The Gunners begin the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with Arsenal at home at the Emirates Stadium set to begin their comeback in a relatively unfavourable situation. Although Arsenal is behind on aggregate, although Arsenal is indeed affected a lot by injury now, Arsenal's players are full of confidence in the home reversal to advance; Now they are the leaders of the most fierce league, they are the old giants, and they will naturally not be satisfied with just the last 16 of the Champions League!

On March 10, Arsenal hosted Porto, and 60,000 fans at the Emirates Stadium watched the game. Arsenal were without Cesc Fabregas, who had suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury, and Arshavin returned in time to take his place, with Almunia wearing the captain's armband. Arsenal still look like they have a good squad and they're still that strong.

goalkeeper Almunia; On the back line, Sagna, Campbell, Vermaelen and Clichy lined up; Song in the back, Nasri, Diaby, Arshavin in the midfield; Bendtner and Xiao Qing lead the attack.

Porto goalkeeper Helton; In defence, Ferchule, Rolando, Bruno Alves and Pereira; Mikael, Coelho, Meireles in midfield; Three strikers Barella, Falcao, Hulk.

Originally, many people thought that Porto, who had a one-goal lead on aggregate, would choose to strengthen their defense in the second leg, because they only needed to ensure that they would not be scored by Arsenal to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League; However, Porto did the opposite in this game by sending a 4-3-3 attacking line-up, and their surprise starting combination did surprise everyone from the moment they came out, including the Arsenal players.

In fact, the Gunners' players are ready for a tough battle in this game, and they also have a lot of tactical drills to break down the dense defense in their tactical training before the game. It looks like they did lose a step in the pre-match arrangement. But such an accident made Arsenal even more pleasantly surprised. Because Arsenal really prefer to play against attack.

Arsenal's attacking prowess is arguably the strongest in Europe. As for Porto, they are largely the same as Arsenal, with some strong attack and weak defense; In the Portuguese Super League, Porto is also one of the representatives of Jishuliu, and they really don't have much confidence to keep a clean goal at the Emirates Stadium. In the first leg, Porto took advantage of a series of low-level mistakes by Arsenal's goalkeeper to score two goals, and although they were somewhat lucky, they also saw the shortcomings of Arsenal's backline. So they are confident in this game, as long as they score at the Emirates Stadium, it will be a disaster for Arsenal!

When the players entered the introduction, when Xiao Qing waved to the stands, the 60,000-person Emirates Stadium resounded with crazy cheers; Xiao Qing's performance this season is really outstanding. Even in the demanding Arsenal fans, it is difficult to find shortcomings in Xiao Qing's performance; And Xiao Qing is becoming more and more strong and domineering on the field, which is indeed to a large extent to make up for the shortcomings of Arsenal, which has been criticized before.

Tens of thousands of people chanting the name of one person are quite shocking, especially the undisguised enthusiasm and madness of those fanatical fans, which is enough to make a person feel inexplicably lost; Pixie got the ticket in Xiao Qing's hand, and Xiao Qing's ticket was naturally part of the team.

Once upon a time, the Clock Stand was the symbol of Highbury Field, which is more than seventy years old. However, when Arsenal's new home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, opened in 2006, the clock stands were a thing of the past. However, Arsenal FC will bring the historic clock to the Emirates Stadium, and the bell stand will be back in the favourite for fans. Although the current clock stand has not been officially recreated, Gunners fans now know that the south stand will become the clock stand. It will be a revival of Arsenal's historical tradition. After a slump after Ramsey's serious injury, Arsenal was timely to lift the morale of the fans with this exciting news.

Although not wearing an Arsenal shirt and lifting the team's scarf like the gunners next to him. But Pixie didn't have much to hide under the thick down jacket, cheering for Xiao Qing like the fans, watching Xiao Qing wave to the stands on the pitch with a calm face, and feeling the love and support of Arsenal fans for Xiao Qing, which is definitely an exciting thing.

Xiao Qing sat on the grass and fastened his shoelaces, and quickly rushed to the frontcourt, such preparation is not superfluous in Xiao Qing's opinion, which will make Xiao Qing warm up faster, which will allow Xiao Qing to avoid some small shortcomings and mistakes as much as possible. Although Xiao Qing has achieved a good performance on the court now, he still pays attention to every little detail, because Xiao Qing wants to get better, because Xiao Qing needs to be more strict with himself.

