Chapter 150: Physical Overdraft
Both sides want to score!
Both sides were not willing to settle for a draw.
There is no intention of turning to pure defense, it is still an offensive and defensive battle that you go back and forth, and this offensive and defensive conversion is too fast.
The last goal could have been in the Borussia Dortmund penalty area, and the next one was in the Shakhtar Donetsk box.
The spirituality and cooperation of the Borussia Dortmund players, the blood and unity of the Shakhtar Donetsk players, this is simply a war of dragons and tigers.
Lin Yu was liberated, and no one was specifically guarding him anymore, so he became more active than before, but the Shakhtar Donetsk players gradually became familiar with his ball and did not pose much of a threat to him.
On the contrary, Shakhtar Donetsk, because of the home advantage, because of the fans' cheers, the morale has clearly reached a climax, as at the beginning of the first half, they obviously have to win the game.
Sharp attacks came in waves.
It feels like Borussia Dortmund's backline is a bit shaky.
"Kill them! Send them back to their hometown! Shakhtar Donetsk fans at the scene brought this wave of attack to a climax, and their roars were like a flood that flooded the stadium.
Time was running out for the game, and the Dortmund players were starting to look weak due to some physical problems. After all, they are playing away from home, and Shakhtar Donetsk is waiting for work, which is definitely a disadvantageous situation for Dortmund in terms of physical strength.
Whether it's a technical player or a physical player, once the physical strength drops, then it doesn't look like anything, and Gotze and Reus in the front court are starting to make some mistakes that they shouldn't have.
In the whole game, they and Lin Yu had the longest running distance, and their physical strength was obviously not as strong as Lin Yu, so it was remarkable that they could hold on until now.
Klopp looked at the clock, it was already the 80th minute of the game, and he did not hesitate any longer, immediately replacing Reus with Blaszczykowski and Gotze with Reitner.
Although these two players are certainly not as good as Gotze and Reus in terms of overall strength, they have a lot of energy, and with the support of abundant energy, they can play better than Gotze and Reuss.
Blaszczykovski, who had just been substituted, was fine, after all, he had been the main player of the team in the past, and he adapted relatively quickly.
However, Reitner was a bit uncomfortable and ended up making undeserved mistakes, allowing Shakhtar Donetsk to seize their chances on several occasions and close to scoring.
Fortunately, several defenders are still relatively good, and captain Weidenfeller is also absolutely excellent, completely blocking Shakhtar Donetsk's crazy attack.
But such a situation is obviously unfavorable for Dortmund, and it is seriously unfavorable.
Shakhtar Donetsk fans in attendance had even sung their own anthem, as if they had seen the victory.
"Shakhtar Donetsk played to their home advantage, they completely suppressed Borussia Dortmund, and it looked like they were determined to get all three points at home."
"Actually, even if Dortmund now changes to full recovery, it is no problem, even if there is a draw in the end, they still have two away goals, and it will be much easier to get to home."
"It seems that Shakhtar Donetsk is more determined, after all, if they lose at home, they will basically be eliminated, you must know that Westphalia Stadium is the famous devil's home, it will be really troublesome to play there, so they have to win this game."
Shakhtar Donetsk's players obviously understand this, so even if they fight with cramps, they will not stop, anyway, there are only ten minutes left, if they can score one more goal, they can win this game, and in this case, it is possible to advance to the next round of the game when they go to the Westphalian Stadium.
Jurgen Klopp didn't make any further adjustments, he pinned all his hopes on the player.
He looked down at his watch, there were less than ten minutes left before the end of the game, could he hold on?
It's been a tough 10 minutes, it's like walking in a swamp, and you can fall into it if you're not careful.
The players on the field were tired, several defenders were already out of breath, and even Piszczek, who had always had a lot of energy, did not look good.
The more intense the competition, the more physical energy is consumed, and this is scientifically based.
Lin Yu also felt a little difficult to breathe, he was the best physical strength in the entire arena, but he was also the longest running at the moment, he was not only instigating the attack, but also joining the defense, and he had to do more when his teammates' physical strength was gradually exhausted.
Looking at the big screen, there were still eight minutes before the end of the game.
But Lin Yu and Klopp think differently, Klopp, as the coach, thinks about whether he can advance after two games, so as long as this is a draw, it is enough.
But Lin Yu didn't want to do this, he said before the game that if he wanted to win the game, he couldn't let himself break his promise, he also wanted to score a goal in these eight minutes, try to make his Champions League goals as much as possible, he is now competing with Ronaldo and Messi for the Champions League Golden Boot, and not scoring more penalties is really not enough.
Comparatively speaking, this time the opponent is relatively weak, and if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to score, if you meet a stronger team, it will only be a tragedy.
But he couldn't think about scoring alone, he felt that his teammates were starting to shrink the defense, and even Lewandowski, who was at the front, began to retreat and retreated to near the center circle arc to help the team defend.
As a result, the attack looked even weaker, and after a few minutes, Dortmund didn't even have a few decent shots on goal, but Shakhtar Donetsk played smoothly, as if they could break through Dortmund's goal at any time.
Many of Shakhtar Donetsk's players were already on their feet with excitement, they saw the hope of victory, and felt that the match was now a battle between a strong Eastern European giant and a paralyzed German tank.
There was no suspense that the Eastern European giant could smash the paralyzed chariot to pieces with a single fist.
All we lack now is a little luck, a little luck, we have a chance, and a lot of chances, and with a little bit of luck, we can kill Dortmund completely.
This is in the minds of many fans in the field, and even the thoughts of many Shakhtar Donetsk players, because they have been playing against Borussia Dortmund since the equaliser, and there is no reason not to win.
Finally, stoppage time was played on the sidelines.
3 minutes!
There were only three minutes to go, and the score was still tied!
Many Dortmund fans have been praying in front of the TV, they hope that this game will be over quickly, so that they don't have to worry so much, they don't blame their team, after all, this is an away game, and it is not easy to play a draw when the energy is exhausted.
The only hope they had was for the game to be over and Dortmund to get out of the game so their players could get some rest.
"Adriano! Oh my God, the shot was saved at close range, Weidenfeller was a god and Dortmund should be glad they had such a great goalkeeper! ”
