The battle between Dortmund and Bayern for Bundesliga supremacy. The battle between Kahn and Lehmann as the main goalkeeper of the national team. The battle between Flins and Ballack as the main midfielder of the national team. Elber and Ze Roberto will compete in Rivaldo.
It was proved in front of them that their unstable position in the national team was not due to a problem of strength. Dede and Alves wanted to prove in front of Sagnol and Lizarazu that the Brazilian national team's full-back combination is unparalleled in the world. Dick
There will also be a competition between this new talent and Hitzfeld, the best coach in the Bundesliga, to see who is the best coach in the entire Bundesliga now!
The challenge of new forces to tradition and the confrontation between the two strongest teams are all the source of the attraction of this game.
This corner kick posed a certain threat - because Bayern's air defense ability has also declined a bit, and the lack of strong central defenders is a problem for them. Metzelder defeated Kufuor and headed the ball in the back, and Kavina followed up.
Ji was about to head the ball to the goal, but Ballack, who was back on defense, pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Rivaldo shot directly from a long distance before Jeremys, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Bayern quickly launched a counterattack - even in the away game, they were embarrassed by Dortmund's continuous attacks. Their counterattack was very simple. After passing back and forth in the backcourt, Sagnol made a long pass to the front of the penalty area.
Ballack overpowered Frings and passed the header to Elber. With Vaughns waiting closely, Elber did not choose to attack on his own, but passed the ball back to Ballack, who faced the ball.
Shoot the ball 17 meters away from the goal without stopping!
Lehmann made a save that was not inferior to that of Kahn. He jumped up and raised his hand in the air, and narrowly hit the ball out of the bottom line. It was a corner kick!
Lizarazu came up and took a corner kick. Ballack headed the ball high under the attack of Metzelder and Warnes. The ball went over the crossbar. Bayern's attack was in vain.
Amid the cheers of the Dortmund fans, Dortmund did not stop, but continued to attack. Under Rosicky's dispatch, they continued to pass the ball to the frontcourt, and then began to pass the ball back and forth in the frontcourt, looking for scoring opportunities.
Chance.
Bayern's midfield running ability is very strong. Although Jeremys is old, he still retains his brave and courageous style. Hargreaves is not the glass man in the future, and Ballack is both offensive and defensive -
- Even Ze Roberto is an all-round midfielder who can not only play on the wing, but also as a defensive midfielder. You can imagine the pressure that such a midfielder feels when running.
In fact, this season, Bayern's midfield updates have been quite good, but their offensive capabilities have begun to decline on the front and defense. Although Elber still scores a lot of goals, in fact, his deterrence is
It has begun to decline, and what is more serious is the defense. After the steel defense line headed by Matthaus has aged, retired, and left, the combination of Kufuor and Robert Kovac actually
The lack of strong central defenders is their problem, which is why they failed in the first group stage of the Champions League - the strength of the defense and forward lines began to decline, and the midfielder was still weak.
Without integration, the results will naturally be poor.
It's just that Bayern's management is quite wise, and they have a lot of money, so it is not difficult to restore their strength. In the next few years, they quickly completed the replacement of the forward and defensive lines, Ma Kai, Demi
Kelis, Lucio, Van Buyten, Ismail and others gradually turned Bayern into a brand new Bayern and maintained their competitiveness.
This is actually the strongest point of Bayern. They are strong because they have a top-level management team. Beckenbauer, Hernes Rummenigge and others are all superstars when they play football, and they are great when they manage.
The genius of a top manager is an advantage that other clubs do not have.
Dick can't go against the will, he can only try to steal as many championships from Bayern when he is coaching. He believes that although this harms Bayern's interests, it can make the Bundesliga more diverse. In the long run,
is more beneficial.
After passing the ball back and forth, Dortmund finally created an excellent opportunity. Dede made a forward assist and was pulled to the ground by Hargreaves. Dortmund got a free kick from the sideline. Rosicky drove the ball into the penalty area and scored in front of him.
Metzelder and others in the middle attracted the attention of Bayern's defense, but Cavinagi appeared at the back point through running, and faced the falling ball and shot with his left foot immediately!
Before the Bayern fans screamed and the Dortmund fans shouted excitedly, the ball rubbed the outside of the goal post and flew out of the baseline!
"What a pity! Cavinaji missed an excellent opportunity! His previous running position was quite good. He got rid of Link who was marking him by running back and forth, and appeared in the most critical place. Unfortunately,
On the last kick, it missed slightly! Dortmund missed too many opportunities, could they be in a bad situation?"
Cavinaji held his head while sighing. When he shot the shot just now, the timing was a little hasty and he failed to grasp the angle of the shot. This made him extremely regretful - if the opportunity is lost, it is lost, but he still
There is a chance.
"After all, you are still too young..." Dick sighed slightly, but he did not regret it too much. It is obvious that what we need to grasp now is not to let the players' mentality fluctuate because of this ball. There are always opportunities.
