Chapter 259 Targeted Arrangements

During the halftime break, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Blanc made an adjustment. This adjustment was not for Zhou Yi, but for Shaheen.

He asked the players to chase and intercept Shaheen and not let him get the ball easily or let him get the ball easily.

As long as Shaheen's forward passing route is cut off, Dortmund's offensive threat will be much smaller.

This is much more efficient than directly defending Zhou Yi.

Because in terms of personal ability, the current Shaheen is not as good as Zhou Yi, and the defensive difficulty is relatively less.

※※※

After the fifteen-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and played again without any substitutions.

Not long after the second half started, Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack, but they made mistakes in passing the ball in the frontcourt.

The football was intercepted directly by Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, who intercepted the ball, immediately planned to launch a counterattack, and Paris Saint-Germain naturally knew how powerful it was.

He Ying, who was chasing after him, hugged Zhou Yi from behind without hesitation and pulled Zhou Yi to the ground as if he was wrestling.

The stands booed again.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

Zhou Yi, who was put down to the ground by He Ying, spread his hands, looking helpless.

Then he saw He Ying's stretched out hand, and he was pulled up by He Ying.

Although He Ying acted very friendly, the referee still showed him a yellow card after coming up.

After all, he blocked Dortmund's great counterattack opportunity with a foul. Paris Saint-Germain was attacking at that time, and most of the players were pressing forward. If Dortmund's counterattack was successful, it might be able to directly threaten Siligu. He was guarding the goal, so He Ying had to foul.

This is a tactical foul, and such a foul deserves a yellow card.

He Ying has received a yellow card, but the Dortmund fans still continued to "serve" him with boos. They did not show any mercy to He Ying just because he and Zhou Yi are both Chinese.

"He Ying pulled Zhou Yi down and got a yellow card.

Think about it again in the first half when Yan Min received a yellow card for fouling He Ying... There was a lot of interaction between the three Chinese players in this game..." Although He Ying and Yan Min both had a yellow card. , but He Ping was quite happy when he talked about it.

This means that Chinese players are no longer marginal figures on this stage, but have become protagonists and attract much attention.

※※※

In the 51st minute, Dortmund almost expanded the score - Yan Min passed the ball back on the right side of the penalty area, and Zhou Yi, who followed, volleyed the ball 15 meters away from the goal without stopping!

The football hit the crossbar!

"oh!!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands.

The football that hit the crossbar did not fly out of the baseline, but bounced back.

It fell to the top of the penalty arc outside the penalty area. Nuri Shaheen picked up the ball there, but he was tripped to the ground by Lucas. The referee blew the whistle to suspend the game and gave Lucas a yellow card. , awarded Dortmund a well-positioned free kick.

When Paris Saint-Germain started to set up a human wall, the TV began to replay Zhou Yi's kick just now.

"Yan Min broke through beautifully and passed the ball beautifully, and Zhou Yi's shot was also very beautiful... But it's a pity that the football was blocked by the goal post..." Marcel Leif was very sorry. If this goal had scored, Dortmund would have lost the ball. Just equalized the total score.

When the wall was lined up, Shaheen took the free kick on Dortmund's side.

When the referee's whistle sounded, he took a run and kicked the ball.

The football successfully bypassed the wall and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Siligu was obviously disturbed by the human wall. He took off a little late and did not fly high enough. Although his arms were stretched as much as possible, he was still far away from touching the football.

He didn't even cover the door frame...

But the falling football hit the upper edge of the crossbar and bounced out!

"It's the beam again!!" Marcel Leif shouted. "Is this goal the goal of the Westfield Stadium? It has already prevented Dortmund from scoring two goals in less than two minutes!"

When the football hit the crossbar, he almost cursed - this was a live broadcast, and if he was watching the game in private, he would definitely curse at this time.

Two consecutive shots within two minutes hit the crossbar. It was impossible to vent his emotions without swearing.

