Chapter 3092 Ten Hag is in a panic! Manchester City's terrifying dominance!
The big screen began to replay the goal.
It has to be said that the pass, run, stop, and shot were executed flawlessly!
Jesus was worth 8000 million euros at his peak.
His positioning, skills, and ability to seize opportunities are truly outstanding.
With the support of Manchester City's backline, he can unleash 120% of his fighting power!
Ye Chen looked at the celebrating Manchester City players and sighed.
Diaz didn't go to celebrate, but instead sidled up to Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, it looks like you guys are in for a rough night!"
Ye Chen sighed, "Your overall strength is still too great. Dortmund is far inferior!"
It's not about boosting others' morale while diminishing our own.
What he said is true.
In football, upsets are possible, but unpredictable outcomes are not.
Especially top-level competitions like the Champions League.
An upset is possible, but it's impossible for it to happen every time.
To be honest, it was already quite surprising that Dortmund managed to get past PSG this year.
After all, when the draw was first announced, everyone thought the semi-final matchup would be PSG vs. Manchester City...
Or Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich.
Anyway, nobody put Dortmund on the list of teams that will advance!
Of course, Dortmund had already pulled off a stunning upset against PSG before, so if they pull off another upset, it would be a bit unlucky...
Dortmund's last advancement was mainly due to their outstanding home performance, which resulted in a sweep of PSG.
They were treated to a Children's Day celebration.
But now that Manchester City has arrived, Dortmund has been completely dominated.
The difference in strength is obvious.
Most importantly, Dortmund hasn't made any changes to their tactics yet!
Ten Hag made his first substitution.
Mazraoui, who had a yellow card, was substituted along with Emre Can, and replaced by Dahoud and Mateu Morey!
Clearly, Ten Hag is not willing to gamble!
Manchester City remains inactive.
It's clear that Guardiola is very satisfied with the situation on the field.
Guardiola excitedly pumped his fist when Jesus scored.
Guardiola excitedly pumped his fist!
The game continues.
60 minutes 56 seconds.
Manchester City continued to probe the left flank.
However, Thiago Silva successfully intercepted the ball.
"Boom!"
The ball was passed directly to Morey, who had just come on as a substitute.
Murray quickly passed the ball to Bellingham in midfield.
Bellingham, who had the ball, saw Gundogan rushing towards him and immediately passed the ball sideways.
The ball passed, but the player was brought down.
It was a tactical foul without a doubt!
The referee, Kuipers, was right next to them, but he neither blew his whistle nor gave a card.
However, the ball rolled right to Dahoud's feet.
This is an advantageous position for the attack!
Dahoud, who had the ball, made a decisive long pass, directly targeting Ye Chen.
But it's wishful thinking to think that such an attack can break through Manchester City.
Ye Chen sped off at breakneck speed in the frontcourt.
However, goalkeeper Ederson rushed out and headed the ball directly out of bounds!
"Beep!"
Only then did the referee issue Gundogan a yellow card!
Guardiola then made a substitution, replacing Gundogan with Fernandinho!
He actually wanted to switch even before the foul occurred!
Fortunately, this was a dead ball opportunity, so we took the opportunity to switch.
The game resumes.
Dortmund's attack is very difficult to organize.
The main reason is that Manchester City's pressing in the attacking third was very effective.
Sometimes you have to admit it, it's all about high-pressing.
But Manchester City's pressing is much more aggressive.
Dortmund couldn't even pass the ball comfortably.
And every time they are under pressure, the first thing they do is cut off passing lanes.
It has to be said, these players have incredibly high football intelligence!
Is it higher sports IQ or higher looks?
Of course, everyone has also noticed the difference between Messi before and after his departure.
Although Messi has top-notch attacking attributes, as he gets older, his running ability has weakened, and he is less effective at pressing.
The main reason is that he's not as competitive as he used to be.
Therefore, Manchester City's pressure was never fully realized.
This is one of the reasons why Guardiola ultimately did not force Messi to renew his contract.
Messi is good and very strong, but he is no longer a good fit for his tactical system!
High pressing relies on constant movement.
Use physical strength to gain possession of the ball!
The current Manchester City team has clearly reached a new peak.
65 minutes 42 seconds.
Diaz made a through pass from the backfield to Foden on the left.
Foden may be short, but he has a stable center of gravity.
Even with Murray pressing from behind, they still didn't lose possession of the ball.
"Boom!"
A pass was sent back to Wang Chu, who had come forward to receive the pass.
Just as the ball was passed out, Murray bumped Foden from behind.
The referee saw Foden fall to the ground but did not blow the whistle, adhering to the principle of favoring the attack.
Wang Chu, who had the ball, advanced forward on his own, but Dahoud in midfield made a sliding tackle.
I wanted to stop the ball.
But the ball didn't touch the ball; instead, it knocked Wang Chu down!
Just as Dortmund fans were on edge, the referee didn't issue a card, but instead awarded Manchester City a free kick in the attacking third.
The fans were on edge.
This angered Guardiola on the sidelines.
"That's a tactical foul! Definitely a yellow card offense!"
The fourth official remained calm, saying, "We will give feedback to the referee, but please stay calm!"
Guardiola continued his tirade.
Kuipers ran straight to the sidelines and showed Guardiola a yellow card.
That’s the attitude!
No matter if you're a top head coach or a world-class player, don't try to teach me how to do things!
The game continues.
However, the flow of the game was clearly off.
They kick it here, and push it there.
Players from both sides frequently fell to the ground.
Ten Hag, standing on the sidelines, felt that such a scene was acceptable.
After all, he had already realized that Dortmund couldn't beat Manchester City, and if they continued to let Manchester City control the ball, Dortmund would probably be doomed.
But this is a home game. If they lose at home, what future do they have for the away game?
and so……
Ten Hag is getting a little anxious!
He glanced at the players on the bench, his mind racing.
Guardiola, on the other side, still showed no intention of making any substitutions!
Who gave them the lead?
71 minutes 24 seconds.
After receiving a pass from Wang Chu, Foden suddenly started his run from midfield.
Long-distance raid mode activated!
Faced with Morley's pressure, he immediately changed direction to the right and accelerated at the same time!
As they continued to advance, Dortmund's two center-backs quickly retreated.
Jesus and Mahrez on the right flank are also making high-speed runs forward, ready to receive the pass at any time.
But Foden, when he had the ball, had the courage of a "newborn calf not afraid of tigers".
Keep pushing forward!
They pushed the ball all the way from the center line to the edge of the penalty area.
Thiago Silva didn't dare to make a move easily, while Hummels kept a close eye on Jesus.
Just when everyone thought Foden was going to pass the ball...
His upper body began to sway!
A super beautiful fake pass, but then suddenly the ball was spun to the left.
The next second, he dodged the angle!
"Oh!"
He didn't pass the ball; he chose to trust himself!
It has to be said that this kid does have the makings of a top genius.
After all, geniuses always prefer to believe in themselves rather than their teammates...
Jesus, standing next to him, looked disappointed.
If he had passed the ball to Jesus, Jesus would have been one-on-one with the goalkeeper!
While I wouldn't say it's a 100% guarantee of a goal, there's a 70-80% chance...
But at that moment, the football flew towards the left side of the goal.
Onana in front of the door was instantly lifted into the air!
It was as if they had seen through his thoughts all along...
P.S.: Guys, do you think this Dortmund team in the book can beat Manchester City?
