Wenger stood between several courts, watching Arsenal's players perform tactical exercises. ??

The Champions League was tied away by Dynamo Kyiv, and the league was defeated by Hull City at home. Arsenal players were under tremendous pressure. Even in ordinary training, the players worked very hard and went all out for every attack and defense.

"Arsena, the children are in good condition, tomorrow's game should be able to win." Assistant coach Pat, who has played for Arsenal for 40 years. Rice said with satisfaction.

Wenger's face was very serious and said: "Porto will definitely defend. For us, the first 30 minutes are very important. If we can score in the first 30 minutes, the victory will belong to us. If we can't Goals, the game will become elusive."

Rice said: "Arsena, where do you think that funny little guy will play?" Rice feels funny when he talks about it. Generally, before the game, I guess a certain player will not. I haven't guessed that a certain player will. Which position to play?

Wenger said: "If you say high, he must be a midfielder. As long as Porto wants to defend, he will definitely be a midfielder. In addition to height, he has all the talents of a midfielder. He is brave, strong, cunning, and good at running."

Rice said: "Since you are so optimistic about him, why don't you buy him 30 million? We are not short of money."

Wenger said: "He is the best heir to Vieira. He can make Arsenal's waist tougher, but he is too expensive. No 19-year-old is worth more than 100,000 yuan, less than 30 million yuan. Buying and selling, more than 30 million is gambling."

Rice deeply agreed and said, "It should be Meireles who is partnering with her high partner. Can the children break through their interception?"

Wenger said: "Normally, it should be a double midfielder. It is not ruled out that they will have three midfielders. You must know that Mourinho used to be the head coach of this team."

Wenger said with confidence: "We need to play faster, the ball faster, and move faster, so that we can cross the opponent's dense defense line. As long as we advance the ball, all the initiative will be in our hands, and the victory will also belong. we."

Rice said: "The key is who will break the deadlock, Van Persie, Adebayor..."

Wenger said: "Everyone has the task of scoring. In addition, we must prevent the opponent from getting the ball, especially the long shot of Xiao Donggao. Cesc has a heavy task. He must always follow Xiao Donggao when he is defending. , I am worried about his physical fitness."

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

Wenger said: "It's okay, I've made Denilson more defenses at any time."

Only then did Rice reassured: "That's good. With the interference of Cesc and Denilson, Xiao Donggao won't be able to use it even with great strength."

The popularity of Sun Huahai, Zheng Hua, Shao Gang and others who have played more and more in the five major leagues has become more and more popular.

Arsenal played against Porto, who owns Gao Xiaodong, and caused a huge sensation in China. Every move of Porto and Arsenal has attracted the attention and discussion of the fans, and the TV media and paper media are also reporting on the dynamics of the two teams every day.

Due to Gao Xiaodong in Porto, Porto defeated last season's Champions League quarter-finals Fenerbahçe by a large score in the first round.

The radical "Football News" believes that Porto is very likely to break the embarrassing record of unbeaten England at the Emirates Stadium. Gao Xiaodong will break Arsenal's goal, making Wenger regret it.

Gao Xiaodong likes to score goals in a strong dialogue. This time he faces a summer transfer.

The fans on both sides supported their teams and belittled their opponents, and the live posts naturally turned into polemic posts.

Arsenal fans say that Porto is just a second-tier league champion, and cannot even play in the UEFA Cup, so they are not qualified to be on the same level as Arsenal.

Porto fans satirized Arsenal for not even having a Champions League, and they are embarrassed to look down on Porto, who holds two Champions League champions.

Arsenal fans immediately said that Porto’s first championship was already an old calendar, and that the second championship was stolen by bribing the referee, and they were embarrassed to show off.

Porto fans said that as long as UEFA did not deprive Porto of the championship, then Porto would be the Champions League champion, and Arsenal would be the strongest. They did not win the Champions League and would not be worthy of the title of giants.
