Chapter 250
The coaches of both sides are also seizing the time to deploy the latest tactics and boost morale at the same time.

"... There are still three and ten minutes! Grit your teeth and hold on! Whoever can hold on at this time will win the final victory!"

"...they are already on the brink of collapse, as long as we continue to put pressure on them, they will definitely collapse!"

Klopp especially reminded the players to pay attention to controlling the rhythm during overtime. If Juventus wants to attack, then don’t attack them. At this time, without physical support, attacking is courting death. .

At the end of the break, Klopp squatted on the ground, looked around at the Liverpool players in front of him and said: "I'm so proud of you guys, most of you are reaching the Champions League final for the first time. , but you did a great job, you let the whole world see how good you are. Logically, I can't ask for more, but I still want to ask you to go all out and win this championship, Keep our names forever in history! For our glory!"

Players from both sides got up and walked to the court, ready to start three 10-minute overtime.

Klopp stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, looking nervously at the players on the field.

This is the three 10 minutes that determine their fate. The hard work of a season depends on the last three 10 minutes.

"Friends in the audience, you are welcome to follow the TV signal back to the Berlin Olympic Stadium in London to watch the first half of the extra time of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final. After nine and 10 minutes of fighting, Liverpool and Juventus drew 1: 1 draw, and the winner cannot be determined within 10 minutes. If there is no way to decide the score in overtime, the game will enter the most cruel and fierce penalty shootout..."

In the first half of extra time, Juventus kicked off.

They took advantage of the kick-off and took the opportunity to launch a very swift attack on Liverpool's goal.

Wave after wave, Liverpool could only retreat to the backcourt to parry, completely powerless to fight back.

There was no trace of the hearty confrontation before.

After the physical fitness of both sides has declined, it is really difficult to play a scene that makes the fans and audience happy.

Generally speaking, the overtime of football games is like this. In the first half of 15 minutes, one team bombards the other team indiscriminately, and in the second half of 15 minutes, they continue to bombard indiscriminately. The offensive and defensive sides have switched positions.

This is caused by physical fitness.

Now it is clear that in the first half Juventus attacked and Liverpool defended.

Juventus' idea is to try to take the lead this first half.

Because of physical fitness, as long as there is a goal in overtime, in most cases, it is difficult for the trailing side to come back. If it can, it will definitely be remembered in history and be called a "classic".

For example, in the famous 1982 World Cup between France and Germany, the two sides drew 1:1 in regular time.In the extra time, the French team advanced by two goals, leading Germany 3:1. As a result, the tenacious German chased two more goals in the extra time, tied the score to 3:3, and dragged the game into a penalty shootout. , and beat France on penalties to knock them out.

The reason why that game became a classic is the ups and downs of the plot in just three 10 minutes of overtime.That game has also become a classic symbol of the tenacity of the German tanks.Whenever the tenacity of the Germans is mentioned, this game will be brought up as evidence.

Classic because it is rare.

On the other hand, there are many examples of losing the ball in overtime and then crashing.

No.906 minutes, Juventus launched an attack.Simone Pepe made a surprise attack with the ball. After cutting inside, he sent a through ball.

Pogba received the ball forward, but due to the decline in physical fitness, he could not increase his speed. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching and the goal was still far away, he could not guarantee the success rate of the shot, so he staggered and sent the football to the side Go, and Matri is there, and he catches the ball and shoots straight from the corner of the penalty area!

Football hits the side netting...

Although he didn't score, it also scared the Liverpool fans.During this period of time, Juventus's offensive has become increasingly fierce, and many people are really worried that their team will not be able to withstand it.

Juventus continued to bombard indiscriminately.

No.908 minutes, they got a corner kick.Simeone Pepe's corner kick was hit by Mignolet with his hands.

But the football landed outside the box and didn't fly far.After Marchisio stopped the football, he took a long shot...high!

In 1 minute, Juventus launched an attack from the right. Pardoin dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed the football back near the bottom line. Pogba in the penalty area was originally unmarked, so he also swung his foot Going to shoot, but when the ball did roll, he feinted and let the ball slip through his crotch!
This was really beyond the expectations of Liverpool's defensive players. They could only watch helplessly as the football was missed to the top of the penalty arc, where Marchisio stepped forward to keep up, and directly met the ball with a powerful and heavy shot. !

The football was pressed well this time, and there was no anti-aircraft fire.

But Mignolet once again performed bravely. He lunged sideways and blocked Marchisio's heavy artillery from the bottom line with both fists!
"Marchisio-Mignolet! World-class saves! During this period of time, Juventus's offensive is very fierce, and Liverpool's front door is jittery and precarious..."

Seeing this scene in their hearts, many people couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts - if this continues, maybe Juventus' goal will appear soon...

In the first half of overtime, Juventus basically besieged Liverpool. Liverpool didn't even have a shot, only parried, and had no power to fight back.

In such a situation, it is natural to worry that they will lose the ball.

Especially Liverpool's own fans, watching their team being beaten up by their opponents, are worried that a goal will come at any time.

If the ball is lost in overtime, it's all over...

The Liverpool fans in the stands were silent, their hearts beating fast.

The Juventus fans who were also in the stands raised their arms, singing and cheering continuously, cheering for their team.

The game lasted 1 minutes, only 4 minute away from the end of the first half.

The hearts of Liverpool fans can be relieved-the first half of this terrible overtime is about to end, and the second half is Liverpool's world!
After a break, Liverpool will bombard Juventus in the second half. As long as we can score a goal, the opponent will completely collapse!
Juventus got a free kick in the backcourt, and all the players rushed to the front. Obviously they also knew that their chances might not be many.

