The time flies.

After Dortmund's players had not adapted to the venue for long, the time came to the match day!

As a historic AC Milan, it has countless die-hard fans!

This game is the first game of AC Milan returning to the Champions League after many years, which naturally attracted countless fans!

In the live broadcast room of Tencent Sports, the old partners of commentator Zhan Jun and Coach Zhang also started their commentary work!

But after all, the time of the Champions League is still too uncomfortable for Xiaguo fans.

It is often at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night in the middle of the week, so this game still attracted many fans to stay up late to watch.

But compared with the previous Bundesliga match against Leverkusen, it is much less.

"Okay, welcome all the fans of Tencent Sports to watch the first round of the 2021/2022 Champions League group stage between AC Milan and Dortmund!"

"The commentators for this game are me and Coach Zhang. Due to some personal reasons, Ji Hai cannot comment on this game for everyone."

"This season, Dortmund has taken its performance to a higher level after Lin Jie joined the team!"

"So far, the Bundesliga has played four rounds this season, and Dortmund has also won four consecutive games. In the last game, Lin Jie also scored a stunning overhead shot at the last moment to complete the lore!"

"And their opponent AC Milan has already embarked on the road to revival!"

"After many years since the 2013/2014 season, AC Milan has once again " "AC Milan has performed very well at the start of this season, winning the first three games and currently in a three-game winning streak!" "In addition, both teams were divided into the super death group in this season's Champions League group stage!" "Every game in this group is crucial, and the result of each game will affect the final qualification!" "I believe that tonight's game will be very exciting, and it will definitely be a match of Mars hitting the Earth!" "Okay, then we have also got the starting lineups of both sides!" "First of all, the home team AC Milan still played the usual 4-2-3-1 lineup!" "Left back Theo Hernandez! Two "

"Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer, right back David Calabria!"

"Double defensive midfielders Franck Kessie, Ismael Bennacer!"

"Left forward Rafael Leao, attacking midfielder Brahim Dias, right forward Alexis Saelemaekers!"

"Single striker Ante Rebic!"

"And on the Dortmund side, coach Marko Ros used his most familiar 4-2-3-1 lineup, and we can also see that Hummels also returned to his starting position after recovering from injury in this game!"

"The four defenders are Rafael Guerrero, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, and Thomas Meunier!"

"Lin Jie and Bellingham form a double defensive midfielder. "

" On the right wing, Hazard was still unable to enter the squad for this game due to injury. "

"So the forward line is still Youssef Moukoko and Julian Brandt. "

"The front midfielder and forward positions are still the familiar Reus and Haaland!"

"Obviously both sides attach great importance to this game, and both sides have brought out their most familiar lineups."

"Everything is based on stability, after all, this is also the first game of the death group of Group C!"

"The last confrontation between the two sides dates back to 2017, when the two teams also participated in the International Champions Cup in Xiaguo, and in the end Dortmund defeated AC Milan 3:1!"

"However, due to the long time between them, the lineups of both sides have also undergone earth-shaking changes. "

"So let's look forward to this game tonight! "

When Zhan Jun finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!

AC Milan took the lead.

After the kick-off, AC Milan chose to advance steadily and did not attack immediately.

Obviously, both sides attached great importance to this first game of the Champions League group stage.

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli has obviously studied Dortmund's

Playing style.

Due to Lin Jie's presence, Dortmund's counterattack this season is extremely sharp.

In addition, Lin Jie's improvement on Dortmund's defense is also quite huge, which means that if AC Milan comes up to grab the start.

Then once Lin Jie completes the steal or AC Milan's offense makes a mistake, Dortmund's counterattack will be quite fatal!

Stefano Pioli also carefully studied the offensive battle between Dortmund and Leverkusen in the last game.

He was impressed by the sharp counterattacks of both sides.

But the most important thing is that Stefano Pioli noticed a bad habit of Dortmund this season!

That is the slow start after the opening!

Dortmund's performance in the first half was quite bad!

So Stefano Pioli also intended to grasp this point in the tactical arrangement of this game.

After coming up, AC Milan's players also controlled the rhythm, focusing on stability and looking for Dortmund's loopholes.

This can avoid Dortmund seizing the opportunity to counterattack and score first.

After all, as long as they can seize the opportunity to play steadily in the first half, if Dortmund's players are still in a bad state in the first half like in the previous game.

Then they have a chance to take the lead in the first half!

As long as they are ahead, they will take the initiative!

So the first 10 minutes were also quite dull.

Originally, Dortmund's players focused on defending AC Milan's attack in the first 10 minutes because of the previous coach's lesson.

But unexpectedly, AC Milan did not attack directly at home like Leverkusen did before.

Instead, they played slowly and passed the ball to find opportunities.

This made the Dortmund players, who had been tense, involuntarily relax.

After all, they had developed a habit before, playing lightly in the first half and playing well in the second half.

Because of the coach's instructions and the fact that it was the Champions League, they focused on defending the first 10 minutes.

Unexpectedly, the opponent did not choose to start the game, which made Dortmund's players lose their focus again.

This slackness also caused a loophole in defense!

Frank Kessie, who was in the defensive midfielder position, made a direct pass and accurately found Rafael Leao who started to run forward at high speed!
