Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

After Zhan Jun reported the starting lineups of both sides, the players on both sides lined up to enter the stadium.

Because in the first round, Dortmund fans showed fans all over the world what the most terrifying devil's home stadium in Europe is.

Originally, Manchester City fans wanted to show the strength of their fans in this game.

But obviously due to the regulations of the English Football Association and their own cultural differences

In the end, Manchester City fans did not show the shocking Tifo in their home stadium.

However, the fans still carried blue flags, blue scarves, and blue ribbons.

And all the blue items they could think of.

The fans announced to the world in their own way that this venue belongs to their Manchester City!

And the color of the sky on the land of Manchester is blue!

They will defeat Dortmund at home and tell Manchester United next door with their strength.

Dortmund, which they did not cross over, has now been crossed by them!

And they will step on Dortmund and advance to the final!

The Manchester City fans at the scene also used their actions to give enough psychological pressure to the Dortmund players who came to challenge away.

Of course, compared with the shocking Tifo that spanned the entire field in the first round, Manchester City was still a little inferior this time.

…

After a short pre-match ceremony, the captains of both sides also came to the midfield to guess the coin.

In the last Bundesliga match, because Reus did not start.

In addition, most of the older main players in the team entered the substitute lineup and did not start. Lin Jie also wore the captain's armband for the first time.

And Lin Jie's African-like black face naturally continued to guess the coin.

This time when Reus stood up again to open the coin.

As a European, he lived up to expectations and helped Dortmund get the opportunity to kick off first.

…

"Beep!!!"

As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, this exciting second round of the Champions League semi-final Dortmund vs. Manchester City officially started!

Manchester City adopted an extremely aggressive high-pressure tactic right from the start.

For Manchester City players, after all, they are still one goal behind in the total score.

Obviously, Manchester City players also know that although the second round of the game came to their most familiar home stadium, Etihad Stadium, this is not a reason for them to dawdle.

In the first round of the game, they have already felt Dortmund's ability on the defensive end.

Especially Lin Jie's sweeping and supplementary defense, it is often difficult for their offense to have a certain effect.

Although they only need to score one goal to equalize the total score, they are still a little worried about facing Lin Jie's defense.

So in Guardiola's tactical arrangement this time, Manchester City needs to complete the equalization of the total score as soon as possible!

After all, if Manchester City has not been able to make up for the one-goal deficit in the total score.

As time goes by, Dortmund players will be more positive in mentality and more defensive.

At that time, Manchester City's offense will become more and more difficult to launch.

And you have to know that Dortmund is not a team that only knows how to defend, they also have very sharp counterattacks!

Manchester City started high-pressure pressing as soon as possible, and attacked frantically, even if there were certain mistakes.

Dortmund's counterattack seized the opportunity.

There is still time for them to make up for it later.

And if they were lazy and did not give enough offensive pressure to let Dortmund survive the previous period, as time goes by, the pressure will be pushed to Manchester City little by little.

And this pressure will get bigger and bigger!

It seems that they are only one goal behind, but Manchester City can't equalize, and the players' mentality will fluctuate.

The offensive players will become more and more impatient, while the defensive players will become more and more calm.

In this case, the more impatient Manchester City players are, the more opportunities they will give Dortmund!

After all, when the whole army presses on to attack, Dortmund will seize the opportunity to steal another one.

Under the disadvantage of two goals, there is not much time left for Manchester City, and the offense has not been opened, and it is almost impossible to reverse it.

Guardiola also learned from the previous game.

He also wanted to see if he could seize the opportunity to get a head start in this game.

After all, England is an island country, and compared with continental countries like Germany, the climate changes more and the players' physical sensations change more.

Although he also knew that Dortmund came early, he still wanted to try to catch Dortmund off guard!

Or catchThey were not focused at the beginning of the game and scored first.

So Manchester City started to press Dortmund very fiercely.

Especially this time they returned to the familiar Premier League stadium.

The referee's whistle will definitely be biased.

Manchester City is more daring in the confrontation.

Fortunately, Dortmund came to Manchester in advance.

They did not enter the state slowly and were not adapted to the away game like Manchester City did before.

