our champion dream

Chapter 166 Situation
Under the command of Mourinho, Inter Milan has temporarily returned to defense. Their marking of Manchester United is very tight, tighter than before.Li Xiaoming can also feel the pressure that Inter Milan puts on his players, let alone passing and shooting, it is difficult for him to catch the ball.

However, because Inter Milan has invested a lot of energy in defense, the threat in offense is naturally not as good as before.

And whether it is Ferguson or Mourinho, they are faintly aware that it is somewhat impossible to end the game within 10 minutes.

So after entering stoppage time, the two teams finally made substitutions.

The first is Inter Milan, who replaced Pandorf with midfielder Muntari.

This is to strengthen the hardness of the midfield.

Ferguson did not intend to entangle with Inter Milan until the end of the 120-minute game and then hit a penalty.Although he is prepared to play a penalty kick, but if he can avoid a penalty shoot-out, who would like to hand himself over to a fate that is both impermanent and teasing?
So Manchester United also made substitutions afterwards, but they only changed one person.

A matchup substitution was made at the full-back position, replacing Nani, who performed well in this field, and replacing veteran Ryan Giggs.At this time, Ferguson paid more attention to Lao Jiang's experience.

"Both teams are preparing for overtime..."

Sky England commentator Martin Taylor said upon seeing this.

~
Generally speaking, when both teams are preparing for overtime, everyone always expects some surprises, especially those who stay up late to watch the game.
They all hope that Manchester United can reverse the lore of Inter Milan, as they often do.

Now I turned my head to look at the sky outside the window, it was still dark.But if there is going to be overtime or even a penalty shootout, it should be dawn outside after the game is over.After staying up all night, some of them couldn't stand it anymore.

But in the final stage of the game, the two teams were calm.After 10 and 10 minutes of confrontation, the players of the two teams also felt tired. Since the head coach conveyed the idea of ​​a decisive battle in overtime through substitutions, the players naturally did not It is necessary to fight so hard, what if you fail to win, and you exhaust your last bit of strength, and you crash directly in the [-]-minute overtime game?
And we must be careful to guard against the opponent's final lore, and the defense cannot be slack.

This resulted in the fact that neither of the last two teams threatened the opponent's goal.

The 4-minute stoppage time quickly came to an end, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 10-minute game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Regular time is over! The game will enter three 10-minute overtime! Although the two teams only scored one goal in the score, the number of goals is slightly less. But this does not affect the excitement and intensity of the game scene ...This is the most exciting and highest-level Champions League final we have seen in recent years. In these 10 minutes, the two teams dedicated us to a very intense and intense confrontation, and the two sides played very openly , without reservation! And while attacking, their defense also maintained a very high degree of concentration, especially the two goalkeepers Cesar and Neuer, they contributed a very exciting game." He Ping praised Said.

"Thanks to the two teams, Manchester United and Inter Milan. They have shown the world the highest level of European football duel, and it is also the highest level of European football duel!" Martin Taylor boasted even more, because Manchester United is their own national team after all. When he praises the team, he praises his English football.You must know that in Europe, the high level of the Premier League has not brought England a good reputation, because England's performance in the competition is not good.

In their comments, players from both teams walked to the sidelines and took a short break. According to the rules, they only have 5 minutes to rest before extra time, which is far from enough time for them to go back to the locker room, so just Sit down directly on the sidelines.

The team doctors and physical therapists of the two teams are taking the time to massage the players and relax their muscles.After fighting for nine and 10 minutes, everyone's physical energy consumption was very high.Then there are three 10-minute overtime games. If the physical fitness can't keep up, it will collapse.

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!"

Inter Milan paid special attention to the players to pay attention to controlling the rhythm during overtime. If Manchester United wants to attack, then don't attack them. This is the time. Without physical support, attacking is courting death.The reason why they were able to attack Inter Milan before was entirely because the entire Inter Milan team was still able to run.

Their opponent, this Manchester United team, except for Li Xiaoming, has reached the Champions League final for the third time, and has a lot of experience in participating in the Champions League final.

And what about Inter Milan?This team has no final experience, and none of the team has participated in the Champions League final.

In terms of experience, it will inevitably be inferior to Manchester United.At the last moment, the fight is both willpower and experience.

In this regard, Manchester United has the upper hand.

On the Manchester United side, at the end of the rest time, Klopp squatted on the ground, patted Li Xiaoming who was lying on the ground enjoying a massage, looked around at the Manchester United players in front of him and said: "I am proud of you , lads. Logically speaking, I can't ask for more, but I still want to ask you to go all out to win this championship and leave our name in history forever! We are Manchester United and we fight for the Red Devils. war."

