I am eighteen, I am the living ancestor, the whole village comes to bow down to me

After Lin Jie passed the half-court with the ball, he saw AC Milan set up the bus again, obviously wanting to carry out the counterattack tactics to the end.

Seeing this situation, Lin Jie shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

"Hey! Since you play like this, don't blame us for being shameless!"

Then Lin Jie took the initiative to signal his teammates to slow down and took the initiative to pass the ball with his own central defender near the center line.

After all, they only need to maintain a draw to qualify, and now they are still leading by one goal, so there is no need to panic!

Dortmund players are also quite clear about AC Milan's counterattack style, or purpose, to consume the physical energy of Dortmund players.

Since they were unwilling to come out, there was no need for them to waste their energy, bombard the opponent, and strive for a bigger lead.

After all, they already had a one-goal lead.

So under Lin Jie's command, they decisively began to pass the ball back in the backcourt to slowly recover their energy.

Anyway, passing the ball back in the backcourt does not require energy consumption.

The plan that AC Milan players expected to consume the energy of Dortmund players was directly declared a failure!

AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli saw that Dortmund would play so utilitarian!

After leading by one goal, they started passing the ball back in the backcourt. You know, it's only the 30th minute of the first half!

This is still at Dortmund's home stadium, the Westfalen Stadium!

In an instant, Stefano Pioli, who was not panicking at all, froze.

Then he walked to the sidelines with a sullen face and pushed his hands forward frantically, signaling his players to come out and press Dortmund with high pressure.

In this case, if Dortmund quietly passed the ball to the halftime break in the backcourt, it would not consume Dortmund's physical energy at all!

And they lost a ball in vain!

In this way, Stefano Pioli's original plan was shattered, and both sides were forced to enter the high-pressure pressing phase.

However, AC Milan started with a dead-defending tactic, although it caused some turmoil to Dortmund after changing the tactics.

But in general, Dortmund had just experienced a bloody battle with Bayern, and this situation was already familiar, and they still controlled the situation steadily.

Because AC Milan started to press high, there would definitely be some loopholes in the defensive space behind them.

In front of Lin Jie, these loopholes would have nowhere to hide!

The 38th minute of the game!

The situation on the field changed again!

The previous loss of the ball still had a certain impact on the mentality of AC Milan players.

In addition, Dortmund was so shameless in their home court that they started to pass the ball back in the backcourt, which made them quite angry!

So when they rushed, they were emotional, and they didn't take their defense into consideration. They just wanted to grab the ball quickly, and then score a goal to let that damn Dortmund see how powerful AC Milan was!

Therefore, during this period, AC Milan's players rushed too fiercely!

Originally, the pressing in the first few minutes still took into account the defense, but as time passed, AC Milan players who had failed to press many times became more and more impatient.

This time, the space leaked behind them was even greater!

Lin Jie also seized the opportunity instantly, and made a beautiful straight pass, easily passing through the AC Milan players who saw Lin Jie's forward insertion and began to double-team!

Accurately found Reus who had already moved forward on the left!

The old captain of Dortmund once again showed his dribbling skills that were still at the end of his peak!

The continuous rhythm changes shook AC Milan's right back David Calabria, and then he cut inside!

Facing the central defender Simon Kjaer who came to block, he continued to change the rhythm, and then connected and changed direction quickly after a bicycle!

The continuous rhythm changes made the Danish central defender Simon Kjaer a little difficult to resist. Seeing that Reus was about to pass him and finish the shot, he also chose to stretch out his right foot to trip Reus!

"Beep!!!"

Immediately, the referee's whistle sounded behind Reus.

Then the referee's right index finger was seen pointing directly to the penalty spot!

This

It was an undisputed penalty!

Although AC Milan players gathered around to explain as usual, this happened under the eyes of the referee, so there was no reversal.

What is the most tense moment for a man?

The answer is when the referee points his index finger to the penalty spot!

At this time, Mike Maignan, the goalkeeper of AC Milan, had a deep understanding!

This penalty is very critical for AC Milan!

If this penalty is scored again, then AC Milan will be 2 goals behind in the first half!

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to AC Milan, who must win this game to qualify!

Their chances of qualifying for the Champions League group stage will become very slim!

He knew that he had to help the team save this penalty, otherwise they would most likely have to explain this game here.

AC Milan stepped onto the Champions League stage again after many years, and was directly eliminated in the group stage!

This is unacceptable to them who are shouldering the responsibility of reviving Milan!

So Mike Maignan clapped his hands twice, yelled to encourage himself, and then prepared to save the penalty.

Dortmund also had a brief discussion about the penalty taker.

As the current first penalty taker in the team, Haaland is undoubtedly the first choice for the penalty.

But tonight Haaland knew that his performance was not very good, so he also had the idea of ​​giving the penalty to Reus.

But he was rejected by the captain Reus.

As the old captain, Reus naturally saw that Haaland was not in the right state, and decisively chose to refuse Haaland's concession.

This penalty can be used to help Haaland get back to his state. If he scores, it will help Haaland get back to his original state faster.

At this time, Lin Jie also came over, and after hearing the two people's push and pull, he also took the initiative to persuade Haaland to take the penalty.

After hearing the encouragement of his teammates, Haaland came to the penalty spot with a grateful look and holding the football.

He can't miss this ball, he can't let his brothers down!

At this moment, goalkeeper Mike Maignan in front of the goal and Haaland in front of the penalty spot.

Both men are carrying their own pressure and preparing for a real man's 1v1 battle!
