7:35 minutes

The Porto players and Arsenal players walked out of the locker room holding the caddy's hand.

In the stands, the fans applauded and cheered, and on the side of the stadium, reporters also snapped their cameras at the players.

When the players took a group photo, Mendes slowly put down the binoculars in the stands and said to Da Costa, who was sitting in the corner staring at the big screen: “Xiaodong doesn’t seem to be affected by anything. With a smile."

Da Costa shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily, this kid has always been a hippie smile."

Mendes said: "After the game starts, you will know by watching the game."

Da Costa sighed: "Last time with Deco, with Mourinho, we have dominated Europe. Even if we pass the Arsenal level this time, I am afraid there is no hope of reaching the top in Rome."

Mendes poured a glass of red wine for Da Costa and smiled: "Even if Ferreira is replaced by Mourinho this time, Porto has no hope of winning. The other two semi-final opponents, Barcelona and Chelsea are at the top. In terms of technique, Barcelona's mercury is better than Arsenal. In terms of hardness and defense, Chelsea, which Mourinho has tuned, beats Porto by the first gear. If any of them enters the final, Porto won't play."

Da Costa smiled and said: "As long as you can go to Rome, it doesn't matter whether you win the championship or not. It's not that you haven't won it. By reaching the finals, the value of the players has been fully demonstrated and you don't need a championship to add to it."

Mendes said: "Yes, the value has been hit, Porto really picked up a peerless treasure, Xiaodong is now estimated to be 45 million euros."

Da Costa smiled and said: "Robinho can be worth more than 40 million. Why can't Gao Xiaodong be worth 50 million? Thanks to scout Andrews, this is 50 million euros for Porto. Said advertising effect."

Mendes smiled and said, "You make a fortune, and I make a small fortune."

Da Costa smiled and said: "I am a one-off deal. You are a long-term business. Every time you transfer sponsorship, you make money."

Mendes shook his head slightly and said, "Who knows the future."

"As long as there is no injury, Xiaodong still has no problem to become the main force of the five major league giants. Whether he can become the core depends on personal efforts and opportunities... The game has begun..."

Da Costa thought Mendes was talking about Gao Xiaodong's growth. Mendes didn't say much when he watched the game start.

The game began, and the visiting team Arsenal was the first to serve.

The loss in the first round was still a big blow to Arsenal. Although they had to win in this game to advance, after the start of the game, Arsenal's players were not in a hurry to play, and they patiently passed and cooperated. Mobilize Porto's players and look for loopholes in Porto's defense.

This time, Porto still has a 451 formation and adopts a defensive counterattack tactic. The difference from the previous game is that Porto's defense in this game is more active and oppressive.

It used to be a siege, and then a siege. Now it is a siege. Players actively press for the player with the ball, and other players come to encircle at the same time.

Arsenal’s players have good skills, and the player who grabbed it is easy to pass, but Porto has made careful arrangements for this. After the grabber is passed, they must reach out and follow them to the end. The ball player returned to his original position.

This kind of oppressive defense is very stamina-consuming, but Ferreira has no way. Porto does not have the strength to play against Arsenal. However, in their home court, Porto can't play too ugly. After all, Portugal is dominated by technical flow. Fans will be dissatisfied with a big swing at home, so they will adopt this tough approach to see when they can defend. If they can make another one, it will be no problem even if they don't have physical strength behind.

Gao Xiaodong's position in this game is still the midfielder, but from the previous game, it can be seen that Gao Xiaodong's speed is quite fast, so Ferreira made Gao Xiaodong, Fernando and Guarin stand in a triangle, Gao Xiaodong slightly Pushed forward five meters.

It is said that these five meters will not affect Gao Xiaodong's return defense, and will be more conducive to Gao Xiaodong's passing and sprinting of two defensive midfielders and the central defender.

Fabregas began to feel that the gap between Gao Xiaodong and the central defender could be used. He passed the ball to that position for Van Persie to get the ball, but Van Persie was going to grab the ball and Gao Xiaodong quickly arrived.

