Italian referee Rizzoli blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the players from both sides walked to the players' tunnel in twos and threes, and the camera of the live broadcast showed the Dortmund captain Tang Zheng, who scored the only goal in the first half. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His face was normal, and he pulled Gundogan as if he was saying something as he walked.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said: "The first half ended with Dortmund leading the home team Manchester City 1:0, and Tang Zheng in the camera is undoubtedly the best player in the entire first half, no one, whether it is in attack or defense, it is all ...... with all his heart."

The players of both sides entered their dressing rooms, and the TV commentators, who each had the right to broadcast the Champions League, took advantage of the time to review the final first half and analyze why Dortmund took the lead in the first half.

BBC TV commentator Lineker said: "Judging from the running in the first half, Manchester City is much lower than Dortmund, so the space created is significantly less than the opponent, but Dortmund's goal has little to do with Manchester City's overall defense, and the star shine is difficult to explain." ”

Former England international Shearer, who was guest commentator, said: "But I still don't think the Manchester City frontcourt players put enough pressure on the Dortmund backline, and I personally feel that the well-coordinated Edin Dzeko should pull out more of the box as a receiving point to attack, and the attacking 30-metre area is not enough for David Silva, Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero. ”

"Alain, do you mean that in addition to Edin Dzeko, the midfielders should also be more involved in the attacking play?" Lineker asked, turning his head.

Shearer nodded: "That's right, the development of modern football is in the direction of all-attack and defense, Yaya Toure and Xavi Garcia focus too much on defense, and one of the two of them has to relieve the pressure of David Silva's playmaking attack......"

Meanwhile, in the home dressing room, coach Roberto Mancini made adjustments to his tactics for the second half, and he looked at Yaya Toure: "Yaya. ”

"Huh?"

Yaya Toure looked up at Mancini.

"The responsibility of defense is handed over to Xavi, you go forward to participate in the attack, relieve the pressure of David's organization, and coordinate the specific control yourself, I believe that the usual training is not in vain. ”

Mancini said this, and Yaya Toure nodded in understanding.

In addition, his tactical changes also involve Sergio Aguero.

In the first half, Sergio Aguero was anchored on the left side of the attack for tactical reasons.

Although he can play to the advantage of his inside shot on the left side of the attack, Dortmund is well prepared in the attacking third in front of the penalty area, and Aguero does not get a decent chance, so if you want to select the Manchester City player who played the worst in the first half, Aguero is definitely on the list.

When Aguero heard the manager ask him to cruise behind Dzeko more, he became refreshed and scrappy.

In the away dressing room, manager Jurgen Klopp has made little tactical changes to his team.

Among them, the biggest change is that Tang Zheng is required to boldly press the attack and kill the game if he has the opportunity!

Now Manchester City has no way out, and if they lose two consecutive games in the group stage, the possibility of promotion will be infinitely close to zero.

Ajax lost to Borussia Dortmund in the first round, and it is difficult to beat Real Madrid at home in this round, which is equivalent to losing both rounds, and the third and fourth rounds of home-and-away back-to-back matches have become particularly important, and the results of the hard work will be difficult to estimate.

Therefore, Manchester City will definitely press out in the second half, and once they press too much, there will be a lot of space behind them......

Therefore, this is the best opportunity for Tang Zheng to insert the aid attack!

※※※

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed in the blink of an eye, and players from both sides slowly walked towards the pitch to prepare for the start of the second half.

"Whew-"

Accompanied by the huge cheers created at the Etihad Stadium, referee Rizzoli blew a whistle to announce the start of the second half.

Neither side made substitution adjustments, and they were obviously satisfied with the performance of the personnel on the field.

Tang Zheng noticed a change in City's formation less than half a minute into the second half, with David Silva, who was supposed to be defending, leaving the middle and moving to the left, followed by Sergio Aguero, who had been on the left.

It is equivalent to saying that the original 4231 has become a 441 formation, increasing the central playmaking ability without depleting David Silva's offensive playmaking ability, and it can also liberate Aguero.

Kill more than one stone.

The immediate change brought about by the change in Manchester City's formation is the increase in attacking points, with David Silva, Nasri, Sergio Aguero, Dzeko all having strong scoring ability, and even Yaya Toure, who is involved in the attack, can see the opportunity to pick up a kick.

The frenzy at the Etihad Stadium continues to run high, and the Manchester City players on the pitch are getting more and more excited, with the duo of Tang Zheng and Gundogan looking a little too busy and dangerously in front of goal.

Thankfully, goalkeeper Weidenfeller was in good form, making a high save to keep the ball in the back of the net.

