Losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup, the league has lost its hope of winning the championship in advance, and the Champions League, the only favored by the outside world, was upset by Porto, and Arsenal this season is once again facing the dilemma of the four empty.

Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout, staring at the Porto players celebrating wildly on the pitch, full of question marks, why did Arsenal lose to Porto, why did Arsenal have so many injuries, why did the home team not prevent Falcao's goal......

Rice saw Ferreira come over to shake Wenger's hand, but Wenger didn't seem to see it, although the loss to Porto was a little embarrassing, but this was too ungraceful, damaging the reputation of Wenger and Arsenal, he quickly pushed Wenger, "Coach." ”

Wenger saw Ferreira at this time, he slowly stood up, shook Ferreira's hand, said "congratulations" with difficulty, and turned to follow the players to the dressing room.

The Arsenal fans in the stands have not completely left, looking at the lost Arsenal players and the staggering Wenger, they are angry and emotional and sad, they were completely unexpectedly killed by Porto before the game, knowing that Porto eliminated Manchester United, they were overjoyed, thinking that Arsenal was stable in the final, but they did not expect such a result in the end.

"Congratulations to Porto on Roma! Champions League final, here we go again! Knock out the Red Devils Manchester United and Gunners Arsenal in a row, Porto has become the blackest dark horse! We don't know who the next opponent will be, we don't know if we will win the title in the end, but at this point, Porto has deserved everyone's pride......

Listening to the commentator praising Porto's players passionately, the Arsenal fans couldn't stay any longer and left quickly.

The Porto fans in the stands were reluctant to disperse for a long time and kept clapping and cheering.

Inside the stadium, Porto's players went back to the dressing room after celebrating, and some began to give live interviews to reporters.

Gao Xiaodong, who scored 9 Champions League goals in two legs, is undoubtedly the star on the field, and his limelight has completely overshadowed Fabregas, Walcott, Adebayo and others, who are much more famous than him, and naturally won the favor of all reporters.

"How did you feel when you led your team to the final?" asked an English journalist.

There is a small trap in this statement, and a group of reporters are concerned about how Gao Xiaodong answers.

After entering professional football, he became a news figure, Gao Xiaodong has been tested by reporters a lot, and has accumulated a lot of means to deal with reporters, and he can still hear such language traps.

"Thank you very much to this reporter for lifting me up, I'm not the captain of the team, I'm just a team deputy at best, and I don't agree with the upset, we beat Arsenal home and away, how can this be called an upset, Porto is a former Champions League winner, Arsenal has never won the championship, in any way, it's not an upset, we reached the final with strength and hard work. ”

Gao Xiaodong's answer was so domineering and sophisticated, so impeccable, and he also piggybacked on Arsenal with sarcasm, which made the reporters on the scene all secretly amazed, feeling that this Oriental boy was really not simple, especially the English reporters, Sun Huahai and Dongfang Zhuo, who they originally contacted, were either upright and impulsive, or naΓ―ve and withdrawn, and they were not as cunning and sleek as the 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong.

"Before playing against Arsenal, did you think about reaching the final?" a reporter looked at Gao Xiaodong and said that it was not an upset, and couldn't help but ask.

Gao Xiaodong affirmed: "I thought about it, why don't you want to, we also won one and lost one in the group stage, and we eliminated them against Manchester United, Arsenal will not be more difficult to play than Manchester United." ”

"Can you tell us why you were able to beat the stronger Arsenal?" said Portuguese journalist Anna, who finally asked a normal question.

Gao Xiaodong said: "We played more resolutely, braver, more targeted, and caught Arsenal's weaknesses, and we also had better luck than Arsenal, they have a lot of injuries. ”

"Who are you looking forward to facing in the final?" asked a Spanish journalist.

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "There is no difference, both teams are stronger than us, if I had a choice, I would rather choose Chelsea because they have no experience in winning championships." ”

"At the moment you have scored nine goals in the Champions League and are the top scorers in the charts, and Messi has scored eight goals and is in second place, do you think it is more likely that you or Messi will win the Golden Boot?" asked another Spanish journalist.

Why did he ask such a brainless question, Gao Xiaodong was stunned, but replied with a smile: "Which one do you say is 8 or 9?"

Gao Xiaodong's witty answer won the applause of all the reporters, everyone laughed, and reporter Anna's eyes became very hot when she looked at Gao Xiaodong.

"There are a lot of rumours about your transfer right now, have you decided which league to go to next season?"

A reporter asked.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Did I say that I was going to leave Portugal? Don't talk about this issue now, I just reached the final, let me be happy for a while." ”

"Before the quarterfinals, no one was optimistic that Porto would reach the final, do you think Porto can go black in the final and win the Big Ears Cup?"

A German journalist asked.

"We weren't favoured, we fought all the way to the final, and there was only one round in the final, and I felt like anything could happen. Okay, that's all for the interview, I'm going to take a shower. ”

Gao Xiaodong didn't want to fight with reporters anymore, waved his hand, pushed away the reporters, and turned back to the locker room.

The studio hall of the Dragon Stadium

Porto manager Pacos Ferreira and Arsenal head coach take part in their post-match press conference.

Ferreira has just finished his summary of the game and he said that he was very satisfied with the game, the players played their tactical plan and played 12 per cent, and the final result was perfect.

Ferreira believes that although Porto are not as famous as Arsenal, Porto fully deserved to be in the final, and they beat Arsenal in two legs, and they performed better than Arsenal.

Ferreira said that Porto will be fully prepared for the Champions League final at the end of May from now on, and he hopes to give fans around the world a wonderful final.

Faced with inexplicable excitement. Wenger was so sad that he didn't even want to come to the press conference, but in the end he bravely faced the defeat.

"Tonight was the most disappointing night, in fact we were out after Gao Xiaodong's goal. We played the whole game against a team that was solid defensively waiting for a counter-attack and I admit that Porto played better and more determined, but after fighting all the way to the semi-finals and then losing the game, I was very, very disappointed and I think the fans are looking forward to this big night and it's really sad to let down the people who support the team so much. ”

'We don't want to blame individual players, we have a couple of experienced defenders who have been out for a long time and weakened us and today Robin van Persie and Almunia were injured again...... But that's part of football. There wasn't much we could do today against a team that was solid defensively and liked to play on the counter-attack, and if we had to regret it, we should regret conceding at home, and if we hadn't conceded that goal, the result would have been completely different. ”

"We were not able to completely defend Gao Xiaodong in both rounds, let him make two goals in two rounds, this is the biggest mistake we made, in all fairness, Gao Xiaodong is a little shameless in football, but he is strong and fast, and he is as experienced as a veteran player who has played for several years, compared to it, our young people are too naΓ―ve, but I believe we have the quality and we will continue to improve. If you look at the average age of the squad, the squad is still young. To be able to reach this level, you deserve a lot of praise. ”

'We could talk all night about the mistakes we made in the game, but it doesn't change the mistakes on the pitch – you can't change the result. I would say that in the two legs we had chances and some good combinations, but we didn't take our chances and in the end – congratulations to Porto for reaching the final and good luck to them in the final. ”

After speaking, Wenger left the venue with a little loneliness and a little pride, at this moment, Wenger thought that his Zhengtai would bring him the championship after he grew up, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him would be a longer uncrowned event.
