Chapter 150: The Last Ten Minutes (Part I)

At half-time, the managers of both sides were in the dressing room, and each explained the situation of the first half, and after 15 minutes, the players of both teams returned to the field.

There were no personnel changes on either side, but after the start of the second half, the home team's Schalke 04's attack gradually became ferocious.

It makes sense that, despite having two away goals in their hands, they are still behind Atletico on aggregate and if they don't step up their attack and try to score, they will be eliminated in the end.

If the advantage is not converted into a victory, it is also for nothing.

However, Simeone's expectation was that he asked the team to defend solidly in the second half, build the midfield as solid as possible, and at the same time threaten the opposition with counter-attacks.

Atletico Madrid is very resolute in implementing the manager's tactics, they tighten the defensive line, and at the same time actively run and scramble in the midfield, as much as possible to block the opponent's attack from the backline, so although the home team is getting more and more aggressive, but in the face of Atletico's tenacious defense, they have not been able to break through the goal and score.

As the days went on, the Schalke 04 players on the pitch became more and more anxious, and even the two full-backs were stationed in the midfield, ready to attack at any time.

Schalke 04 pressed the attack on all fronts, and the defense was naturally very empty.

In the sixty-third minute, Qin Shou instigated a counterattack in the backfield. After holding on to Farfan's long-range shot, Courtois tossed the ball to Qin Shou, who broke free from Raul's entanglement, dribbled through the midfield and passed the ball to Turan on the wing.

The Turk drove in and crossed from near the baseline, where Costa grabbed the first spot, but unfortunately his shot was powerful but Hildebrand reacted faster. He lifted the ball off the crossbar with one hand.

"Oooh, oh - it's Tim again! It's Hildebrand again! If it weren't for him, Schalke 04 at this moment would have lost hope of qualifying! Today he is the patron saint of the Gelsenkirchen Stadium! ”

It was another world-class save from Hildebrand, and the home commentators commented on and praised him.

In fact, it is true, if it weren't for Hildebrand's supernatural performance, Atletico Madrid might have taken the lead on the road.

For the next ten minutes, the two teams were again at a stalemate.

Schalke 04, although attacking fiercely, has never been able to make substantial progress. Atletico, on the other hand, while stabilizing the defensive line, constantly harassed the opponent's backline with counter-attacks.

The two remain evenly matched.

However, this balance of power was broken in the 76th minute.

Farfan broke down the flank and crossed with his feet and the ball caused chaos in the box.

In the chaotic battle, Raul, who had been following Gabi all the time, shook off Atletico's iron waist with a fluctuating running position at this time. He struck his way out of the crowd like a ghost and stabbed the ball towards the goal.

With such close proximity and chaos in the box, Courtois' vision was blocked, and he only turned his head back when the ball slipped past him and into the net.

But it was too late, the ball had already broken through the goal line and was lying quietly in the net.

1:0!

The aggregate score is 3:3.

Both though the score is the same. However, according to UEFA rules, the number of away goals between the two is compared with the same goal, that is, if the match ends with such a scoreline. Then it is Schalke 04 who will win and they will advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"Raul! Raul! Raul...... Gonzalez! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! The aggregate score is 3:3! Schalke 04, who have two away goal advantages, have a bright future of qualifying! ”

"At the critical moment, it is still a superstar player like Raul who has to step up! 71st Champions League goal! Raul. Gonzalez has set his record for the most goals scored in the Champions League once again! ”

"Seventy-sixth minute goal! At this time, there are still more than ten minutes left until the end of the game! If Atletico Madrid can't score. Then, Schalke 04, who is fighting at home, will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League! ”

"Raul! He is a true winner of the Champions League! Beautiful goal! At the same time, it is likely to be a goal that determines who advances and who eliminates! ”

The Gelsenkirchen Stadium was completely boiling at this point.

It was a dull game and all the home fans were worried that their team would not be able to score. will be eliminated directly by a dull draw, but the surprise seems to fall from the sky, Raul's goal made them completely unable to suppress the joy and jubilation in their hearts.

"Raul! Raul! Raul! ”

"Quarterfinals! Quarterfinals! ”

"Great Raul. Gonzalez! Great Schalke 04! Great Gelsenkirchen! Advance! Advance! Advance! ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Amid the cheers and singing in the sky, the Atletico Madrid players looked a little lost. They had worked hard to play and defended well, but they didn't expect a single mistake to allow the opposition to score. It also means that they are standing on the edge of a cliff.

