The ball snatched down, but Gao Xiaodong didn't know what was going on behind him. He didn't dare to control the ball. He passed it back to goalkeeper Helton and pointed to the right.
Helton understood, immediately passed the ball to fusile and continued to attack from the right.
Diaby went to intercept.
Fuxilai immediately passed the ball to hulk and let Hulk deal with Gibson. He used his speed to quickly forward.
Watching fusilet throw away Diaby and move forward along the flank, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is very depressed. Porto is a muscle. No matter where he gets the ball, whether there is a vacancy on the left or not in the middle, he must play on the right and seize the weakness of left back Gibson.
What makes Arsene Wenger even more depressed is that Diaby, who is deliberately arranged by him, has no use on the left side. He doesn't talk about the attack. The back waist still talks about the side attack, but the defense is also not good. He needs the middle to help defense frequently. What's the use of this.
Hoolke catches the ball, Gibson compresses the space to retreat, but after entering the semi-finals, hoolke is full of confidence, and comprehensively suppresses Gibson in terms of speed and strength, even if Gibson compresses the space, it is useless.
Hulk carries Gibson to break through, but Gibson reaches out and drags Hulk.
Although the referee Larson's penalty scale is very loose, Gibson repeatedly used fouls to stop Hulk, he can't ignore it, verbally warned Gibson and gave Porto a free kick.
Gao Xiaodong bullies Arsenal's header expert not to be many, did not punish this free kick, lets meileles to punish, he runs to the middle road to snatch the spot.
Gao Xiaodong's height is not high, Arsenal did not focus on him, did not expect meileles and Gao Xiaodong played a match, Gao Xiaodong quickly grab the front point, head a rub, the ball over the defender flew to the back point.
Porto left back sissokho, who has not been able to make any effort, doesn't know when to plug in. He nods the ball and ferries to the front of the penalty area. He also doesn't know when guarin, who runs from the right to the middle, volleys the ball.
GuaLin's long-range shot has always been unreliable, sometimes not, and was called the six pulse sword by Gao Xiaodong, but this time it was reliable. The ball roared straight to the top right corner of the goal.
It's a high quality volley.
When the ball flew out, Porto fans started cheering.
However, today's arsenal goalkeeper just like the open hanging, in front of Gao Xiaodong to save a snatch point, and this time the brave flying to save the guarin's long-range shot out of the bottom line.
Porto continue to corner, Gao Xiaodong to grab, this corner let guarin to penalty.
Just played a world wave, Porto fans are praising the one ball theory of melon, melon immediately hit the face, a high and floating arc ball directly to goalkeeper Almunia.
"Asshole!! Do you want to hang the door? " Ferreira was so angry that he yelled at guarin. He didn't know what he was thinking.
There was interference in the middle of Porto. Almunia's hand threw the ball to Sagna on the side and quickly launched a counterattack.
However, Walcott didn't have time to speed up, so meleres immediately blocked him. When Walcott walked to the Middle Road, guarin came back to chase him.
Walcott can only pass the ball to Nasri. When Nasri received the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already come over fiercely.
Nasri smashed the ball over Gao Xiaodong and immediately passed it to Diaby on the wing. There was no way. Gao Xiaodong was very fast. If he continued to control the ball and Gao Xiaodong entangled it, the ball would basically be lost.
Diaby has a strong ability to control and protect the ball, but he is slow. He seems to pull and buckle, and he can also spin in Marseilles. However, after several times, he still plays around within a radius of five meters, which does not pose a threat to Porto's defense. As soon as Porto's defenders are in place, Diaby immediately falls into Porto's bag.
This is an epitome of Arsenal's attack in this game. Walcott's right side was heavily defended, Adebayor was watched by two central defenders. Nasri and Fabregas in the middle couldn't hold the ball, and there was still a lack of receiving point in the pass. Giving Diaby on the left side was a waste of time, and he was trapped in the mire.
The lack of major general in Arsenal's defence is mainly due to the attack. If the attack is not smooth, the game will be difficult.
At this moment, he is very nostalgic for Arshavin, who scored four goals against Liverpool in the league. If Arshavin is there, Arsenal's wings will fly together, and Fabregas will be in the middle of the game. Porto's iron barrel formation may not be able to prevent him.
Even if there is no Arshavin, there is Rosicky in the line ah, Porto's right back fuxilai certainly dare not so arrogant attack.
Even if Arshavin and Rosicky don't have them, it's OK to have van Persie. At least Fabregas can pass more.
Maybe it's time to let Eduardo play, but the time for Eduardo to come back is short, and the professor is not sure to let him play such a fierce semi-final of the Champions League.
The professor thought a lot, but didn't expect that Nasri in the middle was also a good player on the left.
Nasri's defense is not good, but at least with Porto attack and defense, will not be Porto's right pressure.
Ten minutes later, the first half ended in a painful rhythm.Arsenal had only five poor shots in the first half, only one shot within the goal frame, and the number of hits to Porto's penalty area was very few. Porto also had five shots, but they had more corners and hit a post than Arsenal.
In the first half, Diaby scored 0 goal, 0 threat pass, 0 successful vertical breakthrough and made a lot of mistakes. Nasri failed in the middle and was hanged by Gao Xiaodong, Fernando and GuaLin.
Sky sports commentator Martin pointed out to the point, "the professor put Diaby on the side of the invention, not only did not improve Arsenal's left defense, but also weakened the left attack, equal to a change move weakened two people, if the half-time does not change, 0-0 is God bless."
The 15 minutes in midfield is very short. Some fans are still waiting in line to go to the toilet, and the game has already started.
After a bad first half, Arsene finally couldn't stand Diaby's performance on the wing. He put diabila back in the middle and let Nasri go to the left.
This is a conventional tactic. Everyone can think of it. Porto coach Ferreira transferred guarin to the position of right avant-garde just to deal with Nasri. I didn't expect that Arsene Wenger, a veteran statesman, also changed his tactics. As a result, guarin has no place to play.
Nasri returned to the left in the second half, and guarin came in handy to encircle Nasri with Hulk.
However, Nasri's threat on the flank is much bigger than that on the middle. If he is in fusile, he will not dare to plug in casually. Although Hulk can still crush Gibson, Nasri often has the chance to pick fusile and help Fabregas. Arsenal have improved on the left.
With the improvement on the left, the pressure on Fabregas in the middle and Walcott on the right was less. Arsenal's attack became active in the second half.
