"We all played very well in this game, but luck favored Atletico Madrid in the end...a draw, a very normal score, but this draw was not enough to give Atletico Madrid a big advantage, because...Aragone
Mr. Si, you don’t expect to eliminate us after a zero-0 loss at home, do you? In that case, we will definitely advance." Dick said at the post-match press conference.
Aragones shrugged his shoulders: "I really didn't think about it... because I didn't have any confidence that I could defend at home without conceding the ball. This one-to-one actually didn't make much sense. I originally planned to score in the away game.
Two balls.”
Dick burst out laughing: "Then you underestimate me too much, Mr. Aragones!"
"That's why I said we have to work hard... It's a pity that we tried hard and failed. But at home, Atletico Madrid will show more strength. I think Mr. Dick also knows this." Aragones replied.
explain.
"The game at Calderon, in my opinion, is the final." Dick ended the press conference with his last words.
"In the first leg of the just-concluded Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid drew with Dortmund 1-1 away from home, which gave them a certain advantage in the two rounds. Let the Dortmund coach
What makes Dick a little depressed is that the key figures to equalize the score are the two forwards he trained before, Julio Cruz and Fernando Torres... Let's take a look at what Dick commented after the game.
Bar……"
Soon, footage of Dick being interviewed appeared on the TV: "What are you going to ask me? What do you think of Torres' goal? Is it possible for me to congratulate this kid? He has entered the door of my team.
...Well, I'm very happy to see him like this now, but what I want to say is that I will allow him to score a goal in the next game, but in the end, it will still be us, Dortmund, who advance, not Dortmund.
Atletico Madrid! Why? Because I lead Dortmund, idiot!"
Little Hill in front of the TV was so happy that he burst out laughing - bastard, do you know how good we are now? You still brag... When we get to Calderon, victory must belong to us, so go ahead and eat shit.
asshole!
Putting aside the gloating Hill, in the mainstream media, Atletico Madrid has indeed begun to be more optimistic. It is not because Dortmund did not perform well in the home game - in fact, they have performed very well, very good
Dick's tactical changes were implemented, but precisely because of this, it proved that Dortmund, which performed best, could not defeat Atletico Madrid at home. If they were in poor condition on the road, they would not even be able to advance...
Dortmund fans also feel that the situation is not good, but they are not too anxious. They are already very satisfied with reaching the knockout stage. After all, they have to take their time. It is the first time in four years that they have reached the knockout stage.
Want to hit the championship? It’s inevitable that they are a little anxious. With Dick’s leadership, they will definitely have a chance to hit the championship in the next few years!
Dick remained silent to a large extent at this time. He did not express too many intentions. There were still two league matches before the second round. There was no point in talking at this time.
If necessary, finish the league first.
The next round of games is an away game against Hamburg, and then a home game against Bayern. Bayern's schedule is not good either. They first play against Werder Bremen at home, and then go to an away game against Dortmund - now Dortmund is still one point ahead of Bayern.
The two rounds of the league at this time are enough to affect the final result of the league.
In the away game against Hamburg, Dick sent out a large number of substitutes. He was ready to give up the game and beat Bayern decisively at home. After all, the main players seemed very tired in the game, and it would not be good to barely play.
Anyway, he is still one point ahead. Even if he is temporarily surpassed by Bayern, as long as he defeats Bayern at home, he will regain the initiative. He can still afford to take this risk.
So in the next game, except for a few main players with excellent physical fitness, such as Lehmann, Vaughns, and Kyle, the other main players all got the opportunity to rest. In the end, Dortmund, who came on as mostly substitutes, still
They drew with Hamburg 0-0 in the away game, but what Dick didn't expect was that Bayern failed to seize this opportunity. They were choked by Miku at home and lost to Werder Bremen 0-1 at home.
!
This result means that Dortmund has earned back the point it lost in the last round - both sides are now in poor condition in the league, which makes Dortmund's situation in the league even better...
Dortmund fans are beginning to be grateful to Bremen. This is indeed a team that is very good at disrupting the situation. Although it has not yet returned to the third position, it has defeated Dortmund and Bayern successively, fully demonstrating its ability to harm others.
The noble character of self-interest...
In normal life, this is called harming others without benefiting oneself. However, in a football match, what is this called? This is called professionalism!
After the results of this round came out, many people began to be particularly unfavorable to Bayern - such a good opportunity was not grasped. Dortmund's current league performance has begun to decline. It can be said that the Champions League has taken away energy. What about you?
