"And we can also see that Manchester City has also made some adjustments in terms of offense."

"They are no longer obsessed with continuous penetration through the ground."

"Instead, they have strengthened the long pass transfers from the left and right full-backs to the left and right diagonal wingers!"

"This is a very thoughtful way of playing!"

"Although Manchester City does not have an advantage in terms of height, Manchester City's long pass rush this time is not directly to the penalty area."

"Instead, it is a long pass to find two wingers, and then make an inverted triangle pass to penetrate into the penalty area, just in time to avoid Lin Jie's wall of sighs blocking the penalty area."

"And in terms of the players' running positions, Guardiola obviously emphasized it again during the halftime break!"

"It can be clearly seen that Manchester City players are not stingy with their physical strength in running positions."

"This is also because they have enough bench depth as support, and there are enough substitutes to make substitutions."

Sun Jihai is also modest and tried to interpret Guardiola's adjustments on the field.

"Indeed, as Ji Hai said, Manchester City's continuous two-way attack has achieved a lot of results."

"Lin Jie's wall of sighs is also constantly filling the gaps on the left and right, which has greatly increased the pressure on Dortmund's defense!"

Looking at Manchester City's fierce attack on the field and Dortmund's defense being a little precarious.

Zhan Jun couldn't help but sweat for Dortmund.

...

Dortmund's situation on the field is indeed not very good.

Manchester City showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning of the second half.

Especially the forwards in the front court showed a state of fighting without reservation.

Even if his teammates holding the ball in this position are difficult to pass, Manchester City's offensive players are still tirelessly running and pulling Dortmund's defense.

After all, Manchester City has a top vision, De Bruyne, a top passer.

At this time, there is no one from Lin Jie to guard De Bruyne.

Dortmund has to defend against this kind of running position, even if it is difficult to give a position.

After all, for De Bruyne, he is very likely to see and pass this kind of ball.

Once Manchester City scores a goal, the momentum that was originally suppressed by Dortmund will be reversed again.

In fact, both sides are fighting and straining their strength in one breath.

As long as Dortmund can survive this wave of Manchester City's offensive frenzy.

Even if Manchester City makes large-scale personnel adjustments, replaces substitutes, and changes tactics in the future.

Dortmund's players are also confident and can easily deal with it.

Because they have withstood this wave of Manchester City's desperate counterattack, Dortmund players will become more and more confident in defense.

So both sides are very clear that it depends on who can't stand it first.

Faced with Manchester City players who are desperate for their lives and crazy forward cutting and running, Dortmund's defensive players can only keep up with the defense.

Fortunately, due to this large-scale long pass to find winger players.

Manchester City was also not particularly familiar with the offensive end, and it was not particularly smooth.

Although Manchester City was still able to pass the ball to the penalty area frequently.

But after all, there was a halftime break, and the head coach Mark Ross reminded.

Dortmund's defensive players had an extremely correct attitude towards defense and were extremely focused.

Manchester City's frequent inverted triangle passes were destroyed by the defensive players in the penalty area at the first point.

In addition, Lin Jie kept filling in the left and right positions to fill the space left by the central defender.

In addition, the closer to the goal, the smaller the space left for Manchester City's offensive players.

This also means that Lin Jie needs to cover a smaller area.

Lin Jie, with the help of the [Intercept] skill, has an extremely wide defensive interception range in this narrow area.

Manchester City did not threaten Dortmund's goal in the first few attacks.

But as Lin Jie retreated into the penalty area.

Lin Jie's quick counterattack was definitely not able to be launched in the first time.

And without Lin Jie, the remaining players of Dortmund did not do a particularly good job of protecting the top of the arc.

In the 54th minute of the game.

Walker made another long pass to find Grealish on the left.

This time Grealish had no choice but to knock the ball directly into the penalty area.

Instead, he knocked it to De Bruyne who was waiting in the corner of the penalty area!

Fortunately, at this time, the defensive midfielder Witsel kept up with De Bruyne's rhythm in the first time.

However, De Bruyne did not stop at all.

He immediately chose to pass it directly to Cancelo who was advancing!

At this time, Cancelo's position was exactly the position that Witsel needed to defend.Position.

But due to the overall forward pressure of Manchester City's formation and the premise of De Bruyne.

Witsel also followed De Bruyne to the penalty area!

It was a little late for him to see Cancelo's forward run!

Fortunately, due to Manchester City's frequent long passes to find the winger, and then knocked the ball across the penalty area.

Lin Jie's position shrank deeper.

At this time, seeing Cancelo's cut-in forward run, he immediately [flew in the clouds].

Quickly filled in from Witsel's side!

Lin Jie not only had the idea of ​​defending this ball.

He also wanted to re-enact the last ball of the first round!

That time he snatched the ball from Cancelo's feet!

Lin Jie said he had experience!

Manchester City's offense was a bit too fierce during this period.

Dortmund was also a bit tired of defending.

Lin Jie was also forced to retreat to a very deep position and had no chance to counterattack.

Now is the time to remind them of the fear of being dominated by Dortmund's counterattack!

But Cancelo is not a fool!

He gave up the idea of ​​holding the ball the moment he saw Lin Jie start!

Instead, he directly knocked the ball to the middle!

Of course, Cancelo knew the horror of Lin Jie's interception range.

Cancelo chose to knock back diagonally to avoid Lin Jie's interception!

And there was no Dortmund defender at that position!

The most important thing is!

Cancelo's pass is actually part of this wave of tactical cooperation!

All the previous operations were to prepare for the last one!

The one who ended it was none other than Manchester City's iron waist, Rodri!

Rodri also took two steps to run up at the right time and then met Cancelo's pass and directly fired a heavy shot at the goal!

Dortmund is not the only one who has Lin Jie who can fire a heavy shot!

This kick of Rodri was powerful and heavy!

And because of Manchester City's previous operation, Dortmund's defensive attention was all drawn to the left.

This time Rodri shot directly to the middle of the right side of the goal without any Dortmund defensive players intercepting!

"Bang!!!"

There was only a crisp sound of the football hitting the metal.

Then in a flash, the football bounced off the door frame and fell on the grass inside the Dortmund goal.

Finally, it hit the Dortmund net.

GOOOOOOAL!!!

1:1!

Manchester City scored a goal back!