Yes, it will happen, as long as you are not too impatient.
After escaping from death, Bayern also felt a little bit in shock. Both sides played a bit sloppily in the next game. However, after all, both sides are the top teams in the Bundesliga. They quickly calmed down and started to get involved in the game again.
.
Bayern also launched a counterattack quickly. Sagnol threw a side ball. Ballack took the ball from the front of the penalty area and passed it diagonally. Ze Roberto, who came in from the left, met the ball and shot directly. The ball went over the crossbar.
"The two sides are now in a stalemate... There are still fifteen minutes before the end of the first half. If we can't score again, it will depend on the tactical adjustments of both sides. After all, at this time, the two sides will appear more stable and it will be a draw.
It's also much better to get into midfield than to get into midfield behind."
As soon as the commentator's words hit the ground, Dortmund immediately launched another counterattack!
Rosicky turned around and passed a beautiful long pass under the interference of the opponent. Alves, who boldly stepped forward to assist, received the ball and then faced Lizarazu's defense and forced a breakthrough before passing the ball. Lizarazu reacted quickly
, quickly returned to defense, raised his foot and blocked the ball from the baseline, corner kick.
Faced with this corner kick, Bayern's defense was a little nervous again - they were now at a disadvantage in terms of height. Rosicky's corner kick went directly to the center. Kyle and Hargreaves, who was returning to defense, jumped up to compete for the top at the same time. Their height was at a disadvantage.
The disadvantaged Hargreaves lost his balance during the confrontation, and he hit the ball with his raised arm. When both sides landed, referee Merck's whistle also sounded, and he ran towards the penalty area.
Then he pointed to the penalty spot—a penalty kick!
The Dortmund fans at the scene burst into collective applause, and the Bayern players began to complain. Hargreaves, who played handball, seemed even more excited. He kept saying something to Merck, which made
He received his first yellow card since the start of the game...
"Up to this point in the game, neither side has made much action, which meant that Merck, who had a high card-playing rate, did not show any cards... But Hargreaves was too excited after complaining about the handball and got the penalty for the game.
The first yellow card! Bayern players, be careful, you are facing the Bundesliga's most fond of playing cards!"
Obviously, the yellow card shown by Merck made Bayern's players start to wake up. They are not facing a kind-hearted coach, but they don't mind using double-digit cards to make themselves the protagonists.
The referee...
Bayern's players calmly stopped protesting. Rivaldo came up, took the ball, and put it on the penalty spot.
This was not the first time he faced Kahn. Facing Kahn, Rivaldo didn't feel any psychological pressure. It's not that he missed the penalty kick, but his penalty kick rate was still very high.
The Dortmund fans in the stands are a little worried. It's not that they don't trust Rivaldo, but that Dortmund has missed two excellent opportunities in this game. If they are unlucky in this game, they won't be able to take a penalty kick.
What should I do if I enter?
With everyone watching, Merck blew the whistle that allowed him to take the penalty, and Rivaldo started to run. Kahn also tensed up all his nerves and stared at Rivaldo's footsteps.
Rivaldo rushed close to the ball, swung his left foot, and then used his right foot as a pivot to shoot the ball hard!
Low ball, flying straight to the right side of the goal!
Kahn made a timely judgment immediately. He flew sideways and pounced, seemingly able to pounce...
However, the ball flew halfway, fell quickly, hit the lawn, and then quickly bounced upwards, just past Kahn's outstretched hand, and quickly flew into Bayern's gate!
At the same time, cheers like a landslide and tsunami sounded from the sky above the Westfalenstadion, and 67,000 Dortmund fans gave a huge cheer, celebrating the goal that gave them the lead!
"The ball went in! Although Kahn's judgment was correct, he still failed to save the ball! One to zero! In a stalemate, Dortmund took the lead with a penalty kick before the end of the first half, which allowed them to occupy
Gained the advantage! Rivaldo calmly
This penalty kick was scored. I have to say that the introduction of Rivaldo with the highest salary this season was the right signing for Dortmund this season! He has scored many goals in the Bundesliga, and in the Champions League, he always
Key goals to push Dortmund forward!"
Dick stood up, shook his fist heavily, and yelled at the stands.
His wild roar this time brought an even greater impact to the already hot stands! The entire stands were dancing with yellow flames, which was the Dortmund fans expressing their emotions!
Until the end of the first half, the shouting did not end. Instead, the shouting continued, so much so that the referee's whistle was almost drowned in the shouting.
Dick stood up and walked into the tunnel first. He was leading by one goal in the first half. This was not a big advantage. He had to master it well in the second half, otherwise, he might lose the lead.
The Dortmund fans in the stands are still cheering. They are looking forward to the moment when they defeat Bayern and expand their lead to five points. This means that the league championship is very likely to go to Dortmund!
