Chapter 347

In the end, Alaba reluctantly left the field after being pushed by his teammates, otherwise he would have wanted to keep playing.

In that case, I'm afraid he will be punished additionally after the game.

While Sammer and Klopp were confronting each other, Ancelotti was thinking about how to play the next game.

With one less player, Bayern still makes a big fuss on the wing as before to attack Liverpool?
In this case, I'm afraid he will die faster.

Fortunately, the score is now a draw, not behind, so Bayern can choose to recycle its defense and try to hold on to the draw.After all, Bayern is leading by one goal in both rounds. Even if Liverpool scores another goal, Bayern will have a chance of overtime.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti decided to make corresponding adjustments.

When the penalty kick was awarded, many people must have thought that penalty kick would be the turning point of the game.

But now it seems that Alaba's red card is the real turning point of the game...

Alaba's red card caused the game to be interrupted for at least 3 minutes. These 3 minutes will be counted as injury time by the referee.

After a 3-minute interruption, the game resumed.

Ancelotti has already made adjustments, replacing forward Lewandowski with Arturo Vidal.

The meaning of this substitution is very obvious. Replacing the only center forward basically means giving up offense and focusing on defense.

Originally, the two teams were playing against each other, and both teams had opportunities. Now Bayern has shrunk its defense and turned into Liverpool besieging Bayern, but the offensive opportunities have been reduced.Because of Bayern's intensive defense, Liverpool did not get as many high-quality offensive opportunities as before.

When Alaba received the red card, many Liverpool fans cheered, thinking that Liverpool had one more player than Bayern, the balance was broken, and Liverpool would have the upper hand.

But looking at it now, having one less opponent is not necessarily a good thing.

Because this made Bayern determined to defend.

Bayern can completely accept a draw, but Liverpool cannot.

If Bayern really gets what they want and keeps the tie until the end, then Liverpool, as the defending champion, will be eliminated and miss the final!
So soon, the Liverpool fans couldn't be happy anymore, and they stared at the stadium nervously.

On the field, Liverpool is laying siege to Bayern's goal.

In the 608th minute, Royce shot a long shot with his left foot from 27 meters away from the goal, and the football missed the left side of the goal.

Then Royce also took the ball horizontally from the right side of the penalty area and shot from long range. This time the ball was shot high.

Because of Bayern's intensive defense, the penalty area seemed very crowded.Faced with such a dense defense, Liverpool had no good solution in a short period of time, so they could only frequently choose long-range shots.

It's just that the effect of long-range shooting is actually not very good.

Bayern switched to a comprehensive defense, and Liverpool switched to a comprehensive attack.

But time is running out for Liverpool.

In the 704th minute, Royce was brought down while dribbling the ball from the wing, and the referee gave Liverpool a free kick.

After Royce drove out, Firmino grabbed a point in the penalty area, but he fell to the ground under Boateng's close pressure and failed to touch the football. The football eventually fell into Neuer's hands.Firmino was lying on the ground and raised his hands to signal to the referee that Boateng had committed a foul. However, the referee did not call a penalty this time, but just hooked Firmino to signal to hurry up.

His move drew boos from the stands - the Liverpool fans clearly thought this should have been a penalty.

However, the British commentator did not think so: "It is difficult to say whether Boateng committed a foul. There is physical contact for sure, but physical contact does not mean a foul. Moreover, Liverpool has already been awarded a penalty kick, and Bayern has also been awarded a penalty kick. After a player is sent off, the referee must also consider the balance of the game. It is impossible to award a penalty kick easily. Unless the evidence is conclusive and indisputable, he will act cautiously as long as there is a little controversy. So the Philippines Don't even think about getting another penalty kick from Ermino..."

In the 707th minute, Arturo Vidal made a mistake when passing the ball in the backcourt, and he sent the football to Lin Yi's feet.Of course, it may not be a mistake, but Lin Yi predicted Arturo Vidal's passing route in advance, so he got stuck on the route and waited.

Regardless of the reason, Lin Yi now has the ball.

After getting the ball, he didn't make any extra moves, but sent the football to the left side of the penalty area with a through ball.There, Salah received the ball and half-turned to shoot.

However, the quality of Salah's shot was not very high. It seemed like a pass and a shot without any power. Neuer easily got the ball.

It wasn't until the 80th minute of the game that Bayern had another shot. Arturo Vidal shot a long shot from nearly 30 meters in the middle, but the football flew high and failed to threaten Mi. In the goal guarded by Niolai, he didn't even make a save. He just stood there, looking up and watching the football fly over his head.

Although Arturo Vidal's shot did not score, for Liverpool, they did not care about this issue at all. They were more concerned about their offense.

After watching the football fly out, Mignolet turned around and ran behind the goal, asking the ball boy for the ball.

The ball boy was also very understanding and threw the football in his hand without waiting for Mignolet to urge him.

For Liverpool, time is passing by and there is not much time left for them...

"No. 80 minutes of the game. Counting injury time, there are at most 15 minutes of game time. Facing the stubborn Bayern, Liverpool must score. If they can't win this game, then basically It’s time to say goodbye to the Champions League final..." said the British commentator.

The Liverpool fans in the stands sang and danced to cheer for their team.At the last moment, as fans, they can only do this.

From minute No. 801 to minute No. 805, in 4 minutes, Liverpool did not take a shot and kept passing the ball.

Lin Yi kept running around, catching and passing the ball.

When he was not in possession of the ball, he would make gestures to ask his teammates to calm down and stabilize the rhythm.

At this time, we cannot pursue the quantity of shots, but the quality.If they want to take more shots, then they can take one long shot per minute, but they cannot threaten Bayern's goal. Even if Liverpool has a hundred shots in this game, it will be useless.In this process of constant turnover, Lin Yi has been observing and anticipating the situation, looking for openings that can be exploited.

