044 Kuai Le Ma

  Remember in one second

  The next day, the Marítimo official website published a report on Gret's retirement, stating that Gret was retiring due to his son's illness and could no longer focus on playing football. This news caused a stir in the entire Portuguese football scene.

  Although Geraldes is not a top star, he is still a main player of Marítimo and has some reputation in Portugal. His sudden retirement also became the center of attention in Portuguese football in recent days.

  In the few days back in Portugal, Wu Yu spent his time training for the next round of the league and accompanying Wang Pei Jun shopping, making others quite envious. Monica seemed to have also disappeared from sight after Wang Pei Jun appeared, not clinging to Wu Yu.

  。

  On the third day back in Portugal, Wu Yun and Gao Wei returned to the club as usual for training. However, when they entered the club, they found that everyone's face showed excitement and joy, as if something happy had happened at the club.

  "Dick O, do you know why everyone in the club is so happy?" Wu Yun asked Dick O as he caught up with him.

  "Oh? You guys don't know yet?" Dick O was apparently a little surprised at the two's ignorance: "Gureish is going to join our team!"

  Dike's words couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he was somewhat elated.

  "Who is Gureishimo? Why haven't I ever heard of him?" asked Gaowei, who had caught up and was scratching his head in puzzlement.

  "What? You don't know either, Gureishu!?" Dick's expression became even more astonished at this time.

  Wu Yun thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the name of someone he had misunderstood before:

  "It's not Gureishimo, it's Kuromarime!"

  As soon as Wu Yu's voice fell, Gao Wei was stunned.

  Quaresma, a name that is extremely familiar to Chinese fans and players. He was once the talented player who formed Portugal's twin stars with C.Ronaldo. Although he didn't reach the expected height, he still enjoys great popularity globally.

  And his joining, whether it is for the popularity of Maritimo Club or the strength of the team, has different degrees of improvement. No wonder everyone in the club is so excited today.

  Wu Yu finally remembered the words Martens said a few days ago: The team's strength will not decline, but will be improved. It seems that he had already determined this deal and just signed it today.

  The two confirmed that the newcomer was indeed the famous Quaresma and then asked Dick Advocaat about the transfer situation.

  Quaresma has been without a new club since leaving Al Ahli in the summer, and for the past six months he has been training with former side Porto to maintain his fitness.

  Before the New Year arrived, his agent finally helped him get in touch with Maridimo, and he also proactively lowered his salary requirements.

  Despite this, he still received Maridimo's highest salary, with a post-tax annual salary of 15 million euros and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Maridimo.

  Despite having to bear such a huge salary, the Maridimo board of directors is still very satisfied. The Dos Barreiros Stadium, which was shrouded in gloomy clouds after Gret's retirement a few days ago, finally saw the sun come out and felt the warmth of the sun again.

  "It seems Mendes has done something good too." Wu Yu said in his heart.

  ……

  Wu Yu and the other three returned to the locker room, where they changed clothes and prepared for training. At this time, head coach Martins led a well-dressed man in front of everyone. This well-dressed man was undoubtedly Quaresma.

  Wu Yu raised his head and carefully observed this Portuguese winger who was as famous as thunder. His short hair was neat, his chin was clean-shaven, a large diamond earring on each ear, a smile that seemed to be out of control on his face, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had experienced all the hardships and struggles of life.

  "Alright, I'd like to introduce a new teammate to everyone, and that is Ricardo Quaresma!" Martins said loudly towards the many players in the locker room.

  After Martins finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted in the locker room. The addition of such a renowned soccer star undoubtedly greatly enhanced the team's strength.

  Martins' face, on the other hand, was beaming with a bright smile. Indeed, Quaresma's joining has greatly enhanced the team's strength, although it is still unknown how much of his original strength he can recover, but a camel that has been starved to death is bigger than a horse, and Martins is quite optimistic about Quaresma's prospects in the team.

  "Ricardo, are you training with me today?" Martens asked Quaresma beside him.

  "Of course, I came to the team to play," said Quaresma frankly.

  "Alright, that's your spot, get changed quickly." Martens pointed to the position originally belonging to Gret and handed it over to Quaresma.

  ……

  On the training ground, after several days of joint training, the team members' confrontation slowly came up. The next game is at home against Coimbra University on the weekend, which is a mid-to-lower-level weak team. Nevertheless, Maritimo, who has not won two rounds, still treats it with caution.

