Chapter 359 The Mark of Quaresma (19
On the day of the game, by six o'clock in the evening, the Weser Stadium was basically full of seats.
Werder Bremen fans in green jerseys filled the stands.
They showed great enthusiasm for the Champions League game, because they have not watched a Champions League game at their home court for a long, long time.
Portugal is the effect of Southwest Europe. In terms of economy, it is at the bottom of the whole of Western Europe, and it is completely incomparable with the behemoth Germany.
The only thing that can give them confidence is football.
So the Porto fans who came with the team couldn't help but feel disdainful when they saw the Werder Bremen fans so excitedly looking forward to the start of the game.
"Really poor Germans! They seem to be celebrating Christmas..." These Portuguese fans who were driven to a remote corner of the stands took the opportunity to ridicule Werder Bremen fans to vent their dissatisfaction with this arrangement.
"Understand them, they are not like us, they can participate in the Champions League every year. Werder Bremen has no Champions League title in the history of Werder Bremen. In the whole of Germany, only Bayern Munich deserves our attention..."
"But I heard that Bayern Munich lost at the feet of this team last season..." Some people expressed different opinions.
The people in front looked a little embarrassed, but quickly adjusted: "It was just an accident. Such an accident can happen to any team, haven't we? In Germany, only Bayern Munich is a real giant, and Werder Bremen can only be regarded as nouveau riche! What is there to be afraid of nouveau riche? They have no experience in the Champions League. How can they compare with us?"
"That's right, our goal is not to qualify from the group stage, that's too simple! We not only want to qualify from the group stage, but we also want to qualify as the number one in the group!"
His words were immediately echoed by other fans.
"I think Ricardo might as well use this game as a warm-up. His real opponent is Barcelona. I believe that game will also make him full of fighting spirit..."
"Yes, yes, the defeat in Barcelona will definitely make Ricardo full of motivation and fighting spirit when facing Barcelona. It is really an exciting game!"
Porto fans have already begun to look forward to the two back-to-back games against Barcelona in the third and fourth rounds of the group stage.

"Gentlemen, this is our first game in the Champions League. Werder Bremen have played in the Champions League before. But that has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you. For us, this is a new experience and experience. We are going on a path with absolutely no experience. But this is the charm. We have unlimited possibilities. After the draw, the media said we were in the 'death group'.
Schaaff was addressing a room full of Werder Bremen players before the game.
Lectures like these are not often used by Schaff.
But today is different, because today is the first time he leads the team to play in the Champions League, he will inevitably have a lot of emotion and have something to say.
"Porto is the defending champion. It sounds bluffing. More than half of their main players have gone, and their coach has gone. I think Mourinho's Porto is a strong team, but now this...not! We are the champions of the Bundesliga. No matter how you look at it, the Bundesliga champions are more valuable than the Portuguese Super League champions. It is our home field, why can't we win them? Give us a good start to the Champions League season?!"
Scharf asked everyone.
"It's true that we've had a bad run in the last two league games. But that doesn't mean we'll have a bad run in the Champions League. I think you're all looking forward to this game, as I am, right?"
Everyone nodded and replied: "Not bad!"
"Okay, then go out and tell them. This opportunity we have worked so hard to get is definitely not for playing six games!"

When Rong Guang came to the player tunnel from the locker room to wait to enter the field, he saw Fabiano.
Fabiano is chatting with Diego, both of whom will start this game.
This is someone Rong Guang knew while playing football in Brazil, Fabiano is his teammate, and Diego is his opponent.
The so-called don't know each other without fighting, after fighting frequently in Brazil, we naturally know each other.
Rong Guang went straight up and greeted Fabiano and Diego.
But there is no chat.
Same goes for two people.
Fabiano also signaled Rong Guang to look at Quaresma with his eyes.
But Rong Guang turned his head and left without looking over.
After listening to Sun Fengyang's introduction, he was really not very interested in losers like Quaresma.
My opponent is Kaka, who is of Ronaldinho's level, Quaresma?Can I eat it?
※※※
In fact, Quaresma looked glorious in the player tunnel.
When Rongguang came out to greet Fabiano and Diego, he was looking at Rongguang from the other side.
This is the guy Iniesta idolizes, and he wants to take a good look at it.
Of course he also noticed Fabiano's eyes.
But to his surprise, Rong Guang turned around and left without even looking at him!
Suddenly, he clenched his fists.
There is an unknown fire rising in my heart.
Look down on me? !

When the two players walked out of the court, it was unknown whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Rong Guang and Quaresma happened to be side by side.
But the two of them didn't look at each other, Rong Guang followed his teammates to the stage, his expression was calm, as usual.Quaresma raised his head slightly, looking into the distance, with a serious expression on his face.
Then the two sides lined up and shook hands with each other.
When Quaresma went to glory, nothing unusual happened.
Rong Guang stretched out his hand, and Quaresma also took his hand.
The two held hands together, and then parted quickly.
It disappointed the commentators who had been staring at the two people.
They also want to see something exciting.
Quaresmarco is definitely not the kind of low-key and docile player. As a genius, his temper is quite hot.
The commentators didn't know that Quaresma was holding back his anger now and wanted to vent it in the game.He would not waste time with Rong Guang in the handshake ceremony before the game.
When Fabiano shook hands with Rong Guang afterwards, he gave him a meaningful look: Come on, kid!
Rong Guang also gave him a look: Don't worry!
Then, the game started.

