Manchester United had just scored a goal and were in high spirits, and their players were ready to take advantage of the victory and beat Borussia Dortmund to seal the victory.

But when they restarted, they suddenly realized that something was not right.

Dortmund's first counter-attack after the re-kick-off was unsuccessful, while United managed to get the ball.

Carrick tried to look for a gap in the Dortmund formation in the same pattern as before, but this time, he didn't see even a crack.

Ferguson secretly rolled his eyes as soon as he saw the situation on the field.

Yan this guy, as soon as he sees that he can't attack, he is about to set up an iron bucket.

Prior to United's first goal at the start of the race, Borussia Dortmund had adopted a more balanced attacking and defensive formation, but in terms of their staff, they were more attacking in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

And now, when Dortmund is one goal behind, Yan Jing has instead adjusted the formation to Dortmund's best 4-5-1 last season, and he doesn't plan to play against Manchester United anymore.

The Champions League knockout round is different from ordinary games, it is not a decisive match, and the two-legged battle makes the tactical options more abundant, and also tests the psychological quality of the two teams.

In the case of a small difference in quality, away goals will largely become the key to the final victory. Therefore, there are many teams that come to the away side and do not necessarily have to win, even if the opponent wins, it is not a big problem.

As long as you get as many away goals as possible and keep the difference in goal difference between the two sides within one goal, there is a very good chance of a comeback back to the home side in the next leg.

The situation is different, and the options are different, and for now, what Yan Jing hopes the players can do is not concede any more goals.

Dortmund's attack looked less sharp than it used to be, but their defensive quality went up a notch.

Borussia Dortmund couldn't find any good chances, and so did Manchester United.

The remaining 10 minutes of the first half were quickly exhausted after a couple of unsuccessful positional battles for the Reds, heading into a short break.

The players of the two teams walked into the tunnel one after another, and Ferguson and Yan Jing fell behind, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly without saying much.

Although the final ten minutes of the game were dull, the results showed that United fans had reason to smile.

The players had time to catch their breath, but the Red Devils fans in the stands didn't stop.

Like trident wielding devils, they sang one of United's team anthems, YouReds, which was released in 1994 and co-written by British rock band Statusquo and Manchester United, and topped the UK singles chart after Manchester United won the FA Cup final that year.

At the same time, this song is also the only football song to have reached the top of the British singles chart as of 2011. From this, it can be seen that Manchester United's influence in English football culture is truly unmatched.

In addition to not conceding goals again, Yan Jing certainly has a strong desire to score goals like the players, and defeat is never something they are willing to accept.

In the away team's dressing room, the cheers of Manchester United fans could not invade here, and the players listened attentively to Yan Jing's speech.

"It's not over yet, guys, there's still forty-five minutes to go!" Yan Jing waved his arm, "These forty-five minutes are enough for us to equalize and even overtake the score!"

The players on the bench nodded vigorously, replenishing their water, and did not forget to express their belief to Yan Jing.

"We won't let the fans down!"

The voice was full of fighting spirit, but Yan Jing noticed that there was a player who looked a little depressed.

"Dede. Yan Jing calmly called out the player's name, "Don't you want to play?"

When his name was called, Dede trembled, Yan Jing's words made him a little flustered, and he shook his head quickly: "No, boss, I want to kick!"

"But you seem to have been beaten by Ronaldo! You should take a good look at your expression, it seems to say 'I lost completely'! And I don't need this kind of coward in my team who gives up before the game is over!"

Yan Jing's abruptly raised voice made the hearts of all the players jump.

Oops, oops! The boss is angry!

The players buried their heads slightly, and the aura exuded by Yan Jing's body was similar to that of two people on weekdays, as if there was a thick terrifying black cloud pressing on their heads, making the players dare not take a breath.

Their performance this season has been excellent, Yan Jing has hardly been angry with them, and I remember that the last time was a long time ago.

Dede, who was named and criticized, had a hot face, and he wanted to lower his head in shame, not daring to face Yan Jing, but he was immediately stopped by Yan Jing.

"Dede, look up, look at me. ”

Dede had no choice but to tilt his head up and look at Yan Jing in the middle of the locker room.

Yan Jing didn't have a smile on his face, but he didn't have anger, he asked calmly.

"Do you know what you did wrong in the first half?"

Dede glanced at Yan Jing weakly, and replied in a low voice: "I failed to prevent Ronaldo, and I fouled them and gave them a penalty......"

"No, Dede. Yan Jing shook his head, "That's not what I mean, and these things can't be counted on you alone." ”

Dede looked at Yan Jing and didn't know what to pick up.

