Start from 1999

Chapter 265 Devil's Schedule ([-])

Among them, Huntelaar took a step back, and then immediately took a shot. The ball went straight into the goal without any hindrance this time!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Go in! Go in! Go in! It's the Dutch teenager Chris Jan Huntelaar! The cooperation of this corner kick is wonderful. Adrian didn't take credit for it. At this critical moment, he chose to pass the ball instead of shooting. The game is coming to an end. Do Juventus still have a chance? I don't think so!"

Riddle roared excitedly.

Of course, Huntelaar is more excited. He can score in the first UEFA Champions League game. This is simply a fantastic start.

Huntelaar just ran and ran mechanically, not knowing how to vent his excitement, while his teammates chased and chased after him, which looked a little funny.Even the fans in the stands couldn't help laughing, this Huntelaar is a rookie, he doesn't know how to pose for a goal.

Nick walked back to the half court slowly, reminiscing about the goal just now. Ronaldinho's consciousness is indeed world-class. Borussia Mönchengladbach's corner kick tactics now have a new one. Who said that small people can't grab points?Iliye did a good job. This kind of calmness in front of the goal can only be achieved by a mature shooter.

Now the score is 2:3, Juventus did not seem to hold the tie, now they are finished, because the game time is almost up.

Seeing the Borussia Mönchengladbach players still celebrating their goals endlessly, Ancelotti on the sidelines became a little annoyed. He rushed to the fourth official and pointed at his watch.

"There is no time. They are still celebrating. Are the fans at the Alpi Stadium here to watch them perform and run?"

The fourth official hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, the referee will give enough time for stoppage time."

"I hope." Ancelotti reluctantly sat back on his coach's bench, looked at the players around him, and replaced Del Piero and Inzaghi in succession. This is a good move. If he wants to equalize the score, he has to change to a forward.

But there is no striker to change. Ancelotti thought to himself that it would be great if Trezeguet could play. After joining Juventus during the winter break, this guy scored 7 goals in three consecutive Serie A games. Unfortunately, he was unable to play in the Champions League.

After the game restarted, Juventus launched a desperate attack. Losing at home is unacceptable for them.

Borussia Mönchengladbach naturally retreated with all their strength, and Nick held tightly to the center, allowing Juventus to make a fuss on the two sides.

Time passed too quickly, Juventus players repeatedly made crosses, but Kovacevic was completely frozen by Metzelder.

The 90 minutes of regular time had come, and the fourth official on the sidelines held up a sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time, leaving Juventus running out of time.

But Juventus's offense was weak. In the 91st minute, Kovacevic failed to compete with Metzelder for a header in the penalty area. Kovacevic suddenly made a concealed elbow, and Metzelder screamed and fell on the lawn.

red card!

The referee ran over to Kovacevic to make an appearance. The referee had no choice but to call out this foul move. After all, right under his nose, Metzelder's head was also bleeding.

Kovacevic walked off the court with a gloomy face. He was very uncomfortable being pushed by Metzelder, but although this elbow relieved his anger, he also paid a heavy price. This also made Kovacevic's career in Juventus very optimistic.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's team doctor rushed into the field and dealt with Metzelder, who was then replaced by Asanen.

Juventus, with 10 players, had no choice at this time. The midfielder couldn't break through, and the striker had no one to respond.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the Mönchengladbach players cheered and won the away game, which is very beneficial to Mönchengladbach's situation in the entire group.

At the post-match press conference, Karl took Nick and Huntelaar to attend, Huntelaar scored the winning goal, and Karl gave him the reward.

At the beginning of the press conference, "Turin Sports Daily" reporter De Santis took the lead in attacking Ancelotti.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ancelotti, Juventus suddenly retreated across the board in the second half. Is this what you mean or what the players mean?"

"There are always changes on the football field. We need to defend and counterattack. Unfortunately we lost the game, but this is only the first game (the second round of the Champions League group stage). The team still has 5 rounds to play. I don't think Juventus can't qualify from this group."

