Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

After Dortmund kicked off, the ball naturally came to the feet of Lin Jie, who is currently the engine of Dortmund.

However, Frank Kessie has been following Lin Jie closely.

Frank Kessie is 183cm tall, which is about the same height as Lin Jie, but he looks much stronger than Lin Jie in terms of body shape.

With his occasional confrontation and interference, Lin Jie did not have a good space to play.

However, with the power of "Balotelli" and the dribbling of Xiaosha, Lin Jie was still able to deal with Frank Kessie's close defense.

But Lin Jie soon discovered that AC Milan's defensive tactics against him were not that simple.

When he wanted to advance with the ball, Sandro Tonali, who was originally defending in the middle, immediately gave up his defensive position to double-team Lin Jie!

This made it difficult for Lin Jie to pass the ball next.

After all, although the gambling king is still a little young, his defensive talent has been shown. It is not so easy for Lin Jie to pass two players with excellent defensive ability.

So facing the double-teaming, Lin Jie was forced to choose to pass the ball back.

On the sidelines, AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli nodded slightly when he saw this scene.

In the first round of the game, Lin Jie's performance has made AC Milan's players suffer. Similarly, as a head coach, he is also quite clear about Lin Jie's ability and role in the Dortmund team.

So after the opening, in order to limit Lin Jie's performance, he specially arranged Tonali and Kessi to focus on Lin Jie!

Although as a head coach, he knows that facing a magical oriental boy like Lin Jie who has emerged suddenly, he can lock him up for most of the time in this game, but he will still be able to break free for a while.

However, his goal was not to completely restrict Lin Jie, but to consume Lin Jie's physical strength significantly after the opening!

Just three days ago, he fought with Bayern for more than 100 minutes and only rested for less than three days. He didn't believe that this kid's physical strength had no limit!

As long as he continued to consume Lin Jie's physical strength, he would be physically exhausted!

In this way, for the second half, AC Milan, who was attacking aggressively, would be more calm when facing Dortmund's counterattack.

After losing Lin Jie, the top dispatcher, he believed that Dortmund's counterattack would be much more sharp!

Then AC Milan's chances of winning this game would be greatly improved!

Unfortunately, Stefano Pioli didn't know that Lin Jie's physical strength was the full value of 99 and had already recovered.

There would be no physical exhaustion at all. His tactical ambition was just a fantasy after all!

As the game progressed, the overall rhythm was just as planned by AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli.

AC Milan adopted a defensive retreat, with both flanks shrinking as far as possible to their own half, and directly chose to park the bus.

In this way, although Dortmund's formation could advance to AC Milan's half, it was always difficult for Lin Jie to make the key pass.

This caused Dortmund's offense to stagnate for a short time, but Dortmund still had an absolute advantage on the field.

AC Milan's defensive performance was still quite good, and did not give Dortmund better or more opportunities.

Especially the two central defenders, who also performed quite well in the face of Haaland's high-altitude header.

In addition, Haaland's performance today was a bit bad, and several good opportunities were wasted. Obviously, the previous national derby still affected his state.

This also made Dortmund's biggest killer to break through dense defense fall into silence.

In this way, although Dortmund pressed forward, the two full-backs also frequently inserted forward, trying to put more defensive pressure on AC Milan.

But after all, AC Milan was fully prepared. In the Serie A match at the weekend, they had already made appropriate rotations and were fully prepared for this game.

They did not leave Dortmund any chance at all.

Just when AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli looked at the field with a confident expression.

In the 26th minute of the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

Lin Jie, who was in control of the ball in the middle, chose to force a breakthrough with the ball again!

Although AC Milan's reaction was also quite quick,

However, due to the long-term defense, his physical strength gradually decreased, and his concentration also decreased a little.

Tonali did not rush over to double-team Lin Jie at the first time, giving Lin Jie a space to pass the ball!

And Lin Jie naturally grasped this gap accurately and sent it out perfectly with a straight pass!

Malen, who was holding the ball on the right, also advanced at the speed of light and rushed towards the AC Milan penalty area.

But unfortunately, it was Theo Hernandez who was defending him!

The speed was also quite fast!

He blocked Malen's route to continue to advance, and pressed Malen to the bottom line.

At this time, Leo, who reacted, also came to double-team Malen immediately to prevent him from continuing to hold the ball at the bottom line.

Just when Malen was about to lose the ball, he saw Lin Jie coming forward!

Without any hesitation, Malen chose to pass back to Lin Jie who was coming forward!

Originally Tonali double-teamed, but after seeing Lin Jie pass the ball, he retreated to his defensive position.

You know, after all, Dortmund has already pressed forward with all its forces, which puts great defensive pressure on AC Milan.

It is naturally impossible to let Tonali and Kessié, two strong defensive points, keep an eye on Lin Jie who has no ball, so Tonali immediately returned to his defensive position after seeing Lin Jie pass the ball.

Lin Jie saw this as an opportunity!

It is difficult for him to break through the double-teaming of two people, but with only Kessié, it is not a big problem!

He took a decisive step forward and rushed directly past Kessié.

However, Kessié's reaction was also very fast. He immediately turned around and chased after him, and kept pulling Lin Jie behind him.

But Lin Jie has the [Fighter] skill and is not afraid of Kessié's confrontation and pulling.

He directly blocked Kessié's position, then looked up and glanced at the position of his teammates in the penalty area, and met Malen's return pass with a 45-degree cross!

Although Lin Jie's pass was slightly deformed under Kessié's confrontation, he still activated the skill [Belle Arc]!

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the deep of AC Milan's penalty area!

The two central defenders of AC Milan in the penalty area had been ready for a long time, tightly blocking Haaland's position.

But unfortunately, this ball not only showed Lin Jie's strong passing ability, but also his unparalleled vision ability!

This ball once again slipped past Haaland at the first point and turned to the back point!

Obviously, Lin Jie noticed that Haaland, the strongest point in the penalty area, was tightly restricted by AC Milan's players at the moment of passing the ball.

He also noticed that Bellingham, who started to rush forward frantically outside the penalty area at the back point!

So Lin Jie chose to pass to the back point again!

It was as accurate and elegant as the previous pass against RB Leipzig!

And this pass obviously caught AC Milan off guard!

Although AC Milan's right back David Calabria reacted and wanted to make up for the defense at the last point, his original position was to stare at Reus!

It was a bit too late to rush over from outside the penalty area.

Lin Jie passed the ball very accurately. Bellingham didn't need any header skills at all. He just needed to stretch his head to head the ball into the goal.

AC Milan's goalkeeper Mike Maignan had no time to react and could only watch the ball being headed into his own goal!

GOOOOOOAL!!!

In the 27th minute of the game, Dortmund took the lead!
