The Dortmund "Borussia" team played brightly against Monterrey with their traditional quick passes and pressing in the middle of the first half, but they couldn't maintain that intensity for long. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
At the end of the first half and in the second half, the "wasps" (bees) believed that the opponent would not be able to equalize the score. As time passed, it can be said that their hopes were justified based on the final result.
The "Euro-Football.Ru" network gave a subjective rating to five players of "Borussia" for this match. As a result of this game, the Dortmund team reached the quarter-finals of the Club Champions League and will compete against Madrid's "Real". The maximum score is 10 (the rating was 6.0 at the beginning of the game). Seru Girassi — 8.5.
Lautaro Martinez had recently faced serious problems by not scoring in two games, but Seru Girassi took advantage of limited opportunities in the match against "Ulsan Hyundai". In the game against Monterrey, he scored a double and perfectly finished two chances in the first half.
His delicate touch with the ball and a refined finish in the first instance, followed by a powerful shot without excessive formality in the second, were impressive. Although he didn't reach a hat-trick or a poker, he had chances.
All six shots from "Borussia" in that game were credited to Girassi. Karim Adeyemi — 8.0. He provided two assists for Girassi and also collaborated well with Gross.
His contribution to defensive duties was not significant. For example, when a shot was taken at the "Borussia" goal, he did not attempt to block it. Judd Bellingham — 6.5.
He sparked an attack once in 55 minutes (before being substituted) — he could have been more effective in attack. Recently, due to receiving a yellow card, he will miss the quarter-final match against his brother. Niklas Süle — 3.5.
After the score was 2:0, and with no third goal scored soon after, "Borussia" began to give Monterrey opportunities. The Mexican team understood that they needed to make constant passes to the center.
Süle lost many duels, allowing opponents to get past him. He was dribbled past twice but also managed to recover two balls. Yulian Ryerson — 4.0.
He couldn't protect his wing from Corona. After that, there was a pass that led to a goal for Monterrey, and another goal could have happened.
On the other hand, Ryerson fought hard and provided an excellent assist for Adeyemi's goal. His pass was close to Bellingham's goal.
However, in defense, he often played like Süle, winning only one out of six duels. Author: Kirill Ivantsov
