As the core of Dortmund's midfield, Lin Jie naturally felt this situation.
As the game time continued, the situation became more and more deadlocked.
During this period, the depth and intensity of Dortmund players on the field increased.
But Lin Jie felt that the defensive area he needed to cover in the front court was getting larger and larger.
There were even a few times when Manchester City's counterattack almost broke through Dortmund's high-pressure pressing.
This also means that although it seems that Dortmund's pressing is more fierce and deeper than before.
But in fact, the threat that can be posed to Manchester City is decreasing sharply!
"Steady! Steady! Slow down the pace!"
Just when Lin Jie loudly reminded his teammates that they needed to slow down and could not continue such high-intensity and high-depth pressing.
The rhythm on the Manchester City side suddenly changed, and seized a wave of counterattack opportunities when Dortmund players went too deep!
Before Lin Jie's reminder was received by his teammates, Manchester City's attack had already started!
The 28th minute of the game!
Dortmund's pressing was still fierce.
Midfielder B. Silva chose to sit back after Bellingham and Guerrero's steals, and passed the ball to the back midfielder Rodri behind him.
Under normal circumstances, the high-pressure pressing of the general team can end this wave of pressing by forcing the midfielder to sit back, and the players who grabbed the ball need to start retreating.
But after Dortmund's players have not fought for the ball during this period, the mentality of the players has also fluctuated a little.
They were two goals ahead in the first 10 minutes, but in the next nearly 20 minutes.
The high-intensity high-pressure pressing did not achieve the desired effect.
This made the Dortmund players more impatient at this time.
Except for the full-back Guerrero who stopped slightly, the remaining Bellingham and the left winger Hazard continued to press Rodri who was holding the ball.
Rodri, who had suffered a loss from Lin Jie's counter-steal not long ago.
This time, facing Dortmund's high-pressure pressing.
He did not choose to dribble by himself, but quickly passed the ball back to the central defender behind him.
The central defender Ruben Dias who received the ball at the back point first looked at the running position of his teammates in the front field.
Then he met the ball and made a long pass directly!
At this time, due to the continuous increase in the depth of the high-pressure pressing, Dortmund's defense line has been infinitely stretched.
All the defensive players have basically passed the half court and come to Manchester City's half court!
At this time, a simple counterattack long pass can easily penetrate the entire Dortmund defense line!
Of course, Lin Jie is still closely watching the left side where De Bruyne is.
In this kick, Ruben Dias's long pass is also looking for the right side where Lin Jie is not.
And Bellingham's grab on the right side makes there is more space behind him!
At this time, Bellingham saw Ruben Dias's long pass and realized that it was not good.
It was too late to retreat now because he had been pressing rashly.
Under Guardiola's passing and control system, as a central defender, passing is also a basic skill that needs to be mastered!
Ruben Dias's long pass was also quite accurate!
He perfectly found B. Silva, who had just passed the ball back and started to move forward behind Bellingham.
Fortunately, just when Bellingham decided to continue pressing forward, Guerrero made the right decision!
He did not participate in this continuous high-pressure pressing, but stopped.
At this time, he was able to rush to B. Silva's side in the first time to interfere with his receiving the ball and subsequent holding the ball.
But B. Silva is also a top world-class midfielder after all, and his reaction is also quite quick.
When he realized that he could not get the ball well in the face of Guerrero's interference.
B. Silva also directly used his body to withstand Guerrero's interference.
The difference in height and strength between the two is not big.
B. Silva occupied a better position, and after leaning against him, Guerrero could not effectively interfere.
However, Guerrero was not in a hurry, after all, he had successfully stuck to B. Silva!
And at this time, Guerrero's vision also noticed that Hummels, as a central defender, had chosen to take the initiative to interfere in advance.
Instead of retreating to the penalty area and passively waiting for the attack.
Prepared to meet the breakthrough and double-team B. Silva.
Even if B. Silva could take this ball.
The next operation after receiving the ball was not so easy.
But the next B. Silva's handling made Guerrero a little confused!
B. SilvaAfter Hummels leaned against Guerrero, he watched the ball fall from the air and did not intend to stop the ball directly!
Instead, he faced the ball and continued to poke forward with the instep of his foot, and sent it like this!
Hummels, who had originally rushed forward to interfere with B. Silva's advance after holding the ball, misjudged the direction!
He was a little confused by B. Silva's pass, and was stunned for a while, and did not react in time!
But Manchester City's attack will not stop because of Hummels's daze!
Originally, Hummels pounced on B. Silva's position, but B. Silva did not take the ball and sent it forward directly!
It happened to be given to Mahrez, who was also constantly advancing!
And Mahrez's position was closer to Hummels. After receiving the ball, Marquez took the opportunity to pass the ball to the left.
This made Hummels, who was originally intended to block and double-team B. Silva, not fully prepared and was shaken away, and was instantly passed!
What's more terrible is that Dortmund's forward formation was a bit too deep.
At this time, after Mahrez passed Hummels, Dortmund's defense line only had Akanji.
And Akanji's position was scattered because there were only two central defenders left in his own half, and the area to be defended was too large.
It was obviously difficult to catch up at this time!
There is no doubt that this is a one-on-one opportunity for Mahrez!
Mahrez handled it quite calmly.
Although behind him, Hummels had quickly returned to defense.
But this did not affect Mahrez's calm handling of his shooting rhythm!
Facing the goalkeeper Cober who kept using small steps to approach him.
After two steps away from the small penalty area line, he decisively chose to slow down and adjust the frequency of his feet.
