The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

After the halftime break, the players from both teams returned to the Westfalenstadion. The atmosphere in the stadium was like a volcano about to erupt. The enthusiastic Dortmund fans shouted louder and louder, and the sound seemed to lift the roof of the entire stadium. They waved yellow and black flags, painted the team's logo on their faces, and their eyes flashed with the desire for victory.

Manchester United's players felt the strong home atmosphere, but they also had their own determination. Goalkeeper David De Gea had a sharp look in his eyes. He patted his gloves as if to cheer himself up and prepare for Dortmund's more fierce attack.

At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund launched a tidal offensive. Jaden Malik Sancho was like a smart cheetah, constantly attacking Manchester United's defense on the wing. His speed was so fast that Ashraf Hakimi, who was responsible for defending him, felt a little tired. Jaden Malik Sancho tried to break through again and again. He was skilled at his feet and made several feints in a row, which made Hakimi lose his balance.

In the middle, Marco Reus still performed well. He was very flexible in his movement and always found opportunities in the gaps between Manchester United's defenders. The cooperation between Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer became more and more tacit. They instantly tore through Manchester United's defense through several one-touch passes. Paco Alcacer took advantage of the situation and shot the ball, which flew towards the goal like a cannonball. However, David De Gea reacted extremely quickly. He pounced in the direction of the ball like lightning, hugged the ball tightly in his arms, and resolved the crisis.

Manchester United was not to be outdone. Rodrigo Hernandez in the midfield played the role of a stabilizing force. He was like a copper wall and iron wall when defending, actively intercepting Dortmund's passes. When Dortmund players tried to penetrate from the middle, Rodrigo Hernandez was always able to accurately predict the ball's route and cut it off in advance. In the attack, he was also able to insert himself in time to provide support for the forward line.

Forward Romelu Lukaku used his strong body to engage in a fierce confrontation with the opponent's defender in Dortmund's penalty area. He used his body to lean on Manuel Akanji, trying to create space for himself to shoot. Although Manuel Akanji's defense was very tenacious, Romelu Lukaku did not give up easily. He kept trying to turn and shoot, creating a lot of pressure on Dortmund's defense.

The home atmosphere of the Westfalen Stadium became more crazy as the game progressed. Whenever Dortmund players launched an attack, the fans would cheer deafeningly. That sound seemed to have a kind of magic that could inspire Dortmund players to attack more bravely. And when Manchester United players were in control of the ball, the fans would boo loudly, trying to disrupt their rhythm.

Dortmund's defensive midfielder Axel Witsel performed very well in defense. He covered a large area and was able to return to defense in time. When Manchester United's Dani Olmo tried to organize an attack in the midfield, Axel Witsel was always able to quickly stick to him and press him, forcing Dani Olmo to make a pass error.

In an attack, Manchester United's Cody Gakpo showed his speed advantage. After receiving the ball on the wing, he quickly started and used his speed to break through Marius Wolf's defense. Then he chose to cut inside, dribbled past a defender, and shot. The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew to the far corner of the goal. But Roman Birki's position was very good, and he flew to save the ball from the bottom line.

In the 65th minute of the game, the atmosphere in the Westfalenstadion was extremely tense. Manchester United's Edinson Cavani was looking for opportunities in the Dortmund penalty area like a cheetah.

Edinson Cavani successfully got rid of a defensive player with his keen sense of smell and flexible running. Just as he was about to shoot, Nico Schulz of Dortmund rushed over from the side. Nico Schulz's movements seemed a little flustered, and his legs directly tripped Edinson Cavani.

The referee's whistle sounded sharply immediately, and the whole stadium was silent for a moment, and then the Manchester United fans made a deafening shout, thinking that this was an undisputed penalty. The referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation and awarded Manchester United a precious penalty opportunity.

The players of Manchester United gathered together and encouraged each other, while Edinson Cavani stood in front of the penalty spot with a firm look in his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervous mood. Dortmund's goalkeeperRoman Birki kept jumping on the goal line, waving his arms, trying to distract Cavani.

The Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion booed loudly, trying to put pressure on Edinson Cavani. But Edinson Cavani seemed not to hear these voices, and the only thing in his mind was the penalty kick that was about to be kicked.

Edinson Cavani stood in front of the penalty spot, his eyes fixed on the blind spot of the goal. He took a deep breath, started to run up, kicked, and the ball shot towards the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Roman Birki stared at the flight trajectory of the ball like a hungry cheetah. At the moment Edinson Cavani touched the ball, he reacted quickly and flew to the right. His fingertips touched the ball, changing the direction of the ball's flight, and the ball rubbed the post and bounced out of the bottom line.

The penalty was saved! The Westfalenstadion erupted in a huge cheer, and the fans of Dortmund celebrated wildly. Edinson Cavani froze in his place, holding his head with both hands in annoyance. He pulled his hair hard, and his face was full of disbelief. He stared at the goal with his eyes full of self-blame, and muttered to himself, regretting his mistake.

