At the end of the first half, the score did not change again.

Aston Villa temporarily led Dortmund 2-1 at home, with a total score of 3-1 in two rounds.

During the halftime break, Fang Jue first praised the players for their outstanding performance.

Afterwards, he did not forget to remind the players that two-to-one is not an insurance score.

"The Dortmund only needs to score one goal, which is enough to make us feel the severe situation and the huge pressure."

"We only need to score one goal, and the Aston Villa will be nervous and our chance will come." Klopp was also saying similar things in the visiting team's locker room.

"So, the key is that after the second half starts, we must score as soon as possible. The goal with a score of 2-2 is the most critical," Klopp continued.

"The most critical thing is the fifteen minutes after the start of the second half. We are based on defense during this period and avoid losing the ball." Fang Jue said.

"Strive to equalize the score in fifteen minutes!" Klopp said to his players.

...

After fifteen minutes of halftime break, the second half continued.

The whole game has been in 55 minutes, and the score on the field is still Aston Villa leads Dortmund 2-1 at home.

After ten minutes of the second half, Dortmund kept putting pressure on Aston Villa's goal, hoping to score soon.

Aston Villa's defense is doing quite well, and the defense line led by Clement did not give Dortmund any chance.

Two minutes later, Mane suffered back discomfort after colliding with Kyle in a fight.

Although Mane still wanted to continue to play, Fang Jue replaced Mane for the sake of security.

It was not Ha Mei who replaced Mane, but Shinji Kagawa.

Ha Mei will be suspended due to cumulative yellow cards when she receives another yellow card. The current situation is that Aston Villa has a great hope of advancing to the finals. Fang Jue will start to consider the finals. If Ha Mei is suspended due to cumulative yellow cards, this will have a significant impact on Aston Villa's preparation for the finals.

Shinji Kagawa, who had just started playing, seemed to be a little in a warm-up. After receiving Modric's pass, he chose to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic in front.

However, his intention to pass the ball was too obvious, and the pass was slightly weak, so the football was intercepted by Kyle in the middle of the way.

Oops!

Shinji Kagawa immediately turned around to catch up with Reus who had passed by Kyle.

It's too late.

...

Reus was fast, like a little rocket.

Clement went to intercept Reus, and the two teammates from Ibiza were very familiar with each other.

Clement was very careful about Reus' speed.

Reus also knew that this was the strong defensive ability of his former teammate.

At this time, Gundogan ran over.

Reus did not choose to force Clement, and he passed it to Gundogan who came to pick him up.

Gundogan did not make any adjustments after receiving the football.

The German midfielder didn't even look up and observed it, so he kicked the football again to Gotze, waiting in the middle.

Sendros immediately rushed towards Gotze.

He wanted to complete the steal while Gotze stopped the ball, but he didn't expect Gotze did not stop the ball, but instead pushed the ball with a arch and passed it out.

The one who received the ball was Blashchikovsky.

Blashchikovsky took two steps along the side road and made a cross!

Aubameyang wanted to head the ball in front of the goal, but he lost in the battle with Thiago Silva, and the football was first pushed out of the baseline by Thiago Silva.

Dortmund won a corner kick.

"Doormund made a beautiful counterattack, but unfortunately he failed to make a shot. Thiago Silva's defense is reassuring!" The commentator praised Dortmund's counterattack, but also did not forget to praise Thiago Silva's stability.

...

Gotze stood at the corner flag point and was ready to take the corner kick.

Dortmund's central defender Hummels and midfielder Kyle also came up to participate in the corner kick attack. Both of them are good at heading.

The whistle of referee Scormina sounded, and Gotze hanged the football into the penalty area.

Hummels, who was tall and big, jumped high, and he tried to rush his head to attack.

Someone jumped higher than him.

Sendros rushed in front of him and pushed the ball out.

In the top of the penalty area, Clement pushed the ball to Modric on his side.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! This is the opportunity for Aston Villa to fight back."

Modric directly sent a long pass from the diagonal line and directly looked for De Bruyne in front.

When De Bruyne received the ball, he turned around and passed Blashchikovsky, and then continued to drive straight in.

Klose suddenly stood up from his seat, leaned forward, and looked anxiously in the venue.

If Aston Villa takes advantage of the situation and attacks, they will be behind one to three. The difficulty for many Tymonds to turn the tables will increase by a factor of more than twice.

...

"Jurgen, the situation is not too bad. We have Schmelzer and the Greeks." Assistant coach Bouvage comforted Klopp. "It's really not possible. The Greeks can make tactical fouls."

Setting pieces are a rare scoring opportunity. Many Dortmund's headers, including Hummels and Kyle on the backline, went up to participate in corner kick attacks.

Now there are only Schmelzer and Papastasopoulos on the defense line.

"The Greeks have yellow cards!" Klopp spoke very quickly and scolded her in her heart.

Yes, Papastasopoulos received a yellow card in the first half.

Normally, when facing the opponent's counterattack, if you have two defenders, you can't stop them, you can go up and make a tactical foul.

Another defender was behind the team.

Because the player who fouled in front was not the last defender, it was impossible to get a red card directly, and only a yellow card.

The deal was still possible when a yellow card stopped the opponent's extremely dangerous counterattack.

However, what changed Klopp's face now was that the first one to meet was Papastasopoulos, who had the card on his body, and Schmelzer was in the back. This arrangement was problematic, and I don't know if there was no communication between the two defenders.

There was no time for communication between Papastasopoulos and Schmelzer.

Seeing De Bruyne coming with the ball at high speed, Papastasopoulos subconsciously met him.

He knew very well how terrible his former teammate was and had to stop De Bruyne from moving forward as soon as possible.

...

"Hang him, don't foul!" veteran Schmelzer hurriedly shouted from behind at this time. He also noticed the hidden danger of yellow cards on Papastasopoulos.

Papastasopoulos, who was originally planning to reach out and pull De Bruyne's jersey and use tactical fouls to stop Aston Villa's quick counterattack, heard Schmelzer's shouting, and the impatient Greek defender suddenly remembered the yellow card on his body.

In my heart, I cursed.

Papastasopoulos stretched out his hand and retracted it, and he dared not foul.

But if you don’t have a foul, how can you stop De Bruyne?

Papastasopoulos doesn't know the answer.

It was this moment of hesitation that gave De Bruyne a chance to break through and move forward.

He changed direction horizontally in the high-speed dribble, and then he moved past Papastasopoulos, and then accelerated and made a complete breakthrough.

Seeing that De Bruyne was about to break through, Papastasopoulos was also anxious. He knew what it meant to let the other party go there like this.

He no longer cared about the yellow card on his body and was about to commit a foul.

However, De Bruyne dribbled with a big stride and moved away from Papastasopoulos, whose hand stretched out did not touch De Bruyne's jersey at all.

"I've entered the penalty area!"

"Lewandowski is here too, two against one!"

Schmelzer was defending De Bruyne, and he had to be distracted to look at Lewandowski who was inserted on one side.

As long as De Bruyne passed the football across, Lewandowski faced the goalkeeper directly.

...

De Bruyne made a gesture to pass it to Lewandowski.

Schmelzer was deceived, and he subconsciously moved his pace towards Lewandowski.

However, De Bruyne buckled the football back and twisted his waist to make a breakthrough from this side.

Schmelzer was shocked and forced to turn around, but it was too late to stop De Bruyne from breaking through.

In panic, the German veteran reached out and grabbed De Bruyne's jersey.
