In the first game after the winter break, which was the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund and Bayern both won and scored three goals in the game, which fully demonstrated that they were ready for the second half of the season.
The third-ranked Werder Bremen obviously did not adjust their condition to the best. They were forced to a 2-2 draw by mid-table Bielefeld, and were already eight points behind Bayern and 11 points behind Dortmund.
However, there are still sixteen games left in the league, and Bremen is not without opportunities. Just like in the middle of last season, Dortmund was four points ahead of Leverkusen, but was overtaken by Leverkusen with three rounds left in the league.
Five points, and as a result, they were able to overtake Leverkusen by one point in the last three rounds to win the championship - in the league, any carelessness may give away all their leading advantages!
Dick is also fully prepared for this. The league and the Champions League must be grasped with both hands. He does not want to give up on either side - winning the league championship means that he will earn close to 20 million euros, which is very important to him.
Future plans are crucial, and the Champions League champion...if he can win the Champions League, then he will be the first head coach in the history of the Champions League to lead two different teams to win consecutive Champions League titles.
——Happel and Hitzfield once led two different teams to win the Champions League, but they did not win consecutively. Dick had already created a record of winning the UEFA Cup and Champions League for two consecutive years at Atletico Madrid.
Record, before him only legendary Liverpool coach Paisley had ever achieved this.
What is a legend? Legends are accumulated with a series of achievements that are difficult or even impossible for others to achieve. Dick's performance before was already legendary. If he can achieve such legendary success in Dortmund, then it will be like this
Almost no one can shake it!
Leading two different teams to win consecutive Champions League titles in two leagues - what kind of honor is this?
What Dick wants is this kind of achievement. With such accumulation, when people look back, they will be extremely surprised to find that what Dick has achieved is something that most head coaches cannot achieve in their lifetime.
matter!
"Continue to rest, adjust your condition, and focus all your attention on the game!"
Dick did not relax at all in the following time. He continued to spur the players and kept their emotions at an extremely full level. The next round of the league was against Leverkusen. Although Leverkusen this season
Their performance was terrible, but after all, their background is still there...
But Leverkusen's performance this season is indeed poor.
They barely made it to the second stage of the Champions League group stage, but lost to Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan in the group stage. They were at the bottom of the group after losing two consecutive games. In the 18th round of the league, they have five wins, five draws and eight losses.
Ranked only fourteenth, only one step away from the relegation zone...
Kirsten once said angrily after the club sold Emerson: "If this continues, I'm afraid we will become the richest Bundesliga club." This summer they did not sell too many people, but the whole
Compared with last season, the team's performance is completely different.
Sometimes Leverkusen fans wonder, if they had asked Dick to be their head coach in the summer, would they be the ones with the most glory now? But Dortmund struck first...
It's not that Leverkusen has a problem with their strength, but that they haven't been able to make up for the gap left after Ballack left. Simak played two good games, and then his performance began to be poor. The other players were in poor condition.
There is also a huge gap compared to last season. In football, you can't tell the outcome just by looking at the players. Whether the players can perform well on the field and form a force on the field will make a big difference.
.
Last season Leverkusen was a team that worked together to maximize its strength, but this season it is a team that is scattered.
Originally Dick thought that this game might be difficult to play, but in fact, Dortmund won the game without any blood. Okocha and Kavinaji each scored a goal in the game. Dortmund easily won 2-0 at home.
Leverkusen was in sharp contrast to the difficult first half of the season when they managed to get a draw - at that time, Leverkusen still had the demeanor of a strong team, but now, this demeanor of a strong team is gone...
Something that makes Dortmund fans extremely happy happened - Bayern stopped their winning streak again. After winning the first game after the winter break, they got a draw and were defeated by Bielefeld in the away game.
Zero draw! This allowed Dortmund to extend its lead to five points!
This ending made Dortmund fans ecstatic. The uneasiness of losing to Bayern before has completely disappeared - now Dortmund is five points ahead of Bayern, which is a huge advantage! If it can be maintained until the start of the Champions League
, then Dortmund will have better room to relax a little in the league and concentrate on playing Champions League games!
