Chapter 3032 The real test will begin in 75 minutes!
With a two-goal lead, Dortmund cannot be said to have the victory in their grasp, but their advantage is undeniable.
Chelsea are starting to get anxious.
They launched a strong attack down the flanks.
While it may seem like there's an opportunity on the right side, there's actually no real chance.
So Chelsea started attacking down the left flank.
It was Mazrawi's turn to face the challenge on the right.
41 minutes 29 seconds.
Kovacic in the middle spotted Alonso on the left, who was now open.
He immediately passed the ball over.
Alonso, who had the ball, first passed it to Mount near the edge of the penalty area, and then accelerated towards the byline!
Mount, having understood the opponent's intention, executed a one-two pass, sending the ball between Mazraoui and Akanji.
Marcos Alonso ran out of space.
Although Mazrawi reacted quickly, he decisively made a cross with his left foot.
"Boom!"
The football, like an arrow piercing the clouds, evaded all the Dortmund players' interceptions and accurately found Werner near the penalty spot.
However, Delaney was always by his side.
With Delaney interfering, Werner missed his target and hit the stands.
"Thank you, Werner, for sending the plane!"
The comments were perfectly synchronized!
The reconnaissance aircraft lived up to its name.
They're only responsible for reconnaissance, not bombing!
43 minutes 55 seconds.
Dortmund advanced steadily, reaching the edge of the opponent's penalty area.
However, when Reina passed the ball to Reus on the right, Christensen intercepted it in advance and passed the ball directly to Kanté in midfield.
With no one marking him, Kanté decided to push forward on his own.
Chelsea launched a counter-attack!
But Reina, in the attacking midfield position, had already pounced on him.
Kante reacted faster, intercepting the pass with a penetrating through ball!
They were looking for Werner, the striker!
"nice shot!"
"It's all about speed and physical strength!"
On the field, Werner got the ball first.
However, Hummels was already in place.
There was physical contact.
But Werner, holding off his opponent, pushed the ball a small step to the right.
Just then, Onana, who was launching an attack, was also shaken off by this move.
But Hummels still didn't give up trying to harass him...
"Oh!"
Werner, having created space, slotted the ball into the empty net.
However, Onana blocked the near corner before falling, which forced him to shoot only at the far corner.
Akanji, who was chasing back, continued to approach the goal.
However, the ball grazed the post and went out of bounds...
Playing on the edge~~
"Oh dear! What a pity!" Sun Jihai couldn't help but exclaim, "It feels like a replay of Torres' goal!"
When Sun Jihai said that, everyone immediately thought of the Chelsea vs. Manchester United match.
Torres was incredibly stylish before taking the shot, easily getting past the onrushing De Gea.
But who could have predicted that after getting past De Gea, his shot at the empty net would go wide?
This ball is a bit different.
Before Onana fell, his body blocked the left near post, forcing Werner to shoot into the far corner.
However, he lacked confidence to begin with, and coupled with the nervousness on the spot, he missed the target!
He Wei sighed helplessly, "Werner is good in every way, but his shooting is just terrible!"
There are professional platforms that have compiled statistics on this.
Werner is slightly better at seizing opportunities; he could have scored at least eight more goals in the first half of the season!
But no one is perfect.
After all, you can't expect everyone to be as perfect as Ye Chen.
Actually, Ye Chen, who was far away, felt a little overjoyed when he saw Werner miss the shot.
Thankfully it was Werner; if it had been a stronger striker, Dortmund might have already been tied today.
Who says Werner is bad? This Werner is fantastic!
The first half ended with Dortmund leading Chelsea 3-1.
The camera panned to Ten Hag's face, where he greeted the players with a broad smile as they returned to the locker room.
Ye Chen was talking to the young player Reina, saying, "The passing can be even simpler..."
In fact, every match is a practical teaching lesson, and he hopes to help the young players grow as quickly as possible.
Only in this way will he know how to deal with stronger opponents in the future!
However, both Reina and Bellingham played very steadily today, and they didn't look like 18-year-old young players at all.
Keep in mind that this is a Champions League Round of 16 match. For them to start and put up such impressive stats, they are truly geniuses among geniuses.
He was only slightly inferior to Ye Chen when he was 17.
But not everyone can compare to Ye Chen.
Compare goods, and you will have to throw them away.
Comparing one person to another will lead to death!
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
Ten Hag, considering the immense physical exertion of Dortmund's players, had no choice but to adopt a counter-attacking strategy.
He also emphasized one point.
"A brief lead is not a victory; only those who laugh last laugh best!"
"It seems like we're leading by two goals, but they're in better physical condition and have had more rest, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down or be complacent in this next match!"
Everyone gets tired.
For this Dortmund team today, the real test will come after 75 minutes...
If we can withstand the pressure, then we've made it through!
If we can't hold on, we'll have to prepare for the 2021-2022 Champions League season!
"Beep~"
The second half of the competition quickly resumed!
However, Lampard didn't sit idly by; he immediately sent Ziyech, Pulisic, and Hudson-Odoi to warm up.
Ready to go on stage anytime!
Watching the Chelsea players warming up on the sidelines, the players on the field all felt a sense of urgency.
If they are substituted at this point, it means they are not performing well.
I'll definitely get criticized by fans after the game.
Fans, please stop criticizing!
With their wives, children, and fellow villagers watching on TV, they'd fight for their families even if not for the prize money!
48 minutes 31 seconds.
Chelsea pushed forward through the middle again, but after drawing the defenders away, they immediately passed the ball to the left.
This time, Mount took the initiative to move to the wing!
The number 16 boy with the ball quickly approached the penalty area.
At the same time, watch your teammates' positioning.
Kovacic made a determined run forward from behind right-back Mazraoui.
Seizing the opportunity, Mount played a through ball.
The ball found Kovacic, who had broken into the penalty area!
Kovacic looked at Onana's position and swung his left foot to hit her.
"Oh!"
The soccer ball flies towards the goal.
But Onana held his position and kept the ball out of the goal with both hands.
But the ball bounced back to Kovacic's feet.
However, Akanji was still standing in front of him.
Kovacic immediately passed the ball back to Mount, who had run into the penalty area.
"Oh!"
Then came another kick.
But this time, it was Delaney who had retreated into the penalty area who blocked his way!
However, the ball bounced back to the edge of the penalty area.
Jorginho wanted to stop the ball.
But the ball was too powerful, and Jorginho didn't stop it; the ball continued to fly towards Dortmund's left side.
With lightning-fast reflexes, Hazard intercepted the ball and immediately launched a long ball, aiming for Ye Chen in the attacking third.
Ye Chen immediately started it.
Dortmund has another chance to counter-attack!
