After entering the locker room, Dortmund's players seemed very excited. Even though they had been at the top of the list for a long time, they always felt uneasy before defeating Bayern.
Bayern's title of Bundesliga hegemon is not something that can be achieved by itself. It is a prestigious title that far exceeds that of any other team. It is accumulated time and time again! They have won three consecutive championships many times and two consecutive championships.
It is no longer a good result for them. In the past, they were able to maintain an advantage in the league while fighting hard in European competitions almost every season. Even Dortmund fans have to admit that Dortmund has always been a success.
In every aspect, it is still far behind Bayern.
Now that they are ahead of them, if they can beat them, Dortmund's players will feel better and be sure that they have indeed established enough advantages!
Dick did not stop them, but waited until they were almost done celebrating before raising his hand to signal the players to quiet down.
"We are ahead, which is a gratifying thing, but one thing we need to be clear about is that taking the lead in the first half does not mean that we will definitely win this game! We have not won for seven years.
Passed Bayern, led many times, but still failed to win in the end. Bayern is a strong enemy, there is no doubt about this, they are the overlord of the Bundesliga, what we have to do is to impact their overlord status, this is
It was a very difficult impact, and after the start of the second half, we can't let up any slack!"
Dick's words made all the Dortmund players nod. They knew this. Bayern was indeed a very strong opponent, otherwise they would not have been suppressing the Bundesliga powers. Their dominance has indeed declined in the past two years.
They have made a lot of mistakes, but this season they were eliminated from the Champions League early, allowing them to invest more energy and confidence in the league. This itself is an opponent that is very difficult to beat.
"In the second half, we continued to struggle with them in the midfield. At this level of the game, there is actually no room for tactical changes. We know what kind of players Bayern has, what characteristics they have, and what tactics they use. Likewise,
Bayern is also familiar with us. At all levels, we will not be better than Bayern. The only place where we can have an advantage is height! Just like our game against Atletico Madrid, set pieces will be our most important offensive weapon.
! Press them in the midfield so that their forwards cannot get the ball, suppress them on the wings, boldly break through when you have the opportunity, shoot more, create opportunities for set pieces, and then use height to defeat them! Do you understand? This
This is our tactics, this is how we beat Bayern!"
"Understood!"
The Dortmund players began to wave their fists and shout loudly. They had unparalleled passion for this game, just like facing the knockout round of the Champions League!
The season has progressed to mid-April, which means that there will not be much time in this season. Every next game is very important. There are no national team competitions to play in the summer. They have to come up with something before the break.
Use all your enthusiasm and efforts to win all the remaining games!
When the players from both sides appeared on the court again, the Dortmund fans, who had also rested during the halftime break, continued to give out huge cheers. They had accumulated enough strength to allow them to continue in the second half of the game.
shouting for the team they support with the loudest voice!
Dick did not make any substitutions because he had no better candidates to replace. His strongest lineup was already on the field. Next, at most, some tactical adjustments would be made. Heathfield also did not make any substitutions. He had been full of injured players.
Although Bayern has returned three generals from the front line, the thickness of their bench has been greatly affected. There are no capable personnel to replace on the bench, they are all young players.
After the start of the second half, the two sides were entangled in the midfield again, and the scene seemed dull. After all, neither side was able to attack with all their strength. Bayern was not in a hurry yet. Dortmund was now leading the score, and there was no need to risk an attack.
.
In terms of running, Bayern has an advantage, but in terms of technical aspects, Dortmund has a slight advantage - Dick himself is a technical head coach. After debuting in La Liga, he still had a considerable impact on his coaching style.
Impact, after coming to Dortmund, he introduced mainly technical players. After having European players with outstanding skills like Rosicky and well-known technical players like Rivaldo and Okocha in the midfield, Dortmund
The technical content of their midfield is the best in the Bundesliga. Bayern cannot compare with them, and Bremen cannot compare with them either.
Bayern's attack was very fierce. Dortmund relied more on ground attack when attacking. Both sides have their own strengths. Bayern will make more offensive mistakes. However, under their pressure, Dortmund can't even think about it.
He easily created opportunities through passing, and the situation remained deadlocked.
Ballack created a pretty good opportunity in the 51st minute. He passed the Dortmund defense with a beautiful pass in the midfield. Elber, who came in from the back row, headed the ball towards the goal while running.
Lehmann flew up and reached out in the air to block his header shot. The falling ball was kicked far away by Dede who returned to defense in time.
