Chapter 312: Touching Porcelain
Before the last round of the UEFA Champions League group match against Arsenal, the atmosphere in the entire Porto city was relaxed and enthusiastic.
The easy thing is that Porto has already qualified for the group, and no matter whether they win or lose, it will not have a substantial impact.
The enthusiasm is to play against Arsenal. Although Porto's players are mocking Arsenal for not having the Champions League, Arsenal's strength and reputation are really beyond Porto's comparison.
On the day of the game, the old city of Porto instantly turned into a city of football. The streets and alleys were full of Porto fans wearing jerseys. There were also many Arsenal fans. In addition to the gun fans from abroad, there were also many native Portuguese fans. fans.
After 8:00, the number of fans on the street gradually decreased. They either entered the stadium, or entered the bar, or went home and sat in the living room, or sat in front of the big screen outside the stadium, waiting for the start of the game.
The city gradually calmed down, but the Dragon Stadium was brightly lit and crowded with people. A long-awaited battle by the fans finally kicked off.
Porto's on-site commentator is working hard to introduce the starting lineups of the two sides to the fans:
Gentlemen and ladies fans, the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is about to begin. Today we will face off against Porto, the leader of the Portuguese Super League, and Arsenal, the giants of the Premier League. Now the players have come out, let's play Take a look at the starting rosters of both sides:
Porto is a 4312 formation, the No. 1 goalkeeper Helton, the four defenders from left to right are No. 13 Fuxilai, No. 2 Alves, No. 14 Rolando, No. 21 Sapruna, and the three midfielders are respectively It is No. 25 Fernando, No. 16 Melles, No. 6 Guarin, No. 10 Gao Xiaodong for front midfielder, No. 11 Lisandro for double forwards, and No. 12 Hulk;
As we expected before the game, captain Lu Qiao still did not start, and No. 2 Alves was wearing the captain's armband.
Let's take a look at Arsenal's starting lineup again, goalkeeper 1-Almunia; four defenders: 3-Sagna, 5-Toure, 10-Gallas, 22-Clichy; four midfielders 27-A Cloth, 17-Alexander Song, 15-De Nilson, 4-Cesc Fabregas; 25-Adebayor, 11-Van Persie
Compared with Wigan Athletic in the league, this starting lineup lacks the injured Nasri and the out-of-state Julu. Compared with the Gunners who beat Chelsea, it has more Toure and less Nasri. Compared with playing Porto at home in the first round, the Gunners lack Walcott and Nasri.
On paper, this lineup is also very strong, but Gallas and Eb are mines, I don't know when they will explode... The game has started, let's watch the game first, and then I will tell you slowly Gallas bombarded with Van Persie's story...
The stands are already full.
Except for the visiting team stands, there were banners saying Porto must win everywhere. More than 40,000 fans were applauding and singing the team anthem, shouting from time to time, Kill the gunners!
Xiao Le, Hou Zi, Chen Qiang and others brought Fatty's fan group to help.
Can we win? Fatty has been bragging before the game. A Chinese fan asked with his hands on the monkey's shoulder.
Monkey said: No problem, the Dragon Stadium has never lost to a Premier League team in 41 years.
Wang Qiang said: The Premier League has only been established for a few years, so it should be an English team.
The monkey smiled and said, It's all the same.
The Chinese fan who spoke just now said: I'm not talking about not losing, but whether I can win.
Wang Qiang stared at the field and said: There is 80% hope of winning. The gunners are old and young. The key is that the old ones are either irritable or have conflicts with their teammates. The young ones are inexperienced and play softly. Fatty scares They probably got scared a few times.
field
Gao Xiaodong didn't threaten the Arsenal people, but the Arsenal people threatened him.
At the beginning of the game, Guarin passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and the pass was a little too big. Arsenal midfielder Alexander Song saw that he had almost half the chance to touch the ball, so he decided to intimidate Gao Xiaodong and tell him to be more honest.
Song Fei shoveled over, trying to force Gao Xiaodong to give up the ball.
What the hell! Want to intimidate me! Gao Xiaodong sneered, pretending not to see, still running forward, step by step to move the ball forward, the ball passed by, but Gao Xiaodong forcibly received a shovel from Alexander Song.
Gao Xiaodong is now the treasure of the Porto fans. He dare not say that he might fall if he holds it in his hand, and he might melt if he holds it in his mouth. That's not something Song, a big black man, can just shovel and play with.
God!
foul!
Yellow card!
...
Seeing Gao Xiaodong fell to the ground and hugged his legs, it was like a pan exploded in the stands, and more than 40,000 fans roared at Song together.
Beep!
The Dutch referee Wen Ke saw it clearly, blew his whistle immediately, and showed Song a yellow card.
After Song shoveled, he was dumbfounded. He never thought that Gao Xiaodong would not dodge, because he could dodge completely. This is not such an important position to take the ball and risk injury. As for it?
Seeing the referee show him a yellow card, Song was startled and angry. I was running for the ball. He rushed towards me. Is it my fault?
Referee! It's not my fault, he hit my foot hard!
Song pulled the referee to explain.
The Dutch referee Wen Ke gave Song a contemptuous look, ignored him, turned to look at Gao Xiaodong, and said in his heart, nigger nigger, do you think labor and capital have the same IQ as you? People bump into your feet hard, holding your stinky feet?
At the beginning of the game, Gao Xiaodong didn't pretend, he stood up grinning, and said to the referee: I'm fine.
Wen Ke nodded and let the game continue.
Seeing that Gao Xiaodong was fine, the monkey was relieved, and said with some doubts: Mr. Chen, I always think Xiaodong can escape with this shovel.
Wang Qiang also said: Yes, it feels like Fatty bumped into it on purpose.
Chen Qiang had played professional football, so he could tell at a glance that Gao Xiaodong could dodge it, but what puzzled him was that Song's shovel was fierce, and it was too dangerous for Xiaodong to meet him, so it wasn't worth it.
Chen Qiang didn't know that Gao Xiaodong had super-powered equipment to protect him, so he could only say vaguely: The field is changing rapidly, who knows what Xiaodong thought at that time.
The monkey sighed and said, If it wasn't for the fierce shoveling of that kick, I really thought Xiaodong was just touching porcelain.
Wenger was also puzzled. From his eyes, of course, he couldn't fail to see that Gao Xiaodong could dodge the ball, but Song's shovel was real, and most people would at least have to be bruised.
Professor Wenger has always regarded himself as a skilled person. Apart from finding the young lady, his daily tasks are to criticize the opponent's rough play. He had nothing to say about Alexander Song's move, protesting that it was a slap in the face.
Gao Xiaodong was indeed touching porcelain, but no one would have thought that he would dare to risk himself, so no one doubted it. Unlucky for Arsenal, the main midfielder received a yellow card within three minutes of the opening, and the next game will be difficult. (to be continued)).
