Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth first round

When Sven Bend received a yellow card for revenge, the game had already entered seventy minutes later.

Atletico Madrid still shows no sign of scoring.

Simeone was restless on the sidelines and stood up and paced back and forth.

If you cannot score a goal, you will be able to return to your home court in the second round, and it will be difficult to play in the game...

Although Sven Bend's yellow card cast a shadow on Dortmund's victory.

But in addition to this, Dortmund's performance is still very good.

Under the control of Zhou Yi, Dortmund sometimes used quick passes and cuts to harass Atletico Madrid's defense line, suppressing them who were about to move. Sometimes he delayed the time in the backcourt.

In the 73rd minute, Dortmund won a free kick twenty-six meters away from the goal. Reus took the penalty. Instead of kicking the ball that was very high to bypass the goalkeeper, he unexpectedly kicked a ball, and the football rolled against the turf and headed towards the lower corner of the goal.

Courtois made another wonderful save, fell to the ground and flew to block the football from the bottom line.

In the 79th minute, Dortmund almost scored another goal. Yan Min, who was transferred to the right, made a cross from the right, and Mark jumped up on the small penalty area line and headed the ball against Juan Fran.

The football has successfully bypassed Courtois's fingers, but was ruthlessly blocked by the goal post!

"Post! Post! Oh! Mark's header hit the post! This is a very high-quality header! But in the end, Dortmund lost the opportunity to expand the score... If this ball enters, the suspense of the second round will probably be completely ended!" He Ping shouted regretfully.

Mark also seemed very disappointed. He knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and stared at the goal blankly. He couldn't believe that his beautiful header would be blocked by his home post in the end...

Then Klopp started to substitutions, and he replaced Sven Bend with a yellow card with Kyle. This was not for the purpose of protecting Sven Bend, but for Kyle to experience the feeling of fighting with Atletico Madrid, so that he had a basic concept for the second round of the game.

After Klopp substitutions, Simeone also made a substitution. However, he did not strengthen his defense, but strengthened his offense.

Of course he was unwilling to admit defeat just like this. He was a person who would never give up.

He made two substitutions in one breath, replaced Raul Garcia with Spanish international Villa and replaced Diego with Arda Turan. This is to launch a general attack.

Faced with Atletico Madrid, which has an aggressive offensive, Dortmund has to avoid its edge.

Under Zhou Yi's command, the team slowly recovered and launched a defensive counterattack.

During this period, Atletico Madrid also won the most shooting opportunities in the entire game.

In the 81st minute, Suarez made a cross and Villa headed the ball from the penalty area line, but the football went above the crossbar.

In the 84th minute, Gabby passed the ball high into the penalty area. Diego Costa headed eight meters in front of the goal, but the football top was too straight and was easily saved by goalkeeper Weidenfell.

In the 87th minute, Arda Tulan chose to shoot directly from outside the penalty area, and the football missed again.

Faced with Atletico Madrid's aggressive offensive, Dortmund made another adjustment.

Mark was replaced, and it was Groskreutz who formed a midfielder with Kyle to strengthen the defense in front of the back line.

At the same time, it is also convenient to fight back.

At this time, Zhou Yi did not let the football fall back and forth in the backcourt, which would increase the risk of being intercepted by Atletico Madrid players. Now, as long as there is a ball under his feet, he will pass the football forward and fight back.

Yan Min, Reus and Aubameyang, three players with speed and skills, and strong individual combat capabilities, have become all the hopes of Dortmund's counterattack.

However, Klopp has no requirements for whether these three people can score goals. As long as their counterattack can delay time, it will be fine if Atletico Madrid is afraid of it when they counterattack wildly.

This tactic was successful.

In the 89th minute, Yan Min almost created a chance to score in a counterattack.

At that time, he forced a breakthrough on the right side by speed and fought firmly towards Atletico Madrid's goal. After attracting Courtois out, he decisively chose to pass the ball instead of shooting himself.

If Aubameyang hadn't followed up in the middle, he had slowed down a little... the ball might have been scored.

Aubameyang threw out the center of gravity and wanted to tackle the football into the goal, but it was just a little short of it...

He passed by football.

"Aubameyang--!! Ahhh--!" Marcel Leif shouted in disappointment. "It's a little bit worse! Aubameyang didn't keep up with Yan Min's speed... This is really surprising..."

A huge sigh also sounded over the West** field.

Aubameyang looked incredible - he didn't believe he was the slower one...

Yan Min was also very disappointed, but at least he didn't complain about his teammates. He just slapped hard, looking very upset.

Although Dortmund's counterattack did not score, it really scared Atletico Madrid.

After that, when the game continued, Atletico Madrid's offensive obviously restrained.

The game has now entered injury stop time, and the injury stop time is three minutes.

It’s not that Atletico Madrid doesn’t want to score anymore, but that they are worried that they don’t score the ball and conced another goal...

The storm suddenly stopped.

In this way, the last few minutes of the game were spent in this calm.

When referee Eriksen blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Dortmund players were waiting on the sidelines to rush into the court with their arms wide open, cheering and celebrating the victory with their teammates.

And Klopp has not forgotten to shake hands with the opponent's head coach Simon.

The two of them had no communication, so they shook hands with each other, and then turned around and separated.

"The game ends! The game ends! Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home! Although all three goals were scored within fifteen minutes of the game, from the scene, Dortmund had an advantage almost in the whole game. If Courtois had not performed too well or the goal post was helpful, Dortmund should have scored more goals..." Marcel Lef shouted excitedly.

"3:0! Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid at home, and this score laid a very solid foundation for their second leg..." He Ping was also very happy. "With the away game with a 3:0 lead, Dortmund has more room to maneuver..."

Everyone is congratulating Dortmund on his victory. When looking forward to the second round of the two sides, they also believe that Dortmund has already gained the upper hand.

In the history of the Champions League semi-finals, no team has ever been able to reverse the second round with 0:3 in the first leg.

This historical record is very unfriendly to Atletico Madrid...

At the post-match press conference, Klopp said to the reporters with a smirk: "I said we have secret weapons, but you don't believe it..." He spread his hands and looked very helpless.

A group of reporters complained in their hearts: What do you know that your secret weapon was used before!

"I'm very happy that we were able to win with this score. I want to thank my players for playing all the training content in the game. They performed very well, so that we could win such a victory. Of course, although we were leading 3:0, we can't take it lightly. After all, there is still a round of competition..." Although Klopp was happy, he still did not lose his mind.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone first admitted that he was not prepared for Dortmund's "secret weapon" when attending the press conference.

"…Yes, we didn't expect... Honestly, it was very difficult after the opening. But I'm still proud and happy for my team, we were not completely defeated!"

Then he said with a tough attitude that it was not time to draw a conclusion.

"...We will not admit defeat. When we return to the home court, we will do our best to give our opponent a fatal blow. Atletico Madrid is a very combat-ready team, and we will prove this to the world!"
