Chapter 66: Passing
Acknowledgments before the chapter: Thank you for the reward from the book friends.
-------------------------------
There is no love or hate in the world for no reason.
The reason why Inter Milan fans are demanding of Quaresma can be explained by a famous quote from the Hollywood movie Spider-Man, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. For fans, ability can be explained as value, and responsibility is the player's performance on the field. It's a pity that Quaresma is not Spider-Man after all, and his "abilities" are not his own, so when he is a little "irresponsible", disaster naturally happens.
Faced with almost only two extreme evaluations of Quaresma, good and bad, he quickly lost his way, and Mourinho, who realized that his two-winged tactics would not work in Serie A, did not give Quaresma a chance, and natural disasters added to man-made disasters, so Quaresma came to Malaga, and the fans of Malaga also had high hopes for Quaresma, although he was not actually a player in Malaga.
Antonio López naturally knows Quaresma's name, but after a few confrontations, he still hasn't figured out whether the Portuguese in front of him should be considered famous or not as famous as meeting, because the other party seems to be still in a warm-up state, as long as he goes up to press, the opponent will most likely quickly choose to pass.
Is this really the legendary Lone Ranger? Antonio muttered a little in his heart.
Even more muttering to him were the fans in the stands, every time Quaresma received the ball, it caused a cheer, but soon the cheers had to fall silent, because Quaresma passed the ball, not broke through.
What about the heel? What about the outer instep?
"The game has come to 70 minutes, the score is still 0-1, Malaga is behind, Quaresma, who has high hopes from Malaga fans, seems to have not entered the game, and several times the ball seems to be in a hurry, although this is indeed the style of Malaga this season, but obviously, this is not the Quaresma we are familiar with......" Manielle Pérez, the commentator of Spanish television, was also a little disappointed, so far in this game, in addition to Aguero's goal, The scene was so dull that he had to hold back the desire to yawn several times, thinking that he had finally waited for an exciting point, but he didn't expect that people were not excited at all.
Of course, Quaresma knew that he had "disappointed" the fans, and he couldn't hear the commentator's voice, but the cheers from the stands, which always stopped abruptly with his passes, were thunderous, but he couldn't blame him because it was the manager's explanation.
When Quaresma was about to play, Linsen pressed his shoulder and told him: You can do whatever you want, but I have a request, wait until after eighty points.
At that time, Quaresma nodded to indicate that he understood Linsen's "instructions", but in fact, he didn't understand Linsen's intentions, but this was his debut, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the head coach as soon as he came, so the first few opportunities that he thought could have broken through, Quaresma chose a more appropriate way, passing.
Then, from time to time, Quaresma looked out of the corner of his eye at the big screen above the stands.
Seventy minutes ......
Seventy-three minutes......
Seventy-nine minutes......
The ball was charged at Malaga's feet, and Gundogan wanted to hand the ball to Lewandowski, but at this time, he saw a pair of hands raised high, which was the international gesture of the stadium: Pass here!
Gundogan paused and quickly responded to the opposition's request, an iron ball, and the ball headed to the right.
Antonio López pressed straight up when he saw this, he thought Guardesma would still choose to pass, but this time, he was wrong.
A light knock on the inside of the foot, the menacing ball became unusually gentle, passing between the feet of the equally menacing Antonio, and at the same time, the person who knocked the ball turned and accelerated......
Crash......
The stands of the Rose Garden Stadium were boiling again.
"Beautiful! Beautiful! This is Quaresma! This is the Quaresma we are familiar with! As if it had suddenly lit up in front of him, Manielle's eyes widened and he shouted.
Inside the pitch, Quaresma, who had passed Antonio, seemed to suddenly wake up from his sleep and went straight to the hinterland along the right flank, while at the same time, Atletico's defense instantly shrank, dragging Koke on the left to quickly fill in to the right, while Raul Garcia and Assunção retreated to protect the edge of the penalty area...... Yes, Atletico Madrid's formation for this game is four-three-two-one, three midfielders, and Sergio Aguero is the only striker.
Quaresma's attack was not unexpected, but Atletico's reaction was not slow at all, especially with a goal in hand, and their defence was not pressed forward in the first place.
Lin Sen was still standing on the sidelines, the expression on his face did not change, but his eyes were always following Quaresma.
Quaresma was replaced by his compatriot, Duda, who is also on loan.
In Duda's more than an hour on the field, Duda's appearance could not be described as not working hard, but helplessly under the strict defense of the opponent, Antonio López and Koke, a quasi-Spanish international, plus a former teammate who is familiar with him, he can really not do much, let alone shoot himself, and even the support for Lewandowski is very limited.
