Zhang Desheng faced Ashley Cole's hand-to-hand dogfight, but still forced a turn at the risk of being cut off.

Ashley Cole was once again keenly aware of Zhang's flaws in his turn, and he immediately broke the ball with his always confident feet.

But he would never have dreamed that today he would meet someone who reacted faster and moved faster than him.

Zhang Desheng did show a broken cheek when he turned around, but at the last moment, his left foot was nervous, and he actually wanted to wear his crotch again!?

"Made, are you coming back?"

But this time Cole reacted quickly enough that he almost subconsciously blocked the ball and the ball hit his ankle, and the two of them lost control of the ball at the same time.

Kerr's close-quarters defense was already very extreme, but when the football lost control, Zhang Desheng still relied on a faster second reaction, and found the football for the first time and stretched his foot again.

At this time, Cole, who was one beat + one step slower, kicked directly into the air, and was stuck behind by Zhang Desheng in the next second, and there was no other way than to foul immediately.

But after a moment of hesitation, he didn't even have this chance.

As soon as Zhang Desheng took control of the football, he immediately lay the ball forward with his big foot, intending to rush along the wing towards Arsenal's half.

Ashley Cole didn't give up either, desperately chasing after him, and his empty run was obviously faster than Zhang Desheng at this time.

But no one expected that after Zhang Desheng had just rushed past the midfield, there was a sudden emergency stop, so that he could not shake Cole, who was desperately chasing back, out of a fork on the spot.

"Made, this can hold up, it's really fucking stable!"

Zhang Desheng also scolded in his heart, and immediately transferred the ball to Deco near the center circle.

"Hehe, I haven't forgotten the coach's tactics, today's opening game is to lure the snake out of the hole!"

Zhang Desheng didn't run with his head down just now, he had actually been observing the opponent's defensive formation, but when he found that the opponent's midfield retreated in an orderly manner, and his teammates did not have a large number of supports, of course he couldn't do it alone.

Besides, Cole's recovery is no joke, at his current speed, as long as he takes another 20 meters on the side, he will definitely be caught up by Cole again.

"This kid!"

Mourinho watched in horror on the sidelines, he was afraid that Zhang Desheng would be cut off by the backcourt just now, and he was afraid that Zhang Desheng's head would be hot and he would go deep alone.

He has seen that Arsenal are not so easy to get caught up in a succession of passing teams and fall into it once they are hot-headed.

After that, Porto began to pour the ball in the middle and back again, and they kept in mind the coach's instructions that if Arsenal did not press first today, they must not rush to attack.

Let's just stare at each other and see who is in a hurry first!

Wenger rubbed his eyes after looking at it for a while, no matter how strong Arsenal is in this kind of game, they don't dare to press it as soon as they come up, but in the face of Porto's "if you don't come, I won't go" scoundrel style, this is really not easy to do!

Arsenal also wanted to press at first, but after a few attempts, they found that the opponent not only moved the ball quickly, but even dared to suddenly pass forward and penetrate.

This is a bit dangerous, if they want to force the opponent's pass error, they have to put in enough people to press forward, but then it is easy to find a gap in the opponent's sudden forward pass.

Henry is not willing to waste his energy in the front court to press anyway, and Sylvain, Gilberto, and Vieira are not willing to waste any more energy after a few unsuccessful attempts.

And that's just the trouble when they get the ball, and when they attack with the ball, Porto obviously bring both wings back to defend, which is effectively 4-5-1.

Wenger also has to admit that although the offensive talent of this team is not as good as his own, under Mourinho's tutelage, there is really no hole in the defensive end for a while.

With the troops they are investing now, it seems that they can't take Porto, and they really have to take a little risk!

The first half lasted almost 25 minutes between the two sides, with Porto still having a narrow lead in possession, although most of the possession was in their own half.

Arsenal were no better, with several attacks on the left being well guarded, and although they had tried three shots on goal by this time, none of them were in a real position to threaten, and only one of the three shots was in the woodwork, which was comfortably denied by Baia.

In the 29th minute of the first half, with the continuous ball of the French gang on the left side, Vieira forced a turn and broke through horizontally, and another ball suddenly passed behind him was intercepted by Ferreira in front of Henry, who cut into the penalty area.

Arsene Wenger knows that if he wants to break down Porto's defence, he can't just rely on the French to break down the left flank.

