Chapter 178 Painful Overtime

winter!

!

Kanter and Cross collided, and they both fell to the ground, but at the same time they got up and continued to fight.

Cross's absence from making any extraordinary moves is not because he doesn't want to do it, but because he really can't do it.

Kanter has also become extremely cautious and no longer shoots randomly. He knows very well that once he stretches out his foot and is passed by the opponent, he will not be able to adjust his body.

The overtime period is not only a physical test, but also a mental test.

After 90 minutes of the main match, the players from both sides were almost exhausted in terms of physical fitness and energy. At this time, the only thing that could support them was a little bit of perseverance.

In this case, any goal can overturn the outcome of the game.

For this reason, they all seemed extremely careful.

Not only the players, but also the fans in the stands became a lot quieter at this time.

The 90,000 Real Madrid fans are also looking anxiously at the stadium. The game is now going on, which is also a test for their hearts.

In this difficult environment, any breakthrough and any extraordinary performance are extremely crucial.

Of course, that's assuming they can do it.

Now it is difficult for Real Madrid players to perform this kind of dribble.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo no longer shows personal heroism and passes the ball more to teammates in exchange for his own running space.

But even so, Kanter still followed Ronaldo.

Sometimes, Ronaldo wants to throw Kanter on his back!

This was already overtime, and this guy never relaxed his defense.

Arsenal's defense is under great pressure.

Real Madrid's defensive pressure is equally great.

Currently, both sides have one substitution quota.

They all need to operate this substitution quota carefully.

Zidane prefers to replace Casemiro to further ensure defense.

Mourinho, on the other hand, is caught in a tangle.

Between Lukaku and Koscielny, he needs to make a choice.

Sending Lukaku to play will undoubtedly help Arsenal increase their offensive performance, but can Lukaku score goals?

Based on Lukaku's previous performance, Mourinho feels that this is not a realistic problem.

When Koscielny was replaced, he decided to defend and drag the game into a penalty shootout.

However, Mourinho was somewhat unwilling to put the outcome of the game on half-and-half luck such as a penalty shootout.

But he had to make a choice.

The competition in the arena continues.

Players from both sides fight against each other.

Fifteen minutes isn't long, but it's not short either.

When the players from both sides entered the last five minutes, their physical fitness had reached the absolute limit, and many players had problems with their running posture.

The only two players who are pretty good are Real Madrid's Bale and Arsenal's Aubameyang.

Bell came on as a substitute, so he has a certain amount of physical energy reserves.

Aubameyang "stole some slack" in the middle of the game, so he was able to run normally.

But this is not good news for the defensive players on the wings where these two people are located.

Both Robertson and Marcelo felt as if lava was rolling in their chests, and their lungs were swollen to the point of exploding.

If there is still room for substitutions, they can't wait for the head coach to replace them immediately.

Robertson's face had begun to turn pale, and his lips were slightly blue.

Marcelo also kept licking his lips. Although he couldn't see much change, it could be seen from his expression that he was also extremely uncomfortable.

Just when both sides were still considering the next step, the whistle suddenly sounded.

Foul?

Everyone looked up subconsciously.

The moment I raised my head, my eyes felt dizzy under the light from the dome.

After taking a few deep breaths to relieve their symptoms, they realized that the first half of the fifteen-minute overtime was over.

"It's so fast!"

gasped Robertson.

Lucky was also panting rapidly and didn't even respond.

Others also lost the strength to speak.

They walked straight to the coaching bench and sat down directly in front of the coach.

Now they don't have the energy to go back to the locker room.

Recuperate as much as possible on the field.

Sit down one by one.

Players unscrew the level and dump it directly on their heads to give their hot heads a little break.

During the player rest period, the coaching teams of both sides were also having intense discussions.

Only fifteen minutes left.

The problem now is not just overtime, they also have to consider the penalty shootout.

After all, if there is no winner in the next 15 minutes, it will enter a penalty shootout.

For this, they all need to be prepared.

The goalkeepers of both sides have been called to the head coach's side, and seeing this scene, the commentator on the commentary desk also sighed:

"At this stage of the game, many things have to be considered, especially the final penalty shootout. Maybe the game will really be dragged into a penalty shootout!"

"In this Champions League semi-final, both sides played an excellent game, and the final outcome will probably require a penalty shootout to decide!"

"Of course this is extremely cruel to fans on both sides!"

"After all, being eliminated after losing the penalty shootout will hit them harder."

The narrator's words were broadcast across the UK via television sets.

In the training base in Liverpool, England.

The entire Liverpool team is also watching this tight Champions League final.

"It feels like these guys can barely breathe, but they can still run!"

"I've fought to the limit, and it's the same on both sides!"

"Arsenal did a good job of restricting Ronaldo. If it weren't for Benzema's sudden burst, Arsenal might have won the game more easily!"

"Kai's shot was so despairing. If I were a Real Madrid fan, I would be dying of pain at that moment!"

Chen Man looked at Lucky, who was sweating profusely in the camera.

At this time, Lucai's face was also pale, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and there was no clean spot on the entire jersey.

In the past, Chen Man always liked to compare with Lucai. He always thought that he was better.

But after watching this game, the pressure given to him by Lucai was too strong.

"This guy is really like a monster!"

After Chen Man finished speaking, Chamberlain nodded: "He's always been like this!"

The two looked at each other and sighed.

These two teams will definitely have their opponents in the Champions League final.

Whether it is Real Madrid or Arsenal, judging from their performance in this game, they will not have it easy.

Klopp saw the expressions of the players in his eyes, and seemed to be complaining and marveling, but what these guys showed was not fear, but a sense of excitement that was eager to try.

This is very good news for Liverpool.

Back on the field.

The five-minute break is short.

Arsenal and Real Madrid are back in the game again.

In the second half of overtime, Real Madrid took the lead.

Real Madrid caught Arsenal off guard after kick-off.

The sudden sneak attack almost prevented Arsenal from keeping up.

Fortunately, Benzema made a mistake when stopping the ball and failed to stop the first kick. When he tried to control the second kick, Lucky had already felt and completed the restriction.

Under Lucky's restrictions, Arsenal also successfully retreated and filled the loopholes again.

Real Madrid missed a chance to shoot, which made them feel extremely helpless.

After all, during this period, any shot is extremely valuable.

Arsenal stabilized their defense, and after resolving the crisis, they became more cautious.

Of course, they did not give up attacking.

However, Arsenal no longer uses long passes to play behind the ball. Even if Lucky can pass the ball, his teammates cannot catch up.

At the beginning of overtime, Arsenal and Real Madrid made substitutions.

For Real Madrid, Kovacic comes off and Casemiro comes on.

Arsenal, Saka comes off and Koscielny comes on.

Real Madrid pursues stability, while Arsenal focuses more on defense.

Koscielny will appear in the defensive midfielder position, and his task is to defend when Lucky comes forward.

But for now, Lucky will hardly risk stepping forward, so Arsenal is equivalent to a five-back position.

At the same time, cooperate with the sweep of the double midfielder.

This also means that Arsenal may have decided to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

Seeing Arsenal's actions, Real Madrid also thought about launching an attack.

But they also discovered a problem, that is, they really couldn't run.
