The story between the two people was immediately reported by these good guys. Other media and fans were very interested in this matter. Many reporters began to interview Qiu Ze and Quaresma about their opponents.
Opinions, let them talk about which one of them is stronger?
Now, no matter where they go, they will be asked such questions, which makes them very irritated, because this is the question they least want to hear.
Qiu Ze and Quaresma had a very good relationship before, and they were teammates of the national team. When asked such a question, both of them felt unhappy, and they seemed to agree not to go.
Answering these boring questions, for them, now is just a matter of preparing for the next game.
Porto is not afraid of facing last season's Champions League runner-up. For them, they don't think it is a very difficult thing. After all, Porto has not lost a single game against English teams in the past nine games.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all included.
Therefore, the Porto people are not worried at all about this game. They seem to have found a way to deal with the English team. They are also very satisfied with this grouping. In their view, the first place in this group is already theirs.
, and Liverpool and others can just grab second place.
In the eyes of the English fans, the Porto people are really arrogant to think so. However, the Porto fans think this is very normal and they are confident of defeating Liverpool.
Liverpool's last experience against the Portuguese team was very bitter. In the 2005-06 season, as the defending champion, they were beaten home and away by Benfica. At that time, this was a huge blow to Liverpool, who was aiming to defend the title. At that time,
They hate the Portuguese team so much.
Moreover, Liverpool players also believe that there is not a real gap between Liverpool and the Portuguese team. In their view, the Portuguese team is really no threat to Liverpool, so now they are full of confidence.
Moreover, Liverpool's main players got a general rest in the last round. According to Benitez's habit, many players who started in the zero-0 draw with Portsmouth may only serve as substitutes in this round of the Champions League.
The starting strike partners Crouch and Voronin in the last game are likely to hand over the starting positions to Torres and Kuyt in the game against Porto. The hard-working Ukrainians have no dissatisfaction, but as the top scorer last season, there is no guarantee.
Gao Lao, who was in the main position, felt aggrieved.
But before the game, Crouch's attitude was also positive, making it clear that he would only use positive training to impress the head coach, and at the same time seize as many opportunities as possible in the games he played.
When interviewed by reporters, Benitez did not believe that his rotation system was the factor that caused the points loss in the last round of the league. It can be said that he not only defended Crouch, but also hinted that everyone must accept rotation.
At this time, some people also asked Benitez whether Qiu Ze, who was injured in the national team, would appear in the starting lineup of this game? In this regard, Benitez did not answer directly: "It depends on Chris
The recovery status and condition.”
After receiving this answer, these reporters obviously did not agree with this answer. They thought that Benitez was doing Tai Chi. Now there is a lot of speculation about who is better between Qiu Ze and Quaresma. If Qiu Ze wants to win this game,
If it wasn't for the show, it would be so disappointing.
It's a pity that no matter how hard the reporters tried to pry them, the Liverpool people would beat them to death without saying a word. At this time, Qiu Ze went to Porto. Of course, this was discovered by the media reporters. They immediately understood that this guy Qiu Ze must have
He has to play, otherwise, this guy would probably go to Liverpool.
As a result, everyone is looking forward to this game even more and are waiting for the game to start. Porto fans can't wait even more.
Liverpool played against Porto in an away game. This was not the first time the two teams had met. The two teams had met once in the UEFA Cup in the 2000-2001 season. At that time, Liverpool defeated their opponent 2-0 away from home. However, Porto currently has four games in the Portuguese Super League.
Victory, ranking first in the points, the home team will not surrender easily.
For Liverpool, it may not be the most ideal start to challenge their strong rivals away from home in a group match. However, Marseille and Besiktas are far inferior to Liverpool in terms of strength. As long as the Red Army can withdraw from the away game in this game, they will qualify.
The situation will be very clear, and with the powerful attacking group led by Torres and Gerrard, Liverpool will not be afraid of their opponents as a guest.
Liverpool are very confident about this game. They firmly believe that they will use a victory to give them a good start in the Champions League this season.
Fernando Torres, the golden boy from Spain, is also very confident. At the same time, he is also full of expectations for this game. This game has special meaning for Fernando Torres and is very memorable.
Golden boy Fernando Torres spent twelve years in Atletico Madrid. In 2000, he played for Atletico Madrid in La Liga when he was sixteen years old. However, in seven seasons, although Torres played 214 times in La Liga and scored 82 goals,
Atletico has been unable to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Now, for the Red Army's 23-year-old forward Torres, his dream can finally come true tonight, but the first game of the Champions League has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Captain Gerrard's toe injury has not yet recovered, and he will play with the injury in this game, so Liverpool
The goal scoring responsibility will be handed over more to Fernando Torres.