In addition, Dortmund has experienced a devilish schedule during this period.

But Dortmund survived this wave of devilish schedule!

The devilish schedule during this period has made Dortmund's players quite experienced in defending high-pressure pressing.

In addition, Lin Jie saw Dortmund doing this this time, actively started high-pressure pressing, decisively chose to shrink with the ball, and did not advance the attack.

Dortmund also began to pass the ball back and forth in the backcourt to avoid Manchester City's high-pressure pressing.

But Manchester City is not stupid. They know that Lin Jie is the converter of Dortmund's counterattack.

Lin Jie's counterattack long pass is quite threatening.

After this high-pressure, the gap left behind is most afraid of Lin Jie's top vision and extremely accurate counterattack long pass.

So this time, Grealish, who had a long defensive confrontation with Lin Jie in the group stage, was placed next to him.

Although Grealish was already a little overwhelmed when facing Lin Jie at that time.

Not to mention Lin Jie, whose performance has greatly improved now.

But for Manchester City, their goal has never been to defend Lin Jie to death, and they also know that it is unrealistic.

Grealish's role is to interfere with Lin Jie as much as possible when Lin Jie initiates the conversion.

It is enough to make it difficult for him to launch a long pass for counterattack.

And for forward players, even a yellow card is acceptable.

So if Grealish can no longer effectively interfere, then at the most critical moment, just give Lin Jie a shot to block his counterattack, as long as he doesn't get a red card, it's a win.

But soon Lin Jie showed the Manchester City players with his actual actions that it was very difficult to defend him.

Since Grealish is a left winger, he was specifically guarding beside Lin Jie at this time.

Manchester City only had two points to press Dortmund's back line and goalkeeper in the frontcourt, Mahrez and Foden.

It is obviously unrealistic for two people to press Dortmund's entire back line.

So the first wave of Manchester City's pressing on the back line was not particularly ideal.

Dortmund's back line also cooperated well, and there were no mistakes in the continuous passing and cutting.

But after all, it was the beginning of the game and Manchester City's players were still quite energetic.

After realizing that the previous pressing could not have an impact, Mahrez and Foden also increased their running range.

The tireless running of the two still had a certain impact on Dortmund's defense.

Still, Dortmund's two central defenders could not complete the long pass forward, and could only pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Looking at the ball passed back by the central defender, Cobell originally wanted to kick it forward directly.

After all, there is Haaland, the high point in front of Dortmund, and the point that Markros told Dortmund before the game was defense.

For Dortmund, they can eliminate Manchester City as long as they keep a draw in this game, as long as they are not equalized or even reversed by Manchester City.

As a goalkeeper, this long pass forward is the safest and most reliable way.

But soon Cobell saw that not far ahead, Lin Jie took the initiative to retreat and reached out for the ball.

Cobell also did not hesitate at all, and his footwork changed directly into a low pass.

At this time, Foden from Manchester City originally came over to press goalkeeper Cobell.

But after seeing Cober's action, he subconsciously thought that Cober was going to kick the ball in front of the field, so he stopped.

He stopped and did not continue to press forward.

And the change in the line of Cober's pass also caught Foden off guard.

At this time, it was too late for him to start again to intercept the pass.

Fortunately, Grealish had been guarding Lin Jie, and after seeing Lin Jie retreat to receive the ball, he immediately followed Lin Jie's pace.

But obviously Grealish overestimated his strength.

Soon Lin Jie showed the Manchester City players with his actual actions that it was very difficult to defend him.things.

Although Grealish caught up with Lin Jie in the first place, Grealish, who was constantly fighting against Lin Jie, found that he could not push Lin Jie at all.

Grealish's height of 175cm is much smaller than Lin Jie's.

What's more, Lin Jie also has the blessing of the fighter, and the [Fighter] skill suddenly activated during the confrontation.

Lin Jie used his left hand to resist Grealish's interference on the side and led the ball with his left foot.

A beautiful turn was completed, followed by the explosion of [Soaring in the Clouds and Driving the Mist].

As mentioned before, the terrifying explosion of Lin Jie under the blessing of the [Soaring in the Clouds and Driving the Mist] skill can only be felt by experiencing it personally.

