Seeing Henry score the goal, Dick couldn't help but shake his head. Henry is indeed at his best now, with breakthroughs, long shots, points, assists, free kicks...
Dortmund actually has such a star, but the 30-year-old Rivaldo is obviously about to be suppressed by Henry in terms of personal ability. He is still a first-class star, but he will no longer be as dominant as before.
.
But Dick also knows in his heart that no matter how attractive he is, given the environment and attraction of the Bundesliga, it is impossible to get such a dominant player. If he is at Bayern, there is still a chance.
But with Dortmund's financial resources, even if a superstar of this level wanted to join, they would probably be deterred.
Dick took a long breath, then stood up and made a calming gesture.
After the start of the game, Dortmund's offense was dominant. Rivaldo received a pass from Everton and formed a single goal. Unfortunately, his push shot hit the goal post, and Cavinaji also had a header in the penalty area.
The attack hit the goalpost, but Arsenal counterattacked beautifully this time. As long as the players are not disturbed by the loss of the ball, Dortmund will still have a good advantage on the field!
After seeing Henry's goal, Wenger nodded slightly. He felt that his overall tactics were correct. He focused on defense and used Henry's personal ability to launch counterattacks from the wing - this was not a final.
, Arsenal does not need to fight hard in this game, and can use the least effort to get the best results. This is what he wants to do.
Although Dick told the players not to worry on the sidelines, Dortmund's players were inevitably affected. Then they appeared a little cautious when attacking. At this time, Arsenal missed such an opportunity because of their attention.
The team focused more on defense and failed to seize the opportunity to attack Dortmund, resulting in a deadlock.
After a lackluster back-and-forth battle, Dortmund's players finally slowly recovered. When they began to recover, they remembered the tactics Dick arranged before the game and began to continue to put pressure on Arsenal through offense.
.
Alves began to become more active when running on the court. For the nineteen-year-old, he was starting this game. Even he himself did not expect it before. He was a little nervous in the previous games, especially
When Henry broke through from the side he was guarding and scored a goal, he felt a little frustrated, but as time went by, his mentality began to gradually get better - he
I also figured it out. Anyway, he is an unknown young player. Even if he fails, it is not a big deal. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to give full play to what he has in the next game, even if he is in Dortmund next.
The future is worrying, and I'm afraid he can find his place in other teams.
In fact, the Bundesliga is one of the paradises for Brazilian players. Although Brazilian players who join the Bundesliga have almost no possibility of joining the national team, they can often perform well in the Bundesliga. Almost every Bundesliga team has one or two
A Brazilian can often get along very well.
When Dortmund's offense began to become normal, Arsenal's defense began to feel tremendous pressure.
Different from what was previously expected, Dortmund's offense no longer focuses on the center, but frequently attacks on the wing, especially on their right. Everton himself is a player who is used to moving on the wing, and with frequent attacks
With Alves moving forward and Frings having good offensive ability, Dortmund's offense on this side began to completely suppress Arsenal's left wing!
You must know that in Arsenal's offensive system, the left wing is also the most important part. Cole's assist ability and excellence, Pires is one of the sources of Arsenal's midfield attack, and Henry is also used to dribbling the ball from the left wing.
Attack, now that their side's attack has been suppressed, even if they want to counterattack, their threat will not become greater!
Wenger began to frown - it turned out that Dick had such an idea. What surprised him even more was that Dortmund could really do this. Everton's speed and skills were quite good, and he could dribble the ball inside.
The threat of cutting anything is also great. Alves is desperate to attack forward. His speed and impact are quite powerful. Coupled with Frings' excellent long-range shooting ability, Arsenal
The left wing began to bear tremendous pressure!
In the 30th minute, Dortmund seized an opportunity to equalize the score. This goal was not scored on the right, but it had a lot to do with it. Alves, who was advancing forward, planned to break through Cole in one go.
In defense, Cole could only choose to defend reluctantly when he was not as strong as Alves and knocked down Alves. Dortmund got a free kick. Rosicky drove the ball into the penalty area. Gilbert barely took off but only got a scalp.
After a touch of the ball, the ball changed direction and flew to the back point. Kavanaghi followed up in time and raised his foot in front of Xigan to shoot. Before the game, Seaman, who had shortened his ponytail and shaved off his mustache in order to change his luck, did not
Being able to block this shot, the ball flew into Arsenal's goal from the back point, and Dortmund equalized the score!
