Chapter 276 Quaresma's Signboard
******
As soon as he stepped into the Dragon Stadium, Ai Luo felt refreshed, as if he had warmed up before, with sufficient strength and surprisingly good condition.
So, he clenched his fists and looked at Quaresma, muttering a few words, "Hey...you're going to lose!"
Valencia's personnel for this game can be said to be very neat, even though it is an away game, they still put on a traditional four-three-three formation!
The frontcourt trident Aiello, David Villa and Vicente lined up.
The midfielders are Aimar, Albelda and Baraja.
The defenders are Aurelio, Ayala, Marchena and Moretti.
At the same time, this is currently the strongest and most Valencia can present. The left side is an important attack point for the team. There is no need to question Aiello's breakthrough ability and internal cutting ability, and there is also a Brazilian left back Aurelio with a very strong assist ability.
Because of Aiello's excellent form before, Aurelio focused more on protecting the defense on the left, but in this game he received Flores' advice-active assists!
So after the opening game, even though Valencia was playing away, the offense on the left side was flourishing.
Quaresma, who was Porto's main right winger in this game, also had to devote himself to the defense on this side, but defense is not what he is good at, so more often he was used as a wooden stake by Aiello again and again.
Soon... Quaresma realized that his contribution to the team's defense was almost zero, so he didn't help the defense at all, and stood on the center line with his hips crossed, waiting for his team to pass the ball.
******
As many people guessed before the game, the home team Porto was the first to attack.
Although Valencia played fiercely at the beginning, Porto's defense was very good. After all, this team was the European champion a year ago. The defensive concept of former coach Jose Mourinho has been deeply engraved in the soul of this team.
Similarly, this team's counterattack after defense is also very sharp.
The young Diego is still a little green in handling the ball, but he still has a good control of the game.
After Costa predicted ahead of time at the front of the penalty area and cut off the football passed to David Villa by Aimar, he immediately passed the football to Diego who responded.
When Baraja saw that Diego was about to take the ball, he immediately posted it on it, ready to steal the ball at the first time, but what he didn't expect was that Diego had no intention of taking the ball, but naturally spread his feet apart, allowing the ball to slip past. Then, under Baraja's surprise, he dexterously wiped his body from his left side and took the ball smoothly.
"The dexterous 'koala', the movement just now is as beautiful as dancing samba on the green field!"
The local commentator in Portugal immediately became excited when he saw Diego's wonderful performance, sweeping away the decline of being hit by Valencia before.
Diego deftly passed Baraja and did not continue to stick the ball. Instead, he passed the ball to Quaresma who was advancing vertically. Then he did not stop, but continued to run forward, driving Valencia's effective defensive force.
Aurelio has rich experience and knows that Quaresma's personal skills are very good, so he didn't step forward to steal the ball at the first time, but kept retreating with Quaresma's dribbling rhythm.
What no one noticed was that Ai Luo, who had rarely returned to help defend, unexpectedly returned at a high speed at this time.
The Portuguese commentator in the commentary booth was even more excited when he saw Quaresma running wildly with the football, and he clenched his fists, "Everyone keep your eyes open to see what wonderful things Ricardo Quaresma is going to bring us in the camera? I bet! This time he will definitely knock the Brazilian guarding him to the ground!!"
Accompanied by the passionate commentary of the Portuguese commentator immediately, Quaresma brought the football to an area 30 meters away from the Valencia goal.
And Ai Luo just ran to the top circle of his own half.
Ayala saw that Quaresma had entered the 30-meter area of his side, and Albelda and Baraja were not in his defensive position, so he rushed forward and prepared to defend with Aurelio.
But as soon as Ayala rushed up, Quaresma stepped on his bicycle, so he changed his focus temporarily, and retreated from left to right with Aurelio, and no one stepped forward impulsively.
Because from the understanding of it before the game, Quaresma started cycling, which means that he will speed up his breakthrough.
So in order to avoid allowing Quaresma to take advantage of the neutral position, he kept retreating tacitly.
Just when Quaresma stepped on the third bicycle, the heel of his left foot suddenly knocked the football to the right side of the body, which is the left side of Valencia's defense.
Aurelio quickly adjusted his center of gravity, kicked his right foot hard on the turf, and turned his body to the left, but he regretted this action, because after he adjusted his center of gravity, Quaresma used the inside of his right foot to buckle the football to the left side of his body again.
Ayala is experienced and has not been shaken, but he is currently under a lot of defensive pressure alone. After all, he is old, and his physical response and explosive power are not as good as before. If...
