官网: ================================ By Richard Clarke in Porto The goalscoring burden will rest on young shoulders this evening in Porto as Arsenal try to secure safe passage to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. It is Matchday Six and Arsene Wenger’s side need only a point in Portugal to win Group G. However they have travelled here without Thierry Henry. The 29-year-old is Arsenal’s captain, top-scorer and talisman. However he faces a few weeks out with a sciatic nerve problem. Even if he was fit Henry would not be playing in this game. He picked up his third booking of the campaign in the 3-1 win over Hamburg a fortnight ago. His suspension means others must take the mantle. “I'm confident the younger players can come through this spell,” said Wenger on the eve of the game. “Ideally we want Henry to be there but we have Adebayor, Van Persie, Walcott. They can all produce goals. (在此看到Adebayor不知为何胃有点开始紧张 客场.... 更是不能浪费机会 希望他冷静好好把握.....) “A lot of the play goes through Thierry and when he is not there naturally it changes the game. Other players have to get involved more. For example, Emmanuel Adebayor compliments Henry but he can play on his own up front as well. “I feel all the younger players will take more responsibility in this game. Remember we are young but already experienced.” Another well-travelled player, Tomas Rosicky, will be missing this evening. He hurt his hamstring in the win over Tottenham at the weekend and will be out for three weeks. It was hoped William Gallas, Arsenal’s most experienced defender, would be back however his thigh problem need a few more days at least. (没错 客场且在要拿积分的情况下 经验丰富的Gallas没能来的确有差) (Toure还是可靠的,希望他的搭档也是) Simply avoiding defeat will send Arsenal through but they can even afford to lose if CSKA Moscow fail to win in Hamburg. However the fact that both combatants here tonight can progress with a draw suggests it will be a cagey affair. Even the stats support the notion. In this season's Champions League, Arsenal have averaged 34 minutes of possession per game — the highest figure in the competition. Porto average 26 minutes — the second lowest tally. This could easily be a cat-and-mouse kind of game with the visitors happy to retain the ball and hosts happy to let them have it. However, the Portugese Double winners are certainly worthy of respect. They have strung together three wins after taking only one point from their opening two fixtures. Their 2-0 win in Moscow on Matchday Five changed the whole perspective of Group G. Given Arsenal could only glean a point from their two fixtures with CSKA, that was no mean feat. “They played very well against us at Emirates Stadium even though we won 2-0,” said Wenger. “I think they are more solid now. They have a good midfield, good defence and recently the strikers — Helder Postiga and Quaresma - have become much more efficient. They were very dangerous especially in the game I saw against Moscow." “Of course it would be a massive blow for us if we were to go out of the Champions League. But you can never predict what will happen." “We are relaxed, united, have quality and know how we want to play. So we have a good chance. But so do Porto. This is a difficult group. Even [bottom side] Hamburg have qualities, they showed that us against us." “We will go out to win the game," Wenger concluded. "Of course, if it is 0-0 with 10 minutes to go we certainly won't bombard everyone into the box. But you can't start the game playing for the draw.” As long as Arsenal finish the game having secured one point they will be fine. (这边跟我想的一样 我们上季欧冠在最後淘汰赛阶段也是几场0-0就够了 今天不要太铁齿... 当然要全力求胜,没有求胜心连一分也带不走, 不过一定要先固守不失球,尤其客场,不要攻的太压过於上被打反击 後防稳固中场稳稳控制球,这样应该至少能在葡萄牙全身而退) ------------------ 汉堡现在联赛蛮需要力气攻上去 所以预计在连联盟盃都确定没有的情况下 不会在欧冠比赛中太认真 因此我们不能输 -- 三大规条︰戒酒 戒赌 戒烟 五大目标︰学海无涯 唯勤是崖 拿完绿卡要拿金卡 穿鞋要穿袜 英文要讲grammar 想做就去做 船头爱茶煲 --
