Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

The excitement was already boiling in the Westfalen Stadium.

At this moment, 80,000 Dortmund fans were already boiling.

Especially the 25,000 diehard fans in the south stand released yellow smoke at the first time!

Although they were full of confidence in their own team, they did not expect to be able to lead Manchester City at home in just 4 minutes!

You know, that's Manchester City!

At this moment, they seemed to suddenly realize that their belief in the home team did not seem so firm!

At this time, Dortmund fans could only respond to the magic man Haaland sitting in the stands and the Dortmund players celebrating around him with more excited voices!

At this time, the broadcast camera suddenly turned to Josep Guardiola, the head coach of Manchester City, who was standing on the sidelines.

Guardiola crossed his hands, frowned, and was thinking about something.

However, there was no sign of anxiety on his face.

This goal was actually caused to a large extent by the lack of concentration of the two central defenders of Manchester City.

After the start of the game, Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt have been suppressing Dortmund. Although Dortmund barely controlled the ball, they had no chance to send the ball to the front line players.

This also caused the two central defenders to relax their attention.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jie's sudden breakthrough and the fatal long pass caught Manchester City's defense line off guard.

And Guardiola is also very confident in his players. Manchester City has almost monopolized the Premier League championship in recent seasons. It has experienced a lot of storms. At present, it is just behind at the beginning, which is not a big problem!

Not to mention that Manchester City was originally the team that suppressed and controlled the ball, and the reason for the loss was also because of the wrong rhythm.

Next, we will enter the familiar rhythm of Manchester City!

Controlling the ball in their own hands is the familiar rhythm of Manchester City!

Restart, Manchester City has the ball!

The Blue Moon, playing away, is obviously unwilling to easily lose key points away from home, especially in this super death group of the Champions League group stage.

It also started the bombardment mode.

The whole team pressed forward as soon as they got the ball!

Manchester City's two central defenders also pressed near the center line. After all, sometimes the two central defenders will still participate in the conduction of the attack.

However, on the Dortmund side, the three midfielders Lin Jie, Witsel and Bellingham are all good at defense!

It can be said that the original dream start gave them more room to play.

Especially as the current engine of Dortmund, Lin Jie!

Facing the double-teaming of Manchester City in the frontcourt, Lin Jie simply couldn't easily send out a beautiful long pass like before.

But now the counterattack long pass opportunity after landing is very big!

Not to mention that Dortmund's frontcourt currently has a super center, Erling Bronte Haaland, who has the ability to compete with Mbappe after Messi and Ronaldo!

As Manchester City's midfield brain, De Bruyne naturally took over the ball.

Looking at Lin Jie who completed a beautiful long pass, De Bruyne's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

It has been a long time since he met someone who can compete with him in vision and passing!

Unexpectedly, Lin Jie, who he was going to promote before the game, took the lead in completing the assist. How could he, as the world's number one midfielder, fall behind!

However, De Bruyne obviously underestimated Dortmund's defensive strength.

Although several good long passes found space, the next breakthrough opportunity of the Manchester City players who received the ball was intercepted by Dortmund's defensive players.

Especially Lin Jie, with the help of Nesta's sliding tackle, Lin Jie also completed several good steals in succession.

Even the small frontcourt players of Manchester City have good dribbling skills.

But after completing the steal, Lin Jie was often disturbed by Manchester City players at the first time.

Obviously Manchester City also learned from the experience of Dortmund's previous opponents before the game, and did not give Lin Jie any chance to counterattack long passes!

In the first few minutes after the restart, Dortmund successfully defended Manchester City's somewhat impatient and messy attack.

However, Manchester City's luxurious midfield configuration and the three forwards have strong vision and passing and controlling rhythm.

Through continuous transmission

Manchester City gradually became familiar with Dortmund's defensive rhythm on the field, and continued to tear Dortmund's defense line through several precise large-scale transfers.

Bellingham and Hummels were attracted by Prince Foden who cut inside from the top of the arc to find an opportunity, and the two overlapped in defense!

This caused a defensive gap behind them!

And Prince Foden, who cut inside from the top of the arc with the ball, has not found a route to the Dortmund penalty area, so he can only choose to pass it back to De Bruyne who is waiting not far from the top of the arc!

Kevin De Bruyne, a top midfielder, naturally seized the gap behind the two!

Looking at the ball passed back and Hummels who began to stop and prepare to retreat two steps, De Bruyne did not choose to stop the ball!

Instead, he directly faced the ball and pushed the ball into the gap with the arch of his right foot!

De Bruyne made a precise through pass from the left side of the two of them!

This through pass easily tore a hole in the originally impenetrable Dortmund defense like a hot knife cutting butter!

Although Hummels stopped when he saw Foden's back pass, he still needed time to retreat to the gap!

He could only watch the ball roll past him!

Mahrez, the right winger, also reacted very quickly, using his outstanding explosive power to shake off Rafael Guerrero, the left back of Dortmund who was originally entangled with him.

Then, facing the football that was given in advance, he used his left foot, his dominant foot, and shot directly!

The football flew quickly towards the near corner of Dortmund's goal!

Dortmund goalkeeper Kobel's attention was on Foden who kept cutting inward from the left at the top of the arc. He never thought that the football would be hit directly to his left after a back pass!

From the far left side of the goal to the far right side of the goal, Kerber had no time at all!

Not to mention that the angle of Mahrez's shot was quite tricky, it could almost be said that the ball flew into the goal by brushing the right post of Dortmund's goal!

GOOOOOOAL!!!

In the 18th minute of the game, Manchester City equalized the score!
