Chapter 283

On the second day of the group match of the Champions League, there was more than one unexpected result. The Premier League giants Manchester United were tied 0-0 at home by Villarreal, and the other giants Arsenal were tied 1-1 away by Dynamo Kiev. Bayern, Juve and Real Madrid all won.

Arsenal's defeat put Porto at the top of group G, which is a very good start for Porto.

After the match, Spanish newspaper as praised Porto's performance, saying that Porto's strength did not decline after leaving Quaresma and Bosingwa, and they are in good condition. If Arsenal are still slow, they are likely to be robbed of the first place in the group by Porto.

German Bild believes that Porto has technical advantages over Dynamo Kiev and Fenerbahce. As long as they play well in two away games, it will not be a big problem for them to get out of the group, but it will take a little luck to compete with Arsenal for the first place in the group.

The English media also think that Porto is Arsenal's top enemy for group one, but the English media think that as long as Arsenal play normally in the next few games, there is no problem for group one.

On the Internet, some Porto fans think that Arsenal are in a low state. As long as Porto can draw with Arsenal in the next away game, it is possible to qualify as the first in the group. Some Porto fans think that it is not necessary to think about the first and second in the group. If they play three home games well, they can qualify in the group.

Although the Arsenal fans criticized the away performance of the Gunners for not being worthy of their uniforms, they did not think that anyone could threaten the top of the group. They all thought that the top four were the passing line of Arsenal.

Gao Xiaodong is one of the focus figures in the summer transfer market. The reason why he failed in the summer transfer is mainly due to the lack of competition performance. Therefore, Gao Xiaodong's Champions League debut has also attracted media attention.

After the game, almost all the media gave Gao Xiaodong a high score of more than 8 points for his Champions League debut. They thought that Gao Xiaodong was not like a rookie in the Champions League at all. He was very experienced and was the key to Porto's victory. His performance proved that Porto's transfer fee of 30 million yuan for him in the summer was not exorbitant.

Germany's "transfer market" believes that if Gao Xiaodong often performs like this in the Champions League this season and the Porto group is qualified, Gao Xiaodong's transfer value will not be less than 30 million.

Porto is not a rookie in the Champions League. They are old players in the Champions League. Media praise and criticism have little influence on them. However, a fierce battle in the Champions League and playing in the League on the weekend have a great influence on Porto's physical fitness.

In the third round of the Portuguese Super League match against Ferreira at the weekend, Porto's players played with great momentum in the first half, leading 3-0, and they couldn't run in the second half. Ferreira, who didn't have the Champions League, dragged down Porto with frenzied closing down in the second half and pulled two goals in the last 15 minutes. If it wasn't for lack of time, maybe Porto's three points would fly away .

Next, Porto is facing a difficult problem. The weekend is the Portuguese derby with Benfica. In the middle of the week, they will go to London to challenge Premier League giants Arsenal. How should they play this game?

Benfica is Porto's nemesis, the two teams against the national attention, even if it is not related to the championship, they can not give up this game.

Arsenal are the most powerful opponents in group G. even if they don't play Benfica at the weekend, Porto's away game chances are no more than 30%. If they have another fierce fight with Benfica, there is little hope of winning away games.

Porto's coaching staff have discussed and decided to play Benfica first, because even if they give up the game with Benfica, there is not much chance of winning away against Arsenal. It's better to play Benfica well. As for the away game with Arsenal, it's up to fate.

Compared with last season, Benfica not only changed coach from Camacho to Flores, but also introduced famous players such as Aimar, Reyes, Suazo and Balboa. With the maturity of DiMaria, the strength has been greatly improved. The only problem is that the new coach, new players and the lineup run in time is too short, and they can not play their full fighting capacity.

Porto will play the Champions League in the middle of the week and Benfica will play the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week. They lost 2-3 away to Napoli in the third round. The pressure is no less than Porto.

On September 27, at 8:15, the first leg of the 0809 Portugal national Derby started at the stadium of light.

In the cheers of nearly 50000 fans, Benfica launched a fierce attack on Porto at the beginning.

Porto has been very strong in recent seasons. Although they are away from home, they are not conservative at all. In the beginning, they played against Benfica.

Today is Gao Xiaodong's first time to participate in the Portuguese Derby. He likes to be able to perform, but after the game, the focus on the pitch is Benfica's angel DiMaria.

Benfica today's main attack on the left, angel DiMaria frequent use of personal technology attack Porto's right back sapluna.

Sapluna is 1.9 meters tall, tall and flexible, with a large interception area, but that is relative to the European striker. After facing DiMaria, sapluna exposed all the defects of the tall full back. In the first three minutes, DiMaria swung the ball by two turns. DiMaria passed the ball from the bottom, Benfica was outflanked in the middle, and Reyes deflected the ball.Two minutes later, DiMaria made a comeback. Today, Gao Xiaodong, who is in charge of the back of the team, helped the defense to the side. He and sapluna attacked DiMaria together.

Last season, Gao Xiaodong played against DiMaria. At that time, DiMaria was very unique. She only liked dribbling and didn't like passing the ball.

However, after Argentina won the men's Football Championship in the Yanjing Olympic Games, DiMaria seemed to be suddenly enlightened. Seeing Gao Xiaodong and sapluna wrapped the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Aimar in the middle.

Aimar, nicknamed clown, is an excellent midfield commander. He has delicate skills and strong breakthrough ability. Although he is 29 years old this year, his explosive power and speed are not as good as before due to injury problems, but his technical awareness is still there.

When Aimar received the ball, because Gao Xiaodong made up the flank and Porto's middle was a little empty, Aimar made a decisive attack on the restricted area and attracted the defense of meleres. After Aimar thrust the ball straight to Reyes, Reyes entered the restricted area from the rib, intercepted by central defender Rolando and pushed the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Holden couldn't save, the ball flew under his ribs, but it bounced out on the post.

DiMaria broke the balance of Porto's back line on the left, Gao Xiaodong had to help defend the side frequently, so the middle was empty. Benfica had a good player like Aimar in the middle. His real breakthrough and passing made Porto's centre back lose one and lose the other, and the goal was dangerous at any time.
