Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

While Zhan Jun was announcing the starting lineups of both sides, the players of both sides were waiting in the player tunnel.

As Dortmund's only pillar now, Lin Jie looked at the familiar handsome face in the Manchester United team with excitement.

That was Cristiano Ronaldo!

There is no doubt that whether in the past life or this life, Lin Jie grew up watching Ronaldo's ball.

Just like Mbappe, Ronaldo is also Lin Jie's idol.

This is the first time that Lin Jie has such close contact with Ronaldo.

Ronaldo also sensed Lin Jie's eyes and walked towards Lin Jie with a smile.

He took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hey, Lin, hello!"

Seeing his idol actually walking towards him with a smile.

"Hello! Hello!"

Lin Jie also excitedly extended his hand and shook it tightly with Ronaldo.

Then it was a simple hug between familiar players.

"I watched your previous games, you played very well!"

"Whether it's a header or a heel kick, it's very much like my style back then!"

As one of the absolute two heroes, Cristiano Ronaldo also has enough confidence to say such words.

"But!"

"I have to work hard for the Golden Boot this season!"

As Cristiano Ronaldo's style changed, he also showed his competitive spirit.

You should know that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 13 goals so far.

Although there is still a certain gap from Lin Jie's 17 goals.

But Cristiano Ronaldo is still quite confident in his ability.

If he can lead Manchester United to move forward this season and win the Champions League Golden Boot, it will undoubtedly be another recognition of his ability.

"Hehe, then I won't let you go!"

"You have to be prepared to be eliminated by us!"

Hearing Cristiano Ronaldo's confidence, Lin Jie was not afraid at all.

If Cristiano Ronaldo is still the Golden Edge Ronaldo in the Real Madrid period.

Maybe Lin Jie would panic for a while, but Ronaldo is 37 years old now!

There is no doubt that Ronaldo's career has entered the twilight of his life, no matter how good his condition is.

He cannot escape the decline of physical function.

And for Lin Jie, Ronaldo is his idol.

As an opponent, all Lin Jie can do is to give Ronaldo the greatest respect with all his strength.

And the other Dortmund players also greeted Sancho.

After all, Sancho also joined Manchester United this season.

He had a very good relationship with his teammates in Dortmund before.

But soon, it was the turn of the players from both sides to enter the field.

Although it was the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

But the fans at Old Trafford did not put out any shocking Tifo.

There is no Tifo culture in the Premier League itself.

And in addition to some special reasons before, the Premier League also has strict restrictions on the items that fans can carry with them.

So there was no shocking Tifo when the players entered the field.

After a simple opening ceremony, the players from both sides also stood near the center circle.

Because Maguire guessed the front side in the previous coin toss, he got the chance to kick off first.

After the kick-off, Manchester United's offensive advancement was not in a hurry.

Their 4-2-3-1 formation itself is more suitable for counterattack.

In addition, it was the first time for Dortmund to officially play against each other on the field.

Both sides need to test and get familiar with the opponent's rhythm first.

Dortmund is also not in a hurry.

They defeated Paris Saint-Germain before with excellent defense and sharp counterattack!

Now it has only been less than 4 days since the game with RB Leipzig.

It is still unclear what the offensive players are like tonight.

The safest thing is to stabilize the defense and look for opportunities to counterattack.

In this way, the rhythm of both sides after the start is relatively slow, and they are adapting to the rhythm of the opponent.

And it is obvious that Dortmund's defensive state tonight is still quite online.

In the previous match against RB Leipzig, Widsell and Hummels were replaced in advance, and their competitive state tonight has recovered quite well.

After a short rest of 4 days, the physical fitness of several other starting players has also recovered to a certain extent.

After the attitude is corrected, at least in the first half, the bad state will not appear as before.

And Dortmund faced Paris Saint-Germain, which has top offensive firepower, in the Champions League before.

They can hold on tenaciously for a long time.

The impact that Mbappe, Messi and Di Maria can bring is obviously stronger than that brought by Sancho and Rashford to Dortmund.A sense of oppression.

Now facing the relatively immature two-wing combination of Sancho and Rashford, he is naturally at ease.

