Chapter 162 Take the Trophy Home!
"Shit, how can this game be so tiring!"
"Why can't we get rid of them!"
"Hey! Guys, we must score! Score another one!"
"We want to, but these guys are like chewing gum and we can't get rid of them at all!"
After the Juventus players returned to the locker room, their expressions were extremely tired.
Although it is clear that there is a gap in intensity between the Champions League and the league, and the opponents will become extremely powerful.
But they have always believed that their ability is enough to win the honor of the championship.
But in this game, they scored two goals in a row, but Arsenal tied the score.
This psychological pressure made them feel extremely anxious.
Not only Juventus, but also Arsenal.
At this time, everyone in the Arsenal locker room was breathing heavily.
Due to the excessive running problem in the first half, their physical energy consumption was very large.
The average running volume in this game is almost several times that of the past.
This high-intensity running brought goals, but also consumed a lot of their physical energy.
"In the second half, do we still have to play like this? I really can't run anymore!"
"If I run for a while longer, I'm really going to vomit."
"We have to think of a way, we can't go on like this."
Arsenal players are expressing their opinions one by one.
But generally speaking, it's because they can't keep running.
Lekai is also panting heavily. His running distance is among the best in the team, so his physical energy consumption is even greater.
Even if they have specially carried out targeted physical training, this thing can't last long.
"Okay, everyone shut up, the professor is coming in!"
Lekai shouted, and no one spoke.
Wenger and Patel and other coaches came in.
As soon as they came in, they clapped and said:
"Boys, you played great!"
"Your performance was great!"
"Keep going in the second half!"
The coaches were praising them with a smile, which also made the players feel a little excited, and strength emerged out of thin air.
Wenger is also paying attention to the changes in the players.
He knew that this kind of recovery in the state of chicken blood was an illusion. As long as the game resumed, the problem would be exposed again.
So, the strategy must be changed in the second half.
"In the second half, we have to have more confrontations in the midfield."
Wenger said directly.
Hearing this, Cazorla and Lekai straightened their backs slightly.
Wenger looked at the two and said, "You two have always been responsible for Arsenal's midfield organization and attack and defense conversion tasks. Whether we can play the rhythm we want in the second half, your performance is crucial."
Cazorla's recent performance can no longer be described as excellent.
Since entering the second half of the season, Cazorla's performance has exceeded his upper limit and has completely reached a peak level.
Cazorla at this time is definitely a Champions League champion-level player.
He just needs someone to help him create a stage for him to display.
And this person belongs to Lekai,
"Kai! I don't need you to suppress Pirlo and others in the second half."
Lekai's mouth slightly grinned.
Suppressing Pirlo, this is simply impossible.
"I just need you to fight him as much as possible. I know this task is difficult, but you have to do it, so that our plan can proceed smoothly."
"Both the striker and Cazorla need you to provide them with a stage, so your task in the second half is to pass the ball to the dangerous point at the moment of attack and defense conversion. You can decide where this dangerous area is!"
Lekai's offensive method is different from any midfielder at this stage.
And his passing position is also weird and changeable, which is completely uncontrollable.
Therefore, compared to setting a passing range for him, Wenger tends to let him play freely.
Pass the ball to the dangerous area that Lekai thinks, so as to open up Arsenal's offensive method.
Although Wenger doesn't know where Lekai will pass, Lekai has this ability.
The only one in this task is to appear on the defensive end!
Arsenal is strictly a single defensive midfielder.
For this reason, Lekai has more pressure on the defensive end.
"I understand!"
Lekai took a deep breath.
It's nothing more than running more.
This is Lekai's understanding. He can't defend a large area without the help of his teammates.
As mentioned before, Lekai can't run faster than the ball passed.
So, what he needs to do is to expand the running distance.
"Okay, so everyone should rest well, and we are ready for the second half of the game!"
After that, everyone began to rest in silence.
At the same time, their brains were running at high speed, thinking about what might happen in the second half.
On the other side, the Sky Sports commentary station was also analyzing the situation of the game.
Andy Gray said: "The first half of the game was very exciting. Both sides were holding on to the score. In 45 minutes, both sides created 4 goals. The rhythm was very fast, but the problem was the second half!"
"The sequelae of being too aggressive in the first half is a large loss of physical energy. How to create an advantage in the second half when the physical energy is insufficient is a key!"
Richard nodded and said: "Yes! In this regard, we need to be more vigilant about Juventus' midfield line. Compared with Arsenal's whole team running a lot, Juventus' midfielder stole the ball in the first half. A lot of laziness, they can be in a better state to face the second half, and how to confront the opponent's midfield while bringing effective offense and counterattack is a problem that Arsenal needs to solve."
This sentence is just short of mentioning Lucky's name directly.
Andy Gray laughed and said: "I think according to Wenger's tactical arrangements in recent years, he will put the weight of victory on the defensive midfielder!"
Richard also laughed: "But he is trustworthy, isn't he?"
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans across London are also waiting nervously.
Although the equalizer was completed late in the first half, it made them extremely excited.
But the second half was still a problem.
They don't want to lose!
Arsenal have already failed once in the Champions League final. This time they want to win and take the damn trophy home!
But these all require the performance of the Gunners to obtain.
For this reason, they waited anxiously one by one. They looked forward to the Gunners performing better in the second half.
In this case, the players on both sides walked out of the tunnel again.
They changed sides and came to the opposite side, ready to start the second half of the game.
Standing on both sides of the court, everyone had a solemn look on their faces compared to the first half.
After all, the game will be over after 45 minutes.
The winner will also be determined.
No one dares to be careless at this time.
Of course, they feel more pressure from each other.
The performance of both Juventus and Arsenal in this Champions League final was extremely exciting.
Although there was no crazy flipping drama like the night in Instanbul, the two teams competed for each other and the uncompromising game still made the game extremely heated.
It can be said that compared with the Champions League in the years dominated by La Liga, this Champions League final is more exciting and full of uncertainty.
After halftime, the game still had no formal advantages.
Both sides played well at their own pace.
Just like what he said before the game.
The reason why a strong team is a strong team is that they can implement their own style of play.
Once they find their own rhythm, they can quickly score goals and gain an advantage.
But in this game, both teams scored two goals in their areas of expertise.
It's a head-to-head confrontation, with no one giving an inch.
Lucky stood in the middle of the field, taking deep breaths to adjust his breath.
Feeling the changes in his body, despite wasting a lot of pressure through a lot of running in the first half, Lucky still felt like he could persevere.
And this is the Champions League final!
It is never easy to win the championship. If you want to win the championship, it depends on who has better adjustment ability and who can persevere better in the face of difficulties.
Phew~~~~~~~~~
Lucky exhaled slowly and said loudly:
"guys!
Let's try to score a few more goals in the second half, and then take home the Champions League trophy!
"
The Arsenal players looked shocked.
When they think of the trophy, their eyes become hot.
On the other side, Juventus is in the same situation.
Who doesn't want the Champions League trophy.
Especially for these two teams.
But there is only one trophy!
Only the winner will be the protagonist tonight!
