The second half began quickly. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

It was AC Milan who kicked off in the second half, so Dortmund was on the defensive from the beginning, they kept running in the midfield, two of the three midfielders were German players who could run, and the remaining one Rosicky was also a very German player - in such coverage, even if AC Milan wanted to attack, it was difficult to hit the middle into the Dortmund penalty area, you must know that even if AC Milan has a lot of good long-range shots, it is very difficult to score outside the 30-meter area.

AC Milan also had concerns, they didn't dare to attack with all their might, which made the second half look very boring after the start of the game.

Although the game is boring, the players on both sides dare not have any relaxation on the field, and any relaxation at this time may become an irreparable loss!

In the entanglement between the two sides, it was Dortmund who was passive to take the lead in creating opportunities, in the 54th minute, Dortmund cleared the backfield, Everton broke through with the ball at high speed in the middle, and after attracting the attention of the opposing defender, the ball was distributed to Rivaldo on the left side, Rivaldo stopped the ball and raised his foot to send a quick and fast arc half-high ball, Cavinaghi rushed out from the middle of the two Milan central defenders, and met the ball directly in the penalty area!

Dida jumped up but seemed to be a step too slow, the ball flew past his hands, and when the hearts of all the Milan fans were beating violently, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the box, and the returning Nesta immediately cleared the ball with a big foot!

"Hell! None of this went in! ”

Dick jumped up with his head in the dugout, shouting loudly as he jumped, with a look of remorse.

And Ancelotti, who was almost scared to death by the scene just now, saw Dick's remorseful look, which also gave him a feeling of escaping death - this bastard, sure enough, still prepared something, if it weren't for bad luck, this goal would have been scored!

What he didn't know was that this was indeed not Dick's intentional preparation, but the cooperation of the three people in the front court at that moment, and it was not so easy to play such a cooperation, at least Everton's breakthrough just now, Rivaldo's pass and Cavinaji's grabbing point, in the words of martial arts, that is, "exhausted the strength of life"......

The frightened AC Milan were quick to counter-attack – they were one of the best teams of the season in that sense, and they felt it was a good opportunity to be taken aback.

Because Nesta's ball did not fly off the touchline, but was picked up by Costa in midfield, the Portuguese quickly passed the ball to Seedorf, who began to dribble forward on the flank, trying to catch Dortmund by surprise.

However, when Seedorf took the ball to watch the situation in the front court, the Dutchman couldn't help but curse his mother in his heart.

In front of him was a neat group of seven Dortmund defenders, in the attack just now, only three attackers in the front court were involved, Frings only made his position a little presupposition, and after seeing the attack fail, he immediately returned to the half!

In desperation, the AC Milan players could only take advantage of the situation to switch to positional battles, but their attacking ability was also very fierce, under Dortmund's tight defense, they still relied on a corner kick to almost score a few minutes later - Pirlo took a corner, Maldini grabbed the first drop in the penalty area and rushed to the top, the ball almost grazed the crossbar and flew off the bottom line!

Dick looked down at his watch, it was now sixty-five minutes of the game, and twenty-five minutes were left before the end of the ninety minutes - that is, three-quarters of the way through the game......

At this point, Dick turned around and called Alves, Ricken, and Okocha on the bench to warm up.

The three players caught Ancelotti's attention when they ran out, and he frowned - not because of anything else, because Ismael had used up one substitution for Metzeld before, and now Dick could only make two substitutions, but let three people warm up - which two of them would be replaced? Or will it be replaced by Olic on the bench?

Thinking like this, Ancelotti did not forget to let the players warm up, he called Tomasson, Serginho and Ambrosini to warm up as well.

However, at this time, Ancelotti discovered a bad situation.

The veteran Costacuta, who played at right-back in this game, performed very well, not only defending, but also constantly advancing assists, which made his fitness drop quickly, and he also had a yellow card on him, after observing that Costacuta was a little weak, Ancelotti called Roque from the bench? Júnior, let him hurry up and warm up.

Soon after, Carlo Ancelotti made the first substitution of the game, with Júnior coming on for a physically exhausted Costacuta.

Now both sides have used up a substitution and both have been used at the back – the defensive mentality was evident in the moment.

After seeing this substitution, many commentators sighed, and it was obvious that neither Dick nor Ancelotti seemed to want to adjust the offensive line at this time and make the scene change......

