Arsenal suffered a late 1-0 defeat to FC Porto in their first leg of the UEFA Champions League match. This win made the FC Porto boss to go over the moon because his club had beaten one of the teams with a very promising squad.
Sergio Conceicao who is the Manager of FC Porto said that Mikel Arteta hails from Pep Guardiola’s school and they think that best way to beat their opponents is to have more possession of the ball, but all that depends on the team and the performance that they have.
He added that they only had 40%-60% ball possession and he even added that he could have not even felt bad if his team could have had 30%-70% possession but still won the match. He added that what matters is what you do with the ball with a defined strategy to score goals.
His words were not taken lightly by the Arsenal fans. They vowed to him that FC Porto will see dust when they visit the Emirates stadium. They also sent a stern warning to him and told him to go and ask Lens what they saw in the group stages after beating Arsenal away from the Emirates stadium.
The Arsenal players rained on them with goals and they regretted why they defeated the Gunners. The fans told Sergio Conceicao that the same fate is waiting for him and his team. This is indeed a stern warning.
Some of the fans also told the FC Porto Coach that he will swallow his words very soon. They told him that he could have uttered such words if his team could have gotten victory at the Emirates stadium.
They told him that there is still a whole 90 minutes of football to be played, and tables can still turn and Arsenal thrash the club mercilessly and then proceed to the quarter finals.
