On match day, by 6 o'clock in the evening, Weser Stadium was almost full.

Werder Bremen fans, dressed in green jerseys, filled the stands.

They have shown a lot of enthusiasm for the Champions League because it has been a long, long time since they have seen a Champions League game on their home turf.

Portugal is the effect of southwestern Europe, and the economy is at the bottom of the whole of Western Europe, and it is completely incomparable with the behemoth of Germany.

The only thing that gives them confidence is football.

So the Porto fans who came with the team couldn't help but feel disdainful when they saw that Werder Bremen fans were so excited to look forward to the start of the game.

"What a poor German! It's like they're having Christmas...... "The Portuguese fans who had been driven into remote corners of the stands took the opportunity to mock the Werder Bremen fans to vent their frustration with the arrangement.

'Understand them, they don't play in the Champions League every year like us. Werder Bremen has not won the Champions League once in their history. 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...... "someone expressed a different opinion.

The person in front of him looked a little embarrassed, but quickly adjusted: "It was just an accident." This can happen to any team, haven't we had it? In Germany, only Bayern Munich is the real giant, and Werder Bremen can only be regarded as an upstart! What is there to fear about the nouveau riche? They don't have any experience in the Champions League, so what can they compare to us? ”

"It's just that our goal is not to qualify from the group, it's so easy! Not only do we want to qualify from the group, but we also want to qualify as the first in the group! ”

His words were immediately echoed by the rest of the fans.

"I think Ricciardo might as well warm up with this game, because the opponent he really has to give it his all against is Barcelona. I'm sure that fight will also give him a fighting ......"

"Yes, yes, the defeat at Barcelona will definitely make Ricciardo full of motivation and fighting spirit when he faces Barcelona. What an exciting game! ”

Porto fans are already looking forward to two back-to-back matches against Barcelona in the third and fourth rounds of the group stage.

"Gentlemen, this is our first game in the Champions League. Werder Bremen has also played in the Champions League before. But that's not about me, it's not about you. It was a completely new experience and experience for us. We are following a path where there is absolutely no experience to draw from. But that's the charm. The possibilities are endless. After the results of the draw came out, the media said that we were placed in the 'group of death'. What is the 'Group of Death'? It's just that the situation is chaotic, and everyone has a chance. So why don't we have a chance? ”

Schaff was giving his pre-match speech to a room full of Werder Bremen players.

Lectures like this are not commonly used.

But today is different, because today is the first time he has led the team to play in the Champions League, and he will inevitably have a lot of emotions and something to say.

"Porto are the defending champions. As bluffing as it sounds, their main force is gone for more than half of it, and so is their head coach. I think Jose Mourinho's Porto is a strong team and now this team is ...... Not counts! We are the champions of the Bundesliga, and in every sense of the word, the Bundesliga title is more valuable than the Portuguese Super League title. It's our home stadium again, so why can't we win them? Give our Champions League season a start?! ”

Scharf asked rhetorically.

'We've been in poor form in the last two league games, that's a fact. But that doesn't mean we won't be doing well in the Champions League as well. I think you're looking forward to this game as much as I am, right? ”

Everyone nodded and replied, "Not bad!" ”

"Okay, then go out and tell them. We have this opportunity that we have worked so hard to get and we are not here to play only six games! ”

As Glory came from the dressing room to the players' tunnel to get in, he saw Fabiano.

Fabiano is chatting with Diego, and both of them will start this game.

This is the person Glory knows when he plays in Brazil, Fabiano is his teammate and Diego is his opponent.

The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, after Brazil often fights, they naturally know each other.

Glory walked up and said hello to Fabiano and Diego.

But there was no chat.

The same goes for two people.

Fabiano also gestured with his eyes to look at Quaresma.

But Glory turned around and left, not looking away.

After listening to Sun Fengyang's introduction, he was really not very interested in a loser like Quaresma.

My opponent is Kaka, of Ronaldinho's level, Quaresma? Can you eat it?

※※※

In fact, Quaresma was in the tunnel to see the glory.

When he came out of Glory to greet Fabiano and Diego, he was looking at Glory from the other side.

This is the guy Idolized by Iniesta, and he wants to take a good look.

Of course, he also noticed Fabiano's eyes.

But to his surprise, Rongguang didn't even look at him, turned around and left!

Suddenly, he clenched his fists.

There is a nameless fire rising in my heart.

Look down on me?!

※※※

When the players on both sides walked out of the court, I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, Rong Guang and Quaresma happened to be parallel side by side.

However, neither of them looked at anyone, and Rongguang followed his teammates on the stage, his expression calm, as always. Quaresma raised his head slightly, looking into the distance, the expression on his face quite serious.

The two sides then lined up and shook hands with each other.

When Quaresma went to glory, nothing was out of the ordinary.

Glory held out his hand, and Quaresma took his hand.

The hands of the two men were clasped together and then quickly separated.

The commentators who had been staring at the two people were very disappointed.

They also want to see something hot.

Quaresma is definitely not the kind of player who is low-key and docile, and as a genius, he has a pretty hot temper.

