The second leg of the Champions League semi-final is over, which means that all of Arsenal's tasks this season are over.
After losing the FA Cup to Chelsea, the league has lost the hope of winning the championship ahead of time, and the only Champions League that is favored by the outside world has been knocked out by Porto. This season, Arsenal are facing the dilemma of being empty again.
Arsene Wenger is sitting on the coach's bench, staring at the players of Porto who are celebrating on the pitch. His head is full of question marks. Why did Arsenal lose to Porto? Why do Arsenal have so many injuries? Why didn't the home court defend Falcao's goal
Rice saw Ferreira come to shake hands with Arsene, but Arsene didn't seem to see it. Although it was embarrassing to lose to Porto, it was too disrespectful, which damaged the reputation of Arsene and Arsene. He quickly pushed Arsene, "coach."
When Arsene saw Ferreira, he stood up slowly, shook his hand with Ferreira, said: "Congratulations", turned around and followed the players to the dressing room.
The Arsenal fans in the stands haven't completely left yet. Looking at the lost Arsenal players and the tottering Arsene Wenger, they are angry, emotional and sad. They didn't expect to be killed in double by Porto before the game. They are all overjoyed to know that Porto has eliminated Manchester United. They think that Arsenal are stable in the final. They didn't expect that it would be such a fate in the end There are two results.
"Congratulations on Porto's march to Rome! Champions League final, here we are again! Successive elimination of Red Devils Manchester United, Gunners Arsenal, Porto become the most black horse! We don't know who the next opponent will be and whether we can win the championship in the end, but at this point Porto deserves everyone's pride... "
Listening to the commentator's passionate praise of Porto's players, the Arsenal fans could not stay any longer and left quickly.
The Porto fans in the stands have been clapping and cheering for a long time.
On the pitch, after the celebrations, some Porto players went back to the dressing room and some began to be interviewed by reporters.
Gao Xiaodong, who scored nine goals in the Champions League with one pass and one shot in two rounds, is undoubtedly a star on the field. His fame has completely covered Fabregas, Walcott, Adebayor and others who are much more famous than him, and naturally has been favored by all reporters.
"How do you feel when you lead your team to the finals?" Asked an English journalist.
There is a small trap in this. Many reporters are concerned about how Gao Xiaodong answers.
After entering the professional football world, he became a news figure. Gao Xiaodong has been tested by reporters and accumulated a lot of means to deal with them. He can still recognize such language traps.
"Thank you very much for this reporter's flattering me. I'm not the captain of the team. I'm just a deputy at best. In addition, I don't agree with the saying that we beat Arsenal both at home and away. How can it be called a surprise? Porto is a former Champions League winner. Arsenal didn't win the championship. In any way, it's not a surprise. We made it to the final with our strength and efforts. ”
GAO Xiaodong's reply was so domineering, sophisticated and impeccable. He also satirized Arsenal, which made the reporters at the scene secretly marvel that this Oriental boy is really not simple, especially the English reporters. Sun Huahai and Dongfang Zhuo, whom they had contact with, were either straightforward and impulsive, or naive and eccentric, neither of them was so cunning and tactful as 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong.
"Do you want to get to the final before playing against Arsenal?" A reporter saw that Gao Xiaodong said it wasn't cold, and couldn't help asking.
Gao Xiaodong affirmed: "yes, why not? We won and lost in the group stage. We also eliminated them against Manchester United. Arsenal will not be more difficult to play than Manchester United."
"Can you tell me why you can beat the stronger Arsenal?" The Portuguese journalist Anna finally asked a normal question.
Gao Xiaodong said: "we are more determined, more courageous, more targeted and have grasped the weakness of Arsenal. In addition, our luck is better than that of Arsenal. They have a lot of injuries."
"Who are you looking forward to in the final?" Asked a Spanish journalist.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "there's no difference. Both teams are stronger than us. If I can choose, I'd rather choose Chelsea because they don't have the experience to win the championship."
"At present, you have scored 10 goals in the Champions League, ranking first in the shooter list, and Messi has scored 8 goals, ranking second. Who do you think is more likely to win the Golden Boot award Asked another Spanish journalist.
When he asked such a brain damaged question, Gao Xiaodong replied with a smile: "which is bigger, 8 or 10?"
Gao Xiaodong's witty answer won the applause of all reporters, and everyone laughed. Reporter Anna's eyes at Gao Xiaodong also became very hot.
"There are a lot of rumors about your transfer now. Have you decided which League to go to next season?"
A reporter asked.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "did I say I would leave Portugal? Don't talk about it now. I just got to the final. Let me be happy for a while
"Before the final eight, no one is optimistic about Porto entering the final. Do you think Porto can win the big ear cup in the finalAsked a German journalist.
"We have not been expected. We fought all the way to the final. There is only one round in the final. I think anything can happen. Well, that's all for the interview. I'm going to take a bath. "
Gao Xiaodong didn't want to fight with reporters any more. He waved his hand, pushed away the reporters and turned back to the dressing room.
Porto coach Ferreira and Arsenal manager are attending a post match press conference in the auditorium of dragon stadium.
Ferreira has just published his summary of the game, he said he was very satisfied with the game, the players played their own tactical deployment, and played a 12% strength, the final result is also very perfect.
Ferreira believes that Porto is not as famous as Arsenal, but Porto is fully worthy of the final. They beat Arsenal in two rounds and performed better than Arsenal.
Ferreira said Porto will be fully prepared for the Champions League final at the end of May from now on. He hopes to give a wonderful final to fans all over the world.
In the face of excitement. Ferreira, who is determined to compete with his predecessor, is in a very sad mood. He doesn't even want to attend the press conference, but in the end, he bravely faced the defeat.
"Tonight was the most disappointing night. In fact, we were out after Gao Xiaodong scored. We all played against a team with solid defense and waiting for the chance of counterattack. I admit that Porto played better and more resolute, but after fighting all the way for a long time to reach the semi-final, we lost the game. I am very, very disappointing. I think the fans are looking forward to this important night. It's really sad to let people who support the team down
"We don't want to blame individual players. We have several experienced defenders who have been absent for a long time and weakened our strength. Today van Persie and Almunia were injured again But that's part of football. Facing a team with solid defense and like to fight back, we can't do much today. If we need to regret it, we should regret losing the goal at home. If we don't have that goal, the result will be totally different
"We didn't completely defend Gao Xiaodong in the two rounds and let him make two goals in the two rounds, which is the biggest mistake we made. To be fair, although Gao Xiaodong played shamelessly, he was strong and fast, and he was as experienced as an old player who had played for several years. Compared with him, our young people are too naive, but I believe in us With strength, we will continue to improve. If you look at the average age of the team, the team is still young. To be able to reach this level deserves a lot of praise. "
"We can talk all night about the mistakes we made in the game, but it doesn't change the mistakes on the field - the results can't change anymore. What I want to say is that in the two rounds, we had a chance and played some beautiful matches, but we didn't seize the chance. Finally - congratulations to Porto for their promotion to the final and good luck to them in the final
After that, he did not accept any questions from the reporters, so he left the venue a little lonely and a little proud. At the moment, he thought that his great ladies would bring him the championship after they grew up, but he did not expect that he would be without the championship for a longer time.