  After warming up and basic training, Martins arranged group confrontations to practice tactics.

  Wu Yu, Gao Wei and Dick Oo were divided into the main group, while Quaresma was in the substitute group because he had just joined the team.

  "Quaresma, show me your breakthrough and skills." Wu Yu thought to himself as he looked at Quaresma wearing a white vest.

  The group confrontation began, and the main force group controlled the situation on the field with a slightly higher strength. The substitute group occasionally had opportunities to counterattack, but due to Quaresma's lack of tacit understanding with his teammates, these counterattacks were not threatening.

  Quaresma once again picked up the ball on the wing, beating Brügger before breaking into the penalty area.

  "Ricardo, you can't get past me!" Gao Wei shouted confidently as he ran over to fill the gap.

  Quaresma didn't dribble past Gao Wei with speed, but stopped the ball and made a few cycling motions in place in front of him.

  Gao Wei saw his opponent and didn't choose to break through himself. He took a slight step forward, wanting to use his body to hold off the opponent.

  At this moment, Quaresma's foot moved slightly, the ball mysteriously passed through Gao Wei's ***, and he quickly started, wiping past Gao Wei.

  A person wearing a loincloth walked past others with an air of confidence and cleanliness.

  Gao Wei was overtaken and wanted to catch up, but it was too late. Quaresma quickly rushed into the penalty area and scored with a push shot to open the record for the substitute team!

  "Too strong!" Wu Yu looked at the smiling Quaresma running back, secretly marveling in his heart: "When his body hasn't fully recovered to its best state, he didn't choose to force a breakthrough, but instead used cleverness and technique to defeat Gao Wei. Is this what it means for top players to control the game? Wu Yu asked himself if he could remain as calm as Quaresma when facing opportunities."

  "Dawei, you've lost face!" A teammate from the substitute team laughed at Gao Wei. After several months of getting along, they also knew that Wu Yu and Gao Wei were easy-going people, so they often joked around.

  "Damn it! I won't let him get away with it so easily next time!" Gao Wei said fiercely, having also learned some profanity from the group of rough men.

  The match continued, and the main group quickly equalized the score with Wu Yudi's advantage. The confrontation between Gao Wei and Quaresma was still ongoing. Although Gao Wei was very vigilant in the subsequent confrontations, he still lost more often than not when facing Quaresma, who had richer experience and better skills, making him particularly frustrated.

  。

  "Xiao Yu, Kuai Leisi is too strong! When facing him, I have no idea what he will do next?" Gao Wei complained to Wu Yu while taking a shower.

  "This is the gap between us and top players, let alone Quaresma's current physical condition has not yet recovered to its best state. Once he recovers, it's possible that two of you can't even defend against him." The neighbor Wu Yu sighed.

  "What's to be done?" Gao Wei asked somewhat aimlessly.

  Kwadwo Asamoah is his teammate after all, asking how to deal with these problems is indeed a bit unnecessary, because in the official match, Gao Wei does not need to face Kwadwo Asamoah.

  Wu Yu didn't respond, and instead quietly took a shower. He also didn't know how much Quaresma's joining the team would boost their strength, he only knew that his current self was still not as good as this somewhat washed-up soccer star, and couldn't help but feel a bit down.

  ……

  The news of Quaresma joining Marítimo sent shockwaves through the Portuguese football world once again. Although Quaresma has been away from Portuguese football for several years, his reputation is still unmatched by any player currently in the Primeira Liga. His move to Marítimo also makes Marítimo a focal point of attention in Portuguese football once again.

  On the island of Madeira, many Marítimo fans who were worried about the team's poor performance before the winter break are now excited and celebrating on the streets after the signing of Quaresma. This has also overshadowed Nacional's fans, who had been in high spirits after the derby match.

  These days, whether in the bars of Funchal or on the streets, people are talking about Quaresma's transfer, and every fan has a look of excitement and expectation on their face. Quaresma can be said to be Marítimo's most famous player in recent years, even in history.

  The effect of Quaresma's joining also includes that more fans gathered outside the training ground, these fans, in addition to a part who had been watching Wu Lei train all along, were mostly new recruits who joined the onlookers' camp, gazing at Quaresma's handsome appearance from behind the iron fence and letting out shrill screams.

  What troubled Maridimo's coaching staff also happened again in their helpless smile.

  After two days of training with the team, Martins put him on the roster for their next match, but did not start and sat on the bench.
