Chapter 778 Overtime

The Juventus fans fell into a frenzy this time. Anna held Zhang Yufei with one hand and jumped up and down in the stands with a happy smile. The joy in her heart was beyond words.

The distressed faces of Agnelli and other high-level executives instantly turned into laughing cakes. Agnelli raised his hands and gave John Elkann a high five who came to watch the game. Juventus came back from the brink of death.

Needless to say, Conte, he hugged Alessio and others and danced in a circle!
As for Zhang Yuan, he has been telling himself that he will succeed, and when the success comes, he also needs to vent his heart. He rushed to the corner kick area, kicked the corner kick flagpole, and then knelt on the grass, shouting loudly. Roar and shout.

His teammates didn't care that much, they ran towards him in a swarm, pinning him down tightly.

It took a long time for everyone to get up, and Zhang Yuan regained his composure.

"We can still score, we can still score! End the battle within 90 minutes and win the championship trophy!"

The morale of the Juventus players was high. Zhang Yuan stood up and blew a kiss gesture to the stand where Anna and the others were.

This goal hit Dortmund hard, but their experience is better than this Juventus. After all, they have participated in the Champions League for two consecutive terms, and many Juventus players only have this season's experience.

Klopp also regained his composure. He continued to cheer the players on. After the re-kick-off, Dortmund did not panic like Juventus just now.

Returning to the starting line, the lesson just now made Klopp even more distrustful of his defense, so that you can let your opponent score? !
Therefore, after Dortmund kicked off, they simply played their best offense, and substituting offense for defense was the most correct choice.

Their offensive was very fierce, which surprised Conte. After all, there is not much time left, and Klopp's defense will be even bigger.

The morale of Juventus is indeed very high, but facing Dortmund, who knows the shame and is brave, it is even difficult to play the best ball possession at the beginning. In fact, many of them don't understand that Dortmund's style of play itself costs a lot of time Physical fitness, but they are young, the average age is much younger than Juventus, and they are used to such unremitting running throughout the court.

Their advantage became more obvious at the end, and Klopp also wanted to take advantage of this advantage. As expected, Juventus could only be exhausted under Dortmund's high-intensity running.

Conte quickly understood the situation, and immediately gave Juventus instructions to retreat and counterattack. Zhang Yuan stood alone at the front, and Pogba and others completely retreated to their own half.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan knew that it would be quite difficult to resolve the battle within 90 minutes. He thought Dortmund would not give him too much space.

As he expected, Klopp is not that stupid, and the offensive looks fierce, but Dortmund is as easily unwilling to lose the ball as Juventus. Obviously they are also preparing for overtime.

Dortmund's midfield control is not strong, but Klopp uses the high-intensity running of the players to create more points to respond to make up for this weakness. The effect is really good. Juventus only focuses on defense. As long as you don't It is easy to say anything about moving the ball to the front of the penalty area, which also caused Dortmund to completely occupy the advantage in possession of the ball in the final stage.

With such a tacit understanding, stoppage time ended, Marienko blew the whistle, and the game was about to enter overtime without any suspense.

Conte had been thinking about substitutions when he decided to play overtime, but he has not figured out how to do so until now. The reason why he always puts Zhang Yuan at the forefront is because he has the ability to create surprises and can The final word is that always letting him retreat not only consumes a lot of his physical energy, but also keeps him away from the penalty area, so it is not cost-effective, so Conte let Pogba play the midfielder and let Zhang Yuan play the lone striker.

Now if there is a substitution, Zhang Yuan will drop back and play the second striker, which may ensure the control of the midfielder, but it will keep him away from the penalty area. If there is no accident, Conte Thinking that Dortmund will still have the upper hand, it is obviously uneconomical for Zhang Yuan to frequently return to his own half to participate in defense.

So Conte was very entangled. There were several forwards on the bench, but none of them reassured Conte. The gap between them and Zhang Yuan was a bit far.

Conte had no choice but to ask everyone one by one to see how their physical condition was. Pirlo definitely couldn't be replaced, whether in the backcourt or in the midfield, his role was obvious, no matter how tired Pirlo was, he couldn't be replaced. Vidal can't be changed either, his interception ability is very strong.

Marchisio seems to be able to adjust, Pogba is young, he can play Marchisio's position.

After asking around, Pogba's physical condition is the worst. No wonder he is the one who goes up and down the most frequently. He may be the one with the longest running distance in Juventus today.

The one with the best physical condition is Zhang Yuan. Apparently, Conte's tactical arrangement has saved him a lot of physical energy. He doesn't have to be in a state of high tension all the time like the back line, and he runs relatively less in the frontcourt.

Conte began to adjust. He decided to adopt defensive counterattack tactics in overtime. Only Zhang Yuan was not enough on the front line. He replaced Pogba with Vucinic and let Vucinic play as the second striker. Zhang Yuan Still as a center forward.

In terms of details, he is uncharacteristically, allowing the midfielder to pass more balls and high balls to the frontcourt. There are now two points in the frontcourt. Anyway, you have to try it. This is the most direct way. Maybe Dortmund will still make mistakes. , Juventus can end the suspense in the fastest and easiest way.

Klopp also deeply realized that maybe Dortmund should not give up the traditional way of attacking instead of defending. Maybe it would have ended the game long ago. The extra time was just as Conte expected. He decided to continue to exert pressure. This time it will not Putting on airs like the epilogue, he will use Dortmund's relentless running to destroy Juventus' defensive barriers in overtime.

After a short break, players from both sides returned to the pitch, Juventus made only one adjustment, Vucinic replaced Pogba, while Dortmund, Klopp made two substitutions , Shaheen replaced Sven. Bender, and Scibel replaced Blaszczykowski.

Siebel is a striker with a tall stature. Klopp adjusted the team's formation to 442 positions. Siebel and Lewandowski partnered to play double centers. Royce returned to the wing. This is mandatory. Sexually want to attack the core of Juventus, the intention is obvious.

After the start of overtime, as expected, Dortmund did nothing but made a fuss on the wing, basically ignoring the middle lane, using the boldness of the full-back to insert, frequently trying to create a pass on the wing, let the penalty area The inner double center went to grab points.

Where is it so easy? Juventus played 352. Three central defenders hoarded in the penalty area. The tactics are a bit wishful for Juventus.

After playing for 5 minutes, Dortmund did not even make a successful cross. Klopp's tactical arrangement was not considered a success.

The only good thing is that although their crosses failed, they still have the advantage in possession of the ball. Lichtsteiner and Asamoah's interceptions are mainly destructive, and there are not many opportunities for big feet to move forward.

But all this turned around in the 100th minute. After Royce and Schmelzer proposed to cooperate frequently, they made a pass from the bottom. , but was cleared by Bonucci. After Vidal got the ball outside the penalty area, he gave it back to Pirlo. Pirlo didn't even think about it.

His long pass is very powerful, but the landing point is very accurate. This is Pirlo's specialty. It is not difficult for ordinary players to pass such a ball without any threat. It's hard to pass the ball like that.

Pirlo can do it, this pass is good ahead of time, Zhang Yuan starts quickly, Hummels follows him very closely, but the speed is always slow, Zhang Yuan stops the ball, he Just arrived.

Zhang Yuan took advantage of the momentum, passed Hummels, and went directly to Dortmund's penalty area. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's physical loss today is not so bad, although he still has strong control over the ball. Hummels This time he made no mistake and pulled Zhang Yuan down behind him.
