelda and Baraja.
The defenders were Aurelio, Ayala, Marchena and Moretti.
At the same time, this is also the strongest and most tolerant that Valencia can put on at present, in which the left side is an important attack point of the team, Elo's breakthrough ability and in-cutting ability are not in doubt, and there is also a Brazilian left-back Aurelio with very strong assist ability.
Previously, because of Elo's excellent form, Aurelio focused more on protecting the defense on the left side, and this game he received Flores's advice - active assists!
So after the opening, although Valencia was playing away, the attack on the left side was very vigorous.
Quaresma, who was Porto's main right winger in this game, also had to invest in the defense of this side, but defense was not what he was good at, so more often he was given by Iello again and again as a stake.
Soon...... Quaresma realised that his contribution to the team in defence was almost zero, so he simply stopped helping the defense and stood on the halfway line with his waist crossed, waiting for his players to pass the ball.
******
As many people guessed before the game, it was the home team Porto that attacked first.
Although Valencia started out aggressively, Porto defended very well, after all, the team was the European champions a year ago, and former manager Jose Mourinho's defensive philosophy is deeply engraved in the soul of this team.
Similarly, the team's counter-attacks after defending are also very sharp.
The young Diego is still a little young in handling the ball, but he is still in control of the game.
Costa cut off the ball from Aimar to David Villa on the edge of the box and immediately passed it to Diego.
Baraja saw that Diego was about to take the ball, so he immediately posted it, ready to break the ball at the first time, but what he didn't expect was that Diego didn't want to take the ball, but his feet were naturally spread out, so that the football leaked, and then under Baraha's surprise, he deftly wiped his body from his left side and took the football smoothly.
"The dexterous 'Koala', that action just now is as beautiful as dancing samba on a green field!"
The local commentator in Portugal immediately became excited when he saw Diego's wonderful performance, and swept away the decline that had been attacked by Valencia before.
Diego deftly passed Baraja and did not continue to stick to the ball, but passed the ball to Quaresma, who was vertically forward, and then did not stop himself, but continued to run forward, driving Valencia's effective defence.
Aurelio is experienced and knows that Quaresma's individual skills are very good, so he did not step forward to break the ball at the first time, but kept falling back with Quaresma's rhythm with the ball.
What no one noticed was that Iroh, who had rarely returned to defend to help defend, was chasing back at high speed at this time.
The Portuguese commentator in the commentary box was even more excited when he saw Quaresma running wild with the football, and clenched his fists, "Everyone keep their eyes open and look at what wonderful things Ricardo Quaresma in the camera is going to bring us?" I bet! This time he's going to knock the Brazilian guy who was defending him to the ground!! ”
With the passionate commentary of the Portuguese commentator, Quaresma took the ball to the area 30 meters from the Valencia goal.
And Iroh just ran to the top of the arc of his own half.
Seeing that Quaresma had already penetrated into the 30-meter zone of his side, and that Albelda and Baraja were not in his defensive position, Ayala rushed forward and prepared to defend with Aurelio.
But as soon as Ayala rushed up, Quaresma stepped on his bike, so he changed his attention for a moment, and stepped back with Aurelio left and right, and no one rushed forward.
Because from what we knew about him before the race, Quaresma's start to cycle meant that he was about to accelerate to break through.
So in order to avoid allowing Quaresma to take advantage of the gap, he tacitly kept retreating.
Just as Quaresma stepped on his third bike, his left heel suddenly knocked the ball to the right side of his body, which was the left side of Valencia's defense.
Aurelio quickly adjusted his center of gravity, kicked his right foot the turf, and turned his body to the left, but when he made this move, he regretted it, because Quaresma used the inside of his right foot to buckle the football to the left side of his body again after he adjusted his center of gravity, and Quaresma's upper body also had the illusion of breaking through to the right, so Aurelio was shaken.
Ayala is experienced and has not been shaken, but at present, he is under a lot of defensive pressure, after all, he is older, and his body's reaction is not as explosive as it was back then, if ......
Good spirits do not work bad!
Ayala thought so, Quaresma violently used the outside of his left foot and then the inside of his right foot to continue to move the ball to the left, and Ayala, who had been retreating, had to move his body to the right in the process of retreating.
