Chapter 146: No One Wants to Lose

"I won't say anything superfluous, in the first half we had a good overall performance except for the goal we conceded, so let's continue to work hard in the second half, as long as we keep the current form, it shouldn't be a problem to win the game. I don't want to put any pressure on you, this match is only guaranteed to come out of the way, and that's our victory! Klopp doesn't want to put pressure on the players, although he has always believed in his heart that football games are either lost or won, and a draw is the last thing he can accept, but as a manager, he has to take into account the feelings of the players.

For a team that can dominate on the pitch, all it needs to do is keep it in shape, not change anything.

On the contrary, for a team that is at a disadvantage, it is natural to have to make some changes to make it possible to recover the decline.

Lucescu looked at his players, shook his fist and said: "This is our home stadium, we have to win the game, there is no choice, if we go to Westphalia with a draw, it will be very bad for us, so give me an attack in the second half!" ”

He has no choice now, and if he doesn't attack, then he can only keep a draw at most, which is really bad for their team.

After all, this is the knockout stage of the Champions League, not a league game, nor a group stage.

Of course, attacking can lead to instability at the back and conceding goals, but if you want to score, you have to take risks, and there is no way to do it.

Until now, Lucescu still thinks that the goal that Lin Yu equalized in the first half was just the bad luck of their team, and that goal was really weird.

According to common sense, Lin Yu will definitely not be able to catch up with that ball, he feels that it is not that Lin Yu is too fast, but that his players have made undeserved mistakes.

Therefore, he warned his players to stay on guard while attacking, not to leave any chance for the opponent, and at least not to make any mistakes.

"Pyatov, you have to keep a cool judgment in the game, we can't give the opponent any more opportunities to sneak attack."

"Got it, coach." As a goalkeeper, he was teased by Lin Yu, Piatov is very unhappy now, he is gearing up, just to compete with Lin Yu in the second half, he wants Lin Yu to know that he is not so dish, and the goal is just that he was too careless.

Jurgen Klopp's constant response, Lucescu's attacking horn, these are the orders issued by the coaches of both sides to the team, they are like strategists, deciding the team's next move.

The only difference is that there is an audience in this war, and now the audience on the stage is going to solve their own affairs, eat something and drink some water, or solve physiological problems, which are all necessary, after half the game, they have shouted dry mouth, and their physical strength has been consumed a lot, and the most important thing is that there is always a heart hanging, and they must relax and relax at this time.

Merkel and Yanukovych also went to the lounge to rest, and the people below brought them fruits and drinks, and after they had eaten, they chatted there.

"Mr. President, what do you think the outcome of this game will be?"

"What else, this is our home turf after all, and Shakhtar Donetsk will definitely not let go of Dortmund who dare to go wild here." Yanukovych laughed.

"I'm afraid that you will be disappointed in the end, you have also seen Dortmund's combat effectiveness, they are not easy to bully."

"Haha, Madam Prime Minister, it's not interesting for us to talk here, let's wait until the game is over. Now the second half is about to start, so let's go back. Yanukovych smiled.

"That's right, it's useless for us to say anything, the only thing that can change the outcome of the game is the players." Merkel also smiled, stood up with Yanukovych and walked towards the stands.

At this point, no one dares to judge easily, whether it is Merkel or Yanukovych, they have maintained enough restraint, they prefer to watch the game with their eyes rather than with their mouths.

At the beginning of the second half, the excitement was even better than the first, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding that they wanted to score in the second half.

Although Jurgen Klopp said it would be okay to take away the draw, the players understood that their coach was just taking the pressure off them and everyone understood that winning was a better option.

And Shakhtar Donetsk is the same, if they can't win on their home turf, it's a defeat, it's a shame, and they are absolutely reluctant.

"Lewandowski turned and shot, the ball grazed the crossbar, so dangerous!"

Adriano chose to force his way through and he beat youngster Bender, who was on the verge of passing the ball to Srna...... No, he chose to shoot, the pass was just a feint! The ball is blasted towards the goal! However, Weidenfeller held the ball firmly in his arms and his performance was solid. ”

"Dortmund's quick counter-attack, Bender stuffed the ball straight to Gotze, Gotze broke through with the ball, he got past the defenders, he passed, the ball went to the feet of Reus, Reus got up and shot, the ball was lifted off the crossbar by Piatov!"

"Reus takes a corner, Lewandowski smashes his header into the goal, and Pyatov is brave enough to confiscate the ball again!"

'It was Srna's free-kick again, in the first half, in the same position, he scored a beautiful goal for Shakhtar Donetsk, can he still score this goal? …… Beautiful, the ball crossed a perfect arc and fell straight into the corner, but this time Weidenfeller's save was even more beautiful, and he seemed to have expected this for a long time, smashing the ball out with one hand. ”

"Lin Yu! It was Lin Yu who broke through with the ball! He passed Srna, and he passed Tsygrinsky! He flicked the ball with his right foot, made a beautiful change of direction, ripped off the angle of the shot, and then volleyed with his feet! …… Oops, what a pity, the ball hit the post and bounced off the line, and his shot seemed to lack a little luck! ”

"The ball is at Lin Yu's feet again, but he is still more than forty meters away from the goal, do you want to break through?"

Lin Yu didn't choose to break through, he looked up at Lewandowski in the penalty area, and then directly chose a long pass.

There was no problem with his footwork, coupled with the skill of accurate long passes, the ball fell firmly on Lewandowski's head, and Lewandowski did not stop the ball, and directly shook his head with a lion and smashed the ball towards the goal.

The ball flew out with a weird spin.

Pyatov misjudged the direction, and he had already pounced.

It's a pity that the ball still didn't go in, and it once again grazed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

It looked like Borussia Dortmund's players were really on the bar with Shakhtar Donetsk today, and they have hit the crossbar and post four or five times, including in the first half.

There are opportunities, but they can't always be seized, which is really painful.

Shakhtar Donetsk's fans in particular seemed to be in good spirits again, and at halftime they replenished their energy and used their energy to boo.

Their boos did have a big impact, and it is estimated that several beams and columns in Dortmund have a lot to do with this boo.