"Bayern's offense is quite good. Ballack performed well in this game and showed his style as Germany's number one star. He is the player who poses the greatest threat to Dortmund."
The commentator's words were correct. Although Ballack seemed a little tepid since the beginning of the game, in fact, Bayern's threatening offense was initiated by him, whether it was shooting or passing, despite the joint confrontation of Kyle and Frings.
It's difficult to suppress his offense.
Dick frowned and thought for a while, then made a gesture to Flins, telling him to boldly attack and use the offense to suppress Ballack's attack. You must know that Ballack also shoulders a heavy defensive task.
, if he is contained, then Dortmund's offense will appear to be much smoother.
Seeing Dick's gesture, Frings seemed very happy. He didn't want to just defend. Using offense to help the team score goals would be a more obvious way to suppress Ballack. Soon he began to move forward frequently.
Come on, his forward penetration suddenly increased Bayern's defensive pressure a lot. Jeremys himself needed Hargreaves' constant help to be able to deal with the onslaught of Rivaldo and Okocha. More
After Flynns, they immediately seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
Ballack was forced to retreat more to stabilize the defense, which began to reduce the pressure on Dortmund's defense. When Dick smiled, Elber once again showed his true qualities as a Dortmund killer!
Lizarazu, who stepped in to assist, received a pass from Ze Roberto. Under the interference of Alves, he still rushed away from the defense with speed. Alves did not give up and kept chasing. If Lizarazu
If Razu dares to break through with the ball, he will definitely be able to catch up with the opponent and entangle the opponent.
Lizarazu did not choose to break through, but raised his left foot while running and passed the ball into Dortmund's penalty area!
This cross drew an obvious arc in the air, which was not in line with Lizarazu's usual passing style.
Metzelder jumped up in the middle to head the ball to clear the ball, but he was still a step too slow. The ball flew over his head and then fell diagonally to the back point.
Warnes wanted to make a clearance, but he collided with Pizarro, which caused the ball to fly to the back point without any hindrance. Lehmann quickly moved his steps to block the angle at which the ball might be lost, and then
He saw Elber appear at the back point, and then raised his right foot...
"Want to shoot from a small angle? I have blocked all angles!" Lehmann thought in his mind.
However, Elber shot a very tricky shot. He hit the side of the ball, which caused the ball to have an obvious arc when flying in the air. Lehmann was caught off guard. When he reached out, the ball had already passed his hand.
He went around and then flew into the door behind Lyman!
"The ball went in! Beautiful goal! Elber's volley shot scored the goal of Dortmund! Such a goal is really wonderful. This is the seventh time Elber scored the goal of Dortmund in Bayern! If you count
If he scored in Stuttgart, this was already the tenth goal he scored against Dortmund! For Dortmund, this Brazilian is really a disgusting presence!"
"Two Brazilians used two imaginative shots to break the gap between the two main goalkeepers of the German national team... The Bundesliga is indeed a paradise for Brazilians. Although it is difficult for them to enter the national team, they can fully demonstrate themselves
Skills and imagination! Now the score is a draw. It is estimated that this will not be the end. Neither side will be willing to accept a draw. If it is a draw, Bayern will still be two points behind Dortmund and cannot control its fate in its own hands.
After losing the first round, Dortmund still cannot beat Bayern at home, which will make them unable to concentrate on the next game in the Champions League..."
The commentators commented on this goal one after another. It is now the 62nd minute of the game. The one-to-one score makes the next game even more exciting, because you don't know what kind of situation will happen.
I don’t know what the result will be!
Dick bit his lower lip. It was not a shame to be defeated by such a conceding goal. However, for him, he had to win this game - he lost to Arsenal in the Champions League before.
He would have to fight tooth and nail to get back this face by defeating Arsenal at home, let alone against Bayern in the league? Besides, defeating Bayern is a more necessary thing. The five-point advantage is enough to qualify Dortmund to take over.
They lost a game in the next league. Such a buffer is very important for Dortmund!
After looking at the watch, Dick chose to make a substitution. Olic came on the field and replaced Okocha. Okocha's physical fitness declined rapidly in the previous run. This is the time to use this super substitute.
.
When they saw Olic preparing to play on the sidelines, Dortmund fans gave a huge cheer. From this substitution, they could see Dick's idea, which was to use offense to win this game!
This approach is in line with their appetite. What they want is to be vigorous. Even if they lose in the end, they don't want a boring draw to maintain a mere two-point advantage, and then struggle back and forth between the league and the Champions League!
This is Dortmund's style, this is Dortmund's momentum!
