This situation is indeed somewhat unexpected by Juventus.
Dortmund scored through a beautiful three-man combination, and then began to suppress Juventus. During this suppression, Juventus received two yellow cards in a row, and Iuliano was suspended for the next game.
The situation is not very good for Juventus.
However, these two yellow cards were not without effect. After being interrupted by Juventus' defense for two consecutive offensive rhythms, Dortmund's inspired morale dropped slightly and began to slow down the rhythm when attacking.
Dick glanced at Lippi from a distance. This silver fox was indeed an old fox. Just now, he gave some instructions on the sidelines. Juventus immediately and decisively started to interrupt Dortmund's offensive rhythm with continuous fouls.
With these two yellow cards, Juventus had four fouls in just ten minutes. Lippi took the risk of being short of major generals in the next round and made such a decision, paying a certain price while allowing
Dortmund's hopes of scoring another goal are dashed!
Dick shook his head slightly, then stood up and made a gesture to the court. Since such morale cannot be utilized, let's do it slowly. Even if it is one to zero, it is an acceptable result.
Dortmund controlled both wings - Dortmund was very powerful on the wings in this game. In addition to using Rivaldo to fight with the opponent on the left, the main offensive location was on its right -
- Alves, Ruyter and Okocha continued to attack from this side. In addition to suppressing Nedvěd, they also made Billindry miserable. Kavinaj kept retreating, allowing Juventus to
Sri Lanka's two central defenders had to pull out more to help defend.
When the game reached the 41st minute, Rivaldo got the ball in the penalty area. He controlled the ball beautifully, brought the ball out under the attack of four opponents, and then passed the ball to the back.
Point, but unfortunately Cavinaji, who followed up, was a step too late and failed to touch the ball.
Missing this opportunity made the Dortmund fans feel a bit regretful, but they did not think that Juventus could get back a point in the first half. However, Juventus' late strike made the entire stadium stunned in the 44th minute.
Dortmund fans are stunned!
Dortmund's attack went beyond the baseline. Buffon took a big kick in the backcourt. Zambrotta and Davis passed the header in succession. The ball fell to Tudor's feet. For a moment, no one came up to block him. The Croatian immediately sent a ball
The ball was passed to the left side of the penalty area
Del Piero was there to catch the ball, and Ismael pressed up from behind. However, Del Piero, who had not performed much in the entire first half, showed his excellent skills at this moment. He did not stop the ball directly, but
He bumped the ball with his thigh, then quickly lifted the ball over his head, and then quickly turned around to break through!
Ismael was completely defeated by Piero's flash!
After turning around and getting rid of Ismail, Del Piero immediately started to shoot. Alves returned to defend and blocked the ball. The ball hit him and flew into the penalty area. Trezeguet followed up in the middle like a ghost.
Appearing on the flight path of the ball, he stopped the ball with his abdomen, and then decisively kicked the ball into the lower left corner of the goal before Metzelder struggled to block it!
Although Lehmann made a save, he was still a step too slow. The ball flew past his fingertips and then flew into the goal!
"The ball... the ball went in! Juventus didn't create any good opportunities throughout the first half. However, in stoppage time, their big kick in the backcourt resulted in such a goal! This series
Dortmund's attack was such that Dortmund didn't even have time to react! Let's take a look at slow motion, Buffon's long pass, Zambrotta heading the ball back in front of Kyle, Davis heading the ball in front of Okocha
To Tudor, Tudor made a long pass to Piero. Piero turned around and broke through and shot. It hit Alves and flew to the middle. Trezeguet appeared where he should be, with a kick.
Easy push! Juventus is indeed the most typical Italian team. They made a comeback in an instant when they were at a disadvantage!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Trezeguet rushed to the stands where hundreds of Juventus fans were and greeted the cheers of the fans. The Dortmund fans collectively booed to express their dissatisfaction!
Dick crossed his arms and shook his head slightly - facing such a result, Dick could only shake his head. It was obvious that this was not a problem with his players, but the performance of Juventus in this goal.
Out of top form and cooperation, as well as luck - Tudor's exquisite long pass is not something that the Croatian can easily pass. Even Del Piero's man-ball passed and Trezeguet's
There is also an element of luck in following up...
When a goal like this is scored, you need to stay calm even more.
When the Juventus players finished celebrating, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Dick did not return to the locker room immediately. Instead, he patted the players on the shoulders one by one on the sidelines, and finally
Walking into the tunnel behind all the players, he wanted to use this attitude to express, I don't blame you, just do your best next time.