Porto fielded an attacking combination in the game, which played into the hands of Arsenal, who will not waste this good opportunity; Now that Porto have taken the initiative to hand over the initiative of the game, there is no reason why Arsenal should not take their chances. For Arsenal, although they are now behind in the aggregate score, it is natural for them to defeat their opponents and win and advance to the quarter-finals.

Arsenal have never broken such a bottleneck in the Champions League in 30 years: they can win back the second leg at home after losing the first leg away from home, and if you include the UEFA Cup, only in the 03-04 season against Croatia's Split Hajduk did they come, but this humiliating history is bound to be broken in this game, and they don't believe in those damn records.

Arsenal may still be the youngest team in the Champions League round of 16, but it is definitely no longer one of the teams with the worst inner resistance. But a similar accident at Aaron Ramsey this year has spurred the young players to some extent, and since then, they have won three in a row while scoring a huge number of goals.

Perhaps Arsenal are the real Premier League genius this season, and the second half of the league schedule is really beneficial for them; In fact, fans understand that such a young team, a team that often starts to drop the chain in February and March, has found the feeling of a really strong team this year, and the change may be revolutionary.

Arsenal's current performance is enough to make people believe that the current Arsenal, you can't be regarded as a simple young team with unlimited passion, they have been quite calm, quite calm, which is reflected in the inner shaping of the players and the preparation before the game, on this basis, the sparks on the attack are flying, and it seems that there are strong psychological factors to rely on.

After the opening kick-off, Arsenal completely kept Porto at bay. In the seventh minute, Sagna took the ball from the right side, and Xiao Qing's header from close range at the back post was blocked by Helton. Arsenal's European No. 1 attacking ability is no joke, although Arsenal's defenders have always been a little lacking in defensive ability, but their ability to insert assists is indeed top-notch.

Coaching a team for 14 years, Arsene Wenger can be described as "brother is not just a professor, brother is still a legend"; Looking at the group of young talents under Wenger's account, I can't help but sigh "Don't be obsessed with the professor, he is just a gorgeous brother". Before Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, the Gunners' style of play was an outlier in the Premier League, which was popular at the time, and after the Frenchman took over, "flashy" became synonymous with this team.

Defenders do need to defend, but it's better to be able to plug in assists; Xiao Qing feels good now, when the team does not concede goals, Arsenal's full-backs can always make people feel surprised, Xiao Qing has not felt less support from the defenders this season, and their bottom crosses have also made Xiao Qing get a lot of good opportunities to score.

In the ninth minute of the game, Almunia kicked the ball straight to the front, Arshavin's header crossed the side, Sagna broke through the bottom and crossed, the Russian Arshavin was outflanked in the penalty area and was tackled by the tackle Meireles and then hit the goalkeeper Helton, Xiao Qing picked up the leak and stabbed the empty goal from 12 yards away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, 1-0 Arsenal led at home, and the total score is now 2-2 draw!

After the goal, Xiao Qing spread his hands, this goal came a little easy and lucky; But for Arsenal fans, this goal is too crucial, because this goal represents Arsenal can break the 32-year bad luck of not being able to reverse promotion in the Champions League; Now Arsenal and Porto are 2-2 on aggregate, and Arsenal, who have an away goal difference, have half a foot in the quarterfinals!

Whether it is a little easy to score, but Xiao Qing's mood is undoubtedly happy, for Xiao Qing this is his other goal in the Champions League, now he can help the team go further in the Champions League is enough, he can also show his ambitions here! The league championship is far from enough, Xiao Qing wants to get more.

The current Arsenal is only in the round of 16 of the Champions League, so Xiao Qing still needs to do a lot; Even beating Porto to reach the quarter-finals won't be enough, as Arsenal need to win the only missing trophy in their history.

Xiao Qing and his teammates enjoyed the frantic cheers of the home fans, and Xiao Qing's classic re-enactment of Henry's kneeling celebration also brought the joyful atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium to a new high. Although there has been a lot of frustration for fans so far this season, they are generally very happy, because now Arsenal is back competitive, and Arsenal can finally launch a strong attack on the title.

Although Pixie knew that Xiao Qing was a very good player, even a top player; Although this is the second time she has watched Xiao Qing's game live, the last time was at Stamford Bridge, where is not Xiao Qing's turf. But this time it's the Emirates Stadium, and Xiao Qing is the owner here; Xiao Qing had a wonderful performance here, he performed with ease on the pitch and scored goals; And the fans here are also very popular with Xiao Qing. Seeing Xiao Qing proud of the spring breeze here, such a sought after Xiao Qing is undoubtedly very charming. (To be continued......)
