Borussia Dortmund's players protested to referee Kujpels that they thought the follow-up shot by Diego. Costa was offside.

The referee was unfazed and insisted on his decision: the goal was valid.

The ensuing live TV slow-motion showed that at the moment of Arda Turan's shot, Diego. Costa was parallel to Hummels, who defended him, and was not offside, which was a good shot.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp roared on the sidelines, he was very dissatisfied with the team conceding a goal at the end of the first half, and he was able to enter the break with a 1-0 lead, Klopp had even considered the tactics of the second half with a 1-0 lead at halftime, this conceded goal disrupted all his tactical deployment, and it was also a huge blow to Dortmund's morale!

Borussia Dortmund were depressed and frustrated by the goal, while Atletico Madrid celebrated wildly.

Capable of equalising before the end of the first half, they saved themselves and the two sides were back on the same starting line.

……

"One-to-one! Diego. Costa scored, he helped Atletico Madrid equalize! ”

"Both sides are back to the starting line again! One-to-one! Diego. Costa also scored! ”

"Diego. Costa shows off his keen sense of smell! ”

"It's a liar's snatch!" German commentator Erik. Lange angrily complained, "This free kick does not exist, it was Atletico Madrid who committed the foul, this conceded goal should not exist." ”

Despite the anger of Lange and the Borussia Dortmund people, there is no change in the result. There was nothing wrong with this goal from Costa.

……

The Atletico players who ended their goal celebration returned to their positions.

Diego walking towards the middle circle. Costa looked at Jiang Chenxi, and he found that the latter was also looking over. Costa immediately held his head high defiantly and grinned.

This smile is really too provocative.

Did you score? Are you proud?

I'm sorry, I scored a goal too!

Diego. That's what Costa meant with his smile.

Jiang Chenxi looked at Diego coldly. Costa, then retracted his gaze.

You're getting complacent too soon!

……

The game kicked off again in the middle circle.

However, there was not much time left in the first half.

Both sides were cautious, with Atletico Madrid not rushing forward and Borussia Dortmund not trying to overtake the score in the final moments of the first half.

Two minutes later, Dutch referee Kujpels blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Borussia Dortmund 1:1 Atletico Madrid.

When they left the pitch, the Dortmund players looked serious and in a bad mood.

And the Atletico Madrid players who equalized at the end of the first half were beaming.

Among them, Jiang Chenxi's expression was serious, and Diego. Costa had a smile on his face, and it was a stark contrast.

Jiang helped Dortmund take the lead, and Diego. Costa helped Atletico equalise in the last minute and the pair were evenly matched. The commentator commented on the performance of the ace scorers of both sides in the first half of the game.

……

The home team dressing room at the Stadium of Light, which is also the dressing room for Borussia Dortmund, where they drew the home team in the pre-match draw.

Jurgen Klopp was the last to walk into the dressing room, where he slammed the door shut.

This scared the players so much that everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to say anything.

Hummels was even more ashamed, and he was adjusted by the referee to mark Diego. Costa, it was a special trust in him, however, Diego. Costa scored late in the first half, but this time it was Hummels who missed it.

Everyone expected Jurgen Klopp to be furious at criticising their performance in the first half, especially the goal conceded.

However, to everyone's surprise, Klopp did not criticize, did not criticize anyone, and did not directly mention the conceded goal at all.

……

"Yes, I'm angry." Klopp said, "I'm angry that you're doing a great job and not getting the reward you deserve!" ”

Hearing the manager say this, everyone looked up and looked at Klopp.

'I'm very happy with the way you played in the first half. "But we have to see that our opponents are not weak, so that requires us to perform better and be better than our opponents." ”

"The second half of the game is a decisive battle! We have a stronger determination and a firm fighting spirit! We came to this stadium with a desire to win and win, and I believe in you! ”

"In the second half, we have to be more focused when we defend and be careful of Atletico Madrid's sneak attack!"

"Diego. Costa or other Atletico Madrid players may use some tricks to provoke you, but don't be fooled! ”

"Intensify the pressing! Don't give them an easy chance to get the ball! ”

"Jiang, your job is to stay in the front court, parallel to their defenders, I don't care if you will really fall into the offside trap, your task is to nail there and put pressure on their defense at all times!" Klopp said to Jiang Chenxi.

"No problem, Coach!" Jiang Chenxi nodded and said.

……

Meanwhile, in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Diego. Simeone is doing the same thing as Klopp.

He praised the performance of the Atletico players in the first half, especially Arda Turan and Diego. Costa.

"In the second half of the game, we have to play steadily and steadily, and don't blindly press out!" Klopp advised.

He then looked at Diego. Costa, "Costa, you're going to have to control how many you send." ”

The rhythm of the first half of the game was dominated by Diego at the beginning. The duel between Costa and Jiang Chenxi brought the waves to fly, which did not meet the characteristics and tactical needs of Atletico Madrid, so Simeone especially warned Diego. Costa.

Diego. Costa nodded, indicating that he understood.

He understands what the manager means, not to let him rein in his style of play, but to keep himself in line with the rhythm of the whole team.

Diego. Simeone's Atletico put a strong emphasis on discipline, and Diego. Players like Costa are also submissive by Simeone.

……

It's time for the fifteen-minute intermission.

The second half of the game is on!

Neither side made any substitutions, but it was still the same starting line-up.

Whether it's Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp or Atletico Madrid manager Diego. Simeone both developed a steady counter-attacking strategy at half-time, and at the same time, they were both mentally prepared for the difficulties and anxieties of the second half.

In particular, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen. Jurgen Klopp, who is well aware of Atletico Madrid's defensive ability, has long been prepared to play a long game, and even end up playing extra time or even a penalty shootout.

No one expected that Dortmund's second half would start so smoothly.

It's like when you are well prepared for a hard struggle, and a weak voice floats in the sky: Where are the heroes?

Then, in the silence, thunder erupted, and a voice exploded in the sky: The hero is here!
