Chapter 388: Crisis and Opportunity

Both flanks were able to create a threat, and Porto's defenders had to split up the two flanks, with fewer defenders in the middle and more space, and Arsenal's technical superiority was gradually revealed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the 50th minute of the game, Walcourt took the ball on the side and ran a few steps quickly, saw Meleles and Sissokoho want to wrap up, and immediately passed the ball to Fabregas in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong followed Fabregas closely, Nasri passed back to Song under the marking of Guarin, ran to ask for the ball, Song then passed to Nasri, Nasri did not stop the ball and then gave Fabregas, Fabregas made a wall match and passed to Adebayo.

Bam Adebayo, with his back to the goal, also did not stop the ball and passed the ball directly to the open space at the edge of the penalty area.

At this time, Diaby, who was running without the ball, just arrived and volleyed the ball into the top right corner of the goal.

Arsenal's passes were so fluid that Porto had no way to interfere with the passer, so they could only passively follow the ball and watch Diaby shoot.

Porto goalkeeper Helton was also in fine form today, as he leaped to lift the ball over the crossbar.

As soon as Diaby got up, the stands were already thunderous, Arsenal fans applauded in advance, waiting for the result of the shot, seeing the ball being played, the applause was still not broken, in the eyes of Arsenal fans, even if they don't score, such a pass deserves applause.

CCTV's commentator He Hui also praised: "What is a flowing attack? This is a flowing attack, a continuous pass in the defender's crowd, the opponent can't even touch the ball, and the shot is completed, and only Arsenal and Barcelona can do so smoothly." ”

The frost on Wenger's face finally thawed, and if there were a few more such combinations, the opponent's defense would definitely collapse.

Ferreira's face turned grim, and he shouted at the court, "Shrink the defense!"

But at the moment, the Porto players on the field were nervously defending corners, and no one paid attention to what the manager shouted.

Fabregas knew that Porto's air defense was strong, and instead of hitting the ball directly into the penalty area, he played a tactical corner kick and passed the ball to Walcott, who passed it over again, and Fabregas quickly cut into the box with the ball.

The Porto players rushed out to make up for it, and Cesc Fabregas knocked the ball on his heel and passed it to Walcott.

Walcott sent a quick and fast low ball into the six-yard box.

The ball was too fast, goalkeeper Helton didn't dare to take it, and the Porto players in the small penalty area didn't dare to clear it, so they could only desperately jam the position and block the opponent's outflanking players.

At this time, the little monster Adebayo showed his strength and height, and he pushed Rolando headlong towards the goal.

At this distance, as long as the header is within the goal, it will definitely score, but Adebayo was interfered with by Rolando, and the ball actually went to the face of goalkeeper Helton.

Helton screamed as he was smashed, and his head was slammed backwards by the ball, but the ball also bounced out of the box.

Seeing that this inevitable goal actually hit the goalkeeper in the face and popped up, Arsenal fans covered their heads and sighed, it was a pity to miss such an opportunity.

The ball fell to the feet of Porto midfielder Fernando, who was so frightened that he dared to control the ball again and drove directly to Arsenal's half.

Toure had just gone to the penalty area to grab a corner, but he hadn't returned yet, leaving only Sylvestre behind.

Seeing the ball coming, Silvestre ran unhurriedly to grab the landing point, he felt that the Porto players were still far from the landing point and would not be any threat.

But before Sylvester could run to the ball, he suddenly heard the fans in the stands chanting: "Behind, back!"

Sylvester looked back and saw that Falcao and Gao Xiaodong were chasing him at high speed.

Taken aback, Sylvestre rushed to the landing point and headed the ball back to goalkeeper Almunia, who was receiving from outside the box.

However, before Sylvestre passed back to the goalkeeper, Falcao saw that Gao Xiaodong also followed, and there was a tendency to catch up, he alertly gave up chasing Sylvester, turned around and ran towards goalkeeper Almunia.

Almuña was going to wait for the ball to roll back into the box and pick it up, but he didn't dare at this time, so to be on the safe side, he kicked the ball out of the touchline and gave Porto a touchline ball.

When Gao Xiaodong ran to the sideline to send a throw-in, Arsenal's defenders had already returned, Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to hand over the ball to Hulk, who ran over, and went over to catch the ball himself, and continued to attack Arsenal's left side.

Although Nasri came back, the macho combination of Gao Xiaodong and Hulk abused Nasri and Gibson, and finally Gao Xiaodong forced an inward cut with his back against Nasri, and was shoveled from the side and back by Gibson's angry kick, ending Porto's side attack.

