Real Madrid coach Ancelotti scanned his bench twice but still didn't make up his mind to make substitutions.

After all, there are almost no midfielders on Real Madrid's bench who can replace Fat Tiger.

The only midfielders who can block the defense are Camavinga and Chuameni.

But these two are still too young.

Camavinga and Chuameni have not yet reached the level of starting, and they have not yet fully grown up.

And this game is the Champions League final!

Now it's the last moment, Real Madrid is not only one goal behind but also one less!

There can't be any mistakes for Real Madrid!

Once they make a mistake, they will ruin the whole game.

It is obviously unwise to make rash substitutions and replace young players.

Now either keep the status quo and pray that the players on the field can break the deadlock.

Or replace an experienced veteran to see if he can help the team!

After all, young players may be nervous after they come on the court.

As a defensive player, the most unacceptable thing is to make mistakes due to nervousness.

And the defensive players who are replaced are definitely not as experienced as the players currently on the field.

So it is better for Ancelotti not to make any adjustments.

He also called Modric to the sidelines, intending to let Valverde or Modric in front retreat a little more.

Reduce their offensive participation and pay more attention to the defense.

Lin Jie's sudden counterattack before still scared Ancelotti.

He also realized that Dortmund is not without the ability to counterattack now!

There is still a need to take care of the defensive end, not to mention that they are one man less now.

Of course, Ancelotti actually has the idea of ​​making a substitution.

Of course, his change point is Marcelo, the left back!

But this time Ancelotti does not plan to make a substitution immediately.

The previous attack was still threatening, but there was no goal.

At this time, the players on the field were running-in very well and adapted to Dortmund's defensive routines.

Ancelotti still hopes to give the players on the field more time to break the deadlock.

Of course, if the situation is still not opened up on the offensive end.

Then Ancelotti also plans to make a desperate attempt after substitutions at the last moment!

...

Back to the game.

Due to Fat Tiger's foul, Dortmund got a free kick opportunity in the backcourt.

Although Dortmund still has one more player at present.

However, Dortmund's current formation and personnel configuration determine that it is difficult for this Dortmund to play an effective offense.

Rashly changing the previous formation and choosing to press out is likely to give Real Madrid more space for counterattacks.

In this way, if Real Madrid scores an equalizer at the last moment, it will be a bit of a loss.

It is better to stay in the backcourt and steadily defend the last few minutes and steadily win the Champions League.

After all, Real Madrid is now one less player, and the intensity of the offense must be reduced a lot.

So after Dortmund took the free kick, they also chose to control the ball under their feet, and continuously chamfered the ball to waste time.

However, this is the final of the Champions League after all. After seeing Dortmund's time-consuming tactics, the referee also chose to quietly relax the scale.

As the referee, he knew very well that this game must not end like this.

Especially at this last moment.

The referee's approach also made it easier for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid players became more and more anxious after seeing Dortmund players start to chamfer the ball to waste time.

In the case of anxiety, the movements were also larger, and under the referee's deliberate indulgence, the friction between the two sides was gradually increasing.

Soon there was a shove between the players.

However, Real Madrid players also knew that there was not much time left.

They also knew that there was no benefit in entangled with Dortmund too much, and the time left for them to attack would only continue to decrease!

After quickly adjusting their mentality and under the referee's indulgence, Real Madrid quickly regained the ball.

Real Madrid's attack came again!

But obviously after Real Madrid lost one man, Dortmund's defense line was more stable!

There were enough troops on the defensive end, and even a defensive player could be arranged to rush out and press the ball point!

Sometimes it was Lin Jie, and sometimes it was other players.

After all, Dortmund had more measures to deal with one more player on the field.

Under such pressure, the defensive pressure faced by the player holding the ball was also greatly increased.

Often crosses were made under pressure.

The threat caused by this cross is naturallyStraight down.

And Lin Jie's counterattack before really scared the Real Madrid players.

They were not so relaxed on defense.

The combination of these two caused Real Madrid's offense to not play as well as it should have during this period.

As the head coach of Real Madrid.

Ancelotti saw the situation on the field and realized that he had to make personnel adjustments!

He was still hesitating whether to change, thinking about giving the players on the field more time.

But now there is no time for them to try!

Ancelotti quickly made personnel adjustments!

Mendy was taken down and Marcelo was taken up!

After all, Marcelo is a veteran player of Real Madrid.

He is the hero of three consecutive championships and is quite rich in experience.

Marcelo is also quite good in offensive ability.

Ancelotti also hopes that experienced veterans like him can bring some turnaround to the team!

And with the appearance of Marcelo, Real Madrid's offense has been revitalized!

Compared to Mendy, Marcelo is much worse in confrontation and defense.

But as a Brazilian player, Marcelo's height of 174cm gives him enough flexibility!

With the excellent dribbling skills and good fancy skills of Samba football.

Facing Dortmund's defensive players, Marcelo has better breakthrough ability than Mendy!

After the substitution, Real Madrid's attack continued!

Most of Real Madrid's attacks during this period were launched from the left.

Due to Lin Jie's counterattack just now, Real Madrid had to send someone to stay in the midfield.

Instead of participating in the attack as before, only one midfielder and one central defender were left.

With Fat Tiger being sent off, Valverde and Modric needed to retreat frequently.

This caused the organizational ability in the middle of the midfield to decline rapidly.

The original multi-directional and multi-angle offensive rhythm no longer exists!

And there is not much time left for Real Madrid!

The game has been going on for 87 minutes!

Real Madrid must play simply and directly!

Constant long passes and lobs hit Dortmund's penalty area, creating enough threats and enough chaos!

