Chapter 206 An Assist

Quaresma lay on the ground looking hopeless. At this moment, he really felt the malice from this world.

It doesn’t make sense to say that Lustrinelli deliberately bored himself. The Toon striker must have wanted to score directly from a free kick. As a result, his footwork was not good, and he was unlucky, or he helped Arsenal’s goal. .

Campbell kicked the ball out of the sideline, and his teammates surrounded him, checking the situation of Quaresma with concern to see if he was dead or not.

Lustrinelli came over with an apologetic face, wanting to apologize to Quaresma, but seeing Quaresma's current state, he knew that he would not listen.

This time it was boring enough, and at such a close distance, Quaresma didn't even take the defensive measures in place, and he didn't dare to block it with his hands. Anyway, it was as uncomfortable as it was, and it might not be possible for a woman to give birth. That's how much pain it is.

After waiting for a long time, I slowly stood up with the support of my teammates, and my face was filled with the bitterness of not wanting to recall the painful experience.

Looking at Lustrinelli who was waiting for his situation not far away, Quaresma couldn't help but want to complain.

You are almost manslaughter!

Why, you also want to ask Baia to defend you?

Fortunately, your foot is a bit high. If you lower it a little bit, buddy, I'm done!

The fans in front of the TV saw Quaresma's miserable appearance, not to mention how happy they were. They were used to seeing Quaresma's cynical smiles, and occasionally changed his taste. fine.

The game was stopped for a long time before it resumed. Although it was Toon's throw-in, Toon returned the ball to Arsenal, which seemed very friendly.

Why aren't you friendly when you're boring me?
But now is really not the time for Quaresma to complain. Wenger has been shouting non-stop on the sidelines, telling the players to speed up the pace and score goals as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams. In this game, Wenger issued a must-kill order.

That's not to say, when the discomfort in the stomach eased, Quaresma also joined the ranks of the sprint, and let's talk about finishing the game first.

That look. No, that kick, Quaresma has already remembered, and he must return it later.

Perhaps this kick softened the intense atmosphere of the game a lot. Although the home fans in Thun were still cheering and shouting, it felt a little less gunpowder compared to the beginning of the game.

As Arsenal showed their power, Thun's midfielder gradually became more difficult in the confrontation, from fighting against each other to slowly being passive, and finally being pushed back to his own half.

And soon, Arsenal's goal also came. Henry received a cross from Ljungberg from the right, nimbly grabbed a point and broke through Toon's goal, helping Arsenal rewrite the score.

The score of 1:0 is of course not safe, so Arsenal's offensive momentum has not slowed down because of the goal. After a series of effective passes, Xiaofa scored a long shot from outside the penalty area and rewritten the score again.

2:0
The game seems to have lost its suspense.

The players on the Thun field were a bit disappointed, but the Thun fans in the stands didn't seem to be affected too much, and they were still cheering with enthusiasm. Anyway, they didn't expect the team to win. No matter what the game was like, they just kept going. Just support the team.

The Thun players were infected by the emotions of the fans and became excited.

That's right, I couldn't play the game. Instead of being obsessed with the result, it's better to play a game well. Even if you can't win, then the goal of scoring a goal should not be too much.

So Thun, who was two goals behind, cheered up again, attacked fiercely, and once again competed fiercely with Arsenal near the midfield. Even though the loopholes in their defense were more obvious, at least they had the ability to attack Arsenal's hinterland. Chances are, that's enough.

The offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated, the offensive and defensive changes were frequent, and the intense scenes made all the fans watching the game hooked.

Quaresma has actually been on the left for a while. It’s not that he doesn’t want to score a goal, or that he doesn’t want to launch an attack. Not a hangover, but he did need time to recover.

Finally, when Quaresma felt completely alright, he knew it was his turn.

He scored goals in the first four rounds of the group stage. How could he break the record when facing Thun?

Although I am so active that I am suspected of scoring goals, but the game is a game, who would think that I scored fewer goals?
As a result, Quaresma, who suddenly became active, directly detonated Arsenal's left attack.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Quaresma took the ball from the midfielder, stopped and passed the defense, dribbled forward at high speed, and ran all the way, throwing the opponent who came to make up the defense far away, and even had no chance to make up the defense. Not left to them.

Then facing the Thun full-back, Quaresma swayed the opponent's center of gravity with a realistic pedaling fake action, then changed direction and walked away, directly killing Thun's penalty area horizontally. Thun's defensive players felt their scalps tingling.

Quaresma originally wanted to take a long shot on the line of the penalty area. After all, there are still two defensive players in the penalty area of ​​Thun. If he insists on breaking through them, it would be a waste of time, and it is really unnecessary.

However, when Quaresma was already raising his foot to kick, he was keenly aware that Ljungberg had advanced and ambushed to the back point, which was obviously in a better position than his own.

There is no greed for merit, and the lightning fire turned into a pass in time, sending the ball to Ljungberg's feet at the back point.

The Swedish fast horse did not waste Quaresma's kindness, and faced the goalkeeper of Thun in one fell swoop, rewriting the score to 3:0.

After scoring the goal, Ljungberg was very excited, screaming and rushed over to Quaresma. Fortunately, Ljungberg is now in human form, otherwise Quaresma would have thought it was a beast coming to eat him.

It’s no wonder that Ljungberg was excited. Quaresma could shoot the goal just now. Even if Quaresma couldn’t score, no one would criticize him, but Quaresma saw his running position. Ready to send the ball to his feet, it can be said that a large part of the credit for this goal should be credited to Quaresma's selflessness, which is why Ljungberg is so grateful to Quaresma.

Although Ljungberg can also be regarded as a winger, his scoring rate is not high, and it will not exceed double digits every season, so every goal is precious.

Quaresma accepted Ljungberg's thanks and got an assist. Although it is not as ecstasy as a goal, it has a different taste.

At this time, Wenger on the sidelines was dazzled by the goal.

It's not that Ljungberg's goal is so beautiful, but that he saw Quaresman's rapid progress in this goal.

I have to admit that compared to when he first joined the team, Quaresma's growth has made everyone feel incredible.
