Chapter 355 Dragon Battle

During the intermission, the players were drinking water and chatting in the locker room.

Functional drinks and pure water are chosen according to the personal preferences of the players. Football and basketball are different. Many players are still used to following the tradition and drinking pure water.

In fact, although football and basketball are both quite exhausting sports, because of the difference in the rules of the two sports in terms of competition and rest, basketball players will drink energy drinks during the rest of the game.

Basketball is not like football, the transition between offense and defense is extremely fast, and football can also take a break during the game and walk slowly.

So basketball has more breaks than football and can be suspended at any time.

And football games can only wait until they are replaced, or there is a 15-minute break at halftime.

However, because the history of football games is much older than that of basketball, players still like to drink pure water in habit.

A small number of players will choose to drink energy drinks to replenish their physical strength. On this point, Shao Bo did not make strict regulations.

At present, neither team has scored a goal, which is actually very unfavorable to Arsenal. If they miss this game, they will have to pay more attention not to concede a goal at home.

Therefore, Arsenal's task in the second half was nothing but scoring goals!

"Guys," Shao Bo said when the players had almost rested and were about to leave the locker room for the second half of the game.

At this time, it is just that the players will not forget what Shao Bo said because of the rest.

"Let's not talk nonsense, just remember one thing. We will be able to enter the final after defeating Porto. And as long as we win this game, we will be safe in the end."

Shao Bo really didn't say much at this time. Anyway, the players also know the importance of the game. Without Shao Bo's excessive supervision, the players themselves know how to work hard.

This time Arsenal only need to score away goals, and when they return to home, their advantage will only be greater.

And because the last time Arsenal reached the Champions League final was at the end of the last century, most players in the club today have no experience in the Champions League final.

There are only a few players such as Vieira and Bergkamp who have participated in the last Champions League final.

They are naturally full of desire for this event that symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs.

That's right, by defeating Porto, Arsenal will be able to reach the final. Compared with Arsenal, what is Porto?
This is not arrogance and contempt for the enemy, but the strong confidence that Arsenal players have when facing Porto with the accumulated winning percentage as the backing.

Thinking of the scene where after defeating Porto, they set foot on the highest stage in Europe, fought again for the silver-white Big Ears Cup, and finally even won the championship...

Many players seem to have flames of desire in their eyes, and the flames are burning blazingly.

Looking at the fiery eyes and strong fighting spirit of the players, Shao Bo nodded in satisfaction, opened the door of the locker room, and walked out first.

The second half of the game begins!
The Porto players obviously felt something was wrong when they were in the player channel. The current mental state of the Arsenal players is very different from that in the first half.

Even the Porto players can feel the high fighting spirit.

Like a hot wind, in this hot and humid Portugal, Porto players who have long been accustomed to the local climate still feel a little uncomfortable.

Arsenal played very conservatively in the first half, after all, Shao Bo didn't want Arsenal to lose the ball first.

However, regardless of other things now, let's break through the gate of Porto first!

In order to set foot on the land of the finals, instead of sitting in the stands or continuing to be an ordinary audience on the TV, so that I can no longer be an admirer this year.

Arsenal must beat Porto!

Who put them in front of Arsenal's path to the Champions League final?It's the same for other clubs!
In the second half, Arsenal didn't just let Porto's players feel the fiery mental state. More importantly, their offense was more efficient, faster, more concise, and more threatening.

Facing Porto's defensive system like Mourinho's, if Arsenal want to take the continuous path of slowly grinding Porto to death, it will definitely not work.

On the contrary, Porto must be very happy to grind this game with Arsenal to the end of the game-anyway, there is another game, this is over, and they will not have the pressure to lose away goals.

As for the pressure of the away game, that is another matter.

Having played European games for so many years, Porto's players also won the UEFA Cup last season. They also defeated Bayern Munich this time, and they are no longer afraid of away pressure.

Giants, how many clubs are more "rich" than Bayern Munich?
The capacity of Arsenal's Highbury is not as good as that of the Dragon Stadium. Their away game is probably one of the least threatening stadiums among the famous clubs in Europe.

