Guardiola, who had his hands in his pockets and didn't know what an opponent was, couldn't maintain his indifferent expression after seeing this goal.
His team had just played a beautiful cooperation, which gave him hope of a reversal.
As a result, the next second, Dortmund also passed the ball through the entire defense line with two passes.
This goal is not just a defensive problem.
For Dortmund, this goal not only broke the goal drought after scoring a goal in the first 10 minutes.
This means that Dortmund has found a suitable way to attack again.
It also means that Dortmund has turned the tables from the passive situation.
Or it can be said that it has returned to the mental state that it should play at home.
Manchester City's previous beautiful cooperation actually severely hit Dortmund's confidence.
But this ball, Lin Jie's beautiful long pass, once again helped Dortmund's players regain their confidence!
This means that Dortmund is no longer the team that was suppressed by Manchester City before.
They regained their counterattack ability.
And this counterattack ability is extremely brutal!
For this goal, Manchester City only chose the conventional high-pressure pressing, but gave Dortmund the opportunity to counterattack.
This is enough to show that Dortmund's counterattack was swift, simple, and fatal.
So Guardiola could no longer walk to the sidelines and gesture to his players as calmly as before, hoping that the team's rhythm could slow down a bit and not be so anxious.
He was also afraid that his players would be too impatient after falling behind, and Lin Jie would catch the opportunity again and directly complete the two-goal lead.
After all, in the first 10 minutes of the first half, Manchester City lost a goal first, and the rhythm was disrupted by Dortmund, and then the second goal was scored.
Now, Manchester City originally had the opportunity to seize this wave of light-speed goals in the second half, and this perfect pass and cut cooperation to score such a smooth offensive goal, and play with momentum, and completely reverse the score in one go.
However, Lin Jie's seemingly casual pass directly disrupted the rhythm that Manchester City should have had.
So Guardiola did not want his team's rhythm on the field to be led by Dortmund after being disrupted.
Actively choose to let your players stabilize their emotions and slow down the rhythm of attack.
After all, the second half of the game has just begun.
And this is only the first round of the game.
Even losing to Dortmund in an away game is acceptable, and there is no need to fight for the moment.
Stabilize the situation, play your own rhythm, and play the state you should have. This is what Manchester City should do.
Restart.
Manchester City has the ball!
For the competitive sport of football, sometimes it is not just the personal ability of the players, but also the state on the field.
Even psychological games are part of the game on the field!
Many times, you may not be as calm as before because of impulsiveness, which ultimately leads to the failure of this wave of attack.
It is also possible that a defensive move caused you to miss this point, and the opponent finally seized the opportunity to complete the reversal.
After all, players are also human beings, not machines, and the personal ability of players is only a part of the player's strength.
Originally, Dortmund scored another goal so quickly.
The mentality of the Manchester City players on the field was actually a bit impatient and a little bit excited.
For them, they played such a perfect cooperation in the second half.
And after 10 minutes of the start, Dortmund did not organize an effective attack, but Manchester City kept attacking.
It can be said that they are the ones who control the situation!
And the most important thing is that they originally wanted to replicate the effect of the rhythm change of Dortmund at the beginning of the first half!
Prove to the fans in the audience that Manchester City is the team with the most hope of advancing!
They can also play the performance that Dortmund can play.
As a result, in this situation of high momentum.
Instead, Dortmund reproduced their last goal in the first half.
Originally wanted to make Dortmund the background board, but ended up being the clown on the background board.
So Manchester City players also wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, re-declaring that they still had the initiative on the field.
But after Guardiola's instructions, the originally impatient mood calmed down.
After the previous wave of ups and downs, Manchester City players also immediately realized the problem.
After kicking off, Manchester City'sThe attack was not as urgent as before, but was steadily organized to slowly find Dortmund's defensive loopholes.
De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and the trident in the frontcourt passed and cooperated continuously.
Manchester City steadily looked for opportunities to attack and did not give Dortmund a chance to counterattack.
This made Lin Jie sigh in regret.
Originally, he was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
As long as Manchester City's attack was still as impatient as before.
Now Lin Jie took the initiative to give up the single-man defense of De Bruyne and retreated to the top of the arc in his own penalty area to participate in the defense.
Lin Jie's return defense will definitely affect Manchester City's overall attack, and there will be a good counterattack opportunity at that time.
However, with the steady advancement of Manchester City, Lin Jie's plan also failed.
And the calm Manchester City team began to steadily advance the attack, which became more and more threatening.
In the 58th minute of the game, De Bruyne pushed forward on the left and played a beautiful cooperation with Grealish.
Successfully passed Witsel's defense and De Bruyne took a long shot directly outside the penalty area.
Although Lin Jie rushed here at the first time, it is obvious that De Bruyne can get more space when defending alone.
This long shot was half a beat late by Lin Jie and he did not complete the perfect block at the first time.
Fortunately, Lin Jie's defense against De Bruyne before made De Bruyne have no particularly good ball holding opportunities in the first half.
Now the first shot after being released, this kick felt a little loose, and the football also flew over the crossbar to the stands.
In the 64th minute, Manchester City's attack came back.
It was still De Bruyne!
Obviously, when Lin Jie gave up the single-man defense against De Bruyne, De Bruyne was liberated to a certain extent, and also showed his terrifying vision and offensive organization ability.
A beautiful pass with the outside of his foot went directly over Lin Jie who was rushing up, and was passed to Mahrez who was advancing on the right side in an unexpected way!
Dortmund's defensive attention was also attracted by De Bruyne on this ball, and Mahrez seized the opportunity, which was almost a completely open opportunity!
But tonight is Dortmund's home court after all!
Mahrez's left foot rubbed the far corner with a little more force.
In the end, it hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.
Dortmund escaped!
