In the first half, after Monaco scored a goal, Dortmund tried hard to find an opportunity to equalize, but they failed to do so until halftime.

This made the players walk towards the locker room with heavy hearts.

The attackers, including Aubameyang, Shinji Kagawa, and Reus, showed no signs of happiness.

This was completely different from what they had expected before the match. Monaco was not just a small team in name only; on the contrary, their players were all very competitive.

Throughout the first half, Monaco's midfield delivered numerous threatening passes, and if it weren't for their double pivot midfield setup, their score might have been even worse.

Tuchel, equally serious, entered the locker room and began to outline tactics for the second half against Monaco.

In response to such a thorough counter-attacking strategy, Tuchel emphasized that the players must focus more on set pieces and corner kicks.

At this point, the score had fallen to a one-goal deficit. As he expected, the opponent would defend this one-goal advantage tightly, since counter-attacks often rely on this one-goal advantage.

On the other hand, although the head coach was also arranging tactics, the players looked much more relaxed.

This is the difference in lead; although it's only a one-goal lead, it's still very effective for the players.

Just when everyone thought the head coach would definitely arrange for them to stick to the defensive counter-attacking strategy, Jardim overturned everyone's expectations.

"In the second half, I require you to launch a strong attack on the Hornets right from the start and catch them off guard. As long as you're not exhausted, keep running."

"Counter-attacking has never been Monaco's tradition. This is the Westfalenstadion; don't you want to have a good time here?"

"Guys, be bolder. We're already in the quarterfinals, there's nothing to be afraid of. You've completely exceeded the club's expectations, you can play however you want."

Jardim deviated from his usual approach, no longer explaining things clearly to the players. Instead, he encouraged everyone to play with more passion, to play in their own best way, and to conquer Westfalenstadion with the results of their training.

.........

The roar of the Borussia Dortmund fans never stopped in the massive Westfalenstadion. It truly deserves its reputation as one of the most intimidating home stadiums in Europe, and it gave many first-time visitors a real taste of what passionate fans are all about.

They hoped to use this to fight alongside their players on the field and overwhelm their opponents with overwhelming momentum.

"Yibo, is this your first time in Europe too? The fans here are absolutely crazy, they really love their club!"

Chen Xiaoyun looked at the atmosphere of the fans in the stadium with admiration and said sincerely.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyun, I heard that foreign fans are like that. Football is a second life for many people, unlike in China."

"I didn't expect you to enjoy watching football, Miss Xiaoyun. Perhaps we could collaborate sometime. I think it would be quite impressive if you and Lei Ming did an advertisement together."

Zhai Tianlin looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said with a spark of excitement.

As the marketing director, he naturally has his own sense of people, and Rongsheng Beverage's outstanding achievements are the best proof of his strength.

Upon hearing his words, Zong Li, the chairwoman, couldn't help but glance at the actress Chen Xiaoyun, feeling that she and Lei Ming would indeed be a good match.

She nodded and invited, "Hmm, it seems like it's worth a try. Don't worry, Ms. Chen, we will definitely not let you suffer any losses in terms of advertising endorsement fees."

"Oh, is this really okay?"

Chen Xiaoyun felt it was all a little unreal.

How did she end up with an endorsement deal when she was just there to watch a football match? The key is that this endorsement seems to involve working with Lei Ming off the field, which makes her a little nervous. Her heart is pounding uncontrollably, and her voluptuous upper body is attracting the attention of countless men.

"Hehe, why not? Let's try it out later."

As everyone was talking, the players gradually returned to the field.

In the second half, Monaco's changes completely stunned Dortmund.

Tuchel, in particular, had been using this tactic for so long, but he never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat in this match.

From the start of the match, Monaco forced Dortmund into a fast-paced game through high-pressure, high-frequency pressing. After gaining possession of the ball, they launched wave after wave of attacks, leaving Dortmund completely bewildered.

In the 56th minute, striker Bernardo Silva received a cross from Barjoko and unleashed a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area. The shot pierced the goal guarded by Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Bürki, turning the sea of ​​yellow at Westfalenstadion into a backdrop for Silva's goal.

This World Cup goal was the first time that the noisy Westfalenstadion had suddenly fallen silent for a few seconds.

But after the silence came an even louder roar from Westfalenstadion.

Fans can accept the reality of the team falling behind, but they cannot accept their sudden and terrible defense. This was supposed to be a matchup where Weigl was supposed to defend, but he completely lost his position because he had just attacked too far forward.

It's laughable that a defense of only three could try to stop the attack of six Monaco players.

The one who must be most upset about conceding another goal is undoubtedly Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper, Bürki.

Seeing the opposing goalkeeper making incredible saves and defusing danger for his team every time, he thought to himself, "I could do it too!"

However, things changed completely when he faced attacks from opposing players.

First, the opposing player with insane speed caught him off guard, and then this player named Bernardo Silva delivered a stunning world-class goal that became the backdrop for his performance.

Without comparison, there is no harm. At this moment, he really wanted to dig a hole and bury his face in it.

The celebrations for Monaco ended, and the match resumed.

Once Dortmund recovered, they dared not be too aggressive in their defense, fearing that a slip-up would give the opponent another opportunity.

They should have been happy to face Monaco, who suddenly launched a strong attacking offensive in the second half. However, they found that they didn't have much time left in the game.
