Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

The game ended in the 60th minute.

Although Manchester City had the upper hand on the field, they shot a total of 5 times in the first 15 minutes of the second half, with an average of one shot every 3 minutes.

But they were all defended tenaciously by Dortmund.

Obviously, facing Dortmund's dense defense, Manchester City lacked a qualified siege weapon.

Dortmund withstood Manchester City's bombardment at the beginning of the second half, and Dortmund's morale was obviously rising slowly!

Although they were always suppressed, the continuous defense also made Dortmund players quite excited.

As long as they can hold on, they will have a chance to lead the score again with Lin Jie's terrifying long pass!

After 15 minutes of bombardment, Manchester City's players have also reached a bottleneck in terms of physical fitness and need some time to relax.

This makes Manchester City's frontcourt no longer as high-intensity as at the beginning of the second half.

The Dortmund players on the court can clearly feel that Manchester City's offense is gradually weakening.

This also makes the tense nerves of Dortmund's players gradually relax.

This is the most dangerous time for Dortmund!

You must know that Manchester City is not other teams. It is a team that can monopolize the highly competitive Premier League champion!

Manchester City's players are also familiar with this situation.

It's like fishing. When the fish is hooked and wrestles with you, you have to release the line appropriately, and you can't go head-to-head with the fish directly.

And now is the time for Manchester City to release the line!

But before Lin Jie reminded his teammates to pay attention, Grealish, who had the ball over there, had already seized the opportunity.

Grealish seized the moment when Thomas Meunier was not paying attention and stepped forward with the outside of his left foot.

He used a sudden start to shake off Thomas Meunier's defense and rushed to the bottom line of Dortmund's penalty area.

As a central defender, Akanji was obviously given a special treatment by head coach Marco Rose because of his previous performance. This time he did not let down the chain.

With his concentration, he immediately chose to block Grealish's route to continue to break through the deep penalty area.

Instead, he wanted to drive Grealish to the bottom line.

But Grealish is not a young man. He skillfully uses his skills and easily shakes Akanji's defensive center of gravity.

After a beautiful crotch pass, he continued to kill towards Dortmund's penalty area.

Akanji, who was half a beat slow to react, waited until the ball rolled over his crotch before he reacted and retracted his legs.

Then he turned his head to look at Grealish who passed by him.

At this time, he did not dare to pull Grealish with his hands, after all, this was in Dortmund's penalty area.

At this time, Akanji suddenly thought of something in his mind.

"Hmm! This ball, this breakthrough in defense, why does it feel a little familiar!"

"Is it Lin Jie who will come to clean up his mess next?"

As Akanji looked back, it turned out that the boy in the yellow and black No. 7 jersey appeared in the position where he should be.

He cleared the ball out of the baseline before Grealish.

Akanji also turned around and touched Lin Jie's head as if he had survived a disaster.

"Great job! Thanks, Lin!"

And Lin Jie clapped his hands with a serious expression.

"Hey! Guys, focus! The game is only in the 61st minute! It's far from over!"

"This is our home court! Cheer up!"

Lin Jie's words also made the originally relaxed Dortmund people start to tense up again.

Manchester City's corner kick opportunity.

Since Manchester City does lack a qualified center forward, the corner kicks are mostly tactical.

Grealish, who received the ball, faced Thomas Meunier again.

This time, Thomas Meunier's attention was also quite focused, and there was not much space for Grealish near the baseline.

Grealish, who did not find an opportunity, chose to pass the ball back to B 席 who came to the top of the arc to respond.

B 席, who received the ball, faced Lin Jie's scramble at the first time.

Fortunately, B 席 is also experienced, and he avoided Lin Jie's scramble with a dunk, a flick and a pass.

And this pass also came to Rodri who was waiting at the top of the penalty area.

Seeing his team pressing Dortmund

De played for 15 minutes without scoring a goal, looking at the Dortmund players crowded in the penalty area.

As Rodri, who occasionally came in to shoot, he chose a long shot again!

Of course, this last long shot also added a point to Manchester City's post-match shooting data.

Thanks to Lin Jie's reminder, Dortmund's defense, which had originally been slack and had space, became more stable again.

With the cheering of the home fans, Dortmund's defense became more stable.

And after getting familiar with Manchester City's offensive routine, Bellingham on the Dortmund side had a good advance.

Although it was finally destroyed by Kyle Walker who ran back to defend.

But this was also the first time Dortmund fought back since the second half.

As the game progressed, the two sides consumed their physical energy, and the score remained at 2:2.

However, in the 78th minute of the game, the situation suddenly changed!

De Bruyne, far outside the penalty area, held the ball and looked for opportunities.

Bellingham, who was defending him, thought that De Bruyne would still use his terrifying vision to send a fatal pass like before, and did not choose to rush to defend.

Instead, he stood at the top of the penalty area to intercept De Bruyne's pass, or cooperate with the central defender to intercept the Manchester City player who received the ball.

This gave De Bruyne a chance to perform!

You know, De Bruyne is not only good at passing the ball!

He can also shoot from a distance!

Seeing that there were no Dortmund defenders around him, De Bruyne's mouth corners slightly raised, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the position of Dortmund's Cober.

Seeing that Cober's position was closer to the near corner, De Bruyne also made up his mind immediately.

He did not choose to run up, but directly drew his bow and arrow on the spot, and the instep of his right foot hit the bottom of the football hard!

De Bruyne's shot obviously not only exceeded Bellingham's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of many defensive players in Dortmund's penalty area.

Their positions were to prevent the penetration of Manchester City players, and their positions just left a line for the ball to shoot!

As a goalkeeper, Kerber's eyes were naturally fixed on the position of the ball, and his position was closer to the near corner of the ball.

Even if Kerber saw De Bruyne's shot through the defenders and chose to move at the first time, it was already a moment too late!

In the end, Kerber's fingertips were two fingers away from the ball, and he could only watch the ball go into his own goal.

GOOOOOOAL! ! !

2:3!

Dortmund, playing at home, fell behind!