There is no way to fully show it in the TV playback and video playback.

By the time Grealish reacted and realized that something was wrong, Lin Jie had already rushed out half a step away.

At this time, Grealish had missed the opportunity to stretch his foot to trip Lin Jie.

He could only pull Lin Jie to try to stop him.

Then Grealish found that Lin Jie was like a tank and could not be pulled at all.

He also pulled Lin Jie's jersey with all his strength.

As a result, he was also driven forward two steps by Lin Jie's force.

At this time, Grealish realized that he could not stop Lin Jie's counterattack.

He could only remind his teammates loudly at the first time.

"Be careful of the counterattack!!!"

Then Grealish found that the hand that originally grabbed Lin Jie's jersey had been broken free by Lin Jie, and Lin Jie had already left him two positions!

Fortunately, as a defensive midfielder, Rodri knew Lin Jie's ability very well, and he also made a plan in advance.

He knew that Grealish might not be able to stop Lin Jie's counterattack.

So in the high-pressure situation, he chose to stand closer to Lin Jie.

After Lin Jie rushed forward less than 10 meters in the counterattack, Rodri successfully appeared in front of Lin Jie.

This made Lin Jie, who originally wanted to rush directly to the Manchester City penalty area, frown.

However, his 94-degree vision quickly noticed the running position of Dortmund's frontcourt players.

Out of trust in their own players, Dortmund's three forwards did not choose to return to defense immediately.

Instead, they ambushed behind Manchester City players and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

After seeing Lin Jie successfully pick up the ball, Dortmund's three frontcourt players immediately launched a counterattack.

"Devil!"

It was still the most familiar Lin Ha connection.

Lin Jie did not choose to pass the ball to the wingers on both sides.

Because Manchester City's two full-backs were defending Dortmund's wingers from counterattacking, this wave of high-pressure pressing was not too deep.

Moreover, the two wingers were pulled away near the sideline. If they wanted to pass directly, the distance was a bit far, and the position was not good.

After hearing Lin Jie shout out the familiar two words, Rodri, who rushed over at the first time, immediately concentrated his spirit.

Last time, Lin Jie used a beautiful long pass to penetrate Manchester City's entire defense in a counterattack and assisted Haaland to score easily.

This time, Rodri will not give Lin Jie such a beautiful pass opportunity!

When he saw Lin Jie's right foot move forward to pass the ball, he immediately took a step to Lin Jie's right side and then jumped up immediately.

Obviously, Rodri's action this time was to defend Lin Jie's long pass.

But in the end, Rodri found that Lin Jie's pass was actually a fake pass!

Lin Jie's right foot did not complete the long pass immediately, but dunked the ball back.

Although this time Lin Jie successfully shook Rodri's defensive center of gravity.

But in the end, Lin Jie still chose to pass the ball instead of continuing to carry it forward.

After all, this time Lin Jie no longer had the explosive acceleration of flying clouds and mist.

Although Rodri's defensive center of gravity was shaken, it was obviously unrealistic for Lin Jie to pass Rodri and continue to move forward.

After all, Rodri is not Grealish. When Lin Jie passes by him, he will most likely be fouled by Rodri.

In this way, a good counterattack opportunity originally belonging to Dortmund will be intercepted.

So Lin Jie chose to use the outside of his foot to complete a ground arc ball that penetrated Manchester City's entire defense again!

Because behind Rodri, Ruben Dias was also afraid of Lin Jie's long pass last time!

And that ball was missed because of his misjudgment, which led to the failure to clear the siege.

This time, Ruben Dias's defensive position was naturally to defend Lin Jie's long pass.

I didn't expect that Lin Jie didn't choose the previous long pass this time!

Instead, he chose the outside of his foot to pass after the fake pass!

This outside of his footThe ground ball happened to be stuck in the opposite direction of Ruben Dias's movement!

Ruben Dias had no time to retreat back to intercept Lin Jie's outside foot ground ball!

And another Manchester City central defender Laporte was still suppressed by Haaland behind him.

Manchester City, who originally wanted to grab the start, was suddenly in great danger.