Compared to Hazard, Bale's header ability is obviously better.

Naturally, the attack is all long passes from the left.

Of course, there will be some long passes from the right occasionally, initiated by Valverde, but the threat is definitely more from the left.

And with the appearance of Marcelo, the attack on the left naturally became the most important offensive direction.

As Marcelo quickly became familiar with the rhythm on the field and played a perfect match with Hazard.

Dortmund's right defense gradually got out of control!

Soon in the 89th minute!

Marcelo passed Munier who came out to interfere with him with a beautiful fried meatball!

After passing Munier, Marcelo continued to advance towards Dortmund's penalty area!

The Dortmund defenders in the penalty area did not dare to delay at all, and Emre Can quickly rushed forward to interfere with Marcelo.

Marcelo looked towards Hazard the first time he saw Emre Can rushing out.

But at this time, Akanji rushed out in advance after losing his position on Munier.

Now he has successfully intercepted the ball on the line where Hazard can receive the ball!

Marcelo's plan to pass the ball to Hazard has completely failed!

This is the advantage of playing with one more player!

Even if Marcelo beautifully passed a Dortmund defender.

He was still greeted by a relatively complete defensive formation!

There would be no situation of missing people at all.

There was no way, looking at Emre Can who was approaching him quickly, Marcelo could only choose to come by himself.

Quickly pushed the ball forward, adjusted in one step, and made a 45-degree direct pass.

This naturally made Emre Can, who was rushing towards Marcelo, pause.

Then he immediately changed his action and rushed up to interfere with Marcelo's long pass.

At the same time, Emre Can was also ready to stop.

Of course, he was also ready to foul.

After all, the last time he faced Manchester City in the semi-finals.

It was that he didn't stop at the last moment, or the foul was not decisive enough.

Palmer took advantage of the loophole, resulting in Manchester City equalizing at the last moment!

Having made a mistake once, Emre Can naturally didn't want to be the sinner of the team again!

This time he was also ready.

What he was defending was Marcelo's fake pass.

But in the end, he was obviously a little cautious in this dive.

Marcelo really passed the ball!

It's just that at the moment of completing the pass,Marcelo's ankle pressed down!

This time Marcelo passed a low ball!

Although Dortmund's defensive players can give any chance in the defensive position.

But the players' outside rushing out still resulted in a large number of players missing in the penalty area!

The originally blocked defensive area now naturally has a large gap!

In the past, as long as Marcelo dared to pass such a low ball, it would be cleared by Dortmund's team at the front point!

But now with the outside rush of Munier, Emre Can and Akanji.

The three defensive players in front are no longer in the penalty area!

Because they suffered a loss from Manchester City's ball before, this time Dortmund's defensive players focused on the offensive players!

Especially Benzema, the center forward with the greatest threat.

After seeing Marcelo's breakthrough, Benzema quickly took a step forward and was about to move forward.

This directly led to Panglačić who stayed in the penalty area.

But Benzema suddenly braked after starting!

This time, Benzema only completed half a step forward!

Because he saw the gesture Marcelo gave him!

As old teammates, the two cooperated very well.

Benzema knew that Marcelo's pass was a low ball!

He leaned forward just to shake off Pongracic!

Marcelo's low pass was beyond the expectations of all Dortmund defenders!

It can be said that his kick was a divine kick!

Coupled with Benzema's final brake and waited for half a step, this half step was enough for Benzema to complete the push shot after receiving the ball!

You must know that at this time, there was no Dortmund player around Benzema who could interfere!

Benzema was a huge threat as long as he received the ball!

But just when Benzema was looking at the ball with confidence and preparing to shoot.

Suddenly, a figure appeared again from his side!

Lin Jie!

Once again, he correctly judged the passing line of Marcelo!

The attacking position from Inzaghi 98 gave Lin Jie the most suitable attacking position for this ball in the first place!

Although the attacking position obtained by Lin Jie from Inzaghi on the offensive end of this game did not show the effect he should have.

After all, as a midfielder, Lin Jie is the player who passes the ball, not the player who finishes.

There is no particularly good offensive opportunity for Lin Jie to grasp.

But on the defensive end, this 98 attacking position from Inzaghi showed its strength!

Lin Jie can often make the best attacking position judgment for the landing point of this kind of ball in the first place!

And with this advance prediction, Lin Jie can naturally reversely deduce the best defensive position!

With the terrifying burst speed, Lin Jie can often catch up and complete the defense in the first place!

It can be said that it shows the power of the 98 attacking position in another way.

This time is also the same!

After realizing the direction of Marcelo's pass, Lin Jie immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated.

When Benzema paused for half a step, Lin Jie decisively blocked Benzema's position with his body.

Although Benzema's keen sense of smell and the tacit cooperation between his teammates made him slightly faster than Lin Jie in the position.

But obviously under Lin Jie's interference, Benzema could not handle the ball well.

Even if Benzema successfully received the ball, he could not complete a beautiful shot after receiving the ball as expected.

Although Benzema finally completed the final shot.

But under Lin Jie's confrontation and interference, Benzema's shot obviously lost the suddenness of the first one.

Dortmund goalkeeper Kerber also had enough time to prepare.

In addition, Lin Jie's blocking made Benzema's space for shooting passively reduced.

The area that Kerber needed to defend was greatly reduced.

In the end, Benzema's shot was saved by goalkeeper Kerber.

Benzema and Real Madrid missed a great chance to equalize and only got a corner kick.

At this time, the game time has reached the 88th minute of regular time!

There is really not much time left for Real Madrid!
