The time difference between the second round and the first round of the Champions League semi-final is very short. Before the smoke of the war of words has cleared, the Arsenal army arrived in Portugal's second largest city, Porto.

Due to the grade gap between Porto and Arsenal, the two head coaches are also relatively stable. The three previous matches between Arsenal and Porto were not as gunpowder, but after the third match, Wenger attacked vigorously. Xiaodong was heavily hyped by the media. During the fourth game, the atmosphere before the game suddenly became tense.

When the Arsenal players arrived at the airport, thousands of Porto fans went to "pick up" and greeted the Arsenal players with warm boos and curses, as well as delicious eggs, tomatoes, and other Arsenal fans. There was a conflict.

English football hooligans are well-known in the world. Among the four giants, only Arsenal fans are a little more stable. Porto’s own security is enough, but with Wenger doing this, the security of this game will immediately become severe. The original security of the stadium Not enough, the Porto City Police Department also had to send more people to patrol around the stadium.

Between the two semi-finals, Porto played another league match. Since Porto has won the league championship, except for Gao Xiaodong's initiative to play, all the other main players rest to prepare for the final battle with Arsenal.

What Gao Xiaodong didn't expect was that Porto's bench and the second team of young people were very powerful. They even defeated the desperate Malidimo 3-2 in the away game, adding 2 system points to Gao Xiaodong.

Although the English team has never won a victory at the Dragon Stadium, the spell is only a spell after all. Porto broke the spell and won a victory in England. Who dares to say that the stronger Arsenal cannot be at the Dragon Stadium Beat Porto.

The midweek war of words worsened the relationship between the players, coaches and clubs of the two sides, but in the face of the semi-final battle of life and death, no one dared to be careless, no one dared to underestimate the opponent.

At the press conference before the game, Porto coach Ferreira said, “Porto must forget the score of the first game, forget the spell, and play this game as a final, although we only need a draw to advance. The Champions League final, but we will go all out to win."

Regarding Wenger's attack on Gao Xiaodong in the middle of the week, Ferreira said that the matter was over and he didn't want to mention it again.

Regarding the play of Porto in this game, Ferreira said firmly: "We will also defend and counterattack. Arsenal will not stop playing at the Dragon Stadium. No matter where they are, Arsenal will still be Arsenal. Porto is still Porto, we will know ourselves soberly and put ourselves in the weak position to fight our opponents."

Wenger was in a good mood at the press conference before the game. Although the war of words was not won, he was attacked and ridiculed by Mendes’ stars. However, the referee sent by FIFA for this game was Italy. Golden Whistle Rossetti, with such a harsh referee to enforce the law, Arsenal's life may be better.

Wenger told reporters that this will be a very difficult match, but again, this is also the best chance for Arsenal to reach the final in o6 years. "We played terribly at home and we lost the match o:1. But I don’t think this is the end. We are also capable of scoring goals at the Dragon Stadium. As long as we score a goal, we will stand on the same starting line as our opponents. At that time, we have a psychological advantage and we will score the first goal. Very critical..."

Finally, Professor Wenger expressed his belief that the young Arsenal will be able to break the curse and reach the final. At the same time, Wenger also believes that the winner of the other semi-final will be Barcelona. They will avenge Barcelona and win Arsenal in Rome. The first Champions League champion in history.

This is the first time that Porto has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League since 2000, and in the first round, they beat the British giants Arsenal by 1:o. This made Porto fans all over the world ecstatic, in order to witness it with their own eyes. The miracle was born. Many Porto fans flew to Porto from all over the world to watch the battle between Porto and Arsenal.

Although Arsenal lost at home, the opponent was only Porto after all. Arsenal fans did not give up. They believed that Arsenal still had a chance to complete the counterattack. A few days before the match, there were 6 consecutive Arsenal fans rushing to Porto. Help out for the gunmen.

