Three Hundred and Eighty Eighth Chapter Crisis and Opportunity

Both flanks can create threats, and Porto's defensive players have to divide their troops to defend the two flanks. With fewer defenders in the middle and more space, Arsenal's technical advantages are gradually reflected.

In the 50th minute of the game, Walcott took the ball from the side and ran a few steps quickly. Seeing that Melles and Sissoko were going to double-team, he immediately passed the ball to Fabregas in the middle. Fabregas The non-stop ball hit Nasri directly, and he quickly inserted into the space.

Gao Xiaodong followed Fabregas closely, and Nasri passed back to Song under Guarin's marking. Si, Fabregas made a wall pass to Adebayor.

Adebayor, with his back to the goal, also did not stop the ball, and passed the ball directly to the empty space at the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Diaby, who was running without the ball, just rushed to the horse, and volleyed the ball vigorously to the upper right corner of the goal.

Arsenal's passes were very smooth, like flowing water, and Porto had no way to interfere with the passing players. They could only passively follow the ball and watch Diaby shoot.

Porto goalkeeper Helton is also in good form today. He flew and dived and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm.

As soon as Diaby kicked his feet, the stands were already roaring with cheers. The Arsenal fans applauded ahead of time, waiting for the result of the shot. Seeing the ball being hit, the applause still continued. In the eyes of Arsenal fans, even if they didn’t score a goal , Such a pass also deserves applause.

He Hui, the commentator of CCTV, also praised: "What is a smooth attack? This is a smooth attack. A continuous kick is passed among the defensive crowd. The opponent can't even touch the ball, and the shot is completed. The offense can Only Arsenal and Barcelona can do that."

The frost on Wenger's face finally thawed. With this kind of coordination, if you play a few more times, the opponent's defense will definitely collapse.

Ferreira's face turned serious, and he shouted towards the court, "shrink the defense! Keep an eye on people!"

But at the moment, the Porto players are nervously defending corner kicks, and no one pays attention to what the coach is calling.

Fabregas knew that Porto's air defense was strong, so instead of hitting the ball directly into the penalty area, he took a tactical corner and passed the ball to Walcott, who passed it again, and Fabregas took the ball to the penalty area. The ball quickly cuts to the penalty area.

Porto's players rushed out to defend, and Fabregas heeled the ball and passed it to Walcott.

Walcott down the bottom pass to the penalty area with a sharp and fast low ball.

The ball was too fast, the goalkeeper Helton didn't dare to catch it, and the Porto players in the small penalty area didn't dare to make a clearance, so they could only desperately block their positions and block the opponent's outflanking players.

At this time, the little monster Adebayor showed his strength and height, he overwhelmed Rolando and headed towards the goal.

At this distance, as long as the header is within the range of the goal, it will undoubtedly score, but under the interference of Rolando, Adebayor actually hit the goalkeeper Helton's face.

Helton yelled when he was hit, his head was thrown back suddenly by the ball, but the ball also bounced out of the penalty area.

Seeing that the goal that was bound to be scored actually hit the goalkeeper's face and popped out, the Arsenal fans sighed in embarrassment. It is a pity to miss such an opportunity.

The ball fell to the feet of Porto's midfielder Fernando. Fernando was so frightened that he didn't dare to control the ball again, and he drove towards Arsenal's half with a big kick.

Toure just went to the penalty area to fight for a corner kick, and has not yet returned, leaving only Sylvester behind.

Seeing the ball coming, Sylvester ran to grab the landing point without any haste. He felt that Porto's players were far from the landing point and would not pose any threat.

But before Sylvester ran to the ball, he suddenly heard the fans in the stands shouting: "Back, back!"

Sylvester looked back and saw that Falcao and Gao Xiaodong were chasing him at high speed.

Sylvester was taken aback, and quickly ran with his feet, rushed to the touch point, and pushed the ball back to the goalkeeper Almunia who was responding outside the penalty area.

However, before Sylvester returned the pass to the goalkeeper, Falcao saw that Gao Xiaodong was also following, and that he was likely to catch up from behind. He alertly gave up chasing Sylvester, turned around and ran towards the goalkeeper Almunia .

Almunia was going to wait for the ball to roll back to the penalty area before picking it up, but he didn't dare at this time. To be on the safe side, he kicked the ball out of the sideline and gave Porto a sideline kick.

When Gao Xiaodong ran to the sidelines to take the throw-in, Arsenal's defenders had already returned. Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to hand the ball to Hulk who was running over. He went to catch the ball and continued to attack Arsenal's left.

