The ball was thrown out of the way, and the opponent was in trouble.
Leo, who had already dribbled to the front of Dortmund's penalty area, raised his head slightly, wanting to see what was going on inside the penalty area.
Only Lin Jie was left standing in front of him, and Leo was slightly stunned.
This time, Leo, who was originally afraid of confronting Lin Jie head-on, had no choice.
With such a good opportunity, he had no choice but to take the risk and rush forward!
It was still uncertain who would win!
After cheering himself up in his heart, Leo chose to slow down slowly so that he could better display his extraordinary skills.
After taking a deep breath, Leo kept moving his feet, and the continuous bicycles tried to interfere with Lin Jie's judgment.
But Lin Jie has a defensive awareness of 91 after all!
Although Leo has shown his talent now, he is far from reaching his peak.
At this time, his movements are naturally full of loopholes in front of Lin Jie.
So Lin Jie also suppressed Leo's pace and pressed Leo to the bottom line.
Leo saw that Lin Jie was not shaken at all, and then saw that he was being pressed by Lin Jie, and he was also determined in his heart.
He wanted to use his powerful first step to pass Lin Jie simply and roughly!
But how could Lin Jie not have anticipated Leo's idea? At the moment when Leo was about to start, Lin Jie took a step to close the distance between the two sides, and then made a beautiful slide tackle!
But it was a pity that Lin Jie did not trigger the skill [Precision Slide Tackle] this time.
Instead, he kicked the ball directly out of the sideline with the toe of his right foot.
Although there was no chance of counterattack, it also brought an end to AC Milan's counterattack.
This time, AC Milan's best counterattack opportunity in the first half was resolved by Lin Jie.
This time, Lin Jie won the 1V1 real man battle!
But this still made the Dortmund players sweat.
Unexpectedly, the original penalty opportunity suddenly changed and almost turned into a goal, so in the rest of the first half, they chose to control the rhythm steadily.
Although AC Milan relied on this wave of counterattacks to play momentum and began to dominate the offense at the last moment of the first half.
But Dortmund's defense strength is still quite online.
Having just experienced the national derby with Bayern, the players are in a very good state and have not made any mistakes.
In this way, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1:0.
AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli was barely able to accept this score.
After all, Dortmund did not expand the score difference again, and several counterattacks were effective, but it was a pity that the last counterattack was defended by Lin Jie alone.
After the tactical change in the first half to high-pressure pressing, Dortmund's physical strength was constantly consumed.
He believed that after the second half, Dortmund's physical strength would definitely be a problem.
Good opportunities like Leo's in the first half will definitely appear again!
As Dortmund's head coach, Marco Rose was a little dissatisfied with the game on the field.
After all, his team got a penalty kick in the first half, but Haaland, the first penalty taker, didn't score!
Originally, the score difference could be expanded to 2 goals, and the second half could be more relaxed, but now there is only a 1-goal lead.
Fortunately, the last counterattack that made people sweat was resolved by Lin Jie.
Fortunately, AC Milan did not equalize the score in the first half!
He is also quite clear about the physical problems of his team.
He also knew that he couldn't just keep going on like this. If he kept insisting, it was very likely that his team would make mistakes in the second half due to lack of physical strength and thus lose the game.
So Dortmund's goal in the second half was to score as many goals as possible so that their team could be in a relatively safer leading advantage.
As for Haaland, who scored a goal, Marco Rose originally wanted to hold a meeting with him during the halftime break.
However, after seeing his fighting spirit and the encouragement from Dortmund players on the field after the goal, Marco Rose gave up the idea.
There was no need to put too much pressure on Haaland.
Later in the locker room, Marco Rose also emphasized Dortmund's tactics of grabbing the start in the second half.
The second half started again.
AC Milan kicked off!
AC Milan still took the relatively conservative attempt in the first half for this ball possession attack.
It was still AC Milan's strongest left-winger Leo and Theo who cooperated continuously and successfully reached the front of Dortmund's penalty area.
However, due to the presence of Lin Jie, Leo was a little weak. He did not choose to cut into the penalty area directly, but passed the ball back to Theo who was advancing behind him.
Theo Hernandez looked at Lin Jie who turned to rush towards him and was also a little weak. It was very dangerous for AC Milan if he was intercepted in this position!
However, Dortmund players blocked the passing line at several points where the ball could be passed, and it was difficult to pass the ball!
Theo Hernandez simply chose a long shot directly.
Obviously, this hasty long shot was not accurate at all and flew directly to the stands.
However, Theo Hernandez was slightly relieved, at least he did not counterattack after being intercepted!
Afterwards, AC Milan's players decisively returned to their own half, continuing the defensive tactics of the first half.
After all, it was just the beginning of the second half, and Dortmund's players' physical fitness was fully restored during the halftime break.
Under the instructions of head coach Stefano Pioli, they also knew that it was not the time to launch a full-scale counterattack.
They still needed to be patient!
In Stefano Pioli's prediction, Dortmund is likely to try to launch a fierce attack in the first 15 minutes of the second half, intending to expand the score.
As long as they hold on to these dangerous 15 minutes of the next game, the balance of victory will completely fall to them, AC Milan!
So after this attack was fruitless, they also decisively chose to shrink back to defense.
And Dortmund, due to the instructions of the head coach, naturally knew that they actually had some offensive pressure, so they were also quite invested in the attack.
So the counterattack came quite quickly!
In a moment, Dortmund's attack came to AC Milan's half!
This time the main attack point came to Dortmund's left side, the old rocket, Marco Reus!
Although Malen on the right side is relatively younger and more explosive.
However, the lack of experience made him face Dortmund AC Milan's Theo Hernandez, a top full-back who was still a little too young and could not pose a greater threat.
So this time Dortmund still chose their old captain Reus as the first explosive point to tear apart AC Milan's defense!
The penalty kick created by Reus before has already demonstrated his strength, so this time he is more assured to let him be the team's first main attacker!
