Dortmund was unscrupulous in the backcourt and delayed time. In this way, they could still get cheers from the fans in the stands. Dortmund's fans even cooperated very well and counted how many balls Dortmund passed continuously...

This is at West** Stadium. If it were at Calderon Stadium, there would have been booing in the sky at this time.

Simeone's face turned pale when she saw it off the court.

He never expected Dortmund to be so shameless.

Let the team shrink their defense by themselves and don’t give Dortmund the opportunity to play a quick pass and cut.

Unexpectedly, Dortmund gave up his quick pass and cut and fell so hard in the backcourt.

If Atletico Madrid players don't go up, Dortmund's ball will never be passed up.

This is again at Dortmund's home court. The atmosphere of the court is completely biased towards Dortmund. Dortmund players will not feel any psychological pressure when they are so down.

But time will pass by minute by minute.

It would be impossible for him not to let someone push it out.

Simeone now feels that if no changes are made, Dortmund can really keep falling in the backcourt...

Thinking of this, Simeone had to make adjustments.

He lets the forward and offensive midfielders step forward to press, but the back line remains unmoved.

Of course, this will cause disconnection from the front and back, but at least it can break the current situation. As long as their defense line remains intact, even if they are disconnected, there will be no serious consequences...

※※※

Simeone's adjustment was quickly passed to the court, and Diego Costa no longer had to retract, but allowed the front pressure to steal.

Costa had been furious for a long time. Now he was like a tiger going down the mountain, pounced on Dortmund's defense line.

Other Atletico Madrid players also quickly followed.

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

Dortmund is not really going to delay time, but wants to lure Atletico Madrid players out and show up space that can be used by them.

After Atletico Madrid players pressed forward, Dortmund did not fall back and forth in the backcourt, but passed it cleanly and neatly.

The game can finally go on normally...

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

Fortunately, Curtull's second reaction was really fast, and Reus shot a bit straight, so the football fell into Courtois' arms.

In the 59th minute, Aubameyang kept getting rid of the angle in the penalty area and shot hard with his right foot, and the football was saved by Courtois again.

During this process, Atletico Madrid also organized some counterattacks.

In the 61st minute, Yan Min was cut off by the ball, and Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. They kept hitting the ball to the outside of Dortmund's penalty area. Finally, Cork made a long shot, but did not hit the strength. The ball was easily hugged by Weidenfeller.

"...Kork's shot is the first time Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper in this game! It's not easy!" Marcel Leif said. "It was only an hour after the game, a shot hit the goalkeeper in the game... So far, Atletico Madrid has been completely suppressed by Dortmund."

During the halftime break, Simeone said Atletico Madrid should be patient and wait for Dortmund to run out of energy.

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

You know, if the game ends directly, Dortmund is absolutely acceptable, but Atletico Madrid cannot do it.

They have to score goals.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was not much time left for them to score.

Now it is the 61st minute, Atletico Madrid has half an hour to score at least one goal.

But now, if you look at the game situation, no one believes that Atletico Madrid can score a goal in the game. It took 60 minutes to start the game, and only one shot was within the range of the goal frame...

How could such data and performance be able to score in the last thirty minutes?

You should know that as the game time goes by, the initiative in the game will gradually turn towards Dortmund, which is leading by three goals.

Dortmund can be more patient than Atletico Madrid.

To score a goal, you must make another change, at least you cannot get out of touch with the front and back of the game like this.

When defending, the impact may not be big, but it has a great impact on the offense. After attacking, I found that there were no teammates to follow up to support him, Atletico Madrid's offense would lack confidence and level, and it would be easily stopped by Dortmund.

Simeone naturally knew that if the attack becomes threatening, he had to invest more troops, and at least the two full-backs must go up and participate in the attack.

But in this way, there will be more space behind the defense line. He is worried that Dortmund will launch another fast attack style.

But he had no choice but to do this, otherwise he would return to home with a score of 0:3, and was eliminated early...

Simeone is also a bloody head coach. He decided to fight Dortmund to the death in the last thirty minutes!

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

※※※

Faced with Atletico Madrid's adjustments, Dortmund on the court also made targeted adjustments - they re-played the quick pass and cut style!

"Oh! Oh my God! Dortmund is fully fired again! It is very physically exhausting to play like this! I really doubt whether the Dortmund players are all robots, why can they still play like this?!" The Spanish commentator exclaimed.

Both sides attacked, but it was obvious that Dortmund's offense was even more threatening. They not only suppressed Atletico Madrid's offensive, but also threatened the goal guarded by Courtois.

In the 65th minute, Zhou Yi used his heel outside the penalty area to send a wonderful pass, and Aubameyang received the ball in the penalty area and turned around and shot!

The football bypassed Courtois's fingers, but it slightly deviated from the far post...

Two minutes later, Reus cut inside from the wing and suddenly made a straight pass. Mark shot from the penalty area and was saved by Courtois.

"Bortmond has won consecutive shot opportunities in a short period of time, and they all threatened Atletico Madrid's goal!"

Faced with Dortmund's aggressive offensive, Atletico Madrid can only use foul tactics to stop Dortmund.

In the 69th minute, Atletico Madrid's Brazilian midfielder Diego hit the latter's right side goal while competing for the top of the team. Sven Bend fell to the ground without getting up.

However, the referee only showed Diego a yellow card, but did not show a red card to send him off directly, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the fans on the scene, Dortmund players and coaches.

For a moment, the stands of West** Stadium booed loudly, and assistant coach Gerliko Buvac stood up and shouted to protest in the field - Klopp has learned his skills, so he doesn't come forward to do such things that may lead to punishment, and let his assistant do it. In this way, even if the referee wants to use Thunder methods to maintain his authority, the assistant coach is the only one who is sent to the stands, not him, and the impact on the team will be much smaller.

Buvac is also happy to be Klopp's "scapegoat". Everything is for the team's interests and the highest consideration. What's the big deal about him personally going to the stands?

On the court, Dortmund's players surrounded the referee Eriksen and stood up, believing that a yellow card was too light and should have a red card.

If Diego can be sent off with a red card, then Atletico Madrid's midfielder will lose the ability to organize the offense, and Atletico Madrid will basically have no chance to counterattack. Even if you win this game, Diego will definitely not be able to play in the next round, which will cause irreversible losses to Atletico Madrid's strength. By then, Dortmund will be relatively relaxed if he goes away...

Dortmund is playing this abacus.

However, there is a reason why the referee Erikson did not give a red card - Diego's arm naturally spread out after jumping up, hitting Sven Bend's face. This action itself was unintentional, and Diego did not intend to elbow, so it was already the limit to give a yellow card warning. If he met a referee with a looser penalty, he might not even give a yellow card, let alone a red card.

This penalty still affected the mood of Dortmund players.

Sven Bend then retaliated against Diego, which led to him receiving a yellow card, which would make him miss the second leg of the game against Atletico Madrid...

"Sven Bend's foul is not necessary, it's total revenge... There is no dispute about taking yellow cards. In this way, he will miss the second leg of Atletico Madrid. As the main midfielder and even the only defensive force, his absence has a great impact on Dortmund..." commentator Marcel Leif sighed.

Klopp on the sidelines was also dissatisfied with Sven Bend's foul, and he stood up and roared into the field.

Of course, it's not a swearing at the referee - that's probably Gericko Buvac - he's a swearing at Sven Bend. This foul of revenge is really stupid.