In the toss, Werder Bremen won the toss, so the right to kick-off belongs to Porto.
Porto did not take advantage of this kick-off, and directly and quickly hit the football into Werder Bremen's penalty area.Instead, pass back all the way, and then slowly attack upwards.
For the two teams, this game is actually an encounter.
Although everyone has collected and understood the intelligence information of the other party in advance.
But what is on paper and on the TV screen is not as real as what you experience in person.
Just how strong the opponent is, we still have to wait until the match to find out.
Jose Cuchero did not take it lightly because of Werder Bremen's poor form in the last two rounds of the league.
The opening game is still cautious.
Mainly in anti-glory.
Rong Guang's speed is too fast, give him a little gap, maybe he can slip through.
In this game, Schaff did not let Klose start.
Werder Bremen hit 442.
The forward partners are Rong Guang and Klasnic.
These two people cooperated together last season, and they have a good understanding.
442 was originally the lineup that Werder Bremen played all the time last season.
Therefore, Klose's poor state and being replaced may not necessarily be a bad thing for Werder Bremen.They can return to the style of play they were most familiar with last season.
Although the offensive routine is not as varied as the three-person transposition, it is simpler.
For Rong Guang, he may prefer a simple style of play...
Anyway, the current 442 style of play makes him feel very familiar.

The football fell to Quaresma's feet.
The Portuguese commentator on the commentary booth was excited.
"Ricardo Quaresma! He has the ball for the first time of the game! Let's see what he has in store for us!"
The Porto fans who came with the team also cheered for Quaresma.
Although Quaresma was previously a player trained by Porto's deadly Sporting Lisbon, he is now a member of Porto, so Porto fans will naturally cheer for him.
Quaresma played as a right winger, which happened to be out of position with Rongguang. He corresponded to Werder Bremen's left back Staltery.
The two are separated by a field.
Quaresma held back his anger and wanted to let Rongguang see his abilities, so when he took the ball to face Startree, he didn't pass the football.
Instead, he dribbled the ball towards the Canadian international at Werder Bremen.
As he approached Starttree, he swiped his left foot towards the ball, but it didn't touch the ball, it was just a cyclist feint.
Sure enough, his right foot also swiped across the football, stepping on a bicycle twice in a row!
Then Quaresma's right foot kicked back suddenly, and the heel knocked the football to the left side of the body.
His left foot kicked out with force, and suddenly turned inward!
This action uses the heel to knock the ball from behind, and the visual effect is very good.
But because this movement itself is very awkward, Quaresma must then adjust his pace in small steps.
The speed slowed down.
Startery was shaken by Quaresma at first, but the experienced he quickly made up for it and continued to lie in front of Quaresma.
Quaresma was not in a hurry and continued to cut inside.
Starterry knew what Quaresma was going to do, and he refused to let him continue to cut in like this, so he simply came up to steal the ball.
This time Quaresma moved faster than Staltery. With a pull of his right foot, he pulled the football away from Staltery, continued to cut inside, and avoided Staltery.
Next, facing the central defender Ismail who came up to defend, Quares immediately kicked up his right foot and shot!
"Here we come!" The Portuguese commentator was very excited.
In the process of coaching Quaresma's inside cut, he suddenly cut the football with the outside instep of his right foot!
The football drew an outer arc in the air, bypassed Ismail, and went straight to the back corner of Werder Bremen's goal!
This is what Quaresma is most proud of. He is best at cutting in from the right and shooting with the arc of the outer instep of his right foot!
This is his signature stunt, it is rare for ordinary people to kick like this, and it is rare to be able to kick him so well!
Regarding this point, the Werder Bremen team specially practiced when preparing for the game.
Seeing Quaresman cut in, goalkeeper Reinke moved to the back corner ahead of time. Sure enough, Quaresma's shot came towards the back corner. He rose into the air, stretched his arms as far as possible, and finally poked the football out with his fingertips!
I have to say that the arc of Quaresma's kick is indeed of a very high level.Reinke moved ahead of time to barely block the football...
If he hadn't moved ahead of time, maybe the football would have spun directly past his fingers and then flew into the goal, right?
Reinke, who had been following the football in the air, felt a little scared when he saw this scene...

"Ahhhh! Quaresma's shot! It's just that close!" The Portuguese commentator on the commentary seat held his head in his hands and shouted angrily.
"Oh! Beautiful! Quaresma's genius shot almost opened the scoring for Porto at the beginning of the game!"
"Obviously it was a probing attack, but Quaresma's talent turned it into a dangerous attack! That's what genius does!"
Praise and praise for Quaresma in various languages sounded from the commentator's seat.
Quaresma also held his head in his hands, regretting that the ball did not score.
But he quickly put his hand down.
The game has just started, I still have plenty of time, this is definitely not a coincidence, this is just the beginning!
He looked back to Glory on the other side of the field.
He noticed Rong Guang's slightly surprised expression.
So he smiled triumphantly.
It seemed that he had already defeated Glory.
