This is a focus battle on whether to enter the knockout round. In the first round of the game, Dortmund lost 2 to 4 away to AC Milan, but despite losing the game, because the Hornets got two away goals, so as long as they can surpass Milan by two goals in today's game, they can advance.

"Judging from today's Dortmund team's starting lineup, it is consistent with the starting lineup of the first round - goalkeeper: No. 1 Roman Weidenfeller; defender: No. 4 Nevin Subotic, No. 15 Tes Hummel S, No. 26 Piszczek, No. 29 Marcel Schmelzer; Midfielder: No. 5 Sebastian Kyle, No. 8 Gama, No. 16 Blaszikowski, No. 22 Sven Bender; forwards: No. 9 Robert Lewandowski, No. 19 Kevin Grosscruz."

Judging from the formation, Milan is playing 4312..."

"The game is about to start..."

"Hi everyone, I'm Ma Kai, the host of Dortmund. Today I will broadcast the second round of the Champions League 1/8 final for you..."

As the game whistle sounded, the players on both sides did not conduct any testing, and directly started hand-to-hand combat.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Gama looked up at Milan's half, dribbling the ball from the familiar center and advancing.

Gama first cooperated with his teammate Blaszikowski to pass and catch the ball in the middle, and then dribbled the ball outside with a feint and went to the side.

Milan, who did not dare to be careless, was not to be outdone. Their defense was quite tight. Gama soon discovered that with his outside penetration and inside cut, the Milanese were ready for his breakthrough.

Milan coach Allegri put his hands in his pockets and looked at the field with a serious face, but because of his embarrassing face, it made people feel that he seemed very worried.

For Dortmund's No. [-], they had already conducted a comprehensive analysis before the first round. Otherwise, why did they strictly control the midfield in the last game, just to prevent the No. [-] from kicking up, even if that was the case, it would still be called The No. [-] of the Hornets broke through them to get back two goals and scored an away goal, which is quite dangerous.

Therefore, before the start of the second round, Allegri has repeatedly emphasized to the players that the No. [-] Gama must be guarded.

In the 4th minute of the first half, Van Bommel shoveled Gama directly from behind. The referee Komina from Slovenia immediately gave Van Bommel the first yellow card of the game. .

In this way, if AC Milan advances to the next round of the Champions League knockout round after this game, Van Bommel will be automatically suspended for one game due to accumulated yellow cards in the next Champions League game.

Nevertheless, Van Bommel didn't care, knowing that he was just fulfilling the task given to them by the coach before the game, limiting the attack of Dortmund's midfield eight Gama.

Gama, who was pulled up by his teammates, looked at his calf. Although Van Bommel fouled him behind him and shoveled someone, he did not use lethal means but just kicked his calf and made him fall to the ground. Therefore, Gama He didn't say anything, anyway, the referee had already awarded a yellow card and a set kick in the frontcourt. Although it was far from the goal, it was still a chance!

So Gama took a deep breath and walked behind the football.

Tactical coordination of positioning balls.

The Dortmund players who noticed Gama's gesture immediately dispersed and prepared to cooperate with Gama's serve.

Gama raised his right leg, and a high-altitude arc ball was sent directly to the penalty area in the middle of the penalty area. Hummels rushed over and jumped high with a header to hit the goal.

It's a pity that his header was kicked out of the baseline by Milan defender Mex.

In the 7th minute of the game, Dortmund won a left corner kick.

Gama ran over and stood at the corner flag ready to serve.

In front of the Milan goal, the players from both sides pushed and shoved each other, and the referee repeatedly gave verbal warnings to the players of both sides, which barely settled the players' scramble. squeezed together.

Gama drove the corner kick to the middle, and the Milan players in the crowd missed Dortmund's Svenbender. The German youth scored with an easy header from the small penalty area line.

1 to 0, Dortmund scored a goal in the 8th minute of the first half, and now the score between the two sides has become 4 to 3.

And this is also Svenbender's first goal in the UEFA Champions League knockout round in his career.

The excited Svend ran all over the field and then rushed over to hug Jiama, jumped on his back and wrapped his legs around Jiama's waist.

"Xiko, you are amazing~~~"

He was still yelling like this, completely lacking the calmness he usually pretended to be—although he had never been calm before.

Jia Ma grinned: Sven the bastard, will I be cursed by Russ!

Klopp on the sidelines waved his fists and made a movement of swinging up and down, "Nice job!"

The cheers in the Westfalenstadion vibrated, some excited fans even set off fireworks, and suddenly the stands were filled with thick fog. Of course, the crazy jumping of the beautiful girls and the excited shirtless men beside them were indispensable. In comparison, Jia Ma felt that it was more powerful to look at the bikinis of the beauties.

Under the intervention of the referee, the Dortmund players regained their composure and ran back to their positions, waiting for the kick-off.

The kick-off was restarted in the middle circle, Milan's Van Bommel handed the ball to his teammate, and then rushed forward.

Dortmund's defense, which had learned the lessons of the previous game, was quite tight this time, and Piszczek's sliding tackle kicked the ball to Kyle.

