Chapter 311: Sting
The shelling of Porto was quickly resolved, at least on the surface, and Ferreira had plenty of cards in midfield to play and Lucho was not required to play. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared to Porto, Arsenal's situation is not so rosy.
In the league, Arsenal have been in decent form, winning two in a row after being beaten 3-0 by Manchester City, including one against leaders Chelsea.
However, the Carabao Cup was eliminated by Championship side Burnley, which put Arsenal and Professor Arsene Wenger on the back foot.
Now that the points gap between Arsenal and Chelsea at the top of the table is as much as 10 points, it is already very difficult to win the league title, Arsenal's title hopes can only be pinned on the League Cup and FA Cup, and now the League Cup, a relatively easy trophy to compete for, has been eliminated by the weak team, and the disappointment and anger of the fans can be imagined.
Of course, the most difficult thing for Arsenal is the injury.
After beating Wigan Athletic 1-0, Arsenal added Nasri to the injury list, counting the seriously injured Walcott, Rosicky, Eduardo, and Arsenal's main players were almost injured by more than a third.
Although there are no injuries in the backline, Sylvester is useless, Zhulu is not in good shape, Song, who can play central defender, wants to play in the back, and the professor wants to remain unbeaten away from home, but he is afraid that he will continue to use Gala, who has been exposed to his family scandal and has taken off the captain's armband.
Galla said after the north London derby that Van Persie and Walcott fought, exposing the dressing room conflict to the media, which the professor could not bear, and won the captain of Galla at that time, and Galla has not appeared in the main lineup since then, if Galla is sent to play the main team in such a bad environment, no one knows what will happen.
Before the game, the professor said that it is important to win the Champions League group stage, to be able to choose a good opponent for the next knockout stage, and there is also the advantage of first away and then home, but he has no fear of winning first and second, and Arsenal can compete with any strong team in Europe without falling behind.
Arsenal finished second in their group last season and beat Milan to reach the quarter-finals, and the professor's statement was intended to put pressure on the young Gunners, but was misinterpreted by the media.
Most of the English media think that the professor is cowardly before fighting, and in the face of the Dragons Stadium, which has never been won by an English team, the professor has made a good excuse for the defeat in advance, and it is strange to play Portugal with such an attitude.
Porto manager Pacos Ferreira is not Mourinho's radical man, but the Dragons' unbeaten record against Premier League sides still gives him confidence.
Ferreira said that although Porto have qualified from the group, they still have to fight to win the group and enter the knockout round, the opponents are very strong, and Porto must win all the favorable factors if they want to go further.
After the captain Lucho bombarded the manager, after the team's status declined, Alves, who has been wearing the captain's armband in recent games, stood up and issued a call to fight to his teammates and fans, "In the last leg, we lost 2:4 away, now it's time for us to regain our dignity, I hope the fans will come to support us when the time comes." ”
The two captains of the Argentine gang are in a delicate situation, and they don't want to speak out at this time, and the team's vice president Gao Xiaodong was originally the fourth captain, but now the importance has become prominent, and he also took the initiative to speak before the game to encourage his teammates.
'Arsenal are a very strong team but the Dragons Stadium will be their graveyard and we will definitely win and I think the final score will be 2-0. ”
Although the Premier League team has never won at the Dragon Stadium, the young Gunners are furious to be despised by Porto in this way, and they have expressed their disdain for Porto on Facebook and Twitter.
Fabregas, the equally young captain, said: "History is meant to be broken, all records are empty talk in front of us because we are the Gunners!"
The little monster Adebayo also unceremoniously assisted captain Cesc Fabregas: "Sesk is right, we have to prove that historical records are bullshit, and after December, a winless will be history." ”
Colombian striker Vela, who has played four players in a row in the first leg against Porto, said: "I want to put on a one-stop goal at the Stade d'Oros and give this to the coach as a Christmas present. ”
Van Persie said: "If records are destined to be broken, why can't we be. ”
……
Arsenal's players have expressed their thoughts on Facebook and Twitter, and these have been taken online by fans to attack Porto's players and fans, which makes Gao Xiaodong very angry, but players like him can't hold press conferences at any time like a coach, Gao Xiaodong has no Facebook and Twitter, so he can only post his thoughts in his QQ space.
"We can play the Gunners, the Gunners can only play against the Champions League winners, and in the final round of the Champions League group stage, we will definitely make you happy. ”
Although QQ space can only be spread among friends, and only within the Chinese range, but fortunately, Gao Xiaodong is very famous in the Chinese circle in Europe, and there are many people who forward it, plus there are monkeys and Xiao Le with a water army behind the hype, Gao Xiaodong's words mocking the gunner quickly spread all over the Internet and entered the sight of Arsenal players.
No Champions League title has always been the deepest pain in Arsenal's heart, although the Gunners have won the Premier League title with an unbeaten record, have been in the top four of the league, almost never missed the Champions League group stage, and are still members of the European BIG13, Arsenal has always prided itself on being a giant, but without a Big Ears Cup, this giant is not so confident when he says it.
Gao Xiaodong's words about the Gunners stung everyone at Arsenal, and Professor Arsene Wenger only said Gao Xiaodong's nonsense because of his identity, while the other players were not so polite.
Fabregas said that Gao Xiaodong is a nasty embryo, and he will definitely give Gao Xiaodong a good look in the game.
Alexander. Song and Gao Xiaodong were opposed, and he said that he wanted to tie a chain around Gao Xiaodong's neck, so that he could not talk nonsense and dare not move.
Van Persie said that the score could be 2-0, so it is not known if it was Porto who scored the goal.
……
Arsenal's players attacked Gao Xiaodong in a group, and Porto's players certainly did not sit idly by, so those who had Facebook and Twitter fought back on Facebook and Twitter, and those who did not use the opportunity of reporter interviews to fight back.
After qualifying from the group, the pre-match war of words between Arsenal and Porto was more fierce than the first leg, which also reflects that Porto's status in the hearts of Arsenal players has been greatly improved, and it is no longer the down-and-out aristocrat, the crippled general, but an opponent who can threaten them.
