Xu Qi leaned against the tall Mertesak with his body.

Since he rushed into the penalty area and turned his back to the opponent's tall defender, he was the fulcrum of the team's offense. At this time, he must not be afraid of physical confrontation.

Mertesack also hugged Xu Qi faintly. Xu Qi was also very smart, spreading his arms and wanted to fall to the ground, so that the referee could see Mertesack holding his hands.

However, Mertsack has done a lot of this kind of thing, and he has made experience by hugging people. He supports Xu Qi with his arms and refuses to let Xu Qi fall to the ground.

He knew that if Xu Qi fell to the ground, the referee might not have a high probability of awarding a penalty, but what if he gave it a penalty?

At that time, he couldn't say anything.

Although Xu Qi faced such strict defense, Adriano was even more miserable on the other side. He was blocked by his Brazilian fellow Naldo with his palm and even his face.

At this time, Adriano couldn't see anything, let alone catch the ball.

At such a critical moment, how can Bremen's defense not be strict?

So, even if Judson knew that the opposite side was a dragon's den, he had to break through!

Thread to Xu Qi!

Bang!

The ball bounced out directly from the front of his feet and came to Xu Qi's feet at a very fast speed.

Xu Qi's upper body was completely picked up by the other party, and he couldn't even fall to the ground, but he still saw Judson's running.

Judson knew that Xu Qi could not turn around and shoot after getting the ball, so he had already stepped forward and entered the front of the penalty area. What he wanted was Xu Qi's fulcrum to make the ball for him!

Bullet up!

"No problem. If you want to shoot a gun, just say, I'll set it up for you!" How could Xu Qi not know Judson's intentions, resist Mertesacker, stretch out his right foot, push Judson's pass back, and push it to a position where there is no opponent's defender.

That position is a perfect shot position!

Judson greeted the ball, pulled his feet, and shot angrily!

Bang!

simply!

neat!

Just entered that way!

“goal!”

The score equalized, 2-2, and the score returned to the draw again. At this moment, the Donetsk miners and fans at the scene were in full swing.

Not only the fans of the Donetsk Miners were excited, but many neutral fans on the scene were also excited. They really hope that such a wonderful game would not end within ninety minutes. They really hope that the ball would be played in overtime!

Play overtime!

Including the injury time, there are still fifteen minutes left in the game. In such a short time, no one dares to put up a big push. If there is a big push in this situation, if there is a loophole in the future and the opponent catches a counterattack, they will have to pay the price of the championship.

Conceding the ball during this period of time will basically lose the game.

So, after the goal was entered, the coaches of both teams began to greet the players and arrange new tactical ideas.

At this time, Werder Bremen made a substitution adjustment.

The No. 9 Swedish Rosenberg was replaced with the high center forward No. 23 Almeida.

Judging from this substitution, it seems that it is necessary to strengthen the attack, but in fact, Schaff is just acting.

Rosenberg consumed a lot of physical energy, and at this time, he just needed to make a substitution, and Schaff also followed suit.

He still holds two substitution quotas in his hand. Now that changing one person is not going to put him in a passive situation.

On the other side, Lucescu still held his hand and seemed to be very confident in the players' physical fitness.

In fact, he is also holding on. After all, the level of the players on the court is indeed higher than that of the players on the bench.

At such a critical moment, Lucescu still hopes that the team will play with all the main players.

Although Donetsk Miners' bench players are more than enough to compete in the Ukrainian Super League, they still have to rely on the eleven main players to meet strong opponents in the Champions League and the Europa League.

"Maybe, in the summer, I have to find a few new players!" Lucesku whispered silently.

In the last ten minutes, the game was not as exciting as before. Both sides were unwilling to push the line too much, and they wanted to maintain the forward line. The three lines of the midfield and the defense line were closely combined to prevent the formation from being disconnected.

Such a conservative strategy is naturally difficult to create a threatening attack.

Of course, despite this, some opportunities were created, such as Xu Qi and William dribbled the ball outside the penalty area and each shot a long shot.

For example, Bremen's long pass was passed to Almeida's head, and Almeida used his height to remove the ball and shot with a blast!

These shots are quite threatening, but none of them scored!

The score of 2-2 was maintained until the third minute of injury stoppage time.

The referee finally blew the whistle to the end of the ninety-minute game, and the two sides tied. Next, overtime!

While preparing for overtime, Xu Qi and his teammates also lay on the sidelines to press their legs against each other to relieve fatigue.

This is Xu Qi's first time in overtime. In fact, in the ninety-minute game, his physical fitness has almost been overdrawn. In the next half hour, he really gritted his teeth and persevered.

"You can take advantage of these two or three minutes to recover as much as you can." Xu Qi was lying on the turf, and Serner was pressing his legs.

"Come on, my friend, the champion is not far from us." Serna seemed to be in good health, and still has the strength to inspire Xu Qi.

"Don't worry, I can still rush to their defense more than ten times, they will definitely not be able to defend themselves!" Xu Qi grinned.

More than a dozen times, just Xu Qi's own exaggeration. He might start to cramp when he can rush with the ball two or three times.

During this period, Xu Qi has never given up on physical training. At this time, his physical fitness is no longer inferior to most players in the top five European leagues.

Despite this, it is really hard to bear to have to go to overtime in such a fierce game.

The players on both sides didn't seem to want to get up and join the game as soon as possible, thinking of taking a little longer to rest.

The good referee has already started urging him. Although the referee has run for 90 minutes and is tired, I still have to do it. I stipulate that after these 90 minutes, both sides cannot rest as hard as halftime, just have a proper rest.

Soon, the players on both sides also stood up, each of them formed a circle in their own half, and began to motivate each other.

On the Donetsk Miners' side, Serna occupies a circle of players, and uses his shocking and infectious speech to inspire the team's morale!

"Guys! Do you want honor?"

"think!"

"Guys! Do you want money?"

"Of course I want to!"

"Do it well, guys! If we win the Europa League championship, we will have honors. If we win the Bremen team, our boss will give us a big bonus! You can have fun this summer!"

"Do it! Damn it!" Xu Qi was also angry. Although this speech was rude, it was expensive and realistic!

For this group of professional players, bonuses are the most important!

Many players think about how free and happy it would be to hug a large group of bikini beauties on a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean after the season ends!
