"We won the game, and I'm very satisfied with the result of this game. Although we should have won more, in such a rough environment, it's good that we can win. So I am very satisfied."
Dick's first words after attending the press conference were full of gunpowder. Lippi naturally knew that Dick was saying that the actions of the Juventus players on the field were too rough, but he did not get angry and just said lightly.
: "I don't know when the Bundesliga clubs also started to feel that the other party's actions were too rough."
"There is a line between flagrant fouls and tactical fouls." Dick replied tit-for-tat: "But we won the game, and we will try our best to win the game in the away game. As long as the opponent does not commit a flagrant foul, then we will
I will also abide by the rules of the game. The team I lead has never used flagrant fouls in order to win. Of course, if the opponent likes to do this, I still have a few substitute players who can be sacrificed."
The two sides broke up unhappy at the post-match press conference, and the details of Dick's face-to-face coaching with two young players on the sidelines were also revealed after the game. This caused the Italian media to criticize Dick for overreacting.
The German media believed that Dick was just using this to put pressure on the opponent. The team he led rarely received cards - they did not see that in the games coached by Merck, he only had one player.
Got a yellow card?
This war of words will continue, and Dortmund has already begun preparing for the 32nd round of the league.
This game is against Nuremberg at home - Nuremberg has basically been relegated and has become a settlement. They are now ranked 17th, five points behind Monchengladbach, which is 15th. Unless they say
Next, they can win completely, and then Monchengladbach can only score three points to avoid relegation. However, Dortmund, who is now making great strides towards the league championship, cannot relax at this time!
In this game, although the players played very hard in the last game, Dortmund's substitute players have been waiting for this game for a long time, and Dick did not let them down. He sent out almost all the players in this game.
Substitute players come to play this game.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, left back Madoni, right back Alves, center backs Vaughns and Ismael, in the midfield, Demel, Klinger and Frings form the back three.
The two attacking midfielders are Ricken and Everton, with Olic leading forward.
Warnes and Frings are the main players of the team, but they were suspended in the last Champions League game. There is no problem in this starting game, and Alves is still young. Such a lineup can make Dortmund's main players
They got enough rest time, and Dortmund's substitutes also showed excellent performance in this game!
Ricken opened the scoring for Dortmund in the 28th minute, and ten minutes into the second half, he scored twice to give Dortmund the victory. Then Everton and Olic scored in the 65th and
After scoring two goals in the 66th minute, Dortmund finally defeated Nuremberg at home. This victory allowed them to continue to lead the standings with a three-point advantage.
Of course, Bayern is not to be outdone. In this game, they defeated the powerful Hertha Berlin 6-3 in the away game. They also showed excellent form - there are two rounds left in the league, and Bayern is now three points behind Dortmund.
, but in terms of goal difference, they are one point ahead of Dortmund. If Dortmund loses one of the next league rounds, Bayern may rely on the advantage of goal difference to win the league championship. They have not lost hope.
After this round of league matches, the Dortmund team flew to Turin, waiting for the arrival of the Champions League semi-finals.
Challenging Juventus away from home, if they can advance, it will be the second time in their history that they have entered the Champions League final!
Of the eight games Dick mentioned before, they have already played four, three league games and one Champions League game. Now they hope to play two more Champions League games.
"I don't know why the media thinks we are in a disadvantageous situation, don't forget we are leading 2-1. Do Juventus have away goal advantage? I don't think we can't score a goal away from home. Before we were in
We finally advanced after a one-on-one home match, and we will advance again this time!”
Dick has been very high-profile since arriving in Turin, which instantly made him the enemy of all Juventus supporters.
"Let that arrogant Chinese die!"
Many Juventus fans have made such appeals. In their view, this guy Dick is simply guilty of a heinous crime. He dares to disrespect the great Juventus, especially after winning 2-1 at home and showing
You have to be so confident... Yes, we do have two main players suspended and unable to play, but with our background, it is still possible to field a strong starting lineup!
"We will let Dortmund see how Juventus will perform at our home court." Lippi's answer was quite elegant.
On May 15, hundreds of Dortmund fans and more than 50,000 Juventus fans were welcomed to the Alpistadion. Obviously everyone was paying close attention to this game, because the day before, AC Milan played in
The away game drew with Inter Milan one to one, taking the lead in entering the Champions League final with the advantage of more away goals. If Juventus advances, then they will meet AC Milan in the final, and they will be the first in the history of the Champions League.
There is a confrontation between two Serie A teams at once!
