There is a dream called football

Henry suddenly shot in front of the penalty area, which had an unexpected effect. First of all, Adebayor's movement had taken all Porto's defense past, and the goalkeeper also moved over, so Henry's shot caught the goalkeeper off guard.

The ball was not very fast, but it flew close to the ground. The goalkeeper pounced, but did not hit the ball. The ball slowly rolled into the near corner of the goal.

1 to 0.

After scoring the goal, Henry was so excited that he rushed towards Wenger like a child. The Frenchman did not spare his feelings and just hugged Henry, just like he did when he scored the first goal for Arsenal.

After returning from the World Cup, fatigue and injuries have made the Frenchman's state incomparable to before. His goal statistics this season are pitiful, which is why he is so excited.

Porto, on the other hand, looked frustrated. Their defense was good, but it was a pity that they lost to a superstar like Henry.

It is easy to see from the slow motion that Henry's shot hit the blind spot of the goal. This is the star's footwork.

After conceding the goal, Porto was not confused. This is the strength of Europe's second-tier teams, and it is difficult to be completely defeated.

After a brief period of passivity, Porto began to slowly take control of the game. Because Arsenal's style of play is not high-pressing, Porto will not feel particularly heavy pressure and can at least organize an attack in the midfield.

In addition, the high-position pressing in this era has not yet been developed. The one that really promoted the high-position pressing is Barcelona.

Anderson picked up the ball in the midfield. Anderson with his pigtails looked very conspicuous. He was skillful in picking up the ball and his speed was not slow.

After passing a defensive player in the midfield, Anderson went straight into the defensive midfield, this time following Quaresma.

Quaresma is called Portugal's genius, so he is actually very bad at playing football.

Facing Gallas on the wing, Quaresma dunked the ball. Fortunately Gallas had taken precautions, otherwise he would have been thrown out.

Then Quaresma started to cycle on the spot, with fancy movements. Gallas lowered his center of gravity and stood still. At this moment, someone was tacking on the wing, and Quaresma gently pushed the ball over.

Bosingwa has already set the edge. This tactic is also used by the Portuguese national team. Bosingwa sweeps the low ball in, and Postiga grabs the point in the middle. However, this time Toure has already blocked the position in advance.

Kick the ball out of the baseline.

But Wenger was still shocked. The opponent's attack was indeed too fast, which reminded Wenger of Portuguese football in 2004.

Wenger made a gesture and asked the winger to attack whenever his opponent attacks, and his winger must follow. Cesc Fabregas must follow.

Li Qiao was heavily targeted in this game because Porto was very familiar with Li Qiao, and this familiarity became Porto's advantage at this time.

Li Qiao can only get the ball calmly during counterattacks or in his own half. Otherwise, Gonzalez will keep a close eye on Li Qiao.

Lucho Gonzalez has a fierce look, and he looks like a born bad guy. He feels like Gattuso. It is difficult for you to mess with such a person.

For Li Qiao, it is a headache to defend such a strong player. If it is in the core area of ​​Porto, then as long as Li Qiao gets the ball, the opponent will definitely not let Li Qiao turn around.

This is difficult.

If a player cannot turn around, then many of his subsequent actions will be impossible to complete, so this is also the key to defense.

"Li Qiao can't turn around." Wenger thought to himself.

He has seen the problem, but there is no way. This is something that can only be solved by the players themselves.

Rosicky's pass came to his feet again. Li Qiao caught the ball, but Gonzalez was already following him.

This feeling is uncomfortable, like the feeling of sweat-soaked clothes clinging tightly to me in summer.

Li Qiao feinted, but Gonzalez did not take the feint, and the ball was still destroyed.

After Porto made a fast break error, the ball was intercepted by Arsenal, and Arsenal began to counterattack.

The ball passed through Xiaofa and came to Rosicky's feet, but the Czech hesitated a little at this time, because Li Qiao's surrounding defense pressure was not small. If he passed the ball, Li Qiao's side might lose the ball, and everyone would run away in vain.

, and if you don’t pass the ball, you will also be a defensive player in front of you.

Unless Rosicky himself can 100% pass the ball, but passing the ball is not Rosicky's specialty. His specialty is passing and organization, so in this case, Rosicky still chose to pass the ball.

Gonzalez was with him again, and he was ready to eliminate Li Qiao again and stop Arsenal's offense.

But this time, an unexpected scene appeared, that is, Li Qiao directly hit the ball with his back heel to Rosicky.

This is very difficult, it all depends on the feel of the ball, and something like the feel of the ball cannot be explained clearly.

Even this kind of thing is brought in the mother's womb, and the range of points that can be improved through training is very limited.

In this case, Li Qiao's knock was delivered to Rosicky's feet just in time, and he passed.

And when Arsenal's attack passes through Porto's tightest midfield, everything becomes much simpler.

Rosicky pushed it to Adebayor in front, who took off and volleyed. The ball was like a cannonball. This time there was no need to make any fake moves, because there was only one Costa defending, and Pepe was still on the other side.

Defend Henry.

In this case, Adebayor's explosive shot was powerful and suppressed. Elton reached out to block it, but the ball speed was too fast. Elton instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again,

By that time, the ball had already flown into the near corner of the goal.

2 to 0.

As soon as this goal was scored, the Emirates Stadium was completely boiling. The familiar Arsenal was back. The Arsenal that the fans were familiar with at Highbury returned to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal players also gathered together to celebrate. The pressure was indeed too great. Many people even carried the curse of the Chiefs and even felt that they preferred to go to away games. This was a very bad sign, and Wenger didn't have any good ideas.

Maybe the only way is to score goals, to win, and to win again and again at the Emirates Stadium, then the so-called curse can be completely broken.

Fortunately, Arsenal looks better and better now.

The Porto coach looked helpless. The tactics he formulated were very targeted and the results were good, but...

In this game, Arsenal seems to have returned to the previous era. You must know that there was a time when Arsenal was synonymous with European technology. When everyone talks about the mercury-filled offense, they think of Arsenal instead of Barcelona.

But that kind of Arsenal seems to have disappeared for a while, and Wenger has become more pragmatic.

And now, beautiful football is back.
