The previous goal was lost, but the reason was more because Dortmund's overall defense was wary of Paris Saint-Germain's left side.

Although Di Maria was quite active on the right side of Paris Saint-Germain after coming on as a substitute.

This was in stark contrast to the lifeless right side of Paris Saint-Germain when Messi was there.

But after all, the left side with Mbappe is the main attack point of Paris Saint-Germain.

The continuous cooperation between Mbappe, Neymar, Mendes and Verratti in a small range is still quite threatening!

Compared with Di Maria, who was the only one on the right side, Dortmund's defensive focus was naturally on the left side.

In addition, although Messi performed poorly, his threat was still there.

This made Lin Jie dare not retreat too deep into the defense line, which led to Emre Can's need to fill in the position appropriately.

This gave Di Maria the opportunity to seize the defensive gap, play a perfect match, and seize the opportunity to attack.

This is also the most common situation in the confrontation between strong teams!

It is very likely that a player of a certain team gave the opponent a chance by carelessness.

The opponent can seize the opportunity and kill with one blow!

For example, the French vs. Belgium not long ago!

It may be that Vertonghen turned half a beat slower and gave Randall Kolo Muani the opportunity to shoot.

Of course, this does not rule out a certain amount of luck, but if Vertonghen could be half a beat faster at the time.

Maybe Randall Kolo Muani would have lost the space to shoot!

There would be no loss of the ball.

So this loss of the ball also taught Dortmund's players another good lesson.

Now, after losing a goal, Dortmund obviously dared not underestimate the right side with Di Maria.

So when Dortmund's defense paid attention to Di Maria again, Di Maria on the right side was not relaxed.

In addition, Lin Jie selectively let Messi retreat to his own defense line, and Dortmund's defense line was immediately stabilized.

This made the Paris Saint-Germain players who did not open up the situation on the left and opened up the situation on the right side hit a wall.

The Dortmund defense line that was stabilized again was not so easy to be broken by Di Maria.

And with the variable point of Di Maria on the right side also being pinched, Paris Saint-Germain's two-way takeoff was also in a stalemate.

After all, facing Dortmund, who played at home and also played a 5-4-1 formation.

Once the two sides of Paris Saint-Germain rushed forward, a midfielder and a full-back would fill in!

Dortmund's players have improved their defensive enthusiasm again!

After all, the game has entered the last 10 minutes of regular time!

Paris Saint-Germain's players want to equalize and strengthen their offense.

But Dortmund's players also don't want to be equalized by their opponents at home, so they naturally strengthen their defensive strength.

However, Paris Saint-Germain's goal came a little late after all.

The time left for them plus the stoppage time is only a dozen minutes at most.

In terms of the players' mentality, Paris Saint-Germain's players are naturally more anxious than Dortmund's players.

As the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Mauricio Pochettino on the sidelines did not dare to make any personnel adjustments.

After all, there is not much room left for the three uncles in the frontcourt and Di Maria who just came on to save his life.

Both full-backs are offensive full-backs.

Both midfielders are currently the strongest two in Paris Saint-Germain.

Verratti and Pereira, one tall and one short, one attack and one defense, can be said to be a very good match.

And after all, the Champions League quarter-finals are not a one-round elimination system, but a two-round system!

For Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino, he can't let go of his burden and choose to attack with all his strength.

He needs to consider the second round of the game!

If all the offensive players are replaced at that time, what if Lin Jie from Dortmund seizes the opportunity to counterattack again.

At that time, we still need to face the situation of falling behind by two goals in the second round!

So Mauricio Pochettino expects the players on the field to perform on their own.

Try to equalize the score at the last moment of this game.

If not

Mauricio Pochettino can accept an equalizer.

After all, the current international score is 2:1, and they will return to their home stadium, the Parc des Princes.

With only one goal behind, Mauricio Pochettino is still very confident that he can complete the reversal at home.

Of course, if the star players of Paris Saint-Germain are on the field, such as Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria and Messi.

It would be better if they could rely on their superstars' strong personal abilities to help the team equalize the opponent in the end!

Especially Messi, who performed the worst tonight!

In Mauricio Pochettino's heart, he always believed that Messi's performance could not always be so bad!

Especially now that Lin Jie has retreated deep into Dortmund's defense.

There is not much interference for Messi who holds the ball in the midfield.

In Mauricio Pochettino's view, it is Messi who should stand up!

However, the players of Paris Saint-Germain on the field are still persistently looking for a breakthrough on the wing.

So Mauricio Pochettino on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted decisively on the sidelines.

Command your teammates to try other tactics.

With the special instructions of the head coach on the sidelines, the players on the field of Paris Saint-Germain returned the ball to Messi's feet.

But it is obvious that Lin Jie's defense against Messi before has also left Messi with a psychological shadow.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is not much time left in the game, but Messi knows very well that his performance so far is not just a word that can be summarized.

If the game ends like this, there is no doubt that Lin Jie's provocation before the game will become a reality!

He Messi will be defended by a 17-year-old boy to become the worst player in the game!

So when he saw Lin Jie approaching him quickly, Messi did not try to break through, but chose to pass the ball at the first time!

He wanted to complete the goal that he had not completed in the previous half, and complete the goal by cooperating with his teammates!

At this time, because of Dortmund's bus defense, the players of Paris Saint-Germain also knew that it was not so easy to penetrate the wing.

It has entered the final moments of the game!

Basically, it depends on the personal ability of the stars.

Therefore, the players of Paris Saint-Germain are also willing to let Messi, one of the two great players and the player with the most Golden Balls in the team, try again.
