Chapter 177 Overtime winning rate

"Two consecutive overtime games in the Champions League, and the previous encounter with Manchester United in the league, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Arsenal!"

Andy Gray shook his head helplessly.

Arsenal has been unlucky this season. If it were another team, they would not be able to withstand the huge competition pressure.

It's admirable that Arsenal can persist until now.

In the game against Real Madrid, Arsenal even dragged it into overtime, which in itself is an extremely remarkable thing.

After entering overtime, the first half and the second half are 15 minutes each. How both sides make reasonable use of these two halves and whether they should consider penalty kicks require coordination by the head coaches of both sides.

At this time, Zidane and Mourinho were also racking their brains.

In fact, before the game, neither head coach could have imagined that the game would be so difficult and even drag into overtime or even a penalty shootout.

But overtime is right in front of them, and what they need to do is how to make the team play a better game within a limited state.

Whoops!

Whoops!

Whoops!

In both locker rooms, the players were all panting.

The physical fitness of Arsenal players is on the verge of reaching its limit, and the situation at Real Madrid is similar.

As the main attacker, Real Madrid also wasted a lot of physical energy in the game. After entering overtime, it is unknown how the game will proceed.

At the same time, they feel a vague sense of powerlessness against Arsenal.

They have scored three goals in a row at home. Under normal circumstances, many teams have given up on the game. No matter how bad the situation is, their morale will be greatly impacted or even collapse.

But not Arsenal!

They still gritted their teeth and tenaciously equalized the game.

In fact, when Arsenal scored the equalizer goal and dragged the game into overtime, the impact on Real Madrid was even greater.

This game is tough enough.

Many people never thought that the game would enter overtime. For them, it was within the plan to completely eliminate Arsenal in the main match and then prepare for the Champions League final.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and now they have to enter overtime, maybe even a penalty shootout!

Real Madrid players are discussing some details of overtime.

Many of them can be heard saying that some Real Madrid players are helpless about the game.

"These guys are too tough. If we can prevent the last attack, there will be no overtime!"

"In the final stage, there was no one around Kai. This is completely unreasonable!"

"Many people can't run!"

"Arsenal can't run anymore, but they haven't completed their counterattack yet!"

"It's still a matter of faith and perseverance!"

Real Madrid players complained a little, expressing a hint of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

But he was soon stopped by Zidane and began to listen attentively to the tactical arrangements.

The situation at Arsenal is similar, but there are more discussions.

"The defense on the left has come down, the midfielder and defenders need to hold on!"

Aubameyang said directly.

This is not a time when you have to save face and feel embarrassed to talk to your teammates. In this case, you should openly express all the problems.

Kanter raised his hands and said: "I don't know if I can last for the next 30 minutes. I estimate that I can only play for one and a half."

"I didn't run too much in the second half. I dropped back more to help you share the pressure!" Aubameyang said.

Seeing Aubameyang's actions, Saka also said to Lucky: "Captain, I will also retreat more to help you."

Lucai waved his hand directly and said, "You are responsible for attacking! Don't retreat unless necessary!"

Saka blinked: "Okay!"

On the other side, Mourinho is also encouraging his teammates again and again. At this time, all he can do besides making some tactical arrangements is to motivate his teammates.

The boost in morale will determine the quality of play in overtime.

Both sides were preparing intensively for the battle, and the five-minute break passed quickly.

"Guys, it's time for us to fight!"

Lucky stood up and greeted his teammates, and the Arsenal players also stood up one after another.

Their expressions were solemn.

Facing this crucial overtime game to advance to the Champions League final, they all acted extremely seriously.

Players from both sides walked out of the tunnel exposed.

The fans immediately became clamorous.

After Mourinho came out, he first raised his hands in the direction of the Arsenal fans, indicating that they would send more cheers to the players to keep them motivated.

The Arsenal fans were shouting until their voices were hoarse, but in the face of the coach's request, they still broke out into huge noises.

"The overtime is about to begin. The first and second halves total 30 minutes. In these 30 minutes, the two sides will decide the winner. If no goal is scored in any game, the game will be dragged into a cruel game. Penalty shootout!”

"For reference, Real Madrid has won three of the last four overtime games! The only one they lost was the inconsequential Western Conference Cup! It can be said that Real Madrid is extremely good at overtime!"

After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard on the side raised the information card in his hand and said:

"Arsenal has won six of the last six overtime games!" Richard couldn't help but paused. After digesting the information, he said; "These data all show that these two goals The team has a sufficient winning rate in the overtime period, but victory will only come to one side! Who can win the game and advance to the Champions League final?”

Wow!

The cheers at the scene became intense.

The reason is that Ronaldo continues to encourage fans to cheer, and these cheers also give Real Madrid players enough morale.

The atmosphere at home began to permeate, which undoubtedly brought great pressure to Arsenal.

Arsenal players have come to their own half, waiting for the game to start.

Their fighting spirit has not been weakened in any way by the home atmosphere.

At this time, the Arsenal players were all thinking about how to win the game.

In response to this atmosphere, the referee directly blew the whistle to start the game.

Arsenal took the lead.

"This is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2017/2018 season, Real Madrid VS Arsenal! After 90 minutes of the main game, the total score came to 4:4. With the score and away goals being the same, The two teams entered the overtime match!”

"The current situation is still at a balance stage. Will Arsenal break out of the siege, or will Real Madrid reach the Champions League final with the support of their home court?"

Before he finished speaking, Lucky suddenly moved forward to Real Madrid's penalty area and chose a dodge shot against Aubameyang's pass.

The ball flew towards Real Madrid's goal in an arc, hit the crossbar with a clang and flew out of the baseline.

Lucky's face was filled with regret.

Arsenal fans at the scene also held their heads.

"The quality of this shot is really good. To be able to maintain this condition during this period of time proves that Kai's condition is not that bad, and this is not good news for Real Madrid!"

Arsenal took the lead in attacking.

But Real Madrid is no less generous.

After Arsenal took the first shot, Real Madrid also completed an attack and shot.

A long-distance shot from Ronaldo, he spotted Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez's position leaning to the other side, so he shot directly.

The ball grazed the turf and shot towards Arsenal's goal.

However, Jimenez rubbed him with his foot during the slide. The ball shifted slightly and flew out against the left goal post.

"How dangerous!"

Andy Gray stroked his chest, his heart felt like it was about to jump out at that moment.

If Jimenez hadn't touched it, this shot would have been a disaster.

Real Madrid got the first corner kick in overtime.

"Fall back! Defend!"

Lucky called on his teammates to retreat.

Although the Arsenal players took a rest, the rest time was too short and they soon felt tired again.

But they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Also feeling tired are the Real Madrid players.

But they are the attacking side, so they have to look relaxed.

Real Madrid pressed hard and wanted to make some fuss about this corner kick, while almost all Arsenal players retreated to defend.

Lucky clung to Ronaldo.

Before the ball was kicked out, the two were already wrestling secretly.

Beep!

The moment the ball was kicked out.

Lucky and Ronaldo ran towards the center circle at the same time.

Hummels glanced at Ronaldo and moved his body slightly forward, blocking Ronaldo's path and allowing Lucky to pass.

In this case, Lucai took off successfully and completed the rescue with a reverse head shake!

"pretty!"

After landing, Lucky high-fived Hummels and praised him loudly.