They need to step up their attack on the right flank, step up Gilberto's follow-up, and as for Cole's sharp forward insertion?

Wenger thought about it for a moment, and let him stay behind to guard against the little guy who looked dangerous.

Mourinho was actually excited and a little nervous when he saw that Arsenal had been unable to break through their own defense for 30 minutes and finally had to move the formation forward.

He has confidence in the defence he has trained himself, but the problem is that Arsenal's attacking firepower is the first in all of Europe.

So when the other party really exerts its strength, can they still resist?

"Hey, aren't you going to attack it? Is it because you're afraid that I'll score? Am I really that important in Arsene Wenger's eyes? ”

Zhang Desheng saw that Arsenal had begun to invest more troops to participate in the attack, but Ashley Cole, who used to often participate in the attack, still followed him honestly, so he naturally had to disgust the other party first.

Ashley Cole was annoyed, but Zhang was right, Wenger was really worried about this man, so he didn't dare to let him participate in the attack.

But Zhang Desheng's taunt was not finished, and the three French gangs, Pires, Vieira, and Henry, finally played a wonderful combination on the left side.

Porto's airtight defence can't be kept perfectly every time.

"Watch out for his passes!"

When Mourinho saw Thierry Henry drive along the left side of the box, the first thing he looked at was Ljungberg on the other side.

He had noticed Arsenal this season before the game, and he particularly liked to let the French gang on the left break the defense, but the final fatal blow was often passed to the inconspicuous No. 8 Ljungberg on the right.

At this time, the role of a top head coach is reflected, and at this time, Valente and Costinha, who are closest to Ljungberg, both of them instantly remembered the coach's pre-game advice, and immediately noticed Ljungberg, who really stepped in diagonally and wanted to carry out a raid.

At this time, Henry attracted the defense and passed the cross ball to the back post in time, but just as Ljungberg wanted to grab the point to shoot, the other four legs also cut in one left and one right, and finally the football was kicked out of the line by Costinha in the chaos.

"Damn, I'm scared to death!"

Zhang Desheng didn't know that this ball could be defended, and the biggest credit was on the same pale Mourinho on the sidelines.

"Risk...... Dangerous! ”

But at this time, even the tense Mourinho didn't know that it was his countless instructions in advance that Porto's players could react in advance at the critical moment.

"Zhang, don't defend yourself yet!"

After Mourinho saw that the corner kick was directly confiscated by Baia, he turned around and shouted in the direction of Zhang Desheng.

He has already seen that Zhang Desheng has the idea of retreating to defend, but Arsenal's attack on the left is sharp enough, and once he leads that Cole over, it will really be broken in a row.

Zhang Desheng also reacted quickly, and he was able to contain Cole by staying in the frontcourt, which was also a sharp knife in Arsenal's attack.

If Arsenal's left side is all involved in the attack without any worries, then Porto may not be able to defend.

Porto's side continued to patiently pass the ball through the midfield when attacking with the ball.

They also tried to break forward twice, but Deco, who is the arrow in the middle, was slapped back as soon as he hit those two midfielders today.

The first 30 minutes were a couple of dangerous attacks, all on the two flanks.

This time, after Deco got the ball, he was forced by Vieira to play the ball quickly, and when he saw Zhang Desheng and Cole entangled in close quarters to ask for the ball, he quickly passed the ball again.

This time, Cole is still the first iron, and he still has to fight with Zhang Desheng in close quarters.

If you look at it from an outsider's point of view, these two people really have a bit of a punch to the king, or the meaning of kicking the king's eight balls.

At this time, whether it is the side that breaks through with the ball, or the side that wants to break the ball, there is no rule at all, and as soon as the two sides meet, there is a burst of stabbing and kicking and trampling......

And then...... I saw Zhang Desheng...... Another stumbling ball break past Ashley Cole......

"Hell! Defend yourself! ”

Wenger was taken aback this time, because unlike the previous times when Cole could chase back immediately, just now the two were in a chaotic battle, Cole stepped on the air and fell directly.

Although Zhang Desheng also looked like he was stumbling, he rolled and crawled out with the ball again.

Porto's midfielders were also in good spirits when they saw this, and immediately pulled out their legs and killed the opposite half from different directions.

At this moment, if you look at it from a bird's-eye perspective, Porto's attack is like Zhang Desheng as the center, like a peacock opening the screen, four or five arrows were shot in an instant, and the wind swept towards Arsenal's half.