Although Nasri came back, Gao Xiaodong and Hulk's macho combination abused Nasri and Gibson. In the end, Gao Xiaodong leaned against Nasri and forcibly cut inside, but was kicked from the side by Gibson angrily. A shovel from the rear ended Porto's side attack.

The referee Larsson tolerated Gibson many times, but this time Gibson shoveled the recently rising star Gao Xiaodong, which had a great impact. Larsson showed Gibson a yellow card and gave Porto a free pass close to the penalty area. ball.

This is not a good position to shoot. Gao Xiaodong and Gualin cooperated and passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area to find Merles.

Mereles is also a good long-range shooter. He faced the ball and shot furiously. The ball was pressed well and was within the range of the goal frame. However, there were too many players in the penalty area, and the kick bounced off the defender.

The ball fell to the feet of Arsenal midfielder Song, Song passed to Fabregas, and Arsenal continued to launch a quick counterattack.

When Cesc Fabregas had the ball, Arsenal's players ran in all directions towards Porto's half.

At this time, Fabregas showed his broad vision and superb footwork. Among the running teammates, he quickly found Nasri, who was in the best position, instead of Walcott, who was the fastest.

Guarin was just cooperating with Gao Xiaodong for a free kick, and he couldn't keep up with Nasri. It was Fu Xilai who was chasing Nasri.

Nasri sprinted for more than ten meters on the wing, and crossed to Fabregas' running line in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong is also desperately chasing Fabregas at this moment. With Fabregas' speed, Gao Xiaodong guarantees that he can catch up with Fabregas near his own 30-meter zone.

However, it was useless for Gao Xiaodong to catch up. At this moment, Arsenal had four or five players going forward, and Fabregas had many passing lines.

Gao Xiaodong caught up with Cesc Fabregas in front of his 30-meter zone, but Fabregas sent the ball ahead of time, and the ball passed behind Hisokho, and he continued to advance.

Walcott's speed has been fully up, which is about 10.6 seconds per 100 meters, and Hisokho can't keep up.

Hisao Kohuo wanted to use his body to squeeze Walcott out of his center of gravity, but Walcott didn't fight against Hisokoho and walked around an arc.

Hisokho was in a hurry and leaned too hard. After Walcott took the arc, he lost his body's center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Walcott originally wanted to make a bottom pass, but seeing Hisokho accidentally fall, the little tiger gave up the pass, made an emergency stop, changed the direction of the spike, and cut to the penalty area.

At this moment, Alves is following the little monster Adebayor, and there is no way to make up the defense. Rolando is even slower and has not yet returned to his position. He can only watch Walcott single out the goalkeeper Helton.

There was no sound in the stands, everyone's nerves were tense, and they didn't dare to breathe. They stared at Walcott intently, watching whether the England tiger passed the ball to Adebayor or shot himself.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was suffocating, but Walcott didn't notice it at all. He only had goalkeeper Helton in his eyes.

The angle of the shot is not too big, and the goalkeeper Helton has already blocked the close corner.

However, Walcott was smart enough to swing his legs backwards, making it look like he was about to hit the ball, but gently rubbed the ball and hung it behind Helton.

This lob shot was beyond Helton's expectation. He quickly reached out to intercept it, but it was already too late. The ball flew over his palm and fell towards the goal behind him.

Helton didn't touch the ball, and his heart suddenly turned cold. He felt that the play was over and he must have scored.

The Porto players and fans also thought that they must enter, and they all sighed, and some impatient Arsenal fans also applauded.

However, after the ball flew over Helton's head, it hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Even more coincidentally, it bounced behind Adebayor and Alves who were inserted into the penalty area.

Rolando, who was a few steps behind, caught up with him by a coincidence. As soon as he stopped the ball, he wanted to kick it out.

Gao Xiaodong who also chased after him shouted loudly, "Give it to me!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Xiaodong pushed Cesc Fabregas who wanted to stop suddenly, but he himself followed the push steadily and stopped suddenly.

Fabregas staggered for several steps but couldn't stop, but Rolando saw that there was no one around Gao Xiaodong, so he quickly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong habitually turned his head and swept the frontcourt, then pulled the ball and turned around, his body has changed from facing his own goal to facing Arsenal's goal.

When Gao Xiaodong just swept the front field, he saw the sideways, turned around, and found that Falcao had already bent over and activated. Gao Xiaodong drew his left foot flat without hesitation, and gave Falcao a kick from 50 meters away. long pass.

Gao Xiaodong has never passed such a long-distance pass. In order to increase the suddenness, he slammed it vigorously. He was not sure if he could pass it accurately, but the tiger had already come out of the hole, so he had to try it. One succeeded.
