Chapter 139 Champions League Top 8

After Jiang Feng saw Kaka's goal, he hugged Lutz tightly on the sidelines excitedly. Jiang Feng knew that this goal could be said to have knocked down Juventus' high morale a lot.

The game restarted again, and the fierce game made everyone watching the game hooked.

Sure enough, after Kaiserslautern took the lead again, although Juventus was still attacking on the field, everyone could see that Juventus' morale was not as strong as before, and their offensive momentum was not as violent as before. up.

On the other hand, Kaiserslautern is not as passive in defense as before. The formation that has been compressed before has also advanced a lot. In terms of defense, Kaiserslautern is very good at high pressing. up.

After seeing the team's state, Lippi on the sidelines once again chose to make a substitution, replacing Zambrotta with Conte. Lippi's intention was to enhance the competitiveness of the midfield.

As the game time progresses, the end of the game is getting closer and closer.

The competition between the two sides is also becoming more and more intense.

In the 84th minute of the game, Robben received a through pass from Kaka when he was cutting inside. Robben, who succeeded in anti-offside, formed a single goal, but the shot was saved by the brave Buffon to the bottom line.

Five minutes later, that is, the 5th minute of the game, Juventus returned the color.

Juventus' corner kick, Trezeguet received the pass from the back point, and a header hit the post directly. Finally, the home team's goal frame saved his team once.

After seeing such a situation, Lippi also sighed deeply, very helpless.

The fourth official on the sidelines held up a sign indicating 3 minutes of extra time.

In the end, the two sides did not score any more goals in the remaining time, and the two sides kept the score of 3 to 2 until the end of the game.

Kaiserslautern defeated the visiting Juventus 3-2 at home in the fifth match of the second round of the Champions League group stage. Both Jiang Feng and Kaiserslautern completed their revenge war.

This also made many Juventus fans cast a shadow over their team's Champions League trip this season.

But soon they received a piece of good news, that is, in another game in Group C, Arsenal, who played away, lost 1-2 to Deportivo Deportivo, who has not won a game so far in Spain. Asian team.

At the end of these five games, Kaiserslautern firmly occupied the first place in the group with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 10 points, and also won a place in the quarter-finals one round ahead of schedule, ranking second. It is Arsenal with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 7 points, and the third is Juventus, which just lost to Kaiserslautern with 1 points with 2 win, 2 draws and 5 losses, and the last one is still Deportivo, but Deportivo also raised their points to 5 points with this round of victory, the same score as Juventus.

Now except for Kaiserslautern who has already secured a qualifying spot, the other three teams have great hopes of getting a second spot, and Kaiserslautern, who qualified one round ahead of schedule, can It is said that the fate of the other three teams is in control, because according to the current situation, the final round of matchups is Kaiserslautern vs. Arsenal, Juventus vs. Deportivo. First, Juventus vs. Deportivo. In Runia's game, the two teams are definitely a game of life and death. A draw is unacceptable for both sides. For Kaiserslautern against Arsenal, according to the results of the previous game, for Arsenal , A draw is also unacceptable, because once there is a tie, unless Deportivo wins the game between Juventus and Deportivo, Arsenal will have an absolute advantage in terms of goal difference. If Juventus wins, then Arsenal will win. The goal difference is about to be a question mark, so Arsenal's hope is to be able to win Kaiserslautern, so that they can securely get the promotion spot.

As for Jiang Feng, if he puts a little water in the game against Arsenal, then if Arsenal wins, then they will qualify together with Arsenal.

Faced with such a situation, Wenger and Lippi, the two old foxes, praised Kaiserslautern and Jiang Feng fiercely in the press conference after the game.

"Kaiserslautern is a well-deserved strong team. I am convinced of the loss in today's game. Whether it is the tactical arrangement or the temporary command on the court, I am very satisfied with Jiang's growth. Surprised, I saw the shadow of a champion coach in him, the development of European football needs such a young man." This is what Lippi said in an interview with reporters at the press conference after the game.

"Among all the teams in the Champions League, Kaiserslautern is the last I want to meet, because they have a very talented and capable head coach. This year's Bundesliga competition is very fierce, and Kaiserslautern Teng was able to win the top spot in such a fierce league, I admire Jiang very much, Kaiserslautern this year is a team with unlimited possibilities." This is what Wenger said, the old fox still It vaguely reminded Jiang Feng that the competition in the Bundesliga is very fierce, and the meaning is very clear, that is to say, brother, you have already qualified, so you should focus on the league for the last game, and the Champions League is just you Okay, I'm good, everyone is good, anyway, the meaning is basically this.

After learning what these two people said, Jiang Feng also sneered, and didn't pay attention to this matter. Regarding the last Champions League group match, don't let these two old foxes remind him, he naturally has his own arrangements.

For Jiang Feng, neither Arsenal nor Juventus are easy to get along with. For the current Kaiserslautern, the first or second place in the Champions League group is of little significance, because the players who have entered the quarter-finals The team does not have a so-called weak team. The two rounds of the group stage have already eliminated those teams with somewhat weak strength.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the competition system of the Champions League has been misunderstood in recent years. Many people think that the two rounds of the group stage have made the Champions League a game for the giants, because compared to the group stage, the knockout stage is the hotbed of dark horses. This was also Jiang Feng's surprise when he first learned that there were two group matches in the Champions League. Jiang Feng remembered that in his previous life, the Champions League was played directly from the top 16, but Jiang Feng couldn't remember which year it was reformed.

So after the match against Juventus, Jiang Feng had already prepared a plan for the final match against Arsenal.
