Chapter 287

At Kearney training base, Arsene Wenger stood between several stadiums to watch Arsenal's players conduct tactical drills.

The Champions League away draw by Dynamo Kiev, the League home defeat by Hull City, Arsenal players under great pressure, even in ordinary training, the players are also very hard, every attack and defense to go all out.

"Arsena, the children are in good condition and should be able to win tomorrow's game." Assistant Manager pat, who has been at Arsenal for 40 years. Rice said with relief.

"Porto will definitely defend, for us, the first 30 minutes is very important. If we can score in the first 30 minutes, the victory will belong to us. If we can't score in the first 30 minutes, the game will become elusive," he said

"What position do you think that funny little guy is going to play," Rice said Rice thinks it's funny to say that before the game, he usually guesses whether a player will start or not. He hasn't guessed which position a player will play.

Arsene Wenger said: "you say Gao, he must be at the back. If Porto wants to defend, he will play at the back. In addition to height, he has all the talent of the back waist, brave, strong, cunning, good at running

"If you are so optimistic about him, why don't you pay 30 million for him? We are not short of money," Rice said

"He is Vieira's best successor, he can make Arsenal's waist stronger, but he is too expensive, no 19-year-old should be worth more than 30 million, less than 30 million is business, more than 30 million is gambling," said Arsene Wenger

Rice agreed and said, "it should be Meireles who is partner with Gao. Can the children break through their interception?"

"Under normal circumstances, it should be double back midfield. We don't rule out that they have three back midfield. You know, Jose used to be the head coach of this team," he said

Hearing the name of Jose, rice's face showed disgust, said: "if they really row three back, the game will become very difficult."

"We need to play faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need to be faster, we need. As long as we advance the ball, the initiative will be in our hands and the victory will belong to us

Who is the key to break the deadlock

"Everyone has the task of scoring goals. In addition, we have to prevent the opponents from leading the ball, especially against Xiao Donggao's long-range shot. Cesc's task is very heavy. He should always follow Xiao Donggao when defending. I'm worried about his physical fitness," he said

Rice said: "I think we should worry about Cesc's attitude. He always despises Gao, saying that Xiao Donggao is a rough guy and may relax when defending."

"It's OK, I've got Denilson ready to make up for it," he said

Rice then reassured: "that's good. With the interference of Cesc and Denilson, Xiao Donggao can't even exert his great strength. "

In China, Arsenal have many supporters. With the disastrous defeat of the Chinese national team and the Olympic team in the world cup and the Olympic Games, and with the rise and fall of Manchester United star Dongfang Zhuo, Gao Xiaodong's popularity in China is getting higher and higher. He has the potential to surpass sun Huahai, Zheng Hua and Shao Gang who play in the five major leagues.

The match between Arsenal and Porto with Gao Xiaodong has caused a huge sensation in China. Porto and Arsenal's every move by the fans' attention and discussion, television media and print media are also reported every day in the news of the two teams.

As Gao Xiaodong was in Porto, Porto beat Fenerbahce, the top eight of last season's Champions League, by a big score in the first round, China looked high on Porto.

The radical "football daily" thinks that Porto is likely to break the embarrassing record of being unbeaten in England at the Emirates Stadium. Gao Xiaodong will break Arsenal's goal and make Arsene Wenger regret it.

The conservative "Sports Weekly" thinks that Porto is in good condition and is expected to keep a draw away from home although they are not as strong as Arsenal.

CCTV's sports news also send good wishes to Gao Xiaodong and Porto, hoping that Porto can make a breakthrough in the British away game, Gao Xiaodong can play well, and give a little hope to Chinese football in the dark.

On the Football Forum and in the post bar, Arsenal fans and Porto fans, mainly Gao Xiaodong's fans, started the debate a week ago. Arsenal fans firmly believe that the history of 22 home games unbeaten will give Arsenal enough psychological advantages, and home win can only be the only result.

Porto's fans think that it's time to break Porto's invincible history in England with five victories in a row in the league and the Champions League. Gao Xiaodong likes to score goals in the strong strong strong dialogue very much. In the face of the summer transfer chasing his own arsenal, Gao Xiaodong will burst out with all his energy. Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia, who is in poor condition, is sure to block it I can't stand the long-range shot of Gao Xiaodong.

The fans of both sides support their own teams and belittle their opponents, so the live post naturally becomes a debate post.Arsenal fans say Porto is just a second rate league champion. They can't even play the UEFA Cup in the Premier League, so they are not qualified to be compared with Arsenal.

Porto fans satirize that Arsenal don't even have a Champions League. Fortunately, they look down on Porto who holds two Champions League titles.

Arsenal fans immediately said that Porto's first title is already old, and the second one was stolen by bribing the referee. It's good to show off.

Porto fans say that as long as UEFA does not deprive Porto of the title, then Porto is the Champions League champion. No matter how strong Arsenal are, if they have not won the Champions League, they will not be worthy of the title of giants.

Winger first introduced Nasri's situation, he said: "Nasri has recovered, in the team's training, he is in good condition, can participate in tomorrow's game." And then he said, "well Porto is a great team, they have rich experience in the game, although the summer transfer away two main players, but the new little Donggao and Rodriguez showed their strength, this game will be very difficult, but Arsenal in their home will have a great play, after the first round draw, this round we have only one choice to win Choose. "

Ferreira is more low-key, he said: "the game in England is very difficult, when the opponent is Arsenal, the game will certainly become more difficult, here, we have not won a victory, this time we will try to change this situation Before that, Arsenal didn't win in the league and the Champions League, which puts them in a very dangerous situation. They need to win. Maybe this is a weakness we can take advantage of

Subsequently, the players of Arsenal and Porto also expressed their confidence and desire for victory on their own twitter. In the expectation of all, the battle between Arsenal and Porto gradually began.