Jurgen Klopp, who was standing in the coaching area of the visiting team, was anxious and had a feeling that if this situation continued, it would be a matter of time before he conceded a goal.

Jurgen Klopp is still figuring out how to break the game, and Manchester City is attacking like a tide on the field, wave after wave.

Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game, and noticed that Manchester City's main attack still comes from David Silva, so he motioned to Kuba, who was defending on the right, to stick to David Silva and not let him easily attack in tandem.

Kuba's trust in Tang Zheng reached an almost blind point, so he didn't hesitate.

Sure enough!

With Tang unable to get out of front of the arc of the penalty area, Kuba played a role in limiting David Silva, and City's attack to threaten Weidenfeller's goal came to an abrupt halt.

David Silva is equivalent to the brain of Manchester City's attack, and if the brain is disturbed, the overall attack will naturally suffer a huge blow, which means that the attack can only be organized by Yaya Toure, who is based on the premise of the position.

However, Yaya Toure has to take care of the transition from attack to defense while organizing the attack, which means that his position is too high, and the goal conceded in the first half is the best example......

Since there is no way to change the situation through tactical adjustments, the only way to try to change them is through substitution adjustments.

In the 57th minute, Kolarov replaced Nasri, who was not very useful, and David Silva moved from the left to the right, taking advantage of his ability to cut inside and pass the ball into the air.

In addition, Kolarov's crossing, free-kick and long-range shooting ability are all strong, which can enrich Manchester City's attacking routine.

Kolarov's presence did make a huge difference in City's attack, and Klopp realised that the team should increase their attack, after all, the constant defence did not suit Dortmund's characteristics.

Two minutes later, Sven Bender came on in place of Kuba, Tang Zheng was in position, Gotze pulled to the left and Reus went to the right.

For this substitution, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif spoke in a much higher tone, and said excitedly: "What changes will Don bring to Dortmund's attack?"

Not long after, Tang Zheng suddenly accelerated in a comfortable position, Yaya Toure was a little caught off guard, but his start was half a beat slower, and Harvey Garcia had no choice but to stretch out his foot to trip Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng was left by him, and the referee Rizzoli's whistle also sounded.

Due to the dangerous position, Xavi Garcia received a yellow card.

Dortmund's attack was stopped, but Xavi Garcia sat on the ground with his left thigh and did not get up.

Rizzoli motioned for the team doctor to come on for a check-up, before City were forced to make a second substitution, with Rodwell coming on.

Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator, shook his head and said: "It's really not going well for Manchester City, the attack has not been opened for a long time, and now the main defender Harvey Garcia can't continue due to injury, Jack Rodwell became famous at a young age, but the growth rate is very slow, and it is difficult to become a ......."

Mancini also had no choice but to use Lodeville, who had to keep his back two against Borussia Dortmund, otherwise the defensive third would be prone to problems.

Tang Zheng's breakthrough through Yaya Toure was the best reference, but if there was no Xavi Garcia to fill in the position, the consequences would be unimaginable, so it was necessary to play a double back in the face of a strong team.

Dortmund, who were the guests, gradually started to attack with Tang Zheng's position.

The home fans at the Etihad Stadium frowned, the last thing they wanted to see was a possibility.

The Dortmund Expeditionary Force was very excited, shouting hysterically and almost frantically, cheering for the team.

But soon Dortmund's attack ran into problems, and Klopp frowned.

Because Dortmund's attack has not been fruitful for a long time, it is equivalent to thunder and rain.

This situation is a dangerous situation for the visiting team, and once the home team is allowed to play a quick counter-attack, it can be fatal!

Sergio Aguero, Kolarov and Dzeko are all good counter-attackers......

In the 66th minute, Tang Zheng was attacking the right rib side, Piszczek crossed directly without stopping, and Lewandowski smashed the ball on the crossbar.

A minute later, after Tang Zheng's left-footed cross was left behind, Gotze received the ball directly at goalkeeper Joe Hart, but his shot bounced off Joe Hart's chest before Zabaleta cleared the right touchline from the returning Zabaleta.

It was the closest Dortmund had come to scoring in the second half.

Two chances in a row and a goal missed somewhat made Dortmund fans feel panicked.

Götze, who missed the chance to score, looked pained as he tugged at his hair with both hands.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was so anxious that he turned his head to look at the bench and saw that only Balotelli could use it.

For whom?

Eventually, he opted to replace left-back Klich, with Kolarov able to play at left-back to strengthen the strikers while maintaining a defensive midfield.

In the 73rd minute, City made the third substitution of the game.

Balotelli up, Chrissy down.

Interestingly, after the live director gave Balotelli a close-up, he gave Hummels a close-up with great meaning......