From 3 pm onwards, the streets and alleys of Porto are full of Porto fans wearing blue and white jerseys. There are also Arsenal fans wearing red and white jerseys. However, compared to the average Porto fans of the sea, Arsenal fans are Like a blue sea with red spots in Germany.

At 6 o’clock in the evening, Monkey, Xiao Le, and Chen Qiang brought the Fatty Fans to the Dragon Stadium. Now the Fatty Fans is getting bigger and bigger. Members come from all over the world and the organization is getting tighter. The players are on QQ. A meeting is held in the group, and the monkey is the leader and head of the fan group.

Tickets are very tight for such a life-and-death battle, but Gao Xiaodong is here. Everyone has a ticket for a fan group with as many as 1,500 people. Even some fans who came from China temporarily bought the ball from the monkey. ticket.

Entering the stadium and finding their seats, the fans of the Fatty Fans Group pulled up two huge banners. One banner read: "Exterminator! Go to the final! Win the championship and dominate Europa." The other banner read: "Wen Shameless! Long live Gao Xiaodong!"

After pulling the banner, the Chinese fans gathered in twos and threes. Some watched the big screen of the stadium, some talked about the upcoming game, and some looked at the layout of the stadium. They were cheerful and morale, and they were full of defeating Arsenal and entering the final. confidence.

At 6 o'clock, the stadium's stands were almost full, and the on-site commentator began to warm up the stadium, introducing the fans to the situation related to the game.

"The second round of the life-and-death battle is still one hour away. Let us review the results of the last game. In the first round, at the Emirates Stadium, Porto broke the curse of having never won in England. 1:o A small victory over Arsenal, Gao Xiaodong passed a long pass 60 meters away, Falcao scored the ball, and now back at the Dragon Stadium, Arsenal are also facing the same spell as Porto. The English team has never Having won at the Dragon Stadium, can Arsenal break the curse like Porto this time? Let's wait and see..."

At 7 o'clock, the players from both sides came out of the locker room to warm up.

Obviously, the treatment of the players of the two teams is very different. The Porto players get violent applause, while the Arsenal players get overwhelming boos. There are also many miscellaneous thrown by Gao Xiaodong fans. Things.

At this time, the on-site commentators also got the lineups of both sides. "Arsenal's lineup today is like this: No. 1 goalkeeper Almunia, four defenders: 4o-Gibbs, 2o-Julu, 5-Toure, 3-Sania; four midfielders: 4-Fàbregas, 14-Wolcott, 17-Song, 8-Nasri; forwards 11-Roman Van Persie and 25-Adebayor

This is a 442 formation. Professor Wenger just used the wrong Diaby in the last game. In fact, Diaby is still useful in the middle. I didn't expect to be abandoned by Wenger. Is this a bit too much? On the front line, Arsenal finally made up the striker combination of Van Persie and Adebayor. This is the sharpest combination of Arsenal this season. It is just the first game after Van Persie comes back from injury. I don’t know if the Dutchman is left. A bit of skill. Defender Zhulu's wildfire line is back. If you are not afraid of Silvestre's sadness, even if he just recovered from his injury, Zhulu will be a level better than Silvestre, but the left back is still Gibson, and the left back is Eboue. Sitting on the bench, this is Arsenal’s biggest shortcoming. Last time Gibson was sifted by Porto. This time Porto will definitely fight this. Can you hold on? Wenger can only ask God for blessing. Up. "

After talking about Arsenal, the on-site commentator talked about Porto’s, “Porto’s lineup is no different from the previous game. At home, Ferreira still takes the lead. It’s a defensive counterattack and Arsenal. So, in a competitive football game, you can have no special skills, but you must not have shortcomings. Otherwise, you will be caught by your opponent for seven inches, and the last point will be broken, causing the entire line to collapse..."

In the introduction by the live commentator, the Porto and Arsenal players finished warming up and returned to the dressing room to the applause and boos of the fans.

The time is now at 7 o'clock and the stands are full of fans. After 15 minutes, the second round of the Champions League semi-final will begin. 8