Yan Jing looked at the silent Dede and continued: "And that penalty, the mistake you made was to foul too late, and the meaning of the foul is to reduce the threat of the enemy as soon as possible when we can't defend them head-on. ”

Immediately, Yan Jing swept the others.

"I said before the game that Dede alone would never be able to completely guard against Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs. I'm not questioning your strength, I'm telling you all the truth. ”

"Yaya. Yan Jing turned his eyes to Toure, "In the first half, you had too little support on the wings, if you could be more active in helping Dede, Dede would not have fallen into a situation of being besieged by Manchester United players." ”

"Frank, you should try to press on more. You defended too often and that led to us being kept pressed by Manchester United, you have to remember that you are a wing-back and you can be a winger, your main task is to attack. ”

Yan Jing paused, and he said word by word.

"And offense is the best defense. ”

All the players were watching him.

"Playing in a defensive formation doesn't mean we have to defend to the end, and I'm sure you understand that 4-5-1 is more about luring the opposition to play and finding the right opening. When it was our turn to attack, we quickly switched back to 4-2-3-1......"

As the second half was about to begin, Alex Ferguson was the first to step back into the home bench and turn to speak in a low voice with assistant coach Queiroz.

"Carlos, do you think Dortmund will continue to choose to stay on the back foot in the second half?"

Queiroz pursed his lips and thought for a while, and replied: "If they don't choose to defend, then there is a good chance that we will break through their defense again like in the first half, and Yan Jing should also choose to defend with this in mind." ”

Ferguson listened to it and did not respond.

Yan Jing and his players then walked out, exchanged venues, the referee blew the whistle, and United restarted.

After the war resumed, the Manchester United players consciously pressed on.

At half-time, Ferguson told them that with what he knew about Yan Jing, Yan Jing would definitely not be willing to eat a defeat, so Dortmund would inevitably fight back fiercely in the second half.

They should take the lead and put the victory firmly in their hands before Dortmund can gain momentum.

So the situation in the first ten minutes of the second half was a bit surprising to the fans.

"The game came to the 55th minute and, contrary to expectations, it was not Dortmund who were behind but Manchester United who were leading the attack!"

In the first half, he ate the sweetness on Dede's side, and Ronaldo naturally did not intend to let go of this piece of fat.

After winning the ball, Ronaldo continued to lunge in the direction of Dede.

However, this time he could not get to the vicinity of Dede, Yaya Toure was already in front of him, and smashed the ball out of the touchline.

Toure glanced at Ronaldo, didn't say anything, and ran back to his place.

Paul Scholes threw the ball from the touchline and Ronaldo won possession again, but this time he didn't continue to force Dede, but handed the ball to Carrick.

After that, Ronaldo ran to the other side of the pitch, and Rooney on the other end tacitly ran to Ronaldo's original position.

Rooney and Ronaldo switched places.

Yan Jing frowned and shouted towards the stadium: "Pay attention to defense!"

After the switch between Rooney and Ronaldo was completed, Carrick, who had been delaying with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, brushed the ball to Rooney.

Wayne Rooney, who was selected for the England national team at the age of 17, was spotted by Alex Ferguson, and England fans also had high hopes for him.

Rooney has boxed and has a strong physique, so he can maintain his balance even in the heat of physical confrontation. His dribbling style isn't fancy, but he's quick and practical, often messing up opposition defences.

As soon as Ronaldo retreated on the front foot, Rooney followed on the back foot, which made Dede feel a lot of pressure.

At halftime, Yan Jing said, Dede took it to heart, and he bred up to focus on defense and didn't let himself think about anything else.

Rooney's shooting skills are rough, but that doesn't mean you can let him wreak havoc in the box.

Toure was entangled in Ryan Giggs and was unable to come to help, leaving Dede alone.

Rooney's pace was no slower than Ronaldo's, and he swooped over with the intention of forcing past Dede.

Dede quickly stretched out his leg to trip Rooney, who was trying to overtake, and knocked him to the ground.

The referee's whistle blew suddenly, only this time Rooney was at least five metres away from the penalty area.

Yan Jing watched from the sidelines and just breathed a sigh of relief, but then the referee showed Dede a yellow card, which made him shake the alarm bell in his heart.

In the last game against Arsenal, Dede had already received a yellow card and now he has received one, accumulating two yellow cards.

According to the Champions League suspension rules, every time a player has accumulated three yellow cards, then he will be suspended for one match. After a player is suspended for three yellows, it automatically becomes one suspension for every two yellows in the following games.

If Borussia Dortmund do make it to the final, and Dede happens to pick up another yellow card in the next game, he will miss out on the Champions League final in Athens.

Once Dede is suspended, then only ...... will replace him

Yan Jing glanced back at the bench, and the little golden retriever Coentrão was still cheering for the team in high spirits.

