There is a dream called football

"Oh my God, this is Porto's most threatening shot in the second half." The commentator exclaimed.

This was Gonzalez's long shot, and the ball hit the Arsenal goal post. Porto could only lament their bad luck.

In the second half, Porto's offense became more and more fierce, while Arsenal had begun to practice defense.

This is the tactical arrangement. With 2-0 in hand, Wenger must win the game at the minimum cost, and defensive counterattack is obviously the most successful.

Wenger has been the Arsenal coach for a long time, and he must also consider the requirements of modern football. For example, modern football has 50 to 60 games a year, which means that it is at least one game a week, and this is still from the perspective of the whole year.

Therefore, beautiful football like in the past is destined to not appear in every game. This is also Wenger's change.

For example, in the second half of this game, Arsenal's football can be said to be ugly, but this is very pragmatic.

In the second half, Porto seemed to be in a hurry, because in the last home game, Porto was tied by CSKA Moscow, which made them very anxious. They must score at least one point in this game, otherwise Porto may not be able to win next time.

Gotta play.

There are only 6 games in the group stage, and if Porto only has one point after two rounds, the subsequent games will be very difficult.

Although coach Ferreira also knows that hamburgers should be easier to pinch, he still does not want to put himself in danger.

If you are anxious, the game will be easy. Fortunately, Porto has high center forward Postiga.

The Portuguese is also the main center of the Portuguese national team. His judgment of high points is particularly accurate, which is the most basic requirement for a center.

After Bosingwa went down, he curled the ball into the penalty area, and Postiga once again grabbed the header before Djurou. He smashed the ball towards the goal. The ball rebounded, but the veteran Lai

Mann had already judged this, he moved a few steps ahead of time and then patted the ball down.

"It works," the Porto coach thought to himself.

In fact, as the physical fitness of Porto players declines, the possibility of penetrating in the middle is getting smaller and smaller. The more realistic tactic is to kick the ball from the wing and let the high center forward fight for the landing spot, and there may be a chance.

Wenger's mentality is getting better and better, and he seems to be confident. This goal seems to be winnable, and the first victory at the Emirates Stadium is already around the corner.

When the game reached the 77th minute, Wenger replaced Henry and Li Qiao successively, basically to call it a day, because there seemed to be no problem with the ball.

When Li Qiao came off the field, he still went to pay tribute to the Porto players, and then to their head coach. Finally, he thanked the Porto fans present. After all, it was Porto who made him perfect. Without Porto, he would not be where he is now.

There were not many Porto fans at the scene, but they all stood up and applauded Li Qiao.

Unlike the top giants, Porto fans are not sad about Li Qiao's departure. They also know their position in European football, which is to cultivate stars for others, and these departing stars will always be Porto's children.

*****

Arsenal retreated, but Porto's offense was still strong. Their offense was getting stronger and stronger.

What worries Arsenal the most is the opponent's free kick, because the team can completely press the free kick opportunity. In this way, the pressure will be greater than in positional battles. After all, in positional battles, it is possible to lose the ball and be counterattacked.

Lopez, who had just been replaced, went to take a corner kick. Porto's three previous corner kicks were not well placed. On the one hand, the Premier League team's air defense ability is still good. On the other hand, more importantly, there are too few high points in Porto's penalty area.

This time Pepe also came up.

Lopez held out three fingers and kicked the ball.

Everyone was surprised to find that Lopez's ball was not aimed at the penalty area, but for Anderson in front of the penalty area.

Could it be a direct shot?

The difficulty was too great. Anderson took a flying kick and it turned out to be a flaw. The shot turned into an anti-aircraft cannon and the ball flew into the penalty area.

But what I didn't expect was that this time the missed shot turned into a pass, and the target was a Porto player. It can be said that it was a mistake.

Quaresma, who was on the spot, stabbed directly with the instep of his outside foot, moved his weight four or two, and completed the shot in the most ingenious way.

With one move that is popular all over the world, Quaresma has made a name for himself with his outside instep all his life, and the goals he scores are basically world-famous.

This ball was no exception. When his outside instep hit the ball firmly, Wenger knew that the ball was basically hopeless.

Sure enough, the ball drew an outer arc. This kind of ball can easily bypass the goalkeeper's save, then circle back and drill into the far corner of the goal.

The ball went in!!!!

Porto celebrates.

They saw hope, the hope of scoring points in the away game, and Wenger suddenly felt a little trembling. Could it be...

It's hard to say, there are still 8 minutes left. For a football match, a lot can happen in 8 minutes.

Li Qiao couldn't sit still anymore. He stood on the sidelines watching the game. As a fan, he was much more nervous than playing on the court. Li Qiao felt like he was shaking. Porto's offense completely ignored the defense. Everyone except the goalkeeper rushed forward.

Well, of course it is very possible to score another goal.

The most dangerous moment did come, when Pepe, who had already been used as a center forward, overwhelmed the Arsenal defender in front of the goal and completed the header.

Pepe deliberately hit the ball into the far corner because Lehmann blocked the near corner, but the arc of the ball was a little wider and did not fly into the far corner.

At this moment, the Porto coach knelt down and stayed on the ground for a long time, unwilling to get up.

What a shame!!

Porto almost achieved a perfect tie, which was also Porto's last chance in this game.

At the end of the game, Arsenal defeated Porto 2-1. Not only did they get their first Champions League victory at the Emirates Stadium, they also ranked first in the standings with two wins.

After the game, Li Qiao ran over and shook hands with the Porto players one by one, and also comforted his opponents or former teammates.

What Wenger was thinking about was how to get the opponent's Gonzalez and Pepe into his own hands. That would be beautiful.

At this moment, Ferreira stretched out his hand towards Wenger, the two shook hands and said some polite words.

Wenger patted Li Qiao and said, "You know Portuguese, can you talk to that guy? I admire him very much."

Li Qiao looked at it and saw that it was Peipei. He immediately understood what was going on, so he laughed.

"sure."

Li Qiao walked towards Pepe and said to him: "Our boss admires you very much. Maybe we will become teammates in the future."

Pepe also laughed. When he came to Europe from Brazil, Portugal was his first stop. Of course his goal was the five major leagues.