Juventus fans have huge confidence in this.
Dick's starting lineup has not changed much, but he seems to be more conservative in the away game. Lehmann is the goalkeeper, Ruyter and Dede are the two full-backs, Warnes and Metzelder partner as central defenders, Kyle, Rosicky
There are three defensive midfielders with Frings, Rivaldo and Okocha in the front, and Kavinaji as the forward.
Lippi used Montero and Tudor to partner as central defenders, right back Thuram, left back Billindelli, midfielder Gianluca Zambrotta, Davis and Tachinadi as the three defensive midfielders, with Nedved forward.
, Del Piero and Trezeguet partnered up front.
What Lippi said is true. Juventus' momentum at home is indeed different.
Sometimes the difference between home and away games is here, especially when both sides are strong teams. As the home team, they are much stronger in terms of offense and self-confidence, while the visiting team will unconsciously be in a passive state.
Down.
From the beginning of the game, Juventus changed from its unhurried style in the away game and began to play very actively at home, constantly putting pressure on Dortmund's defense.
Dick was prepared for this, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Ruyter on the right instead of Alves, but he just needed to stabilize the situation in the away game.
In the first ten minutes, Juventus had three shots. Trezeguet started with a shot in the penalty area. Then Nedvěd's free kick was blocked from the sideline, and Del Piero's volley was also over the top.
Although no goals were scored on the crossbar, there was such an intensive attack at the beginning, which is enough to prove that the Juventus players have adjusted their condition very well for this game!
In comparison, Dortmund's players seem to be a bit slow...
When the game reached the twelfth minute, huge cheers came from the Juventus fans at the Alpi Stadium!
Gianluca Zambrotta passed the ball to Tachinadi from the right. Tachinadi raised the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Trezeguet beat Kyle and headed the ball to the right. Nedvěd got rid of Dede beautifully.
After a cross, the ball flew to the back point. Del Piero, who was inserted, rushed the ball in front of Ruyter and returned it to the center. Trezeguet, who followed up, took the kick before Metzelder.
, the ball flew into Dortmund's door!
"Did you see our attack?"
Countless Juventus fans roared. Such a goal made them feel extremely comfortable. Dortmund showed no resistance in this series of suppressive attacks, allowing them to strengthen their goal.
There is hope that the team can advance!
"Juventus scored at the beginning! Now they have the advantage in the two rounds. If this score is maintained until the end, then they will enter the final! Dortmund seems to be a little stunned...
"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Dortmund quickly started to counterattack - they didn't particularly care about conceding goals, because Dick emphasized from the beginning that don't expect to get a zero-0 away game, because in the away game Juventus
Tus' attack will be very fierce, and Dortmund may not be able to defend it!
Under the leadership of Rivaldo and others, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack. However, after Juventus took the lead, they began a very patient confrontation. They continued to hinder Dortmund's attack and waited for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
Looking for gaps in Dortmund's defense.
When Juventus started to play the game calmly, they were actually very scary. The two sides were strangled in the midfield. It was not easy for Dortmund to create opportunities.
In the 19th minute, Okocha created a free kick. Rivaldo's free kick bypassed the wall, but missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
In the 22nd minute, Okocha stopped the ball in the penalty area and turned around to shoot. The ball was saved by Buffon.
In the 31st minute, Okocha once again created a free kick. Rosicky's free kick went around the wall, but Buffon flew to pick the ball off.
These were the only three opportunities Dortmund created in the first half. Juventus's defense was like an iron wall and they were helpless. Although Dortmund's players were patiently looking for opportunities, it was still difficult for them to win against Juventus.
Too many chances from Tooth's defense!
And when the game reached the 43rd minute, Juventus made an inadvertent long pass and scored their second goal!
Thuram made a big kick in the backcourt, but the ball fell directly to Piero's feet. Piero dribbled the ball into the penalty area during the counterattack. Facing the oncoming Warnes, he changed directions and shook Warnes three times in a row.
He lost his center of gravity, and then Del Piero quickly volleyed with his right foot after breaking through. The ball flew between Warnes and Metzelder. Lehmann's time was blocked, and his save action was a step slower, and the ball went straight.
Dead end access to the network!
Two to zero! Before the end of the first half, Juventus extended its lead to two goals and led by a score of three to two on the total score!
"Juventus is so impressive at home! Now Dortmund is in trouble. Can they reverse their current unfavorable situation on the road? For Dortmund, the 45 minutes of the second half will be the final test of whether they can advance.
