In the stands, the fans applauded and cheered, and on the sidelines, reporters also took pictures of the players.
When the players took a group photo, in the box of the stands, Mendes slowly put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Da Costa, who was sitting in the corner staring at the big screen: "Xiaodong doesn't seem to be affected by anything, and he has a smile on his face all the time. ”
Dacosta shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, this kid has always been hippie and smiling. ”
Mendes said: "Once the game starts, you will know by watching the game. ”
Da Costa sighed: "Last time with Deco and Mourinho, we dominated Europe, and even if we passed Arsenal this time, I am afraid there is no hope of reaching the top in Rome." ”
Mendes poured a glass of red wine for Da Costa and smiled: "Even if Ferreira is replaced by Mourinho this time, Porto has no hope of winning the championship, and the other two semi-final opponents, Barcelona and Chelsea are at the peak. ”
Da Costa said with a smile: "As long as you can go to Rome, it doesn't matter if you win the championship or not, it's not that you haven't won it, and when you reach the final, the value of the player has been fully demonstrated, and you don't need the championship to add it." ”
Mendes said: "Yes, the value has been played, Porto has really picked up a peerless treasure, Xiaodong is now estimated to be 45 million euros to grab." ”
Da Costa smiled: "Robinho can be worth more than 40 million, why can't Gao Xiaodong be worth 50 million, thanks to Andrews scouts, this is for Porto to pick up 50 million euros, not to mention the advertising effect." ”
Mendes smiled: "You make a big fortune, I make a small fortune." ”
Da Costa laughed: "I'm a hammer deal, you're a trickle, and every time you sponsor a transfer, you make money." ”
Mendez shook his head slightly and said, "Who knows what the future holds." ”
"As long as there is no impact of injury, it is no problem for Xiaodong to become the main force of the big five league giants, and whether he can become the core depends on his personal efforts and opportunities...... The game begins......"
Da Costa thought that Mendes was talking about Gao Xiaodong's growth, and Mendes didn't say much when he watched the game start.
The match started and it was the visiting team Arsenal who served first.
Losing the first leg, this is still a big blow to Arsenal, although they must win this game to advance, but after the game started, Arsenal's players were not in a hurry, patiently passing and cooperating, mobilizing Porto's players, looking for holes in Porto's defense.
Porto this time is still in a 451 formation, and the tactics of defensive counterattacks are still adopted, and the difference from the last game is that in this game, Porto's defense is more active and more pressing.
It used to be a siege, first to encircle and then to grab, but now it is a grab, the player actively forces the player with the ball, and the other players come to close at the same time.
Arsenal's players have good skills, and the player who grabs can easily be passed, but Porto has made careful arrangements for this, after the player who grabs is passed, he must reach out and pull it, and then follow closely to the end, until the player with the ball returns to his original position.
This kind of pressing defense is very physically demanding, but Ferreira has no way, Porto does not have the strength to play against Arsenal, but in their own home stadium, Porto can't play too ugly, Portugal is dominated by technical flow after all, and if you swing the iron bucket formation at home, the fans will not be satisfied, so they have taken this tough approach to see how long they can keep, and if they can score another one, then even if there is no physical fitness behind, it will be no problem.
Gao Xiaodong's position in this game is still the back midfield, but it can be seen from the last game that Gao Xiaodong's speed is quite fast, so Ferreira let Gao Xiaodong and Fernando and Guarin stand in a triangle, and Gao Xiaodong pushed forward five meters slightly.
The five meters before the premise does not affect Gao Xiaodong's defense, and it is more conducive to Gao Xiaodong's passing and sprinting with the ball from the two backs and central defenders.
Cesc Fabregas began to feel that the gap between Gao Xiaodong and the central defender could be exploited, and he passed the ball to that position for Van Persie to get the ball, but Van Persie was going to grab the ball, and Gao Xiaodong also arrived quickly.
