After the draw ceremony of the group stage came out, the German media were generally not very optimistic. Bayern was in a veritable group of death, and Dortmund's group was not much better. Leverkusen was slightly better, but it was also divided with Manchester United.
They have formed a group. With their current state this season, whether the group can qualify is really not a big question.
Dick didn't say anything about this. He only cares about his Dortmund. The performance of other Bundesliga teams has nothing to do with him - he is only concerned about the next game. With the decline of Leverkusen this season
, Dortmund's main opponent is Bayern. After Bayern was unexpectedly tied in the first round, they won the next two rounds of the league, and both games were big wins. They swept Bielefeld 6-2 at home and three away games.
They defeated Hamburg with a score of zero and showed excellent form, scoring nine goals in two games. This kind of offensive ability is really scary.
In fact, Bayern has always had a great advantage in the Bundesliga. They play relatively openly in the Bundesliga and can often score big scores. This has also created Bayern's dominance and status as the Bundesliga hegemon. Basically, many mid-to-lower teams have encountered
Bayern will feel that it is useless to fight hard. Although the Bundesliga team rarely gives up any games, they will unconsciously save some energy to play other games where it is easier to grab points-this also makes it easier for Bayern to win.
In the fourth round of the league, Dortmund challenged previously top-ranked Bochum away from home, while Bayern ushered in the Munich derby. Their opponent was Munich 1860. These two games were considered focus battles, although Munich 1860 was in each other's league.
On the one hand, they are suppressed by Bayern, but as a derby, the result of the game can easily be unexpected. Bochum has had an exceptionally good start to the season. With three consecutive wins, they are surprisingly ranked first in the standings.
Location!
Bochum is only 30 kilometers away from Dortmund. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a derby in the Ruhr area. However, compared with the contest between Dortmund and Schalke 04, the contest between Dortmund and Bochum
It is not taken seriously. In the past few years, Bochum was beaten by Dortmund almost every year. However, before this game, Bochum was in such excellent form, defeating Nuremberg three to one and sweeping the newly promoted Marco Polo five to zero.
Tebbs is nothing, but in the last round of away game, Leverkusen was completely beaten with a score of 4 to 2. This is a terrifying thing, even if this game is
The under-appreciated Ruhr area derby is enough to arouse people's interest!
"I have never underestimated Bochum. If they are now ranked first, then they must have something special about them. During this period, I have also paid great attention to this game. An underappreciated derby in the Ruhr area? As long as it is
Derby will not make people feel that they are not taken seriously. Christiansen's performance is surprising. In a league like the Bundesliga, scoring six goals in three games is very remarkable, especially since he was still playing in the Bundesliga last year...
There are many outstanding forwards in Spain, but maybe Christiansen is such a buried player. It is commendable that he can perform like this at almost 30 years old. I think I will pay more attention to his performance."
Dick's performance during the interview. In the first three rounds, Bochum's performance was definitely one of the biggest highlights since the start of the Bundesliga. He scored six goals in three games, including a hat trick, which made this previously unknown player
The Spanish striker has become famous. Although this performance is not enough for him to enter the Spanish national team, for a man who although he was born in Barcelona, he has been hanging around in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga. He even went to Greece to play football, and then followed Bochum.
For an upgraded veteran forward, this is already a glorious enough thing.
Christiansen seemed very modest when being interviewed: "I'm not very familiar with Dick because I have been away from Spain for a long time... but I have been paying attention to La Liga games, and his abilities are very outstanding. He
I'm very happy to be praised like this, but I still hope to prove my ability by scoring goals in the next games."
Such a Ruhr derby that should not have received much attention originally became one of the highlights in this round of the league. The limelight even surpassed the Munich derby. At the home court of Bochum, this game proved that both sides
They really deserve to be in the spotlight!
Bochum scored 12 goals in the first three rounds. This offensive power even surpassed Bayern and ranked first among all teams. Dortmund's goals were not too few, with seven goals in three games not bad.
, In this game, Dick did not hold anything back. Except for Ricken, who replaced Okocha, all the other main players started. Naturally, Bochum also faced the battle with all the main players. As a newly promoted team, they had no plan.
If they can win one game, it's just one win, which makes their momentum in the opening stage very strong.
Christiansen, who is in excellent condition, is naturally Bochum's number one attacker. All Bochum's offense revolves around him, and this forward, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 74 kilograms, is a typical shooter.
, he rarely confronts defenders, but constantly runs in the penalty area to look for opportunities. Occasionally passing people, most of the time he looks for opportunities through running.
Warnes has no particularly good way to deal with this kind of forward, because he is a central defender with excellent confrontation ability, but his footwork seems a bit poor. Dick arranged for Ismail to deal with Christiansen. Although Ismail is tall,
, but his movement with his feet is quite flexible. In addition, he has been in many teams for a long time, and his mentality and experience are quite good. Using him to deal with Christiansen is naturally the right medicine.
