As both sides completed the substitutions.
Manchester City, who controlled the ball, launched a fierce attack again.
As it was the last 10 minutes of the game.
For Manchester City, this was their last window to equalize the score.
This was the final battle of the game!
On the offensive end, Sterling and Jesus, who came on as substitutes in advance, took on the main offensive responsibilities.
After all, they had adapted to the rhythm of the game in advance.
Unlike the new substitutes now.
It takes appropriate time to adapt to the rhythm on the field.
So Sterling and Jesus, one on the left and one on the right, both relied on active running.
And familiar with Dortmund's defense, actively advanced to the weak point of Dortmund's defense.
At this time, De Bruyne was still the dealer on the Manchester City field.
Although the long-term fierce confrontation has caused De Bruyne's physical fitness to decline seriously.
But with his terrifying vision, De Bruyne can still deliver threatening passes from time to time.
Due to the decline in physical fitness, De Bruyne needs to rest for a while from time to time.
As a result, his passing is sometimes intermittent.
Of course, there are certain tactical arrangements in this.
This selective passing method.
Although it is meaningless for Jesus and Sterling in the frontcourt to run sometimes.
But it constantly pulls Dortmund's defense line.
And this pulling is against the two Dortmund full-backs who just came on as substitutes!
After all, they just came on as substitutes, and they will definitely fight actively as soon as they come on.
But soon they found that the previous active defense and rushing to block were meaningless.
Because the Manchester City striker who ran forward did not receive the pass from De Bruyne at all, De Bruyne did not choose to pass at all.
Once, twice, or even three times, they are still willing to actively run and block.
But after 4, 5, and 6 times, he may hesitate whether he needs to rush to block next time.
After all, as substitutes, they come up to show their value.
In their opinion, after not passing the ball for so many times in a row.
They will definitely not pass the ball next time.
They naturally want to help the team and make contributions.
They naturally don’t want to do this kind of meaningless running and blocking.
There is still a certain gap between the personal ability of the substitute players and the starting players.
They can’t realize how big the threat of these Manchester City players’ running is like the starting players.
And because the cooperation between the substitute players and the starting players is not particularly high.
As substitute players, they are also worried that they will frequently and meaninglessly go on the court to block.
They frequently leave the defensive area where they should be.
It may cause them to miss people in the defensive area where they should be, giving Manchester City the opportunity to attack.
So after several consecutive runs.
The two full-backs who came on as substitutes for Dortmund were a little blind to the frequent forward insertions of Manchester City strikers.
This gave Manchester City the opportunity to attack!
The 83rd minute of the game!
Jesus on the right successfully received the pass from De Bruyne!
This time, Schulz, who came on as a substitute, did not keep up with Jesus.
Jesus had made four or five forward runs before, but only once did De Bruyne pass the ball to him, and he defended well that time.
So in his opinion, Manchester City did not get any chances after so many attempts.
Jesus was unlikely to receive the ball.
So he still chose to stand in the defensive range where he should stand.
He did not choose to follow Jesus to the baseline.
So this time, although De Bruyne's pass was obviously a little too big due to his declining physical fitness.
Jesus did not get the ball until he stood outside the baseline and stopped the ball back inside the line with his chest.
But there was still no Dortmund defensive player around him to interfere in the first place.
This time, Schulz did not keep up with Jesus, giving Jesus a good breakthrough space!
But Dortmund did take down Reus and another central defender after this wave of substitutions.
At this time, there were three central defenders in Dortmund's penalty area.
Hummels and Pongracic immediately chose to move forward, one on the left and one on the right.
Quickly double-teamed Jesus as he continued to cut in along the baseline.
But Jesus was no pushover!
With the Brazilian's excellent skills, he kept dodging left and right.
And the Dortmund defenders in the penalty area didn't dare to make big moves.
He used his body to constantly block the two Dortmund defenders' attempts to steal the ball.
He even seized the opportunity at the end and completed a beautiful crotch-through return.Pass!
Directly through Ponglakic's crotch, completing a beautiful inverted triangle pass!
Fortunately, Dortmund's overall formation was relatively deep at this time.
Lin Jie chose to retreat as soon as he saw Jesus stop the ball.
Successfully completed the halfway robbery before Palmer successfully grabbed the ball near the penalty area!
However, it is a pity that this time Lin Jie's quick return tackle did not trigger the skill [Precision Slide] to keep the ball in place, but passively cleared the ball out of the baseline.
Dortmund escaped a disaster.
With this previous lesson, Dortmund's defense was more focused in the following time.
The substitute players were also deeply taught by this wave, and they knew that they could no longer think about whether this kind of pursuit was meaningful or whether they would miss people.
Do what you should do and believe that your teammates can defend, that's it.
Moreover, Lin Jie's return defense clearance also greatly inspired Dortmund's momentum.
In the following game time, Dortmund's players tried their best to hold on to their last breath.
After seeing this ball, Manchester City's players also saw the opportunity to score.
And there was no more time left for Manchester City's players at this time!
So Manchester City launched the most fierce attack again!
The central defenders even gave up defense!
For them, losing one or two now is no different!
Because the final result will be eliminated by Dortmund.
And now the only way is to try their best to score another goal and tie the total score!
And after all, Manchester City is playing at home, and the referee tonight is also quite powerful, giving a full 7 minutes of injury time!
In the second minute of stoppage time, Zinchenko made a 45-degree cross from the left, and Ruben Dias' header in the penalty area was bravely saved by goalkeeper Cober!
In the next corner kick, Manchester City took a tactical corner kick. De Bruyne made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball and then made a cross, but goalkeeper Cober took the ball steadily.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Walker's pass from the right to the bottom line was cleared by Hummels.
Rodri met the ball directly outside the penalty area and shot over the crossbar.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Manchester City's attack came again.
This time, Manchester City's players clearly felt the urgency of time!
They did not organize as patiently as before.
Instead, they relied on crazy running to constantly pull Dortmund's defense and directly attack when they had the chance.
Although Dortmund's physical fitness declined seriously, they kept holding on to their last breath.
There was really not much time left for Manchester City.
