I am Quaresma

For this grouping result, Quaresma is extremely satisfied.

In the group, although Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Turkey are not big players, they all have a certain strength gap with Portugal. Portugal should be able to deal with them fairly easily.

In this way, Portugal will not have to fight so hard in the group stage, and it will be able to qualify smoothly.

In the knockout stage, if Portugal wins the first place in the group, they will face the second place in Group B.

The four teams in Group B are Austria, Croatia, Germany and Poland.

In terms of team strength, Germany is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Croatia. The host Austria has home court advantage, and all three teams may qualify.

Even if it is the strongest German team, Portugal will not be afraid. If the second place is Croatia or Austria, Portugal will not have to worry.

The only thing to be careful about is whether Austria will use the home court to do something if they are second in the group.

If Portugal successfully advances to the semi-finals, then they still have to face opponents in the ab group. If they want to meet other strong teams, they have to wait until the final.

In other words, Portugal does not have to worry about meeting Spain before the final. They only need to smash Spain in the final and beat their opponents to win the European Cup.

What a sign!

In the upper half there are only two strong teams, Portugal and Germany, but in the lower half, there are many strong teams.

The Netherlands, Italy, France and Romania are grouped together, which is definitely a group of death.

No matter the Netherlands, Italy, or France, they all have a chance to win the championship. So the three championship teams are divided into one group. Is there anything more cruel than this?

Coupled with Spain in Group D, the competition in the lower half is fierce.

Even if Spain can successfully break out from the bottom half, then at least two strong teams will have to be played in the knockout round, and the consumption will definitely be more serious than Portugal.

Now, Quaresma has already regarded the European Cup trophy as a must, so he can't relax at all.

 …

The results of the European Cup group draw are raging in the public opinion,

Everyone was talking about it, especially Group C, the death group, was simply poisonous.

The fans of the three teams were all complaining. It was nonsense for the three giants to compete for two qualifications.

In other groups, the second-tier teams may be able to qualify, but here, the rich are all eliminated. Is there anything more tragic than this?

However, Germany and Portugal's ease and comfort in the group stage were considered by them to be a complete shady scene, and UEFA was also dissed, and they were all dissed under the real-name system.

But at this time, Quaresma did not pay attention to these public opinions. He returned to Madrid and immediately joined the preparations. He will lead Real Madrid to establish a full position in the league. In the second half of the season, compared with the Champions League, La Liga is not that important. Before that, it is better to establish enough advantages first.

In a game after returning to the team, Quaresma did not enter the starting list, and he did not even enter the squad. However, this did not surprise everyone.

The reason is simple, this game is not an official game at all.

The Bernabeu Cup, which was originally scheduled to be held at the end of August, has been postponed to the present for some reason. Real Madrid will face Partizan Belgrade at the Bernabeu.

Such an opponent who does not have much strength, coupled with the nature of the game, how could Schuster put Quaresma on the court, and even most of the main players did not get the starting lineup. He didn't mind being slighted.

After all, other people's opinions don't matter, what matters is that you can win the championship.

After this irrelevant game, the general election of the Real Madrid club also kicked off.

Needless to say, after the votes were counted, Florentino re-entered Real Madrid and became the new chairman of this century-old giant, taking charge of the Galacticos for the second time.

This election was held for Florentino at all, there is no possibility of failure, and several competitors have no way to pose a threat to Florentino.

Quaresma also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the possibility of Florentino losing the election was extremely small, it would be bad if something happened.

The reason why I joined Real Madrid was because of Florentino's promise to himself and reasonable planning for the future of Real Madrid. Once Florentino was not elected, wouldn't it become a spectacle?

Now, Florentino can no longer be bound, but can stand upright and exercise his chairmanship.

"Ricardo, our time has come!" This is what Florentino said to Quaresma after he was successfully elected as the chairman. It is not only a fulfillment of a promise, but also the best expectation.

Quaresma is very happy. Now, Real Madrid is completely on the right track. Although this season because of spending 160 million euros to introduce himself, there is no better reinforcement in other positions, but next season, this is not the case. Do not delay Real Madrid's extremely dominant performance.

And next season, Real Madrid will have more investment, and Real Madrid's strength will be further improved. Quaresma believes that it will be difficult for anyone to stop Real Madrid's progress.

Even if Barcelona's tiki-taka style of play is mature, so what?

So what if Messi reaches the pinnacle of his career?

Quaresma will let them know that football is still his territory!

 …

In December, Real Madrid only had five games in total, and the schedule was extremely loose. Moreover, among the five games, three La Liga games were more important, while the Copa del Rey and the Champions League were not of much interest.

On December 9th, Real Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao in an away game. Quaresma started the game. Although he encountered a strong sniper from his opponent in the away game, he finally defeated his opponent with Quaresma's goal in the second half. The away game takes all three points.

On December 12th, Real Madrid played against Lazio at home. This was the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Because Real Madrid had locked in the first place in the group in advance, Schuster simply put in the second-tier lineup for this game. Several substitute players who were not usually able to play the ball and some young players formed Real Madrid's starting lineup. Deal with this game thoroughly.

In this regard, Lazio is going to laugh crazy!

Werder Bremen has already determined that they have lost the chance to qualify for the qualifying places, leaving only two teams, Lazio and Olympiacos, to compete for another knockout spot.

Now, Lazio is still behind Olympiacos in points. If they can win a second-tier Real Madrid in this game, and Olympiacos has no way to win against Werder Bremen, wouldn't it be that Lazio won a knockout qualification for nothing?

Therefore, the Italians simply regard Real Madrid as a goodwill ambassador!

