The scouts at the scene began to refine their records of Andy!
From describing the technical characteristics of a left-back to his occasional role as a winger.
From right-back to now!
One surprise after another!
Everyone knows very well what an all-around full-back means!
In today's football world, this is a golden talent.
No, it's a gold mine!
He will definitely become a mainstay of top teams in the future!
While the price is still low.
Buy it back and continue to train it; even if you don't use it, you can make a fortune by reselling it!
On the pitch, the morale of the Benfica players became very delicate.
In a two-legged match, conceding one or two goals can be nerve-wracking.
However, three or more will not cause any major harm.
When a person is free from the fear of gain and loss, they become exceptionally resolute.
The saying "a desperate army is bound to win" perfectly illustrates this principle!
So for them, whether they can turn the tide or not is not a consideration!
But they must save face with a goal!
After the restart, Benfica's players were completely unleashed!
Frequent clashes broke out on the field!
With several yellow cards in quick succession, Benfica requested a substitution!
Mitroglou, who was leading the attack, was substituted.
The substitute is Raul Jiménez, a tall center from Mexico!
Portugal's forward Pizzi was substituted, and Moroccan international Caser González replaced him.
The purpose of making two substitutions is obvious: to strengthen the attack!
Even Tuchel on the sidelines had to admire his opponent.
To continue attacking in this situation is to die standing up!
However, the ideal is often far from perfect.
Reality, however, is far from the truth!
The Borussia Dortmund players have absolutely no intention of giving up!
They launched a siege on Benfica in the second half!
In the 64th minute, Andy launched a long diagonal pass from midfield to Reus on the left wing!
The latter cut inside laterally and shot wide.
Three minutes later, Andy delivered another cross from a 45-degree angle!
Aubameyang's attempt to get a shot off in front of goal was saved.
"Andy is still sprinting!"
"You have so much stamina!"
"His offensive performance today was better than his defensive performance; his goals and assists are the best proof of that."
Zhang, standing beside him, agreed!
"Andy's stamina is truly amazing!"
"It's been over 70 minutes and they're still sprinting.Shouldn't we invite them back to the national team to share their experience, haha!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Jun nodded subconsciously and added:
"If they can maintain this level of performance, I think the final round of qualifying for the World Cup should be no problem."
A few minutes later, Benfica had an opportunity!
By surrounding and attacking Andy's side, the ball was successfully intercepted!
Launch a counterattack!
Renato nutmegged Sahin and then drove straight in!
A lobbed pass from outside the penalty area into the box!
Hummels cleared the ball without hesitation!
Gaitan, who was originally on the left, somehow ended up on the right!
Follow up with a follow-up shot!
"Burki!"
"Block the ball with your foot!"
"A miraculous save!"
"If Gaitan's shot had been just a fraction more off target, it might have gone in."
"He actually moved the ball from the left to the right."
Where did Andy go?
Then, slow-motion replay revealed the truth.
Casera, who came on as a substitute on the right wing, switched positions with Gaitan!
Andy then abandoned Gaitan and instead focused on defending the latter.
The truth has come out!
This attack also gave Benfica some inspiration!
In the 78th minute, Gaitan again received the ball during a counter-attack.
Sahin couldn't keep up with his pace, and Andy's attempt to cover was thwarted by the opposing full-back's overlapping runs.
Gaitan created space outside the penalty area and decisively unleashed a long-range shot!
Ten points!
Bürki could only watch the ball helplessly!
"This time it's a success!"
"World wave!"
"Argentine international!"
"Nicholas Gaitan!"
"That shot was incredibly powerful!"
After scoring, Gaitan didn't celebrate; he went straight for the goal!
However, Bürki held onto the ball and didn't want to pass it to him.
The two then clashed in the penalty area!
A head-on confrontation!
Players from both sides surrounded them, and a conflict was imminent!
Captain Hummels separated the two and tried to reason with them.
No sooner had he opened his mouth than Andy rushed up from behind!
He shoved Gaitan aside!
Gaitan became an instant sensation!
He shoved Andy backhand as well.
Just then, the referee arrived!
Andy stumbled backward and fell onto the grass!
Gaitan: .
Not a buddy!
I didn't even push you, what are you acting for?
However, the fans at the scene were very unhappy to see this!
When the referee gave only a verbal warning, boos immediately erupted!
Especially Comrade Lao An on the high platform.
"I'm going to use password number 10!"
"You're using a password to score a goal!"
"I ￥#...%￥&...￥%."
Wang Ciao, who was standing to the side, didn't even hear a word!
How beautiful the Chinese language is.
In fact, Andy had no intention of using such a trick!
He really lost his balance!
This match has been going on for almost 80 minutes, and it's the most physically demanding match we've seen in a while!
Every sprint is a true testament to giving it your all!
And there was also physical contact with the other party.
Even an elephant would be panting heavily when it comes!
Tuchel finally made a substitution on the sidelines.
Reus, Kagawa, and veteran Sahin were substituted.
The substitutes were Pulisic, Ginter, and Moritz, who returned from loan.
After the restart, Andy completely shut down Gaitan!
The person was like a second shadow of the other person!
Whether Gaitan is making runs or passing the ball, Andy always manages to interfere!
As time entered stoppage time.
The stadium was filled with the chants of Dortmund fans, leaving the visiting team players physically and mentally exhausted.
Benfica has essentially given up!
The most active player on Dortmund's side is Pulisic, who has only recently made his debut!
They kept attacking Benfica's left flank defense.
In the 93rd minute, Gaitan was tackled from behind by Andy.fall!
The referee did not award a penalty!
After getting up, Andy saw an endless expanse in front of him and decisively sprinted with the ball!
That feeling of hitting a plateau during physical training has returned!
Andy let out a low growl!
My blood is churning!
Let him be strong!
I'm the king of physical strength!
Witnessed by the fans in the attacking third, Andy dribbled the ball all the way to the byline!
Facing the help defense from Jardal.
A slight dribble!
I'm going to eat you alive!
Already carrying a yellow card, Jardel didn't dare to reach out recklessly, but he still managed to make Andy stumble!
Goalkeeper Cesar quickly closed in!
Another center-back, Lindelof, also moved closer!
If Andy wants to shoot the near post himself.
It will most likely fail.
But Andy was never a reckless man!
Regardless of whether there are teammates supporting the mid lane.
Just send it!
Lindelof, Cesar, and Jardel all turned their attention to the ball.
A figure appeared near the penalty spot!
It was Pulisic!
Faced with such a brilliant pass, he certainly wouldn't miss it!
A right-footed shot into the far corner!
Goal!
"6:2!"
Pulisic has scored his first goal for Borussia Dortmund's first team!
"Andy was the one who provided the assist for him!"
"This is his third assist of the game!"
"He's pulled off a hat trick of assists!"
"From the very beginning, nobody thought Andy still had the stamina to sprint."
"I can't believe he managed to shake off the defender and dribble all the way to the baseline!"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh:
"Exceptional talent and unwavering willpower!"
"It's something you're born with!"
"No one else can learn this."
