Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 385 Overtime (Second Update Guaranteed)

This game is not just frustrating for the fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

Chen Yingxiong on the playing field also felt very depressed.

He understands that the head coach wants to be cautious, but he can't be so cautious? It was still a normal defensive counterattack before. Later, after Gerrard came to pass the message, the team's offense became more conservative.

Now seeing the ninety-minute game coming to an end, Liverpool didn't even score a goal. And he himself didn't have any decent opportunities.

Having played so many games this season, this is the first time Chen Yingxiong has seen a game like today.

He didn't know what his boss was thinking. If the score hadn't changed at the end of the ninety-minute game, he planned to go find O'Neal and ask.

What also surprised him was Real Madrid's performance. They are not like Real Madrid at all, but more like a newly promoted team. When facing Liverpool, they will choose to adopt this tactic of parking the bus in front of the goal.

But this is quite in line with Mourinho's characteristics...

In short, this unprecedented Champions League final made Chen Yingxiong very unhappy.

Since the team didn't support him tactically enough, he decided to go it alone.

When the game was almost over, Chen Yingxiong suddenly became unexpectedly active.

He frequently uses his personal abilities to create threats to Real Madrid's goal.

The commentator also got a little excited along with him.

It's a pity that Mourinho's Real Madrid is really good at defense. Chen Yingxiong and his teammates have never been able to find a breakthrough.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the ninety-minute game, the score on the electronic screen was still 0:0.

※※※

"What a sleepy game. It's really surprising that such a game is the Champions League final..."

"For the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game, this game was really disappointing... Not only did both sides not score, they even had very few decent shots. The only ** in this game occurred in the first half. Towards the end. Liverpool and Real Madrid each had a threatening attack. Another reason that disappointed the Chinese fans was that Chen Yingxiong did not score. He had another excellent opportunity. But it was blocked by Casillas. ... There is still thirty minutes of overtime in the game. Let's grit our teeth and endure it with us. There is really no way to go into such a final... Both sides want to win, but first of all they are afraid of losing. "

"The ninety-minute game is finally over! After thirty minutes of overtime, there will be a penalty shootout... I think I finally got some energy, and I found the reason and motivation to continue watching. That is to see a A cruel, tense and intense penalty kick shootout! I believe the viewers in front of the TV must be looking forward to it just like me, right? Overtime is nothing, just let it pass quickly!"

In the voices of the commentators, players from both sides walked off the court. Gathered on the sidelines.

After the ninety-minute game ends, the players from both sides do not enter the locker room to rest. Instead, they take a simple rest directly on the side of the court for about five minutes.

In these five minutes. The players took the time to rest. The team doctor and physiotherapist were busy massaging the leg muscles of the players. The head coach began to make tactical arrangements for overtime.

In fact, there was nothing to arrange, because after entering overtime, everyone began to conserve their energy to prepare for the penalty shootout.

Chen Yingxiong walked off the court. He walked straight to head coach Martin O'Neill and asked: "Boss, what's going on? How did the game go to overtime?"

To be honest, not only Chen Yingxiong couldn't figure it out, but other Liverpool players couldn't figure it out either. However, the head coach still has authority, and everyone has to listen to him on the court.

O'Neal has a benefit. He never puts on a show. This matter is his responsibility, if it were another coach. It is possible to deny it and reprimand the players who asked the question. But what about O'Neal? At most, he just looks embarrassed and then apologizes to everyone.

"I'm sorry, everyone, it's my fault. I thought they wanted to show weakness, attract us to attack, and then defeat our counterattack. Unexpectedly, they were bent on dragging the game into a penalty shootout..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard him say this.

Penalty kick?

Many people instinctively start to have headaches.

Penalty kicks are a question that many players are afraid of facing. The pressure is really too much...

Moreover, they had not conducted any special training for penalty kicks before this final, so they were completely unprepared.

Then they realized the seriousness of the problem.

If Real Madrid succeeds, the team's prospects for winning the championship will be really bleak.

Whether you calculate mentally or not, it is really easy to win the penalty kick...

Chen Yingxiong was the first to react, and he also figured out why Real Madrid had to take a penalty kick.