Of course, if you want to defend the opponent, the best way is to get rid of the problem - to control the passing of the opponent's midfield. Through this, Christiansen will get fewer opportunities. To deal with such a pure shooter, cut off the passes to him from his teammates at the source.
The ball is the best way.
On offense, more offense is needed to score goals - the opponent's offensive ability is very good, so using defensive counterattack is not a particularly good way, because they have a player who is in good condition and is good at catching opportunities in the penalty area.
For a shooter, retreating to defense can only give him more opportunities, and using offense to reduce the opponent's offense and increase his own number of goals is a more active offensive method.
Since he is coaching in the Bundesliga, Dick has no intention of playing conservatively in the game. The Bundesliga actually has a lot of offensive styles, and the teams tend to play very open, which is not bad at all from a viewing perspective, plus top-level players
Broadcasting system, sometimes watching the Bundesliga on TV is simply a pleasure. However, the only drawback of the Bundesliga is that they don’t have many stars, and they suffer a lot in this regard.
In such an environment, Dick naturally has to play more open and open, so that he can make better use of the flaws and gaps behind the tall defenders, score more goals, and have a higher probability of winning. Fans
We can also enjoy watching it...
From the beginning of the game, Dortmund started attacking against the visitors, and Bochum did not be conservative. They started pressing in the midfield, trying to score goals from the beginning to boost their morale.
Being able to score so many goals and winning streak in the first three rounds proves that the Bochum players are in good condition. However, the stars in Dortmund's frontcourt played their role. In the 13th minute, Cavinaji passed the ball
To Rivaldo, Rivaldo passed the ball directly to Ricken at the edge of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Ricken looked up and then decisively kicked the ball. The ball passed the opponent's goalkeeper's outstretched hand from the air and then flew in.
The gate to Bochum!
"The ball went in! Ricken! Dortmund's former genius boy! Although his development in recent years has not been very smooth, he is still one of Dortmund's important players... Dick has not given up on him, although he has become a
As a substitute, he was still able to get a lot of playing opportunities in some games. This game was his first start this season, and then he scored! Although Dick's Dortmund did not score many goals
, however, the characteristics of multi-point blossoming have been shown. Previously, six people, including Frings, Rivaldo, Cavinagi, Olic, Dede and Everton, have scored goals in the league, and now they have scored again.
One more! Although Dick’s quick attack and multi-point tactics are not eye-catching tactics, they are very consistent with Dortmund’s actual situation! Dortmund is temporarily leading in the away game!”
Bochum, who was lagging behind at home, launched a fierce attack, but Dortmund did a pretty good job defensively. Kyle himself is an excellent defensive player. His running and confrontation are top-notch, at least at the level of the Bundesliga.
, he can be regarded as a top midfielder, and with the protection of Rosicky and Frings, Dortmund's defense at the front and midfield of the penalty area is quite tough. After resisting a fierce attack from Bochum, Dortmund quickly launched again
Attack and suppress Bochum in their own half!
After a wave of continuous attacks, Frings' long-range shot was blocked by the opponent's defender with his body. However, the ball rolled to the feet of Rosicky who was advancing forward. Rosicky did not hesitate to meet the ball and took another long-range shot. The ball was in
An arc was drawn in the air and flew into the gate of Bochum from the air again!
"The ball scored again! Another beautiful world wave! Dortmund's long-range shot in this game! Now they are two goals ahead! Bochum was completely restrained by Dortmund's offense and failed to play their previous games
The coordination came out smoothly! Dortmund's control in the midfield proves it!"
Bochum, who were two goals behind, began to attack fiercely. They finally got a point back with midfielder Fryer's goal before the end of the first half. However, in the second half, Olic, who came on as a substitute, once again played the role of a super substitute.
After receiving a pass from Rivaldo, he pushed the ball into the far corner. Three to one, Dortmund won two consecutive victories and surpassed Bochum in points. Rostock also lost in this round of the league. They were at home.
They lost 1 to 3 to Bayer Leverkusen, who had only scored two points in the first three rounds. As Bayern also defeated Munich 1860 3 to 1 in the derby, Bayern and Dortmund climbed into the standings with the same points.
With the top two positions, the competition between the two Bundesliga heroes this season has begun to become more prominent!
Everyone was mentally prepared for this. However, after a little discomfort at the beginning, the two strong teams began to compete for points in the league, but no one expected it to happen so quickly. After all, Dortmund had a new owner.
The coach has changed a large number of players. Although Bayern's exchange of blood is not big, the replacement of Effenberg by Ballack can be regarded as a serious injury. The ability to quickly restore the fighting strength is enough to prove that these two teams
