The situation was not good.

Obviously, there was no need for the head coach Pochettino to remind them.

The PSG players on the field were also quite clear about the current situation.

So after Pochettino's shouting, PSG once again launched a high-intensity frontcourt pressing.

After all, Dortmund was in a defensive posture for a long time, facing the attack of PSG.

So in terms of passing and cutting, the continuity was not particularly good.

Obviously, the long-term defensive position made Dortmund's players a little confused in passing and running.

As the intensity of PSG increased, they were unable to keep the ball in the end.

And PSG, which regained the ball, still chose the previous offensive strategy.

Messi pulled Lin Jie to find an opportunity at the top of the arc, and the other three offensive players moved forward to wait for an opportunity.

This time, Messi still held the ball outside the penalty area.

Obviously, Lin Jie, who had suffered a loss this time, did not choose to defend Messi closely at the first time.

After all, the previous loss of the ball made Lin Jie see clearly that the most important thing for him was to stabilize the overall defense line.

Although Lin Jie could not jump out to defend Messi, he could call his teammates to interfere!

Maybe the defensive effect of his teammates would not be as good as Lin Jie.

But the only threatening thing Messi could do outside was long shots.

After all, if it came to organization, Lin Jie was waiting in the middle. No matter who Messi passed the ball to, Lin Jie could defend in the first place.

As for breakthroughs, the same reason applies. No matter which line he takes, Lin Jie will wait for him.

The person Lin Jie called back was Haaland, who was supposed to be the fulcrum at the front point.

In the case of body advantage, even if Haaland's defensive ability is not very good, it is still very useful to be able to interfere with Messi's vision over a large area.

And the huge body is enough to interfere with Messi's long-range shot.

So when Lin Jie changed his tactical strategy, relying on Pepe's defensive experience.

Lin Jie also showed a very good performance in this wave of defense, and did not give Paris Saint-Germain as good a chance as before.

And obviously Dortmund's players also know that this is a relatively difficult time for the team.

After enduring this wave of Paris Saint-Germain's bombardment, there will be enough time to take a good breath.

If you can't hold on, if you can't hold on, the overall situation will become quite difficult!

Fortunately, this is not the first time the two sides have played against each other. Dortmund has obviously grown very fast in the two-round game.

Did not cause too much threat to Paris Saint-Germain.

At this time, Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino on the sidelines watched the game time enter the 75th minute.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer!

After all, of the four offensive players he relied on in the frontcourt, except Bape and Neymar who were at the peak of their careers, the physical fitness of the other two, Messi and Di Maria, was always limited!

Especially Messi, as the team's transit point, he had not been able to protect Lin Jie's defense and play a sufficient role.

And after successfully breaking the deadlock, Lin Jie immediately changed his defensive strategy, causing Messi's threat of holding the ball in the middle to decline significantly.

It greatly affected the offensive rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain, and Pochettino knew that he had to change!

Pochettino's face sank slightly and he made up his mind.

He started to call the players waiting on the bench!

And this time, Pochettino's substitution was obviously a bit unexpected!

Because he replaced Di Maria with Mauro Icardi!

Leandro Paredes replaced Danilo Perreira.

There is no doubt that after such a substitution, Messi returned to his familiar right side again.

Seeing Paris Saint-Germain make substitutions, Dortmund also made substitutions.

Tonight, Dortmund's overall formation was to defend and counterattack.

And because of Lin Jie's surprise goal in the first half, Paris Saint-Germain has been on guard against Dortmund's counterattack.

This made Reus, who was originally in a hot state and was expected by fans to help Lin Jie tonight, not perform very well.

Because his physical energy was largely consumed by returning to defense.

Bellingham is relatively a small defensive loophole for Dortmund, and facing the Argentine double guns, Reus has to return to defense more times.

And on the defensive end, he invested

Strength, naturally it is not so easy to perform well on the offensive end.

Originally Marco Rose wanted to replace Reus, but he soon realized a problem.

