Dortmund unscrupulously poured their feet at the back, stalling for time, and just like that, they were able to get the cheers of the fans in the stands. Dortmund fans even cooperated very well to count the number of foot balls Dortmund passed in a row......

This is also at West** Field. If it had been at Calderón Stadium, I am afraid that the boos would have been loud in the sky at this time.

Simeone's face turned blue as he watched from the sidelines.

He never thought that Dortmund would be so shameless.

Let the team shrink the defense and don't give Dortmund the opportunity to play a quick pass.

Unexpectedly, Dortmund would give up the quick pass and cut so backwards in the backfield.

Atletico Madrid's players don't go up, and Dortmund's ball definitely doesn't go up.

This is Dortmund's home stadium again, and the atmosphere in the stadium is completely biased towards Dortmund, and the Dortmund players will not have any psychological pressure when they are so down.

But time passes like this.

He can't let people out.

Simeone now feels that if they don't make changes, Dortmund can really just keep falling at the back......

Thinking of this, Simeone had to make adjustments.

He sent the forward and attacking midfielders forward to press, but the back line remained untouched.

Of course, this will cause a disconnect, but at least it will break the current situation. As long as their backline remains intact, even if they are disjointed, there are no serious consequences......

※※※

Simeone's adjustment was quickly passed to the court, and Diego Costa didn't have to retract anymore, allowing a forward tackle.

Costa had already been holding back the fire in his belly. This time it was like a tiger descending from a mountain, pounced on Dortmund's backline.

Other Atletico Madrid players quickly followed.

They pressed forward, and after the formation was pulled apart, there were some gaps behind them.

Dortmund don't really want to stall for time, but want to lure the Atletico Madrid players out and create space that they can exploit.

After the Atletico Madrid players pressed forward, Dortmund did not go back and forth in the backfield, but passed forward cleanly.

The game can finally go on normally......

In the 55th minute, Yan Min passed the football into the penalty area, Courtois attacked but failed to hit the football far, the football fell to the edge of the penalty area, and Reus followed with a shot.

Fortunately, Courtois's second reaction was really fast, and with Reus's shot a bit right, the football still fell into Courtois's arms.

In the 59th minute, Aubameyang fired a right-footed shot after getting rid of angles in the penalty area, and the ball was saved by Courtois again.

In the process, Atletico Madrid also organized some counter-attacks.

In the 61st minute, Yan Min's dribbling was broken, and Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack, and they played the ball all the way to the periphery of the Dortmund penalty area, and finally Koke came with a long-range shot, but it did not hit the power. The football was easily held by Weidenfeller.

“...... Koke's shot was Atletico Madrid's first shot in the woodwork of the game! "It took an hour before a shot hit the woodwork...... So far in this game, Atletico Madrid have been comprehensively suppressed by Borussia Dortmund. ”

※※※

Simeone said at half-time that Atletico Madrid should be patient and wait for Borussia Dortmund to run out of fitness.

But he miscalculated the situation, and it was not Atletico Madrid who needed patience, but Dortmund, and time was not on Atletico Madrid's side.

You know, at this score, if the game ends directly, Dortmund is absolutely acceptable, but Atletico Madrid can't.

They have to score.

But the minutes ticked by, and there was not much time left for them to break the goal.

It's now the sixty-first minute, and Atletico Madrid has half an hour left to score at least one goal.

It's just that if you look at the situation now, no one believes that Atletico Madrid can score in the game. In the opening 60 minutes, there were only four shots on goal, and only one hit the woodwork......

With such statistics, such performances, how can you score in the last 30 minutes?

You must know that as the game time passes, the initiative of the game will gradually fall to Dortmund, who have a three-goal lead.

Borussia Dortmund can be more patient than Atletico Madrid.

If you want to score, you have to make a change, at least not in this way.

When defending, it may not have much impact, but it has a great impact on the attack - after attacking, it is found that there are no teammates behind to follow up to receive support, and Atletico Madrid's attack will lack confidence and level, and it will be easily stopped by Dortmund.