Therefore, Linson chose to replace Duda on the right instead of Reus on the left, because even if the German's physical condition is not as good as Duda, he is still more dangerous than Duda.
Suddenly, Lin Sen saw a flash of green appear on the top of Quaresma's originally transparent head, and then the color quickly changed from light to dark......
Lin Sen was shocked in his heart: It's coming!
It seems that Quaresma, who is flying on the right side, and Coke, who is rushing like thunder, finally make contact in the hinterland near the corner of the penalty area, and it is Quaresma who takes the lead in making a move.
Quaresma's actions surprised Cork, but it didn't make Cork give up resistance completely.
Speaking of which, Koke also has to thank Quaresma, if it wasn't for Quaresma's "trouble", Cork would have been the focus of this game. Because this is the first time he has returned to Atletico as a Atletico player in the Rose Garden. Before the start of the game, when he appeared in the rose garden, there was applause, boos, and indifference...... There have been reactions, as Malaga fans have seen his return to Atletico.
Seeing that he shifted his weight in the blink of an eye, and was about to shake off his Quaresma, Koke's reaction was very decisive: he reached out and grabbed the opponent's jersey and pulled it back slightly, and then let go as soon as he felt the force on his hand.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sen was a little complicated and a little relieved: Coke, it is indeed a lot ripe, although the peaches are already hanging on the branches of others.
If Quaresma stopped and spread his hands at this time, he might have won a free kick, but that was only maybe, because it depends on whether the referee's eyes are bright enough. Or maybe Quaresma could do something else......
Quaresma chose the latter.
And his next move completely deceived Cork.
Because he took advantage of Coke's pull, he made an almost identical action just now, knocking the ball with his heel!
Changing the center of gravity of the body twice in a short period of time, active and passive, the gap was pulled out at once.
Looking at Quaresma, who almost passed by him, Koke wanted to pull people again this time, even if it was a foul under the nose of the referee, but it was too late.
Quaresma roared away, and the rose garden roared like a tidal wave.
With the excitement on the side, Malaga, who noticed Linson's offensive gesture on the sidelines, made a desperate bet, and Atletico Madrid's penalty area was the same as when a corner kick was taken, almost to the crowded Cheng dù, but the blue and white jerseys were still distinct: Lewandowski in the front, Gundogan in the middle, Reuss in the back, and Gabi inserted in the back row......
Looking at Málaga, who was still attacking at this time, Recino shrank in his heart, but also had to give birth to a trace of admiration.
can't say that you can't enter the tiger's den, but in the same way, it's not as good as the tiger's den, and you don't know that the tiger is fierce? From ambitious to weak, Recino finally understood that Lin Sen, who seemed to him to be nothing more than this last season, was far from being as simple as he thought.
Pass!
Pass!!
Pass!!!
The thunder strike in the box was ready for Quaresma's final pass, but the Portuguese still seemed to be addicted to his performance, he didn't even look up at the penalty area, and Linsen's mood on the sidelines also changed rapidly, especially when he saw that Cork was almost catching up from behind, he almost yelled.
Cork finally catches up with Quaresma!
At this time, the Portuguese finally looked up at the penalty area, and then leaned on Cork with his outstretched left arm, supported with his right foot, and his left foot around the heel of his right foot, in a position that looked extremely awkward, got his foot and crossed!
Then, an eerie arc appeared over Atletico's penalty area.
Outside the instep! Spin ball!
The entire Atletico Madrid penalty area was flooded in an instant.
"The pass is a little bit bigger again...... Quaresma's pass went past most of the players...... No, wait, there's one more man, my God! Royce! When did he retreat to that position, shouldn't he be at the back point? What about the people who are watching him? Now Reus even has time to adjust his shooting stance......"
On the field, when almost all the players in the penalty area were piling up in front of the goal, Reus suddenly shook off Perea, who was marking him, and took the initiative to withdraw from the small penalty area, and his retreat also gave him a once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunity.
Stop the ball with your chest, pick up the arch of your foot, volley, and do it in one go!
The ball flew like a cannonball into the near corner of the goal, and Atletico goalkeeper Kupe leaped high, his hand almost touching the ball, but still unable to change the course of the ball.
“GOOOOOOOOOOALLLL…… Marco!!! Royce!!! Assist from Quaresma! Genius assists! Genius goal! ”
The net that was lifted high blew up the narrator's throat and the entire Rose Garden Stadium was also detonated!
Lin Sen on the sidelines waved his arms fiercely, but gritted his teeth in his heart: We need to talk again, Ricardo Quaresma!
