Two hundred and ninetieth chapters take advantage of the situation
"I'm very happy that we can qualify from this group one round early. This means that we can be more relaxed next time. It is very happy to be able to advance in the Champions League, and it will also allow us to continue.
We have a heavier burden to deal with various superior opponents on all fronts in a relatively disadvantaged situation...but we don't care about this. I came to Dortmund just to win the championship, no matter it is
I don’t care whether we fight on three fronts or two fronts. Dortmund has many good players now. We can afford the responsibility of fighting on several fronts. We at Dortmund are willing to take on the task of fighting for European glory for the Bundesliga!”
Dick's words after the game immediately caused a stir in the entire Bundesliga.
This season, Bayern was surprisingly eliminated from the group one round early. It is obvious that they will not be able to achieve any good results in the Champions League. They will go all out in the league next, which is a distraction for the Champions League.
It is very disadvantageous for Dortmund, but Dick's words show his strong ambition - when Bayern cannot compete for honors in the Champions League, Dortmund must stand up and fill this gap!
This is a clear provocation to Bayern!
Bayern has rarely languished in the Champions League for several years. Dick must seize this opportunity immediately to create the image of Dortmund as the representative of the Bundesliga!
Such provocation naturally makes Bayern fans very unhappy - who has won glory for the Bundesliga by playing both the league and the Champions League in the past few years? It was Bayern! What were you doing in Dortmund at that time? Now we are in poor condition, you guys
It started to jump out...
But this way, Dortmund fans began to feel confident enough!
They are not afraid of offending Bayern. If Dortmund wants to rise in the Bundesliga, it will definitely hurt Bayern's interests. There will only be one boss in a league, even if it is temporary.
"Dick is really a restless guy... After a few days in the Bundesliga, he immediately used this method to provoke Bayern. But sometimes we have to say that although he is restless, his restlessness is
It is based on his own strength. Dortmund made more than 20 million in the transfer market this season, and his salary expenses were reduced by more than 10 million. However, his results in the same period were better than last season... at least this season.
Before ending, let us take a good look at what kind of achievements Dick can create in Dortmund..."
After winning the fifth round of the Champions League, Dortmund's next game is still a double match a week, but one is the German Cup and the other is the sixth round of the Champions League group stage. For Dortmund, they can
Focus your energy completely on the league - you must also focus on the league. The next weekend, Dortmund will go to an away game to challenge the current third place Werder Bremen, and next weekend, they will go to
Challenge Bayern away from home!
Dortmund is now two points ahead of Bayern in the standings. The next two rounds of the league are very important for Dortmund's next games!
Obviously, when Dick made it clear that he wanted Dortmund to attack Bayern's dominance, this approach greatly stimulated the fighting spirit of the Dortmund players!
After Werder Bremen defeated Bayern in the last round, their morale also began to improve rapidly. This team's offense this season is quite good. The trident of Miku, Charles Thias and Elton has taken shape.
Although Klashnic is not yet the main player, he often performs well after coming on as a substitute. In addition, the ability and cooperation of Ernst, Borowski and Hungarian star Listes behind them are not bad. It is no wonder that they
Able to perform well in the Bundesliga.
They have now scored 19 goals in the league, second only to Bayern with 26 goals, Bochum with 22 goals and Dortmund with 20 goals, but they have also conceded a lot of goals - also
Nineteen, they can defeat Nuremberg and Bochum 4-1, but also lose 0-3 to mid-table teams like Munich 1860 and Bielefeld. This is why they are currently only ranked third, ahead of Dortmund and Bayern.
One of the factors that scored a lot of points.
Compared with their offense, Bremen's defense has always been weak. The current two main central defenders, Kostakic and Bowman, are good in head-on confrontation and heading the ball, but their defensive backs and turns are very average.
It is easy to be beaten from behind. In fact, most Bundesliga teams have this problem. Any Bundesliga team that has achieved good results in the Champions League must have a relatively flexible defense line. In the past few years, Bayern has been very successful in the Champions League.
Defender Link played a very important role in the good results. Last year, Leverkusen relied more on the flexible Lucio in defense. Bremen's results in the Champions League when they had Ismail were also
Yes, losing Ismail will always result in a big loss.
Of course, Dick is very clear about this. To deal with a team like Bremen, stabilize the midfield, control Miku's passing, don't give their two forwards too many opportunities, and then continue to hit behind——
This is the best way to deal with them!
Miku's defense was left to Kyle, and Elton was very fast. Although this fat guy looked clumsy and bloated, when he ran, you would forget how big he was, but he was no longer
It is fast and requires passes from teammates to be effective. By controlling Miku, you can maximize your advantage.
