Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

Although Dortmund didn't have many good opportunities on the offensive end. However, Lin Jie still had a relatively stable control of the ball, and was able to successfully pass the ball back to his teammates after facing the anti-fake defense. So at the last moment of the first half, both sides fell into a relatively calm stage. However, the turning point of the game occurred in the 42nd minute! After playing continuous cooperation with the retreating Reus, Lin Jie also successfully dribbled the ball to the front of Manchester City's penalty area! At this time, Lin Jie also noticed Rodri Hernandez who was pressing towards him! After all, Rodri Hernandez is 191cm tall, and his tall figure is obviously not something that Lin Jie's current strength of 82 can resist. However, Lin Jie did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he used his position advantage to block Rodrigo Hernandez's position.

Lin Jie's idea was that if he blocked the position, even if the confrontation was a little weak, he could still get a foul!

Then, as Lin Jie expected, Rodrigo Hernandez, who rushed over, did not choose to slow down at all, but directly knocked him to the ground!

But Lin Jie did not expect that Rodrigo Hernandez was not called for a foul by the referee after he directly collided!

Instead, he lost the ball because of Rodrigo Hernandez's collision!

This time, Lin Jie was not happy, and he immediately stood up and wanted to find the referee to argue. How could it not be a foul if he was hit after blocking the position for this kind of ball!

But it was obvious that the referee did not pay attention to Lin Jie, but ran quickly towards Dortmund's penalty area, because Manchester City's counterattack had already begun!

Obviously, in terms of counterattacks, not only Dortmund is quite sharp, but Manchester City is also equally sharp!

The two left and right wingers, Grealish and Mahrez, started quickly and ran forward madly.

They believed that De Bruyne, as a top midfielder, would definitely seize the opportunity to complete a beautiful pass and find their position accurately!

So they just need to keep their heads down and rush forward.

Obviously, this wave of counterattacks also made Dortmund quite uncomfortable.

After Dortmund was intercepted on the offensive end, the defensive position was obviously not able to fall into the position and maintain it as well as before.

The formation was also rushed at this moment.

Especially on the left side!

This is actually Dortmund's defensive weakness!

Left-back Guerrero is stronger in offense, while left-back Bellingham is obviously not as good as Witsel in defensive experience!

So facing Mahrez who has already rushed up, neither of them completed the defensive task well.

As a full-back, Guerrero advanced too far forward. After all, Guerrero originally wanted to meet Lin Jie on the wing.

This resulted in him not having enough time to return to defense!

Although Bellingham realized it and reacted immediately, he wanted to interfere.

However, facing Mahrez's rapid advance, he was obviously a little bit worse in defense!

After all, although Mahrez is not a regular starter for Manchester City, he is also an important rotation player for Manchester City!

He is also quite strong in personal ability!

You should know that a big reason why Manchester City has been able to win the Premier League championship many times in recent years is that Mahrez helped score many key goals in the middle of the season!

Now this game is the same!

Facing Bellingham who rushed over, his handling was also quite decisive!

Directly a change of rhythm, an external soup successfully passed Bellingham!

Even if Bellingham originally wanted to foul!

But unfortunately, Bellingham's speed is still a little slower than Mahrez.

After successfully passing Bellingham, the only one standing in front of Mahrez was Hummels!

After dribbling quickly into the penalty area, Mahrez handled it very calmly.

While slowing down his speed, he pedaled the bicycle continuously to interfere with Hummels' judgment.

However, Hummels is an experienced veteran after all, and it is obviously very difficult for this bicycle to interfere with Hummels' judgment.

Seeing that there was no chance, Mahrez simply made up his mind and quickly pushed his left foot to his left, and shot directly before Hummels completed the mobile block!

Obviously, his choice of shooting this time caught the gap when Hummels was slow to start in the first step!

At the same time

Out of confidence in his foot, this shot was quite decisive!

Obviously, the previous attempts at shooting gave the Algerian international considerable confidence!

And this shot was as expected. Since Mahrez's shot was quite sudden, Kerber's reaction was obviously a beat slower!

When he flew to save the ball, the ball had already turned to the upper left corner of the goal, a dead corner!

Mahrez's feeling was not wrong, and the arc of this shot was very full!

The ball drew a beautiful arc, bypassed Kerber's fingers who flew to save the ball, and successfully hit the Dortmund net!

GOOOOOOAL! ! !

At the last moment of the first half, Manchester City's counterattack after completing the steal from Lin Jie helped the team lead the score!

"Mahrez played this ball beautifully!"

"But it's a pity that Lin Jie lost this ball so unfairly!"

"There's nothing the referee can do about this ball. After all, this is the home court of the Premier League, and the Premier League still encourages confrontation. In fact, Lin Jie's position was not completely stuck for this ball."

Zhan Jun looked at Lin Jie who had already run back to the court to complain to the referee about the foul and explained to the audience helplessly.

After all, Zhan Jun used to comment on the Premier League, but now he mainly comments on Dortmund's games because of Lin Jie.

He is still very clear about the Premier League's penalty standards. Similarly, after commentating so many Dortmund games this season, Zhan Jun also has a certain understanding of the Bundesliga's penalty standards.

If this ball was in the Bundesliga, it would most likely be called a foul, but in the Premier League this is a reasonable physical confrontation!

Although this was in the Champions League, Manchester City is a Premier League team after all, and this is its home court, so it naturally has a certain home advantage.

Obviously, this kind of penalty scale for physical confrontation is one of Manchester City's home advantages!

The situation on the field developed just as Zhan Jun expected, and Lin Jie's protest was ignored by the referee.

In his opinion, this was a reasonable physical confrontation, but Lin Jie failed to withstand the confrontation of Rodri Hernandez and finally lost the ball.

There was nothing wrong with the ball.

After the complaint failed, Lin Jie could only swallow this loss in anger.

Fortunately, the game had entered the last time of the first half at this time, and both sides entered the halftime break after the restart.

Lin Jie also had enough time to calm down.

However, the result of the game was rewritten to 2:1 because of this loss!

At present, Dortmund is temporarily one goal behind and entered the halftime break!
