The game was a success, and the game was a success.

"Ah! At this time, Guardiola actually took the initiative to waste time after the substitution!"

"This is still the Manchester City I know!"

Zhan Jun, who was explaining in the studio, was also quite surprised by the tactical changes of Manchester City after the substitution!

"Hehe, I can only say that Lin Jie really put a lot of pressure on Guardiola!"

"I think it's normal to play it safe when only leading by one goal!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid that only Dortmund can make Manchester City take the initiative to shrink and control the ball at the Etihad Stadium!"

Coach Zhang was also surprised by Guardiola's tactical changes.

"Indeed, although Manchester City has started to slow down, Dortmund can't be careless!"

"I even think this has put Dortmund in greater trouble!"

"After all, this is Manchester City! It's not comparable to the previous RB Leipzig. If Dortmund's tackling is too fierce, it is likely to disrupt the defensive line!"

"In this case, it is easy for Manchester City to seize the opportunity again!"

Sun Jihai had expected it a long time ago, and also expressed his own views.

...

On the field, Dortmund's players were also quite helpless in the face of Manchester City, which began to waste time by constantly passing the ball.

As Sun Jihai said, as long as they dare to tackling with high intensity, the defensive formation will be difficult to maintain, which will give Manchester City more offensive opportunities!

But at this time, time is no longer on Dortmund's side. Looking at the time that is constantly running out, Dortmund's players can only fight to the death!

Decisively started the high-position pressing, obviously not wanting to be dragged to death by Manchester City!

The 79th minute of the game!

After Lin Jie and Bellingham exchanged glances, they seized an opportunity to quickly double-team De Bruyne!

But De Bruyne is De Bruyne after all!

Although Lin Jie had retreated to the top of the penalty area to cooperate with Bellingham to double-team De Bruyne, he still found an opportunity in such a small space!

A beautiful straight pass went through Bellingham's crotch, and at the same time avoided the double-team of Lin Jie and Bellingham!

This straight pass not only showed De Bruyne's excellent vision, but also showed his passing ability.

The clever Mahrez completed the crosscut in the first time with the excellent cooperation with De Bruyne!

Then Mahrez did not choose to continue to dribble inside, but seized the opportunity of the short distraction of Dortmund's defense due to the double-team of Lin Jie and Bellingham, and flicked the ball with his left foot!

However, Mahrez did not choose to lob the ball at the last moment of the first half, but directly passed the ball to the Dortmund penalty area with the outside of his foot!

Because he had seen Hummels start to move after seeing De Bruyne's pass, and rushed towards the direction of Mahrez's receiving the ball, and the focus was on defending Mahrez's lob!

And Mahrez's outside of his foot just made Hummels, who rushed over, unable to react to intercept the ball, and could only watch the ball roll past him!

At this time, only Akanji was left in the penalty area in front of Dortmund's goal!

Obviously Akanji's reaction was slower than that of Prince Foden, and most of his attention was attracted by the continuous changes. By the time he saw Foden's forward insertion, everything was too late.

Facing the ball, Foden's beautiful push shot helped Manchester City expand the score to two goals again!

4:2!

"For this ball, Mahrez actually chose to pass the ball with the outside of his foot!"

"Back point! Foden!!!"

"This ball is here again! As expected, just as Ji Hai said, Dortmund's formation moved forward and lost the ball!"

"This time Dortmund is really in big trouble! There is really not much time left for Dortmund!"

...

Dortmund's head coach, Mark Ross, could only scratch his head helplessly.

He never thought that even a top giant like Manchester City would choose such a safe "offensive" method at home!

And the most important thing is that in this situation, Dortmund was caught by Manchester City and scored a goal!

As a result, Dortmund is now two goals behind, and this wave of time has reached 80 minutes, entering the last 10 minutes of regular time!

Leave Dortmund

Dortmund really doesn't have much time left!

He was not surprised by the loss of the ball, after all, the opponent was Manchester City, and Manchester City was leading and starting to waste time!

As long as you want to win, if you dare to go out and steal, Manchester City will probably seize the opportunity to counterattack!

Now that you are two goals behind, just give it a try!

Then Marco Rose also made a large-scale personnel adjustment!

Doniel Malen replaced Julian Brandt!

Youssef Moukoko replaced Raphael Guerrero!

Thorgan Hazard replaced Thomas Meunier!

Take down both full-backs and take up two wingers!

Witsel retreated and became a central defender!

The formation was also changed.

From the original 4-3-3 to the current 3-4-2-1!

Obviously, this lineup is a desperate fight for Dortmund, in order to strengthen the firepower on the offensive end!

Restart!

Dortmund's ball!

This time, Dortmund's players obviously knew that they had little time left, so they chose to press forward in a big way!

Lin Jie, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically withdrawn from his original offensive position and stood further back than before.

Because Lin Jie knew very well that he was definitely the focus of Manchester City's attention now!

As long as he dared to hold the ball forward, Manchester City would double-team Lin Jie!

So he might as well focus on long passes in the back, after all, Dortmund already had 5 offensive players in the frontcourt after the substitutions!

Not only can he free up some space in the back, but he can also draw some of Manchester City's defensive attention!

However, the player who was substituted by Manchester City before was veteran Fernandinho.

He was quite clear about the current situation and decisively gave up close defense against Lin Jie.

He let Lin Jie make the far-end dispatch, and he participated in the defense in the midfield.

Although this made Lin Jie lose the ball, he could not threaten the goal from such a far distance.

His only function was to coordinate the long pass.

And his retreat was to prevent the threat from Dortmund players in the final stage!

This actually ruined Lin Jie's original plan!

Although this made Lin Jie more relaxed in terms of coordination, it also strengthened Manchester City's defensive ability in the midfield.
