In the stands
Gunners fans went crazy, crowded, scarves waving, and the whole stand was like waves in the Red Sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
on the pitch
The Arsenal players cheered and ran to Van Persie, everyone hugging me to celebrate the fantastic start.
Sidelines
Arsene Wenger celebrated the goal with a fist but calmed down as soon as he turned.
And assistant coach Rice hugged the substitutes who rushed out one by one.
Porto coach Ferreira was dumbfounded, he put out a defensive formation of three midfielders, wanted to defend and counterattack, and now he conceded a goal in the opening two minutes, how can he defend it? How to counterattack?
Of course, Ferreira had a plan for Arsenal to score first, but no matter how prepared he was, he couldn't imagine that the opponent would score in less than three minutes of the opening game.
Arsenal is so strong, the attack is almost like sending to death, but it has already conceded a goal, if the defense counterattacks, Arsenal will not be in a hurry at all, and if the stalemate continues, Arsenal will definitely have a greater chance of scoring than Porto.
Ferreira really had a hard time making a decision, but soon he didn't need to make a decision.
Arsenal didn't slow down at all after scoring and continued to attack Porto.
Seeing Arsenal's lightning-fast passing and cutting cooperation, Gao Xiaodong finally understood what mercury was and what it meant to be fluent.
Porto has three backs, the distance between the two lines is no more than ten meters, and the passing space for Arsenal is very small, but in such a narrow space, Arsenal can pass the ball up, Gao Xiaodong has a lot of strength, and he wants to find a physical confrontation but can't find it at all, because Arsenal almost does not carry the ball, it is a crackling pass, Gao Xiaodong can't touch the ball with Fabregas, even if he kicks down Fabregas, it is difficult to stop Fabregas from passing the ball, unless he predicts the coming ball in advance.
Gao Xiaodong was dumbfounded, it turns out that the real strong team is like this, no wonder so many international players can only sit on the bench in the giants, Gao Xiaodong suddenly felt that it might be right for him to stay in Porto, because when he arrived at the giants, with his level as a D-level professional player, it is estimated that he is also sitting on the bench.
In addition to this passing ability, the Arsenal striker's ability to run and grab points is also very powerful, just now Van Persie's ability to grab points is world-class, and compared with Van Persie, his Lexus teammate Brandi is at least one and a half grades worse.
In fact, Gao Xiaodong also overestimated the technical ability of the giants, in fact, in terms of technology alone, not to mention the strength, Arsenal's technical level is second only to Barcelona among the giants, and it is one of the best in the world, and the technical ability of other giants is not strong compared to Porto.
Arsenal is a youth guard, the characteristics of the youth army is that they like to play downwind, they don't like to play against the wind, and after they play well, any team can win, and if they don't play well, any team can lose.
Now Arsenal have played smoothly, scoring in the opening game, giving the Gunners more confidence and confidence, passing faster and more imaginatively, like heel passes, continuous wall-hitting passes, aerial relays, all kicking out.
Porto was suppressed only to parry, not to fight back, if it had just come to the stadium, I thought it was Arsenal behind.
The monkey in the stands scratched his head and said to Chen Qiang: "It's bad, Porto has to lose." ”
Chen Qiang smiled bitterly: "It looks like it really can't be beaten." ”
Huang An said: "There is a gap between the Portuguese Super League giants and the Premier League giants. ”
Zhang Liang stopped the camera shooting wildly and said: "If you can carry it until the end of the first half, there is still hope for this game, if you lose the ball again, it will basically be no play." ”
Fans can see that if they lose the ball again, they will lose, and Porto's players and coaches will definitely be able to see it, but they can't help it, the opponent's state is too good, Porto can't even touch the ball, not to mention defense, can only shrink and shrink, compress Arsenal's space, and increase the error rate of Arsenal's passes.
Arsenal's passing was still not comparable to Barcelona's, and after the space was small enough to a certain extent, their pass errors began to increase, and Porto finally had a chance to counter-attack.
In the 8th minute, Gao Xiaodong intercepted Arsenal's through ball at the edge of the penalty area and passed the ball to Meleles, and then Porto also showed the skills of the European Latin school, they passed three times and two passes, broke through the Arsenal siege, and passed the ball to the feet of Risandro, who shot directly from 25 meters, but the ball hit Gallas's leg and bounced back.
The ball flew in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong took the ball forward, ready to shoot from a distance, but Fabregas followed closely by Gao Xiaodong's side, Gao Xiaodong did not dare to swing his legs sharply, for fear of being stolen by Fabregas, so he had to pass the ball to Hulk, Hulkla crossed, and the ball was blocked by Sania out of the bottom line.
Porto were awarded the first corner.
Lucho crossed the ball into the box, Toure headed it off the line, Gao Xiaodong headed the ball into the edge of the six-yard box, Hulk squeezed past the defender and fired past Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia from six yards, but Klich cleared the ball in front of the goal line.
It was a great opportunity to equalise and Porto could play on the counter-attack as they had set up before the game, but if they missed it, Porto would not be able to defend with confidence.
In the 13th minute of the game, Arsenal quickly counterattacked, Walcourt rushed from the side to Fusile, Fusilele was helpless in the face of the little tiger's speed of 10.3 seconds, and was crossed to the bottom line after being broken by Walcott.
In the face of this dangerous cross, Alves cleared the ball with a decisive header and headed the ball off the line.
Van Persie took a corner, and the 1.93-meter-tall monster Adebayor jumped high, crashed past Rolando and smashed the ball into Porto's goal.
After the goal, Adebayor was extremely frenzied, running wildly towards the stands and making a long-distance sliding knee.
There was a tsunami in the stands, and the stadium was once again a sea of joy.
The Porto were stunned as they arrived in London with the hope of breaking the winless record, but they did not expect that after only 13 minutes of play, they had all but lost their hopes of victory.
Ferreira was so angry that he threw the water bottle on the ground, and stomped on it a few times, he could accept that the opponent tore apart Porto's defense to score, but he couldn't accept being scored by Arsenal's corner kick, you know, Arsenal, a team that is good at foot work, has always been bullied by other teams with headers in the Premier League, but I didn't expect to be able to bully Porto with a header now.
After Adebayo's goal, Gao Xiaodong had the idea of buying a lucky point, but Gao Xiaodong immediately dispelled this idea.
Special points are too precious, and it is too cost-effective to use them in a group stage, even if they lose this game, Porto also has hope of qualifying, and Porto will not be able to compete with Arsenal for the first place in the group, so Gao Xiaodong feels that it is better to use it when it is more important.
