For most Atletico Madrid fans, this time of day is not bad. After all, Atletico Madrid does not have a game to play until tomorrow, so they can focus on Dick - even most of Atletico Madrid.
Although the players cannot go to watch the game because there is a game tomorrow, they all turned on the TV in the training base to watch the game...
Aragones seemed very open-minded, and he was even watching among the players. This was one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid did not collapse after Dick left. Aragones was not as stupid as Benitez later.
We understand what Dick means to this team and force the players to forget about Dick...that is just uncomfortable.
"Tactically speaking, Dick's tactics in Dortmund have not changed much from his previous tactics in Atletico Madrid. However, in fact, in terms of details, they have changed a lot. When we were here, the two full-backs still focused on defense.
, but Dortmund uses two full-backs who are basically the same as the full-backs. This is because their two attacking midfielders prefer to move in the middle. Their running ability is very strong and their position-changing ability is also very good.
Strong, each player tends to be active in at least two positions on the field. This is where Dortmund is strong. In terms of overall cooperation, he occasionally shows his personal ability. This is Dick's scary place, but also his excellent place.
"
Aragones was explaining Dick's tactics to the players. The players listened and watched very seriously, because from the beginning, Dortmund and Real Madrid were strangled in the midfield, without any fear that this was happening.
Away...
"The boss's tactics are still so enjoyable." Torres couldn't help but say that the reason why Dick reversed Atletico's losing streak against Real Madrid was because he was never afraid when he led the team against Real Madrid.
, has always used offense and pressing to deal with Real Madrid, and the results are not bad - he can be so missed by Atletico fans, not only because he has achieved so many outstanding results, but also because of his performance when leading Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid
The confidence and courage that comes out are exactly what Atletico Madrid fans want to see!
Aragones looked at the players with a smile. He didn't care about Dick's status in the hearts of Atletico Madrid players. The reason was simple. These players admired Dick, more because he was the head coach of Atletico Madrid.
The results he has created and the fact that he has maintained enough respect for Dick after taking office are the reasons why Atletico Madrid players are willing to play for him.
The mature Aragones naturally knows what to do.
Bernabeu Stadium.
From the beginning, Dortmund and Real Madrid started to press in the midfield. If it were other teams who did this, Real Madrid fans would be very happy, because Real Madrid has never worried about losing in the confrontation, although they lost before
AC Milan, but even at home, AC Milan relied on a solid counterattack and relied on a classic long pass to defeat them.
However, they were facing a team led by Dick - this couldn't help but worry Real Madrid fans. When Dick was at Atletico Madrid, he basically started a confrontation with Real Madrid, and then he was able to win a game.
Won Real Madrid in a ball battle... If something like this happens again, then Real Madrid will fail to enter the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time since returning to the Champions League in the 1995-96 season!
Such results are obviously intolerable to Real Madrid fans. In the past three seasons, they have entered at least the semi-finals of the Champions League. Real Madrid fans are also used to Real Madrid's two-line sprint in the final stage. If there is no Champions League game after the group stage
Look... Real Madrid fans can't imagine what that looks like.
But sometimes, the more you fear something, the more it will happen.
In the first thirty minutes of the game, the two sides were basically in a relatively balanced state. Real Madrid even had a slight advantage. They gradually gained the upper hand in the midfield confrontation after the opening, but Dortmund's defense was well organized.
It didn't give Real Madrid any chance. In the first fifteen minutes, only Zidane tested Lehmann with a shot from outside the penalty area in the fifth minute. Lehmann quickly fell to the ground and flew to save the ball.
In the 16th minute, Real Madrid created an excellent opportunity. Ronaldo's shot from outside the penalty area flew to Raul's feet. Raul used his body to resist Warnes, then turned around and shot, but Lehmann fell to the ground and saved it.
"Lehmann made a beautiful save! Dortmund did a great job defensively! But if their offense doesn't improve, I'm afraid it won't work..."
As the commentator shouted, Dortmund quickly made a counterattack. This was also their most threatening attack in the first thirty minutes. Rosicky passed the ball to Okocha, who stuffed the ball to the left in the frontcourt.
On the way, Rivaldo received the ball and dunked past Cambiasso who was returning to defense. Then he suddenly took a long shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball flew to the dead corner of the goal. Casillas barely blocked the ball with one hand and returned to defense.
Elgra immediately made a big save.
In the first thirty minutes, neither side had any chance. However, just after the thirty minute, the thing that Real Madrid fans feared the most appeared!
After Rosicky got the ball in the middle, he suddenly chose to break through with the ball. His forward thrust caught Real Madrid off guard. Zidane got rid of him. When Cambiasso was about to pounce to intercept Rosicky, he had already brought the ball to the center circle.
