Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

Fortunately, there is still good news for Manchester City.

Although Ruben Dias misjudged the direction this time, compared with the ball in the first round, Ruben Dias did not lose the opportunity to chase back this time.

After Ruben Dias failed to clear the ball with a hook shot last time, he had already fallen on the lawn.

There was no way to get up and chase back in the first time.

But this time Ruben Dias just misjudged the direction and method that Lin Jie would choose to sail.

On the defensive end, his defensive position was not actually lost.

Ruben Dias's reaction was also quite quick. When he saw Lin Jie's pass and realized that he had misjudged it, he immediately gave up the original direction of advance.

Quickly rushed to his own penalty area.

And behind Haaland, Laporte was also trying his best to interfere with Haaland.

Compared with the last ball, Haaland was completely alone.

After entering the penalty area this time, Ruben Dias's defense still caught up.

So although Haaland still broke into Manchester City's penalty area this time, it was still difficult to handle the ball.

On his right side, Ruben Dias was about to make up for the defense.

Behind him, Laporte was constantly interfering with him.

In front of him was Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson who had already decisively attacked.

But Haaland has shown his level as a top striker after all.

Haaland didn't hesitate at all, pretending to shoot with his right foot.

He deceived Ederson, who was originally attacking, to dive to his right and block Haaland's shooting space in the near corner as much as possible.

Ruben Dias, who quickly returned to defense, was so scared that he immediately took a step with his right foot to interfere with Haaland's shot.

Facing the defense on both sides of the front right, Haaland's handling was also quite calm.

Haaland's right foot landed on the ball, but he didn't push it directly, but pushed the ball to the left.

This time, due to Haaland's fake move, the first wave of defensive moves that Manchester City's defensive players could give had been deceived.

The next is a window period. Originally, the two Manchester City defensive players were trying to save Haaland's right foot push to the near corner.

At this time, Haaland made a dunk, and they wanted to react again, but it was obviously too late.

For Haaland, he used this dunk to directly create a very beautiful space for himself to shoot at the far corner.

After Haaland dunked the ball, he did not choose to shoot at the first time, but glanced at the position of the goal, waited for the ball to arrive at the most appropriate time, and then completed the push with his left foot.

However, it is a pity that the space left is still a little small.

Haaland's handling of this ball is quite beautiful, but because it is a left-foot push to the far corner.

This kind of shooting method can only push a straight line, but not a curve like the right foot to the far corner.

In the eyes of Dortmund players' expectation and Manchester City players' despair, Haaland's shot just brushed the goal post and rolled out of the bottom line.

Manchester City escaped!

"Lin Jie's outside instep pass is quite beautiful, Dortmund's counterattack is coming again!"

"Haaland got the ball and broke into the penalty area, what to say!"

"Is he going to shoot? Oh, this dribble is very beautiful!"

"Shoot!!"

"Oops!!"

"The ball brushed Manchester City, and the left post of the goal rolled out of the bottom line. Dortmund missed a chance to expand the total score!"

Obviously, Zhan Jun still felt very sorry for Haaland's shot.

"Oh! Who said it wasn't!"

Coach Zhang also felt sorry for Dortmund's missed opportunity.

"Lin Jie passed the ball beautifully, and Haaland's dunk at the end was also quite beautiful."

"Although Manchester City's high-pressure pressing at the beginning was quite sufficient."

"But it was Dortmund who posed the first threat! It was still Lin Jie who launched a very deadly counterattack!"

"Fortunately, the space left for Haaland was a little small, and Manchester City escaped."

"But Dortmund was given such a counterattack opportunity at the beginning, and Manchester City still needs to consider how to launch the attack here!"

"Does this kind of high-pressure pressing still make sense for Dortmund, who are quite experienced?"

"Lin Jie is always a point that Manchester City cannot deal with."

"At present, Guardiola's tactic of letting Grealish restrict Lin Jie is unsuccessful."

"If you want to defend Lin Jie, you can only rely on Rodri, and the other players are a little behind in confrontation!"

And Sun JihaiStill analyzing from the overall perspective.