The West ** Stadium was also filled with exclamations.

When many Dortmund fans saw the football flying towards the goal, they couldn't wait to raise their hands and want to cheer. In the end, they could only take pictures and put them on their foreheads...

Shaheen also held his head in his hands, unable to believe that he took such a great free kick, bypassing the wall and defeating the goalkeeper, but in the end he was defeated on the crossbar of his home court...

Some sensitive people are even wondering whether hitting the goalpost twice in a row is a hint from God, suggesting that they cannot win the game today...

※※※

Although his goal was threatened continuously within two minutes, Blanco did not choose a defensive tactic. PSG were still looking to attack, and the two posts gave them some confidence that luck was on their side.

Paris Saint-Germain knows very well that Dortmund is only leading by one goal, which is a very unsafe score, and the second half has just started. If they shrink their defense now and let Dortmund besiege them in the next game, then there will be ten chances in the end. Eighty-nine will lose the ball.

So Blanco chose to let the team play according to the previous tactics.

If PSG can score a goal, they can completely defeat Dortmund.

So far, Paris Saint-Germain still has the advantage. I believe that as time goes by, when there is less and less game time left for Dortmund, but the score still does not change, Dortmund will become more impatient.

At that time, it will be Paris Saint-Germain's chance to counterattack.

Under this guidance, although Dortmund had just hit the crossbar with two consecutive shots, Paris Saint-Germain did not retreat, but continued to play Dortmund at the previous pace.

In the 55th minute, Matuidi caused a foul on Grosskreutz, who received a yellow card.

During this period, the referee played cards very frequently. He seemed to feel that with the retirement of the game, the competition on the field became more and more intense, and he wanted to control this emotion.

Paris Saint-Germain used this free kick to pass the football into Dortmund's penalty area. Dortmund made successive clearances, and finally the football fell to Verratti's feet. Verratti took a long shot directly from outside the penalty area, but it went high.

But a minute later, Paris Saint-Germain won another corner kick. Verratti took a corner kick and Cavani headed the ball wide in the penalty area.

"Cavani's header! Missed! It was so dangerous..." Marcel Leif let out a long sigh.

"...It can be seen from this period of the game that Dortmund did not have the advantage. After the half-time adjustment, Paris Saint-Germain's performance was not bad. They have recovered from the panic after conceding the goal. …”

Paris Saint-Germain's offensive continued. In the 61st minute, full-back Jalai passed the ball. Lucas Jr. shot 25 meters away from the goal, but was blocked by center back Hummels. come out.

In the 67th minute, Paris Saint-Germain once again won a free kick in the frontcourt. Verratti took the penalty. After the free kick was taken from the right, He Ying in the middle jumped up and headed the goal, but it went wide again...

"What a danger, what a danger!" He Ping exclaimed repeatedly. "During this period, Paris Saint-Germain's offensive was too fierce, and they continuously got opportunities in front of Dortmund. Dortmund, who played at home, failed to suppress their opponents... Paris Saint-Germain's performance this season is indeed very good, and this seems to be their impact. This is the best opportunity for the semi-finals of the Champions League, and they will definitely not be willing to stop at the top eight!"

Klopp on the sidelines was also anxious when he saw Paris Saint-Germain's continuous attacks. He shouted on the sidelines and asked Shaheen to connect the midfield and frontcourt.

Zhou Yi played as a midfielder in this game, and he had to be in the front, so the task of transporting the football from the back to the front was naturally given to Shaheen.

If Shaheen can't put the ball up, Dortmund will always be surrounded by Paris Saint-Germain...

Just like this time, the situation has been very unfavorable for Dortmund.

When Klopp was anxiously directing the game from the sidelines, Blanc was next door, hands in his pockets, watching the game, everything under his control.

His halftime adjustments worked.

He looked up at the big screen, which showed the time of the game. It was the 68th minute of the game. It was almost seventy minutes. There was not much time left for Dortmund...