If they lose to Dortmund in the next round away from home, they will be five points behind with five rounds left. It will not be easy for Bayern to catch up, unless Dortmund falls behind like Leverkusen last season.
This kind of evaluation makes Leverkusen depressed. They have already struggled this season. They finally entered the second stage of the Champions League group stage, but suffered six consecutive losses. The league is now ranked third from the bottom.
, officially entered the relegation zone - how can you bear to be pulled out by you as a negative example like this!
Everyone now knows that in the twenty-ninth round, Dortmund's home game against Bayern will be a game related to the final championship situation of this season. If Bayern can defeat Dortmund, then they can win in the next five rounds.
Taking the initiative in the league, if Dortmund can defeat Bayern, then they can expand their lead to five points. Even if they will continue to advance in the Champions League, this five-point advantage can also allow them to advance in the next games.
They seem to be more comfortable. After all, their opponents in the last five rounds were Munich 1860, Wolfsburg, Nuremberg, Kaiserslautern and Cottbus. They were all teams outside the top six, including two.
They are still in the relegation zone, and Dortmund still has three home games. This schedule will be very beneficial to them!
For Dortmund fans, they are paying more attention to this game now. Dortmund has not won two consecutive championships many times in history, only once. They won the league championship last season, so of course they need to get better this season.
results to tie the historical record and completely suppress Bayern!
They lost to Bayern on the road before, and now at home, they extremely hope that the team can defeat Bayern, win this game, and establish the league championship this season!
The only thing that makes them confused is, can Dortmund do their best in this game?
"The situation is very clear now. Dortmund needs to defeat Bayern in order to gain enough advantage in the remaining time. This is true from any angle. After all, no one can say for sure in the Champions League. We must first protect the league.
is the most correct choice. However, Dick, the head coach, has always had some weird ideas. We don’t know what he will think..." A guest from German TV said helplessly during the interview.
However, for Dortmund's top brass, their choice is simple...
"No matter what Dick wants to do, we just need to support him." Nebom said to his two comrades: "To be honest, I started to think that he would defend the league to the death. After all, he will earn more than 10 million euros if he wins the league championship.
However, he is still fighting for the Champions League, trying to win more honors even if he takes risks... This is what I wanted him to do before, even if it leads to serious bankruptcy in the future. But now he
To do that on a budget... I admire this guy."
"Yes, letting this guy be our head coach and giving him so much power, although it was a risk, now it seems to be extremely correct." Zorc sighed with satisfaction, although he is now basically
He is already an idle man, but he is very satisfied with the current situation of Dortmund. Dick has done so well that he can't find any faults at all.
"We have already reached this point. Even if he has some selfish motives, there is no problem." Mayer also agreed: "The Champions League entering the knockout rounds has brought us more than 30 million euros in revenue. Even if
If he gives up the next game and tries his best in this game, we will also make money! Next, we will just quietly watch his performance!"
Dortmund's management is so unified at this moment, because now is the time to be in the same boat, and there is no need to worry about the details. As long as Dick can bring what they want, what's the problem even if they give Dick more money?
Not only the German media, but also the Chinese broadcasters attach great importance to this game. Because Dick chose to coach Dortmund, the live broadcast of the Bundesliga this season has almost become a Dortmund exclusive. Chinese fans have no objection to this. After all, Dortmund
It is indeed a strong team, and they are playing well, and with the Dick factor, no one will be dissatisfied with this approach.
You must know that in the past few years, due to the joining of Yang Chen, the broadcast of the Bundesliga was almost exclusively for Frankfurt. There is no objection to this, let alone the Dortmund exclusive. Because of the 1997 Champions League, there were not many Dortmund fans in the country.
Although the Bayern fans are a little suffocated, they are Chinese after all, so they won't be too dissatisfied when they see this scene. At most, they just regret that Dick is not coaching Bayern...
CCTV attaches great importance to this game. The Bundesliga itself is already very good at broadcasting. However, this time CCTV also sent a team to Germany to be responsible for broadcasting this game. This game must be related to the championship.
The battle was displayed in front of the fans in all aspects. Two famous commentators came to Germany. They were responsible for the on-site commentary. There were two other commentators in the country who were responsible for the broadcast during the opening and halftime. Such a lineup,
Generally speaking, it only appears in the broadcast of the World Cup, which shows that CCTV attaches great importance to this game.
Amid everyone's expectations, time has slowly come to April 19. This Bundesliga game will set several records - at least, in terms of single game ratings, it will break the ratings of all previous Bundesliga games...