Barzagli came to take the free kick, and he directly kicked the football forward with a big foot.

The football flew high in the air and headed straight for Liverpool's penalty area.

The one at the top is not the replaced center Matri, but Koeman.

When the football fell from the air, he stopped the football firmly on his feet, but he still couldn't turn around and escape Manquillo's defense.

Seeing Koeman stop the ball, Simone Pepe, who was running forward, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area.

And Koeman also noticed the acceleration of Simeone Pepe. Since he couldn't turn around, why didn't he pass the football to Simeone Pepe?To threaten Liverpool's goal, you don't have to turn around yourself, as long as someone can threaten it!

Thinking of this, Koeman used the soles of his feet to gently flick the football behind him-he was afraid that if he flicked it too far, Simone Pepe would not be able to catch up with the ball, so he let the attacking Mignolet destroy it.But if the dial is small, it will also be destroyed by the opponent's defender.

This is really not an easy thing to handle. It looks like a simple flick of the ball, but there is a mystery hidden.

Koeman's kick was actually a little lighter. Seeing the football rolling behind him, Manquillo gave up on Koeman and turned around to pounce back.

And Skrtel, who was on both sides of him, was faster than him, and had already killed him behind him, shoveling towards the football!
At this time, Simone Pepe's explosive power was displayed to the extreme. He suddenly accelerated again during the high-speed sprint, and stabbed the football away first.

When Skrtel shoveled over, he hit nothing!
He didn't even touch Simone Pepe's leg. If he wanted to foul, Simone Pepe didn't give him such a chance!

"Simone - ahhhhhhh!!!"

When Simone Pepe stabbed this kick, it wasn't the kind of group Buddha who just went forward casually to avoid Skrtel.If he wants to make a penalty, he can do it. After poking the ball, he will definitely not be able to catch up. Then he can drag his leg behind and hang on Skrtel's leg, big He yelled and fell to the ground... In doing so, the penalty kick is almost guaranteed.

This is the surest way to score goals.

But Simone Pepe didn't do that. He didn't seem to think about making a penalty at all. He just gently moved the football forward, not far from him, and just enough to avoid Skrtel. shovel cut.

Then he stepped over Skrtel's shoveled leg, and caught up with the football in one stride!
He has already faced the attacking Mignolet alone, this is a single sword!

Everyone's breath was held as they watched what happened near the penalty spot inside the Liverpool penalty area.

Mignolet struck out in time again. He has played the role of Liverpool's savior countless times in this game, and this time, all the hopes of Liverpool fans can only be pinned on him!
He blocks in the close corner, and if Simone Pepe wants to shoot, he can block the angle as much as possible.And if there is no first shot, as long as there is a little hesitation, he can drive Simeone Pepe to the bottom line, compressing Simeone Pepe's shooting and dribbling space, and minimizing his threat .

Simone Pepe, who was catching up with the football, did take a slight step forward diagonally. It seems that Mignolet's defensive strategy was successful.

But at this moment, Simone Pepe kicked!

His left foot kicked the football in the opposite direction!
The swing of the kick was not large, there was almost no warning, it was very sudden, so the force of the kick was not very strong.Logically speaking, this was a failed shot. How could such a weak shot pose a threat?

But Simone Pepe's kick is very good. The good thing is that the direction of his shot is the opposite direction of his own running position, and it is also the opposite direction of Mignolet's focus on defense.

The football rolled against the turf from Mignolet's side to his back, because suddenly, Mignolet couldn't make any reaction at all, he could only "death struggle" with his legs dragging behind, but It was just a symbolic struggle, but in fact it was impossible to touch the football at all.

The football is not fast, over Mignolet, and rolls towards the goal behind him.

Due to inertia, Mignolet's whole body was in a state of "stiffness" at this time. If he wanted to turn around and pounce again, his brain was fine, but his body did not obey orders.

So in a slightly weird scene, the football slowly but firmly rolled into Liverpool's goal...

"Lore! Simeone's lore!! This goal is really beautiful!! The shot is as light as weightlifting. Although it is not powerful, the effect is surprisingly good! Ahhh! Simeone!!! In the 115 minutes of the game At that time, he regained the lead for Juventus! This is a fatal blow for Liverpool!"

After the goal, Simone Pepe was very excited. He opened his arms, accelerated to the sideline, then slid and knelt, and then stood up while taking advantage of the inertia. Just in front of the sideline, he waved to the Juventus fans in the stands fist.

Other teammates also ran up to celebrate the goal with Simone Pepe.

Throughout the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Juventus fans cheered and applauded.

Although there are still 15 minutes left in the game, all Juventus fans want to take a reassurance, and feel that the victory of this game is stable, very stable.

Liverpool was hit by this, and their morale was seriously low. How could it be possible to fight against the high-morale Juventus?
What awaits them next is a big crash!

The Liverpool fans in the stands covered their heads with their hands or covered their faces, looking very frustrated and painful.

Conceding a goal in overtime can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back...

He Wei in the commentary booth felt a great sense of loss, but he still had to keep up his spirits and continue to explain: "At the end of the first half of extra time, Liverpool was scored by Juventus, Simone Pepe... In this game, he repeatedly missed opportunities for single-handed shots, but at this moment he proved himself... This is a solo ride that combines speed and wisdom. When it came to Ole, he was very smart to choose a clever shot instead of rounding and retreating a strong volley-in that case, this shot is likely to make Mignolet again..."

During the explanation, He Wei wanted to sigh.

Simone Pepe has completed self-salvation and performed perfectly in this attack, but this also means that Lin Yi is getting farther and farther away from his Champions League goal.

As a Chinese commentator, I certainly don't want to see my compatriots return with regrets.