You must know that Sancho has not yet returned to Dortmund to show the super performance of being able to eat a full meal in the cafeteria!

What's more, there is Lin Jie in the midfield.

Wherever there is a need for replacement, Lin Jie can arrive at the first time.

So Dortmund's defense on both sides is also watertight.

This makes Ronaldo in the penalty area anxious.

Because as a terminator, he has not been able to get the ball near Dortmund's penalty area!

Frequent empty running makes him feel the waste of physical energy, and he keeps reaching out to signal his teammates to pass the ball to him.

But the frontcourt organizing core Bruno Fernandes was also entangled by Lin Jie and was given special attention by Lin Jie.

Bruno Fernandes has no advantage in speed and confrontation.

It is also quite difficult to get rid of Lin Jie through the technique of his feet.

You must know that with Lin Jie's 91 defensive awareness, even Neymar couldn't get rid of Lin Jie's entanglement in the first time.

Not to mention Bruno Fernandes.

So Manchester United's offense naturally fell into a state of stagnation.

As a young coach, Solskjaer himself has to deal with the conflicts among the players in the team, and the offensive changes that can be brought to Manchester United are relatively few.

They were able to make it all the way, largely because they handed it over to Ronaldo in the final stage when there was no other way.

It is because of luck and personal ability that Manchester United can stumble to the present.

But now Dortmund's defense undoubtedly cuts Ronaldo off from other players in Manchester United's frontcourt.

You must know that Ronaldo at this time is no longer the golden edge Ronaldo at his peak, a superstar who can dribble the ball to the penalty area on the wing and solve the problem alone.

Now Ronaldo is more of a top terminator.

As long as he can pass the cake, Ronaldo can eat the cake in various ways.

But now Dortmund's defensive strategy is obviously to prevent Manchester United from passing the ball in!

Directly cut out Ronaldo!

In this way, Manchester United's attack did not have much good results.

Even Pogba's frequent forward insertions did not change the rhythm too much.

After all, after falling into the position, Dortmund's positional defense was still very impressive!

At the beginning, facing such a strong offensive firepower as Paris Saint-Germain, they were able to hold on for a while, let alone the current Manchester United.

And Manchester United is also aware of Lin Jie's ability to steal and counterattack.

They are also very cautious in controlling the ball, and they are not in a hurry to pass the ball without a particularly good opportunity.

They are afraid that Lin Jie will seize the opportunity to counterattack.

In the end, Manchester United's prince Rashford stood up.

He really couldn't stand this suffocating offensive rhythm.

After a change of rhythm after a bicycle, he briefly shook off Munier and then took a long shot without caring.

This hasty kick naturally won't have any accuracy, and the football flew directly to the stands.

The ball possession changed, and it was Dortmund's turn to attack!

But Dortmund's attack was not particularly smooth either!

Because Manchester United sent out a double defensive midfielder combination of Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba!

Scott McTominay is 193cm!

Paul Pogba is 191cm!

This is a combination of two tall and good defensive midfielders!

You should know that in Manchester United's regular starting lineup, the combination of double defensive midfielders is generally one tall and one short.

One can fight and the other can chase, which is very good.

But in this game, Manchester United's double defensive midfielders need to face the impact of the hottest super star, Lin Jie!

Obviously Solskjaer is quite aware of Fred's small size. Even if he is more flexible, he will definitely not catch up with Lin Jie who can compete with Mbappe in speed!

Then he simply put two tall double defensive midfielders on the field!

It doesn't matter if the speed can't catch up, as long as there is an advantage in the confrontation!

When Lin Jie wants to use speed to get rid of him directly, the two defensive midfielders can just confront and interfere with Lin Jie's breakthrough.

And the defensive area of ​​the tall Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba is obviously larger.

At least it is not so easy to lose position in positional defense!

And at this time, the two central defenders on Manchester United's back line are the academic master Varane and the aircraft carrier Maguire!

At this time, Maguire is not as abstract as he is later. He is still a first-class central defender aircraft carrier in the Premier League!

Maguire is still the current captain of Manchester United.long.

Plus, the last line of defense is goalkeeper De Gea!

Dortmund's originally quite good offensive firepower performed quite badly in the last game against RB Leipzig.

