Arsenal hit through Porto's dense defence with a wall smashing style, forming a goal. Although there was no goal, it was very dangerous. Porto relied on the courage of goalkeeper Helton and Gao Xiaodong to block it. What about next time? With 10 minutes left in the game, can Porto have such good luck every time?
It's hard to play this kind of fast wall hitting cooperation, which requires fast and accurate passing, but it's also difficult to defend after playing, and it's also difficult to mark people completely. Ferreira simply let the players continue to shrink and become a real iron barrel array.
And Gao Xiaodong is not interested in Ferreira's iron bucket array Dafa. He thinks it's better to use obscene Dafa at this time.
As for Arsene Wenger's attack on Gao Xiaodong in the middle of the week, Gao Xiaodong didn't pay attention to it. For Gao Xiaodong, winning is the first thing and everything else is trivial.
"Brothers! If you lie down, don't get busy. It's a little longer
"The referee will foul if he can't see. Don't let them run so comfortably."
"Brother Meireles, you are an old man. How can you play so regularly? Who can give you a spiritual civilization certificate?"
Gao Xiaodong shouts to his teammates.
Although Gao Xiaodong is young, except for captain Alves, he has the highest prestige in the team. In terms of popularity, Alves, who is cold every day, is much worse than Gao Xiaodong.
With the help of Gao Xiaodong, Porto not only fouled the attacking players, but also started to attack Arsenal's running players without the ball, preventing them from playing smoothly at all costs.
Although Rossetti gave Porto a few minutes' hard card, he didn't give it to Porto.
The most unjust is Meireles. Meireles is not good at making small moves. He was caught by the referee Rossetti on his second shot and got a yellow card. However, habitual criminals Gao Xiaodong and Fernando have nothing to do with it.
Hitting the wall requires not only the timing and accuracy of passing, but also the players who run without the ball. If there is any problem in any link, the cooperation will make mistakes.
Porto's players had two yellow cards, but the cooperation of Arsenal players failed continuously. They were attacked by Porto and nearly lost the ball.
The most important thing is that the mentality of the Arsenal players has been greatly affected, the timing of passing is either fast or slow, the accuracy is also reduced, and the smooth delivery can no longer be played.
Look at the time has reached 85 minutes, time is pressing, Arsenal players completely give up the hit the wall with the play, they are not good at the long pass.
Porto's side defense is also tight. It's very difficult for Arsenal to pass the ball. It's not good to just hang the ball into the penalty area to find Bendtner and Adebayor, because the defender is facing the ball while the attacker is back to back.
The game time is less and less, and the impatient Arsene Wenger is not concerned about his own art football. He takes centre back Julu to the forbidden area of Porto and uses three 1.9 meters to fight for the top to create a second attack.
Porto also has two 1.9-meter defenders and 1.88-meter Alves. They can't cooperate with each other in the restricted area. It's hard to find space even for long-range shooting. They can only rely on the header.
In the 88th minute of the game, Fabregas scored the ball to the side, Walcott and Sagna cooperated, and finally successfully hit the bottom line. He quickly took sissokho's foot and passed the ball to the penalty area.
It's easy for Arsenal to get a chance to pass from the bottom line. Adebayor, Julu and Bendtner are fighting for the header. Porto's three high defenders are keeping an eye on each other to keep their opponents from jumping.
Bendtner's bounce was better. He broke free of Rolando and headed hard to the goal.
However, after getting rid of Rolando, Bendtner also missed the best time to fight for the top. The ball was on his scalp and flew high into the sky.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on the ball from the sky, trying to grab the position.
The goalkeeper felt that the ball was too dangerous in the penalty area, so he jumped up from the goal line and double boxed the ball.
At this time, Zhulu also came to fight for the top, hit Helton, Zhulu and Helton fell in the small restricted area.
The ball came out and fell right in front of Fabregas.
Fabregas saw that the goalkeeper fell down. He didn't wait for the ball to fall to the ground. He lifted the ball to the empty goal.
This scared Porto people, goalkeeper Helton fell, as long as the ball hanging in the range of the goal, it will undoubtedly enter.
Sapluna rushed to the goal, trying to head the ball out, but Zhulu secretly pulled sapluna's clothes below and didn't let him jump.
Sapluna watched the ball fly from his head to the goal, only a few centimeters away, but he couldn't touch it. In a hurry, he reached out and hit the ball out of the crossbar.
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
"Handball on purpose!"……
Arsenal people are surprised and happy, all run to the referee Rossetti, to complain about sapluna handball.
Saplunard didn't move much, but Rossetti saw it. He immediately whistled, pointed to the penalty spot and showed sapluna a red card.
Sapluna was unconvinced and protested to Rossetti that Julu pulled his shirt, but there was such chaos in the restricted area that Rossetti could not see it. He ignored sapluna's protest and pointed to the outside to let him leave as soon as possible.
"Even if we don't want to take the initiative to get the ball out of saruna, maybe we're still in the lead."
Sapluna was in a better mood, turned away from the court and went to the mixed channel to continue watching the game.
At the moment, 90 minutes of regular competition time has passed, the fourth official raised the sign and made up for 4 minutes.
Arsenal fans in the stands finally gave out cheers and applause that they had not seen for a long time. They saw the hope that as long as Arsenal could score the penalty and score another goal in the last four minutes, they could knock out Porto with an away goal.
Originally thought that the overall situation has been decided, Porto fans are very nervous, they shout the name of goalkeeper Helton to the stadium, encouraging him to save the penalty.
Porto's commentator was relieved to smile, "red dot package, if Arsenal score the penalty, the situation will become unpredictable, a lot of things can happen in four minutes."
In the VIP box, Mendes stood at the window, and da Costa also poked his head out of the corner where the reporter couldn't see, nervously looking at the court.
The penalty is Fabregas, in Fabregas run-up, Porto fans issued a strong boo to interfere with Fabregas.
Under the huge pressure, in order to ensure the success rate, Fabregas push angle is too cunning, the ball hit the post and bounced out.
Fabregas saw the ball hit the post and ran to make up, but Gao Xiaodong took the lead to kick the ball out of the baseline.
"Ah! God
"Great
Long live the gatepost
"Alas! It's a good penalty
"Fabregas can't be a great man!"
……
Cheers, applause and sighs mingled in the stands, and the stadium became very noisy.
It's almost impossible for Arsenal's young people to score two goals in the remaining four minutes. They have lost confidence and fighting spirit. Under the tenacious defense of Porto people, the Arsenal people who play one more can never create a chance to score again.
Beep, beep, beep
In the 95th minute of the match, the referee Rossetti blew the whistle for the end of the match. Porto beat Arsenal 1-0 to advance to the Champions League final with a 2-0 total score.
PS: I recommend a football novel. It's called Xiaoxin's entertainment superstar of football. It's going to be on the shelf. Brothers, support it.
