There is a dream called football

Chapter 437 A Simple Move
Quaresma catches his right foot, and with one flick, one flick with the outside instep, the signature curveball flies out.

When most people see Quaresma's outer instep, their hearts will tighten, because it probably means a goal. This time too, at least Wenger's heart has been suspended, but fortunately this time Lehmann made very sufficient preparations. The ball fell into his arms and was firmly hugged.

In the first half, the pressure on Clichy's side was relatively high. Quaresma's ball was full of firepower, and the offensive firepower on the right was very fierce.

Clichy lowered his center of gravity, he wanted to filter out Quaresma's fake moves, because Quaresma's feet are real and fake, so Clichy still has to pay attention, at least his position must be maintained, and his opponent cannot be completely passed.

Quaresma dangled around, but still couldn't pass. After dodging a small angle, Quaresma passed the ball with the outside of his right foot again, and the ball was still raised.

The speed of the ball is very fast, because the pass through the instep will be a little faster.

The ball was aimed at the back point, and Postiga was waiting there. Although Toure was taller than him, he was already behind him. Unless there was a foul, Toure would not be able to grab a seat, but Toure still interfered with Postiga's header to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, this kind of interference still worked. Postiga jumped up and did not suppress the header, and the top of the ball flew.

Postiga immediately complained to the referee that the opponent interfered with him, but such interference is impossible to blow a penalty.

Another offensive point for Porto is the Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez. Lopez was later transferred to Lyon and is also the team's ace striker.

His characteristic is flexibility, and his ability to seize opportunities in front of the penalty area is top-notch. When facing Gallas in the penalty area, Lopez made a fake shot, but after the feint, he continued to dribble the ball to the bottom line.

This shook Gala, but did not shake Gala's center of gravity, which meant that Gala could still catch up.

In the penalty area, Gallas didn't make a move. All he had to do was to block the line of Lopez's shot, which was the most important thing.

And that's what a good centre-back should do - jam the line.

Lopez did get disturbed and in the end he hit the shot too hard and it hit the side netting.

Lopez shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with himself just now. In fact, if he was faster, he might be able to flash a good shot angle, and in that case, the ball might hit the near corner.

It's a pity that Ferreira didn't score this goal, but he is satisfied with the player's performance, at least all the tactical arrangements have been played.

"Hopefully we can score one in the first half," thought Ferreira.

Wenger is still satisfied with this situation. After all, Arsenal is the leader in the standings. As long as Arsenal does not lose, then Arsenal will advance. So as long as the opponent does not score, the mentality will become more and more urgent.

"Now it depends on the quality of the counterattack."

The ball reached Li Qiao's feet. This time, Li Qiao didn't kick the ball. Instead, he paused a little and left the ball under his feet. The Uruguayan Fuxilai immediately rushed to grab the ball. Li Qiao dodged and took the opportunity to pass.

yellow card.

This time the referee saw clearly and did not hesitate.

The head coach happened to be on the sideline here, and he was very dissatisfied with Fuxilai's actions, which was a bit stupid.

He received a yellow card in the first half, and his defense is very important, which is not good for defending Li Qiao.

And Fu Xilai himself regretted it a little. Li Qiao's foot movements were just like those of South American players. He just jumped a little bigger, and Li Qiao dodged past. The movements were done in one go.

However, Fu Xilai also learned a lesson, he must not pounce on Li Qiao's defense, he can only stand still.

When Li Qiao took the ball from the right again, this time Fu Xilai stood still, but this time Li Qiao did not pass so easily.

Li Qiao really hoped that the opponent would pounce on him like last time. In that case, even if he couldn't get another yellow card, at least he would have a better chance of passing.

But at this time, Li Qiao was in a difficult situation.

Dangling back and forth, Li Qiao still had no choice but to pass the ball to Rosicky, and Fu Xilai insisted, "Don't even think about passing by my side, don't think about it."

Li Qiao ignored him, but continued to observe the situation of the game and look for the next opportunity. This is what reading games must do.

The fulcrum of Arsenal's offense is Li Qiao and Henry. If Li Qiao misfires, the ball will be handed over to Henry.

And the two opponents that Henry faced were also difficult to deal with, but they were Portugal's double internationals-Bruno Alves and Pepe.

The opponent is tough enough, and Henry's breakthrough is not easy. He can only smash the ball, protect the ball, and then seek cooperation and distribute to the wing.

However, Porto's defense was successful. Li Qiao and Henry's defense was the first point of choking, that is to say, let them slow down, even for a few seconds, so that Arsenal's offense would not be able to exert its full strength.

Of course Li Qiao had to speed up, even if he couldn't break through directly, at least pass the ball, split the ball quickly, or drive to the other side with a big foot.

The ball came to Li Qiao's feet again, this time Li Qiao directly played it back to the right defender Eboue.

And he immediately turned around and ran forward, this time Fu Xilai was dumbfounded, he couldn't touch Li Qiao without the ball, and in this case, Li Qiao's speed advantage was the most obvious.

Eboue also understood. He passed the ball forward and passed it overhead. Li Qiao and Fu Xilai were competing for speed.

Fu Xilai wanted to run to the front as much as possible, and Li Qiao also wanted to get stuck in his position and not let his opponent succeed.

Fu Xilai slowed down in the end, but Li Qiao saw this kind of defense a lot, that is, when he took the ball, he made moves, which would be very tricky and made him uncomfortable, so Li Qiao had to smash the ball at the first time.

At this moment, Fu Xilai saw the timing and shot, and Li Qiao didn't touch the ball after touching it, but dunked lightly.

This dunk was the most exquisite, and it also made Fu Xilai miss. Henry immediately moved across to meet Li Qiao, and Li Qiao also handed the ball to Henry appropriately, and then cut into the penalty area by himself.

After all this, Porto's defense was in chaos, but after a short period of confusion, Pepe quickly chased back, and Henry's ball was sent out properly. In this way, it became a duel between Li Qiao and Pepe.

As for Pepe's ability, Li Qiao knew about it, and the positioning was precise. It seemed that it was impossible to PK Pepe and complete the shot. Li Qiao squinted at the direction the ball was coming from.
