The home court of Amadora in Hexi can only accommodate 12000 people, even if there are so few seats, because Amadora's performance is too poor, and the league is rarely full, let alone the cup.
However, the Portuguese Cup semi-final on April 23 was an exception.
As Amadora accidentally reached the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup, they were also able to meet Porto, the dominant player of the Portuguese Super League. Although they were swept by Porto's four goals in the away game, it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the fans of aladora. Half an hour before the game, the Gome Stadium in Hexi was full
you know, Porto eliminated the defending champion Manchester United in the Champions League and made it into the last four, Amadora lost four goals away from home, which is really not much.
Alladoma's hope of reaching the Portugal Cup final is very slim, almost zero, and the players have never thought about it. They just have a good performance to see if they can be favored by Porto or other giants.
Although the game is unimportant, Porto is not a substitute. In addition to keeping the main players in shape, Ferreira also wants to practice the formation and playing style against Arsenal.
Although Porto and Arsenal won at home in the group stage and Porto also won the Gunners' goal, it was the group stage. Porto won the Arsenal match and both sides had already qualified in the group stage. Arsenal didn't give their best.
Now we meet in the semi-final, only 180 minutes to go to Rome, Arsenal will do their best.
It's easier against Arsenal than against Manchester United.
Manchester United is a shock type of play. It's not always easy to play in the iron barrel defense, but Arsenal are strong in attack and weak in defense. Porto's best and only way to play is to defend and counterattack.
Almost all the weak teams play defensive counterattack against the strong teams, but not every weak team has been successful. How to defend and how to counterattack is a deep knowledge. Just like the defensive counterattack of Jose Mourinho can lead Porto to win the Champions League, and can lead Chelsea to win the Premier League without winning the championship for decades, while the defensive counterattack of other weak teams can't even keep relegation.
This game Ferreira discharged a 4231 formation, the two full back guarin, Fernando all on the stage, Meireles, Hulk separated on both sides, Gao Xiaodong in the middle, tiger Falcao top in front.
The game was very easy. Porto just practiced his playing style and didn't fight hard with Amadora. Amadora had little hope of promotion and didn't move much. It looked more like a training match.
Because the main left back of the Champions League opponent Arsenal Clichy is injured, Gallas, who can play left back and center back, is also injured, and another center back Zhu Luye is injured. Recently, the left back of Arsenal is 19-year-old Gibbs, and the center back of Toure is the old Silvestre, which is the Achilles' heel of Arsenal. Porto's training is very difficult It's a right-wing attack, hoping to break through and score on Arsenal's left.
The game played for 30 minutes, Porto 1-0 away lead, Gao Xiaodong cross, Hulk breakthrough, Falcao goal, this is what Ferreira wants to see, the right attack is very sharp, the middle of the grab point is very in place, unfortunately, the middle of the two back midfield Fernando and guarin is still a bit rash, need Gao Xiaodong more defense, Gao Xiaodong's defensive ability is not enough There is no doubt that this will weaken Xiaodong's attack.
"This melon forest is two years older than Gao Xiaodong. Why is it more impetuous than Gao Xiaodong?"
Ferreira stood on the edge of the field sighing.
……
Anfield
the 33rd round of the premier league between Liverpool and Arsenal is in full swing.
For the first time this season, Liverpool have seen the dawn of winning the title. They have played two more games than Manchester United. At present, they are one point less than Manchester United. As long as they win the coveted Arsenal, they can surpass Manchester United by two points and reach the top temporarily.
This season, Arsenal locked the top four position early, 10 points more than Everton in the fifth place, 10 points less than Manchester United in the first place, and the following League has almost become a garbage event.
However, what made Benitez angry was that Arsenal didn't seem to give up the game at all. They actually played with Liverpool and Arshavin took the lead in the first 19 minutes.
After two goals from Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun, Arshavin scored a hat trick to overtake Liverpool 3-2.
"Damned Frenchman, did you accept Ferguson's black gold and kick us so hard that you won't be afraid of being eliminated by Porto in the Champions League?"
Benitez angrily kicked Aquarius away after Arshavin scored the third goal.
Watching Arshavin perform a hat trick, Arsene Wenger's eyes are full of tears. In such a good condition and with such a strong ability, the Russian can't play in the Champions League. Damn the qualification requirements of the Champions League, he knew that he should have bought Arshavin in the summer.
In fact, Arsene Wenger doesn't want to compete with Liverpool in this game, but he doesn't want to lose to his old rivals. He just lost 2-1 to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final three days ago. If he loses again, he will have a lot of pressure and affect his morale.
However, what Arsene Wenger did not expect was that the players were too young. When they were in good form, they could not stop their serve, and they were even ahead of Liverpool at Anfield.In the 75th minute of the game, Torres made a false shot, crossed the old Silvestre to level again, and the score became 3-3.
then, eager to win, Liverpool made a crazy attack. Arsene Wenger saw that Liverpool were fighting too hard and was preparing to replace forward Robin van Persie, but at this time, Mascherano threw a flying shovel over Robin van Persie, who fell to the ground and never played again Come on.
Van Persie was carried out on a stretcher. Arsene's face changed dramatically and he roared at Rafael Benitez: "you are so barbaric!"
Benitez sneered and turned his face contemptuously. He said that the old fool didn't have enough energy to play in the Champions League. NIMA and I were fighting in the league, and the main players were all injured. I hope God will let Arsenal be eliminated by Porto. Jealous Frenchman, he can't win the championship, and he doesn't want others to win the championship.
Then the team doctor came to the conclusion that van Persie's old ankle injury recurred and he was afraid that he would not be able to play in the two Champions League semi-finals.
Arsene was stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this. If he had known it would be like this, he would have been on the bench.
……
On April 23, Porto and Arsenal, the opponents of the semi-final of the Champions League, each played a game that was not important. Porto played in the Portuguese Cup. Porto, who was trying to train, lost 1-2 away, but they still advanced to the final of the Portuguese Cup with a huge advantage of 4-0 at home.
There is no hope to win the title. The game between the top four carefree Arsenal and Liverpool has no influence on Arsenal, but it has a huge influence on Liverpool. However, Arsenal unexpectedly drew 4-4 away from Liverpool, and Arshavin scored four goals alone, which blocked the progress of the Red Army and made the Red Army general very angry after the game.
And Arsenal are not flattering, they got a point, but also lost the main striker van Persie, to their Champions League semi-final cast a shadow.
After the match, the media were surprised at how hard Arsenal played in the match. Some thought the professor was mentally disabled, some thought he was fair and dignified, and some thought he was entrusted by Ferguson to attack Benitez.
Of course, Manchester United manager Ferguson is very happy. He praised Arsene Wenger after the game, saying that Arsene is a great manager with strong personality and sense of justice.
