Metzelder's injury caused a brief panic in Dortmund's defense. However, Ismail's appearance stabilized this. Although he is not as popular as Metzelder, he is actually better than Metzelder.
Germany is more mature and stable, and Dick has to admit that he may have been a little rash in choosing to send Metzelder in this game. Obviously, against a fast striker like Elton, Ismail is better than Metzelder.
Germany is more appropriate.
After coming on the field, Ismail intercepted Miku's direct pass to Elton in the middle. Then he immediately started to make a long pass and passed the ball to the frontcourt. Gomez headed the ball to the frontcourt while running.
Everton, Everton did not dribble, but directly passed the ball diagonally to Donovan. Donovan forced a breakthrough with the ball and shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball slightly missed the goal post.
"Well played, just play like this." Dick clapped his hands off the court. Although the attack just now was not perfect, it was very fast. What Dortmund wants now is such a fast attack, not only in counterattack
Moderately fast, but also fast in positional warfare attacks!
Although this kind of offense is prone to some mistakes, if it runs like this all the way, Dortmund's advantage will become more obvious towards the end of the season. Dortmund has no other advantages now. Speed, physical fitness and running ability are what Dick wants to do here.
Something that comes out of the season.
Dick can tolerate the mistakes at the beginning. At the same time, as time goes by, the flaws exposed in the offensive and defensive transitions will become less and less. At that time, Dortmund's fast attack will show its power.
!
In such a back-and-forth attack, Bremen had an opportunity to equalize the score before the end of the first half. Davala passed the ball from the wing, and Weidenfeller struck out and hit the ball over the head of Charles Steas.
, but the ball fell to the feet of Listes at the edge of the penalty area. The Hungarian international did not wait for the ball to land, and directly raised his foot to lob into the far corner. Weidenfeller was unable to defend in time, and the ball flew over his head and then fell into the goal.
!
The equalizer in the first half undoubtedly made everyone in Bremen very happy, but Dortmund was very unhappy. One of their players was injured, and now they have evened the score... For those arrogant Dortmund players
For young players, they can't stand it.
"I wouldn't choose to substitute because we played well in the first half."
In his first words after entering the locker room, Dick gave the players reassurance: "This conceded goal is nothing, as long as we can reduce some mistakes in offensive and defensive transitions in the second half... If Werder Bremen is
If we recycle our defense and play defensive counterattack, maybe we will be beaten by their counterattack, but will they do this? No! Werder Bremen can't defend, and they are not good at it, so they will only play against us.
Attack! In this way, we will definitely get a lot of opportunities. We can seize the weakness of their defense line's slow turn and blow up their defense line!"
After Dick's encouragement, Dortmund began to use more ferocious attacks to deal with Bremen.
Dick really does not plan to make substitutions. Olic and Arshavin have played two full games in the previous national team games. There will definitely be problems with their physical fitness. For the next Champions League, it is necessary for them to take a good rest.
What's more, Dortmund has six forwards. If only three of them are used, then why would Dick keep Everton and introduce Donovan? It's because these two forwards may be lacking in the main force, but they are used for rotation.
, but it is very suitable.
Donovan's performance is very eye-catching. When Arshavin is not on the court, he is the one with the best breakthrough ability in Dortmund. So he keeps getting the ball and uses his speed to attack Bremen's defense.
This made Bremen's defenders quite frustrated to defend. It was precisely because of this advantage that Dortmund gradually gained the advantage amidst the constant attacks. The shouts of the Dortmund fans in the stands began to get louder and louder.
louder, and amid such shouts, the Dortmund players' attacks began to become more and more fierce.
Klinger's sudden advance caused a chaos in the Bremen defense. After seeing Donovan crossing from the wing towards the center, Klinger immediately passed the ball to Donovan. Donovan
After taking the ball, Wan dribbled the ball laterally and dodged Ernst, who came to defend him. Seeing that Bremen's defenders did not come to defend him at the first time, he immediately swung his left foot and made a decisive move at the top of the penalty area.
Take a shot!
Bowman rushed forward and tried to block Donovan's shot with his body, but Donovan's shot had a very high arc and flew directly over his head.
Bremen's goalkeeper jumped up and planned to stop the ball midway. However, the arc of the ball flying in the air was quite high. It didn't start to drop suddenly until it flew into the penalty area!
Lineker reluctantly stretched out his hand, but still couldn't touch the ball. The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar hard and then fell into the Bremen gate!
"Beautiful long shot! Donovan's shot contributed to Bremen's goal! Two to one, Dortmund took the lead again! Beautiful goal! Now Dortmund is in the lead again, if they can beat Bremen,
Then they can tie Bremen's points... Dortmund played very proactively at home. They had the upper hand in the back and forth sprint. If Bremen doesn't change anything, it may be difficult to win...
