Del Piero is out, and now Yunsheng urgently needs to replace him with someone new.
He had just asked the substitute players to start warming up. These players sat down after finishing the second round of warm-up, and now they have a chance to play.
There are many outstanding players on the bench now, and they are in all positions. Yunsheng thought for a moment and definitely sent Diego.
Now that the game has reached the 85th minute and is about to end, the safest way at this time is to switch to defensive players and survive the last few minutes.
But Yun Sheng knows very well that for a team like Arsenal that likes to play short passes, the effect of adding an extra defender is not obvious, and sending a counterattack master may bring unexpected surprises.
Arsenal's backcourt is now empty. If they replace a player with fast speed and excellent dribbling like Diego, once they counterattack, they are likely to score another goal. In that case, the game can end early.
Another away goal is enough to knock Arsenal into the bottom.
Therefore, Yunsheng did not send Metzelder and Riise, but asked Diego to appear.
The first time Diego touched the ball after coming on the field, he received a pass from Pirlo and made a solo breakthrough. Although the final shot was high, the performance of two people in a row still made the Arsenal general Breaking into a cold sweat.
In the next few minutes, Arsenal's offense did not dare to be too aggressive and did not dare to attack the whole line.
The effect of Diego coming off the bench was achieved.
As the game continued minute by minute, Arsenal's advancement was not effective and they were still passing and controlling in the midfield, waiting for a fatal opportunity.
The game has now reached the 89th minute.
Wang Chuhe and Chen Tao are the absolute core of Arsenal's midfield. Even if skilled stars like Rosicky and Arteta come on the bench, they still can't change the spotlight of China's dual-core.
Facing the double attack of Vidal and Marchisio, Wang Chuhe took the risk not to pass the ball this time, but to control the ball on the spot.
At this time, Chen Tao discovered the opportunity, and he suddenly moved forward quickly!
Wang Chuhe was on the spot protecting the ball, but suddenly turned around and dodged Marchisio!
Before Vidal made the tackle, Wang Chuhe made a pass and the ball went straight to the right side of the penalty area. Chen Tao received the ball steadily!
Juventus' midfield is empty!
Left back Chiellini stole the ball, and Chen Tao changed direction and passed the Italian defensive genius!
This is Chen Tao’s specialty! He has entered the restricted area!
Bonucci quickly took over, but he was too late!
Chen Tao kicked up...
He was pulled down from behind! ! !
The referee's whistle sounded, penalty kick!
At this time, the game time has reached 91 minutes, and there is still more than one minute left before the three-minute injury time.
Although the game is about to end, the enthusiasm of the fans has reached its climax at this time!
The moment the referee pointed to the penalty spot, the Emirates Stadium burst into flames!
Countless Arsenal fans threw their scarves and hats into the sky, extremely excited!
When the Arsenal fans saw the referee take out the red card, they were even more delighted!
The person who quickly chased back and pulled Chen Tao down behind him was Diego, who had just come on as a substitute!
Standing in front of the referee, looking at the conspicuous red light, Diego felt like it was like a dream...
And Yun Sheng on the sidelines could also see clearly that just now the Juventus defensive players could no longer keep up with Chen Tao. It was Diego who actively defended. Pulling down Chen Tao was just a physical collision of 40 to 60 points, and it was not a very serious incident. A definite penalty.
On the sidelines, he and two assistant coaches loudly protested to the fourth official to express their dissatisfaction.
However, the fourth official was unmoved, and the referee on the field pointed to the sideline again, signaling Diego to get off the field quickly.
Buffon hugged Diego to comfort him, but Diego shook his head. He forced a smile: "Jian, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Just prepare to save the penalty kick. As long as you can save the penalty kick, it's okay." He saved me. Otherwise, I would be Juventus’s sinner..."
Buffon waved his fist: "Don't worry, Arsenal can't score!"
After hugging and comforting Diego, everyone in Yunsheng focused their attention on the court and towards the Juventus goal.
If this penalty kick had happened more than ten minutes ago, Yun Sheng wouldn't have been that worried, but it was different now.
If the penalty kick is scored, not only will the team equalize the total score, but Arsenal's morale will continue to rise, and the next overtime will be even more difficult to play.
Furthermore, Diego received a red card and the team was ten against eleven. The disadvantage in the 30 minutes of overtime was obvious, and there would be big trouble...
Diego on the side did not leave the field for the time being. He stood at the exit of the players' tunnel and looked at the situation on the field, feeling very frustrated.
Because of his own foul, the team is in a deadlock. If he loses the chance to participate in the finals, then he will be the sinner of the team...
The Juventus general was in a very bad mood, while the Arsenal general was excited but also a little uneasy.
As long as this penalty kick is scored, the winning rate of this game will be extremely high. In overtime, eleven to ten will basically guarantee victory.
At this time on the court, Chen Tao was standing at the penalty spot, and he was ready to take the kick.
He knew very well in his heart that victory or defeat was now decided in an instant.
As long as this penalty kick is scored, Arsenal will reach the final in all likelihood.
Helping the team advance to the Champions League final with a hat trick is what Chen Tao is looking forward to.
He looked at Buffon opposite, who was also looking at him at this time.
Both of them had a determined look in their eyes, and confidence filled every corner of their bodies.
Chen Tao slowly backed away. He stood on the penalty area line, took a deep breath, and looked at the stands behind Buffon, where the Arsenal fans were applauding him.
Since Robin van Persie and Xiaofa left the team, Chen Tao has become Arsenal's first penalty kicker. He has taken a total of 7 penalty kicks in all competitions this season, with a 100% hit rate.
Now that he is standing in front of the ball, almost all Arsenal fans have confidence in him, and his teammates are full of expectations for him.
As the second penalty kicker, Wang Chuhe was standing not far outside the penalty area, ready to make a forward shot. He looked at Chen Tao and had a hunch that the ball would be scored.
In this game, Chen Tao's shooting condition was excellent, and he is the penalty kick master in the team, so there must be no problem.
Wenger on the sidelines also clenched his fists, standing on the sidelines with the Arsenal coaching staff and substitute players, looking in the direction of the court, waiting for the moment the ball entered the net.
The entire Emirates Stadium fell silent instantly. The eyes of tens of thousands of people fell on Chen Tao, looking forward to the penalty kick entering the net, and looking forward to the Gunners' new captain once again leading the team to the Champions League final and finally winning the cup.
Tens of thousands of burning eyes and ardent expectations fell on the young gunner captain.
At this time, in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Yun Sheng's eyes remained on Buffon, looking at him intently...