The commentators didn't know that Quaresma was holding back his anger and wanted to vent it during the game. He won't waste time on the pre-match handshake ceremony and glory.

When Fabiano then shook hands with Glory, he gave him a meaningful look: Come on, boy!

Rongguang also gave him a look back: Don't worry!

Then, the game began.

In the picking, Werder Bremen got the right to pick the edge, so the tee off was Porto's.

Porto didn't take advantage of the kick-off and quickly played the ball into the Werder Bremen penalty area. It's about passing all the way back and then slowly attacking upwards.

For both teams, this game is actually an encounter.

Although everyone has collected and learned about each other's intelligence materials in advance.

But what's on paper and on the TV screen isn't as real as what you experience in person.

How strong the opponent is will still have to wait until the game is played to find out.

José Cucello has not been taken lightly by Werder Bremen's poor form in the last two league games.

The opening game is still cautious.

Mainly in the anti-glory.

The speed of glory is too fast, give him a little gap, maybe he can get through.

Schaff did not start Klose in this game.

Werder Bremen played 442.

The partners who play forward are Rong Guang and Krasnić.

These two worked together last season and got along quite well.

442 was also the lineup that Werder Bremen had been playing last season.

Therefore, Klose's poor form and being replaced is not necessarily a bad thing for Werder Bremen. They can revert to the style of play they were most comfortable with last season.

The offensive routine is not as varied as the three-man switch, but it is simpler.

For Glory, he may prefer a simple style of play......

Anyway, the current set of 442 plays feels familiar to him.

The football fell to Quaresma's feet.

The Portuguese commentator on the commentary bench is energetic.

"Ricardo Quaresma! He got the ball for the first time in the game! Let's see what he can do for us! ”

The Porto fans who came with the team also cheered for Quaresma.

Although Quaresma was previously a player developed by Sporting Lisbon, Porto's dead land, he is now a member of Porto, so it is only natural that the Porto fans will cheer him on.

Quaresma played as a right winger, out of step with Glory, and he was the counterpart of Werder Bremen's left wing-back Startri.

Two people are separated by a court.

Quaresma was so angry that he wanted to show Glory what he was capable of, so when he took the ball to face Startri, he didn't pass the ball out.

Instead, he dribbled the ball to the Werder Bremen Canada international.

As he approached Startri, his left foot slid towards the ball, but it didn't touch the ball, just a feint on a bike.

Sure enough, his right foot also crossed the football and pedaled the bicycle twice in a row!

Quaresma's right foot then suddenly kicked back, and his heel knocked the ball to the left side of his body.

His left heel kicked out with force, and suddenly changed to an inward cut!

This action is to knock the ball with the heel from behind, and the visual effect is very good.

But because the move itself was awkward, Quaresma had to adjust his pace in small steps.

The speed slowed down.

Startri was initially shaken off by Quaresma, but he quickly made up for it and continued to cross in front of Quaresma.

Quaresma was not in a hurry and continued to cut inside.

Statri knew what Quaresma was going to do, and refused to let him continue to cut so inside, so he simply came up to break the ball.

This time, Quaresma moved faster with his feet than Startri, and with a pull of his right foot, he pulled the ball away from Startri, continued to cut inside, and dodged Startri.

Next, facing the central defender Ismael who came up to make up for the defense, Quaress immediately raised his right foot and shot!

"It's coming!" The Portuguese commentator was excited.

Coach Quaresma was in the process of cutting inside, and suddenly sliced the ball with the outside of his right foot!

The ball made an outside arc in the air, bypassing Ismail and heading straight for the back corner of the Werder Bremen goal!

This is what Quaresma is most proud of, and what he is best at, is the curling shot with the outside of his right foot inside the right side!

It's his signature skill, and it's rare for people to kick like that, and it's rare to be able to kick him so well!

Regarding this point, the whole Werder Bremen team has done special exercises when preparing for the game.

Seeing Quaresman, goalkeeper Reynke moved to the back corner, and sure enough, Quaresma's shot ran towards the back corner, he soared into the air, stretched his arm as long as he could, and then used the tip of his finger to poke the ball out!

I have to say that the arc of Quaresma's foot is indeed quite high. Reynke moved ahead of time to keep the football out......

If he hadn't moved in advance, he might have let the ball spin straight past his fingers and fly into the goal, right?

Reynke, who had been following the football in the air, was a little scared when he saw this scene......

※※※

"Ahhh Quaresma's shot! That's just a little bit! The Portuguese commentator in the commentary table held his head in his hands and shouted in frustration.

"Oh! Pretty! Quaresma's genius shot almost opened the scoring for Porto at the start of the game! ”

"It was obviously a tentative attack, but Quaresma's talent turned it into a dangerous attack! That's where genius comes in! ”

The narrator's booth resounded with praise and praise of Quaresma in various languages.

Quaresma also held his head in his hands, regretting that the ball did not go in.

But he quickly put his hand down.

It's just the beginning, I still have time, it's definitely not a coincidence, it's just getting started!

He looked back at the glory on the other side of the court.

He noticed Glory's somewhat surprised expression.

And he smirked.

It was as if he had overcome glory.