In this regard, Fernando Torres is very confident. When he was interviewed by the media before the game, he said this: "I have been preparing for this game for more than ten years, and I have made full preparations.
Get ready, just watch me score goals on the Champions League stage."
Originally, before the season, Fernando Torres could realize his dream of the Champions League, but he personally revealed that he had rejected invitations from Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, and at that time he only wanted to play for Atletico Madrid.
Now that the golden boy has joined the Red Army and finally arrived at the Champions League, he is also very excited. Fernando Torres said in an interview with Liverpool's official website: "Every player dreams of participating in the Champions League and competing with those great players.
I didn’t come to Anfield for money, I came to accept the challenge. There are opportunities to win more honors here. I believe I can help Liverpool win trophies. Now that I have such an opportunity, I want to use it to win more trophies.
Contribute the ball to the whole team.”
For this Spanish golden boy, Porto still has some concerns. Because Spain's golden boy has a very advantage in speed, his impact on the front line is a headache for Porto. For, Porto seems to be
Let their captain Emmanuel take on this responsibility.
However, although Fernando Torres has no experience in the Champions League, he has represented the Spanish national team for many years (played 43 times and scored 15 goals). It is not easy for Emmanuel to keep a close eye on Torres.
Therefore, Porto is still very afraid of Fernando Torres. Moreover, they are more afraid of Fernando Torres than Qiu Ze. In their view, Qiu Ze is easier to deal with, and Fernando Torres is even worse.
deal with.
Porto head coach Ferreira explained this: "We already have a very deep understanding of Chris. He came from us, and we know his characteristics very well. Moreover, we also have the experience to deal with him.
method."
"For us, Chris is easier to deal with. Spain's Fernando Torres is more difficult to deal with. His impact on the front line will cause us a lot of trouble." Ferreira said, "
Of course, this does not mean that Porto will lose. We are very confident about this game, and we have Quaresma."
In Ferreira's mind, Quaresma is a very capable and very strong player. As long as this player is here, Porto will defeat all opponents. Therefore, this is why Ferreira wants to retain Quare.
The most important reason for sma.
And in Ferreira's heart, he has always had a wish, which is to lead Porto to win another UEFA Champions League championship like Jose Mourinho did. This is also Ferreira's promise to Quaresma
, if Porto cannot win the Champions League this season, then next season, Ferreira will no longer block Quaresma's transfer.
Therefore, Porto is very confident now. Even if they face any opponent, they will not be afraid, because in their hearts, they are already a Champions League champion team. For a team like Liverpool, they are still
Really not afraid.
In this game, Porto's goal is to get three points at home. Of course, the better thing is to get more goal difference. If Liverpool's confidence is wiped out in one game, then they will qualify as top of the group.
It's easier.
At the pre-match press conference, Porto head coach Ferreira did not hide his goal for this game. He said this at the press conference: "We have only one goal for this game, and that is
Get the victory. We will start from this game to lay a solid foundation for our group qualifying. We are fully prepared for this game. I believe that my players can achieve the goals we set before the game!"
The speech of Porto coach Ferreira naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many reporters, of course, especially the English reporters. In their view, Porto's desire to defeat Liverpool is undoubtedly a wishful thinking. Porto people are too arrogant.
Liverpool's head coach Benitez couldn't help but frown when he heard what Porto's head coach Ferreira said. This Porto head coach was so arrogant that he didn't take Liverpool seriously.
Benitez, who was sitting next to him, curled his lips and said, "We came to Porto not just hoping to get a draw. Just like the game in Eindhoven last season, we must win. If we want to qualify, some people say ten points is enough.
Thirty. I think we need to get 12 points to ensure qualifying. I think we need to win all three home games and win one away game. We need to qualify early in the group stage, not like in previous seasons.
Wait until the last minute."
Although Benitez did not speak directly about the game against Porto, everyone could see that Benitez meant that they must win against Porto. Look at what he meant, twelve points, three home games
To win, there is an away game that must be won.
Moreover, the guy behind Hai Hai doesn't want to show up at the last moment like he did in previous seasons. They want to qualify early. The meaning is not clear, but they want to win the first game against Porto.
As for this guy who never said what Porto meant, he didn't take Porto seriously. Porto is not worth mentioning to them, Liverpool.
