Chapter 400 Dying Struggle

phone-reading,

Fifteen minutes later, the second half began.

Arsenal, one goal behind, made adjustments to Porto's contraction during the intermission. Bendtner, who was sticking the ball on the wing, was finally transferred to the center. Using Bendtner's height, he and Adebayor Together for the final blow.

It is not enough to set a high point in the penalty area. Without a cross from the wing, the high point in the middle is equal to decoration.

Wenger also made adjustments to the position of the four players in the midfield. Fabregas stood behind the two forwards, Walcott and Nasri separated on both sides, and Alexander. Song stood in front of the two central defenders and formed a diamond-shaped stance.

Porto adhered to the principle of not repairing things if they were not broken, and did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup in the first half. They continued to resolutely shrink and fight back, trying to keep the score of 1:0.

In terms of height, Porto's two central defenders are not as tall as Adebayor and Bendtner. Once Arsenal have set kicks and corner kicks, Arsenal's central defender Julu will come up, and there will be three 1.9 meters or more High point, Porto is a bit difficult to deal with high-altitude balls, so try to work hard on the wing to reduce the chance of Arsenal crossing.

Although Arsenal's offensive power is very strong, Porto's contraction is very small, just outside the 30-meter area. In such a small space, facing Porto's siege and interception, their pass and cut cooperation is difficult to play, and they often fail to pass. When it reaches three feet, it is intercepted or destroyed.

Not to mention the inability to attack, Porto's counterattack caused Arsenal a headache even more.

Porto has a tiger Falcao who keeps running around in front of the two central defenders on the road, and Hulk, a strong man who takes the ball to force Gibson on the wing at any time.

The ball arrived at the feet of the Porto players. Either a big foot drove behind the defender and let Falcao grab it, or a mid-range pass to Hulk, who made Hulk fight Gibson.

After ten minutes in the second half, Gibson received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Hulk, which made it more difficult for Arsenal to defend against Porto's counterattack. Not only did Nasri have to return to defense frequently, but the midfielder Song did not dare to grow Time left in Porto's half.

Seeing Arsenal playing so hard, the commentator of Sky Sports couldn't help saying: "Now Porto has retreated across the board. I don't know why Wenger is still sticking to the four defenders. Now they are behind by two goals, not one. Since Gibson can't play a role on both ends of the offense and defense, so let's just replace him."

Not only Martin said this, Henry, who was sitting in a hotel in London watching the game live with his Barcelona teammates, also said, "The professor is too stable, it's time to replace Gibson, the last offensive player.

"

Puyol said: "As far as Porto is a striker, two defenders are enough, and three are a waste. If we strengthen the high press, Porto can't play halftime at all."

Messi said: "The opponent is like Chelsea, and it is difficult to score goals."

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said seriously: "Everyone look carefully, if we can reach the final, the opponent in the final will be Porto."

After another ten minutes, Wenger finally couldn't take it anymore. He replaced Gibson with Eduardo, leaving the three defenders of Sagna, Julu and Toure, and let go to fight Porto in the last 30 minutes.

Ferreira couldn't hold back anymore. He replaced Guarin with Sapruna, played 5 guards, and increased the height of the penalty area.

Porto fans know that the time for the final battle has come. Whether they can go to Rome is in the last thirty minutes.

Led by the die-hard fans in the South Stand, more than 50,000 fans all stood up, clapped and sang the team song while facing the stadium.

The live commentator shouted with his almost drowned voice: "The last 30 minutes! Wenger used up the last substitution quota, they are dying, we must concentrate! Go through and enter the final, strips The road leads to Rome, and there is only one road to Rome now, and that is to defeat Arsenal! Fight, dragon!"

The coach's will was passed on to the players through substitutions, and Arsenal, who gave it a go, finally exploded with amazing attacking ability.

In the 68th minute of the game, Walcott suddenly threw away Meireles and cut in from the wing, passed the ball to Adebayor, and continued to run towards the middle.

Adebayor held Alves and passed the ball to Walcott, Walcott passed it to Fabregas, Fabregas didn't stop the ball, and directly picked the ball behind the Porto defender, Walcott Lightning shot through the gap between the defenders.

Porto has two defensive midfielders and three central defenders at the moment, but at this moment they were pierced by Arsenal's ingenious three-legged wall-hitting coordination. When Walcott volleyed, everyone did not react.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Helton was very focused. He rushed over and blocked Walcott's volley. The ball bounced off Helton's arm and was kicked out of the touchline by Alves.

Arsenal's attack frightened the Porto people. They thought they had so many players defending and their defense line was impenetrable. They didn't expect this line of defense to be penetrated so easily by their opponents.

Goalkeeper Helton yelled at his teammates in shock: "Concentrate, don't let that kid run around."

Alves also yelled at his teammates, "Hurry up when switching defenses, it's best to bring him down outside the penalty area."

Gao Xiaodong also shouted loudly: "Our defense is so dense, we can only cooperate with hitting the wall in order to penetrate, and we will make a foul if it is necessary!"

Although Walcott's shot was blocked, the Arsenal people saw the hope of scoring a goal. After throwing the ball out of bounds, they continued the attack style just now, ignoring mistakes and colliding with the wall. A late reaction to assault Porto's defense.

Emmanuel stood on the sidelines and said worriedly to Ferreira: "This is very dangerous. Don't look at them making a lot of pass mistakes, but once they cooperate successfully, they can form an excellent shooting opportunity."

Ferreira sighed and said: "I also know the danger, but we can't stop their wall-hitting cooperation, we can only continue to compress their space.

Faced with this kind of continuous one-foot or even half-foot pass and cut cooperation, it is difficult to completely stop the compression space, and at most it will reduce the opponent's success rate.

Five minutes later, Nasri cut in from the wing, Hulk followed him closely, Nasri passed the ball to Fabregas, Fabregas did not get the ball under Gao Xiaodong's marking, and directly He ran over and missed the ball and passed it to Eduardo.

Under Fernando's marking, Eduardo made a wall pass to Bendtner, and Bendtner leaned on Rolando and dialed to Eduardo's running line.

Eduardo stepped on the ball, took Fernando away, and left the ball.

When his teammates were cooperating, Nasri shook off Hulk, who was turning his attention to the ball, and followed Eduardo to jump in at high speed. Seeing that Eduardo left the ball, he followed up and shot.

It was another clever and unexpected team play, and the Arsenal man once again got a kicking opportunity in the dense crowd of Porto.

However, there are people on both sides of Nasri. As long as this line leads to the goal, Nasri has no other choice but to shoot from this channel.

The goalkeeper Helton was in a good position, blocking the line of Nasri's shot. The distance was very close. Helton didn't have time to make a save, and the ball bounced off his leg.

The ball went straight, heading towards Nasri.

Nasri was overjoyed, he raised his foot and wanted to make a follow-up shot, but just as he raised his foot, a big foot came out from a diagonal stab and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

It was Gao Xiaodong who made the clearance. When Hulk was thrown away by Nasri, Gao Xiaodong, who was very experienced and conscious, followed Nasri and cleared the ball out of the touchline in time. For mobile phone users, please browse m reading for a better reading experience. ()