Kyle didn't dare to hesitate and immediately made a long pass, finding his own midfielder Gama.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Gama took the ball from the center, dribbled the ball to the right, and passed it diagonally. Lewandowski got rid of Abarth and shot with his foot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area. Milan goalkeeper Abarth Biati jumped up and fought hard to save the ball and hit the ball, and then Gross Cruz shot a long-range football from the outside and missed the post after hitting the ground.

Although the goal failed to score, there was still cheering applause in the stadium.

Compared with the chaos and caution in the first round, today Dortmund played impressively from the very beginning, whether it is tactics or execution, they are quite brilliant, and in terms of momentum, they are not inferior to their opponents at all.

"Great work, lads."

The host Ma Kai shouted excitedly in front of the microphone.

The fans of the Yellow and Black Legion also started their singing.

At this time, the Milan players were in possession of the ball, and Van Bommel tripped over Piszczek's upturned feet when he was about to pass the ball.

The referee ran over, and although Piszczek repeatedly told the referee that he did not intend to foul, the referee still raised a yellow card to him.

Gama frowned slightly, walked over and whispered to Piszczek who was pulled away by captain Kyle, "Be careful, don't take any more cards."

Pischek nodded, "I know."

After pleading with the referee—it's useless but still necessary—Kyle patted Pischek, "Don't be fooled by the other party."

As the defender who eats cards like drinking water in the Hornet Corps, Piszczek snorted, "Got it."

Jia Ma ran back to his prevention and control area worried, alas~

Five minutes later, Schmelzer tripped his opponent while defending 5-on-1 with Shalawi in the backcourt. He was penalized for a foul and also received a yellow card.

Not only that, Milan also got a free kick in front of the penalty area.

"Too dangerous!"

Mackay yelled out.

On the court, Gama frowned tightly.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, the game had only started 15 minutes, and three yellow cards had already appeared on the field.

One for Milan and two for Dortmund.

It seems that there is no problem, but such a card giving rate...

Gama can't remember how many yellow cards the team's main force got in the last game, but if this continues, even if they advance, it is very likely that someone in the defense will not be able to play.

Turning his head to look at the coach on the sidelines, Gama found that coach Klopp did not give instructions on this, but waved his hand to signal them to continue attacking.

Milan team free throw.

Robinho took the free kick. He kicked a ground ball from the right edge of the penalty area. Fortunately, Schmelzer made up for his free kick and made a direct clearance before kicking a long pass.

Hummels got the ball, and after observing a teammate's position, he knocked the ball across to captain Kyle.

Kyle collided with Milan's Van Bommel while taking the ball. The football flew out and Gross Cruz took the first step and immediately took a long shot.

However, this shot was rushed out by Milan goalkeeper Abbiati and immediately passed it to his teammate Nocerino near the midfield.

Nocerino played the ball quickly and kicked the ball to Shalawi. The teenager Shalawi did not dare to be careless, and gave the ball to Ibrahimovic after a feint.

Ibrahimovic made two fake moves in front of Dortmund's penalty area and then split the ball to the other side. Emmanuelsen rushed up and shot with his legs.

"Subotic!!!!"

The series of actions of you attacking me, defending me and blocking me from both sides made the fans dare not breathe. Only at this time, Milan's attack was cut off halfway by Subotic, which ended this fast confrontation. attack.

Only at this time did the fans dare to shout loudly.

The host Ma Kai shouted Subotic's name loudly, and the Bumblebee fans in the audience echoed in unison.

Hearing the loud shouts in the audience, Subotic raised his hands and clapped his hands to thank the fans.

Keep playing.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Dortmund almost expanded the score again. Emmanuel Sen made a mistake when passing the ball back from his backcourt and passed the ball to Blaszykowski. The pass surprised Blaszikowski, and his reaction was half a beat slow. As a result, Milan's Thiago Silva flew over and fell to the ground with a shovel, and the ball was swept away by Abbiati. Hold on.

The Milan fans who came with the team exclaimed thankfully. Abbiati, who was hugging the ball, was really frightened. He lay on the ground for several seconds before slowly getting up.

Emmanuel Sen was also frightened into a cold sweat, until now he was relieved to apologize to his teammates again and again.

"It's a pity~~"

Ma Kai's sigh was broadcast throughout the audience by the live radio, in exchange for loud laughter from the fans.

Next, after Milan's pass was intercepted by Sven, he and Gama formed a 2-on-1. Gama passed the ball back to Lewandovs, and when the Polish went straight to the penalty area, Gros Cruz's The referee violated the goalkeeper for his slippery tackle. Although no penalty was awarded, Dortmund got another topaz card.

At this time, Klopp's face on the sidelines became serious. After discussing with the assistants beside him, he gestured to the field.

After receiving the coach's instructions, Gama nodded, and looked at the referee Comina in front of him.

Although the judgment habits of the members of the referee team were discussed before the game, the referee from Slovenia played too many cards in this game.

Now do the math, excluding verbal warnings, the ratio of yellow cards for both sides is one for Milan and three for Dortmund.

If this continues, after the physical fitness of the players on both sides declines in the second half, it will be difficult for the side with more yellow cards to play.

Gama received a pass from his teammates, slowed down, and greeted his teammates-control the rhythm, slow down quickly, and stabilize the defense.