At the same time, he also expressed some concerns about Manchester City's tactical arrangements

...

Guardiola on the sidelines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the ball didn't go in.

He didn't expect that the original plan was quite good, but Lin Jie's strength at the beginning was beyond his imagination.

Fortunately, he still made enough plans before the game, and immediately shouted to the players on the field to command, and chose to change tactics.

Grealish or the frontcourt players can no longer defend Lin Jie. Grealish used his actual actions to tell Guardiola that he couldn't defend it at all.

However, this needs to wait until Dortmund gets the ball before we can see what changes Manchester City has made on the defensive end.

Now it's Manchester City's offensive rhythm!

Haaland's shot just now also made the Manchester City players on the field terrified, but fortunately it was just a little bit short in the end.

But you have to know that this is their home court itself, they want to grab the start and give Dortmund a head start.

As a result, Dortmund was given such a good counterattack opportunity that almost caused another goal loss.

This made the Manchester City players on the field feel a little embarrassed.

So after regaining the ball, Manchester City's attack was quite fierce, but also quite cautious.

The fierceness lies in the frequent and continuous empty cutting and running of Manchester City's players without the ball in the open space, pulling Dortmund's defense line.

The caution is that De Bruyne, who has the ball, will not pass the ball easily if there is no chance.

In the past, he often passed some imaginative balls, which were relatively risky.

But as long as it succeeds, it will get an excellent opportunity.

But tonight De Bruyne did not try to pass those imaginative and risky passes.

After all, Dortmund has a Lin Jie!

Some of the passing routes that De Bruyne can observe, Lin Jie can often observe.

This means that these risky passes of De Bruyne are likely to be intercepted by Lin Jie.

Then Dortmund launched a beautiful counterattack.

The counterattack just now also deeply warned Manchester City players that they need to be on guard against Dortmund's counterattack at all times!

De Bruyne dared not give Dortmund such an easy counterattack opportunity again.

After the two sides fell into position for a while, Manchester City did not have De Bruyne's adventurous pass.

It is still quite difficult to break through Dortmund's defense through general passing and cutting.

However, Manchester City is also a top Premier League giant after all, and Guardiola has coached Manchester City for many seasons.

Passing and controlling football, passing and controlling tactics have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Manchester City players.

Many actions of Manchester City can be perfectly coordinated subconsciously.

Just like Manchester City's second goal in the first round, the three players completed a one-step pass without stopping the ball.

Now that Manchester City has returned to their home court, this sense of the ball is also improving rapidly!

Although the counterattack of Dortmund just now made Manchester City players sweat.

But after all, Dortmund didn't score a goal in the end.

After Manchester City players regained possession of the ball, they continued to play beautiful passes and cuts on the field.

As their mood calmed down and they fell into position, they became more and more familiar with Dortmund's defensive tactics.

The cooperation between the players became more and more tacit, and the cooperation on the field became more and more fluent.

Manchester City's offense is also getting better and better, and gradually found the right passing and cutting routes.

Tonight, Lin Jie also chose to retreat to defend actively.

He did not adopt the special man-to-man defense tactics against De Bruyne as in the first round.

After all, this is Manchester City's home court, so we still have to give some respect.

In the first round of the game, although Lin Jie's single man defense against De Bruyne was quite good.

But other Manchester City players still opened up the situation.

The first two goals in the first round were due to Lin Jie's special man-to-man defense against De Bruyne, and he could not take care of other Manchester City players, which led to the loss of the ball.

Now that he has come to Manchester City's home court, Lin Jie must still take the overall situation into consideration.

There is no room for other Manchester City players to play the beautiful attack like in the first round.

So Manchester City's attack is still carried out through De Bruyne.

The 18th minute of the game!

De Bruyne made a beautiful through pass to find Grealish who was rushing towards the bottom line on the left.

Dortmund's Munier's defense also immediately followed up and did not give Grealish too much space to break through.

But Grealish's ball itself was a run to open up the defense. After seeing Munier follow up, he immediately passed it back to De Bruyne who also made a forward run.!

