It would be better to exploit the psychological burden of their yellow cards; targeting them specifically would make it easier to find a breakthrough.
...
In the 79th minute of the match, after weathering Barça's relentless attacks, Dortmund finally seized an opportunity.
Gundogan sent a through ball into the space behind the defense, and Wang Shuo burst forward, chasing after it.
Just as he caught up to the ball and was about to knock it forward for a long run, Alves came flying in from the side with a sliding tackle, taking down both Wang Shuo and the ball.
This sparked furious protests from the Dortmund fans in the stands.
The Bumblebee players swarmed the referee, angrily protesting that Alves's challenge was too aggressive.
But the Barça players quickly retaliated, and the two sides even got into a heated argument, causing a temporary stop in play.
In the end, Caser gave Alves a yellow card and awarded Dortmund a free kick in the attacking half.
