Chapter 396: The Price of Adventure

phone-reading,

Porto has a one-goal lead. They are very active in defense and have a lot of moves, but they are very steady in offense. They try to pass the safe ball as much as possible to reduce the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent after conceding the ball. 【】

Fernando took a few meters forward, saw the opponent coming to block, passed the ball to Hulk, and Hulk did the same, seeing the tight defense on the left, when the opponent came to press, he passed the ball back to Gao Xiaodong, slow down the rhythm and try to consume as much time as possible.

Time is on Porto's side. Arsenal are now attacking against the clock. When Porto's players have the ball, they press harder than Porto.

Although Arsenal only put two people in the forward line, the two full-backs Nasri and Walcott are very high, no different from the wingers. Safe possession of the ball.

Under Arsenal's fast pressing, Porto finally lost the passing line after passing back to goalkeeper Helton, who drove a big kick into the frontcourt.

Falcao struggled to compete with Toure for the top. He had a good header, but there was a big difference in height. Toure easily headed the ball to his partner Julu. Julu stopped the ball and passed it to Song. Song passed it back to take the ball. Fabregas, Fabregas did not stop the ball and directly split to Walcott, Arsenal continued to attack from the wing.

At this time, Sarnia has already quickly assisted and pulled Melles.

Cesc Fabregas split too quickly, Fernando was a step slower to defend the wing, and Walcott got the chance to single out Sissoko. 【】

Through the previous game, Walcott knew that Hisokho's speed was not slow. He did not use his speed to force him, but made a bottoming movement, and suddenly cut across behind Fernando who had just patched the edge.

Fernando was shaken, his footsteps were disturbed, and he almost fell to the ground, unable to return to the center. Hisokho had to keep running after Walcott.

Van Persie pulled wide alertly, Walcott returned the heel and passed the ball to Van Persie.

Seeing Van Persie taking the ball, Mereles gave up Sarnia and returned to the defense at high speed.

Regardless of the fact that it was too late for Mereles to return to the defense, when he flew to intercept, Van Persie had already passed the ball.

This is a ground ball. Adebayor and Walcott in the center grab this spot together. Porto's two central defenders divide to defend Adebayor and Walcott.

Alves restricted Adebayor very well,

But Walcott's speed was faster and more flexible. Rolando got stuck in the position, but Walcott got around to the front and grabbed the spot.

Walcott took an arc, half a step slow, just rubbed the ball, missed the right part, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

There was a lot of exclamation in the stands, and just over five minutes into the game, Arsenal created a very threatening shot opportunity, and the Porto fans were a little panicked.

However, after the Porto people panicked and saw Van Persie fell to the ground after passing the ball and did not get up, the Arsenal fans panicked.

Van Persie had an ankle injury last time, and a knee injury last time. The injury was just right. For this life-and-death battle, Arsenal fans were always in fear. They didn't expect that Van Persie fell down in just five minutes.

"Van Persie won't have a recurrence of his old injury. In fact, he was just bumped by Merles, who was back on defense. The action is really small. Don't get injured so quickly. Van Persie is very important to Arsenal's offense. He is Arsenal. Na's Bergkamp." Porto's on-site commentator said regretfully, but there was a hidden joy in his tone.

Wenger's heart raised his throat. He clenched his hands and stared at Van Persie to see if he could still stand up.

Nothing happened, after a while, Van Persie rubbed his knees and stood up, re-entering the game, Wenger was relieved.

The game continued, and the Arsenal, who were in desperate need of victory, played very resolutely.

After Julu's comeback, Arsenal's defense became more stable, and the two full-backs were more assured of assists.

After Van Persie came on the court, with Van Persie's flexible movement and ball handling, Adebayor no longer fought alone, and Porto put a lot of pressure on the front line.

Five minutes later, facing Porto's high pressure, Arsenal, who played well, still controlled the ball and got more and more shots.

In the 15th minute of the game, Arsenal hit Porto's two sides in a row. After opening the front of Porto's penalty area, Nasri suddenly crossed the middle.

Faced with Gao Xiaodong's defense, Cesc Fabregas passed the ball directly to Van Persie and advanced himself.

Van Persie ran out of the penalty area with the ball under the defense of Rolando and passed the ball to Adebayor.

Adebayor was in the penalty area, and Alves did not dare to foul, so he could only stick to Adebayor.

Adebayor didn't stop the ball either, and passed it directly to Fabregas.

Under the defense of Gao Xiaodong, Fabregas swung the ball back with the ball of his foot non-stop and passed it to Van Persie.

Although it was a three-on-three defense at this time, Porto's defense was stunned by Arsenal's consecutive wall-hitting cooperation. When Fabregas passed the ball to Van Persie again, Rolando was out of position and had to Risky pounce.

Van Persie is a left-footed player. Rolando did a good job. He took a risk and rushed to the left side of the center. He didn't give Van Persie a chance to shoot the ball to the left.

But Van Persie is good with his left foot and his right foot. He dunked the ball with his left foot, past Rolando, and then shot with his right foot.

Just as Van Persie smashed the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already rushed there. He didn't have time to steal it, so he just stuck his foot on the ball shot by Van Persie.

Gao Xiaodong bought the volley skill, and the timing of his kick was very good. As soon as the ball left Van Persie's feet, Gao Xiaodong kicked it back. At the same time, the force was also transmitted to Van Persie's feet.

The ball flew out and Van Persie fell to the ground again.

Because Van Persie had fallen to the ground once before, and this time was equivalent to an opponent's foot, everyone didn't care, and the ball hadn't flown too far. Players from Arsenal and Porto were eager to grab the ball, and no one To control Van Persie.

The ball was snatched by Mereles who came back. He didn't dare to be careless and kicked out of the sideline with a big kick.

The ball was cleared, and everyone realized that Van Persie was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.

Don't have an accident, don't have an accident. Wenger's heart was suspended again, and every fall of Van Persie and Julu would make his heart jump.

Everyone thought that Van Persie would stand up and continue the game as before, but this time Van Persie did not stand up, but sat on the ground and made a gesture of substitution.

Wenger's heart was suddenly chilled. He knew that it was a risk to let Van Persie play, but he had to take this risk at the moment of the life-and-death battle. Unexpectedly, Arsenal's luck was so bad. Just after playing for 15 minutes, Van Persie went again. injured.

In just an instant, Wenger turned his anger on Gao Xiaodong. When the stretcher was on the field, he yelled at Ferreira: "You are too barbaric! Every move of that Chinese man looks like he wants to kill someone."

Ferreira got angry and yelled at Wenger: "Is that interception good! Is there a problem with the movement?"

Soon, the big screen in the stadium showed the slow motion of Van Persie's injury just now. Gao Xiaodong was not wrong, it was an opponent's foot across the ball, and Van Persie, who was weak, suffered a disadvantage and caused an old injury.

Wenger sighed, and could only admit that he was unlucky, and let Bendtner play to replace the injured Van Persie.

The on-site commentator sighed: "Van Persie's role in Arsenal is irreplaceable. He not only has excellent shooting skills, but also can provide inspiration and imagination. Unfortunately, he was injured again. It cannot be said that it was a mistake for Wenger to let Van Persie play. In the life-and-death battle of the Champions League semi-finals, it would be risky to change any coach, but... this is the price of taking risks..."
