Dick's curses made almost all Dortmund players unable to hold their heads up. He rarely curses now, but his skills are still there. Once he starts cursing, it will be like a storm, making people breathless...
It's just that they lost this game so ugly that they could only listen to Dick's scolding.
And Dick's practice of taking all the responsibility on himself at the press conference made all their little resentment dissipate: "Losing such a game...there was something wrong with my tactical adjustment, but luckily
, we still have a huge advantage, don’t we? The advantage of four rounds and four points, as long as we don’t have any problems with our own brains, there will be no problems.”
Dick exposed this scene lightly, which of course was related to the fact that this defeat did not cause them too much loss. If Bremen wins this round, then they will reduce their disadvantage to
Two points, Dortmund's situation will be much more serious at that time, and of course Dick cannot explain it away with just a few words.
In the next week, Dick's training for the players was obviously much stricter. The Dortmund players, who knew they were in the wrong, could only train honestly, adjust their condition, and take the game seriously...
Dortmund's players did underestimate their opponents before. Mainly because after consecutive defeats against two strong teams, Hamburg and Bayern, they began to feel that nothing could stop them. This defeat can be said to be a bucket of cold water in the head, making them begin to realize that they
In fact, there is no absolute advantage in the Bundesliga. To have such an advantage now, in addition to Dick's excellent command, they also have to work hard on their own and put themselves in a relatively low position to fight.
The victories one after another are definitely not what they thought. As long as they play casually, they will win the championship...
Seeing that the players began to become more serious, Dick breathed a sigh of relief. To a certain extent, Dick had to be grateful for this defeat. If this game was not a loss but just a draw, then what would happen next
The arrogant mood of the players still cannot be changed. When they are defeated at the critical moment and their lead is reduced, it will be easier to panic.
Although they lost the game now and were scolded by Dick, after all, their advantage was only reduced by one point, so they would not panic easily.
It has to be said that young players are sometimes easy to train, and they can easily listen to criticism. If it were a veteran player, things might not be as good...
May 1st, the 31st round of the league.
Dortmund's performance against Rostock at home has been okay this season. They are currently ranked ninth. There is no pressure to be relegated and there is no chance to enter the European competition. However, they are also happy to perform better when facing Dortmund to show their courage and
Strength If Dortmund still participates in this game with a casual attitude, then it is very likely that Rostock, who is well prepared, will give him a head-on blow...
But at this time, Dortmund's players did not dare to appear careless in the game. They also began to put down their bodies and fight in the game, looking for every opportunity to score goals. This style of play seems tiring, but for the Dortmund players
Generally speaking, they are young enough, and the current situation of one game a week is enough for them to recover their physical fitness.
As the attitude improves, the performance will naturally be better, and Dortmund also had good luck in this game.
In the eleventh minute, Dede opened the scoring for Dortmund with a volley from the front of the penalty area after a back row insertion. Although Rostock continued to resist, in the 35th and 38th minutes, Everton and
Gomez scored two goals in a row to seal the victory of this game in the first half!
In the second half, Odonko, who came on as a substitute, scored Dortmund's fourth goal in the 76th minute. Dortmund swept Rostock 4-0 and the situation was clear!
"Dortmund's form is back! What kind of magic did Dick use..." Many media began to exclaim. Dick didn't even bother to say anything about this sudden move. He held a press conference after the game.
At the meeting, he only said briefly: "There are still two wins left before we win the championship."
Werder Bremen actually won this round. They used a crazy 6-0 to beat the burgers into pieces. However, this made them regret even more. If they had played better in the last round, they would not be four points behind.
The situation is divided...
On May 8th, in the 32nd round of the league, Dortmund went to an away game to challenge Hertha Berlin, while Bremen also went to an away game to challenge Bayern. For both sides, this round is likely to see some improvement. If Bremen
If they fail to win against Bayern, they are likely to lose hope of winning the league championship two rounds in advance...
Under such circumstances, Werder Bremen showed great strength and fighting spirit. They defeated Bayern 3-3 in the away game, but...
Hertha Berlin, which is close to the relegation zone, worked very hard in this game. They also used crazy attacks to make the Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion constantly suffer from conceding goals. However, Dortmund's offense
But even more crazy than Hertha Berlin!
Hertha Berlin's crazy attack at the beginning had a miraculous effect in the seventh minute. Marcelinho's shot in the penalty area forced Kyle to score an own goal, and Hertha Berlin led 1-0.
Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack, and Arshavin won a free kick. He drove the ball into the penalty area himself. Kyle, who had just scored an own goal, jumped high at the back point, shook his head and headed the ball into Hertha Berlin's goal.
