Arsenal continuously used wall-to-wave style to break through Porto's dense defense line, forming a shot. Although there was no goal, it was very dangerous. Porto relied on the courage of goalkeepers Helton and Gao Xiaodong to block it out. What about the next time? There are still ten minutes left in the game. Can Porto have such good luck every time?

This fast wall-to-wave coordination is difficult to play, requiring quick and accurate passes, but it is difficult to defend after the shot is made, and it is difficult to keep an eye on people. Ferrera simply lets the players continue to shrink and becomes a real iron barrel formation.

Gao Xiaodong was not interested in Ferreira's Iron Barrel Array Technique. He thought that it was a more despicable method at this time.

As for Wenger's attack on Gao Xiaodong in the middle of the week, Gao Xiaodong didn't take it seriously. For Gao Xiaodong, winning first is the first place, and everything else is a trivial matter.

"Brothers! Lie down and don't get busy, and delay for a while."

"The referee will foul if he can't see it, so don't let them run so comfortably."

"Brother Merleles, you are an old man. Why are you playing so rules? Who can send you a certificate of spiritual civilization?"

Gao Xiaodong shouted to his teammates.

Although Gao Xiaodong is not old, except for captain Alves, he is the most prestigious in the team. In terms of popularity, Alves, who has a cold face every day, is much worse than Gao Xiaodong.

Under Gao Xiaodong's greeting, Porto not only set up an iron barrel formation and fouled the offensive players, but also began to attack Arsenal's off-ball running players, preventing Arsenal from playing smoothly at all costs.

Italian head coach Rossetti was selfless. Although he was at Porto's home court, he was not ruthless at all. In just a few minutes, he showed two yellow cards to Porto's midfielder.

The most unfair thing is Merleles. The strong player with balanced offense and defense is not good at making small moves. The referee Rossetti caught him in the second move and received a yellow card, but the habitual offender Gao Xiaodong and Fernando have nothing to do.

The wall-to-wall coordination not only requires extremely high requirements for the timing and accuracy of passing, but also requires very high requirements for players without the ball to run. If there is any problem in any link, the cooperation will make mistakes.

Although Porto's players received two yellow cards, Arsenal players made consecutive mistakes in cooperation and were repeatedly intercepted by Porto, who almost lost the ball.

The most important thing is that the mentality of Arsenal players has been greatly affected. The timing of passing is either fast or slow, and the accuracy is also reduced. The smooth transmission and coordination can no longer be played.

It was 85 minutes long, and time was tight, Arsenal players completely gave up their wall-to-wall cooperation style and changed to long passes that they were not good at.

Porto's defense on the wing is also tight. It is very difficult for Arsenal to get off the bottom and cannot make a cross. It is not effective to just hang the ball into the penalty area to find Bentner and Adebayo, because the defensive players are facing the passing ball, while the offensive players pass the ball with their backs to the ball.

The game time is getting less and less, and Wenger, who is anxious, doesn't care about his artistic football, pushes central defender Zhu Lu to Porto's penalty area, and uses three 1.9 meters tall guys to compete for the top to create a second offensive opportunity.

Porto also has two 1.9-meter defenders and 1.88-meter-old Alves. Six people are in the penalty area and can't play any cooperation. It's difficult to find space for long shots, so they can only rely on headers.

In the 88th minute of the game, Fabregas passed the ball to the wing. Walcott and Sarnia cooperated and finally successfully hit the bottom line. He slapped Sissokoho and passed the ball to the penalty area.

Arsenal finally got a chance to make a cross from the baseline. Adebayo, Juru and Bentner fought hard to compete for the header. Porto's three tall defenders each guarded one, blocking the opponent tightly and preventing the opponent from jumping up.

Bentner's bounce was better, he broke free from Rolando and headed the ball towards the goal.

However, after getting rid of Rolando, Bentner missed the best chance to compete for the top. The ball was pushed to his scalp and flew high into the sky.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the ball falling from the sky, desperately snatching the position.

Goalkeeper Helton felt that the ball was too dangerous in the penalty area, so he jumped from the goal line and punched the ball down with both punches.

At this time, Zhu Lu also came to fight for the top and hit Helton. Zhu Lu and Helton both fell into the small penalty area.

After the ball was shot out, it just fell in front of Fabregas.

Fabregas saw the goalkeeper fall, and before he waited for the ball to fall, he lifted the ball towards the empty goal with a arch.

This scared the Porto man, goalkeeper Helton fell down, and as long as the ball was hung within the goal range, he would undoubtedly enter.

Sapruna rushed towards the goal, trying to push the ball out, but Julu secretly pulled Sapruna's clothes from below and prevented him from jumping up.

Sapruna watched the ball fly from above his head towards the goal, only a few centimeters away, but he could not touch it. In desperation, he reached out and hit the ball out of the crossbar.

"Handball!"

"Handball!"

"Intentional handball!"

...

The Arsenals were both surprised and happy, and they all ran to referee Rossetti and complained to him about Sapruna's handball.

Saprunard's movements were not large, but Rossetti still saw them. He immediately whistled, pointed to the penalty spot, and showed Saprunner a red card.

Sapruna was dissatisfied and protested to Rossetti that Juru pulled his jersey, but Rossetti could not see it in such a chaotic area. He ignored Sapruna's protest and pointed at the outside of the field and asked him to leave the field quickly.

Seeing that Sapruna was unwilling to leave, Gao Xiaodong went to Sapruna and said to Sapruna: "Go out, it's okay. Let's lead two goals. Even if they scored one, the initiative is still in our hands. Maybe Helton saved the penalty."

Sapruna felt a little better, turned around and left the court, and walked to the entrance of the mixing passage to continue watching the game.

At this moment, the 90-minute regular game time has passed, and the fourth official raised the sign and 4 minutes of stoppage time.

Arsenal fans in the stands finally gave out long-lost cheers and applause. They saw hope that as long as Arsenal can score a penalty and score another goal in the last four minutes, they can eliminate Porto with a away goal.

The fans of Porto, who thought the overall situation was decided, were very nervous. They shouted the name of goalkeeper Helton at the stadium and encouraged him to save the penalty.

Porto's live commentator smiled relaxed, "If Arsenal scored a penalty, the situation would become unpredictable, and a lot of things could happen in four minutes."

In the VIP box, Mendes stood at the window, and Dacosta also poked his head out of the corner that the reporter could not see and looked at the stadium nervously.

Fabregas took the penalty kick. When Fabregas was running, Porto fans booed violently to interfere with Fabregas.

Under tremendous pressure, in order to ensure success rate, Fabregas's push angle was too tricky, and the ball actually hit the post and bounced out.

Fabregas saw the ball hit the post and quickly ran over to make a shot, but Gao Xiaodong took the lead and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

"Ah! It's God!"

"marvelous!"

"Long live the doorpost!"

"Oh! I'm playing this penalty!"

"Fabregas is hard to take on a great task!"

...

Cheers, applause and sighs in the stands were mixed together, and the court became noisy in an instant.

If you don't score a penalty kick, you have to score two goals in the remaining four minutes to advance, which is almost impossible to complete. Arsenal's young man lost his confidence and fighting spirit. Under the tenacious defense of the Porto man, the Arsenal man who played one more never created a chance to score a goal again.

Beep beep...

In the 95th minute of the game, referee Rossetti blew the whistle to the end of the game, Porto defeated Arsenal 1:0 and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of 2:0.
Chapter completed!
