Chapter 069: The Loneliness of the Dynasty (2nd Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the following minutes, Dortmund came on to attack AC Milan's goal.

"Jiang! Header! Got pounced! Abbiati has made a meritorious service! ”

"Mkhitaryan is dribbling, crossing, Jiang, header ferrying, Reuss! Shot! Hit high! ”

"Kyle! Long shot! Pounced out! Abbiati makes another good save, Borussia Dortmund's corner! ”

Royce drove a corner kick, Papastathopoulos nodded the ball in front and rubbed it back, Jiang Chenxi was in the middle, he was pulled by Bonella, and successfully shook his head to the football, not a header, but a header.

At the top of the arc of the penalty area, Shaheen rushed up and fired a furious shot, and the football grazed the post and went out of the bottom line.

……

Dortmund are on the offensive.

AC Milan fans broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, in the end, there was no goal conceded, the score was still 1-0, and the home team was ahead.

When referee Webb blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the AC Milan players breathed a sigh of relief, the team was too passive in the final moments of the first half, and they were all nervous and worried about conceding again.

The Dortmund fans in the stands cheered and applauded the players.

With a 1-0 lead at half-time, the score was acceptable.

Of course, AC Milan fans also felt that the scoreline was not too bad, and they only needed to score one goal to equalise and be able to advance on away goals.

The home team is 1-0 with the visitors, and it is a score that leaves endless reverie for both sides.

……

"We only need one goal to knock out Borussia Dortmund!"

'That's right, in fact, we came very close to scoring twice in the first half.

"yes, it's a pity, especially Mario's shot."

"Kaka's breakthrough was beautiful!"

'Tarabut was a bit quiet in the first half, and if he had picked up in the second half, Milan's attack would have improved again.

Journalists in Italy were talking about the first half, and despite being 1-0 down, they were in a good mood and were confident that AC Milan would score in the second half.

……

Paul. Cheludi shook his head slightly, a little worried.

As a leading journalist and commentator for Sport, he is a die-hard fan of AC Milan, and he is also a very famous Rossoneri fan in the Italian media, and he has never disguised himself as a Milan fan in his reports and comments. However, Paul. Cheludi rarely denigrates AC Milan's opponents, and even Inter Milan and Juventus fans have to admit that the journalist's articles and comments are relatively fair, and he will not make a fuss about nothing.

Unlike his colleagues and Italian counterparts who expressed optimism about AC Milan's second-half goal and comeback, Paulo. Cheludi sees a different AC Milan.

Desiglio was still very immature.

Emmanuelsen's shortcomings in attack and defence have been exposed, and Aubameyang's pace has always been able to pose a threat on this side.

Essien, who joined AC Milan from Chelsea, is an aged man who made just one successful tackle in the first half, but was tackled once and made two pass errors.

And Bohly, when he first joined AC Milan, this Italian lad who looked like Kaka was favored by people and was considered Pirlo's successor, now? Poli's style is more like Gattuso's successor.

And Balotelli, Paul. Chelaudi was slightly disappointed with the young Italy international's performance in the first half, with Balotelli squandering two chances to score.

The most important thing is that Kaka, Kaka is old and can't run......

The once star-studded Rossoneri are now old, small, and have convulsions......

Paul. Cheludi smiled wryly, he really didn't think AC Milan had the quality to knock out last season's Champions League runners-up.

The only good news is that Bonella's performance today is relatively stable: Bonella can't be blamed for the goal conceded, it can only be said that Jiang Chenxi's ability is too strong.

……

In the dressing room in Dortmund, because of the lead in the score, everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere seemed more relaxed.

In particular, Jiang Chenxi's form today is quite good, which surprises and excites his teammates, and in the game where Jiang Chenxi scored, Dortmund's winning rate was quite high.

Or, to put it more directly, this is a kind of psychological suggestion, psychological encouragement, everyone sees that the top scorer in the team is in good condition, and they have confidence in their hearts.

Klopp was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the locker room, and he even smiled and patted Jiang Chenxi on the shoulder, "Good job, keep up the good work!" ”

Klopp then looked at the players, "First of all, I want to praise everyone. ”

The Borussia Dortmund boss praised his team's performance on the attacking side in the first half, which pleased the attacking players, but the defenders chuckled.

Sure enough, Klopp then criticised the team's defence, "If it weren't for Balotelli being too polite, we would have scored at least one goal by AC Milan now, and if there is a goal conceded, I think everyone knows very well what it means." ”

"In the first half, the defense was not focused enough, someone went up to intercept, what about the person who filled the position?" Jurgen Klopp was 'furious' and looked around the crowd and said: "The second half has to be different, I don't want to see a goal conceded. ”

……

In the dressing room at AC Milan, the atmosphere was a little more solemn.

The AC Milan players are clearly more sober and aware of the situation than the Italian reporters in the media gallery.

Dortmund was able to reach the Champions League final last season, and there is no doubt about their strength, although they still have a number of key players injured and absent in this game, but the strength shown by this Dortmund team on the field is already strong.

Despite the two good chances of AC Milan in the first half, Dortmund dominated the game for most of the first half, which made AC Milan very passive and the players felt quite tired.

In particular, being besieged by Borussia Dortmund at the end of the first half caused great psychological pressure on the players.

Although it cannot be said that it is a surrender, at least many people have predicted the difficult situation in the second half.

Kaka sat in his chair with ice packs on the Brazilian star's legs as beads of sweat slid down the tip of his chin and dripped onto the floor between his feet.

He fought fiercely in the first half, exerting a lot of physical energy, while old injuries were tormenting him, and he had to take advantage of the break to ice to relieve the pain.

He was tired.

After leaving Milan in 2009 and returning in 2013, Milan is no longer the team he is familiar with, and he is no longer young, and his pace of running has been a little slow.

However, looking at the somewhat silent locker room, Kaka stood up, he was going to say something, he didn't know if his words were useful, but someone had to stand up:

Isn't it at times like this that the captain has to step up?

It's the captain's responsibility!

……

Kaka slapped his hands and shouted to his teammates: "It's just a goal behind, we just need to equalize and we can advance!" Guys, cheer up and keep fighting in the second half! ”

Before the others could say anything, Balotelli stood up all of a sudden and said angrily, "That's it, what's wrong with you, as if we've lost the game, I tell you, even if you all admit defeat, I won't admit defeat, I'm going to save the team with a goal!" ”

Kaka looked at Balotelli in surprise, he didn't expect that it would be Balotelli who would be the first to stand up and support him, and what he said was really good, the young man has a lot of backbone and fighting spirit!

The rest of his teammates also looked at Balotelli in surprise, and many of them were amused by Balotelli's words.

"Mario, who do you say threw in the towel?"

"Say who knows."

"You kid......"

"Mario is so aggressive, can we still lose to him." De Jong shouted.

"That's right!" Balotelli shouted, the Dutchman was really interesting, and Balotelli knew that it should be a compliment on him.
