Strong Waist

Chapter 124 The ultimate confrontation between body and spirit

Everyone formed a circle around the coaching staff, their chests rising and falling violently, and they could feel the burning in their lungs.

Even the air he inhaled was like razor blades scraping his chest.

My throat felt hot, and my heart ached a little.

These are all telling them that their physical fitness is on the verge of exhaustion.

Bayern Munich's players have lost the ability to speak at this time, and they are trying to rest as much as possible.

When they think about the 30 minutes left in the game, they feel extremely anxious.

On the one hand, he is concerned about the intensity of the competition, and on the other hand, he is worried about whether he can maintain his condition in such a fierce competition.

Even Mueller was missing his usual show-offs and was lying quietly on the ground.

“Guys, we need to keep our spirits up, we need to have an attitude!”

"We need to understand if this is the last great moment in our careers!"

The head coach is still cheering the players on to help boost their morale.

The game has reached this level, and tactics are really not that important anymore.

Courage to fight, performance at critical moments, physical fitness to continue the game, tenacity, etc.

These are the most important things right now.

On the stage of the Champions League final, and even in overtime, every player will face physical and psychological limits. Whether they can withstand this pressure has become the key.

On the other side, Arsenal's situation is almost the same.

However, compared to Bayern players, Arsenal players remained seated more often.

For example, Lucai put his hands around his knees and let the trainer massage his legs.

He didn't lie down. Being too relaxed would cause the body to become rigid, which is not conducive to the overtime period.

At the same time, compared to others, Lucai's physical fitness is still good, so his situation is relatively easy.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Lucky is easy.

After all, when the competition reaches this level, everyone's situation is the same. They have to grit their teeth and persevere.

"Can't give the ball away!"

Lucky gasped and said: "This has been proven in the second half. We cannot play too passively. We must have enough initiative in the midfield so that we can contain the opponent's offense and at the same time threaten the opponent."

Lucky's words made Mourinho nod slightly.

As players on the court, they have the most say.

After hearing Lucky's suggestions, Mourinho also made tactical adjustments within a certain range.

He is not a dictatorial person and he also listens to suggestions.

The players were preparing nervously, and fans from both sides in the stands were constantly cheering to cheer for their teams.

At this time, Lisbon's Stadium of Light has become a boiling stage.

The 90-minute main game is over and 30 minutes of overtime are about to begin.

The match trophy is extended to 120 minutes and even a penalty shootout.

This is a tough test for both teams.

"Both sides are working intensively on overtime tactics. Judging from the previous 90 minutes of the game, both Arsenal and Bayern Munich have played with their own styles and characteristics."

"But what surprised us was Bayern Munich's tenacity in the game. They fell behind twice and equalized twice, which also pushed the game into overtime."

"In the next 30 minutes, can Bayern Munich continue to use its own characteristics and come back to win the game? Or will Arsenal completely kill the suspense of the game?"

"This is a confrontation between two top European clubs from England and Germany!"

"They are all working hard to get to the top of Europe."

At this moment, the referee in the arena blew his whistle to signal the gathering.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray also shouted loudly: "Okay! We saw the referee blowing the whistle and gathering, and the players from both sides got up and poured into the court again. Overtime is about to begin."

"This is the stage for the UEFA Champions League final of the 2019/2020 season, between Arsenal and Bayern Munich!"

"After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the score between the two teams is now 2:2. The two teams have dragged the game into overtime. This means that the next game will inevitably become more intense and dangerous. Any goal can end the game."

"And in this confrontation between physical fitness and will, how will the two teams perform?"

Along with the commentator's words, Bayern Munich forward Lewandowski stepped on the ball and stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

After the referee blew his whistle, the first half of overtime officially began.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The cheers at the scene were extremely fierce, and in response to this cheers, Bayern Munich took the lead in launching an attack.

Their offense became more concise, no longer attacking the wings as before, and then making large-scale shifts.

Instead, the fast horse on the wing will take the ball all the way to the baseline, and then complete the cross to start a battle for the top in the middle.

Lewandowski has become the core player of Bayern Munich's offense.

However, after Arsenal replaced the central defender, the physically energetic De Ligt showed his defensive talents in the game. He suppressed Lewandowski, who consumed a lot of physical energy, and became Arsenal's aerial dominance!

"De Ligt! Beautiful, he didn't give Lewandowski a chance at all!"

"When Bayern wanted to fight for the top with a simple cross, they may have forgotten that Arsenal also had a young central defender from the Netherlands. He took Hummels's position and became Arsenal's protection in the air. god!"

After De Ligt shook his head to clear the ball, he loudly reminded his teammates.

His voice was very exciting, and it also inspired the emotions of his teammates.

Amid this roar, Arsenal also withstood the first offensive threat and put the ball at their feet.

The ball came to Lucky's feet. His choice was simple and he passed it directly to Odegaard.

Odegaard scored to Eriksen.

Although at this time, the faster Mane is a more reasonable advancement point.

But Mane's physical energy consumption is too great, and there is no need to let Mane perform this kind of sprint every time.

After Eriksen's appropriate consumption, he passed the ball to Mane and exploded at the critical moment. This is the most threatening pass.

At this time, Odegaard's thinking was also very clear.

I don't know if it was due to the Champions League final, but Odegaard felt that his body was lighter than usual, and his head was also unusually clear.

Every time he touches the ball, every observation and even every attack he initiates, he is extremely clear.

He knows how to handle this kind of ball, which makes Odegaard's performance even better.

"Odegaard performed well."

Even Arteta clapped his hands and applauded off the field.

Mourinho nodded slightly and said: "Odegaard benefited from his teammates. He felt that he played easily. A large part of the reason was that the physical fitness of the Bayern Munich players had dropped too much. Without the fierce pressing and confrontation, he naturally Feeling relaxed."

"But this is also the picture we want. In this case, can Odegaard sort out threatening attacks for Arsenal? This is very critical."

Mourinho places great hopes on Odegaard.

It is hoped that this young player can become a dark horse in the overtime period of the Champions League final.

The game time came to 8 minutes. Suddenly, Odegaard turned around to meet the ball and transferred the ball to Mane on the other side.

After Mane lurked for 8 minutes, he met the ball again and started sprinting.

Yes!

Mane's speed is the key, and in such stalemate moments, this simple and crude speed is often better than any breakthrough.

Sure enough, after Mane started to speed up, Kimmich on his side also lowered his head and rushed forward.

But no matter how hard Kimmich tried to swing his arms, his feet were too heavy to move.

In the end, he could only watch as Mane got further and further away from him.

"Assist in defense!!!"

Finally, Kimmich couldn't help but roar.

"Danger!!"

The commentator also shouted: "With Mane's breakthrough from the wing, is Bayern's physical fitness going to collapse?"

At this time, Mane had accelerated twice and passed Boateng.

Mane's heart was extremely hot, and he felt that he could complete the winning goal.

But the moment he completely wiped Boateng's head up, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Neuer didn't know when he was lying on his side to save, grabbed the ball firmly with both hands, and quickly bent his waist to protect the ball.

Under the force of this force, Mane rolled forward twice and finally fell to the ground.

Arsenal's attack failed to complete the shot.
