In the shouts of the home fans, AC Milan has taken the initiative to attack from the beginning of the game - although Ancelotti is safe, but he also knows that Dortmund's current strength and stability are not as good as last season, although they played beautifully in the first game, but such a back and forth attack, AC Milan players grasp opportunities and create opportunities, is definitely stronger than Dortmund - if they attack ten times, Carlo Ancelotti is sure that his players can take two or three chances, while Dortmund can take one at most!

If Dortmund really had to fight them, Carlo Ancelotti would have had a good laugh.

However, Ancelotti also knew that Dick would probably not let him smile so happily - sure enough, after the start of the game, Dortmund was based on the midfield pressing, did not give much space to the opponent at the back, and adopted the tactic of first defending solidly, and then waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

This is actually one of Dick's ideas in charge of Dortmund this season, which is to play a little more aggressively at home and be patient when facing stronger teams in Europe, so that the players can also be trained.

In the fourth minute, Seedorf passed the ball to Kaka, who was about to burst into the box, and Ismael made a beautiful tackle to intercept the ball in the middle of the game.

In the ninth minute, Seedorf volleyed from outside the penalty area, the ball hit Vaughans and changed the line, Inzaghi ghostly appeared at the point where the ball landed and stabbed into the net, but when he was about to celebrate, the linesman raised the flag - when Seedorf shot, Inzaghi was already in an offside position, and the goal was invalid!

Inzaghi reluctantly complained to the linesman, to be honest, he didn't know if he was offside, but after so many years of playing, he was also unfortunate to leave a striker who likes offside goals and fake falls in the eyes of others, so sometimes the referee can't judge whether he is a real fall or a fake fall, he is sentenced to fake a fall, until he gets older and older, the misunderstanding of him gradually decreases, just like the older Xiaobei gets, the "he only crosses and looks handsome" argument is getting less and less.

However, the linesman did not wronged Inzaghi, and from the slow motion, Inzaghi was already half offside when Seedorf shot, and there was nothing wrong with this decision.

After missing this opportunity, AC Milan's attack was not affected too much, they are still attacking, while Dortmund is firmly defending their own penalty area and constantly intercepting the opponent's attack, their defense is still very effective, AC Milan can not have many opportunities to hit the penalty area.

Seedorf fired a long-range shot over the bar in the 16th minute that was interfered with by Borowski and Cafu flicked a beautiful through ball to Inzaghi, but Inzaghi fired high from a tight angle in the box.

After withstanding a burst of onslaught from AC Milan, Dortmund began to counterattack, Kyle passed directly to the front, Donovan received the ball and split the side, Arshavin arced the ball into the middle, and the forward Olic unloaded the ball and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and still shot with his feet under the interference of Nesta!

The ball whistled towards the AC Milan goal, and Dida did not dare to slack off, lifting the ball directly off the crossbar with both hands, a corner kick.

Arshavin took the corner, with two forwards, two midfielders and two centre-backs all looking for opportunities in the box, and the tall players put a lot of pressure on AC Milan, although they were not bad at defending their defences......

Arshavin's corner kick was snatched by Nesta to the first spot, but Borowski's pressing did not allow Nesta's clearance to go far, Owomoela intercepted the ball from outside the box, and then distributed it to Donovan, who retreated to receive it, Donovan crossed into the box again, and Maldini cleared again.

Borussia Dortmund's players began to run back like a tide, which frustrated AC Milan's attempt to play fast, and Pirlo controlled the ball in midfield before handing it to Cafu on the right.

After the introduction of Cafu, AC Milan's attacking ability on the wing has been strengthened a lot - compared to Hellwig, Cafu is obviously more athletic and offensive on the wing, and it also brings enough vitality to AC Milan's wing attack, which is more focused on the middle.

In the 21st minute, Inzaghi fell into Dortmund's offside trap again, but a minute later, Cafu made a wonderful breakthrough on the side, he broke through Dede's defense and did not cross, but passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and began to run towards the middle after the pass, Brockie's long-range shot after receiving the ball was blocked by Vaughans with his body, and the ball that rolled out fell to Cafu's feet again, Cafu directly picked up his right foot and came to a blast, but to the disappointment of AC Milan fans, The long-range shot flew straight into the stands......

After this wave of attacks, AC Milan's attack began to gradually become ferocious, and Dortmund's only few counter-attacks did not put too much pressure on them, and even the pressure caused by that set-piece was definitely not too great, in this case, their attack began to become a little crazy - Dick still gave them a lot of stimulation before the game......