After two bicycle kicks, he directly shot a left foot into the far corner, easily passing the ten fingers guarded by Cober!
GOOOOOOAL! ! !
2:1!
Manchester City used a simple two-foot pass to directly penetrate Dortmund's defense.
Equalize one!
"This wave of Dortmund's high-pressure pressing is a bit too deep!"
"Bellingham doesn't need to continue to press forward for this ball."
"At this depth, Manchester City's passing and cutting cooperation will not be a problem!"
"This wave of rash forward will cause a large defensive gap behind Dortmund!"
"Ruben Dias's long pass!"
"Fortunately, Guerrero is still experienced and didn't keep up!"
"Wait!"
"B. Silva's handling of this ball is very beautiful!"
"He chose to send the ball forward without stopping the ball!"
"Mach "" The rhythm changes, it's over! "" Hummels was over! "" One -on -one, how do you say! " "In the face of this top opponent, Dortmund can't be careless!" After seeing such a simple, Zhan Jun was a little worried about Dortmund. However, after so long adaptation, they can definitely find it! "" Sure enough, it will be found by Manchester City so soon. "Dortmund's rhythm is really a bit messed up during this period!"
"It was very good to implement this high-pressure pressing tactic during that period."
"But there is a problem if it is always implemented like this!"
"This dream start still makes Dortmund's players a little forgetful!"
"We must adjust as soon as possible. If this continues, Manchester City's offensive firepower will be reduced."
"I'm afraid this one-goal lead will not last long!"
Although he is a Manchester City legend, Sun Jihai is still more worried about Dortmund's situation.
...
On the sidelines, after seeing the team finally pull one back.
Guardiola's expression also relaxed a little.
Although he is quite confident in his players.
But the two-goal deficit and the previous poor state still make Guardiola a little worried.
Who let Dortmund have Lin Jie who doesn't play by the rules.
Who knows that when Dortmund starts to defend, Manchester City'sWill the attack be completely blocked by Lin Jie alone?
Fortunately, Dortmund is still immersed in the previous dream start.
Manchester City players on the field are also quickly entering the state of the game.
Dortmund is still thinking about scoring Manchester City's third goal, which gives Manchester City a chance to counterattack!
Guardiola is not panicking with only one goal behind.
After simply signaling his players to attack, Guardiola also walked back to the bench and planned to sit down and drink some water.
Guardiola was in no mood to drink water after losing two goals in the first 10 minutes, and he stood on the sidelines waiting for the situation to change.
Now he has time and mood to sit down and rest.
And Dortmund's head coach, Marco Rose, is just the opposite.
The original feeling of winning is gone.
After all, his team was penetrated by the opponent's simple two passes.
No one can sit still.
And the current state of the team is obviously a bit out of control!
If they continue to press high like this, Manchester City will have more and more space to counterattack!
The two-goal lead may be equalized by Manchester City in the next second!
So Marco Rose also ran to the sidelines to shake people and instruct on tactical arrangements.
Of course, he didn't need to give any extra instructions.
After losing the ball on the field, Lin Jie organized his teammates.
"Hey! Guys!"
"Although we got a good start."
"But we need to know that the opponent we are facing is Manchester City!"
"It's not the teams we met before!"
"We can't underestimate them just because we are in a bad start!"
At this time, Bellingham also lowered his head in shame.
"Sorry, Lin, this is my problem."
"I was a little too anxious. I missed someone on my side."
Looking at Bellingham who took the initiative to admit his mistake, Lin Jie also patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Jie also knew that this was not just Bellingham's problem.
This is the team's blind arrogance after an unimaginable dream start.
It's just that Bellingham became the first point of thunder.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
"It's only the first half now!"
"And we are still one goal ahead!"
"Next, play steadily and don't get too excited!"
"Focus!"
"We have played against Manchester City, I believe everyone knows what kind of team they are!"
"Come on!"
After listening to Lin Jie's words, Dortmund's players shouted in unison.
"Come on!"
Marco Rose, who originally wanted to ask Lin Jie to come over for a chat, smiled and nodded when he saw this scene.
He was very satisfied with Lin Jie's performance.
Lin Jie is also becoming more and more like a captain.
"What a good seedling!"
"I don't need to remind you!"
"It seems that we have to promote Lin Jie to captain in advance!"
"I think it will be fine next season. I'll talk to Reus then."
...
Restart.
Dortmund has the ball!
After the lesson of losing the ball just now and Lin Jie's lecture.
Dortmund's rhythm also dropped rapidly.
They didn't look for opportunities to attack like before.
Instead, they took the initiative to control the ball.
On the other hand, Manchester City.
After a simple two-foot pass broke through Dortmund's defense.
Manchester City's players rekindled the flame of reversal!
After experiencing Dortmund's previous high-intensity pressing.
Now it's time for them to get back on track!
The roles of both sides were instantly swapped.
Manchester City started the high-pressure pressing in the frontcourt.
Fortunately, Dortmund had just experienced Bayern's high-intensity pressing.
Facing Manchester City's pressing, he handled it well.
However, the previous high-pressure pressing obviously consumed more physical energy of Dortmund players.
There were still mistakes under Manchester City's high-pressure pressing.
But Dortmund had an accident after all.
Lin Jie!
His stamina of 99 made him not affected by his physical fitness at all.
After experiencing high-intensity high-pressure pressing, Lin Jie was still full of energy in the second half of the first half.
With Lin Jie constantly expanding his defensive area.
In addition, by putting the focus back on defense, Dortmund's defense line was immediately stabilized.
Manchester City did not find a good opportunity in the next attack in the first half.
Both sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2:1!