De Bruyne immediately encountered the close defense of midfielder Witsel again when he held the ball.

But De Bruyne did not stop the ball and directly kicked it to Foden who retreated to the penalty area to receive the ball.

Dortmund's defense on Foden's side still did not miss it, and Akanji also caught up at the first time!

However, Foden still did not handle this ball by himself, and continued to pass it back with a beautiful back heel.

With the pass just now, De Bruyne, who briefly got rid of Witsel, quickly moved forward and got the ball.

This wave of Manchester City's smooth cooperation on the left naturally made Dortmund's players nervous immediately!

In the first round, Manchester City's second goal was scored like this!

Suddenly, all the defensive focus of Dortmund moved towards the left.

As the core of defense, Lin Jie naturally took the lead.

De Bruyne, who had just received the ball not far from the top of the arc, saw Lin Jie coming over here, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This wave of Manchester City's attack was in De Bruyne's plan.

It was not intended to penetrate directly on the left.

De Bruyne was quite aware of how terrible Lin Jie's defensive awareness was.

In this position, his greater idea was to give enough pressure through passing and cutting to force Lin Jie to come over.

This would give more space on the right.

Then, with De Bruyne's strong vision and passing ability, he would move to the right to let Mahrez make the final finish.

Of course, if Lin Jie continued to stay in the middle and did not come over, then the left side would also be a direct finish.

After all, Lin Jie's terrifying speed and accurate sliding tackle can provide considerable defensive help.

Wherever Lin Jie is, Manchester City's offensive difficulty will increase exponentially.

The best way is to bypass Lin Jie and avoid the way he is to attack.

Lin Jie is very fast, which is its advantage, and it is also a point that is easy to be targeted!

Seeing Lin Jie approaching him.

De Bruyne was also constantly estimating the space for his pass.

After Lin Jie came to the range expected by De Bruyne.

De Bruyne immediately passed the ball with a low arc with his right foot!

Lin Jie's speed on this line had no way for him to turn back!

And this wave of Manchester City's attack on the left also attracted most of Dortmund's defensive attention!

At this time, Mahrez, who was advancing on the right, was in an absolute open position.

As long as the ball was passed, Mahrez would have an absolute chance to score!

And De Bruyne was quite confident in his pass!

After more than ten minutes of passing and cutting, his feet felt very hot.

De Bruyne had completely calculated the distance for this ball, just enough to pass Lin Jie!

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for activating the skill interception! Significantly increase the host's interception range! ]

Then, in De Bruyne's confident eyes, Lin Jie poked the ball directly with his left foot.

Originally, this pass would follow a perfect arc, just in front of Mahrez who was advancing.

But Lin Jie's poke directly changed the direction and flew to Bellingham's feet.

Fortunately, it was Bellingham who got the ball, not Lin Jie.

Dortmund could not launch a counterattack immediately.

In addition, Manchester City had suffered a loss at the beginning, and they also strengthened their defense against Dortmund's counterattack.

In the end, Lin Jie's interception did not get a good counterattack opportunity.

However, this beautiful interception also interrupted the wonderful attack organized by De Bruyne.

And De Bruyne couldn't help but be competitive after seeing that Lin Jie could intercept it!

The 25th minute of the game!

De Bruyne on the left didn't believe in evil and organized an attack again.

Then he was successfully intercepted by Lin Jie.

The 32nd minute of the game!

It was still Manchester City's attack, and it was still De Bruyne.

Still the unconvincing through pass, and in the end it was still intercepted by Lin Jie.

For De Bruyne, many of his wonderful through passes just passed the defender half a step away and hit the empty position.

But now Lin Jie has the [Intercept] skill, which expands the defensive range he can intercept!

The distance that De Bruyne originally calculated to pass was suddenly not enough!

Coupled with his terrifying burst speed, Lin Jie is now a walking wall of sighs!

Steadily blocked De Bruyne's passing line!

De Bruyne's passes again and again ended up hitting the wall again and again.

It can be said that Lin Jie's newly acquired [Intercept] skill showed its power right from the start!

De Bruyne's pass was blocked and he began to doubt his life.
