In the final of this Champions Cup, the silver ball system will be used in extra time, that is, if one side scores in the first half, it does not mean that they win, and if the team that is behind equalizes before the end of the first half of extra time, then it will enter the second half......

Borussia Dortmund's players sat in a circle in their own half, and the team doctors and substitutes were massaging the thighs of the players on the pitch to get them back to health as quickly as possible – and AC Milan did the same, and even a little more energy at this time would give them an advantage. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Dick sat in the middle of all the players, and he didn't sit for the players to look up at him, but just sat there.

"Now we have reached a big step towards our goal...... There are still 30 minutes of extra time, now is the time to persevere, be more resolute when you have a chance to counter-attack, and if you don't have a chance, it's okay to waste more time...... Jayjack, it's time for you to play. ”

Okocha nodded, he knew what his mission was.

Five minutes passed quickly, and soon after, the first half of extra time was about to begin, and it was at this time that Dick made his third substitution of the game.

Okocha came on and replaced Everton.

The first two substitutions, in fact, were meant to strengthen the defense, and now all the commentators can see it, and this one is ...... Is it a signal to intensify the offensive?

This thought came to the minds of most commentators, and even Carlo Ancelotti began to mumble, which made Ac Milan a little cautious in attacking after the start of the second half, after all, they were also worried about Dortmund's attack......

It wasn't until five minutes later that they realized that they were the donkey of Guizhou, because Dortmund had been in defensive condition except for the first half of extra-time when Okocha won the ball from the wing and crossed, and Cavinaghi headed it high......

Just as they were ready to attack, they realized that time was running out - the Dortmund players began to defend in full force, and when they were helpless to besiege for a few minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of extra time!

Ancelotti shook his head helplessly, now he really knows that Dortmund just wants to drag it out to extra time, but he is not particularly worried, because they have also conducted targeted training and rehearsed penalty shootouts, and their Brazilian goalkeeper Dida was known as a penalty expert when he played in the Brazilian league, although Lehmann is also a top goalkeeper, he has not heard of anything particularly good at penalty kicks, even when he played for Schalke 04, He helped Schalke 04 beat Inter Milan on penalties in the UEFA Cup final......

Players on both sides are slowly walking towards the opponent's half, and there is no break in the midfield of extra time, and walking a little slower can also allow the physical recovery to be faster.

It was Borussia Dortmund who kicked off in the second half.

AC Milan cautiously pressed up front, and then they found out that Dortmund were patiently backing up - now they didn't need to hide their intentions, and the AC Milan fans in the stands let out loud boos, but they were unmoved, still backing up and down the back.

When the AC Milan players began to press in the frontcourt, Dortmund quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt, this time they played fast, and when the AC Milan players hula and ran back, they saw Okocha receive a return pass from Cavinaghi in the front court, and then began to dribble the ball to the side......

When brought to the corner kick area, Okocha began to show his ball control skills in a narrow place, Ac Milan's Serginho and Kaladze went up to force and failed to break the ball, and finally Ambrosini also went up, seeing that he could not protect the ball again, Okocha kicked the ball directly to the body of Kaladze, who could not dodge, and the ball bounced off the bottom line, Dortmund's corner kick......

Rivaldo ran over to take a corner kick and there was only one Cavinaghi in the box, and then he passed the ball to Okocha, who started the ball again to protect the ball.

Almost all the commentators were speechless, this blatant delay was really outrageous, they could only watch the game in silence, most of them looked at the time, and there were a few minutes left in extra time......

It wasn't until the 118th minute that Ac Milan regained possession, and when they reached Dortmund's half, the clock was almost at the end of the day.

There is usually no stoppage time in extra time, even if there is no more delay, after the time is up, the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game, and the stadium is immediately boiling, almost everyone is in good spirits - just now they are even afraid that which side will score a goal at this time - it will ruin the atmosphere!

It's finally time for the bayonet to see red! After waiting for 120 minutes, it was finally time for the most exciting time!

All the fans in front of the sleepy TV set came to their senses, and many of them began to turn up the volume to the maximum, looking at the TV screen without blinking, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Of course, there was some rest before the shoot-out, and while the referee was discussing where to take the penalty, players from both sides gathered around the centre circle to seize this little time to press the players and the assistant coaches discussed

The order of the players who played the game......

Lyman was arranging his gloves when Marriner tapped him on the shoulder and shoved something into him.

