Borussia Dortmund's players walked out of the dressing room first, while their head coach hung his head over the yellow and black striped tie on his chest.

We've come this far and there's not much to talk about with the players. There was no one who didn't understand the importance of the Champions League semi-finals, and there was no one who didn't want to fight for the glory, and the morale of the team was as high as the cheers in the stadium.

At this moment, Yan Jing felt unprecedented tension.

From the time he crossed over to the present, there have been hundreds of games he has coached, but it is the first time he has been immersed in such an important game.

It's no ordinary game, it's the semi-finals of the European Cup! A pivotal match that will decide the fate of life and death!

He is a traverser, and he has a unique advantage, which can even be described as cheating.

But at the same time, he is also an ordinary person, he has never stood on such an important stage as a party, and now he is still so nervous that his heart is pounding.

Yan Jing flipped the front of his tie into the knot loop and tightened it, and he took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

He looked down again at the tie he wore on his chest, the lucky tie Mario had given him that always brought him good luck.

Thinking of this, Yan Jing relaxed a lot, and he walked out of the locker room with a smile.

As soon as he walked out of the players' tunnel, Ferguson was already standing there waiting for him.

Yan Jing hurriedly stepped forward, but the first words he said were full of provocation.

"Alex, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to make you go back to Manchester in a bad mood tonight."

Ferguson laughed: "Hahaha, your tone is not small, and I like it more than the last time." But by the time 90 minutes have passed, you may not think like that anymore. ”

Yan Jing shrugged: "I won't invite you to the office for a drink after the game, I don't have any good wine to entertain you, and I'm not sure you'll be willing to come." ”

"I'd like to spend a little longer in Dortmund if you could prepare a good bottle of wine, but it doesn't seem necessary now."

Yan Jing and Ferguson exchanged brief words, neither of them showing weakness, and then they returned to their respective seats.

The players of both teams stepped onto the lawn of the Westphalian Stadium, and even with soundproof headsets, Dicker and Faye were forced to play louder than usual in decibels to comment.

"Taking advantage of the time when the players of the two teams shook hands, I would like to introduce to you the list of the starting eleven of the two teams in this game! As for Manchester United, their starting line-up hasn't changed much from last time! Neville and Ferdinand are difficult to recover from injuries, and the backline is still O'Shea, Brown, Vidic, Heinze; Unlike the previous game, Ferguson chose to remove Park Ji-sung and replace Tevez with 4-4-2, and their midfield personnel were Carrick, Scholes, Ryan Giggs and C. Ronaldo, with Wayne Rooney and Tevez appearing as two strikers in attack. ”

Yan Jing glanced at Manchester United's bench.

Aside from the starting eleven, Ferguson only brought five men to Dortmund this time, which is enough to show how traumatized Manchester United are now.

Removing Park Ji-sung for Tevez may be the only starting change Ferguson can make with his current staffing.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have fared much better, with few injuries this season. This is also one of the important reasons why they have been able to get to where they are today with a set of lineups.

"On the home team Dortmund's side, their head coach Yan Jing still chose the main eleven of the team this season. At the back, Dede, Thiago Silva, Thuram and Lichtsteiner are separated, and it is worth noting that Dede has already been shown two yellow cards in the previous game, and if he gets another card today, he will miss the Champions League final in Athens on 24 May, regardless of whether he wins or loses. ”

Dede was already in his place, and he buried himself in earnestly tightening his shoelaces again in case something unexpected happened.

Before the game, Yan Jing explained the situation to him many times, hoping to try not to eat cards without affecting the defense. Dede, of course, doesn't want to play cards anymore, so who wants to miss the Champions League final?

'In midfield, Yaya Toure and Saheen occupy the central midfield position, Franck Ribery, Sneijder and David Silva are in central midfield, and Villa is the lone striker.

The front four have been a consistent attacking duo for Dortmund this season, and Yan Jing has a lot of trust in them.

At the start of the game, Manchester United attacked first, and instead of cautiously probing, they went straight to the Borussia Dortmund goal.

'United started the game aggressively and no wonder they gave Borussia Dortmund a clean sheet at home in the first leg. Martin Feye looked inside the pitch and said, "If they don't score in this game, then their European campaign this season will be over. ”

Yaya Toure was initially in his own position, but when he saw the United players start to rush towards Dede again, he did not hesitate to block Cristiano Ronaldo before he could rush to Dede.

