At the weekend, the five major leagues and the Portuguese Super League played again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Porto and Arsenal both used plenty of substitutes, but both beat their opponents with ease.

After the game, Porto boss Pablo Ferreira and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger both spoke about the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.

Arsene Wenger began by emphasising that Porto are not underdogs, a strong opponent with a lot of Champions League experience, but said he would prefer to play against Porto rather than Manchester United.

'No one thought Porto would knock out Manchester United before the game, but football is just magical, anything is possible. ”

'Porto are certainly a better opponent than the strong and experienced defending champions Manchester United, but we don't underestimate Porto as they have won the Champions League twice and have a lot of European experience, so they will pay a price. ”

Arsene Wenger then spoke about injuries and Gao Xiaodong.

'Injuries are our biggest problem, Klich and Julu will miss the first leg of the semi-finals, Robin van Persie will miss both, centre-back Galla and striker Rosicky will be out for the season, Arshavin is not eligible to play in the Champions League, but we also have Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Eduardo and goalkeeper Almunia could also be in the game. ”

"Gao Xiaodong is the most dangerous player in the Porto team, he is strong, fast, cunning, and well-rounded, but we will not give him another chance, it is impossible for him to play as casually as he did in the group stage...... Yes, we had the opportunity to sign Gao Xiaodong last season, but in the end it didn't work out, but we have a lot of new stars who are just as good as Gao Xiaodong, Theo Walcott, Vela Vera, Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, etc., and they will have a period of youth this season. ”

Finally, Arsene Wenger expressed his confidence in reaching the final.

'Last time we knocked out Villarreal in the Champions League final, this season we knocked out Villarreal and this time I'm sure we'll be in the final again. ”

'At the beginning of the season I was worried about the fighting spirit and confidence of the team, but now they are handling it really well and the whole team is very mentally strong now. This young Arsenal team is out of the run-in period, we won't 'brake' on the more important Champions League games, as long as we are vigilant, confident and responsible, I think we can do miracles this season. ”

Ferreira's speech was as calm and steady as ever.

"At the beginning of the season we were aiming to win the league and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and now that we have achieved our goal and won the Portuguese Cup, now we hope to go one step further and win the Portuguese Cup and reach the Champions League final. ”

"We are not the favourites to advance, Arsenal is, not to mention the two Champions League titles we have won, that is in the past, not to mention the group stage, the group stage and the knockout stage are two different things, Arsenal is very young, but we are also very young, Falcao, Hulk, Fernando, Rolando, Sissokoho are only 22 years old, Gao Xiaodong is not yet 20 years old. If we want to qualify, we have to fight for the opposition and if we can score at the Emirates Stadium I think we have hope. ”

'We don't have an advantage compared to Arsenal, if we can barely say that we have never lost at home to an English team, whether it's Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, that gives us confidence, and we have a full squad and no injuries, which is another advantage. ”

……

Arsenal and Porto originally had no grievances, but in the Champions League group stage, Arsenal defeated Porto 4:2 at home in the first leg, and Gao Xiaodong, who did not admit defeat after the game, told reporters that "see you at the Dragon Stadium", and then in the second leg at the Dragon Stadium, Arsenal did a 3:0.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has an elegant personality, he didn't mention this stubble before the game, but his players are a group of young people around 20 years old, all of them are strong, in the face of such a competition, of course, to vent the breath of the last time.

The first to provoke a war of words was Arsenal's youngest captain Cesc Fabregas, who made five assists in four games after his return, making Fabregas more and more flamboyant.

Regarding Porto coach Ferreira's statement, Fabregas said unceremoniously on Facebook: "Porto is constantly showing weakness, in fact, it is making excuses for itself to set up an iron bucket formation, in fact, if there is no excuse, they will send eight or nine players to chase the ball, and if they can't grab it, they will fight back, and if they can't grab it, they will retract to defend." As long as we can control the ball, play with speed and coordination, and make the most of the width of the court, we can easily take the opponent. ”

To be able to eliminate the yellow submarine to advance to the semi-finals, the little tiger Walcott played a great role, and for the match with Porto, Walcott said on Facebook: "Although we have a lot of injuries in the backline, we never win on defense, we lose one at the back, we can score two in front, I believe that as long as we score more goals than our opponents, we can qualify for the final." ”

French genius Nasri said that the last time in the group stage, the two sides staged a goal shootout, this time will be no exception, Arsenal will beat the Porto with an attack, the score prediction, Nasri guessed that they will be 3:1 at home, 2:1 away, and 5:2 on aggregate to advance to the final.

Arsenal provoked, and Porto's youngsters certainly did not show weakness.

The first to play is Porto's youngest vice-president Gao Xiaodong.

After the Champions League eliminated the defending champion Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong's Twitter followers surged to 50,000, and he also has tens of thousands of followers on Facebook, and now he is also a prominent figure on social media, he said on his Twitter: "After the group stage, I once told Professor Wenger that I hope we will see each other in the quarterfinals, but I didn't expect Arsenal to reach the semi-finals. ”

Fernando is Gao Xiaodong's little follower, Gao Xiaodong put up the target, he immediately opened the map cannon with full firepower, "I thought Villarreal would eliminate Arsenal, but I didn't expect them to be so ineffective, and gave us this task, compared to La Liga teams, we prefer Premier League teams, we eliminated Premier League teams last time we won the championship, and this time will be no exception, Arsenal will not be better than Manchester United, Manchester United has been eliminated by us, and Arsenal is not a problem." ”

Captain Alves also unceremoniously counter-attacked Cesc Fabregas and Walcott, he told reporters: "We are two Champions League winners, Arsenal have not won a Champions League, what qualifications does a group of hairy children have to look down on us, let's see, we will keep a clean sheet on their proud attack." ”

Striker Hulk is Gao Xiaodong's good friend, the team vice and the opponent have a war of words, and the Brazilian Hulk is obliged to help, "What's so great about Arsenal, how many years have they not won the championship, do they know what it's like to win the cup, compared to the Champions League record in the last ten years, we are no worse than Arsenal at all, this time we will beat them like the group stage and press them to qualify." ”

The players are fighting war of words on TV and newspapers, fans are also fighting on the Internet, the game has not yet started, the atmosphere has been hot, it is said that the worst ticket at the Emirates Stadium has been fried to more than 200 euros, although it is not as hot as Barcelona and Chelsea, but with the popularity of Arsenal and Porto, this is already very unexpected.