Lehmann didn't show any surprise, he nodded to Marriner, then carefully put the note that Marriner stuffed into his socks, and then walked to the referee.

"Give it to him, huh?" Dick asked.

"Given." Marriner nodded, and then sighed: "Our coaching staff members are still very strong, at least this ability to gather intelligence is stronger than Atletico Madrid......

Dick smiled, but he had already begun to prepare...... It's no secret that AC Milan's players take free-kicks, as evidenced by the footage of their penalties – in fact, he would have preferred Andrea Pirlo and Rui Costa to be on the pitch, as they have taken penalties a lot and have the opportunity to judge, but the others don't have much information.

But even so, Dortmund will have a huge advantage!

After a coin toss, the referee chose the side of the second half of extra time as the location for the penalty kick, which was slightly advantageous for Ac Milan, after all, Dida seemed to be more familiar with the vicinity of the goal......

Lehmann didn't care about that, he spent the same amount of time as Dida on this side, but his temporary memory was a little worse.

At this time, the managers of both sides also submitted the starting list for the penalty shootout, which does not need to be revealed to the other party, so it is a mystery for the managers of both sides......

Dick and Carlo Ancelotti both returned to their seats, but of course neither sat down, but stood on the sidelines, staring at the penalty shoot-out half.

"The penalty shoot-out is about to start...... Well, now let's look at some technical statistics...... Borussia Dortmund have no previous experience in penalty shoot-outs in Champions League matches, and Ac Milan also have disadvantages, penalty maestro Andrea Pirlo has been off the field, they have five penalty missed experience this season, and in the last four penalty shootouts of the Italian national team, the first to miss a penalty is an Ac Milan player! Carlo Ancelotti didn't seem to expect a penalty shoot-out, otherwise he shouldn't have replaced Andrea Pirlo, who had a very good ......

"There should be only a few penalty takers for Borussia Dortmund, Rivaldo, Rosicky, Dede, Cavinagh, Frings...... Okocha and Kyle are also possible, while AC Milan are in some trouble, Rui Costa and Pirlo are both off, Shepchenko and Seedorf have good penalties, Inzaghi's penalty is not known how, and the rest ...... None of them seemed to be penalty specialists, and after Dick dragged the game to this point, it seemed that Dortmund's advantage began to mount......

The two goalkeepers stood behind the goal, and after a coin toss, it was determined that Dortmund would take the penalty first.

The first to stand up was Rosicky.

As the heart of the midfield and the penalty taker before Rivaldo's arrival, Rosicky was responsible for his first appearance.

Dida stood in front of goal, waiting for the first penalty.

Putting the ball on the penalty spot, Rosicky took a deep breath, started to run after hearing the referee's whistle, and then got up and shot!

Obviously, Rosicky was a little steady, he pushed his right foot directly into the bottom right corner, Dida made an excellent judgment, he fell to the ground in time, and with a long arm stretched, the ball was blocked from the bottom line!

Rosicky hugged his head, extremely regretful, the stands resounded with cheers from the AC Milan fans, Dortmund fans hugged their heads, the first goal was not scored, this is not a good sign......

"Let you defend! Think you can win on penalties? We're AC Milan! You can't win us on penalties! The AC Milan fans in the stands shouted frantically at the stadium, wanting to use this to put pressure on the Dortmund players.

'Oops, Borussia Dortmund didn't score the penalty...... Rosicky's penalty kick was supposed to have a high hit rate, but this penalty kick was not up to par! Such a mistake is a big blow for Dortmund......"

"Dida is a well-known penalty expert in Brazil! His judgment was very accurate and saved Rosicky's penalty! Now AC Milan is starting to take the lead! If Dortmund hold on until now and end up losing on penalties, it will be quite a blow for them, after all, they have always wanted to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out...... If they still lose on penalties, they may not be able to hold their heads up for a long time......

"Such a passive, non-enterable way of football deserves the fate of failure! Dick's extreme utilitarian practice should be punished! AC Milan will definitely win, and Borussia Dortmund will be the object of ridicule! The Italian commentator frothed at the mouth and shouted: "Even if it's a penalty shootout, it's us who wins!" ”

Dick remained unmoved on the sidelines, still quietly watching the court, knowing that if he really lost the game in this way, he would definitely become the target of everyone's criticism!

However, he did not regret it, he firmly believed that he would win, even if it was unfavorable, he would definitely win!

It's a belief, but it's also an absolute self-confidence.
