Chapter 497: It's a Little Cold This Summer

Kyle said this and didn't say anything more because the players were so tired and needed a good rest.

And their performance in the first half was really good, Kyle, who was still hanging in his throat, felt a little relieved to see that as long as they can hold on to playing like this, it will be us who will win in the end.

It is true that both teams have a huge consumption of players, but an important factor that cannot be denied is that Dortmund are younger.

The oldest of the starters on the pitch today was their right wing-back, 30-year-old Piszczek.

So in the end, Barcelona's physical strength will definitely be more consumed than on their side, and our hope will be greater.

Towards the end of the break, Lin Yi suddenly said a word to Reus, Aubameyang and Dembele.

"In the second half, you don't run too much, keep your energy and do some meaningful sprints."

Royce deserves to be the player who knows Lin Yi best, and he looked at Lin Yi with some concern, "Can you still hold on?" ”

Lin Yi didn't answer Royce's question, just waved his hand, signaling them to do what they said.

Fifteen minutes were over quickly, and both Dort and Barcelona felt that the break was a bit too short, and it would be nice if they could just keep resting like this......

Andres Iniesta and the front trident were whispering something, while young Academy producer Sergi Roberto took off his coat and went to warm up.

"There are still 45 minutes left in the game, although extra time may exist in theory, but from the current trend, the goal should happen at any time, and I don't think extra time will definitely be played." Duan Xuan was very confident.

Zhang Lu also nodded in agreement, but more often than not, this is just a good wish of his, after all, playing extra time in two consecutive rounds of the Champions League is too cruel for Dortmund.

As soon as the second half kicked off, Lin Yi firmly controlled the ball at his feet, and he relied on his own running and passing to receive the ball, like the Barcelona duo back then, not only suppressing the opponent, but also combing the team's front, middle and back in an orderly manner.

Neymar originally wanted to come up and try it, but Lin Yi was only sideways, so he used his legs to prop the ball to a very far position from Neymar, and before Neymar could bypass Lin Yi's body, Lin Yi pulled the ball from behind in front of him.

"Very skillful ball control skills, and Lin Yi's position of ball control is also very uncomfortable for the opponent."

"Yes, if the opponent's midfielder comes to save on him in this position, he is likely to seize the opportunity of the opponent's loss of position, break through directly, and press the ball to the front, but if the front trident comes to defend, it will be too much load on them. There is also Dortmund's back, and Gundogan, who played today, also has an accurate long pass, so Lin Yi can still get full help from his teammates in this position. Because the pace of the game was slowing down under Lin Yi's control, Duan Xuan had a long time to do some analysis of the big picture.

But just as he was talking about this, Lin Yi, who got rid of Neymar's entanglement, suddenly accelerated and directly shook off Rakitic.

The right foot in possession of the ball flicked and kicked the ball out a little, and then saw a sliding tackle from Busquets, which went straight through Lin Yi's football and right foot.

Barcelona fans are now a little panicked, how strong this young man they have chased several times without success, they all know in their hearts, and at this moment, seeing him suddenly attack, everyone has a bad feeling in their hearts.

Sergio Busquets' tackle may seem reckless to some, but only the Barcelona players know that he did it entirely because he couldn't stop Lin Yi in one-on-one defence, which is why he resorted to this more direct one-off defence. But it's a pity that Lin Yi has already dodged it very easily.

Lin Yi, who dodged the defense, did not rush forward, but instead moved a few steps sideways with the ball.

In fact, if Lin Yi stepped forward, he might have gotten a chance to shoot from a distance, but he knew very well that it was impossible for him to hit the kind of long-range shot that made Buffon's hands numb when he faced Juventus.

So Lin Yi chose to trust his teammates, and after taking the ball sideways for a few steps, he finally pulled out a straight space.

"Lin Yi! Pass! Royce, this time Alves is too high, it's too late! Dortmund's chance! ”

As soon as Lin saw Alves pressing into the air trying to grab the ball, he made an overhead pass and gave the ball to Reus, who stopped with his chest and then took the ball towards Barcelona's penalty area.

Defense has never been Barcelona's specialty, and at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly accelerated his speed, and the holes in the back were exposed.

Enrique couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched Lin Yi's sudden acceleration and passing.

And if Pep Guardiola, who is in charge of Bayern Munich vs. Atletico Madrid at the moment, sees this game, he probably has the same reaction.

Isn't this exactly what Barcelona usually does, raising the tempo of the game in possession, and then taking advantage of the opponent's backfield to be caught off guard and use the pass to complete a precise fatal blow.

This style of play has been tried by many teams, but the best one is undoubtedly Dortmund today.

Because they have an attacking line that can play the same role as Messi, and when they return to the midfield, they can also organize Lin Yi like Iniesta.

If you take a look at the specific statistics, you will find that while Dortmund's possession rate has surpassed Barcelona, Lin Yi's pass times and his possession rate alone are terrifyingly high.

Royce, who received Lin Yi's pass, started what Lin Yi said at this time, a meaningful sprint.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele are both actively pulling around, after all, although Alves is unlikely to threaten Reus, there is still Pique in the Barcelona penalty area.

Despite his stature, Pique is more agile than a high school defender, so he can defend head-on.

However, Reuss didn't even think about a head-to-head duel with him, seeing that Pique was already stuck in front of him, Royce twisted his heel and then used the inside of his right foot to suddenly make a pass farther away from the goal.

