Chapter 333 Waiting for the finals to start

"Congratulations, Dick!"

Nebom laughed and said to Dick, of course Dick knew what he meant - this was not only congratulations on winning the league championship, it also meant that Dick would have a lot of income.

Dick smiled and said nothing. At this time, Nebom sighed: "Dick, I have learned a lot this season... I think we will be better and better in the future. This Champions Cup

In the final, you must lead us to victory."

"Of course I will try my best to do it." Dick nodded. Nebom's expression seemed a little strange, a little reluctant - this made Dick a little suspicious. Could it be that Nebom had something to do with it?

Any other ideas?

But he didn't think too much. The finals were in four days. It was useless to think too much. He didn't think Nebom would do anything to him. After all, he had a contract, and Dick's reputation was at its peak now.

, to put it bluntly, now it is Dortmund who is not worthy of Dick's reputation, not Dick who is not worthy of Dortmund.

After Dick left, Nebom sighed, and then asked Zorc: "Michelle, Dortmund has reached a critical moment now..."

"Mr. Chairman, I admire your decision very much. In fact, you don't need to do this. The situation in Dortmund is slowly getting better." Zorc said solemnly.

"I've figured it out." Nebom shook his head: "What Dortmund needs now is a leader for a smooth transition. I am not suitable for such a role... I have made a decision."

Zorc shook his head in the same way: "Yeah... I hope Dick can win us a Champions League championship before then."

On May 25, the day after winning the league championship, Dick flew to Manchester with the entire Dortmund team.

"Mr. Ferguson, thank you for agreeing to let us use Manchester United's training facilities." Dick said to Ferguson with some gratitude.

Ferguson shook his head: "This is nothing... Di, to be honest, I really envy you. In all my years of leading the team, I have only entered the Champions League final once, and you have already done so twice at such a young age... How about it,

Are you interested in taking over Manchester United?"

Dick laughed: "Mr. Ferguson, please stop joking... I don't want to take your position. You know, you can still work in this position for ten years."

Ferguson smiled slightly. He was indeed joking. Dick's grades were very good, but Ferguson had not yet reached the point where his ambition had disappeared. Especially after the surgery to install a pacemaker, Ferguson felt that he could still do a lot.

long time.

But looking at young Dick, Ferguson also had an idea - it's great to be young...

Because of their personal relationship with Ferguson, Dortmund trained at Manchester United's training ground, while AC Milan borrowed Manchester City's training ground. Now the attention of world football has been focused on Manchester, and everyone is waiting for this final.

The beginning of!

Dortmund vs. AC Milan!

To get to this point, both sides paid a huge price, and fighting all the way was extremely difficult.

The two teams once met in the second group stage of the Champions League. At that time, AC Milan had a smooth start and qualified early with four consecutive wins, while Dortmund only qualified after defeating its opponents in the last two rounds.

The battles between them were actually a draw, and they both lost to each other 0-1 at home...

After entering the quarterfinals, AC Milan, like Dortmund, was also in great danger of advancing. If it hadn't been for Thomasson's goal at the last moment, they might have been tied 2-2 by Ajax at home and were defeated.

They were eliminated from the competition, and in the semi-finals, they relied on away goals to eliminate Inter Milan. If Cuarón hadn't failed to seize a single opportunity, then it might have been Inter Milan who entered the final!

Dortmund's path to promotion is equally dangerous. It can be said that the two teams entering the final are not the strongest, but they are the teams that play the best, are the toughest, the most persistent and the luckiest!

They were likely to be killed many times in the middle, but they all persevered and stood on such the highest stage. They are fully worthy of such an achievement!

Everyone is waiting for May 29th.

"In terms of personnel, both sides are very well-organized. Dida and Costacurta both had minor injuries, but they were able to make it to the final. Dortmund did not have any players injured. In terms of form, both sides are evenly matched.

, Dortmund sent most of their main players in the last round of the Serie A in order to win the championship, and AC Milan also tried their best in the last round of Serie A because they were competing for second place.”

"In terms of the number of games played, AC Milan should have an advantage. Although both sides won away games in the group stage, AC Milan already won the first place in the group in advance against Dortmund at home.

Almost all of them are substitutes, and that game cannot be used as evidence... But in the league, Dortmund's performance is better than AC Milan, and their form this season is amazing!"

"If Dick can lead the team to win the championship, then he will become the third head coach to win the Champions League twice after the restructuring of the Champions League. The first two are Hitzfield and Del Bosque... At the same time, he will also become the third coach to win the Champions League twice.