Good and bad spirits!
When Ayala thought about it, Quares slammed the football with the outside of his left foot and then the inside of his right foot and continued to flick to the left. Ayala, who had been retreating all the time, had to move his body to the right in the process of retreating.
At this time, Ai Luo, who was actively chasing back, also reached the 30-meter area of his side, but he was still about ten meters away from Quaresma. Although this distance was not a big deal for Ai Luo, it was like an insurmountable gap in the ever-changing game.
Quaresma opened the angle with his left foot, and then quickly followed with his right foot.
But this action was a bit awkward, he had to slow down, and began to adjust his right foot in small steps, so Ayala also followed Quaresma's footsteps again.
At this time, Ai Luo was less than three meters away from Quaresma.
so 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 cheers from the home fans.
The frequency of Quaresma's feet is very fast, so even though Ayala is very close, he dare not step forward rashly, otherwise he will easily lose his position!
At this moment, when Quaresma was about to approach the penalty area line, he suddenly swung his right foot.
This change in rhythm caught the defensive Ayala a little off guard, and at the same time made Ai Luo, who was chasing back from behind, a little confused, but the swing of his feet did not stop.
Whoa whoa whoa——
The fans of the home team in the stands stood up excitedly from their seats when they saw Quaresma raised his right foot.
I saw Quaresma's right instep quickly exerting force from the front of the football to the left. The football went around Ayara's elongated right leg and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
And Quaresma, who finished the shot, was already mentally prepared to fall on the turf, because the one he used just now was his signature move, shooting from the outside of his instep!In order to make the angle of the football kicked more tricky, he had to lean his body heavily to the left, but what surprised him was that he himself did not fall on the turf, but felt leaned against a soft body.
For Quaresma's signature shot, Canizares seems to have been prepared. As early as Quaresma suddenly dunked the ball to the left on the right side of the front of the penalty area, he consciously moved to the far end of the goal.
Sure enough, after taking advantage of a change in rhythm, Quaresma shot directly with the outer instep of his right foot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the far corner of the goal.
Canizares rose into the air with both feet on the spot, and stretched his body as far as possible in the air. Taking advantage of the earlier movement, he stretched his right arm forward vigorously, but... when all his strength was exhausted, he was horrified to find that... he was exhausted!
******
"Ricardo Quaresma shoots!!!"
With the passionate roar of the Portuguese commentator, the football went around Canizares' outstretched right hand and flew into the net against the inner post of the goal.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL - the goal was - Ricardo -"
Immediately afterwards, the broadcast at the Dragon Stadium made a hoarse sound.
"- Quaresma!"
The fans of the home team in the stands seemed to have practiced many times, and they cooperated with the stadium's broadcast very tacitly.
At the same time, Quaresma looked suspiciously at the meat wall just now. When he saw this figure, he decisively became excited, even more excited than scoring a goal!
Immediately, he winked at Ai Luo, for fear that the opponent would not know that he had scored a goal.
Originally, he wanted to say something to Ai Luo, but he was quickly pulled to the ground by his teammates.
******
Countless fans saw Quaresma winking at Aiello on the camera. Among them, the Portuguese commentator was the most amazing, "Haha... this is Ricardo demonstrating at that Chinese kid, right? What's the use of scoring in the league? Are you capable of scoring goals at the Dragon Stadium? Now less than 10 minutes into the game, Ricardo opened the scoring for the team. The second victory in the Champions League group stage seems to be beckoning to us..."
The Spanish commentator explained: "Although Ai returned the ball very aggressively, it was still half a step too late. It's a pity...Aurelio and Ayala's defense was too lax before, otherwise they would not have been caught off guard by Quaresma. The whole game fell behind by one goal in less than 10 minutes. Valencia's game is a bit difficult..."
The commentators in Portugal and Spain are speaking from a subjective standpoint, which is not objective enough.
For example, the commentator of Sky TV commented relatively neutrally, "I have to praise Quaresma for playing this ball very beautifully. His signature shot from the outside of his right foot made the former Spanish goalkeeper Canizares fly all the way. He didn't save the ball. Valencia's goal was not wronged..."
The celebration in Porto didn't last long, instead it ended very quickly.
In their minds, scoring one goal at the Dragon Stadium is far from enough, and even one goal is not guaranteed. If they want to score one or more goals, they will directly kill the game!
After the re-kick-off, Porto was in a defensive posture again, vowing to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end!