Rosicky nearby sent a beautiful through pass. Cavinaji, who was swimming in the middle, leaned on Pavin to receive the ball. After making a fake move to pass the ball back, he suddenly turned around and broke through!
Breaking through with the ball thirty meters away from the goal, Cavinagy rarely did this after coming to Europe. This also made Pavin make a mistake in his judgment. Cavinagy rushed past him with the ball.
Only then did he react, and immediately ran back like crazy, hoping to stop Kavinaj's single sword attack.
Kavinaj was not dribbling the ball very fast, so he was caught up by Pavin after advancing more than ten meters. Pavin rushed over from the side, intending to stop Kavinaj again and block him.
of moving on.
But at this time, Cavinaji quickly kicked off and completed the shot!
No one expected that he would take a shot from this position. Pavin hurriedly raised his foot to block it, but missed it. The ball flew between his legs and flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal!
Casillas's line of sight was blocked by Pavin, and he did not expect that Cavinagy would take a shot from this position, because according to previous statistics, Cavinagy has taken more than 90% of his shots this season.
It was completed in the penalty area, and there were almost no records of long-range shots outside the penalty area, so when he saw the ball flying from Pavin's feet, Casillas was already a step too late to react...
When he fell to the ground and stretched out his arms, the ball flew past his hands and flew into the gate of Real Madrid the next moment!
The entire Bernabéu stadium immediately fell silent. Only the cheers and shouts of Dortmund fans and Atletico Madrid fans came from the two stands, one south and one north!
"The ball went in! In the 30th minute, Dortmund scored the first goal through a counterattack! They are now leading Real Madrid in the away game! If this score is maintained until the end, Dortmund will lead Real Madrid by five points, which means they will have a chance to qualify.
Huge advantage! Real Madrid has now reached its most dangerous moment! Whether they can enter the knockout rounds of this season’s Champions League depends on whether they will make any changes in the next games. If they cannot defeat Dortmund, it will be difficult for them to win.
We’ve made it out of this death group!”
Real Madrid is indeed at its most dangerous moment now - at least in the Champions League.
Conceding the ball is actually not a big problem, because with Real Madrid's style, conceding the ball is normal, and it will not affect their mood. But when facing the team led by Dick, conceding the ball, like this
The impact on mood is relatively large...
They had to think of the tragic experience when they faced Dick. They had gradually forgotten about it before, but this goal reminded them again of how they were defeated by Dick's team. In Dick's hands
, they lost at least two league titles and a chance to enter the Champions League final. Without Dick, they may have a very glorious period!
There is Dick! Real Madrid fans hate Dick, but they are also afraid of Dick deep in their hearts!
The Dortmund players celebrated for a long time, knowing that they now have a huge psychological advantage. This advantage not only comes from this goal, but also from Dick's previous achievements.
What should Real Madrid do?
Facing Dortmund who started blocking in the midfield, Real Madrid launched a counterattack under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
Dortmund's blocking and superior height in the penalty area allowed Real Madrid to use more long-range shots from the outside to create opportunities. However, Dortmund's defense was quite solid and did not give Real Madrid many opportunities. After Figo broke away laterally,
A long-range shot was blocked by the crossbar, and Ronaldo's powerful shot from outside the penalty area was hit by Lehmann's hands. Every time the attack failed, the uneasy feeling in the hearts of Real Madrid fans increased!
"Although the team led by Dick focuses on offense, their defense is always very good, which is amazing. The same is true for Dortmund now. Their defense can form a whole, and Real Madrid's offense can't open it up.
If the situation continues like this, it will be very unfavorable for Real Madrid. Dortmund's counterattack is also quite good. Although there are no particularly fast players, the cooperation of the three frontcourt players is quite good, coupled with Rosicky's scheduling..."
When everyone's concerns began to grow, Raul used his practical actions to prove why he is the banner of Real Madrid.
In the 43rd minute, just when the first half was about to end, Raul received a direct pass from Zidane in the penalty area. He turned his back to the goal, and Metzelder kept squeezing behind him.
Following him, Vaughns is still filling in next to him. This kind of defense can be called an iron wall.
Under Metzelder's interference and collision, Raul lost his balance. When he fell, Metzelder raised his hands to indicate that he was not defending. But it was this relaxation that caused Raul to fall to the ground.
He moved hard on the lawn, and then stabbed with his left foot while falling to the ground!
Such a sudden shot caught both Metzelder and goalkeeper Lehmann completely unexpected. The ball jumped up diagonally, then flew past the hands of Lehmann, who was struggling to pounce, and flew lightly into the Dortmund gate...
…
Just when the Real Madrid people were about to collapse, Raul scored a goal under almost impossible circumstances and pulled Real Madrid back from the edge of the cliff!
