When Atletico Madrid was tied at 2:2 by Shakhtar, the news quickly reached Chelsea.
Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief at first, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just to be sure, what does this goal mean?"
The assistant coach was stunned for a moment, and then discovered that the news they had received was: In the 77th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid and Miners were tied at 2:2, and the Miners forward took advantage of the opportunity to return the ball and score an empty goal.
In just two minutes, Ancelotti looked at the blues in white and blue (yellow in the 21-22 season) running on the field with some confusion, and murmured: "Is Chelsea going to advance based on this result?"
Then, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, "Nicholas! Run, don't let me see you walking! We want to score a goal!"
…
The snow above the Donbas Arena is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it is also complaining about the goal just now.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Luis Adriano's goal just now did not cause huge cheers from the fans, although there was still some disdain on his lips.
The game continued, and everyone at Atletico Madrid regarded this game as the last Champions League game, and they were merciless.
The 79th minute of the game.
Paul Assuncao made a tackle from behind, knocking Stepanenko down directly from behind. This tackle had an obvious retaliatory nature.
Moreover, Paul Assuncao directly showed the sole of his shoe, and the referee unceremoniously sent him off with a red card.
Everyone in Atletico watched this scene silently, and then went over to hug Paul Assuncao, "Well done!"
Lindy also came over and stroked Paul's head, "I'm a little impatient, wait and see how I defeat them!"
Flores slapped his forehead on the sidelines and it was over. At this time, the players' anger could no longer be suppressed.
He could only roar on the sidelines to tell the players to calm down.
But no matter how heavy the snow is in the Donbas Arena, it cannot suppress the fire in the hearts of Atletico Madrid players.
Seeing the angry expressions of each of the players, he was also a little helpless!
When Paul Assuncao came down, Flores put a down jacket on him with his own hands and comforted him, "Paul, when I was young, I would have beaten him!"
This greatly moved Paul Assuncao, who was sent off with a red card. He was already prepared to be scolded by Flores, but he didn't expect the head coach to say these words to him, but at the same time He also saw the other party's helplessness, "Thank you, boss! I will definitely not be impulsive next time!"
Flores sighed and motioned for Paul Assuncao to go in and rest first.
No matter what, it was originally a glimmer of hope. If something like this happened, it could only be considered bad luck.
Just like when you meet a garbage man on the street, the best way is not to fight him, but to avoid him!
Shakhtar players were checking Stepanenko's condition, and there seemed to be some signs of injury.
However, within two minutes, the opponent started dribbling the ball vigorously. It was obvious that he fell to the ground just now to delay time. Paul Assuncao would not directly destroy other people's legs because of this matter. He still has this quality.
"Atletico Madrid's midfielder Paul Assuncao was emotional and shoveled Stepanenko from behind, and was sent off by the referee with a red card. In a game where winning is the only way to qualify, Atletico Madrid, who are fighting with one less player, are now facing When the crisis comes, there are only ten minutes left in the game, let's see if a miracle can happen!"
Lao Duan also took over Lao Liu's words and said regretfully: "Ten against eleven, it seems that Atletico Madrid not only needs some luck now, but may also need some blessing from God."
The 83rd minute of the game.
Adriano received a pass from William in the midfield and was about to turn around when a huge force came from his shoulder and pushed him away.
"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded again, but the foul was just the right size. The referee also knew that everyone at Atletico Madrid was on fire right now. If it wasn't a flagrant foul, he wouldn't play the card first. Showing a yellow card at will may cause the situation to get out of control!
At this time, Lindy still looked innocent, spreading his hands, "I just touched him lightly~"
Then he shook his head and left without looking at Adriano who fell on the ground.
The 84th minute of the game.
The Miners kicked off, and Fernandinho handed the ball to Willian on the wing, who was about to tip the ball into the backcourt.
Before he could turn around, he was dribbled out of the sideline by someone else.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded again, and Reyes received a yellow card.
The players of the Shakhtar team have surrounded Reyes, and the players of Atletico Madrid have also arrived, and there is another conflict.
Fortunately, the referee appeared very timely and showed a yellow card to William and Uyfalusi respectively, and everyone gradually dispersed.
Flores on the sidelines could no longer sit still. He replaced Uyfalusi with Perea, and Cabrera replaced Domingos. Seeing Simao who could no longer run at all, he could only Let Ibra play and called Lindy, "Let everyone calm down. If we score another goal, we can still qualify. Don't die in the Donbas Arena! What we want is victory!"
After that, he slapped Lindy on the head twice, and the latter also sobered up a lot after Florence's yelling.
Lindy slapped his face twice to wake himself up. What the game wants is the result, "Okay, boss! What we want is victory!"
Later, Lindy found his teammates one by one and conveyed the coach's meaning.
Everyone began to calm down gradually and stared at the Miners. Victory was the best way to get revenge.
The game continues to start.
Atletico are no longer focused on retaliating against Shakhtar's players with ferocious tackles.
But the Shakhtar players were already starting to have some lingering fears, because Stepanenko found some discomfort in his legs in the 85th minute of the game and was replaced to rest. It seemed that the injury was caused by the tackle just now. .
Seeing Stepanenko being substituted, everyone felt sad.
The game has reached the 85th minute, and no one wants to be injured in the last game of the group stage and be unable to participate in the subsequent knockout rounds.
Game time is 88 minutes.
Atletico Madrid got an opportunity in the frontcourt. Jurado's pressing in the frontcourt caused full-back Srna to make a mistake and the football passed to Aguero's feet.
Facing Culce's follow-up defense, Aguero accelerated his direction and directly entered the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Piatov's early positioning blocked the angle of the shot.
In the end, Aguero's shot was blocked from the baseline, and Atletico Madrid won a corner kick in the frontcourt.
Flores hid his face in disappointment, "Oh God!"
"Aguero burst in and hit it alone!"
"Shoot!"
"Goalkeeper Piatov blocked the ball brilliantly."
"It's such a pity. The game time is coming to an end and the fourth official is preparing for injury time..."
The corner kick was taken quickly, but was confiscated directly by goalkeeper Piatov.
The fourth official signaled 6 minutes of stoppage time. This was Atletico Madrid's last chance to advance.
"There is not much time left for Atletico Madrid. In another stadium, the match between Chelsea and Wolfsburg was still tied 0:0 in 90 minutes, with 2 minutes of injury time. We can already start from Ancelotti I saw a faint smile on his face, it seems that he has also learned the news here." Liu was a little regretful that Lindy's first Champions League trip might have failed at the Donbas Arena.