It was not until the 806th minute that Bayern finally showed a flaw in the continuous turnovers.

Lin Yi immediately launched a fatal pass!
He distributed the football to Milner, who was almost unguarded on the left side of the penalty area!
"Milner—!"

When the ball flew towards Milner, everyone saw the situation he was in. The Liverpool fans cheered hugely and the British commentator also exclaimed.

Amid thunderous shouts, Milner raised his foot to stop the ball.

But maybe the opportunity was so good that Milner himself couldn't believe it, which caused him to be distracted.Anyway, when he raised his foot to stop the ball, he actually stopped the ball too big!

The football did not stop at his feet obediently, but jumped out directly... and bounced towards Neuer who was attacking.

Neuer, who struck in time, received the "big gift" from Milner. He fell to the ground and hugged the football in his arms!
"Oops——!" He Wei yelled regretfully. "Milner, Milner! How can this ball be stopped? Besides, there is no need to stop, you can just hit it directly! Alas, this may be Liverpool's best attack so far after scoring the first goal What an opportunity! It was just wasted!"

There was also a huge sigh in the stands.

Milner, who missed the opportunity, put his head in his hands, worried that he had missed the best chance for Liverpool to win the game.

"Firmino missed the penalty kick, and Milner's perfect opportunity was blocked... It seems that Liverpool is really unlucky today. Maybe God is really on Bayern's side?" UK The commentator also felt that Liverpool's game was really weird. There were so many opportunities, sure-to-goal opportunities, perfect opportunities that could change the outcome of the game in any game, but Liverpool didn't seize any of them. The score of 1:1 has been frozen until now.

"God is on our side! God is German tonight!" the commentator on the German radio station shouted with excitement.

The various scenes of this game really make people wonder, maybe there is really the so-called curse of defending the Champions League?

After Milner wasted an excellent opportunity, the game time seemed to pass faster. In the blink of an eye, the fourth official stood on the sidelines and raised the sign indicating injury time. Everyone was shocked. Juejiu's 10-minute game time has come.

The number displayed on the stoppage time sign is "5", which means there are 5 minutes of stoppage time.

The injury time is longer than the normal game, after all, the game was interrupted in the second half.

But for Liverpool fans, the length of this injury time did not satisfy them.

Is 5 minutes enough time for Liverpool to score a goal?
If they were facing some unknown player, it would not be a problem, but now they are facing Bayern, which is of similar strength, and it is also a Bayern that is stubborn.Those 5 minutes seemed a bit insufficient...

When the sign indicating 5 minutes of injury time was held up by the fourth official and shown to all the fans and cameras, many Liverpool fans in the South African stands stood up from their seats and stopped sitting. Go down.

No one has the heart to sit and watch the game now, they are all anxious to death.

Many people put their hands on their hearts and prayed to God, hoping that God would hear their voices.

But they seem to have forgotten that God is on Bayern's side tonight.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Bayern completely recovered. No one in front was left behind, and everyone entered the 1-meter area.Facing Bayern, which defended until the end of the game, Liverpool formed a siege.

At this time, it is a bit difficult for the players to calm down and organize the offense.

As soon as the stoppage time sign was raised, it was like turning on a switch, releasing the impatience of the Liverpool players.

When Royce got the ball from the outside, he didn't pass the ball to Lin Yi, but took a long shot himself.

As a result, the ball could not penetrate the dense crowd in Bayern's penalty area and bounced off Alonso.

Fortunately, Liverpool quickly controlled the ball and prevented the ball from falling to the opponent's feet.

Generally, when faced with a dense defense and little time left, the offensive side will adopt two methods to try to break the situation. The first move is a long shot, and the second move is a cross from the side, outflanking the center.

Royce's long-range shot did not work, and Liverpool naturally moved the football to the wing.

Then the inserted full-back Manquillo passed the ball high to the goal.

At the last moment, the full-backs became wingers.

And Lovren also rushed into the penalty area and became a center...

The ball passed by Manquillo was not hit by Lovren, Firmino or Salah.

Boateng did not let the football slip away from him this time. He jumped high and shook his head to push the football out.

This time it was Lin Yi who controlled the landing point. When everyone was rushing towards the door, he did not go in, but was outside the penalty area.This is in line with his characteristics and style. With his physical condition, even if he enters the penalty area, he can't squeeze out those muscle maniacs. He has no chance at all, and he might even become a burden to his teammates.

It's better to stay outside the penalty area, try to control the second point, and if there is a chance, use a very insidious long-range shot - just like he has done countless times before, he has many balls They were all shot from outside the penalty area. He is obviously thin and does not look like a powerful player, but he is very good at scoring goals with long shots...

Because he is good at skillful shooting and cold shooting.

Lin Yi, who controlled the second spot, did not take a long shot, but suddenly sent a through ball. The football rolled against the turf into the open space in the penalty area, and accurately found Salah.

Salah did not stop the ball, but followed Lin Yi's pass and turned around to shoot!

This was a very sudden attack, with a sudden pass and a sudden shot, but Neuer still made a wonderful and timely save. He fell to the ground and blocked the football with his legs!
"Salah - Neuer!" The British commentator's tone changed one after another, and finally settled on Neuer's name. "What an incredible save! Liverpool's attack was originally very good and suddenly sharp. Whether it was Lin Yi's pass or Salah's shot, they were both very good, but in the end it was Neuer's save that was better. good!"

"Salah also missed an excellent opportunity! But it is difficult to say that this is Salah's own mistake. In fact, he has done a good enough job. This is obviously... Neuer's save is more beautiful!" He Wei Also very helpless.
