The time has come to 3:50 a.m. on the 25th, Xia Guo time!
The live broadcast room of Goose Factory Sports has also started to warm up. Although it is early in the morning on a weekday, the number of online viewers has exceeded 2 million!
Obviously, everyone is looking forward to this key matchup in the death group!
"Okay! Dear audience friends, welcome to watch the fifth round of the 21/22 Champions League Group C!"
"Manchester City will face Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium!"
"I am your old friend Zhan Jun! This game is still brought to you by me, Coach Zhang and Sun Jihai!"
It is still Zhan Jun's classic opening remarks.
"Hey, this game is worth watching! Both teams attach great importance to this game. As long as they win this game, the next qualifying situation will be in their own hands!"
"Besides, there is still a revenge battle for Manchester City. I believe Guardiola will definitely show his best skills tonight!"
Coach Zhang is also looking forward to this game.
"That's right! This game is very crucial for both sides. Although Dortmund currently has a certain advantage in points, we must not take it lightly!"
"You must know that Manchester City and AC are not weak teams! We cannot rule out the possibility of being eliminated in the group stage after two consecutive defeats with an absolute advantage!"
"I hope Dortmund players will not underestimate the enemy like they did before against RB Leipzig!"
"You must know that Manchester City is not RB Leipzig. Once you fall behind by a large score, it is not so easy to catch up in their home court!"
Obviously, as a legendary player of Manchester City, Sun Jihai is still very clear about the foundation of the current Manchester City team, and he also gave his own warnings before the game.
"Yes, what Ji Hai said makes sense. Although Dortmund is in high spirits, we must not take it lightly!"
Zhan Jun on the side also said with a little seriousness.
"Okay, then let's focus on the starting lineups of both teams!"
"First of all, Manchester City's starting lineup! There is not much change in the starting lineup compared to the first game against Dortmund!"
"Obviously Guardiola is still very confident in his players!"
"Manchester City still used the familiar 4-3-3 formation in this game!"
"The goalkeeper position is the second goalkeeper of the national team from Brazil, Ederson!"
"The four players in the backcourt are right back Kyle Walker, center back Emilic Larport, Ruben Dia ”
“In the midfield, it is Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri Hernandez, and Ilkay Gundogan!”
“In the midfield, Guardiola still made adjustments, replacing Ilkay Gundogan with stronger defensive ability. Obviously, this adjustment is aimed at Lin Jie!”
“In the forward line, it is still the previous starting three, Jack Grealish, Prince Phil Foden, and Riyad Mahrez on the right!”
“Although Gabriel Jesus had a bad shot at the last moment of the last game, Wrong shot, but Guardiola still has more faith in the starting trident that performed equally well in the last game! "
"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineup sent by Marco Rose of Dortmund!"
"It is still the most commonly used 4-3-3 lineup recently!"
"The four defenders are Rafael Guerrero, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, and Thomas Meunier!"
"The three midfielders are Lin Jie, Jude Bellingham, and Axel Witsel!"
"I believe that Lin Jie's position is still familiar this time The all-around midfielder position!"
"Next is the striker position, Marco Reus is still at the left winger position!"
"The center forward and right winger are still the familiar Erling Brandt Haaland and Julian Brandt"
"Dortmund's starting lineup has been well-coordinated. Compared with the 4-2-3-1 at the beginning of the season, the 4-3-3 can better bring out Lin Jie's full ability!"
After Zhan Jun introduced the starting lineups of both sides, the players of both sides also stood in position on the court and started a short opening ceremony before the game.
Although Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is not a famous devil's home, the Manchester City fans at home still showed Dortmund players from
Pressure at home!
Manchester City fans all held up their respective blue and white flags, turning the home field into a sea of blue and white.
However, it was obviously not comparable to the epic Tifo in Westfalen, and it did not bring much psychological pressure to Dortmund's players.
With the referee's whistle!
The much-anticipated fifth round of the Champions League group stage officially kicked off!
It was Dortmund who kicked off away!
Dortmund's players were quite clear about the importance of this game!
So at the beginning of the game, Dortmund's players were all tense and did not make the same mistake as in the previous game with RB Leipzig.
Both sides had several tentative confrontations in the first few minutes.
Although the two teams had played against each other before, that game was almost two months ago.
However, with the continuous contact between the two sides, the confrontation between the players gradually became familiar.
The 8th minute of the game!
Lin Jie, who was originally looking for a passing opportunity in the center circle, suddenly felt the Manchester City team's double team!
Ilkay Gundogan suddenly stepped forward, and with Kevin De Bruyne who quickly rushed out from the side, he instantly completed the double team on Lin Jie!
And behind Lin Jie, Jack Grealish, who was originally just hanging on the defense, suddenly stepped forward to confront Lin Jie physically!
This wave of double teams came quite suddenly, and Lin Jie had no time to react at all!
All the passing routes were strangled by Manchester City's players. Obviously, Manchester City had practiced this sudden double team in advance!
Looking at the situation of the three-person double team, Lin Jie also frowned slightly. Although he was a little flustered when facing the three-person double team suddenly, Lin Jie's feet were not messy!
Lin Jie's feet moved quickly, constantly pulling, stepping, pushing, and flexibly avoiding the three people's feet that stretched out to steal!
In Lin Jie's mind, the reminder of the [Agile Dribbling] skill triggering also kept coming.
In this small space, Lin Jie relied on his extremely agile dribbling skills to avoid losing the ball in the first place!
Instead, he was able to control the situation and finally caused Jack Grealish to foul behind him!
Manchester City's original plan to seize this opportunity to launch an unexpected counterattack was completely ruined!