In contrast, the away goal, which is still extremely foregone, is more important.

However, Porto's precautions are not easy to use. Arsenal finally scored a goal, a precious away goal!

Two defensive midfielders and a defensive midfielder, Mourinho has put such a big defense on the defense, but he still hasn't kept their door.

That is to say, Mourinho has not yet perfected his iron bucket front bus formation, otherwise, this goal would not have come out so quickly.

According to Mourinho's arrangement during the intermission, he estimated that Shao Bo and the others would let Arsenal stabilize their defense first, and then come out to attack after a while.

As a result, it was this miscalculation that caused Porto to pay a heavy price!

Porto kicked off at the referee's whistle in the second half and launched an attack.It's just that the cautious Dellei and Carlos Alberto did not advance quickly under Mourinho's instructions.

Mourinho was not idle during the half-time break. He arranged a lot of tactical arrangements for the players during this period.

Based on Arsenal's performance in the first half, it is actually a very correct approach to make targeted arrangements.

But sometimes the game needs more passion and a good state enough to guarantee victory.

Which of these is correct, no one can say.All need to be analyzed in detail based on the situation at the time of the game and the state of the players.

It's just that in this game, Mourinho chose to arrange tactics, while Shao Bo chose to let the players rest better, so as not to think too much and memorize too much, which would affect the performance of the second half.

Who is correct will be known after the results of the competition come out.

The Porto side chose to advance slowly, passing the ball from the front court to the back court, and then slowly passed it back.

This is not enough for the referee to pronounce Porto a passive game, disqualify them from the game or issue a penalty.

It's just that such a waste of time is of no benefit to Arsenal.

If you don't grab the ball and fight for the initiative, is that still an Arsenal player?Is that still an Arsenal player who wants to win and qualify for the final?
Just when Costinia received a cross pass from Maniche, he was horrified to find that three Arsenal players suddenly appeared in front of him and rushed towards him.

They are all professional players and have played top games for so many years. Costinha is not scared and overwhelmed by three players rushing towards him.

It's just that, when he turned around just now, the Arsenal players were still so far away, how could they all run to him as soon as he turned around!
It's like walking well and being patted on the shoulder suddenly, anyone will be stunned for a while.

That's the case with Costinia.

However, after years of professional training, he almost instinctively chose to pass the ball away without giving Arsenal any chance.

The target of the pass is also very cleverly selected, and the way of passing the ball is also very good.

A lob, Costinha passes to Deco.

Porto still has the initiative, and Costinia has not made any "pass back" that fans criticized afterwards.

However, this is actually a way to shift pressure and responsibility to teammates.

He, Costinia, couldn't pass this level alone, and he was lucky enough to pass the ball to his teammates, so he didn't make a mistake.

It's a pity that Costinha was doomed to disappointment. Just behind Deco, Vieira rushed over and headed the ball away first.

The ball was sent to Ashley Cole.

Trotted two steps, caught up with the ball, Ashley Cole successfully received the ball, accelerated suddenly, strode the ball all the way across the center line.

All Arsenal are on!
This time, after forcing Porto to lose the ball, Arsenal regained control of the ball at their feet.

The golden corridor on the left, which is known throughout Europe, is showing its power at this time. Ashley Cole sees Maniche blocking in front of him, trying to be a blocker.

So Ashley Cole, who is no longer a young teenager, quickly stopped the ball, turned around, and took a kick.

The ball scraped the turf and flew towards Pires, and Pires, relying on his own skills, used two fake moves to quickly shake Costinha, who was still in control of the ball just now.

The most important thing is that Costinha, who was not well controlled, fell to the court after this defensive defeat because the center of gravity shifted too quickly.

Everyone saw that Costinia had no contact with Pires, and many fans pointed at the fallen Costinia and laughed loudly.

Some fans may not know Costinia's name, but they must remember how embarrassing he was sitting on the grass after being shaken.

Costinia, who has a good mental quality, was not ashamed of this mistake, but quickly got up and chased back quickly, trying to grab the ball.

　Today's [-]-word commitment, so there will be updates, first update first.
