Chapter 316: Blossoms Inside the Wall, Fragrance Within

Lisbon Athletic's team doctor rushed onto the field.

After the examination, he helped Quaresma to the sidelines for a further check.

Seeing the situation, Trigella immediately called for Drogba and Kwame Ayew to warm up.

Subsequently, Trigella replaced Quaresma with Drogba.

He then comforted Quaresma, telling him something along the lines of, "We still need you for the league and European competitions, it would be too much of a loss if you got injured in a match like the Portugal Cup."

Quaresma was understanding and expressed his compliance with the arrangement.

But in fact, even without this incident, Trigella might have substituted Quaresma anyway.

With Matthaus's absence due to injury and Pepe becoming a starter, a substitution slot had been freed up.

Trigella tended to use this substitution slot more often on Quaresma.

Some believe that this kind of substitution led to Quaresma's fluctuating form.