Rodrigo Hernandez, who was closest, sighed slightly. He walked up and patted Edinson Cavani on the shoulder, trying to comfort the frustrated striker, saying something like "It's okay, there's still a chance."

Captain David De Gea shouted loudly in the backcourt, reminding his teammates to cheer up and get back into the game. They have to make up for the lost opportunities through the next attack and defense.

As the game continued, the physical strength of the players on both sides declined, but their fighting spirit remained high. Dortmund's Rafael Guerrero's attack on the left put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's right defense. The quality of his crosses is very high, and he can always find his teammates in the penalty area accurately. But Manchester United's Raphael Varane and Keppel Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) are also very strong in air defense, and they successfully resolved several high-altitude ball attacks from Dortmund.

In a corner kick defense, Keppel Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) showed his tough style. He had a fierce physical confrontation with Paco Alcacer in the penalty area, successfully blocked Alcacer behind him, grabbed the first point, and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Manchester United's Marco Verratti's passing accuracy in the midfield is still very high. He was able to calmly pass the ball under the pressure of Dortmund players, sorting out a clear line for the team's offense. In an attack, Verratti passed the ball to Edinson Cavani, who got a chance to shoot at the front of the penalty area. He adjusted and then shot hard, the ball hit the Dortmund defender and bounced out of the baseline.

Dortmund's Julian Weigl was very calm in defense. He has a good sense of defensive position and can effectively prevent Manchester United players from breaking through. When Manchester United's offensive players tried to break through his defensive area, Julian Weigl was always able to appear in the most critical position in time and use his body to block the opponent's offensive route.

In the 75th minute, Manchester United's Raphael Varane and Dortmund's Jaden Malik Sancho clashed in a fight.

At that time, Jaden Malik Sancho tried to break through Raphael Varane's defensive area with his excellent dribbling skills. As an experienced defender, Varane naturally would not let Jaden Malik Sancho succeed easily. He stuck to Jaden Malik Sancho tightly and used his physical advantage to interfere. In the entanglement, a fake move by Jaden Malik Sancho caused dissatisfaction from Raphael Varane, who thought that Jaden Malik Sancho was suspected of a deliberate foul. Jaden Malik Sancho felt that Raphael Varane's defensive action was too big, which affected his normal breakthrough.

The emotions of the two were instantly ignited, and they began to push each other. Jaden Malik Sancho was young and vigorous, and he faced Raphael Varane without showing any weakness; Raphael Varane was not to be outdone, and his eyes were fixed on Jaden Malik Sancho. Just when the conflict was about to escalate, the referee keenly noticed the situation here, and he rushed over quickly.

The referee separated the two with his body, and seriously showed them a yellow card warning, indicating that they should control their emotions. With the referee's timely stop, the conflict did not deteriorate further, and the game continued. But this conflict undoubtedly gave the tightZhang's game added a hint of gunpowder, and the fighting spirit of the players on both sides was also aroused more strongly.

In the second half of the game, the players on both sides began to become more cautious. But the enthusiasm of Dortmund fans did not diminish at all, and they continued to cheer in the stands.

Manchester United's Theo Fernandes also performed well in defense. His speed and flexibility allowed him to return to defense in time to resolve Dortmund's overly fast wing attacks. In a Dortmund counterattack, Fernandes successfully caught up with Jaden Malik Sancho who was dribbling the ball, and cleanly intercepted the ball, avoiding the crisis of Manchester United's defense.

As time passed, the score between the two sides was still 0:0. But the intensity of the game did not diminish at all. Dortmund's Marco Reus once again demonstrated his personal ability in an attack. He dribbled all the way from outside the penalty area and passed several Manchester United defenders in succession. But at the moment of the last shot, Rodrigo Hernandez blocked it with his body and it went out of the baseline.

The fans at the Westfalenstadion sighed when they saw this scene. But they immediately cheered up and continued to cheer for the team.

Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku got several header opportunities in the penalty area. With his excellent jumping ability, he jumped high and headed the ball. But Roman Birki also performed very well. He accurately judged the landing point of the ball and saved Lukaku's headers one by one.

In the final stage of the game, both sides made personnel adjustments. Dortmund replaced some players with stronger offensive ability to try to break the deadlock at the last moment. Manchester United also replaced some players with excellent defensive ability to consolidate their defense.

In an attack, Dortmund's new player showed his vitality. After breaking through the wing, he made a cross from the bottom, and the ball accurately found Marco Reus in the penalty area. Reus shot the ball, but the ball hit the post and bounced out. The fans at the Westfalenstadion cried out in surprise, they couldn't believe that the team had missed another chance to score.

Manchester United also launched several threatening attacks in the final moments. They passed the ball through the midfielders and penetrated into Dortmund's penalty area. But Dortmund's defenders defended very tenaciously, they used their bodies to build a solid defense line and resolved Manchester United's attacks one by one.

With the referee's whistle, the game ended and the score between the two sides was still 0:0. Although the fans at the Westfalenstadion were a little regretful, they still gave warm applause to the team's performance. And Manchester United's players showed their tenacity and strength in this tough away game.