…”
Bremen tried to change the current situation, because they also found that it was difficult for them to take advantage in such a back-and-forth sprint attack. Ismail frequently used forward defense to intercept other people's passes to Elton.
No matter how fast the ball lightning ran, it was of no use, and Charisteas was beaten to death by the equally strong Vaughns, who controlled him very well to grab the first landing point, and Miku was also beaten by Kai.
With me following them, what they are good at is gradually advancing after getting the ball, using Miku's organizational skills and ability to pass through balls, instead of running and bombing back and forth quickly...
But Dortmund did not give them this opportunity. They were still running, constantly increasing the speed and rhythm of the field through back and forth impact. They were young and they could run...
In addition to the players in the frontcourt, the two Brazilian full-backs also began to show their ability to sprint back and forth. Dede and Alves almost became wingers, sprinting back and forth on the wings. On the contrary, the three midfielders rarely went forward.
When attacking, even if it is forward, only one person is forward, and the other two are in the backcourt to protect and provide support.
Even in the 65th minute, after Dick replaced Gomez with Odonko, Dortmund's offensive rhythm not only did not decline, but also increased. Their frontcourt sprint began to become more fierce, and basically it was
Whenever they find an opportunity, they shoot. The continuous attacks make Bremen's defenders feel a little exhausted and they can only passively resist.
In the 75th minute, Odonko forced a breakthrough from the wing and then made a cross, which was blocked by Friedrich. Dortmund got a corner kick. Klinger came up to take the penalty. The ball flew to the center of the penalty area. The Bremen goalkeeper
Lineker hit the ball, but the ball hit the head of Ismail, who came forward to assist, and then rebounded and flew into the Bremen gate...
"Ismail picked a goal! This is really a lucky guy. Dortmund is also very lucky! They are now leading three to one! There are only ten minutes left before the end of the game. Bremen
It will be difficult to recover from such a gap... Dortmund will return to the top three!"
It makes sense for the commentator to say this. Dortmund was originally ranked fifth. The top three points were all ten points, and the fourth place was nine points. Now that they have won Bremen, Dortmund is very likely to return to the top three. This
It is a dividing line for participating in the Champions League next season.
Dick waved his fist. Such an advantage basically meant that the overall situation was decided, so he used up the third substitution spot. The young Demel came on and replaced Donovan to strengthen defense. Now he just regrets that Sha Sha
Xin is not yet seventeen years old. According to the rules of the Bundesliga, players under the age of seventeen are not allowed to play. Unlike the Premier League, there are no regulations in this regard, so Dick can only let Shaheen play in the German Cup.
Play in the middle and get some game experience.
In fact, in Dick's mind, Shaheen is the best candidate to replace Rosicky. However, he is still too young now, so he can only use Klinger. But fortunately, Klinger is also a good player, at least
In the future, he may be able to control Dortmund's midfield with Shaheen. As for the next batch of outstanding Dortmund players, they are not what he can cultivate now. Dortmund has the conditions and traditions to develop youth training, and they can fully develop them.
In the following time, patiently cultivate a group of good players. Without money to buy them, it is one of the conditions for rebirth!
After falling behind by two goals, Bremen was a little tired of trying to counterattack. Although Miku and others worked hard to attack, Dortmund, who began to shrink their defense, did not give them too many opportunities. They used excellent
The defense intercepted Bremen's offense. Bremen could only continue to organize on the periphery, but it was difficult to create good opportunities.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Dortmund, with the support of 80,000 enthusiastic fans, defeated Werder Bremen 3-1 at home!
As Bayern unexpectedly lost to Wolfsburg 2-3 in an away game, Dortmund returned to the third position as they wished. They have two more goal differences than Bayern and one more goal difference than Werder Bremen.
, ranked third with ten points, the first was Leverkusen with 12 points, and the second was the youth team Stuttgart with 11 points.
"We are back in the top three, but the ranking at the beginning of the season is meaningless. I am more happy that we won this game. Werder Bremen are a difficult opponent to beat at home.
I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. Next we will usher in the Champions League game, which is a bigger test for us... As the defending champion, we will be under great pressure, but I am very grateful to the players.
We are confident in our performance and we will be able to achieve correspondingly good results even under difficult circumstances.”
Having said this, Dick showed a smile: "I have been looking forward to this group stage for a long time! Although this is a very difficult group, my players and I have made all preparations to welcome it.
I think Dortmund fans are also looking forward to this Champions League group stage..."