Referee Larsson tolerated Gibson many times, but this time Gibson tackled the recent rising star Gao Xiaodong, which had a great impact, and Larsson showed Gibson a yellow card and gave Porto a free kick close to the penalty area.

It was not a good position to shoot, Gao Xiaodong and Guarin made a combination, and passed the ball diagonally to the edge of the box to find Meleleles.

Meleles was also a good shooter from distance, he met the ball and fired it well, it was in the woodwork, but there were too many players in the box and the shot bounced off the defender.

The ball fell to Arsenal midfielder Song, who passed to Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal continued to launch a quick counter-attack.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas had the ball, the Arsenal players scattered and sprinted into Porto's half.

It was at this point that Cesc Fabregas showed his wide vision and superb footwork, and among his scurrying teammates, he quickly found Nasri in the best position rather than Walcoat, who was the fastest.

Guarin was just cooperating with Gao Xiaodong for a free kick, and he couldn't keep up with Nasri, it was Fusile who was chasing Nasri.

Nasri raced a dozen metres down the flanks and crossed to Fabregas in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong is also desperately chasing Fabregas at the moment, and with Fabregas's speed, Gao Xiaodong guarantees that he can catch up with Fabregas near his 30-meter area.

However, it is useless for Gao Xiaodong to catch up, at this moment Arsenal has four or five players in front, Fabregas has a lot of passing lines, Gao Xiaodong can keep an eye on Fabregas, and he can't prevent his passing.

Gao Xiaodong caught up with Cesc Fabregas in front of his 30-meter area, but Fabregas played the ball early, and the ball passed behind Sissokoho and continued to cut forward.

Walcott's speed was fully up, it was about 10.6 seconds per 100 meters, and Sissokoho couldn't keep up.

Sissokoho wanted to use his body to squeeze Walcot out of his center of gravity, but Walkot didn't fight against Sissokoho and walked in an arc.

Sissokoho was in too much of a hurry and leaned too hard, and after Walket arced, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Walcott wanted to cross the bottom, but seeing Sissokoho fall unexpectedly, the little tiger gave up the cross, made a sharp stop, smashed the ball and changed direction, and cut to the penalty area.

At this moment, Alves is following the little monster Adebayo closely, and there is no way to make up for the defense, and Rolando is even slower and has not yet returned to his position, so he can only watch Walcoat single-handedly take on goalkeeper Helton.

The stands were silent, everyone's nerves were tense, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, staring intently at Walcott to see whether the England tiger passed the ball to Adebayo or shot himself.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was breathtaking, but Walcott was unaware of it, and all he had on it was goalkeeper Helton.

The angle of the shot was not too big, and goalkeeper Helton had already blocked the near corner.

However, Walcott was smart enough to swing his leg backwards and make the appearance of wanting to draw the ball, but gently rubbed the ball and hoisted it behind Helton.

The lob shot was unexpected, and he quickly reached for a block, but it was too late for the ball to fly over his palm and land towards the goal behind him.

Helton didn't touch the ball, and his heart suddenly cooled half, thinking that this was over, and he must have scored.

Porto's players and fans also sighed, while some impatient Arsenal fans also applauded.

However, the ball flew over Helton's head before hitting the crossbar and bouncing off.

Even more coincidentally, it bounced behind Adebayo and Alves, who were inserted into the penalty area.

Rolando, who was a few steps slower to catch up, just in time, he wanted to kick the ball out as soon as he stopped.

Gao Xiaodong, who also chased back, shouted, "Give it to me!"

After speaking, Gao Xiaodong pushed Fabregas who wanted to stop urgently, but he followed the thrust and stopped suddenly.

Cesc Fabregas stumbled several steps and couldn't stand, and Rolando saw that Gao Xiaodong had no one around, so he quickly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong habitually turned his head and swept the front, then pulled the ball and turned around, and his body had changed from facing his own goal to facing Arsenal's goal.

Gao Xiaodong saw the sideways when he just swept the front court, turned around, and found that Falcao had bent over to start, Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate to pump his left foot flat, and gave Falcao a long pass fifty meters away.

Such a long-distance pass, Gao Xiaodong has never passed, in order to increase the suddenness, he is vigorously pumped over, whether it can be accurately passed, he is not sure, but the tiger has come out of the hole, he must try, in case it succeeds.