Although Marco Rose also let them off the field to rest in advance.

But the offensive state did not adjust back so quickly, so it was still a bit difficult to face Manchester United's defense.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Jie, Dortmund's offensive engine, was restricted.

Whenever Lin Jie had the ball, he had to face the double attack of Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba.

Even if Lin Jie had the super acceleration of the [Clouds and Mists] skill, it was not so easy to get past these two strong men directly.

Often, they were interfered with by their strong physical resistance as soon as they started to speed up.

After all, this was in the home court of the Premier League, and the scale of the penalty was involuntarily magnified.

Although Lin Jie had [Fighter] and the power obtained from Balotelli, it was still a bit difficult to resist the confrontation between two people at once.

There is no chance in the middle, and the chances on the wing are not very good either.

Because Manchester United's central defenders are Varane, a top student, and Maguire, a carrier, both of whom are over 190cm tall!

Although facing Haaland, it is not much worse.

And you have to know that although Maguire turns slowly at this time, his defensive area and air defense capabilities are quite top-notch!

In fact, in this case, Haaland was cut off by Manchester United like Ronaldo.

Lin Jie did not have a particularly good chance to send the cake in!

In this way, Dortmund's offense was a bit stagnant.

The old captain Reus, who was able to stand up as a sharp knife to solve the problem before, obviously did not recover well today.

Several breakthrough attempts were finally blocked by Varane.

The 30th minute of the game!

It's still Lin Jie!

He seized the opportunity when Pogba was not active in defense!

With the combination of [Soaring in the Clouds] and [Swooshing Like a Meteor], Lin Jie successfully got rid of McTominay's defense!

He got a chance to shoot from the front of Manchester United's penalty area!

Originally, Lin Jie wanted to continue to attack the penalty area, but at this time, the aircraft carrier turned around and came to Lin Jie at the first time.

And the other Manchester United defensive players all moved at the first time.

Without the explosive speed blessing of [Soaring in the Clouds], Lin Jie's breakthrough would obviously not be so easy.

So Lin Jie had no choice but to shoot from a distance!

Lin Jie's kick also successfully activated [Powerful Long Shot].

But unfortunately, the Manchester United goalkeeper at this time was still the goalkeeper De Gea!

De Gea is still very strong in goal line technology!

You know, many times the core of Manchester United's defense is this goalkeeper!

If it weren't for his various magical saves, Manchester United would have lost at least 10-20 more goals!

Although Lin Jie's shot was powerful and heavy.

But De Gea had already predicted Lin Jie's shooting action and moved ahead!

And this early movement also allowed him to successfully save Lin Jie's threatening long-range shot!

But in the end, because Lin Jie's shot was too powerful, De Gea could not hold it and could only save the ball from the bottom line.

Dortmund got a chance for a corner kick!

Of course, it is still the problem mentioned before. You must know that Manchester United currently has a group of tall players over 190cm.

Dortmund's high-altitude attack on the corner kick did not get too good a chance.

Of course, Lin Jie did not participate in the corner kick attack at this time.

Although Lin Jie is quite confident in his header ability.

But facing the opponent's rich height and high-altitude protection.

Lin Jie believes that with his own height of 1.84 meters, it is a bit too difficult for him to grab a header over a group of people with a height of about 1.90 meters!

So Lin Jie also continued to ambush at the top of the penalty area honestly.

Waiting and looking for the opportunity to shoot from a distance.

Of course, they were also on guard against Manchester United's quick counterattacks, after all, the quick counterattacks after corner kicks are often quite deadly.

On Manchester United's side, Rashford and Sancho both have good speed and can launch sharp counterattacks, and Pogba also has enough vision and long pass ability.

In the end, Dortmund's corner kick was cleared by Manchester United players.

Lin Jie also grabbed the second landing point.

The next game fell into a dull rhythm again.

Both sides invested a lot of manpower on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, they also played more patiently, and did not want to give the other side a chance to counterattack.

Obviously no one wants to lose the ball first. In this kind of strong confrontation, the first to fall behind will beThe psychological pressure that the team and the players need to face is still relatively large.

In this way, the first half of the game continued to pass in this dull rhythm.

This made many fans who stayed up late feel drowsy.
