Chapter 186 The Score Is Tied

During the half-time break, Tuchel did not blame the players too much, but just kept emphasizing that they should stay stable and defend more carefully.

From a tactical perspective, Tuchel has no problems.

Any goal scored in the first half is a manifestation of the fulfillment of tactics.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Unexpected events happen. No one can predict the future on the field. The most important thing is the players playing on the field.

Tuchel is more of a psychological massage for some of the "frightened" Dortmund players.

After all, when Atletico Madrid really stared, the control on the field, even if he was off the field, he could feel the pressure and suffocation.

At halftime, the Dortmund players came out of the locker room with solemn faces, while the Atletico Madrid players were chatting and laughing.

"How about it, are you desperate? It's just a snap of the fingers to defeat you. We don't need to exert any effort at all."

Torres deliberately found Wang Po and stared at him, laughing and pausing word by word.

"You look like a clown. This is a 180-minute game. Are you already impatient to open the champagne after only 45 minutes?" Wang Po looked up and met Torres' gaze, curling his lips and said.

"Just wait and see. In the second half, I will definitely defeat you completely and easily solve you in the first round."

Obviously, in Torres' eyes, the mere Dortmund team did not attract his attention.

Torres is not the only one who is arrogant and arrogant. From Simeone to the players of Atletico Madrid, all of them look high and mighty.

"Beep"

With a whistle, the second half of the game began.

Atletico Madrid did not intend to give Dortmund another chance. It adopted a completely different tactic from the first half and took the initiative to attack.

Even on defense, Saul still showed his talent in attack for Atletico Madrid, which was defending by all players.

Simeone intended to let Saul's position be advanced in the second half and participate more in the attack.

In the 57th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's attack came.

Griezmann, who was on the side, faced the double-team defense of Dortmund and passed the defender of Dortmund by passing through the small gate. Facing Subotic who blocked the passing and shooting routes, Griezmann chose to pass the ball back to Saul at the top of the penalty area.

Wang Po had been watching this for a long time and moved towards Saul in advance. The latter seemed to have noticed it and passed the ball to Carrasco who was inward on the wing without stopping. After a bicycle kick, the latter dribbled the ball to the middle along the penalty area line, found a gap for shooting, and shot through Schmelzer's goal.

2 to 1.

Under the terrifying firepower of Atletico Madrid, the gate of Dortmund, who played at home, was lost again.

The score was behind and the opponent had two away goals.

For Dortmund, one foot had fallen on the edge of the cliff and there was no way back.

After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid had no intention of retreating, and Simeone was still calling on the players to press forward.

After several consecutive attacks, Dortmund was shaky and panicked under the attacks of Torres, Griezmann, Carrasco and others.

Fortunately, it was their own goal, the door frame and the goalpost helped a lot.

Atletico Madrid's massive pressure will inevitably cause the defense to be empty.

The open space is exactly what the speed forwards, Aubameyang, Ousmane Dembele, and of course Wang Po like the most.

At the top of the penalty area, Wang Po protected his own second penalty kick, and a hook clearance hit the ball directly into Atletico Madrid's half.

Flanking on both wings, Ousmane Dembele and Aubameyang quickly gathered in the middle.

Veteran Godin is worthy of being one of the world's top defenders. He predicted the landing point of the ball in advance and blocked the position.

In the first half, Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele had already fought with Godin in the penalty area. Knowing that the opponent's physical resistance was superior, they did not rush to confront the opponent physically, but waited for the second point after the ball landed.

Perhaps it was the rise of the frontcourt attack, and the veteran Godin was obviously a little arrogant in handling this ball.

Generally speaking, when defenders encounter this situation, they often kick the ball without waiting for the ball to land.

But Godin, who stayed in the backcourt for a long time, also wanted to contribute to his team's offense and tried to stop the ball and organize the offense. Ousmane Dembele, who was bombarded, caught the opportunity and stole the ball with one foot.

The ball was intercepted, and there was an open space behind him, which was a single shot facing the goalkeeper.

Godin fell to the ground with a scream, trying to cheat the whistle with a fake fall.

However, the referee was in a good position and was not confused by Godin's screams at all, so he signaled him to get up.

At the same time, after receiving the ball, Ousmane Dembele rushed in at high speed, and Aubameyang, who was running parallel to him, opened up space and angle for passing the ball on the other side.

With a single shot, the two forwards of the opponent basically declared that they had lost the ball.

Oblak chose to bet on Ousmane Dembele and rushed out to save the ball.

Facing the "death struggle" of the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, Ousmane Dembele lightly passed the ball to Aubameyang on the other side, who pushed the ball into the empty goal.

2 to 2.

The score was tied.

In an extremely unfavorable situation, relying on a somewhat "lucky" ball, Dortmund tied the score.

"Stupid."

Simeone on the sidelines yelled angrily, even though he was the captain of the team and a veteran who had fought for many years, he still did not shy away from saying that he was the boss and soul of the team.

For such scenes, the players of the Dortmund team have become accustomed to it.

At this time, the Dortmund team and the fans no longer thought about away goals, they just wanted to win the game.

A draw, the two teams are back to the same starting line.

To be honest, this goal was very hurtful to the morale of the Atletico Madrid team. They obviously had an absolute advantage on the field, but they were inexplicably tied. What should they do next?

Many Atletico Madrid players were not convinced by losing the ball in this way. Torres was the first to bear the brunt. He called on his teammates to continue to press forward.

At this time, with this score, offense and defense are a choice for Atletico Madrid.

Attack? In the situation, Atletico Madrid is definitely the dominant side of the ball. Continuing to strengthen the offense is likely to take the lead. Of course, pressing the offense means exposing the defense space and there is also the possibility of losing the ball.

Defense? With a draw and two away goals, Atletico Madrid still has a big advantage. After all, this is a 180-minute, two-round match.

A decision needs to be made immediately. The most terrible thing is that teammates have different ideas on the court.