As for Charles Thias...if this center cuts off the passes from both wings, he will be of little use. Bremen's trident now is far from as good as it will be in a year or two, at least Klose and Klas.
The power of Nicci's partner is better than these two forwards.
On November 2, Dortmund welcomed Werder Bremen away from home.
Defeating Bayern in the last round obviously gave Bremen fans enough confidence. They kept shouting on the court, hoping that the team could continue to defeat Dortmund and narrow the gap with the top spot again!
In this game, Dick started Alves again. Suppression on both wings was very important, and after the opening two minutes, Alves proved that Dick's trust in him was correct with a beautiful assist!
Rosicky sent a beautiful through pass in the middle. The ball passed Werder Bremen's midfield defense and fell to the feet of Alves. The Brazilian immediately completed a forced breakthrough from the right and passed the ball directly.
The opponent's 32-year-old Ukrainian full-back Skolnyko then accelerated and forced a breakthrough. After catching up with the ball, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the penalty area...
The person who appeared at the back point was Frings. As a right midfielder, he appeared on the left side of the opponent's penalty area. When the ball came, Frings directly volleyed and scored the ball into the far corner of the goal!
The goal two minutes into the game immediately silenced all the Werder Bremen fans!
In the next game, Dortmund firmly controlled the midfield, constantly wearing down the fighting spirit and physical fitness of the Bremen players. The players in the midfield and frontcourt were running back and forth to create opportunities, trying their best to create opportunities.
It disrupted Bremen's defense and made their defense even more chaotic.
Although in the 30th minute of the first half, Ernst received a pass from Miku and equalized the score with a world-famous 30-meter long shot, but when he came off the field, the Bremen player
They were breathing harder than the Dortmund players who had just played a key game in midweek. Dick knew that victory was not too far away from Dortmund.
However, two minutes after the start of the second half, Rosicky was injured in a fight and came off, putting Dortmund a little further away from victory. However, at this time, Ricken, who came on to replace Rosicky, showed a very good state.
Dick also put a lot of thought into Ricken. This player showed a top level at the age of 20, but his development has stagnated in the next few years. Five years ago, he was a top rookie known throughout Europe.
, and now he is still a rookie. At the same time as him, Ronaldo, Raul, Totti, Del Piero, Kluivert and others are already top players in Europe, but he has begun to gradually become silent - constantly.
Injury experience is also a big factor. Although he has never had any major injuries, he always suffers from minor injuries, which prevents him from continuing to perform.
In this regard, Dick's approach is still the same, retreating, giving full play to his overall view, keeping him away from the penalty area, reducing physical confrontation, and giving full play to his technical and mental advantages - among this group of German players, Ricken's overall view is
His vision and awareness are definitely top-notch, but his physical fitness is much worse than most German players.
After gradually adapting, Ricken quickly performed at a very good level. In the 70th minute, Ricken, who was advancing forward, received a pass from Okocha and made a beautiful pull to avoid Skol.
Nico then passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Dede, who advanced forward, received the ball and shot hard. The ball flew into the goal close to the near post again!
The two goals were exactly the same. They were both scored by breaking through from the wing and scoring through the back row of players. This style of play hit Bremen's weakness. Their defenders are not afraid of frontal impact, but just
Afraid of this roundabout attack...
"Dick's tactical intention is very obvious and the effect is very good... If this continues, Werder Bremen will suffer."
The commentator was right. In the following time, Dortmund continued to use this back-and-forth attack tactic to keep Bremen's gate open.
It was another perfect cooperation. Okocha passed the ball to Riken. Riken broke into the penalty area and tipped the ball over the goalkeeper. Then he passed the ball near the baseline. Rivaldo followed up and scored the ball into the empty goal in the penalty area.
, three to one.
Bremen, which had begun to lose its fighting spirit, was scored by Rivaldo again - this was a very beautiful personal performance. Rivaldo started dribbling the ball in the midfield and got rid of two defenders in one breath.
Then he kicked a curve ball with his left foot from the front of the penalty area and hit the ball into the dead center of the goal!
Four to one! Dortmund swept Werder Bremen away from home, and what made Dortmund fans ecstatic was that Bayern played a big draw with newly promoted Hannover 96 in the away game. The score of 4 to 4 allowed Bayern to be dumped by Dortmund.
Four points opened. In the Bundesliga, such a four-point advantage is already a huge advantage. Bayern also suffered a huge impact after being eliminated from the Champions League. Dortmund took advantage of the situation and pulled the score further!
"We have to beat Bayern again next! A seven-point advantage can ensure us to win the Bundesliga championship!" A Dortmund fan said excitedly after this round. In their view, Bayern has now begun to decline.
, it’s time for Dortmund to take advantage of the momentum!
