Dortmund indeed picked up the pace and rhythm right from the start of the match.

This was completely different from the first leg, where they were slow to get into the game.

Just four minutes into the game, Dortmund had an opportunity. Reus crossed from the left side of the penalty area, and Mark got to the ball first at the near post, taking a shot that was blocked by Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian center-back, Thiago Silva, out for a corner.

The ensuing corner kick was punched away by Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper, Sirigu.

The ball fell outside the box, where Sven Bender followed up with a long shot, but the ball went high...

Then, Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack, and the ball was passed to He Ying.

As soon as He Ying got the ball, Yan Min slammed into him.

If He Ying's physical condition hadn't been good enough, Yan Min might have knocked him to the ground.

But even so, He Ying staggered and had to readjust the ball, unable to take the opportunity to charge at Dortmund's defense.

Paris Saint-Germain lost their chance for a fast break.

He Ying had to stabilize the ball again and then pass it out.

Then he looked back at Yan Min.

This person should be considered his junior, but he had risen through the ranks very quickly at Dortmund, like a rocket, and was now a key player in the national team.

He had only had contact with Yan Min in the national team.

However, he had heard Zhou Yi mention this person privately, and knew that he was a very motivated person who didn't seem to be easily discouraged.

Full of energy...

He Ying could tell from that collision.

He remembered that in the last game, Yan Min mainly played on the left wing, right?

Today he had switched to the right wing... was he specifically trying to deal with him?

※※※

In the ninth minute, Dortmund had another good attacking opportunity.

Zhou Yi sent a diagonal long pass, transferring the ball to Reus.

Because Yan Min had a heavier defensive responsibility in this game, Dortmund mainly attacked on Reus's side.

Reus did not disappoint the team's trust in him.

After getting the ball, he feinted a shot and then suddenly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Then he shot directly!

The ball was touched by Jallet, who was tracking back, changing direction and looping over goalkeeper Sirigu, but also over the crossbar...

"Oh! That was close!" The French commentator sighed in relief. "Since the start of the match, Dortmund's attack has been very fierce, and Paris Saint-Germain can only defend passively. This can't go on..."

Marcel Reif praised Reus's form: "From the attacks since the start of the match, we can see that Reus is in very good form today. His activity is definitely good news for Dortmund. Such a fierce attack relies on attacking players like Reus to achieve..."

Reus's outstanding performance did create dangerous situations in front of the Paris Saint-Germain goal, and it also made Dortmund fans very excited, as they sang songs they had made for Reus.

They hoped that Reus could score goals for the team with their cheers.

But just as everyone was looking forward to it, an accident happened on the field!

In the seventeenth minute, Reus broke through on the wing. After accelerating and shaking off space, he passed the ball towards the goal.

This was originally a very ordinary action, and everyone's attention shifted to the center with the ball.

Mark didn't get to the ball in front of the goal, and the ball was headed out for a corner by Thiago Silva, who was tracking back.

The next thing should be a corner kick, right?

No.

While looking around, Zhou Yi saw Reus suddenly sitting on the ground, clutching his calf, frowning, and also raising his hand.

Zhou Yi immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong with Reus's body.

So he quickly signaled to the referee, reminding him to look at Reus's position.

After hearing his reminder, the referee also noticed the situation.

So he blew his whistle to stop the game, indicating not to take the corner kick yet. Then he ran towards Reus and bent down to ask about his condition.

"This... Reus suddenly sat down after completing the cross, and looking at his action of rubbing his calf... could it be a calf muscle strain?" Marcel Reif said worriedly.

The previously bustling Westfalenstadion also quieted down, and many Dortmund fans looked at each other, and then looked at the field with concern.

Klopp also looked very nervous, he jumped up from his seat and rushed to the sidelines. If he wasn't the team doctor, he would have rushed onto the field right now and ran to Reus on the other side to ask him what was wrong.

At this time, Dortmund's team doctor, Dr. Braun, ran onto the field with his assistant, Cortana.

This wasn't the first time Cortana had appeared in a match.

Remember when Cortana first appeared in a match, the commentators introduced that she was Zhou Yi's girlfriend, and Mark Wagner's sister, Zhou Yi had once stayed at Mark's house for a year, maybe the two of them sparked at that time...

