After time travel, I can only beat up the national football team

Chapter 75: When others shovel, you shovel too, and you shovel away the loneliness!

Today's Arsenal's state has indeed declined slightly compared to the previous game. Most of the players have dropped by 1 to 2 points in combat effectiveness. This is obviously a reflection of the away game and lack of physical fitness.

But even so, Arsenal still suppressed Porto on paper, especially the performance of two super giants. Porto could only focus on passive defense at the beginning.

Zhang Desheng could only retreat first to help his teammates stabilize Arsenal's three goals. Even he could see that Wenger wanted to win them in the first half in one go, because the situation might be reversed in the second half. .

But the Arsenal fans in front of the TV quickly started yelling at him. Who allowed him to sneak Vieira down in his first retreat to defend? The most disgusting thing is that he didn't even get a foul.

"Black whistle! Porto must have bribed that damn referee!"

"Damn it, this referee is Russian, I feel there must be something wrong here!"

"Bergkamp was injured by him like this. How long are we going to tolerate him today? Is it important to be underage?"

At this time, Gunners fans remembered that it was Zhang Desheng who tackled Bergkamp during the first battle between the two sides. As a result, Ice Prince, who had just returned from injury, was placed on the injured list again the next day.

After that, Bergkamp played one game after another, and his body seemed to be getting worse. After playing Everton a few days ago, he was on the injured list again.

But this was an unjust victory. Although he tackled Bergkamp randomly, he never flashed his spikes and never charged anyone maliciously. Even when he found that he couldn't tackle the ball, They will take the initiative to withdraw their strength.

This is why Vieira was so angry that he cursed, but still did not retaliate against him.

We all have played football for so many years, how could we not know what kind of actions can hurt people and what kind of actions are just pure defense.

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Zhang Desheng continued to cooperate with his teammates on the flanks or sneak attacks from behind, using his talents of quick eyes, quick feet, and quick reactions to constantly harass, just like a crazy old man who sneaked back.

This kind of harassment naturally has an impact on Arsenal, but what really prevented them from breaking through the defense was not this kind of petty fight.

Today's Arsenal not only lost Bergkamp, ​​the fulcrum near the penalty area, but also Pires, one of the French Iron Triangle, took a rest. Now they only rely on Henry and Vieira's two-way connection to attack and output. It always feels a little bit worse.

This was the main reason why Arsenal did not do enough damage with these three strikes. Porto relied on the double defense bonus of the home fans and whistles to finally withstand Arsenal's onslaught.

Of course, the role of the home whistle cannot be ignored!

Porto's defensive actions today were obviously bigger than in the last game. Arsenal players often fell on their backs outside the penalty area, but the referee did not give the away team too many set kicks!
This is so critical. Top teams like them don't have a few free kick masters!

Therefore, once there are too many fouls and too many free kick opportunities are given to the opponent, it is really impossible to say which kick will be blasted at a fixed point.

The first half of the game was a stalemate between offense and defense, and finally ended in a temporary draw with 0:0.

Wenger couldn't help but let out a long sigh when the midfield whistle sounded.

This attack failed, and he already knew that today would probably be the pill.

Arsenal players were already at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness. The constant attacks in the first half further depleted their remaining reserves, but in the end they were unable to penetrate the bus Porto put in front of the goal.

Now, on the surface, they can get a breather during the halftime break, but in fact, once they stop at this time, it is similar to the principle of going all out, then fading, and exhausting themselves.

Wenger knows the physical fitness of Arsenal players. After the half-time break interrupted the rhythm, he may not be able to do anything when he comes back in the second half.

"Then keep it!"

Wenger, the birthday man, had to choose to defend when he saw this, and thought to himself: It seems like no one can drive a bus.

If Porto sets up a bus, then they will set up a tank directly in front of the goal in the second half. You can also try to attack.

When the Arsenal players heard their coach's order, they naturally had no resistance and shouted to let the Porto people see their Gunners' defense.

To be honest, Arsenal has done a good job of uniting as one. After all, players like Barcelona don't take the coach's words seriously, and the coach changes the players' positions regardless of their wishes... Well, it seems Quite a few...

"Mr. Arsène, you... hello, I... I am Mr. Zhang Desheng's assistant. He knows that your birthday is today... He specially asked a Chinese chef to make a bowl of longevity noodles for you... It is said that in China , if you eat this kind of noodles on your birthday, you can live to be 100 years old!”

At this time, a white kid who looked underage, blushed and stammered when he spoke, actually ran into the Arsenal dressing room carrying a beautifully packed box, and then took out a bowl of steaming noodles. Pass it to Wenger.

This unexpected and heart-warming birthday gift immediately made the Gunners players who were so high-spirited just now feel a little discouraged.

