On the court, after Chu Zheng got up, Benaglio hugged Chu Zheng heavily when he came back to show his gratitude to Chu Zheng.
To be honest, as long as Chu Zheng is on the court now, Benaglio will have inexplicable confidence even in attacking.
Just like this time, Naldo let Selziev slip away, and he attacked without thinking, without even thinking about whether he would miss.
Although the result was terrible, Chu Zheng once again appeared on the goal line behind him, saving him and the team.
"Dieter, maybe we should prepare for overtime and penalty shootouts!" Eddie came over to remind in the coaching area on the sidelines.
"I know!" Dieter Heijing nodded, but did not move, still watching the game on the field without blinking.
The game up to this point is really beyond Dieter's expectations.
Especially the Dnipro goalkeeper, his state was even worse than in the first round.
Although the discipline and tactical execution of Dnipro's players are very good, the players' ability is actually on the surface. They cannot defend as tightly as Naples.
But the goalkeeper was possessed by God, and Dieter Heijing was really helpless.
He didn't want to play overtime at all.
Especially the penalty shootout.
Dieter Heijing knew that small teams like Dnipro, which competed in European competitions, had definitely studied penalty shootouts carefully.
As for Wolfsburg, although they have simulated penalty shootouts in training sessions, the number of times is really not that many.
So he still wanted to solve Dnipro in overtime.
"Eddie, I kind of want Chu to play in the midfielder!" After hesitating for a while, Dieter Heijin suddenly turned his head and looked at Eddie.
"Are you crazy? Are you prepared for Chu and Kevin and others to be injured, and for the team's main players to suffer massive injuries?" Eddie frowned and said in a harsh tone, "Dieter, we still have the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
There is a game to be played, and this is not the only game!”
At this moment, Eddie really felt that his partner was a bit crazy.
Originally, the players had not had a good rest due to the harassment from the opposing fans, and now after 90 minutes of fierce battle, their physical energy was severely exhausted.
In addition, the weather was cold and the venue was slippery due to rain.
In this dire situation, Dieter Heijing still wanted to attack.
When thinking of Chu Zheng's aggressive offensive style, Eddie felt that in the first half of overtime, all their players had to lie on the ground and kick with their knees.
As soon as these words came out, Dieter Heijin immediately thought of Chu Zheng's fierce and aggressive kicking style. He suddenly became excited and woke up immediately. So he immediately turned around and hurried back to the coaching bench with Eddie.
On the field, the game is still going on, but at this point in the game, Dnipro is also unable to attack.
Although Dnipro is playing at home and is familiar with the climate and venue, the rain battle actually has a great impact on them.
Not long after, referee Marzic blew the whistle directly, ending the 90-minute game in regular time.
"Okay, the regular time game is over, and the two sides are about to enter a 30-minute overtime!"
"If there is still no winner in overtime, the game will enter a brutal penalty shootout!"
"Director Zhang, do you think there will be a goal in overtime?" In the studio, He Wei looked at Zhang Lu beside him.
"Hehe!" Zhang Lu smiled and shook her head, "I personally think that there may not be a goal!"
"Let's talk about Dnipro first. Although they had an advantage in offensive statistics in the second half, their offensive methods were actually very simple."
"Cross from the wing, and the other is a set kick! They don't have the strength to attack head-on!"
"The several times they threatened Wolfsburg's goal were actually a lot of luck!"
"In the second half of the second half, after Chu Zheng and Nardo played more cautiously, their offensive effectiveness further declined!"
"As for Wolfsburg, it is obvious that the players are not in the best competitive condition!"
"So, I personally think the probability of a penalty shootout is quite high!"
At the Kiev Olympic Stadium, Wolfsburg and Dnipro players gathered on the sidelines to rest.
Chu Zheng stretched out his legs and sat on the wet turf. The wet jersey on his body had been replaced.
"Can you still hold on?" In front of Chu Zheng, assistant coach Olaf was massaging his muscles.
"Yeah!!" Chu Zheng nodded, he was too tired to speak.
At this moment, Chu Zheng wished he could just fall back and sleep.
This is the most depressing, frustrating and tiring game that Chu Zheng has played so far.
After a while, Dieter Heijin appeared next to Chu Zheng, squatted down directly, and handed the tactical board with various offensive and passing lines drawn in his hand to Chu Zheng's eyes.
"Chu, if you have a chance to play the ball directly from the backcourt, I will replace Schürrle and Bendtner and let them continue to attack Dnipro's defense!
"Okay!" Chu Zheng nodded, and then continued to listen to Dieter Heijing's explanation of the offensive tactics in overtime.
After a while, Dieter Heijing came to De Bruyne again with a tactical board.
Not long after, players from both sides returned to the field for overtime.
Dnipro, like Wolfsburg, used three substitutions directly.
But Dnipro head coach Marzic is different from Dieter Heijing. He replaced the midfielder and defender in order to strengthen defense.
Therefore, after the game started, it was obvious that Dnipro's tactical strategy changed to a defensive-oriented strategy.
So Wolfsburg took advantage of the situation and continued to look for opportunities to attack.
But Wolfsburg also has reservations about this kind of pressure.
Chu Zheng and Naldo never crossed the center line, obviously preparing for Dnipro's counterattack.
In the 96th minute of the game, Rodriguez suddenly sent a 40-meter pass from the left wing.
On the left side of the penalty area, Bendtner received the ball with his back, instantly attracting three Dnipro defensive players to surround him.
As a result, Bendtner did not stop the ball. Instead, he suddenly squatted down and rubbed the ball with his head.
Suddenly the ball went straight to the lower left corner behind him.
However, faced with this sudden refraction, Dnipro goalkeeper Boyko, who was highly focused, still pounced.
As he dived to the right, he moved his right hand down and pushed the ball directly out of the goal frame.
In the 104th minute of the game, Dnipro passed Wolfsburg's free kick from the left wing to clear the ball.
The ball landed on the left rib, allowing Dnipro midfielder Fedochuk to get it. He quickly took it horizontally to the top of the arc, trying to transfer the ball to his own left wing.
As a result, Chu Zheng suddenly came out from the right side of the penalty area, stretched out his foot from his left back blind area, and directly passed the ball to De Bruyne.
De Bruyne got the ball at the top of the arc with no one in front of him.
So he kicked up and knocked on the door without saying a word.
As a result, the ball that was shot was soft and was confiscated by Boyko.
Chu Zheng, who looked expectantly next to him, laughed angrily.
"Let you fire water guns every day! Your legs are weak! You deserve it!!" Chu Zheng complained with a smile as he walked past De Bruyne.
"Watt?" De Bruyne can't understand Chinese, otherwise he would definitely kick Chu Zheng.
These were also the only two threatening attacks in the 30-minute overtime, and the rest of the time was garbage time.
Soon the referee Mazic blew the whistle at the end of the 30-minute overtime, announcing that the game had officially entered a brutal penalty shootout.