Simeone, of course, also knew that in order to make the attack threatening, it was necessary to invest more troops, at least the two full-backs must go up to participate in the attack.

Only then will there be more space behind the backline, and he is worried that Dortmund will once again launch a quick attacking style of play.

It's just that he has no choice but to do this, otherwise returning home with a score of 0:3 will not be much different from being eliminated early......

Simeone, who is also a bloody manager, has decided to fight Dortmund in the final 30 minutes!

So he waved his hand and let Atletico Madrid take the initiative.

※※※

In the face of Atletico Madrid's adjustment, Dortmund on the pitch also made targeted adjustments - they restarted playing fast passing!

"Oh my God! Dortmund is firing on fire again! It's very physically exhausting! I wonder if the Dortmund players are all robots, why can they still play like this?!" exclaimed the Spanish commentator.

Both sides attacked, but it was clear that Borussia Dortmund were the more dangerous attack, not only stifling Atletico Madrid's attack, but also threatening Courtois's goal.

In the 65th minute, Zhou Yi sent a wonderful pass with his heel outside the penalty area, and Aubameyang received the ball in the penalty area and turned to shoot!

The ball got around Courtois's finger pass but went just wide of the far post......

Two minutes later, Reuss cut inside down the flank and Marc fired a shot from inside the box that Courtois saved.

"Borussia Dortmund had a succession of good chances on goal in a short period of time and they all threatened the Atletico Madrid goal!"

In the face of Dortmund's aggressive attack, Atletico Madrid can only use foul tactics to stop Dortmund.

In the 69th minute, Atletico Madrid's Brazilian midfielder Diego elbowed Sven Bender to the right side of the goal when he was fighting for the latter's head, and Sven Bender covered his face and fell to the ground.

However, the referee only showed Diego a yellow card, but did not show a red card and sent him off directly, which caused dissatisfaction among the fans and Dortmund players and coaches.

For a while, there was a loud boo in the stands at Wester** Stadium, and assistant coach Gerliko Bouácz stood up and shouted a loud protest to the field - Klopp has learned well, and this kind of thing that may incur punishment will not be done by himself, let the assistant do it. In this way, even if the referee wants to use thunderous means to maintain his authority, it is only the assistant coach who is sent to the stands, not him, and the impact on the team is much smaller.

Bwach is also happy to be Klopp's "scapegoat", everything is for the best interests of the team, so what's the big deal about him personally in the stands?

On the pitch, Borussia Dortmund's players surrounded referee Eriksen and argued that a yellow card was too light and should have been red.

If Diego can be sent off with a red card, then Atletico Madrid's midfielder will lose the ability to organize the attack, and Atletico Madrid will basically have no chance to fight back, and the game will be won. At the same time, in the next leg, Diego will definitely not be able to play, which will cause irreparable damage to the strength of Atletico Madrid, and Dortmund will be able to go away at a relatively easy time......

Dortmund is playing with such calculations.

However, the referee Eriksen did not give a red card, of course, there is a reason - Diego jumped up and naturally spread his arms and hit Sven Bender in the face. The action itself was unintentional, and Diego had no intention of deliberately elbowing, so giving a yellow card warning is already the limit, and if you run into a referee with a more lenient penalty scale, you may not even be given a yellow card, let alone a red card.

The decision still affected the mood of the Borussia Dortmund players.

Sven Bender then received another retaliatory foul on Diego, which resulted in him also receiving a yellow card that would have left him out of the second leg against Atletico Madrid......

"Sven Bender's foul is unnecessary, it's all revenge...... There is no dispute about receiving a yellow card. As a result, he will miss the second leg against Atletico Madrid, and as the main and even the only defensive force in the Dortmund midfield, his absence will have a very big impact on Dortmund......" sighed the commentator Marcel Leef.

Klopp, who was also unhappy with Sven Bender's foul, stood up and roared into the field.

Of course he wasn't scolding the referee – in that case it would have been Gélico Bouácz – he was scolding Sven Bender, and the retaliatory foul was stupid.

What should have been a flawless victory was suddenly overshadowed by this yellow card......
