"Indeed! I also hope that Lin Jie can play in this game. I also believe that if conditions permit, Lin Jie will definitely play!"

"But it is a pity that Lin Jie's name does not appear in the Dortmund starting list we got."

"Okay, then I will introduce the starting lineups of both sides to you!"

"Let's take a look at the starting lineup sent by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of Manchester United!"

"It is still the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation of Manchester United."

"The goalkeeper is David De Gea from Spain!"

"The four defenders are Diogo, · Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Alex Telles.

"Frederico Rodriguez de Paula Santos and Paul Pogba form a double defensive midfielder.

"It seems that in the defensive midfielder position, after not having to face Lin Jie, Solskjaer has changed back to the one tall and one short combination that he has been using before!"

"This double defensive midfielder combination is still the most familiar to Manchester United. It depends on what effect it can play tonight.

"There are not many adjustments to the striker position. The right winger is Jie. Sancho is the first player, and Marcus Rashford is the left winger! "

"Of course, this is also the first time that Sancho has returned to Westfalen as a Manchester United player after leaving Dortmund. "

"Single attacking midfielder, Bruno Fernandes!"

"Starting striker, Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Today's highlight is undoubtedly whether Ronaldo can catch up with Lin Jie's 18 goals, or even surpass it. "

"Of course, if Ronaldo really breaks the record of the most goals in a single season in the Champions League created by Lin Jie in this game, then it will be a great success. Basically, it means that Dortmund is in trouble. "

"Next, let's take a look at the starting lineup sent by Marco Rose of Dortmund!"

"It is still the most commonly used 4-3-3 lineup. Lin Jie's absence did not make Marco Rose change the formation rashly."

"The goalkeeper is Greg Kobel."

"The four defenders are Rafael Guerrero, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, and Thomas Meunier!"

"The three midfielders are Emre Can, Jude Bellingham, Axel · Witsel! "

"In the forward position, Hazard, who has been performing well recently, has returned to the starting position again, playing the familiar left winger. "

"And the right winger position is Reus starting. "

"The starting center forward is undoubtedly Erling Brant Haaland!"

"It depends on what effect Dortmund can play tonight without Lin Jie."

Zhan Jun just introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and the starting players of both sides on the field also walked out of the player tunnel.

Of course, there are many giant TIFOs in the Westfalen fan stand tonight.

First, a giant TIFO of Lin Jie's comeback was displayed in the south stand.

Obviously, Lin Jie's performance in the past half of the season has completely conquered Dortmund fans.

As Dortmund fans are also very concerned about Lin Jie's injury.

They are praying for Lin Jie in their own way.

Because they also know that Lin Jie's injury will greatly affect Dortmund's championship journey this season.

Whether it is the Bundesliga or the Champions League, without Lin Jie, Dortmund's future suddenly became gloomy.

The tifo that echoes the tifo in the south stand is the giant tifo of Lin Jie's 18 goals in the previous game, breaking the record of 17 goals in the single season of the Champions League created by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 13-14 season.

Lin Jie completed the game that broke this record in the first round at Manchester United's home.

But Dortmund still lost that game in the end.

Then in the intensive schedule, Lin Jie was injured again in the game against Stuttgart.

In the end, Lin Jie did not get a better celebration ceremony.

Now that he has returned to his home court, Dortmund fans naturally want to make up for this belated celebration for Lin Jie.

Originally, Lin Jie had a chance to raise this record again tonight.

It's a pity that Lin Jie was injured before.

Otherwise, they can look forward to this game directly.

Can Lin Jie improve this record of 18 tonight?

Of course, when all the starting players walked onto the court, they did not see Lin Jie.

The fans at the scene sighed involuntarily.

It is obvious that Lin Jie is not on the list of the starting lineup.

However, when Lin Jie appeared in training clothes instead of casual clothesWhen he was on the bench, the fans were filled with hope.

It was obvious that Lin Jie was dressed in such a way that he was ready to play!

That meant that Lin Jie had recovered well in this game and had a chance to come on as a substitute!

This gave Dortmund fans a glimmer of hope.

After a simple ceremony, the players from both sides came to the center circle to prepare for the kick-off.

This time, the one who guessed the ball was still Maguire!

Manchester United still took the lead in kicking off.

With the referee's whistle.

The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The match between Dortmund and Manchester United officially started!

At present, Dortmund is temporarily one goal behind Manchester United with a total score of 2:3!

Manchester United's attack was also very active after the kick-off.

Especially Pogba!

In the last game, Pogba was severely suppressed by Lin Jie.

Originally, Pogba wanted to show off Lin Jie's man-ball pass, but it turned out to be a trap carefully set by Lin Jie.

And Pogba jumped in without any hesitation.

In the end, Manchester United was directly reversed by Dortmund.

If it weren't for Ronaldo's hat trick, Dortmund would have won the game at Old Trafford and taken the lead!

And in the subsequent confrontation with Lin Jie, Pogba's strength was not shown at all.

Basically, he was led by Lin Jie.

But tonight, Dortmund's lineup lacked Lin Jie!

There is no doubt that Pogba wanted to show his true strength as a top genius who was once praised as being able to rewrite the world football pattern in this game!

After the kick-off, he also actively held the ball and moved forward to participate in the attack.

Changed the previous lazy attitude.

Although Dortmund's defense maintained the familiar three-midfield system before.

And the three people who came on, Bellingham, Witsel and Emre Can, were all quite good in defense.

But these three have not actually played in such a combination this season!

Previously, due to Lin Jie's terrifying endurance and full attendance, there was always a place for Lin Jie in Dortmund's lineup.

This led to the fact that the cooperation of this trio was definitely unsatisfactory.