That’s because everyone is like, “Oh,” “Oh my god,” “That’s cool,” “That’s surprising.”

Then they all lamented that that bastard Zhang Desheng would actually send such a touching birthday gift.

Wenger didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was still very touched by the boy's kindness, and it was indeed very heartfelt. He had never received such a birthday gift on such an occasion in his life.

But I'm a bit confused about whether to eat this noodle or not. If I don't eat two bites, it seems like I won't be giving face, but if I eat it, the occasion doesn't seem right?

This really posed a difficult problem for him, and he felt a little bit on the right track?
The halftime break passed in a flash and both teams were quickly back on the field.

穆里尼奥这时见到阿森纳由3-4-3阵型直接变成了5-4-1，哪还不知道今天的比赛成了回合制，现在该轮到他们去破防了。

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if it can't be broken. I can accept 0:0!"

Mourinho doesn't want to press forward. Arsenal's only arrow is Henry, which is several levels better than their speed forward McCarthy.

Therefore, he did not let the team press forward at all. At most, he put in some troops to try, but he must keep the back line stable at all times. Even if he scored 1 point, he could not risk losing 3 points.

Before the start of the second half, Zhang Desheng went up to say birthday wishes to Wenger, who also expressed his gratitude to him.As for whether Wenger ate that bowl of noodles?

Zhang Desheng knew that it was definitely impossible to finish the meal, but it was still possible to take a few bites, but of course he didn't ask, so he didn't know the answer.

But he knows that his intention of disturbing the enemy's military morale has definitely been achieved, and not only will he not offend anyone, he will also have to thank us.

As for Mourinho's reluctance to take risks and attack, he certainly does not agree with this too utilitarian conservatism, but he also knows that this is indeed the most stable choice at the moment.

Porto can fully accept Arsenal's first place in the group, as long as they can steadily suppress Barcelona and qualify.

Now in Barcelona's two home games, one lost to them and the other only drew with Arsenal.

That is to say, as long as they don't give Arsenal 3 points at home, they can actually suppress Barcelona.

"Hello, my defeated general. Goodbye, my defeated general!"

Shortly after the start of the second half, Zhang Desheng met Ashley Cole again after picking up the ball near the right. Then, after quickly saying hello to the opponent, he gave the ball to Jankowska, who was retreating to receive the ball. Si, he turned around and took up Deco's position after the forward penetration.

"Bastard!"

Ashley Cole secretly cursed. Just now, he was flanking Zhang Desheng. Today, the one who was mainly defending that kid was the Ivorian defender who was replaced in the second half, a somewhat silly Kolo Toure.

As soon as he finished this thought, he saw Tu Lei, who was like a calf, following closely behind him.

This versatile defender who was rushed to sign by Wenger after he tackled Henry and Bergkamp in the trial training also planned to deal with Zhang Desheng in the same way after coming on the field today. He even had the naive idea of ​​avenging his teammates. .

But unlike the elegant Bergkamp, ​​tackling is the defensive method that Zhang Desheng ignores the most now, because the forward swing is usually too long, which will give him enough reaction time to dodge, or take advantage of it. Use your diving skills to counterattack!

Deco took the ball and rushed to the penalty area to pass it out. Cappuccio kept knocking the ball back, and Zhang Desheng got the ball at a key position.

Toure didn't say anything and just made a flying shovel.

Zhang Desheng sneered in his heart, screamed and fell down!

"beep!"

The referee, whether it was a Russian, a Frenchman, or an Argentinian, would definitely not turn a blind eye to this kind of foul. He immediately ran forward and took out a yellow card to Toure, who looked innocent.

Wenger slapped the stool hard on the court and then burped!
He didn't dare to use Toure to defend Zhang Desheng in the last game or today's first half, just because he was afraid of this scene!
Now it's okay, a yellow card is enough to hurt. The position of this set piece is about 25 meters opposite the goal. It is a threatening distance and position. Whether it is passing or hitting the goal, it is enough for them to drink.

Sure enough, Deco lived up to the good opportunity created by Zhang Desheng. He made a beautiful arc and bypassed the wall. The football quickly flew into the goal against the right post. The old goalkeeper Seaman had no reaction!
"The ball went in!!!"

"Deco, what a wonderful arc!"

"We all know he was not in good form last game!"

"But today, he is a hero! He completed the fatal blow!"

"We also want to express our gratitude to Zhang Desheng. It was he who created this opportunity to seal his throat with a sword!"

"We, the old and new cores of Porto, join forces to attack, can you Arsenal stop it?"

"..."

Porto's commentators have probably completely turned into fans of Zhang Desheng. They gave half of the credit to Zhang Desheng for this goal, even though he did play a key role in the middle.

Then, the camera showed Mourinho running to celebrate on the sidelines, and this bastard was stealing the camera again.