Looking at the jubilant and celebrating Schalke 04 players, and then looking at the pale and lost teammates, Qin Shou was also in a hurry, he clapped loudly and encouraged his teammates loudly.

"There's still time! We still have time! Don't give up! ”

Qin Shou quickly ran back to his goal, then scooped up the football, and ran quickly to the middle circle.

With Qin Shou's encouragement, the Atletico Madrid players finally came to their senses and returned to their positions one after another, ready to make a last stand.

The game soon restarted.

After the referee blew the whistle to signal that the ball was ready to kick off, Costa passed the football back to Gabi, who directly kicked the football to Qin Shou who was diagonally in front.

Qin Shou didn't slowly dribble the ball to observe the situation as before, he raised his thighs and rushed through the middle line with the lying ball.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

"Only by scoring goals can we have any hope of qualifying!"

Qin Shou rushed forward with the ball while waving his hand, signaling his teammates to follow him and press on him.

After making a two-by-one with Koke, Qin Shou burst into the penalty area with the ball thirty-five meters away. Kruger and Draxler came towards him, Qin Shou didn't dare to stick the ball too much, and passed the football to Koke on the left, and then continued to run forward by himself.

Cork made the move to pass the football to Qin Shou again, but when he saw that Qin Shou was followed by a defender, he changed the pass to a buckle, and then went forward, going straight to the middle.

Because Schalke 04's defensive attention was mostly focused on Qin Shou's body, Koke's sudden change of direction suddenly made the home team's defense line exposed.

Kruger made a quick step in and Koke handed the ball directly to Costa who pulled out of the box before the opponent rushed up.

With his back to goal, Costa leaned against Hevedez and forced a turn before a cold shot.

Hildebrand was also unprepared for this cold shot, and the football bypassed him, but it hit the post and finally popped off the bottom line.

"Oh! Costa turns and strikes the door! ”

"It hit the pillar! Schalke 04 escaped! ”

"Atletico Madrid's luck is so bad!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the commentators, Costa also jumped to his feet in frustration, but he did not complain too much about the ball, but actively engaged in the counter-attack.

Like him, there are other Atletico players, time is running out, there is no extra effort to squander for them, if they can't score in the last ten minutes, then they can only regret to say goodbye to this season's Champions League.

The game continued.

Atletico Madrid began a surging counterattack, while Schalke 04 purposefully began to gradually retreat from formation, and the two teams began to fight fiercely in midfield.

Time is also passing fast in this scramble.

Entering the 80th minute of the game, Schalke 04 coach Magath took the lead in making adjustments. He replaced Farfan with Joel Matip and two minutes later he brought on Schopf for goal-scorer Raul.

Replacing two strikers and two midfielders, Magath's intentions were clear, and he was going to hold on to the scoreline.

In fact, the advantage of this one goal is enough! The score of 1:0 is enough for them to advance to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Magath played his card, and Simeone followed suit.

He replaced Falcao with Antoine Griezmann and Koke with Suarez.

Griezmann's breakthrough ability and impact are very strong, and the replacement of Suarez is to strengthen the hardness of the midfield and liberate Qin Shou.

After the substitution, the two teams fought back and forth in the midfield, and the game situation became more and more white-hot.

In the 85th minute of regular time, Atletico Madrid, who had been attacking frantically, finally found a good chance to score again.

Qin Shou, who was liberated and completely devoted all his energy to the attack, has been very active for a few minutes.

This time, Turan managed to break through up front, attract two defenders, and knock the ball back into the middle. Gabi, who was keeping up, transitioned a little, and passed the football to Qin Shou, who was friendly to the right side.

Facing the defense of Japanese fullback Atsuto Uchida, Qin Shou didn't play any tricks at all, and directly accelerated with a lying ball, leaving the Japanese dwarf behind, and didn't even give the other party a chance to foul.

Qin Shou quickly went down to the bottom line, Hevedes rushed out to force the grab, Qin Shou changed the direction of the ball several times in a row, and after shaking it easily, he buckled it again, and it was directly from the bottom line to the penalty area.

"Oooo Qin didn't choose to cross! He dribbled the ball from the bottom line into the box! ”

"Danger! Schalke 04 must go all out, time is running out, victory or defeat in one fell swoop! ”

"Papalopski had to rush over to fill in the position, and to be honest, Hevedes was broken through too easily, which made such a big gap in the box!"
