Borussia Dortmund won the first leg of semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, 1-0 with PSGthrough the goal scored by Niclas Fullkrug (31 years old), in the 36th minute of the game.

Ilie Dumitrescu (55 years old) analyzed the game in Dortmund and drew the conclusion. One footballer was above them all: Jadon Sancho (24 years old), the footballer from Borussia.

Ilie Dumitrescu: “M-impressed the play of the two lateral midfielders in the lanes”

The Digi Sport expert was also impressed by Borussia’s game without the ball, a team that ran about 120 km in this match.

“As I said before the match, Dortumund is a team that can create imbalances and score goals in the offensive phase. But at the same time, I was impressed with the play without the ball.

I mean, I was impressed in the lanes by the play of the two lateral midfielders, Adeyemi and Jadon Sancho. They made a tremendous effort to cover the area in front of the fullbacks, Maatsen and Ryerson, who played tremendously.

They won a lot of duels with the full-backs, with the two midfielders who entered the area. That it was Barcola, that it was Dembele, on the opposite side, although many times they played in the center”said Ilie Dumitrescu, present in the studio of the Euro Football show, from Digi Sport.

“Mister” also said where the difference was made in this match.

“I was impressed by the central area, the axis of those from Dortmund, and here also Hummels and Schlotterbeck, clearly the latter stood out with that perfect deep pass for Fullkrug.

Then, Emre Can and Sabitzer ran, covered the area, the areas in front of the defenders, made an aggressive welcome press.

I would like to highlight one thing, speaking of effort and playing without the ball. 119 km were run by those from Dortmund, 110 by those from PSG”added the former footballer.

What Ilie Dumitrescu said about Full circle

Ilie Dumitrescu also said why Jadon Sancho was superior, a head above everyone else.

“In addition, Jadon Sancho seemed superior to me. So superior, a head above all, and I mean all that it meant whenever he got possession.

He created imbalances, crosses, superiority all the time, he brought a plus. Adeyemi, effort but no branded achievements.

Fullkrug, that genuine 9, plays very well in front, pivots for those coming from the second line and appears well in finishing”added “Mystery”.

Ilie Dumitrescu drew a short conclusion also related to PSG, a team that sent the ball over the bar twice in the second half, within the same phase.

“I think Paris could have done more if they capitalized on the opportunities in the second half”said Ilie Dumitrescu, at Digi Sport.