He said: "In this case, just don't let them go to the penalty kick. Anyway, there are still thirty minutes. We will attack with all our strength and we will definitely be able to defeat them!"

"But if we attack with all our strength, what should we do if the opponent counterattacks? Real Madrid is a team that is very good at counterattacks..." Captain Gerrard raised a question.

"Use our offense to completely suppress them, so that even if they have a chance to counterattack, they won't be able to fight back!" Chen Yingxiong said confidently and decisively. "Just like what we did against Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's offense was so powerful, couldn't they even reach our 30-meter zone?"

"The problem is, when we faced Barcelona, ​​we did ten days of targeted training, and the tactical arrangements were all based on Barcelona's offense. But now we have not received tactical training against Real Madrid, and I'm afraid we don't have the ability. ..." Gerald continued to talk about his worries.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "The special training only allows us to change the time of all-out attack from twenty minutes to ninety minutes. We don't need to persist for that long, only thirty minutes... No, fifteen minutes is enough! As long as we Fifteen minutes of all-out attack is enough!”

Martin O'Neal, who had been listening by the side, also stood up at this time: "The hero is right. We will make a last-ditch effort in overtime and concentrate all our energy on attacking within fifteen minutes and strive to score at least one goal. Don't worry. Their counterattack, because our offensive is enough to suppress their counterattack. If we can't score in these fifteen minutes, then we will accept our fate, shrink the defense line honestly, and wait for a penalty kick with them!"

The head coach has said so, and that is the final opinion.

Everyone's eyes became more determined when they thought that if they failed, they would have to face the huge pressure of penalty kicks.

These fifteen minutes are the real essence of this final!

Only victory is allowed, no defeat is allowed!

On the other side, Mourinho is desperately trying to cheer up his players.

"Well done, guys! For the first time this season, Liverpool didn't score a goal for ninety minutes, and we did it! Beautiful! Now keep working hard, as long as we persist for another thirty minutes, we will win the game and the championship trophy." It belongs to us! This is the eleventh championship trophy in the history of Real Madrid Club! No team in European football has ever been able to achieve this! We will become the first team! In the face of such an honor, Everything else is insignificant! In the first half of overtime, I think Liverpool will not be aggressive because they are conserving their energy. You can take the opportunity to rest and adjust your physical fitness. The most important thing is in the second half, Liverpool will definitely make a big move Offensive, because they will never want to take a penalty shootout! That is their last - < > - when they do this, you should feel relieved and have firm belief. Because you know, Liverpool is afraid of taking a penalty kick Why are they afraid of the ball? Because they all know that they can't beat us in the penalty shootout!"

Mourinho is indeed a master of psychology and good at boosting morale.

Under his words, the tired faces of many Real Madrid players regained their luster.

"In the first half, we went out with all our strength in the first half! Don't leave any room for yourself. Push yourself to the edge, and then see how much energy we can burst out!" Chen Yingxiong was assigning tasks to his teammates.

The main O'Neal had finished speaking, and finally he volunteered to say a few words.

"What if we use up all our energy before we score a goal?" someone asked.

Chen Yingxiong said murderously: "Then let's go to hell! We don't have to wait for a penalty shootout!"

His appearance made everyone awed.

Then he ran onto the field first.

The first half of the thirty-minute overtime begins...

※※※

Mourinho stood on the sidelines. At this time, he could no longer remain calm.

Those thirty minutes seemed like an eternity to him. As long as he can survive it, he will become the first and only coach to defeat Liverpool this season.

For him, this may be more important than winning the 11th Champions League title.

He soon discovered that the long time was not thirty minutes, but... fifteen minutes!

As far as he could see, Liverpool launched one wave after another from the beginning of overtime.

These offensives gave him a sense of déjà vu.

When watching the video of the Liverpool game, he saw the same thing as today's scene in Liverpool's 6-0 home victory over Barcelona.

The cheers in the stands grew from small to loud, and soon swept the entire audience.

He didn't have to look up to know it was the cheers of Liverpool fans.

Because Liverpool fans are the same as him and see the same thing!

He smelled danger in the frantic air.