Van Persie plucked the ball, Gao Xiaodong poked the ball, the ball flew to the side, and Van Persie also rolled to the side like a rolling gourd.
There were many people in the back of Porto, and the ball was immediately grabbed by Fernando.
Fernando passed the ball to Rolando, Van Persie hadn't gotten up at the moment, no one forced Rolando, Rolando quickly took a few steps forward, attracting Nasri to come over and force it, and quickly passed it to Gao Xiaodong.
The Arsenal defense line was not chaotic, Gao Xiaodong did not stick to the ball, passed the ball to Hulk, and quickly moved closer to the right side, and continued to play the shortcomings of Gibson on the left.
"Hit Gibson again!" Wenger's brain was so angry that he was blindfolded, dirty Porto, last time he fought Gibson desperately, and this time he beat Gibson, hit, I have set up heavy troops and are waiting for you.
Arsene Wenger's so-called heavy soldiers, in addition to Nasri, also have defender Song and central defender Julu.
Arsene Wenger is also ruthless on the left side, as long as the ball hits his left side, these two people move like the left side to help Gibson defend.
Porto are also a technical team, just a little less technical than Arsenal, and after a few minutes of play, they understand how to play without the coach's guidance.
When Porto distributed the ball to Hulk on the wing again, Gao Xiaodong shouted Hulk, and instead of assisting on the side, he ran back and forth, avoiding Arsenal's central players, so that Hulk could pass the ball to him.
Hulk understood, he used his strong body to protect the ball, and without waiting for Song to come up, he directly passed to the team's deputy Gao Xiaodong.
The ball rolled towards Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong didn't wait for the ball, ran over to meet the ball, and stretched out his feet as if to bring the ball to the side, but when he touched the ball, he cleverly pulled the ball back and went forward.
Gao Xiaodong didn't notice anyone approaching him, but he knew that in the midfield, his defense would definitely not be so easy, so he played a feint when receiving the ball.
Sure enough, Gao Xiaodong's feint deceived Fabregas, who had just pounced from the backfield, took two steps forward, and shot directly with his feet.
Gao Xiaodong's shot was very powerful, but it was not sudden, he just wanted to use the shot to boost morale and not let Arsenal attack too rampantly.
Almunia was very focused when Gao Xiaodong got the ball, and when he saw Gao Xiaodong hit a half-high ball, he flew to the side and pounced on the ball to the right side.
Meleleles boldly assisted Arsenal's 30-meter area when Gao Xiaodong got the ball, and saw Almunia pounce the ball to the side, and quickly ran to the saved ball to see if there was a chance to make up for it.
However, Sagna was closer, and he managed to get the ball first.
Sagna wanted to dunk past the pounced Meleleles and pass the ball to Tiger Walcott.
Sagna saw the moment and slammed the ball to the side past Meleleles, but Meleleles also reached out and pulled Sagna after being dunked.
It was useful for Sagna to pull this handful, and when Sagna adjusted his center of gravity and passed the ball to Walcott, Gao Xiaodong just arrived back to the defense, and he grabbed the ball in front of Walcott and stole the ball.
Walcott took advantage of Gao Xiaodong's unstable foothold and also pounced to grab the ball.
Gao Xiaodong smiled evilly, flicked the ball, dialed it to Fernando, and moved his body slightly, just in front of Walcott.
Gao Xiaodong's movement was not large, but at this moment, Walcott couldn't stop and just hit Gao Xiaodong's body.
"Ahh
Gao Xiaodong suddenly exerted force when Walket touched his body, knocked the skinny Walket on his back, and then continued to run towards the opponent's half of the court as if no one was in charge.
Seeing that Gao Xiaodong was still playing obscenely, Mendes was relieved, "It seems that the war of words in midweek has no effect on Xiaodong. ”
Da Costa said leisurely: "That bit of can hit that thick-skinned and black-hearted boy, let's continue to watch him yin Arsenal players." ”
