The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Obviously, Zhan Jun's opinion is the same as his two commentary partners.

In the first half, when Lin Jie was resting on the sidelines, the defensive strength shown by Dortmund was obviously unable to stop Manchester City's attack.

Even if Lin Jie could continue the game in the second half and continue the hot state in the first half.

Dortmund will also have a difficult time in the second half, because Manchester City has already flown on both wings.

Both wingers have scored goals, plus Kevin De Bruyne who is threading the needle in the middle.

It is difficult for fans to believe that Dortmund can hold the score in the second half.

In terms of offense, Dortmund has exposed too many problems in the first half.

Obviously, it was not just the three commentators in the studio, but also the Dortmund home fans at the scene who were deeply worried.

First, they were worried about Lin Jie's condition.

Second, they were worried about Dortmund's performance in the second half.

...

The halftime break was over soon, and the players from both sides returned to the field.

When they saw Lin Jie standing on the field to warm up, more than 80,000 Dortmund fans couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as this magical boy from Xiaguo is still on the field, Dortmund still has a chance!

"Okay! We can see that Lin Jie is still on the field after the halftime break!"

"And it seems that he has recovered to his best condition in the first half!"

Zhan Jun in the studio was also excited after seeing Lin Jie's lively appearance.

"And Dortmund has also made adjustments in terms of personnel!"

"First, Julian Brandt, who was originally the right winger, was replaced by Emre Can!"

"After this substitution, Dortmund's defensive formation has obviously changed to 4-5-1, strengthening the protection and control of the midfield."

"But obviously, as Dortmund's head coach Marco Rose has also noticed Dortmund's problems in the midfield."

"This substitution is to increase the number of midfielders, obviously to compete with Manchester City for control in the midfield."

Zhan Jun also immediately reported after seeing Dortmund's personnel adjustments.

"This substitution adjustment has strengthened the defense. Obviously, half of the defense line was destroyed by Grealish, so Marco Rose also took the initiative to strengthen the defense."

"However, Emre Can is obviously a defensive player. An offensive player was replaced. Does Dortmund intend to stick to this tie in the second half?"

"We still need to see how Dortmund's formation changes on the offensive end."

Sun Jihai was also a little confused about this substitution. He understood the role of this substitution on the defensive end.

But he was also a little confused about how Dortmund's lineup changed on the offensive end.

Only when Dortmund attacks can we see what the specific offensive formation is like.

...

As the referee blew the whistle for the second half of the game, Manchester City kicked off!

Obviously, after the halftime break, not only Lin Jie recovered.

The Manchester City team also took a deep breath and was in a much better state.

And Manchester City also wanted to seize the opportunity to start the second half and grab the start!

De Bruyne, the core of the midfield, got the ball and moved forward without any hesitation.

And a group of Manchester City players also rushed towards Dortmund's penalty area.

The entire Manchester City team left two central defenders to defend in the half, and all the players pressed forward!

With the experience of the first half, this time the Manchester City players' running positions were more tricky, constantly pulling Dortmund's defense line.

Especially Grealish, after completing a dragon pass, his confidence swelled sharply, and he couldn't help but want to battle with Lin Jie again!

Taking the initiative to hold the ball and facing Lin Jie's defense, Grealish was quite calm, and wanted to shake Lin Jie's defensive center of gravity by repeating the previous left-right dunking method.

But Lin Jie is not like Thomas Munier. His defensive awareness of 91 allows Lin Jie to easily see through Grealish's fake moves.

Calmly staring at the football under Grealish's feet, following Grealish's offensive pace, retreating to defend.

Waiting for the opportunity to find the loophole for Grealish to break through and complete the sliding tackle!

However, Grealish is also very smart. After seeing that his repeated feints could not get past Lin Jie's eyes, he gave up his plan to force Lin Jie.

Manchester City is not

He was the only offensive core, and there were plenty of people who could attack. There was no need to run into the wall of Lin Jie. Just bypass him!

After a bicycle feint failed again, Grealish simply pushed the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.

Passed to Bernardo Silva who came to receive the ball.

Manchester City's ability to pass the ball was very strong, and the ball was instantly passed to De Bruyne's feet on the right.

It was a familiar through pass again, coupled with the familiar Mahrez's sudden forward insertion.

However, this time Dortmund's defense line had one more person, and Hummels was able to attack and defend, blocking Mahrez's chance to shoot directly.

Mahrez, who was forced to go to the bottom line, still sent a high-quality inverted triangle pass back!

Dortmund's defensive players also staged a classic scene, with three people sliding to block the inverted triangle pass.

In the end, Lin Jie, who rushed over, completed the sliding clearance before Foden received the ball and shot.

In the 48th minute, De Bruyne made another fatal pass. Obviously, without Lin Jie on the left side, Dortmund's defense was basically seen through by De Bruyne.

Fortunately, there were many Dortmund players in the penalty area, and Mahrez's cut-in shot was blocked by the defender again.

In the 52nd minute, Manchester City's attack came again!

Mahrez on the right side passed back to find Rodri who was advancing to the top of the penalty area.

Rodri's volley flew over the crossbar and flew to the stands.

In the 55th minute, Mahrez's volley was blocked by Dortmund players again.

At this time, Ruben Dias, the central defender, suddenly moved forward and completed a high-quality long shot!

Fortunately, Cobell's attention was quite focused on this ball and successfully saved this long shot!

In the 58th minute, De Bruyne again, facing the double team of three Dortmund players at the top of the arc, easily sent a straight pass to find Grealish who cut in from the left, but was successfully intercepted by Lin Jie with a sliding tackle halfway.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Dortmund was obviously suppressed by Manchester City, and even Manchester City's central defender Ruben Dias could occasionally take a long shot.

Basically, it can be said that Manchester City was pressing Dortmund's penalty area.

However, Dortmund had Lin Jie's rescue and other defensive players worked together to tenaciously defend Manchester City's attack.

Fortunately, Manchester City currently does not have a big center forward, so there are fewer means to break through dense defense.