Gate, equalizing the score for Dortmund.
In the 20th minute, Marcelinho's beautiful ball passed away from Warnes, and then he scored with a shot in the penalty area, giving Hertha Berlin the lead for the second time.
In the 37th minute, veteran Bobic used a wonderful non-stop shot in the penalty area to remind people of his peak period. Hertha Berlin unexpectedly took a 3-1 lead in the away game!
This kind of score reminds people of when Dortmund lost to Leverkusen. Leverkusen also performed very well in that game. They played no matter how hard they played, and then gave Dortmund a painful defeat. This game will happen again.
Is this happening?
If Dortmund loses, Bremen will reduce the disadvantage from four points to one point. If there are two rounds left in the league, such a points gap is nothing!
However, starting from the second half, Dortmund proved that their current performance will not be like that game!
After the start of the second half, Dortmund's offense was not affected too much. They were still looking for opportunities, constantly creating opportunities through fast attacks, trying to tear apart Hertha Berlin's defense as much as possible, and then completing the goal through shooting.
Olic, who has been quiet recently, cleverly found an opportunity in the 54th minute. Gomez kicked a shot in the penalty area. The ball hit the opponent's defender and bounced back into the penalty area. Olic controlled the ball first, and a
With a diagonal dunk, he dodged the defender who rushed to cover, then he raised his foot and hit the ball. The ball flew quickly to the ground and into the goal. Dortmund got a point back!
When the first goal comes, can the next one be far behind?
In the 57th minute, Arshavin and Alves played a two-on-one on the right and broke through to the bottom line to cross. Olic and Gomez's jumps attracted the attention of Hertha Berlin's defenders.
, Borowski, who was inserted in the back row, quickly shook his head and hit the goal, and the ball hit the net again!
Dortmund equalizes!
The equalizer caused chaos for Hertha Berlin, and Dick accurately grasped this. He replaced Klinger in the midfield with Donovan and continued to strengthen the attack. Donovan did not let Dortmund
The fans were disappointed. Ten minutes after coming on as a substitute, he received a cross from Arshavin at the edge of the penalty area and quickly shot the ball. The ball hit the dead center and flew into the goal!
Four to three! Dortmund takes the lead!
This process made Dortmund fans almost go crazy with joy. Such a crazy, big-scoring goal performance is hard to see, especially at such a critical moment to win the championship. There is no doubt that if Dortmund finally
To win the championship, this game will become the most talked about topic among Dortmund fans for a long time!
It's already 4 to 3, and Dortmund's players have not stopped attacking. A one-goal lead may not allow them to win this game...
So, in the 76th minute, Gomez, who had been looking for a scoring opportunity, finally found one in the penalty area. Kyle's long shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Gomez resisted the opponent's defender in the penalty area.
A kick from the foot and scored the fifth goal for Dortmund!
The regrouped Hertha Berlin pulled one point back from Nuendorf in the 86th minute. However, in the 90th minute, Arshavin's goal allowed Dortmund to completely win the game, 6 to 4, which was surprising.
The big score is also the Bundesliga single-game scoring record this season!
After winning this game, Dortmund is almost certain to win the league championship. They are four points ahead in two rounds of the league. Just win one more game...
When the news reached Bremen, Bremen seemed to have breathed their last breath. In the 33rd round a week later, they were defeated 2-6 at home by Lever.
At the feet of Cousin, Dortmund cleanly defeated Monchengladbach 3-1 at home. Arshavin, Kyle and Olic each scored a goal, leading Werder Bremen to seven points.
Won the Bundesliga championship this season one round ahead of schedule!
Dortmund won three consecutive Bundesliga titles for the first time. They are also the third team to win three consecutive Bundesliga titles in more than 40 years since the establishment of the Bundesliga.
Debach won three consecutive championships in the early days, and Dortmund was the third team!
There is no doubt that Dortmund has now reached a peak, with three consecutive league championships and a Champions League championship. Such results are enough to be called a dynasty!
The final round away to Kaiserslautern on May 22 was more like a formality for Dortmund.
Dick rotated all the main players, including goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and sent on the field Madoni, the Metzelder brothers partnered with the central defenders, Piszczek, Ricken, Funk, Owomoyela and Odon.
Coe appears in the midfield, and the strike partners are Donovan and Everton. This is not so much a lineup as a reward for the substitutes...
In the end, Dortmund drew 1-1 with Kaiserslautern away from home. Odonko scored the only goal. This season, Dortmund ended up with 26 wins, four draws, and four losses in the 34 league games this season, with a total of 82 points.
Winning the first place in the Bundesliga with 3 points, completing the great cause of three consecutive championships!