That is, this game will not be decided in 90 minutes!

Once Dortmund adopts a comprehensive defensive posture, if they fail to defend and are equalized by Paris Saint-Germain.

It will enter overtime!

At that time, Reus's experience may still be able to fight!

So Marco Rose also chose to replace Brandt, who also consumed a lot of physical energy, instead of Reus.

The substitute was Emre Can.

Then Thomas Munier, who suffered a serious impact on the right side, was replaced by defensive player Felix Paslack.

In the first round of the game, Felix Paslack performed well in the last moments.

So Marco Rose brought him up again tonight.

In the studio on the other side of the ocean, Zhan Jun also immediately reported the substitutions of both sides.

"Alas! You can see that the adjustment of Pochettino of Paris Saint-Germain this time is a bit bold!"

"Today, Mauro Icardi, who has been sitting on the bench, was brought up!"

Obviously, Zhan Jun was a little surprised by the substitution of Paris Saint-Germain.

"Hey, indeed, I can only say that Pochettino is indeed a little anxious!"

"Basically, Paris Saint-Germain's strongest offensive firepower has been put on here, but it still failed to break through Dortmund's defense and equalize the score!"

"And this wave of Marco Rose's substitutions is also very timely, strengthening the defense is very important!"

Coach Zhang is more satisfied with Dortmund's substitutions.

"I think this wave of substitutions by Pochettino is still a good attempt!"

"Although Mauro Icardi has been on the bench for a long time, his strength is still there after all."

"At this time, I think Paris Saint-Germain may be lacking a presence in the frontcourt to grab points!"

"And after Pochettino's substitutions, Messi, who was in a deadlock, was also liberated."

"Putting Messi on the right is obviously to give full play to his ability to break through at a single point."

"And in this position, if Lin Jie goes to defend Messi, it will obviously put a lot of pressure on Dortmund's defense!"

"It can be said that the defense of Dortmund will also be a huge test next!"

Sun Jihai is a little worried about Dortmund's defense next.

"Well, what Ji Hai said makes sense, but Dortmund also made substitutions!"

"After this wave of substitutions, we can actually see that Dortmund's formation has been transformed into a 4-4-1-1 formation!"

"Of course, these four midfielders are relatively good defensive players, but Lin Jie and Bellingham still have good counterattack capabilities!"

"Obviously Marco Rose also noticed the problem, and his substitutions also strengthened Dortmund's control in the midfield!"

"I think Dortmund's defense is still relatively solid. Lin Jie's performance today is already very good. As long as it keeps up, Dortmund has a good chance of advancing!"

Zhan Jun, like Coach Zhang, is full of confidence in Dortmund or Lin Jie.

...

Back to the game, both sides have already adjusted their personnel.

Pochettino's change of formation is obviously hoping to allow Messi to pull Lin Jie away as much as possible to create space for Neymar and Mbappe.

But for Lin Jie, he did not set a flag tonight like he did in the first round.

He had to defend Messi to death and make him the lowest score in the whole game.

Tonight, Lin Jie's most important goal is to win the game and prevent Paris Saint-Germain from advancing to the next round!

This is his most important main task at present!

So when he saw Messi pulling to the side, Lin Jie was unmoved.

He directly chose to let Emre Can cooperate with Bellingham to double-team Messi, and there was also left-back Guerrero to assist.

Lin Jie stayed in the midfield honestly, taking charge of the overall situation and ready to make up for the defense at any time.

It is unlikely that Bellingham wants to defend Messi alone.

But if Emre Can, a relatively experienced veteran, is added, there is still a good chance.

After all, Neng Ge is not a good person, and there is also left-back Guerrero on the side!

Although Guerrero may need to be more wary of Ashraf Hakimi's forward insertion, occasional double-teaming is still okay.

This actually leaves Messi with not much space on the right!

Neymar, who retreated to the front midfielder position, obviously

It is more comfortable to play than in the center position.