Fabio is not worried about his skills, but his lack of experience is the reason why Yan Jing has rarely let him start.

At this time, it is not the right occasion for newcomers to exercise, so let Dede pay more attention.

The free-kick was poorly placed and Ronaldo took it out to bother Weidenfeller.

The game continued, and the whole rhythm seemed to remain in a tepid state.

Especially after 70 minutes, the United players are not physically fit and their speed of running without the ball has slowed down, and they are no longer as active as they were in the first half.

And that's the opportunity that Dortmund has been patiently waiting for.

The time on the big screen showed that the game was coming to an end, leaving Dortmund with less than five minutes to go.

Red Devils fans watched as their home team had been in control of the ball on the pitch, and they all thought that the victory was in their hands, and sang the victory song.

Ferguson watched from the sidelines, and Dortmund never showed signs of wanting to fight back, which made him full of doubts.

At first, Ferguson thought that this must be a strategy of Yan Jing, pretending to have no intention of attacking, but in fact looking for opportunities to counterattack, so he also reminded the players on the pitch before and after 70 minutes.

But now it's the 85th minute, and Dortmund still don't have any offensive to attack......

It stands to reason that if they hold on a little longer, the goddess of victory will give Manchester United a smile, but at this moment Ferguson is even more nervous than ever.

Ferguson pulled out a new piece of gum and put it in his mouth, and he didn't know why he kept chewing on a simmer of intrigue.

Let the players on the pitch focus a little more......

As soon as Ferguson had the idea, he was shocked by the sudden change in the situation on the field.

Ferguson's previous reminder did tighten up United's defence that was about to slacken.

But then, Dortmund's slow pace was like a pot of warm water, and the Manchester United players who kept pressing forward were the frogs jumping into it.

Dort's sluggish pace creates the illusion that the United players have resigned themselves to their fate, and this illusion slowly but continuously wears away the vigilance in the minds of the United players.

It would have been useless to have the experienced Neville and Rio Ferdinand, or many Temund, delayed for long, but luckily it was Brown and Heinze who replaced them at the back.

In fact, Dortmund were always looking for a chance to strike a lethal blow, and that opportunity finally came in the 87th minute.

Manchester United took a corner and their defenders rushed into the box to fight for a header, but the experienced Thuram was the first to touch the ball.

The French defender's head flicked in the direction of the United half, and the ball flew away.

The ball landed gracefully on the turf, and the next moment, a figure appeared, and the ball was moved forward with the soles of his feet, and his body accelerated.

"Good chance!! good chance! Manchester United took a corner but Thuram headed it in, Villa was the first to get the ball! He won the ball in his own half and was not offside, and in front of him there was not even half of the United defenders except for Van der Sar!"

On the sidelines, Ferguson shook his hand sharply.

"Damn it! Defend it!"

Yan Jing shouted as Villa ran past him.

"Don't hesitate!"

Villa are at full throttle and at full speed, with the United defence not being able to close the gap between the two quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Villa was about to arrive in the Manchester United penalty area.

Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn't pose much of a threat throughout the game, but his experience didn't catch him off guard.

He calmly abandoned, sprinting towards Villa, who had just stepped into the box, spreading his arms to keep the ball out.

Yan Jing's heart on the sidelines was hung to his throat, and he couldn't help but roar.

"Shoot!guaje, shoot!"

Perhaps Yan Jing's anxious shout, and a moment before Van der Sar's long arm reached for him, Villa quickly lifted his foot and aimed it at the far corner of the United goal.

"Villa shot – oh! Van der Sar couldn't keep the ball away, the ball flew into the far corner!!"

As soon as he finished shooting, Villa was brought to the ground by the rushing Van der Sar.

Villa's cheeks were stained with mud and grass, and Van der Sar was still pressing on him.

But he didn't have time to think about it.

Villa's first instinct was to look up at the football that everyone was looking at.

Just now, in order to avoid being destroyed by Van der Sar, his shooting posture was a little awkward, and he didn't use all his strength......

The ball slid down the turf to the edge of the goal, hit the inside of the goal post, and bounced back a second time.

Get out! Get out! Get out!

The United players prayed to God in their hearts, the United fans booed and Ferguson paused.

The ball seemed to ignore everyone's nervousness, and it stopped leisurely and thought about which way it was going for half a second.

In the end, it chose to roll over United's goal line and make the place its destination.

Yan Jing jumped high, and the players on the bench rushed out with the same excitement as the players on the field, screaming and pounced on Yan Jing.

"The !! scored !! !! score 1-1 !!!"

"In the 89th minute of the game!! Dortmund relied on Villa's single knife to complete the stunner at Old Trafford!!" 166 Reading Network
