Chapter 1047
The commentators who are familiar with Valencia's style of play know that as long as Valencia opens the scoring, the next game will be much easier to play, especially the top-level contest of the Champions League final, which does not leave any room for the opponent.

If Dortmund want to equalize the score, they must set the formation premise, and the sequelae of the formation premise is that there will be a large space behind the team's defense. For Aiello, who is extremely fast and has super personal ability, it is an excellent opportunity to help the team expand the score.

Despite this, Dortmund has no choice, because this is a Champions League final.

Even if it’s only halfway through the first half, Dortmund coached by Klopp still needs to put more energy into the offense. As the midfield hub, Gundogan will assume his position after the game restarts.

This is indeed the case. Gundogan's position premise has made Dortmund more opportunities, especially Royce and Blaszczykowski on the two wings. Both of them have a certain advantage in speed against Azpilicueta and Bernat.

As Dortmund's offensive became more and more fierce, the Dortmund fans who came to the scene became more and more excited. They kept shouting and cheering, creating a fanatical game atmosphere for the team, making them seem to be back at the Westfield Stadium, so as to play even better.

With the cheers of Dortmund fans, the offensive of Dortmund players on the field became more and more fierce, especially the performance of midfielder Götze and left winger Royce. Their ability to shoot suddenly made it difficult for Valencia's defensive players to defend.

Because the defensive players are destined to passively let go with the technical movements of the offensive players, they are destined to react a little slower. In addition, Gotze and Royce are both fast and able to run, and they have their own way of organizing offense.

At this time, fortunately, Valencia's starting goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei performed extremely well, making high jumps and low blocks to keep the goal clean.

But just after he finished his second passive and wonderful save, he complained to his teammates at the back about his dissatisfaction: "Concentrate! Concentrate, fucking focus on me, I can't let them take a shot calmly, OK?"

For Wang Xiaolei's dissatisfaction, the defensive players did not have any psychological resistance. In the past few years, we know that he is a goalkeeper who is extremely focused on the game. His reaction is completely based on the hope that the team will win.

With Wang Xiaolei's reminder in front of the goal, the defensive attention of the defenders became more concentrated.

Compared with the young Gotze and Royce, Valencia's defensive players have much more experience in the Champions League final than them, so it becomes easier to adapt to their style of play.

Coupled with Aiello's aggressive performance on the offensive end again, Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, was a little worried that the goal would concede another goal, so he asked the team to slow down the offensive rhythm in consideration of the team's overall strategic deployment.

Unless the opportunity is particularly good, it is necessary to move forward slowly in accordance with the rules, so as to avoid unnecessary conceded goals in the process of the team changing from offense to defense, because once two goals fall behind, it almost means that Dortmund loses the chance to compete for the Champions League!

Watching the changes in Dortmund, BBC commentator Lineker joked: "It seems that Klopp is still very afraid of Ai's existence, haha... If you don't look at the score, I believe every fan will think that the score is still 0:0 at this time."

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and asked the commentator Gary Neville: "Gary, what do you think?"

Gary Neville shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I think this is Klopp's solution. Everyone knows that Ai's speed and personal ability are superb. If the continuous attack fails to score a goal, but Valencia counterattacks and sneaks one, then it will be in big trouble. You must know that Valencia's counterattack conversion into goals in the past season is the highest in Europe... After all, the game is a 10-minute battle."

"Klopp's choice is mainly to keep Valencia's one-goal lead until the end of the halftime, so that he can make adjustments again during the intermission. The 45 minutes of the second half is the final battle!"

Lineker glanced at Gary Neville very appreciatively, nodded and said: "Gary's analysis is very correct. Now this Valencia team has distinct characteristics, and no team dares to take risks...Klopp's normal score is divided into two parts. It is a very correct choice."

With the return of Dortmund, Valencia once again took over the overall initiative of the game, Aiello began to take the ball more often, and Sven Bender, Piszczek and Feng Xiaoting, who played against Aiello head-on, felt more and more pressure.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller's attention continues to be highly concentrated, especially when Ai Luo is in possession of the ball. He is afraid that Ai Luo will suddenly explode during a certain period of time while holding the ball, thus playing an unsolvable world wave...

In the blink of an eye, the game entered 42 minutes. The score on the field was still that Valencia led Dortmund 1-0 with captain Aiello's goal, and Valencia, who was the leader, also led Dortmund in terms of ball possession rate, 66% to 34%.
Klopp standing on the sidelines was very nervous, especially after Sven Bender was shown a yellow card warning for using unconventional foul actions after being accelerated by Aiello, he stood on the sidelines and yelled, complained to the fourth official, and put pressure on the referee by the way.

However, his complaints did not have any effect, but instead attracted the attention of the referee on duty.

In this regard, Klopp can only admit cowardice, otherwise it will be over if he is invited to the stands...

Just when everyone meant that Valencia would enter the intermission with a score advantage of 1:0, Dortmund ushered in a surprise.

In stoppage time, Royce took a long shot without hesitation after receiving Lewandowski's header. The quality was very high, forcing Wang Xiaolei to make a wonderful save and Dortmund got a corner kick.

The referee looked at the time, and there were ten seconds left, so he planned to give Dortmund one last chance to attack.

According to the normal set-piece tactics, Dortmund's central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Hummels need to join the corner kick attack, leaving only the fast and short full-backs and full-backs to supplement the defense.

Gotze took a corner kick, and most of the defensive players focused on the taller Lewandowski and Hummels. As a result, the 1.8-meter-six Feng Xiaoting grabbed a header near the penalty spot, and the quality of the header was very high.

Even though Wang Xiaolei made a subconscious save, he still couldn't touch the football...