The first head coach in history to lead different teams to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons! For the 24-year-old Dick, such an achievement is enough to make him a shining star in the history of football! Of course

To leave a stronger mark, he needs long-term coaching to have sustained championship honors. After all, he is too young..."

"AC Milan has entered the Champions League final for the ninth time... They have won five of the previous eight times. Dortmund has entered the Champions League final for the second time, having previously reached the Champions League final in the 1996-97 season.

And finally win the championship. If Dortmund can win the championship, they will become the same team as Nottingham Forest that has won the championship twice after entering the final twice."

Before the start of the game, all kinds of data began to flood everyone's nerves, including that if AC Milan won the championship, Maldini and his son would become the first father and son to win the Champions League as captains - the former Maldini Jr.

When Nigeria won three championships, AC Milan was captained by Baresi - Seedorf may become the first player in history to win the Champions League with three different teams. He had previously played for Aja

Both Kings and Real Madrid have won the Champions League. Maldini will participate in the Champions League final for the sixth time, which puts him second only to Gento and Stefano...

For Dortmund, these records are out of reach for them. In the entire Dortmund, the only ones who have experience in participating in the Champions League final are Ruyter and Ricken. They are also the last remaining members of the Dortmund team that participated in the Champions League final seven years ago.

Two players, and they may not start in this game...

"AC Milan is definitely a difficult opponent to deal with. In fact, as long as they are a team that reaches the Champions League final, they will not be easy to deal with. But the Bundesliga may not be very good in the Champions League in the eyes of many people.

But don’t forget, in the five consecutive Champions League finals including this final, four Bundesliga teams appeared... This game is our last game of the season, and we will be in this game.

We tried our best in the game. AC Milan may be very powerful, but since we are able to score three goals against Juventus in the away game, we can also suppress AC Milan in the game!"

Dick seemed very confident during the interview. At this stage of the game, of course he will not play low-key to build up his character. At this time, he must be high-profile to mobilize the morale of all the players.

Although under Dick's protection, the Dortmund players did not accept any interviews, but no matter what, they would always see the news and TV. Dick's statement is consistent with his private statement.

Yes, this will naturally allow the players to better concentrate on preparing for this most important game in the club's history.

If you win, it will be the most glorious season in the history of the Dortmund club. If you lose... then it can only be an ordinary brilliant season. After all, Dortmund has not won the league championship too few times...

"What we are going to deduce now is AC Milan's starting lineup... I don't think there will be many changes in other positions. The key is their defense. If Maldini plays as a central defender, it will definitely be him and Ness.

Tower will partner as a central defender, but we have to think carefully about the two full-backs...Who will be the left-back? Kaladze, Serginho? What about the right-back?"

"Kaladze's defense is better, while Serginho is a purely offensive full-back. The appearance of these two people will mean whether AC Milan attacks or defends." Marriner said with a frown.

"This...actually we don't need to consider it." Dick smiled. Marina was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

Since Dick has been practicing this tactic during this period, AC Milan will not see many changes in either offense or defense.

"I don't know who they will use on the right now... Helvig is not in very good shape right now. Simic is a versatile player and may also appear on the right, and Costacurta may also be placed on the right.

In this position... Ancelotti, the head coach, is very cautious. I think the most likely defense line is Costacurta, Maldini, Nesta and Kaladze, a purely defensive line."

Dick said with great certainty, and Marriner's eyes lit up: "If this is the case, it will be good for our tactics."

"That's true, but we can't relax in any way, at least our intentions can't be exposed so quickly... focus on defense and constantly rely on offense to create pressure on them and reduce mistakes in our defense.

, struggling with them in the midfield and not giving them space in the back line, this is the tone of our game!"

After Dick finished speaking, Nahas frowned and asked: "If this is the case, then there may be some problems with the counterattack of the three people in the frontcourt..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant - Dortmund's current frontcourt still lacks speed...

"So Everton will be my first choice in this starting lineup. His personal attack ability is quite good. Even if we don't expect him to score, he can at least kill some time." Dick smiled slightly.

stand up.

The assistant coaches nodded one after another. Although Okocha's absence will reduce Dortmund's midfield ball control ability, Everton's personal ability may be more effective in this situation!

"And that thing, remember to hurry up." Dick finally said to goalkeeper coach Copper.

The oldest Copper nodded: "I've finished it all."

"Now, let's wait for the finals to begin!" Dick looked around at the assistant coaches and said loudly.