"The goal was scored! Dortmund got a point back! Beautiful goal!" the commentator shouted loudly: "They had the advantage before. Although there was a moment of panic after losing the ball, they then
Within a short period of time, they continued to occupy the advantage on the field and evened the score through a set piece! Dortmund's temperament has indeed begun to become different now. They did not panic in a difficult situation. I think this is what Dick gave Dortmund.
The biggest wealth brought by this is because after winning the last Champions League, Dortmund's performance in the Champions League has not been very good, which has led to the players not being confident. As the coach of the last Champions League champion, Dick can give Dortmund
Brings such confidence!”
"What I can bring to Dortmund is more than this." Dick thought to himself quite confidently.
In the next game, Arsenal was not able to counterattack smoothly, but they did a good job in defense, which also prevented Dortmund from getting too many opportunities. In this case, the first half ended in a draw——
Arsenal created a corner kick through a counterattack before the end of the first half. Wiltord received Henry's corner kick outside the penalty area and shot directly, but Lehmann saved it beautifully.
As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Dick got up and returned to the locker room. The media were not surprised by this, because Dick was very free in this regard, whether he left early or waited on the sidelines.
The players left together without any purpose. Some people had speculated before that Dick was dissatisfied when he returned to the locker room, but now no one has such speculation.
But after returning to the locker room, Dortmund's players began to find that Dick seemed very dissatisfied this time...
"I am very dissatisfied with the first half of the game! We played very well at the beginning. If it were not for luck, we would have taken a two-goal lead in ten minutes! Henry's counterattack goal was not ours either.
What mistake was made, but for the next fifteen minutes you all seemed very at a loss! This won't work! If Arsenal's tactics in this game were more positive, in those fifteen minutes we might be able to
If we concede another goal, or even two goals, we will lose the entire game in the first half! Do you know how difficult the Champions League is? If this happens to us in the knockout round, we will lose the entire game in fifteen minutes.
season! I don’t want to see this happen again, and I don’t want me to have to yell from the sidelines to make you understand!”
After taking office, Dick seemed much calmer, perhaps because he did not need to get angry to confirm his authority. Generally speaking, Dick pointed out what happened quite calmly and rarely criticized the players harshly.
They, this made the players feel that "Dick is not as scary as the rumors", and at the same time, they also unconsciously began to think that Dick was a good gentleman, and this time Dick's harsh words reminded them of the past again.
The rumors I heard...
"Maybe I don't have anything to say in the league. After all, I'm not particularly familiar with the Bundesliga. But you must listen to me on what to do in the Champions League! Follow my arrangements and execute them meticulously! Because
I am the coach of the European Champions, and you are not members of the European Champions! Do you understand? Answer me now!"
Dick continued to raise his voice, and the Dortmund players began to stir up their emotions one by one, and responded in unison: "I understand, Mr. Coach!"
"very good."
Dick nodded and then slowed down his tone: "In this game, we must attack. Why? Although Arsenal's defensive counterattack is good and can pose a great threat, in fact they use this
This tactic is to put yourself in an unfavorable situation! Is their defense very good? Look at their defense. Except for Campbell, the rest are two full-backs whose assist ability is much better than their defensive ability.
, a Xigan who often makes mistakes, and an old goalkeeper who is almost forty years old... This kind of defense cannot prevent us from scoring goals, and their counterattack is not too difficult to deal with, suppressing
After their left attack, Arsenal's counterattack power will drop a lot! When our right attack came into play in the first half, Arsenal's left defense was completely suppressed by us! We will do the same in the second half
Do it, attack from the wing, involve their defense, and then complete the final blow in the penalty area! Don't forget that our ground attack is very good, we can play faster, so that their defense has no time to react, firmly
Control the situation on the field and kill them with offense!"
"Got it, boss!" Dortmund's players continued to reply in unison.
Dick nodded, and then waved for the players to have a good rest. At this time, the players began to whisper among themselves. Dick's words just now gave them a warning, making them begin to understand that they were facing a terrible situation.
He is not a nice gentleman with a nice smile, but a legendary young head coach who is like a devil...
It's just that what Dick said is right - I am the European champion, and you are nothing. You may have more experience in the league, but in the Champions League, you must listen to me!
With such confidence, Dick was naturally able to say such things.