The cooperation in defensive positioning and filling details would definitely not be particularly perfect.

And they still need to face Pogba, the super genius who was once called able to change the football landscape!

Or the kind of Pogba who is in peak condition!

It is undoubtedly a huge test!

After a simple test, Pogba, as a top genius, naturally touched the weakness of Dortmund's starting three-man midfield!

Then he found an opportunity to kill directly to Dortmund's defense!

As the British star, Bellingham chose to face Pogba at the first time.

At this time, Pogba finally felt the feeling of being the world's No. 1 midfielder.

Facing the immature Bellingham, Pogba also played with ease.

Obviously, Bellingham's defensive ability and awareness are much worse than Lin Jie.

Pogba also found confidence in Bellingham!

Lin Jie had easily seen through the ball-man split, and even deliberately set a trap.

This time, Pogba successfully completed it with Bellingham!

Although Bellingham's reaction was also very fast.

But obviously compared with Lin Jie, Bellingham's confrontation ability is much weaker!

Compared with Pogba's physical confrontation, Bellingham is naturally the one who suffers!

After Pogba got stuck in position, Bellingham had no way to push Pogba away, let alone interfere with Pogba.

After eating Bellingham alive, Emre Can, who was supposed to come to the middle to make up for the defense in the first time.

Obviously, he didn't have the quick reaction of Lin Jie, the high defensive awareness, and the tacit cooperation.

After seeing Pogba's action, he realized that Bellingham would suffer a loss and needed to prepare in advance.

This caused Emre Can to slow down his pace.

Pogba had enough space and time to find a beautiful and suitable passing point and passing line.

This time, Ronaldo also ran out and got an excellent opportunity!

Ronaldo knew in his heart that he wanted to score as many goals as possible in this game.

While defeating Dortmund, he also wanted to regain the single-season Champions League goal record!

Now that there is such a good opportunity not long after the game started, Ronaldo immediately smiled.

Just waiting for Pogba to pass the ball directly, Ronaldo is waiting to shoot and score.But Ronaldo waited and waited but never received Pogba's pass!

This made Ronaldo a little confused, and then he looked back and saw Pogba actually looking for space to shoot!

Ronaldo's excellent offensive opportunity was wasted in vain.

This made Ronaldo quite annoyed, and he had no idea what Pogba was thinking!

For Pogba, what he wanted was not a beautiful assist after his breakthrough!

This could not fully demonstrate his top strength!

For Pogba, what he wanted was to break through and then score!

This is the classic protagonist script, and this is the embodiment of Pogba's strength!

So Pogba did not choose to pass the ball to Ronaldo after the breakthrough, but started looking for space to shoot on the spot!

But after all, the defensive players in Dortmund's penalty area were in a good position.

Akanji's position can also block Pogba's long-range shot.

Pogba was not able to find a long-range shot opportunity immediately after the breakthrough.

And this delay also made Pogba lose the best opportunity.

Emre Can, who did not make up for the defense in the first time, successfully made up for the defense during Pogba's hesitation and search.

Compared with the immature Bellingham, Emre Can's defensive experience is obviously more experienced.

And Emre Can is more solid in terms of body shape.

Facing Pogba's confrontation, Pogba was not at all weak, and Pogba had no way to get rid of Emre Can's defense.

In this way, the excellent offensive opportunity that originally belonged to Manchester United was wasted by Pogba's desire to show himself this time!

This made Ronaldo quite dissatisfied, and he kept shaking his hands to protest to Pogba in Dortmund's penalty area.

Of course, Pogba ignored Ronaldo.

However, this wave of Pogba's attack also taught Dortmund's players a good lesson.

It also made the Dortmund players on the field realize Pogba's strength!

On the defensive end, they couldn't help but concentrate more.

Next, Pogba wanted to break through in this way again, but it was obviously not so easy to get such a good opportunity so easily.

Although Dortmund's defense line did not become so stable after losing Lin Jie.

But during this period, Dortmund still stubbornly defended the score and did not give Manchester United a better chance.

It's just that Dortmund lacked Lin Jie, the engine of counterattack.

The overall counterattack speed and advancement efficiency are obviously going to be downgraded.

Before, Lin Jie was the point of counterattack conversion. Whether it was long pass or vision, it was enough to support Lin Jie to complete a beautiful transfer and play an excellent counterattack effect.

But the current Dortmund players obviously have a lot less ability than Lin Jie.

This also led to a significant decline in Dortmund's overall counterattack efficiency, offensive sharpness, and counterattack threat.

It did not cause an effective impact on Manchester United's defense.

This also made Manchester United's offense more unscrupulous.

Pogba basically showed a momentum of turning the tide in the middle!

He played the peak level of his strength in Juventus.

After all, there must be a reason why Pogba was able to make Manchester United offer a king-level price and break the transfer record of the year.

After being stimulated by Lin Jie in the last game, Pogba in this game was obviously full of firepower!

But unexpectedly, the first goal did not come from Pogba, who was in a very hot state!

The 21st minute of the game!

Pogba, who was in a hot state, naturally attracted Dortmund's main defensive attention.

Dortmund's defense line was shrinking towards the middle, making the space on the two sides infinitely enlarged!

This gave Sancho enough space to do great things on the wing!

After Sancho held the ball, he did not cut inside or pass the ball to Pogba as before!

Instead, he rushed directly to the baseline!

Then he completed a beautiful inverted triangle pass before Dortmund's defense could fully react!

Ronaldo at the back point immediately followed up and completed it in one fell swoop!

0:1!

Manchester United, who played away in the second round, scored the first goal!

The total score was rewritten to 2:4!

Dortmund was suddenly in huge trouble!