Ancelotti wanted to make a preemptive attack to see what Dick used to make a substitution before making a targeted arrangement, but he waited for a while and saw several of Dortmund's substitutes warming up on the sidelines for a long time, and Dick didn't call them back......

While Ancelotti was wondering, Dick finally made a move.

He called Alves and gave him a few words before making his second substitution.

Captain Ruyt came off the pitch, handing the captain's armband to Warnes before leaving the pitch before leaving the pitch gasping for breath – like Costacuta, Ruyt is also very old, and although he is a wide player, he is also a little too physical to support in such a dense game.

Seeing that Alves was on the field, Ancelotti's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a second substitution, Serginho came on the field and replaced Pirlo - Alves is an assist-type fullback, Dick replaced him at this time to strengthen the offensive on this side, Ancelotti replaced Serginho in order to strengthen the attack on this side, suppress Alves' attack, and maybe seize the gap after Alves's assist to score!

However, Ancelotti soon found out that something was wrong - because when Alves came on, he did not appear at right-back, but at right-back, and now at right-back...... It's Frings!

Alves plays right midfield, which allows him to assist without worry, and at the same time he is not afraid of any mistakes in the midfield, anyway, there are people behind to help sweep the tail, Frijns to the right-back position, so that Dortmund's defense continues to defend strong - he is no stranger to this position, you must know that in the 02 World Cup, Frings has always played at right back, until the final Ballack was suspended, he returned to the midfield!

"This substitution actually strengthens the defensive ......"

By the time Ancelotti thought about it, the game had already passed more than 70 minutes and came to the eighty-first minute of the game!

"Didn't he think of attacking? Rather, they plan to drag the game to extra-time or even penalties? ”

Such an idea suddenly appeared in Ancelotti's mind, which made him startled, but soon, he confirmed this judgment, because the current situation on the field, only this can be explained!

"This bastard......" Ancelotti couldn't help but curse in his heart, but now it's eighty minutes into the game, and then attack? That's too risky, and if Dortmund sneaks into one at this time, then it will be even more wronged......

At this time, Ancelotti was also forced to use up his third substitution.

Rui Costa was injured and fell to the ground when he was scrambling in the frontcourt, Ancelotti replaced Rui Costa with Ambrosini, Seedorf moved to the middle, replaced Rui Costa and began to organize the attack, and in the following time, Dortmund's defense began to be tighter, and even the three players in the front field began to join the defense......

At this time, the commentators also came to their senses......

"It turns out that Dick has always been thinking about defense! It's really unexpected! Now that he's managed to drag the game into the close 90 minutes, what will he do in the next extra time? Dortmund have now achieved their tactical goals and I wouldn't ......believe them if they didn't prepare for extra-time and penalties."

"From the start, Dick was going to drag the game to the last minute...... He must be ready! I have to say that this is a very wise decision, after all, Dortmund's overall strength is much worse than AC Milan, but he has used various methods to hide his true intentions until now! What a horrible guy! Now I'm starting to dislike AC Milan, obviously Dortmund is fully prepared, and the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for AC Milan! Will they be able to score? If they can get a goal, then Borussia Dortmund will be in danger, and now the Dortmund players understand this and they are defending with all their strength! ”

In the final moments of the game, the AC Milan players began to press aggressively, but in the face of Dortmund's dense defence, they were unable to create many chances, and Shepchenko, who performed well in the first half, did suffer a dip in form in the second half, Inzaghi was drowned in the sea of people in the box, and Seedorf's long-range shots were twice blocked by the Dortmund defenders......

Finally, after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

Ninety minutes of competition, all over! However, the whole game is not over, the suspense is not over, after a five-minute break on the court, the two sides will enter the second half of 15 minutes of extra time - if the winner is not decided in extra time, then the game will enter the most brutal and exciting penalty shootout!

"Ninety minutes over! The two sides are about to go to extra time! It was amazing that there were no goals in 90 minutes in this final! The last time a goal was scored in 90 minutes in a Champions League final was back in the 91-92 season, when there were also 90 minutes without a goal, but Barcelona beat Sampdoria by one goal in extra time to win the first and only Champions League title in the club's history! Who is the lucky winner in today's competition? ”
