Before playing Arsenal, Porto was hailed by the media as the only team in Group G that could challenge Arsenal. After losing 2:4, Porto immediately became a second-rate powerhouse in Europe, a general selected from among the lame.
The Portuguese media are also a little dissatisfied with Porto's 11 visits to England. Even the pro-Porto Record joked: Maybe only in the UEFA Cup can Porto break the record of winning in England.
Gao Xiaodong was widely favored before the game, and believed that the offer of 30 million euros was absolutely worthwhile. After the game, some media still believed that Gao Xiaodong had both offense and defense, and a long shot opened the prelude to Porto's counterattack. The bright spot is that the transfer fee of 30 million is not outrageous. Another part of the media thinks that Gao Xiaodong's skills are rough, his height is too short, he has no breakthrough ability, and he only shoots from a long distance. 20 million is too much. of.
The news of a strong team defeating a weak team will never be hyped. After the Belarusian team BATE Borisov drew 2:2 with Juventus, the European media and fans immediately put the Arsenal and Porto game behind, pay attention The power is transferred to Juventus. After Rexos defeated Basel, the Portuguese media also focused on last season's dark horse Rexos. Except for Porto fans, no one paid attention to Porto.
In the days without media attention, Porto's style of play is slowly changing. In the fifth round of the league, Ferreira tried a 4-4-2 formation. Forward Lisandro and Hulk partnered, midfielders Gao Xiaodong, Lu Qiao, and Meireles dominated, and Guarin, Fernando, and Rodriguez In the sixth round of the league, Ferreira changed the formation to 4312. Gao Xiaodong, Meireles, and Fernando partnered with three midfielders. Lisandro and Rodriguez played forwards, and they took turns to experiment in the middle. Hulk, Farias and Lisandro partnered, and Gao Xiaodong and Lu Qiao switched.
Porto won the two rounds of the league, but because the Portuguese opponents were too weak, the victory could not really test the pros and cons of the formation and personnel mix until the arrival of the third Champions League opponent, Dynamo Kiev.
In the first two rounds, Dynamo Kiev tied both games and ranked third with two points. Although there is a factor of ice and snow at home, if their own strength is not enough, no matter how good the venue is, it will not be able to help the team draw against a strong team like Arsenal. Team.
Faced with the Ukrainian class bully who is coming from thousands of miles away, Porto dare not be careless, and they are not qualified to be careless. Coach Ferreira has a 4312 formation with three midfielders.
The goalkeeper is the unassailable Helton, back four Fucilai, Rolando, Alves and Sapruna, midfielder Gao Xiaodong, Guarin and Meirelles, midfielder Lucho, forwards Hulk and Risand Ro.
Dynamo Kiev has a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper 31-Bogush; four backs 3-Betao, 15-Diakat, 32-Asadiani, 3o-Kadori; Field 11-Eremenko, 5-Vukojevic, 4-Gioani, 8-Aliyev double forward 25-Milevsky, 1o-Bangura
Dynamo Kiev's is exactly the same as the draw with Arsenal at home,
Compared with Arsenal's lineup, Porto's lineup only changed one midfielder, with Guarin, who has a stronger attacking power, replacing Fernando, who is more defensive.
After the game started, Gao Xiaodong, who was in charge of the defensive midfielder, was more excited than other teammates, running tirelessly, as if he was a perpetual motion machine.
Fans and teammates thought that Gao Xiaodong was stimulated by the last game, and he was eager to win this game. In fact, Gao Xiaodong was so excited because he could be promoted to a professional netbsp after winning this game; before playing against Arsenal, Gao Xiaodong Xiaodong has 42 points. If he wins against Arsenal, he can get another 4 points. Gao Xiaodong can be promoted after winning the last round of the league. However, the defeat at the Emirates Stadium delayed Gao Xiaodong's promotion time until this round against Arsenal. Dynamo Kiev won two games in a row, and Gao Xiaodong, who has accumulated 46 system points, has reached the critical point of promotion. As long as he defeats Dynamo Kiev in this game, Gao Xiaodong will be promoted to professional netbsp; to play against Arsenal, The technically streamed Porto has no technical advantages and looks like a rough guy. They only scored two away goals by relying on physical confrontation.
But playing against Dynamo Kiev, Porto's technical advantage is obvious. After the opening, the ball is basically controlled by Porto's feet, and the pass and cut cooperation is very smooth, but Dynamo Kiev can only run after the ball.
However, advantage does not mean victory, and victory does not mean victory. Although Dynamo Kiev is passive, its defense is very stable. After consecutive draws with Arsenal and Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kiev has accumulated countermeasures The experience of two teams, the flow and the blood flow, is to stick to the 30-meter area and fight desperately in the half.
Moreover, Dynamo Kiev has done a very detailed study on Porto, and has targeted defenses against Gao Xiaodong, Lisandro, Lucho, Hulk and others, so that Porto's offense can only circle outside the penalty area, forming No threatening shots.
Dynamo Kyiv adopted such a conservative tactic, which made Porto's three midfielders useless. Gao Xiaodong was unable to run to the forward position, which was too far away from his defensive position. Gao Xiaodong naturally ran to the front midfielder position , here, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, this is Gao Xiaodong's favorite.
But it was captain Lu Qiao who played this position, which made Lu Qiao very dissatisfied, thinking that Gao Xiaodong was here to grab his position.
In the 20th minute of the game, Porto midfielder Melles turned around and passed Gao Xiaodong directly. When Gao Xiaodong received the ball, Kiev Dynamo midfielder Aliyev rushed forward to press for it. Gao Xiaodong was posted by Aliyev , a shoulder bump and a sneaky push with his hand knocked Aliyev to the ground. Although the referee saw it, he ignored it.
The opponent's defense player hadn't arrived yet, Gao Xiaodong finally got room to kick, he took a step forward, ignoring the opponent's player who shoveled over, swung his thigh and shot with a burst.
This is Gao Xiaodong's third shot since the start of the game. The first shot hit the plane, and the second shot was interfered by the opponent, and the ball went wide. This time, Gao Xiaodong found the feeling, and the ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. .
After the ball flew out, Gao Xiaodong was also knocked to the ground by his opponent.
Dynamo Kiev's goalkeeper Bogush had been prepared, he jumped and poked the ball with his fingertips.
Bogush is 25 years old this year, with a height of 1.92 meters. He is the golden age with the fastest reaction. In the previous two games, Arsenal and Fenerbahce shot a lot, and Bogush's state has also been practiced. In addition, he was very wary of Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot, so such a tricky and powerful shot was actually saved by him.
ah!
It actually jumped out!
God save me!
The goalkeeper is on the hook today!
...
The Porto fans in the stands sighed, while more than a thousand Dynamo Kiev fans who came from afar secretly wiped a cold sweat.