But it is obvious that after winning seven consecutive games in the Bundesliga, although Dortmund is in very good condition, their performance has inevitably begun to decline. Just when they are happy to lead Bayern by five points
At that time, a week later, they were forced to a 2-2 draw by their local rivals Schalke 04 in the away game. Schalke 04 scored two goals in the first half. Dortmund launched a crazy counterattack in the second half, and Li came on as a substitute.
Ken and Cavinagi scored two goals in five minutes to equalize the score. Judging from their momentum, they were likely to take the lead. However, Schalke 04 and 4 were united to maintain the tie until the end!
After the game, all Dortmund fans sighed because they missed an opportunity to expand their lead again. In this round, Bayern once again suffered a draw. They played Hamburg at home.
After a draw, Dortmund's lead is still five points and has not expanded.
"Things should look on the bright side... We lost two points but did not lose the lead, which is a good thing. The Champions League is about to begin, and our pressure will increase. It is always a good thing to retain a little more of the lead.
.There is still a period of time in the league and we have an advantage. What we have to do now is to ensure this advantage. Even if the final win is only one point and a goal difference, if we can win, it is the biggest victory!"
"Since the beginning of this season, Dick always seems to be very high-profile and confident. He sees hope when he loses the game, he performs well when the game is tied, and it will be a very brilliant season if he wins the game... Dortmund
The current results are indeed quite good, but will it be like last year's Leverkusen, where the two lines collapsed due to lack of experience in two-line operations? After all, Dortmund's experience in the Champions League is not enough, and in the
In the league, they also have to face Bayern, a team without any ties. It is not easy to compete with Bayern when they are distracted by the Champions League, and the Champions League is very random. I am afraid Dick himself will do it.
Admit it, a big factor in winning the league championship last season was because of his good luck, right? If Dortmund fails to win any honors this season, then I'm afraid Dick's current high profile will become evidence of his future crimes.
…”
The media expressed their opinions on Dick's remarks at the press conference after the game. For the rigorous German media, Dick's high profile made them very uncomfortable, because in their view, Dick had
There are many words that are completely unnecessary to say, and are just talk-if the media in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A would be very happy to hear it, the media in the Bundesliga treat Dick's character with a serious attitude.
However, what they don't know is that Dick is using this method to beat the Dortmund players to their best ability and tighten their nerves throughout the season to produce a perfect season - because of this
At that time, Dortmund still had the confidence to win the league championship last season. Every player was eager to achieve good results in the Champions League. Everyone had goals to pursue and had the courage to attack everything. In Dick's view, Dortmund
He will definitely not become stronger in the next few years, but will only become weaker and weaker. He is now walking like a handful of water in his hands. The water is destined to become less and less.
All he has to do is achieve his goal before all the water leaks out!
What is the purpose? Of course it is to win the Champions League and the league championship!
Dick still remembers Mourinho's last season at Inter Milan in history. That season he led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown. Although almost every game was difficult, under his encouragement
With targeted arrangements, Inter Milan blocked and killed gods and Buddhas that season. In fact, Mourinho only used fourteen or five players that season, eleven main players, two or three
A suitable substitute, one or two surprise players, and most of the main players have played all the games throughout the season. On the surface, they should be exhausted, but they have always maintained a very high state and physical level. It has to be said,
Sometimes people's willpower is really endless, but of course it comes at a price - these players did not return to their peak form for a long time.
Dick just wanted to follow this approach, using constant words to encourage their fighting spirit, so that they would always be extremely eager for the game, and let them perform their best in every game. Dick did not
They need to persist for too long, as long as they persist until the end of the season. Dortmund does not have many veterans, and most of them are young players. There will be no problem in this regard. They can only motivate them with words and words.
Victory stimulates them and allows them to always see hope. If this energy does not collapse, the entire Dortmund will not collapse!
Therefore, no matter what the situation, he must maintain a high profile and use his high profile to keep the players' high morale and absolute confidence for the next game. Even if it is an out-of-control train on the railway track, he must prevent this runaway train from running out of control.
Stop, don't slow down, but keep accelerating while adjusting the direction and rushing towards the right road!
If you can reach the finish line, it's a victory; if you can't, it's a car crash and people are killed.