And with Icardi as the support point in front, Neymar also faces less defensive pressure.

Although Icardi is nicknamed "Tin Man on the Forward Line",

he is not good at running and confrontation, and basically does not support the team's offense, and also affects the speed of counterattack.

But as a center, Icardi's sense of smell in front of the goal is quite sensitive!

Dortmund dare not let him run directly!

After all, Paris Saint-Germain still has Neymar and Messi, two organizers with top passing ability!

Who knows when Icardi is released, it will be uncomfortable to pass a fatal pass from some corner.

So Dortmund's defensive attention is still attracted a lot at Icardi's point.

Fortunately, after the substitution, Dortmund's overall defense line is more compact.

In addition, the defensive players of Dortmund cooperated well.

And with the contraction of the overall formation, the impact that Mbappe could cause and the impact on Messi's physical fitness.

In fact, the threat that Paris Saint-Germain's offense could cause was relatively small.

In this way, time slowly came to 82 minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Pochettino was also quite impatient on the sidelines.

After the substitution, his team still did not break the deadlock as he expected.

But he didn't have a particularly good way.

After all, he had played all the offensive cards he could play.

The only thing left was a real desperate fight and completely giving up defense.

Otherwise, for him, the overall formation could not be adjusted much.

Although Lin Jie was tired of defending at this time, Pochettino, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, had a good understanding of his physical fitness.

Pochettino knew that as long as he did this, the opportunity for Lin Jie to counterattack would increase dramatically!

Pochettino is quite clear that the more he cannot give Lin Jie a chance at this moment, the more he will score another goal if he seizes the opportunity.

Losing the ball at this critical moment is basically a death sentence for Paris Saint-Germain.

It also basically announces the end of his coaching career at Paris Saint-Germain.

So this is a tactic of making a desperate attempt at the last moment of the game.

However, Pochettino is still quite entangled in his heart.

Entangled when to use this tactic.

If it is used too early, it will be tied, and it will be useless if it is not defended in the end.

If it is used too late, according to this score, Paris Saint-Germain will also be left with a death sentence.

Just as he was entangled, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

Although Messi on the right was facing the focus of basically three defensive players.

But the defensive pressure they can bring to Messi is obviously not as strong as Lin Jie!

After recovering a certain amount of physical strength, Messi's attack was quite active!

Messi obviously wanted to be the savior of the team and prove himself!

So in this wave, Messi began to burn all his accumulated strength and launched a single-point attack on the defense line of Paris Dortmund.

Although Emre Can and Bellingham doubled up at the first time.

But the peerless duo is the peerless duo after all, and it is not so easy to intercept when they are fully exploded.

After continuous fake Buddha worship and small fried meatballs, Messi successfully killed out of the encirclement!

Continue to move forward towards Dortmund's penalty area!

Lin Jie, who was ready to respond at any time in the middle, naturally would not let Messi just rush into the penalty area along the Messi corridor he was most familiar with.

He stepped forward at the first time to interfere with Messi's continued progress.

Messi looked at Lin Jie who was rushing towards him, and his heart was quite entangled.

Lin Jie's words before had always bothered him, and this wave was just his perfect opportunity!

As long as he passes Lin Jie in this wave of attack, it basically means that he has a great chance of scoring!

If he scores, the significance of this goal is huge for Messi!

First, he not only broke the previous record of 0 successful breakthroughs against Lin Jie.

Second, he helped the team equalize the score at the last moment, and this goal is a complete reflection of his personal ability!

He will become the real savior of Paris Saint-Germain!

Third, he can once again prove to the world that he is still the peerless pride!

But the terrifying defensive pressure of Lin Jie before is still vivid, which makes Messi quite entangled.

Of course, if Messi knew that Lin Jie no longer had the terrifying defensive ability before, then Messi would definitely not be so entangled.

Because Lin Jie used Pepe

The time to wear the experience card has come!

It can be said that Messi's final choice is likely to affect the final direction of the entire game!