"Lin Yi! Knock on the door?! Another sudden short pass, Aubameyang is single! Ter Stegen, oh! Very brave shot, Aubameyang was very close to the goal, opted for a high shot, the ball flew over Ter Stegen's head, hit the underside of the crossbar, bounced into the goal, Dortmund, 2-0! ”

After the goal, Aubameyang ran frantically to the sidelines, took out the mask hidden in the long tube of his socks and tried to put it on his face.

Ter Stegen, who had made a prediction and went down early, looked sluggish, he could never have imagined that Aubameyang would choose such a shot. He actually wanted to jump up just now, but in the end he was a step too slow because Aubameyang's shot was really powerful.

"I'm afraid no one could have imagined that in this situation that everyone is not optimistic about, Dortmund will overtake the score."

"Hey, hey. Of course, they can't be too rushed to declare their victory, after all, the game Poseidon has been revised for half an hour, but at least Dortmund has taken the initiative into their own hands. ”

At the end of the game, Zhang Lu found that he was too subtle, because after Dortmund took the lead, the calmness of the ball and the pressure on the opponent made Barcelona, which rarely plays against the wind, at a loss.

In addition, as Kyle expected, because of the physical condition of the players, so at the end of the game, Barcelona's player advantage was not highlighted, on the contrary, it was Dortmund's side, because there were still strong players such as Mechtaryan and Castro on the bench, and after Ousmane Dembele was replaced, a defensive player could be added to improve the thickness of the midfield.

The Barcelona trident actually tried many times with small cooperation and individual advancement, but under Baltra's organization, the Dortmund backline finally carried it.

When the manager finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, Dortmund's bench exploded and they all rushed onto the pitch, but not exclusively to celebrate, they had to come up and hold on to captain Lin Yi, who had traveled nearly 20 kilometers in the game.

Kyle forced his excitement and walked over to Luis Enrique, and after the two of them shook hands and embraced, Enrique said very seriously, "Come on, man, I hope you can win the championship in the end." In this way, we are not very faceless to lose. ”

"Of course, the biggest mountain has been overturned, and I can't help but think about it a little more."

There was nothing gunpowder in the conversation between the two, because they didn't have any particularly deep contradictions, just opponents.

However, Enrique mentioned at the press conference, "Let's not talk about Lin Yi, who we have always wanted to buy, I suddenly want to go back and ask Carlos if there are some corresponding post-purchase clauses in Mark's contract at that time, he is great today." ”

Lin Yi, who was held by Weidenfeller, looked at the old goalkeeper and smiled, "How is it?" It's okay, right? ”

"Of course! That's great! Weidenfeller stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yi on the back and said, "Especially those two breakthroughs." ”

After Iniesta was substituted, Messi, who wore the captain's armband, walked up to Lin Yi and handed over his shirt.

"If I had to choose, I would actually prefer to lose the UEFA Super Cup." Messi's loss is hard to hide.

Looking at the lonely Argentine football king, Lin Yi did not show the slightest mercy.

"If our coach was Sebastian in the UEFA Super Cup, maybe you wouldn't have been able to win your second six crowns."

"Don't talk about it here! You guy, you have the energy to think about how to deal with Bayern. Neymar walked around.

"You don't have to worry about this, we have played against each other a few times this season, and we seem to have maintained a total victory."

Neymar "leaned" because he found that Lin Yi seemed to be saying the truth.

In the midst of all the anticipation, Barcelona's dream of defending the Champions League was shattered.

Borussia Dortmund, who have less than 10% of their support, won this crucial game and occupied the last place in the last four of this season's Champions League.

Although Paris Saint-Germain defeated Manchester City in history and rushed to the last four of the Champions League, it seems that there is not much attention and sensation for their historical moment, because everyone is talking about Dortmund's upset reversal and Barcelona's gutter overturn. Aside from that, they don't even get as much attention as Ousmane Dembele, who scored his first Champions League goal before the age of 20.

In the post-match press conference, Kyle didn't say anything grandiose, just expressed his satisfaction with the players, and said something very patterned, "The opponent is strong, but we had better luck today." ”

As for the reporters' questions later, Kyle didn't say anything that seemed gimmicky to the reporters.

The best player of the game was finally not given to Lin Yi this time, because Lin Yi was soft when he got this.

Reuss, who had a lot of key runs and passes in this game, won the award.

Although this game has passed, the impact does not seem to be over, because Barcelona's momentum this season was originally very fierce, and this loss was a big upset in everyone's eyes.

In the days that followed, the summer was a bit cold and made headlines in many mainstream media outlets to show the shock they felt when Borussia Dortmund beat Barcelona.

Looking at these headlines in the newspaper, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask Royce, "You said that if we really won the championship this season, what would they say?" ”

"Who knows? Maybe the cold snap froze them all to death, right? ”

Lin Yishen nodded approvingly, "It's very possible, I think we should give it a try." ”

It is also worth mentioning that with Barcelona's exit, Neymar's Champions League goal tally has been fixed at nine.

It's Real Madrid, in the game that beat Arsenal, they relied on Ronaldo's goal, and now Ronaldo has equaled Lin Yi's eleven goals, and the two are tied for the first place in the scorer list.

But for Lin Yi, these are not important, as long as the team can win, even if it is an own goal scored by the opponent, he will feel happy.

The thirtieth round of the league will not be postponed because of Dortmund's upset, on the contrary, Dortmund will need to deal with and arrange their line-up more seriously, as most of their main players need to get a proper rest.

Fortunately, Ousmane Dembele was strong enough to continue his strong performance in the Champions League, relying on a pass and a shot to help Dortmund score another three points, and still maintain a three-point gap with Bayern.

At this time, in fact, many people have already seen that maybe the ownership of this year's league championship will depend on the decisive battle in the 33rd round.