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

Ferguson 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.

Hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed that these players were not on the court, but... a battlefield filled with gunpowder.

"Viewers friends, you are welcome to follow the TV signal back to the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid and watch the first half of the overtime match of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League final. After nine and 10 minutes of fighting, the Premier League overlord Manchester United and the Serie A giants Inter Milan. It was a 1:1 draw, and it was impossible to decide the winner within 10 minutes. If there is no way to decide the score in overtime, the game will enter the most brutal and fierce penalty shootout..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the first half of extra time, it was Inter Milan who kicked off.

They took advantage of the kick-off and took the opportunity to attack Manchester United's goal very quickly.

Wave after wave, Manchester United 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.

It is now obvious that in the first half, Inter Milan took the initiative to attack after getting the kick-off, while Manchester United fell into a defensive position.

Inter Milan's idea is to strive to take the lead in 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, Inter Milan launched an attack.Eto'o made a surprise attack with the ball. After cutting inside, he sent a through ball.

Sneijder caught the ball forward, but due to his declining physical fitness, he couldn't raise his speed. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching and the goal was still far away, he couldn't guarantee the success rate of the shot, so he staggered and sent the football to the side Go, and Diego Milito is there, 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 Manchester United fans.During this period of time, Inter Milan's offensive has become increasingly fierce, and many people are really worried that their team will not be able to withstand it.

Inter Milan continued to bombard Manchester United's goal indiscriminately.

No.908 minutes, they got a corner kick.Sneijder took a corner kick, and Van der Sar, who was attacked, beat it out with his hands.

But the football landed outside the box and didn't fly far.After Muntari, who had just played, stopped the football, he kicked a long shot...hit high!

In 1 minute, Inter Milan made an attack from the right. Maicon dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed the football back near the baseline. Milito in the penalty area was originally unmarked, and he also swung his foot to shoot. But when the football did roll, he feinted and let the football slip through his crotch!
This was really beyond the expectations of Dortmund's defensive players. They could only watch helplessly as the football was missed to the top of the penalty arc, where Sneijder 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 Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar once again performed bravely. He threw himself sideways and blocked Sneijder's heavy shot from the bottom line with both fists!
"Sneijder's shot! Van der Sarbanks-style save! World-class save! During this period of time, Inter Milan's offensive is very fierce, and Manchester United's front door is jittery and precarious..."

Many people saw this scene in their hearts, and couldn't help thinking that if this continues, maybe Inter Milan's goal will appear soon...

In the first half of overtime, Inter Milan basically besieged Manchester United. Manchester United didn't even have a shot.

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

Especially Manchester United'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...

In the first half of overtime, it was basically Inter Milan besieging Manchester United. Manchester United didn't even have a shot.

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

Especially Manchester United'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 Manchester United fans in the stands were all silent, their hearts beating fast.

The Inter Milan 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 Manchester United fans can be relieved-the first half of this terrible overtime game is about to end, and the second half is dominated by Manchester United!

After a break, Manchester United will bombard Inter Milan indiscriminately in the second half. As long as we can score a goal, the opponent will completely collapse!
Inter Milan won 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.

Cambiasso 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 Manchester United's penalty area.

The one at the top is not the replaced center Milito, but Eto'o.

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

Seeing Eto'o stop the ball, Milito, who was running forward, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Dortmund's penalty area.

And Eto'o also noticed the acceleration of Milito. Since he couldn't turn around, why didn't he pass the football to Milito?To threaten Manchester United's goal, you don't have to turn around yourself, as long as someone can threaten it!

Thinking of this, Eto'o used the soles of his feet to gently flick the football behind him-he was afraid that if he flicked it too far, Milito would not be able to catch up with the ball, so Van der Sar who was attacking would 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.

Ribery's kick was actually a little lighter. Seeing the football rolling behind him, Evra gave up on Milito, turned around and rushed back.

Juvedic, who was on both sides of him, was faster than him, had already reached behind him, and shoveled towards the football!
At this time, Milito's super anticipation consciousness was reflected to the extreme. He suddenly accelerated again during the high-speed sprint, and stabbed the football away with one kick.

When Vidic shoveled over, he didn't touch anything!
He didn't even touch Milito's leg. If he wanted to foul, Milito didn't give him such a chance!

"Diego Milito - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa then.!" Martin Taylor screamed.