And Iro, who was actively chasing back, also reached the thirty-meter area of his own side at this time, but there were still about ten meters away from Quaresma, although this distance was nothing for Iro, but in the ever-changing race, it was like an insurmountable gap.
Quaresma shifted the angle with his left foot and quickly followed with his right foot.
But it was a bit awkward, and he had to slow down and start to adjust his right foot in small steps, so Ayala was able to catch up with Quaresma's footsteps again.
At this time, Iroh was already less than three meters away from Quaresma.
It's fast!
The orange fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
But their voices were quickly cut off by the cheers of the home fans.
The frequency of Quaresma's feet is very fast, so Ayala does not dare to step forward recklessly, even though it is very close, so it will be easy to lose her position!
Just then, Quaresma was about to get close to the penalty line when he suddenly picked up his right foot.
This change in rhythm caught Ayala off guard, and at the same time made Iroh a little confused when he was chasing back from behind, but the swing under his feet did not stop.
Wow wow wow wow -
The home fans in the stands got up from their seats in excitement when they saw Gallesma pick up his right foot.
The outside of Quaresma's right foot quickly exerted force from the front of the ball to the left, and the ball went around Aya's stretched right leg and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
And Quaresma, who completed the shooting action, was mentally prepared to fall on the turf, because the one he used just now was his signature move, the outside instep shot! In order to kick the ball at a more awkward angle, he had to lean his weight to the left very tightly, but to his surprise, he did not fall on the turf, but felt leaning against a soft body.
Canizaresma's signature shot appeared to have been prepared for as early as he consciously moved to the far end of the net when Quaresma suddenly slammed the ball to the left on the right side of the edge of the box.
Sure enough, Quaresma took advantage of a change of pace and fired straight with the outside of his right foot as the ball arced in the air and flew towards the far corner of the goal.
Canizares rose into the air with both feet in place, stretched his body as far as he could in the air, and took advantage of the previous early movement, stretching his right arm forward hard, but ...... When all his strength was used up, he was horrified to find ...... Exhausted!
******
"Ricardo Quaresma shoots !!"
With the passionate roar of the Portuguese commentator, the ball flew into the net around Canizares' outstretched right hand and grazed the inside post of the goal.
"goooooooooalllll--goal is-Ricardo-"
Immediately after that, the announcement of the Dragon Stadium made a hoarse sound.
"- Quaresma!"
The home fans in the stands seemed to have been rehearsed many times, and they cooperated very well with the stadium broadcast.
At the same time, Quaresma looked at the wall of flesh just now, and when he saw this figure, he was decisively excited, even more excited than a goal!
immediately winked at Iro, for fear that the other party would not know that he had scored.
He was about to say something to Iroh, but he was quickly pulled to the ground by his teammates.
******
Countless fans have seen Quaresma squeezing his eyebrows at Iello from the camera, among which the Portuguese commentator is the most amazing, "Haha...... This is Ricardo demonstrating against that Chinese kid, right? What is the use of scoring more goals in the league? Do you have the ability to pull a goal at the Dragon Stadium? Ricciardo opened the scoring less than 10 minutes into the game and the second Champions League group stage win seemed to be beckoning us......"
The Spanish commentator explained: "Although Ai is very active in defending this goal, he is still half a step slow, but it is a pity...... Or was Aurelio and Ayala too lax in defense before, otherwise they wouldn't have been caught off guard by Quaresma, and they fell behind by a goal less than ten minutes into the game, Valencia had a bit of a difficult game in this game......"
The commentators in Portugal and Spain are subjective and not objective enough.
For example, the commentator of Sky TV commented relatively neutrally, "I have to praise Quaresma's ball is very beautiful, his signature right-footed out-of-the-foot shot made the former Spanish international Canizares fly to the end without saving the ball, Valencia's goal is not unjust......"
Porto's celebration did not last long, but ended it quickly.
In their minds, one goal at the Dragons Stadium is far from enough, and a goal is not guaranteed, they have to score one more goal or more goals to kill this game directly!
After the restart, Porto took another defensive posture and vowed to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end!