Toure's timely appearance prevented Ronaldo from gaining momentum, and he tangled with Toure for a moment before handing the ball to Ryan Giggs, who immediately rushed back to his position.

Giggs picked up the ball and attacked the space left by Toure's departure, but Saheen filled it in time to prevent Giggs from passing, and Toure soon returned to continue his mission.

This situation still made Yan Jing feel uneasy.

It would be ideal for Toure to help Dede ease his defensive duties, but it would be worth the loss to lose one or the other because of this.

Toure and Shaheen's success forced Ryan Giggs to pass the ball to the other side, while Lichtsteiner broke the ball off the touchline from Scholes' feet.

Taking advantage of the time when the Manchester United players used to get the ball, Toure patted Shaheen on the shoulder: "Nuri, I may have to trouble you a little more today." ”

Shaheen waved his hand: "What's trouble, it's not so that we can go to Athens." ”

This time, United's ball from the touchline was cut off by Shaheen.

On the bench, Yan Jing crossed his arms and watched as the Dort players rushed to Manchester United's half after grabbing the ball.

Manchester United's biggest weakness right now is their fragile backline, and if they stick to it, they are doing the opposite.

Through the first leg of the game, Yan Jing believes that the team's attack should be more active, not to mention that it is not Dortmund's style to defend stubbornly.

Dortmund's first attack scared Ferguson into a cold sweat.

Villa received a pass from David Silva and shot straight at the goal without making adjustments, the ball was fast and angled, and it was about to fly into the United goal.

Fortunately, Manchester United's Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is experienced and knocked Villa's shot out with one palm.

"Alex, I can feel that Dortmund's momentum today is different from the last game."

Ferguson nodded, and he could feel what Queiroz was saying.

Listening to the sighs of the Dort fans coming from the stands as they had just been saved by Edwin van der Sar, Ferguson whispered.

'We've got to be a little more careful at the back.'

David Silva felt he was in good shape today.

Although the big war was imminent, he fell asleep early last night, and when he woke up this morning, it only took him a few minutes to wake up.

A good night's sleep makes him feel more energetic and his running stride is more solid and powerful.

David Silva's pass was precise and he was just as disappointed not to score, but he encouraged Villa.

"Guaje, your shot just now is very beautiful, just a little bit short, I believe you will definitely score next time."

Villa nodded without saying much, he had to step back quickly, Van der Sar was already running to kick off.

The first to grab Van der Sar's first point was Manchester United's Michael Carrick, who swept his eyes sideways, and Dortmund's two wings were options for attack.

From the opening kick-off, Dortmund learned the lessons of the previous game and were consciously getting Yaya Toure to support Dede's defence more...... Why don't you try Lichtsteiner's side?

Carrick didn't hesitate too much, as he remembered that Ferguson had told them before the game that the main direction of their team's attack today would still be Dede's side.

On this side, there is the presence of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

After the last game, Ronaldo did not text Yan Jing again, and the failure to win the game at home made him a little depressed, and he did not want to talk to the Chinese who was not too familiar with him.

Coming to Dortmund today, he vowed to bring victory back to Manchester.

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed to Dede, and Toure did not hesitate to go over to assist in the defense when he saw this.

However, Ronaldo's speed is very fast, and Toure still has to take care of his own place, and he doesn't dare to leave too far.

He helped Dede hold Ronaldo back for a while and had to return to his place because he saw Ryan Giggs staring at the void that had been revealed after she left.

This time, Dede defended the menacing Cristiano Ronaldo well. Yaya Toure has given him plenty of time to prepare, and after the summary of the last game, he is more familiar with Ronaldo's habits.

Failing to break through Dede's defence, allowing Dede to break the ball off the touchline, Ronaldo noticed that his opponent was improving from the previous time.

However, this small obstacle could not discourage Ronaldo and he ran back to the pitch for Carrick to throw a touchline ball.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and the tempo was much faster than in the previous game.

In the stands at the Westfalian Stadium, Dicker and Feye continued their commentary.

'Manchester United wanted to score as soon as possible and this time they sent a very attacking line-up in midfield to try to get the first shot. But Dortmund are not to be outdone, perhaps Yan Jing thinks that attack is the best defense, so far, we have not seen any performance that they intend to defend to the end! If this situation continues, I believe that both teams will bring us a wonderful game! 166 Reading Network