Watching AC Milan attack wave after wave, Dick stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, his face still moving.

Before the game, he stimulated AC Milan up and down, just to make the AC Milan players lose some of their cool in the game - now it seems that the AC Milan players are really crazy in attack, the two fullbacks are constantly moving forward, and even Maldini and Nesta's attacks have begun to increase significantly, although Brockie is very hard, but his interception ability in the midfield is not as good as Gattuso and not as good as Ambrosini, so that Dortmund's counterattack opportunities are definitely not less......

Although Dortmund only have two strikers on the surface, Olic is in good shape now, Donovan's speed and skills are good, as long as they have the opportunity, they will be able to grasp it!

The time slowly came to the thirtieth minute, two-thirds of the first half of the game has passed, under the attack of AC Milan, Dortmund is still struggling to support, such an attack puts them in danger almost every moment, but half of it is hard work, half of it is luck, they still support it until now, and they have not conceded a single goal!

This situation has also made the AC Milan players a little irritable, they are not inexperienced, and for most of the players who participated in last season's Champions League final, they can't be too calm about this game......

Dortmund's frontcourt players are constantly looking for opportunities, waiting for that fleeting opportunity......

Thirty-third minute.

Cafu's cross was grabbed by Warnes in front of Inzaghi and the ball was pushed out, Kyle took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and in the face of Kaka and Seedorf's pressing, he quickly passed the ball to the left, and Dede, who was inserted, looked up to see the movement of the two forwards before Cafu came up to press......

Then he immediately picked up his left foot and made a long pass to the frontcourt!

The ball arced in the air and flew straight up front, and Nesta and Maldini realised that they seemed to be a little bit forward!

Just as Nesta was about to retreat quickly, Olic shook twice in his running path, slowing his acceleration by a step, and at that moment, Donovan rushed past them like a bolt of lightning!

Donovan's speed was very fast, and Dede's long pass also played at a very high level, and the ball began to fall at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Donovan accelerated and unloaded the ball at the edge of the penalty area!

"Rush! Hit the ball in! Olich's shout came from a distance behind him, he interfered twice before, blocking Nesta's retreat, and now he can only mutter silently in his heart, senior can only help you here......

Donovan did not disappoint him, he quickly burst into the penalty area with the ball, did not give Nesta and Maldini a chance to defend, and then faced the attacking Dida, calmly kicked the far corner at the first time!

Dida's fall was a step slower and the ball flew into the door of AC Milan!

The AC Milan fans in the stands let out a loud curse in an instant!

Donovan's nerves didn't relax until he saw the ball fly into the door – God knows how much pressure he was under, he knew how precious this opportunity was, and what a blow it would take for his team to miss it!

Now, he finally calmly scored the ball, and at this time, it was the most glorious scene of his career so far!

As Donovan reached out into the air, Olic jumped up from behind and shook his fist at the stands.

With Gomez unavailable, with Olic going to the middle and getting his start, he scored such a goal that gave Dortmund the lead! What a valuable goal!

The hundreds of Dortmund fans who came from afar cheered excitedly, and it was a scene of excitement for them to be able to take the lead in such a situation when they were passive at the whole time!

Dick flicked his fist hard and was able to score on the counter-attack, and then it was time to defend and save the victory!

"Get ready to defend! Watch out for their counterattack! Dick shouted at the pitch, now that they are ahead, AC Milan will be extremely ferocious in their counterattack, and in the minutes after the goal, they will have to pay special attention......

Sure enough, after the restart, AC Milan immediately launched a fierce attack, and they soon forced a corner, Pirlo's corner was snatched by Maldini to the first spot, but the AC Milan captain's header went slightly over the crossbar.

For the remainder of the first half, they continued to attack, with Seedorf, Cafu and Shepchenko creating several dangerous shots in quick succession, which were saved by the Dortmund defenders, and in stoppage time, Seedorf fired a long-range shot from 20 yards out of goal, which was saved by Weidenfeller – and so far, Weidenfeller has been perfect, making few mistakes and making several dangerous saves in a row.

The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and Dortmund took a 1-0 lead away from home in a passive situation, which made the AC Milan players look very frustrated when they came off the field, while the Dortmund players had more confidence!

'We did a good job in the first half...... Keep defending in the second half and counter-attack when you have the chance! Don't be too greedy, defence comes first and don't forget that we are away from AC Milan...... Hold the ball and then we go home with the three points! Dick shouted in the locker room.