Although Ancelotti lost the game, he was still not soft-spoken.

DeSantis added: "Darko Kovacevic did nothing but receive a red card after he came on the field. What do you have to say about this substitution?"

"It's not fair. Players shouldn't take responsibility for the loss. Darko restrained the opponent very well. His role is obvious."

Ancelotti still gave Kovacevic good protection.

DeSantis wanted to ask again, but the host motioned him to pass the microphone to Shizuko Matsushita.

Matsushita Shizuko was very happy that her boyfriend's team won again. She asked with a smile on her face: "Coach Carl, what do you think of the team scoring 3 points in the away game? Will the team easily qualify from this group? Also, how do you evaluate Luo Luo's performance? Thank you!"

"I'm very happy to get out of the Alpi Stadium. Juventus is a team with outstanding strength. Their defense is very good, but the players did it. The next opponent will be Barcelona, ​​which is another very strong team. We will continue to carry forward our style and strive to get out of the Camp Nou. As for Rollo, he is getting used to European football more and more. His talent is fascinating. Miss reporter, don't you do the same?"

Carl was eloquent, and finally teased Shizuko Matsushita, and the audience burst into good-natured laughter.

Subsequently, Rom, a reporter from the Dutch "Republic Daily", began to ask Huntelaar questions.

"Hi Chris, you scored in your first UEFA Champions League game, how do you feel at this moment? Do you have the confidence to enter the Dutch national team?"

"I am very happy to help the team win. To be honest, I was not ready to score, but when the opportunity came, I was very glad that my mind was clear. This goal gave me a sense of existence. I will work hard and strive to enter the Dutch national team as soon as possible." Huntelaar has come out of the excitement of scoring. Facing the media, he returned very fluently.

Lauren was the last to ask, and her question was for Nick to answer.

"Hi Nick, first of all congratulations to Borussia Mönchengladbach on their away victory. This is a good start. I want to ask you whether Borussia Mönchengladbach is confident to break out of this group and go all the way to the San Siro Stadium?"

"Thank you, beautiful Lauren! There is no doubt that Borussia Mönchengladbach has become a force to be reckoned with in European football. We can play beautiful football. We have a group of talented players. It is not easy to qualify from this group. Of course, the same is true of other opponents. We need to reduce mistakes. Of course, if we can go to the San Siro final venue, who can say no?" Nick replied with a smile.

Borussia Mönchengladbach has indeed become a new force in European football. The UEFA Champions League has repeatedly staged "giant killers". Borussia Mönchengladbach already has the potential to become a giant.

After the game, the German media already regarded Borussia Mönchengladbach as a team competing for honor in the Bundesliga just like Bayern.

"Kicker" said: Carl's team is advancing steadily, Borussia Mönchengladbach has grown up, and this team that is constantly changing players still maintains this strong combat effectiveness. Captain Nick is undoubtedly the cornerstone of a stable team.

"Bild" believes that: Borussia Mönchengladbach's away victory over Serie A team Juventus makes German fans happy. This big international team will bring great help to the German national team. The future rise and fall of German football depends largely on Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Although this is a bit too much, Borussia Mönchengladbach is indeed qualified to be proud.

The Italian media felt sorry for Juventus' defeat, but they all aimed at coach Ancelotti, thinking that his passive defense was the reason for Juventus' defeat.

Juventus has also been suppressed by Roma in the league this season. If Ancelotti does not come up with some tricks, I am afraid that the coaching position will be difficult to secure.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage was uneventful, with strong teams passing through one after another. In another match in Group C where Borussia Mönchengladbach was located, Barcelona defeated Paris Saint-Germain led by Okocha 1-0 in an away game. Rivaldo scored a long shot before the end of the game to help Barcelona win.

In the middle of next week, the two winning teams will meet at Camp Nou. Whoever can get 3 points will undoubtedly occupy a commanding height in Group C!