Van Persie dialed the ball, Gao Xiaodong stabbed the ball, the ball flew to the side, Van Persie also rolled to the side like a ground gourd.

There were many people in the backcourt of Porto, and the ball was immediately grabbed by Fernando.

Fernando passed the ball to Rolando. Van Persie hadn't gotten up at this moment. No one pressed Rolando. Rolando quickly took a few steps forward, attracting Nasri to come over and quickly pass it to Gao Xiaodong.

Arsenal's defense was intact, Gao Xiaodong did not stick the ball, passed the ball to Hulk, he quickly moved closer to the right, and continued to play the short board of Gibson on the left.

"Fighting Gibson again!" Wenger's mind was furious. Porto was sloppy. Last time he fought Gibson desperately. This time he also played Gibson. Fighting, I have arranged a heavy army to wait for you.

Wenger's so-called heavy soldiers, in addition to Nasri, also has midfielder Song, center defender Zhulu.

Wenger is also cruel to defend the left, as long as the ball hits his left, the two men move like the left to help Gibson defend.

Porto is also a technical team, but it's a bit less technical than Arsenal. After a few minutes of playing, without coaching instructions, they understand how to play.

When Porto gave the ball to Hulk on the wing again, Gao Xiaodong yelled Hulk. Instead of assisting on the wing, he moved back and forth to avoid Arsenal’s mid-range players so that Hulk could pass to him. ball.

Hulk understood, he used his strong body to protect the ball, and before Song could make up his defense, he passed directly to the team's deputy Gao Xiaodong.

The ball ran towards Gao Xiaodong and rolled over. Gao Xiaodong did not wait for the ball. He ran to meet the ball and stretched out his foot as if to bring the ball to the side. When he touched the ball, he cleverly pulled the ball back and moved forward. trip.

Gao Xiaodong did not find anyone approaching him, but he knew that in the midfield position, his defense would never be so easy, so he made a fake move when receiving the ball.

Sure enough, Gao Xiaodong's fake action deceived Fabregas, who had just pounced from the backcourt, and took two steps forward and directly kicked the shot.

Gao Xiaodong's shot is very powerful, but not sudden, he just wants to use the shot to improve morale, not to let Arsenal attack too rampant.

When Almunia took the ball in Gao Xiaodong, his attention was very concentrated. Seeing Gao Xiaodong hit a half-high ball, he flew sideways and threw the ball to the right.

Mereles boldly assisted Arsenal's 30-meter area when Gao Xiaodong got the ball. He saw Almunia plop the ball to the side, and ran to the saved ball to see if there was any Opportunity to shoot up.

However, Sarnia was closer and he got the ball first.

Sarnia tried to buckle Melales who was coming, and then passed the ball to the little tiger Walcott.

Sanya saw the timing and dunked the ball to the side, passing Mereles, but Mereles also reached out and grabbed Sanya after being dunked.

It was useful for Sanya to pull this one. When Sanya adjusted the center of gravity and passed the ball to Walcott, Gao Xiaodong just returned to the defense and rushed to steal the ball in front of Walcott.

Taking advantage of Gao Xiaodong's unsteady footing, Walcott also rushed to grab the ball.

Gao Xiaodong smiled badly, swiped the ball, and transferred it to Fernando. He moved his body a bit, just blocking Walcott's front.

Gao Xiaodong didn't move too much, but with this, Walcott couldn't stop and just hit Gao Xiaodong's body.

"Ah! Hit someone!"

Gao Xiaodong suddenly exerted force when Walcott touched his body, knocked the skinny Walcott face up to the sky, and then continued to run towards the opponent's half of the court.

Seeing that Gao Xiaodong's playing was still wretched, Mendes was relieved, "It seems that the war of words in the middle of the week has no effect on Xiaodong."

Da Costa said leisurely: "That bit of trouble can hit that thick-skinned kid, let's continue to look at his Yin Arsenal players."