The introduction was very detailed, fully illustrating that even sports commentators have a gossip heart like entertainment reporters.

Cortana often appeared in matches, sometimes running onto the field with Dr. Braun like this to assist him in examining and treating players. But most of the time she just sat on the bench, and close-up shots would take care of her from time to time. Who told her to be so beautiful? She was also a beautiful sight on the sidelines of the match...

However, every time the camera scanned over, the commentators wouldn't say much, at most they would say "Cortana, Zhou Yi's girlfriend" to those viewers who might be watching a Dortmund game for the first time.

As for more information, they didn't say much.

Because it was meaningless to repeat those gossips over and over again.

※※※

After Braun came on the field, he asked Reus about his specific situation, and Reus gave the answer: "Calf muscle pain..."

Braun frowned, thinking that it was most likely a muscle strain.

The same problem as Ibrahimovic in the previous game.

He definitely wouldn't be able to continue in this game.

So he had Cortana make a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

"Ah, the Dortmund team doctor made a substitution gesture... Dortmund is going to make a substitution! Reus can't hold on any longer..."

"Dortmund hasn't had a player injured for a while, everyone seemed to think that Dortmund had finally turned around... now it seems that injuries still haven't let Dortmund go..."

"I don't know what Reus's injury is like, guessing it should be a muscle strain. Then referring to Ibrahimovic's situation, he may also be absent for four games. With only five rounds left in the league, this is no different from the end of the season. What's especially deadly is that the next game is Dortmund against Bayern Munich, Reus is very likely to miss that game. That's the biggest bad news for Dortmund..."

"Reus's performance this season has been very outstanding. After Gotze and Lewandowski left the team, he has been constantly creating threats on the wing, helping the team to victory. He is an indispensable force in Dortmund's attacking lineup..."

The commentators expressed their regret for Dortmund and Reus.

Not to mention the game against Bayern Munich, just in this game right now, when Dortmund needed to score goals, Reus was injured and left the field after eighteen minutes, which was definitely a heavy blow to Dortmund's attacking strength.

What to do next?

Many people were worried about this.

※※※

Soon, Reus stood up from the ground with Braun's support, and then tried to walk two steps, shaking his head at Dr. Braun.

So Dr. Braun supported him and walked towards the sidelines together.

At the same time, Dortmund's assistant coach, Buvac, was giving instructions to Nuri Sahin, who was about to come on.

Since Kuba was also injured, Dortmund basically had no reserves on the wing. Originally, Grosskreutz could also play this position, but in this game he had already filled in for Piszczek at right back, so naturally he couldn't fill in at right winger again. It can be said that there wasn't a single winger on the bench.

So Klopp could only make a big shift within the current lineup.

He had Sahin come on, adding a defensive midfielder, which seemed unrelated to Reus's position.

But doing so was to allow Aubameyang to go to the wing.

When Aubameyang first came to Dortmund, he did play on the wing, but later, as Yan Min's performance got better and better, occupying the starting position, it was impossible for Aubameyang, who was also performing well, to go to the bench, right? So Klopp had Aubameyang play as a forward, partnering with Mark, so that Dortmund changed from the previous 4231 to 442.

Now, it was just returning to the previous formation.

If Sahin partnered with Sven Bender to play as a defensive midfielder, Zhou Yi would be pushed up, becoming an attacking midfielder closer to the opponent's goal and penalty area.

This position was not unfamiliar to Zhou Yi. Before Kagawa Shinji came, he had always played this position. Later, after Kagawa Shinji left, he also returned to the attacking midfielder position. If Yan Min hadn't performed so well, he wouldn't have partnered with Sven Bender to play as a defensive midfielder.

※※※

As Reus limped off the field, Sahin ran onto the field from the other side.

He called out the name of his teammate Aubameyang, and then made a gesture for him to go to the wing, and Aubameyang knew what was going on.

"Reus was replaced by Sahin due to injury, Klopp has brought on a defensive midfielder, it seems that even the team's formation will be adjusted..."

"Now I don't know if Reus's injury will become a turning point affecting the final result of the game, but if it is, it must be turning in a direction unfavorable to Dortmund..."

The commentators expressed their concern about Dortmund's future fate.
