After seeing Wang Xiaodong's instep volley, Quaresma was completely convinced.
Since his debut, he has been well-known to fans for his outside-instep technique.
When he was in Sporting Lisbon, his reputation was even higher than Ronaldo.
But as Ronaldinho came to Old Trafford, the fate of the two changed dramatically.
Ronaldinho was deeply loved by Ferguson at Manchester United. Even if the team's leading star was eliminated, Sir Alex would still help Ronaldinho to take over.
But after Quaresma came to Camp Nou, he often couldn't even kick the ball.
Isolated and unable to achieve results, he could only transfer a year later and return to Portugal to start over.
This wait is until now.
Today, Ronaldinho has firmly established himself as Manchester United's main player and helped the team regain the league championship.
With such a dazzling record, Quaresma's Portuguese Super League title is nothing.
The current Porto is no longer the Porto that won the championship in 2004. Most of the players on the team are speculators, waiting to become famous in one battle and be taken away by other giants.
The Champions League is the best opportunity for everyone to show themselves.
In this grouping, the Porto players were all happy to be assigned to Tottenham, the weakest seeded team.
Now it seems that it is too early for them to be happy.
Not only did Wang Xiaodong change the situation as soon as he came on the field, the energy of the entire Tottenham team also increased a lot.
Coupled with such a heaven-defying outer instep arc, Quaresma believes that even if he kicks a hundred, he may not be able to kick one.
This kind of outer instep arc is no longer just a technical issue.
Small and innate differences such as strength, height, and leg length account for most of it.
In the stands, the fans looked at me and I looked at you, a little unbelievable.
"Did he cover the ball?"
"Can ordinary people create such beautiful outer insteps?"
"I don't believe this is the true level of that Chinese!"
The fans of the home team began to enjoy themselves, closed in their own space, and blindly rejected all favorable information about Wang Xiaodong from the outside world.
But what's the difference between this and hiding one's ears and stealing one's bells?
What should come will always come, and what can be played will always be played.
Soon, the boos from the home team fans came to an abrupt end due to Wang Xiaodong's precise arc pass from the outside of the instep.
In the 69th minute, Tottenham pushed forward through the middle as usual, accumulating strength on both wings.
Porto's defense focused on Bell and Lennon, who were rushing forward at any time, and relaxed a lot against the two forwards who were always looking for opportunities to counter offside.
After Wang Xiaodong received Modric's cross kick, he stepped on the ball with his right foot and stopped it in place. It looked like an ordinary inverted kick.
The next second, Wang Xiaodong turned around without taking a step forward. He raised his leg on the spot and rubbed it hard with his calf.
Rubbing the outside of his right foot from toe to heel, the ball also flew out in the direction Wang Xiaodong swung his leg.
Pull aside?
no! !
The Porto defender was stunned, turned around and rushed towards his door.
The ball drew a rainbow against the turf. It actually spun around the Porto defender from the outside and rolled towards the opponent's penalty area.
"Chase, chase quickly!!!"
At this moment, Porto's two central defenders wished they could give their parents two more legs.
But no matter how fast he ran, he just couldn't catch up with the ball that seemed so close.
Seeing that the ball was about to roll directly in front of Berbatov, who was running diagonally from the side, a central defender finally couldn't bear the torture of running with him and shot his body out desperately.
puff!
His body slid across the turf like a sharp arrow, his right leg straightened and his toes tensed.
But the moment he was about to touch the ball, the friction wiped away all his inertia, and he could only watch the ball slip away from his eyes.
Perhaps due to the influence of his teammates, another central defender fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle when his teammates made a mistake. In almost the same way, he watched the ball slip away from his toes.
At the critical moment, the Porto goalkeeper abandoned the goal and attacked.
He rushed to the ball and kicked Berba, who was shooting hastily, to resolve the crisis in the end.
Even so, Wang Xiaodong's sudden instep stick to the ground still made the entire Dragon Stadium break into a cold sweat.
Wang Defa? ? ?
What did I just see? !
A through ball with a twist?
While the fans were shocked, the team doctor hurried up.
The first Porto player to make the tackle has not gotten up yet. From the slow-motion replay on the big screen, it is known that he did not adjust his posture when he fell to the ground during the previous tackle and pulled his hip directly.
After chasing the defense once, his own defender was forced to be substituted.
All the home team fans were silent.
"What kind of fairy instep is this?"
After seeing Wang Xiaodong's pass with the outside of his foot and the instep of his foot on the ground, Porto retreated as a whole, fearing that they would be hit by the opponent again.
And Wang Xiaodong also seemed to have discovered a new world. Seeing that passing the ball with the outside instep can achieve such an effect, he kept using the outside instep to throw the ball.
That frequency was higher than Quaresma's in the first half.
For a time, not only the opponent was confused, but also his own players were confused.
Fortunately, Bell and Lennon are very fast and can catch up even if they start a little slowly.
This is very painful for the home team fans in the stands.
It turns out that every time Quaresma's outer instep is turned into place, it will attract a burst of cheers from the main stand.
Now, when Wang Xiaodong casually raises his foot and delivers a precise arcing pass from the outside of his instep, the home team's fans feel as if their throats are blocked and they can only make dry whines.
"When did this Chinese boy learn how to do it? How could he know how to use the instep of his feet?"
"What happened to Quaresma today? Where is the instep of his foot? Counterattack, counterattack!"
"Thief! He is a thief! She stole Quaresma's outer instep skill!"
Amid the noise of the fans, Porto did not take advantage of the good situation at home and was tied 2-2 by Tottenham at home.
For Martin Joel, who led Tottenham back to the Champions League, scoring a valuable point in the away game can be regarded as a barely passing answer to the fans.
After the game, Quaresma took the initiative to take off his jersey and came to Wang Xiaodong: "DONG, today is an eye-opener for me. I didn't expect that your outer instep skills are so good. We can learn from each other if we have the opportunity."
Quaresma's original intention was to get close to Wang Xiaodong. After all, he had a good relationship with Ronaldo. In the personal relationship between the two, Ronaldo also mentioned Wang Xiaodong's name several times.
"Ah? Okay!" Wang Xiaodong took off his opponent's jersey, then took off his own jersey and gave it to the opponent.
"I have the opportunity to study more together. I played for the first time today, and I'm still not used to it..."
"The first time to play like this???"
Embarrassment instantly condensed on Quaresma's face. The Portuguese starlet was choked by Wang Xiaodong's "Versailles" and was speechless.
After a long while, watching Wang Xiaodong turn around and leave, Quaresma finally couldn't help but follow him, stopped Wang Xiaodong and whispered: "DONG, if you have a chance to come to Portugal, you can teach me how to play that ball." of."
"That kick?" Wang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Ah, that kick! It's not that difficult actually. You just need to rub it with the outside of your foot and then use a little strength."
"A rub with the outside of the instep? Use a little more force???" Looking at Wang Xiaodong's leaving figure, Quaresma decided that from today on, he would completely give up kicking with the outside of the instep.
After a night in Porto, Tottenham returned to London the next morning.
As soon as we entered the city, we found that the place was already exploding.
"What? What happened? What big news happened again?"
"Did the professor's hand get squeezed by the zipper, or did Sir Alex get stuck in the throat with bubble gum?"
"What? Mad Mourinho?"
"Is it possible that the magic bird said something shocking again?"
After repeated inquiries, everyone learned a shocking fact - Mourinho was dismissed!
