In the locker room, facing some frustrated players, Dick made a gesture of pressing down with his hands to signal them not to worry.
"The current situation is not very favorable for us, but it is not the time to despair yet... As long as we score one goal, we will be on the same starting line with our opponents again, but what if we score two more goals? Then
Juventus also needs to score two goals to eliminate us! Don’t you think the current situation is very similar to the last round against Atletico Madrid? It’s just that we had already scored in the first half at that time.
The only difference is this, so don't worry. In the first half of the game, we were not at a disadvantage offensively. They just seized two opportunities. This is the characteristic of Serie A teams.
But don’t forget that we also broke through their door twice. In such a game, any goal will have a huge impact, and we are definitely not desperate! Do you know the advantage of playing home and then away?
That is, even if we are behind 0-4 in the away game, we still have a chance to advance! What’s more, it’s only 0-2 now!”
After boosting the morale of the players, Dick began to talk about tactical details: "Juventus' advantage in the first half was not as big as it seemed. In fact, they just defended well.
That's all... I think we had a misunderstanding in the first half, that is, there were more passes, but there were fewer breakthroughs... Juventus' overall defense is good, and their mobility is also quite good, relying only on back and forth kicks.
It is difficult to break through their defense. After we move the ball upfield, we boldly break through when we have the opportunity! They use breakthroughs to create opportunities and goals. Their luck is indeed very good. So far, they have had two inexplicable mistakes.
The goal appeared, but luck alone is not enough! As long as we continue to attack, we can always get the score back. As long as we get back one point, then it will be their turn to start panicking! Do you understand, in the second half?
Use passing to pass through the midfield, and then use more breakthroughs to create opportunities within the thirty-meter area. Set kicks will also be a good scoring opportunity for us. We must use all methods to score goals. In the second half
We need to score more goals to take the initiative! We can lose this game, but I can only accept losing one goal. I don’t care if we lose and advance, all I want is to advance!”
Even a trivial promotion is much better than the so-called death with a bang. Now trailing by two goals in the first half, Dick knows that even a draw in this game is unlikely to advance, but Dortmund now has
If the final score of the game is two to three or three to four... then it will be Dortmund who will advance!
The Juventus fans were extremely happy singing and cheering in the stands. In their view, Dortmund was no match for Juventus. Now they only need to wait for the forty-five minutes of the second half to end, and then they can
Ushering in their seventh Champions League final in club history!
Dick did not make any substitutions, and neither did Lippi. It is obvious that Lippi is very satisfied with the team's current performance, while Dick does not need to make too many adjustments. Several of his trump cards are not what they are now.
Just need to use it...
After the start of the second half, it was Dortmund's turn to start attacking continuously, while Juventus firmly defended its 30-meter area, waiting for opportunities to score.
In the 48th minute, Rivaldo received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and knocked back. Kyle, who was advancing forward, took a long shot from 23 meters away and the ball flew over the crossbar!
In the 52nd minute, Cavinagy received a direct pass from Rosicky and broke into the penalty area to shoot. The ball slightly missed the far post.
In the 54th minute, Juventus launched a counterattack. Nedvěd crossed from the left and then took a long shot. The ball missed the right post.
In the 56th minute, Rosicky took a free kick and Rivaldo grabbed the ball from behind. However, due to interference from Davis, he failed to touch the ball. Rivaldo signaled Davis for a foul. The Swiss referee Mai
I didn't call a foul.
Seeing that Dortmund's offense seemed to be getting stronger, and they continued to attack from the right, Billindelli was suppressed again. Lippi replaced Billindelli with Pesotto in the 60th minute, wanting to strengthen the left wing.
defense.
However, then, Dortmund suddenly began to dribble the ball from the center and break through!
Frings dribbled the ball forward. Tacchinardi fouled from the side and received a yellow card. Frings took the free kick and hit the goal hard, but Buffon flew out and saved it.
Then Okocha forced a breakthrough at the front of the penalty area and fell to the ground under the attack of Davis and Montero. However, the referee awarded Okocha a foul. This made Okocha very angry. During the dispute, he received a card.
Yellow card.
Dick held his chin and stared at the court. He could see that Juventus seemed to be a little relaxed in their defense in the middle. Montero was brave and Tudor had the height, but these two were stable.
It is not as good as Ferrara and Iuliano. If there is a good breakthrough opportunity, it should be able to create opportunities...
What he wants now is a goal. As long as there is a goal, the situation of the entire game will change drastically!
Sixty-six minutes.
