Borussia Dortmund made one last substitution to replace full-back Schmelzer with Grosskreutz, but Valencia did not rush to use the remaining two substitutions, but continued to use the players on the field.

In this regard, Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, who has rich experience in commenting on the game, gave his own opinion: "Dortmund is behind by two goals, Klopp has used three substitutions, and Valencia has only used one substitution for the forward line, which means that they still have two adjustments, but the game is only seven minutes of injury time at most, and no substitutions have been made, I think...... It is likely that Carlo Ancelotti will want to make another substitution in stoppage time to consume more game time. ”

Commentator Martin Taylor nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this is very likely, because the three lines of Valencia are running very smoothly, there is no need to make adjustments again, and the current configuration is perfect, and making adjustments will affect the bad." ”

With the passage of time, that is to say, there is less and less time left in the game, and the whole Dortmund team can only increase the offensive intensity regardless of the defense when they are forced to do so, and even Feng Xiaoting once pressed over the middle line and participated in the attack.

Valencia's defense looks like a soldier is in the city, so Valencia's defense began to tighten, but the players on the field are experienced and the defensive position is very tight, and Dortmund decisively contracted the defense during the period when they strengthened their attack, and they did not let Dortmund, who were trying to close the gap quickly, find an opportunity.

At this time, Valencia under Ancelotti's coach slowly saw the shadow of the Italian team, the defense was chaotic and not panicked, and they echoed each other well.

So in order to close the gap quickly, Dortmund's attacking players began to try simple methods, either the two wings frequently played the ball to find Lewandowski, or Reuss, Gotze and Gundogan were prepared to try long-range shots.

Even Feng Xiaoting tried two long-range shots, but the results received were completely negligible.

"There is not much time left in the game, regular time is about to end, stoppage time is about to start, and now it is Valencia who are still leading the field, they are 3-1 ahead of Borussia Dortmund......"

With a commentary from BBC commentator Lineker, the fourth official stood at the edge of the halfway line and held up an electronic card with three minutes of stoppage time.

It's a decent amount of stoppage time, but if you were to take it seriously, three minutes of stoppage time would have been a lot, after all, the two teams didn't significantly delay the game in the second half, at most it was goal celebrations and substitutions.

By this time, Ancelotti was finally ready to use the last two substitutions, with Cazorla and Albiol standing on the sidelines, but there might be some tricks when it came to substitutions.

Sure enough, Gotze's long-range shot after breaking through Pirlo was saved by Wang Xiaolei, and the referee signaled a substitution on the sidelines.

However, it was Cazorla who was replaced on the field, and assistant coach Gao Hongbo suddenly grabbed Albiol and had something to explain.

Suddenly, the Dortmund fans erupted in huge boos, believing that Valencia, who were two goals ahead, were delaying the game, so they responded with boos.

But...... Their boos didn't last long, and were soon outweighed by even greater cheers from Valencia supporters.

Cazorla came on for James Rodriguez, a noticeable change in a shrinking formation.

James Rodriguez's attacking prowess is significantly stronger than Cazorla's, but Cazorla is a bit better at controlling the tempo, defending and controlling the ball.

Carlo Ancelotti's substitution strategy was obvious, using Cazorla's ability to control the tempo to help Valencia run out of the remaining game time.

※※※

Cazorla's effect on the pitch is still relatively obvious, and his ability to control the ball can form a good echo with Modric and Pirlo, so that he can guide the ball in the midfield and consume more game time.

With time running out, Borussia Dortmund's young players embody the spirit of youth, even if they feel that their fitness is reaching their limits, they still keep running, and they run tacitly to the ball carrier in central midfield.

However, Valencia's current trio are all the kind of players who have a strong ability to control the ball, and they are super capable of getting rid of the spot, and Modric faces the menacing Reuss, accelerates with a simple lateral pluck, and then passes the ball to Pirlo, who runs into the open space, and so on, consuming game time.

After several consecutive anaerobic runs, they finally stopped and began to accept the reality after severe physical exertion.

With the last minute and a half of the game remaining, the chances of scoring two goals in a row are almost zero.

Take 10,000 steps back to the clubhouse, even if they can pull back a goal in the shortest possible time, then the remaining goal will be difficult to complete, after all, Valencia still has one substitution in his hand to adjust the space, and it is not a problem to consume 30 seconds.

So the last minute and a half of football was firmly controlled at the feet of the Valencia players, and they walked through three minutes of injury time unharmed.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Albiol was still standing next to the fourth official.

However, he didn't care that he didn't get a chance to play, as the stoppage time was meant to delay the game, and the game was a lifelong favourite of Valencia's victory over Borussia Dortmund in the 2012-2013 Champions League final.

Completed the great cause of equaling Ajax and Bayern Munich winning the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, second only to Real Madrid, who won five consecutive championships at the beginning of the Champions League, but Albiol knows how difficult it is to win three consecutive championships after the Champions League restructuring, and the gold content is much higher than in the last century.

In addition, after Valencia won the title, that is to say, Valencia has won the fourth Champions League title in the club's history, becoming the team with the fourth most Champions League titles in the history of the Champions League, ahead of them Real Madrid who have won the title nine times, AC Milan who have won the title six times, and Liverpool who have won the title five times.

Therefore, if you count the team that has won the most titles since the reform of the Champions League, it is undoubtedly this Valencia, who won the Champions League in the 2006-2007, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons, surpassing Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League three times in five years, and becoming a veritable No.1.
