Chapter 387: The Professor Can't Take It Anymore
The ball was stealed, but Gao Xiaodong didn't know the situation behind him, so he didn't dare to control the ball, and passed directly back to goalkeeper Helton, and pointed to the right side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Helton understood and immediately passed the ball to Fusile and continued to attack from the right.
Diaby hurried over to intercept.
Fusile immediately passed a straight pass to Hulk, and asked Hulk to deal with Gibson, using his speed to quickly cut forward.
Watching Fusile shake off Diaby and move forward along the side, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was indescribably depressed, this Porto is a tendon, no matter where to get the ball, no matter whether there is a vacancy on the left side of the middle, whether there is a vacancy or not, you must play on the right side, and grasp the weakness of left-back Gibson.
What makes Wenger even more depressed is that he deliberately arranged Diaby to have no use on the left side, not to mention the attack, and the back waist still talks about side attacks, but the defense is not good, and the middle needs to be frequently assisted, what is the use.
Hulk received the ball, Gibson compressed the space and retreated, but after reaching the semifinals, Hulk was full of confidence, and he comprehensively suppressed Gibson in speed and strength, even if Gibson compressed the space, it was useless.
Hulk carried Gibson and forced a breakthrough, but Gibson had no choice but to reach out and drag Hulk down.
Although the referee Larsson gave a loose penalty scale, Gibson repeatedly stopped Hulk with foul actions, and he could not turn a blind eye, verbally warned Gibson and gave Porto a free kick.
Gao Xiaodong bullied Arsenal's headers not many, did not take this free kick, let Meleles go to the penalty, he ran to the middle to grab the point.
Gao Xiaodong is not tall, Arsenal did not focus on him, but he didn't expect Meleles and Gao Xiaodong to cooperate, Gao Xiaodong quickly grabbed the front point, rubbed the header, and the ball flew past the defender to the back point.
Porto left-back Sissokoho, who had not been able to exert his strength, did not know when he cut in, and he nodded the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and Guarin, who also ran from the right to the middle, met the ball with a volley.
Guarin's long-range shots have always been unreliable, coming and going, and he was called the six-vein divine sword by Gao Xiaodong, but this time it was reliable, and the ball whistled straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
This is a very high quality volley.
As soon as the ball flew out, the Porto fans began to cheer.
However, today's Arsenal goalkeeper is like a hanging, saving Gao Xiaodong in front of him to grab a point, and this time he bravely flew to save Guarin's long-range shot from the bottom line.
Porto continued the corner kick, Gao Xiaodong wanted to grab the point, and this corner kick was close to Guarin to take the penalty.
The Porto fans who had just hit a world wave and a goal theory were admiring Guarin for opening his mind, and Guarin immediately slapped him in the face, and a high and floating curling ball was sent directly to goalkeeper Almunia.
"Bastard!!!, do you want to hang the door?" Ferreira yelled at Guarin in anger, not knowing what the guy was thinking.
There was interference in the middle of Porto, and Almunia threw the ball to Sagna on the flank, and quickly launched a counterattack.
However, Walcott didn't have time to speed up and immediately blocked Meleles, and when Walcoat walked down the middle, Guarin came back and chased after him.
Walcott could only pass the ball to Nasri, and when Nasri received the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already fiercely pressed it.
Nasri smashed the ball past Gao Xiaodong, and immediately passed it to Diabi on the side, there was no way, Gao Xiaodong was very fast, if he continued to control the ball, Gao Xiaodong was entangled, and the ball was basically lost.
Diaby has a strong ability to control the ball and protect the ball, but he is slow, looks like he is dialing and dunking, and can also maneuver in Marseille, but after several people, he still spins around within a radius of five meters, and he can't pose a threat to Porto's defense.
This is a microcosm of Arsenal's attack in this game, Walcott's right side is heavily defended, Adebayor is targeted by two central defenders, Nasri and Cesc Fabregas in the middle can't hold the ball, and the pass is still missing a connecting point, giving Diaby on the left side is a waste of time, and the attack is mired.
The Arsenal defense lacks a major general, mainly relying on attack, and if the attack is not smooth, the game will be difficult.
Professor Arsene Wenger frowned on the sidelines, at this moment, he missed Liverpool's four-point Arshavin in the league, if Arshavin was there, Arsenal flew on both wings, and Fabregas in the middle sent forward, and the Porto iron bucket team may not be able to prevent it.
Even if there is no Arshavin and Rosicky is there, Porto's right-back Fusile will definitely not dare to attack so arrogantly.
Even if Arshavin and Rosicky don't have it, Van Persie is there, at least Cesc Fabregas can have one more passing point.
Maybe Eduardo should be given a try, but Eduardo has only a short time to return from a broken leg, and the professor is not too worried about letting him play such a fierce Champions League semi-final.
The professor thought a lot, but he didn't expect that Nasri in the middle was also a good player on the left side.
Nasri is not good defensively, but at least he has an attack and a defense with Porto, and he will not be pressed by Porto's right side.
Ten minutes later, the first half ended in a staggering rhythm.
Arsenal had just five shots on goal in the first half, only one of which was in the woodwork, and only a handful of times into the Porto penalty area, while Porto also had five shots on goal, but they had more corners than Arsenal and hit a post.
Arsene Wenger's surprise players Diaby and Nasri were even worse, with Diaby having 0 shots, 0 dangerous passes, 0 successful vertical breakaways and a lot of mistakes in the first half. Nasri failed to fight in the middle and was strangled by Gao Xiaodong, Fernando, and Guarin.
Sky Sports commentator Martin hit the nail on the head, "The professor's invention of putting Diaby on the wing not only did not improve Arsenal's defense on the left, but also weakened the attack on the left, which is equivalent to a change of tactics weakening two people, if you don't make changes at halftime, 0:0 is God forbid." ”
Fifteen minutes at half-time was actually very short, and some fans were still waiting in long lines to go to the toilet, and the game had already begun.
After a terrible first half, Professor Arsene Wenger finally couldn't stand Diaby's performance on the flanks and pulled Diaby back to the middle to play at the back and let Nasri go to the left wing.
This is a conventional tactic, everyone can think of it, Porto coach Ferreira transferred Guarin to the right midfield position, just to deal with Nasri, but I didn't expect Wenger, an old man who has made a fortune in the country, to change the formation, and as a result, Guarin has no use.
In the second half, Nasri returned to the left flank, and Guarin came in handy to encircle Nasri with Hulk.
However, Nasri on the wing is much more threatening than in the middle, and he doesn't dare to insert it casually with Fusile, although Hulk can still crush Gibson, but Nasri often has the opportunity to single out Fusile, and can also cut inside to help Fabregas, and Arsenal has finally improved on the left side.
With an improvement on the left, less pressure on Cesc Fabregas in the middle and Walcott on the right, Arsenal's attack came alive in the second half.