Cavinagi, who came out of the penalty area and came to the left, received Rivaldo's pass, and then he immediately turned around and started to force a breakthrough into the opponent's penalty area - this action seemed a bit reckless, because in front of him, there was Zambro
Three defensive players, Tower, Thuram and Tudor...
Kavinagy planned to pass the ball with a man, but he passed between Thuram and Tudor, but the ball did not pass - the ball hit Tudor and bounced diagonally towards him.
The frontier of the restricted area!
However, at this time, Rosicky appeared at the edge of the penalty area for the first time. When Davis was about to block his long shot, he pushed with the arch of his foot and sent the ball directly into the penalty area!
Cavinagy, who had just emerged from the crowd, received Rosicky's diagonal pass! Unguarded in the penalty area, he faced the attacking Buffon!
Just when Cavignaghi swung his right foot, Montero, who was filling in, had already arrived. He made a fierce tackle and directly knocked Cavinagy to the ground!
"Red card! Penalty kick!"
Dick suddenly jumped up from the coaching bench and shouted loudly to the court.
Meyer's whistle sounded. He ran towards the penalty area and pointed at the penalty spot. This action made Dick wave his fist. However, he did not show Montero a red card, not even a yellow card.
Not shown!
"This scale is too damn wide!" Dick shouted from the sidelines, but he did not shout this sentence in English, but in Chinese...
The Juventus fans in the stands also booed. In their opinion, this was not a penalty kick at all - being a referee sometimes suffers a lot. No matter how the penalty is awarded, the fans of both sides will always be dissatisfied.
——Of course, there are exceptions for referees who can get extra income. Although they risk going to jail, life will always be easier.
After complaining for a while, the Juventus players dispersed. They knew full well that they still took advantage. As the last defensive player, Montero did not receive a card for a foul like this.
The penalty is very lenient. If there is a stricter head coach, penalty kicks and red cards are not impossible, and the penalties can be awarded with confidence.
Rivaldo stepped forward, and at this moment, it seemed that he was the only one who could take the penalty kick.
After Meyer blew the whistle to take the penalty, Rivaldo took a run and shot - but Buffon made a beautiful side dive and blocked his penalty kick with his body!
Huge cheers erupted from the stands! Juventus fans’ confidence reached its peak at this moment, but at the next moment, their cheers turned into exclamations!
Cavinagy was the first to appear in front of the ball that was saved by Buffon, and then he faced the rolling ball and shot immediately!
Now Buffon had no way to stop it. The ball flew into the door of Juventus in the next second!
Then Cavinagy rushed out - but he still remembered that if he received another yellow card, he would be suspended in the final, so he resisted the urge to take off his clothes to celebrate. He rushed directly to the visiting team's coaching bench, then opened his arms and rushed over
Dick hugged each other!
"Well done, Fernando!" said Dick, laughing.
"Thank you, boss, otherwise I wouldn't have had such an opportunity!" Kavinaj said to Dick with the same excitement.
If Dick hadn't brought him to Europe, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such an outstanding performance in the Champions League at the age of twenty. His agent told him that many teams are already interested in him.
Because of his interest, he is willing to pay a high salary to take him away - Cavinagy doesn't know whether he will continue to play in Dortmund, but he knows one thing, that is, his future is boundless now!
While the Dortmund players were celebrating wildly, the Juventus fans were silent because they were shocked to find that with just this goal, the two sides were back on the same starting line again, and in the next game, if Dortmund
If Dortmund scores one, they have to score two, if Dortmund scores two, they have to score three - and so on...
Judging from this situation, it is not Dortmund who is in a bad situation now, but Juventus, who seemed to be in a good situation at the end of the first half!
"Cavinagy scored his tenth goal in the Champions League this season! This goal brought the two sides back to the same starting line! Now it seems that the situation is starting to be favorable to Dortmund, after all, they only need to score goals
To gain an overall advantage, Juventus can no longer bear the consequences of conceding goals, and their offense may be greatly affected..."
"The charm of the two-round home and away game lies in this! Now Dortmund can attack boldly, but Juventus must be careful about the consequences of being scored! Dortmund's goal turned the whole situation back! Finally entered
Let us wait and see whether Juventus or Dortmund will win the Champions League final, whether Juventus succeeds in revenge, or whether Dortmund makes Juventus swallow the bitter pill of defeat again!"
Amidst the frantic explanations from various commentators, Dick straightened out the clothes that were messed up when hugging others, then raised his head and sneered at the Juventus fans in the stands, and then sat down.
Yes, Dortmund is not as strong as Juventus, but in football matches, there are many examples of David and Goliath defeating the strong. Seven years ago, Hitzfeld allowed Dortmund to defeat Juventus, which was in full swing. Seven years later, I can do the same.
