Iron Man on the pitch

But Arsenal is not satisfied with this.

After scoring two goals in a row, they were in high morale and showed high fighting spirit, and they fought more actively, and continued to launch a fierce offensive against Sporting Lisbon.

In the injury stoppage time of the first half, Anderson Polga, who had been head-on with Bentner, did not expect that Bentner would suddenly change his move. He originally leaned against his body and suddenly touched the side, causing him to just now Anderson Polga, who was exerting force, lost his balance.

Bentner, who threw away Anderson Polga, received a perfect pass from Rossici, who followed the direction of the football and shot it into the dead end of the Sporting Lisbon goal.

3:1! Arsenal scored another goal and led the overall score.

The first half ended with the referee's whistle.

Sporting Lisbon players walked into the locker room in a daze.

This time, Paul Bento had no choice but to try hard to pat the players on the shoulders and throw silent encouragement at them.

To put it bluntly, most of these players at Sporting Lisbon have reached the ceiling of their personal talent, and they have done well enough. Professional sports are so cruel. The gap in talent cannot be smeared by hard work and hard work, nor is it that I can win if I have to work hard.

Paul Bento can only look forward to Li Ling's explosive performance, although he doesn't know what a explosive is, Li Ling won't do it now.

Next, Paul Bento cooked a bowl of spiritual chicken soup to the dejected players, and fed them with support, but it was useless. I can only hope that the players will remain in shape, curb Arsenal's offense and stop losing the ball.

Unfortunately, all this is useless.

Joao Moutinho looked at Li Ling and smiled bitterly: "It seems that our journey to the Champions League this time is about to end, but fortunately, he did not lose at home, which would make the fans less sad."

"Hey, you are the captain, you can't admit defeat so easily!" Li Ling did not have any frustration on his face. After all, for himself, the league cannot lose because of bets involving fame, but the Champions League is the case. Don't care about winning or losing.

"You have such a good attitude. I think this is the difference between us and top players..." Miguel Veroso came over and put an arm on Joao Moutinho's shoulders and accompanied him Hold together to keep warm.

"Looking openly, we should not have such a big psychological burden. We are challengers and weak people. As long as we can tear off a piece of meat from Arsenal, it will be our victory." Li Ling tried to encourage them, but The almost good reading tone cannot mobilize the passion of teammates.

"If this is the case, we have done it, right?" Joao Moutinho shrugged. "It is because everyone has the idea of ​​winning the game and advancing to the next round that they are so disappointed now."

"That's right." Li Ling looked around the people in the locker room, and everyone was filled with the feeling of depressed hope after it was shattered.

"There's no way," Li Ling leaned back against the wall and thought helplessly, "No matter how good the words are said at this time, it's not as useful as the real performance on the court, so I have to find a way to enter the second half. ball."

"But the level gap between teammates and the opponent is real, and they cannot be matched. I pulled the edge and broke through, and one after another after passing, and the Arsenal players will be chased back very quickly after being beaten."

"If I want to use the fulcrum style of my past to revitalize the attack, it is useless, because I can't deal with Campbell like this, and I must use speed to attack him. Neither Ledesson nor Postigga can help me take it away The role of defensive players around you is not like that in the national team, the other forward is Ronaldo."

"I had to try hard to see if I could steal one with the opportunity to set the ball and drag the game into overtime."

As the rest time came, watching the players cheer up and walk into the stadium, Paul Bento could only smile helplessly: "Young guys, come on!"

Paul Bento couldn't help but think of the promise made by Football Association officials to him: if he leads Sporting Lisbon to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he will immediately become the head coach of the Portuguese national team.

At that time, Paul Bento will use Sporting Lisbon's midfield configuration to build the midfield of the Portuguese national team, and use Li Ling as the core of the midfield organization to compete in the South Africa World Cup.

Unfortunately, if I lose this game, I can only wait for the league to be the result.

In the 45th minute of the second half, I don’t know if a miracle can happen.

Sporting Lisbon kicked off, continued to repeat the tactics of the first half, and found Li Ling with a long pass.

Li Ling has the advantage in the confrontation with Vermullen and brings the football to the topPostigga.

Unfortunately, Postigga lost to the experienced Campbell. When he was about to receive the football, Campbell walked around to the front and headed the football.

Sporting Lisbon was then trapped in Arsenal's siege again.

Maybe it was because the excitement of the first half was used up, and Arsenal did not get any results after 20 minutes of attack in the second half. It helped Rui Patricio to score 12 saves. As for the dangerous balls that were not able to shoot within the goal frame, there were more, but he couldn't save these balls even if he wanted to.

Perhaps they were a little tired, Arsenal chose to give up the ball and retreat by themselves, after all, they were not in a hurry.

This situation is both good and bad for Sporting Lisbon.

The good news is that Sporting Lisbon will bear a lot less pressure when organizing the midfield and will have smoother offense.

The bad news is that Sporting Lisbon must score goals in order to continue the game, so all the players must press on.

If this Arsenal wants to play defensive counterattack, the speed of two wingers, Nasri and Al Shavin, as well as two full-backs, Krish and Sarnia, will pose a great threat to Sporting Lisbon.

Center Ben Turner relies on his body advantage and is a good player who acts as the team's fulcrum in counterattacks. He can easily take off the high-altitude balls cleared from the back defense.

So Sporting Lisbon's offense was trembling, and the effect was not good at all. If Arsenal players are allowed to defend with this intensity for more than ten minutes and recover a certain amount of physical strength, then Sporting Lisbon is likely to be taken away by the offensive wave launched by Arsenal at the end of the game.

However, no one could have imagined that an unexpected opportunity came.

When Li Ling once again withdrew from the midfield to receive the ball, Pedro Mendes, who held the ball, might have been confused and mistakenly thought that Li Ling was still in the frontcourt, so he sent the ball to Arsenal with a big foot In the penalty area, it is too right.

Although Postigga could not do anything to Campbell in the confrontation, he could still beat the old Campbell in this kind of competition speed and explosiveness.

So it unexpectedly formed a situation where Arsenal goalkeeper Amunia and Postiga competed for football 1-on-1.

Facing the ball falling from high altitude, Amunia, who abandoned the goal, was not sure to take the ball steadily and chose a safe fist to hit the ball towards the front court.

In this way, Arsenal's goal is unguarded.

Li Ling judged the landing point of the football and rushed over like a sharp arrow.

He squeezed and fell, and the center of gravity of Diaby and Rosici was unstable. Li Ling jumped high and stopped the football with his chest.

The football that hit Li Ling's chest bounced forward, and Li Ling, who landed on the ground, bounced out.

Li Ling, who took off again, kicked under the football, and the football drew a wonderful arc and fell into Arsenal's goal.

Amunia, who hurriedly returned to defense, could only slid down and followed the football and hit the ball net together.

2:3! Sporting Lisbon equalized the total score and also held 2 away goals!

(According to the real game, this game was originally in time and space. Arsenal vs. Porto. There was a goalkeeper attacking and the clearance was passed to the Porto players, but the empty goal was not in.)
