Chapter 387 The Professor Can't Take It Anymore
Remember Genius in One Second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.
The ball was stolen, but Gao Xiaodong didn't know what was going on behind him, so he didn't dare to control the ball, so he directly passed it back to goalkeeper Helton, and pointed to the right.
Helton understood, and immediately passed the ball to Fuxilai, and continued to attack from the right.
Diaby hurried over to intercept.
Fuxilai immediately passed a direct pass to Hulk, let Hulk deal with Gibson, and used his speed to advance quickly.
Seeing Fucilai throw away Diaby and go forward along the wing, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was indescribably depressed. This Porto is a muscle, no matter where the ball is taken from, no matter whether there is space on the left side of the center , If there is any space, you must play on the right, and seize the weakness of left back Gibson.
What makes Wenger even more depressed is that he deliberately arranged for Diaby to be useless on the left, not to mention the offense, and the midfielder talked about the side attack, but the defense was not good either, and he needed frequent help in the center. , what is the use of this.
Hulk received the ball, and Gibson compressed the space and retreated. However, after reaching the semi-finals, Hulk was full of confidence and completely suppressed Gibson in terms of speed and strength. Even if Gibson compressed the space, it was useless.
Hulk carried Gibson and forced a breakthrough, but Gibson had no choice but to reach out and drag Hulk down.
Although the referee Larsson gave a loose penalty, Gibson repeatedly used foul actions to stop Hulk, and he could not ignore it. He verbally warned Gibson and gave Porto a free kick.
Gao Xiaodong didn't have many good headers to bully Arsenal, so he didn't take the free kick and let Mereles take the penalty. He ran to the middle to grab a point.
Gao Xiaodong is not tall, so Arsenal didn't focus on marking him. Unexpectedly, Merles and Gao Xiaodong cooperated. Gao Xiaodong quickly grabbed the front point, and with a header, the ball flew past the defender and flew to the back point.
Porto's left-back Hisokoho, who hadn't exerted all his strength, stepped in at some point. He nodded back and flew to the front of the penalty area. He also didn't know when Guarin, who ran from the right to the center, volleyed the ball.
Gualin's long-range shots have always been unreliable, and they sometimes come and go. Gao Xiaodong called them the Six Meridians Sword, but this time they were reliable. The ball roared and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
This is a high quality volley.
When the ball flew out, the Porto fans started cheering.
However, today's Arsenal goalkeeper seems to be on the hook,
Gao Xiaodong was saved in front to grab a point, and this time he flew bravely to save Gualin's long shot over the baseline.
Porto continued to take corner kicks, Gao Xiaodong was going to grab a point, and this corner kick let Gualin take the penalty.
Just hit the world wave, and the one-ball-theory Porto fans are praising Guarin for his enlightenment. Guarin immediately hit the face, and a high and floating arc ball was directly sent to the goalkeeper Almunia.
"Bastard!! Do you want to hang the door?" Ferreira yelled at Guarin angrily, not knowing what this guy was thinking.
There was interference in Porto's lane, and Almunia threw the ball to Sagna on the wing, and quickly launched a counterattack.
However, Walcott didn't have time to speed up, and Melelles immediately blocked him. When Walcott walked towards the middle, Guarin chased him back and forth.
Walcott had no choice but to pass the ball to Nasri, and when Nasri received the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already aggressively rushed over.
Nasri smashed the ball past Gao Xiaodong, and immediately passed it to Diaby on the wing. There was no way, Gao Xiaodong was very fast. If he continued to control the ball, Gao Xiaodong entangled him, and the ball would basically be lost.
Diaby has a strong ability to control and protect the ball, but his speed is slow. He seems to be dialing and buckling, and he can also maneuver in Marseille. However, after several times, he still circles within a radius of five meters, which cannot pose a threat to Porto's defense. , As soon as Porto's defensive players settled down, Diaby immediately fell into Porto's double-team.
This is a microcosm of Arsenal's offense in this game. Walcott's right was heavily defended, Adebayor was stared by two central defenders, and Nasri and Fabregas in the middle couldn't hold the ball. The pass still lacks a point of contact, giving it to Diaby on the left is a waste of time, and the offense is bogged down in the quagmire.
Arsenal's defense is short of major generals, mainly relying on offense. No matter how poor the offense is, the game will be difficult.
Professor Wenger was frowning on the sidelines. At this moment, he missed Arshavin who scored four goals against Liverpool in the league. If Arshavin was there, Arsenal would fly on both wings, with Cesc Fabregas in the middle. Even if it is inserted, the Porto iron barrel array may not be able to prevent it.
Even if there is no Arshavin, Rosicky will be fine. Porto's right back Fuxilai will definitely not dare to attack so arrogantly.
Even if Arshavin and Rosicky don't have it, it's fine with Van Persie, at least Fabregas can have one more passing point.
Perhaps Eduardo should be allowed to play for a try, but Eduardo's return from a broken leg is still short, and the professor is not at ease to let him play such an intense Champions League semi-final.
The professor thought a lot, but he didn't expect that Nasri in the middle is also a good player on the left.
Nasri's defense is not good, but at least he has both offense and defense with Porto, and he will not be pressed by Porto's right.
Ten minutes later, the first half ended in a painful rhythm.
Arsenal only had five poor shots in the first half, only one shot was within the goal frame, and the number of hits in Porto's penalty area was very few. Porto also had five shots, but they had more corner kicks than Arsenal and hit one. goal post.
Professor Wenger's surprise players Diaby and Nasri performed even worse. In the first half, Diaby had 0 shots, 0 threatening passes, 0 successful vertical breakthroughs, and a lot of turnovers. Nasri failed to fight in the middle and was strangled by Gao Xiaodong, Fernando and Guarin.
Martin, the commentator of Sky Sports, pointed out sharply, "The professor's invention of putting Diaby on the wing not only did not improve Arsenal's defense on the left, but also weakened the attack on the left, which is equivalent to weakening two people with one change. If No change at halftime, 0:0 is God bless."
Fifteen minutes in halftime is actually very short. Some fans are still queuing up to go to the toilet, and the game has already started.
After a bad first half, Professor Wenger finally couldn't stand Diaby's performance on the wing. He pulled Diaby back to the center to play as a defensive midfielder, and let Nasri go to the left.
This is a conventional tactic. Everyone can imagine that Porto coach Ferreira transferred Guarin to the right midfielder position just to deal with Nasri. Unexpectedly, Wenger, a seasoned man who seeks the country, would also change his formation. , As a result, the melon forest is useless.
In the second half, Nasri returned to the left flank, and Guarin came in handy to encircle Nasri with Hulk.
However, Nasri on the wing is much more threatening than in the middle. With him in Fuxilai, he dare not just plug in. Although Hulk can still crush Gibson, Nasri often singles out Fuxi. Lay's chance, you can also cut inside to help Fabregas, Arsenal finally improved on the left.
The left wing has improved, the pressure on Fabregas in the center and Walcott on the right has been reduced, and Arsenal's offense has become active in the second half. For mobile phone users, please browse m reading for a better reading experience.
