Chapter 401: Reach the final

Arsenal used a continuous wall-to-wall match to penetrate Porto’s dense defense and formed a shot. Although there were no goals, it was very dangerous. These two times, Porto relied on the bravery of goalkeeper Helton and Gao Xiaodong to block it out. What's next? There are ten minutes left in the game. Can Porto have such good luck every time?

This kind of fast wall-to-wall coordination is difficult to play and requires fast and accurate passing, but it is also difficult to defend after it is played, and it is also difficult to fully focus on the man. Ferreira simply allows the players to continue to shrink and become a real The iron barrel array.

However, Gao Xiaodong didn't like Ferreira's Iron Barrel Array Dafa, he thought it would be better to use wretched Dafa at this time.

As for Wenger's attack on Gao Xiaodong in the middle of the week, Gao Xiaodong didn't take it seriously. For Gao Xiaodong, he won the first place and everything else was trivial.

"Brothers! Don't get up when you lie down. Delay for a while."

"The referee will foul if you can't see it. Don't let them run so comfortable."

"Brother Meireles, you are a veteran, how can you play so rules, who can send you a certificate of spiritual civilization."

Gao Xiaodong shouted to his teammates.

Regardless of Gao Xiaodong's young age, except for captain Alves, he has the highest prestige in the team, and in terms of popularity, Alves, who is cold-faced every day, is much worse than Gao Xiaodong.

Under Gao Xiaodong's greetings, Porto not only set up an iron bucket and fouled offensive players, but also began to attack Arsenal's off-ball players, preventing Arsenal from playing smooth cooperation at all costs.

The Italian coach Rossetti was selfless. Although he was playing at Porto’s home court, he was not soft at all. In just a few minutes, he showed two yellow cards to the Porto midfielder.

The most wronged was Meireles. The offensive and defensive Titan Meireles was not good at making small moves. On the second shot, referee Rossetti caught him and received a yellow card. The habitual offender Gao Xiaodonghe Fernando has nothing to do with it.

Wall-to-wall coordination not only requires extremely high pass timing and accuracy, but also requires high levels of running players without the ball. If something goes wrong in any link, errors will occur in the coordination.

Although the Porto players received two yellow cards, the Arsenal players made consecutive mistakes and were counter-attacked by Porto, almost losing the ball.

The most important thing is that the mentality of the Arsenal players has been greatly affected. The timing of the pass is either fast or slow, the accuracy is also reduced, and the smooth delivery cooperation can no longer be played.

Seeing that the time has come to 85 minutes, time is running out, Arsenal's players have completely abandoned the wall-coordination style of play and changed to a long pass that they are not good at.

Porto's defense on the wing is also tight. Arsenal have a very difficult time going to the bottom. They can’t make a pass. Just hanging the ball into the penalty area to find Bendtna and Adebayor does not work well because the defender faces the pass. , And the offensive player passes the ball with his back.

The game time is getting less and less, and the anxious Wenger also ignores his artistic football. He puts the central defender Zhu Lu into the penalty area of ​​Porto, using three 1.9 meters tall to compete for the top, creating a chance for a second attack. .

Porto also has two 1.9-meter defenders and 1.88-meter Alves. There are six players in the penalty area. They can't cooperate with each other. It is difficult to find space for long-range shots, and they can only rely on headers.

In the 88th minute of the game, Fabregas scored the ball to the side, Walcott and Sarnia cooperated, and finally successfully hit the bottom line, he quickly sissokoho kicked the ball and passed the ball to the penalty area.

Arsenal finally got a chance to pass from the bottom line. Adebayor, Juru, and Bendtner were desperately fighting for the header. Porto’s three tall defenders each stared at one, and they were stuck. Opponent, don't let the opponent jump.

Bendtner's bounce was better, he broke free of Rolando, struggling to head the ball towards the goal.

However, Bendtner also missed the best opportunity to compete after he got rid of Rolando. The ball was put on his scalp and flew high into the sky.

Everyone's eyes were on the ball falling from the sky, desperately grabbing the spot.

Goalkeeper Helton felt that the ball was too dangerous in the penalty area, so he flew up from the goal line and fisted towards the falling ball.

At this time, Zhu Lu also came to fight for the top and knocked Helton. Both Zhu Lu and Helton fell into the small penalty area.

After the ball was hit, it just fell in front of Fabregas.

Fabregas saw the goalkeeper fall. He didn't wait for the ball to land, but he lifted the ball to the empty goal.

This frightened the Porto people and the goalkeeper Helton fell down. As long as the ball is hanging within the goal range, it will definitely be scored.

Sapruna rushed to the goal, trying to get the ball out, but Zhulu secretly pulled Sapruna's clothes from below to prevent him from jumping.

Sapruna watched the ball fly from the top of his head to the goal. It was 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!"

"Intentionally handball!"

...

The Arsenal people were surprised and happy, all ran to referee Rossetti, complaining to him Sapruna handball.

Saprunard didn't move much, but Rossetti still saw it. He immediately blew his whistle, pointed to the penalty spot, and showed Sapruna a red card.

Sapruna was dissatisfied and protested to Rossetti that Jurula had his jersey, but it was so chaotic in the penalty area, Rossetti could not see it. He ignored Sapruna’s protest and pointed to the outside of the field to let him leave. field.

Gao Xiaodong saw that Sapruna was still reluctant to leave. He went to Sapruna and said, "Go out, it's okay. We are two goals ahead. Even if they score one, the initiative is still in our hands, maybe Hull. Paid a penalty kick."

Sapruna felt a little better, turned and left the court, walked to the entrance of the mixed channel to continue watching the game.

At this moment, the 90-minute regular game time has passed, and the fourth official raised the sign and added 4 minutes of stoppage time.

The Arsenal fans in the stands finally gave out long-lost cheers and applause. They saw hope. As long as Arsenal can score a penalty and score a goal in the last four minutes, they can eliminate Porto with an away goal.

The Porto fans, who thought the overall situation had been set, were very nervous. They shouted the name of goalkeeper Helton to the stadium to encourage him to save the penalty.

Porto’s on-site commentator smiled easily, “The red dot package, if Arsenal score a penalty, the situation will become unpredictable. A lot can happen in four minutes.

In the VIP box, Mendes stood at the window, and Da Costa poked his head out of the corner that the reporter could not see, looking nervously at the stadium.

It was Fabregas who took the penalty kick. When Fabregas was running, the Porto fans booed violently to interfere with Fabregas.

Under tremendous pressure, in order to ensure the success rate, Fabregas's push angle was too difficult, and the ball hit the goal post and bounced out.

Fabregas saw the ball hit the goal post and hurriedly ran to fill the shot, but Gao Xiaodong took the first step to kick the ball out of the baseline.

"Ah! God!"

"awesome!"

"Long live the goalpost!"

"Oh! This penalty kick!"

"It's hard for Fabregas to be a big deal!"

...

The cheers, applause and sighs in the stands were mixed together, and the stadium became noisy in an instant.

Penalties were not scored, and the remaining four minutes must be scored two goals to advance. This is an almost impossible task. The young Arsenal lost their confidence and fighting spirit. Under the tenacious defense of the Portos, they played one more man The Arsenal have never been able to create a chance to score again.

Beep beep...

In the 95th minute of the game, referee Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the game. Porto defeated Arsenal 1:0 and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of 2:0.