But Olympiacos was in distress, and they were not sure of defeating Bremen, so they could only desperately put pressure on Real Madrid through public opinion before the game, hoping that Real Madrid could follow the spirit of sports and go all out in the game.

But the question is, will Real Madrid care so much?

In this era where interests are paramount, it is meaningless to simply pay attention to competitive spirit!

Maybe your request can be met without affecting anything, but now my players are resting, is it necessary to make our players exhausted for your qualifying?

There is no such reason!

In any case, you have to walk the road by yourself, and if you expect others to help, you can only show that you are not strong enough!

Regarding the pressure of public opinion on Olympiacos, Real Madrid doesn't even care about them. You can jump around if you want, anyway, I still do my own way.

Quaresma sat on the bench instead. Watching the game in this position is much more enjoyable than watching the game at home. Even if he may not have the opportunity to play, Quaresma is still willing.

Well, it turns out that a slightly inferior strength combined with the addition of home court advantage can completely compete with a superior opponent.

The second-tier Real Madrid played a good game at the Bernabeu. Although they did not win their opponents, they did not allow the Italian team to take all three points. At least they saved the Bernabeu's face.

In another game, Olympiacos was also tied by Werder Bremen. I thought it was a dead end, but I never expected that Lazio was caught by Real Madrid, and Olympiacos actually won the qualification to participate in the knockout round at the last moment. .

This is simply the most dramatic result.

The Champions League group stage is over, and when the Champions League knockout round begins, it will be February next year, so now Real Madrid will fully focus on La Liga.

On December 17th, Real Madrid played against Osasuna at home. After enough rest, Real Madrid easily finished their opponents. Quaresma passed and shot, Raul scored twice, Sneijder and Robinho also scored. Scoring goals, blooming more points, making opponents hard to defend.

After playing this game, Quaresma immediately left the team and flew directly to Switzerland to participate in this year's FIFA Awards Ceremony.

Not surprisingly, he will definitely take home the World Player of the Year trophy, just like last year.

Unless there is a shady scene, otherwise, no one can take away the trophy that belongs to Quaresma.

But it wasn't until the awards ceremony that Quaresma realized that, unlike the European Ballon d'Or, this time the top three were not all former Arsenal players.

Fabregas won the third place in the European Ballon d'Or, but in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, he only won the fifth place, surpassed by Kaka and Ronaldo.

However, Ballack still won the second place in the world footballer, which is enough to prove his excellence last season.

However, this is very speechless.

Having won so many runner-ups throughout his career, his career has begun to decline, but he has won the European Ballon d'Or and the second place in the World Footballer in a row. This is simply a tragedy!

The name of Wannian's second child is almost impossible to take off.

But Quaresma was very happy to see his old friend at the scene. Although Ballack was not very talkative, the two still chatted very happily. In any case, it was a great honor for Ballack to be able to win such a high honor in the tacit understanding of his career. Speaking of it, it is already worth gratifying.

"Arsenal's state is a bit confusing to me. Obviously our strength is not bad, and the midfielder can take advantage in most games, but in some games, we just can't win. It just feels a little bit worse! "

After the joke, Barack's expression became a little more serious, and he said to Quaresma a little annoyed.

After Quaresma left Arsenal, Arsenal's performance was indeed unsatisfactory. Even though their lineup is still one of the best in the Premier League, they are still overwhelmed by Manchester United and are no longer as strong as before.

Barack wasn't complaining, but this feeling of not being able to reach despite his efforts was really powerless.

Quaresma patted Ballack on the shoulder, and he also understood this feeling, as if he had a similar feeling when facing a giant team in the Champions League when he was in Porto.

But the difference is that Porto at that time really didn't have the ability to compete with the giants, but Arsenal had this capital.

In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Arsenal became what they are now is because they lost Quaresma, the sharpest dagger, and this is the most fundamental reason.

From a competitive point of view, losing Quaresma is undoubtedly the biggest loss, and Arsenal may have lost their dominance since then.

But from an operational point of view, Arsenal paid off the loan ahead of schedule, and the pressure suddenly eased, which undoubtedly cleared the way for future development.

Lost in the east, harvested in the mulberry elm!

Probably, that's what it means!

"I believe you will be able to make a difference in the Champions League. I am really looking forward to meeting you in the Champions League!" Quaresma said to Ballack with a smile.

"You look forward to it, but I don't look forward to it. You and I know very well that the current Arsenal can't beat Real Madrid at all. I don't want to lose to my old friend!" Ballack said sullenly.

"Then you can't let me release the water?" Quaresma shrugged with a playful expression.

Barack simply turned his face away and stopped talking to Quaresma. As before, Quaresma was still so skinny.

Of course, Quaresma didn't dare to tease Barack anymore, otherwise, he was really afraid that Barack would take off his shoes and die with him.

The awards ceremony started quickly. After all, the World Player of the Year is the main event, so it was arranged at the end. Quaresma had enough leisure to watch the program and other awards.

Watching Aguero and Toni Kroos come to the stage to receive the U21 and U17 World Youth Championship best player awards, Quaresma can't help but feel emotional.

There are always people getting old, and there are always new people coming. Football has always been the leader.

Perhaps it won't be long before a large number of outstanding players emerge and become the mainstay of world football, changing the world of football.

Of course, what remained unchanged in the previous life was Melo's struggle for hegemony, but in this life, what remains unchanged is that Quaresma dominates football.

Quaresma doesn't know how long he can rule football, or even whether the system will always work. All he has to do is to train hard, improve himself, and ensure that he is improving every day!

So, come and chase me!

Otherwise, how boring!