"Have a good rest and prepare for the second half of the game."
After entering the locker room, Dick only said this sentence, and then asked the players to rest. It was not until ten minutes later that he spoke again, and the first words he said surprised the Dortmund players.
's open mouth.
"After this first half, one thing I can be sure of is that we will definitely win this game!"
Can we definitely win? Boss, we were just equalized before the end of the first half. Their condition will only be better in the second half. Why are you so confident?
At that moment, even the player who believed in Dick the most felt that Dick was talking too much - in fact, this was a very dangerous signal. When they took the lead, the morale and state of the entire Dortmund team reached
However, after being blocked by the opponent's consecutive fouls and equalizing the score at a critical moment before the end of the first half, Dortmund's morale began to suffer the most severe blow, because they began to feel that Juventus
Such a powerful and difficult opponent will give them the harshest blow.
"Do you know why I say this? I can show you the technical statistics of the first half." Dick turned around and started writing on the tactical board.
Thirteen shots vs. five, ball possession rate 69% vs. 31%, four fouls vs. eight, zero yellow cards vs. two... From a statistical point of view, Dortmund occupies the top spot.
Absolute advantage.
"Look at what kind of advantage we have achieved... Juventus didn't create any good opportunities at all in the first half! That goal conceded can only be said to be extremely lucky. Think about it, if
This was something they had planned...Why did they launch this attack with a long pass?"
Dick's words made the Dortmund players start to think involuntarily. Yes, if Juventus does have such strength, why was it Buffon's long pass that launched the goal? If this was the plan.
Okay, Buffon's long pass can accurately pass the header of Zambrotta and Davis in the frontcourt, and then let the most inconspicuous Tudor launch a long pass... It's all a coincidence, a coincidence.
It can only be described as luck!
"So you know, they had nothing to do with the way we attacked in the first half! And they didn't have the ability to counterattack into our door. As long as we can continue to maintain the offensive way we did in the first half, control the midfield, and then score from time to time
If we launch an attack and interrupt their offensive rhythm, then we will definitely be the ones to win in the end! They can't always have such luck. As long as we don't relax and fight against them with our previous state and performance, then we will win.
It will definitely be us!"
Dick's words pulled the Dortmund players out of the mood that was about to have doubts. They began to have more confidence and believed that they would be able to kill their opponents with offense. They believed that the victory in this game must be
Belongs to them!
As for the opponent scoring a goal at home, will they win in the end? Who will think about this? Win at home first! Dortmund players also know that they are playing one more game in the Champions League.
They didn't think too much about whether they could enter the finals or not, so naturally they were less worried about gains and losses.
I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it, that's all.
It is precisely because of this mentality and the approach of going all out in every game that Dortmund was able to stumble out of the two group matches without any advantage in strength.
At the last moment, they defeated Atletico Madrid, who was obviously stronger than them, allowing them to suppress Juventus in this game!
Dick knows that this is Dortmund's most valuable asset. If this is lost, Dortmund will not have any possibility of winning the Champions League this season. If this is not clear, then Dortmund will only be able to win the Champions League this season.
Have a chance to compete for the league championship!
Seeing the players' faces becoming more confident, Dick nodded slightly.
This is right, only in this way can we have hope of winning the championship. If we lose this emotion, it means that we have given up any hope of advancement before the result appears!
"Now, let these guys know that seven years ago they lost to us and seven years later they're still going to lose to us at the Westfalenstadion! Beat them and start our road trip well.
head!"
The emotions of the Dortmund players have been completely aroused at this moment. They waved their fists one by one, shouted loudly, and then, led by the captain of this game Ruyter, walked out of the locker room and prepared to
Looking forward to the next game!
When the players from both sides came on the field, the Dortmund fans in the stands once again gave out huge cheers. Although the score was equalized in the first half, they were very satisfied that the game could be played so far, no matter whether Dortmund would win next
Appearing at Old Trafford will not make them feel disappointed. All they have to do is support Dortmund as they do now, and that is enough!
"Have you seen what the fans did? This is what we need to learn from!" Dick said to the substitute players around him when he walked out of the tunnel: "Don't be too concerned about gains and losses. After all, we are used to it.
It is not easy for our strength to reach this point. As long as we can show all our abilities in the next game, no matter what the final result is, we will be the winner!"
