"The second half is about to begin! There were no substitutions between the two sides The score in the first half was one to one. Dortmund had the advantage offensively, but Arsenal once took the lead through a counterattack. What was the final result of this game? This still needs to be observed, but the good news for both sides is that PSV is already leading Auxerre 2-0 at home. If this score is maintained until the end, then even if the game is a draw, Arsenal and Dortmund will also qualify for the group in advance.¡±
"Based on what I know about Dick, he will not be satisfied with a draw to qualify. Maybe he doesn't care whether he is first or second in the group, but he definitely cares about beating Arsenal, because Arsenal is the only team to beat Dortmund this season. Team! He will definitely find a way to beat Arsenal, so that he can feel happy, and for Dortmund, defeating one or two strong teams in the European competition can also enhance their confidence. Dick values ??this aspect very much. matter."
It has to be said that this commentator is on to the point. Dick's character of retribution can actually affect the emotions of the players to a great extent - just as the characteristics of an army will be affected by the personality of the commander. It has a great influence on the team in general. Atletico Madrid has become a team that everyone is afraid of under Dick's leadership. This has a lot to do with Dick's characteristic of trying to bite the opponent no matter what.
When Westfalen¡¯s shouts rang out again, the second half of the game officially began!
Arsenal, who took the lead in attacking, encountered Dortmund's tenacious block in the midfield. Although Alves' defensive ability was not very good, he could run and his confrontation ability was not bad. With the help of Frings and others, Dortmund was able to The defense on this side also began to become quite tough. In desperation, Arsenal could only pass the ball to the other side to launch the attack.
After withstanding Arsenal's opening attack, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack - this was also related to the tactical arrangements of both sides. Arsenal wanted to fight defensively. When Dortmund launched their attack, they began to take the initiative in the half. Defense on the field.
The ball passed to Rosicky's feet, and the Czech began to observe the situation in the frontcourt. Rosicky was still very satisfied with his retreat. His overall view and relatively excellent defensive ability made him perform well in this position. It's quite good, and being in a relatively deep position allows him to get enough protection and won't fall into the opponent's key defense for the first time.
Not every attacking midfielder with good skills and overall perspective can be transformed into a deep-lying midfielder, but Dick has encountered two such players in a row. Belleron is a rare midfield core in Spain. As a player, his physical fitness is weak, so Dick allowed him to retreat, which made his performance take a leap. Now in the national team, he has squeezed out Guardiola's position, and even suppressed Xavi. Well, Rosicky later joined Arsenal and played quite well in the defensive midfielder position. With such a precedent, Dick made such a change quite logically - the actual effect was also quite good, Rosicky almost He quickly adapted to this change of position. It is precisely because of his performance in the backcourt that Dortmund's new frontcourt attack combination can exert most of its power in this situation.
And as time goes by, Dortmund's frontcourt offense will definitely become better and better. Even if it cannot have an extremely top performance in the European arena, it is not uncommon to at least compete with Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Under Rosicky's dispatch, Dortmund's offense began to become smoother. Alves almost became a winger. With him occupying the wing, Everton began to constantly cut inside to complete the offense. , and Frings frequently penetrated forward and launched long-range shots when he had the opportunity. The attack on the right was lively. Dortmund's left was more defensive, but with Rivaldo on this side, Assen Na's Lauren would never dare to attack forward without any worries. Even Vieira's attention was basically drawn by Rivaldo - even though he is thirty years old, Rivaldo's intimidation The power is actually there.
"Having a superstar has such advantagesat least even if he is only on the court, the opponent will not relax his defense." Dick smiled slightly. In fact, he didn't like to use this tactic very much. However, the team time in Dortmund is not long enough, so we can only use this method to temporarily support, and Rivaldo still has the strength. He is now the player with the most goals in Dortmund in all competitions, and he is also the player with the most goals in all competitions. Coming on a free transfer, giving him the highest salary is definitely a great value.
Cavinaji kept running back and forth on the court. He knew that he would definitely not be Campbell's opponent in confrontation. Even Xigan was not strong in strength.Will beat him - at this time he has a deep understanding of why Dick wants him to learn how to run. If he still plays the same way as before, under such pressure, he may even seize the ball in the penalty area. He couldn't even do it in any position, let alone grab a shot.
Only by being good at running can you survive better in European leagues with smaller space for movement and greater defensive pressure. This feeling may not have been big in the Bundesliga, but after arriving in the Champions League, this feeling became very obvious. Previously at Highbury, Cavinagy was completely defended by Arsenal's two central defenders. There is no chance at all. The intensity of the European competition is still greater than that of the American competition.
When he saw Alves cutting in from the right, Cavinaji made an emergency stop and turned around, then ran towards the left side of the penalty area. Campbell ran after him, leaving only Xigan in the middle. , however, Gilberto Silva quickly returned to the penalty area, preventing this gap from becoming a gap.
Alves made a move to force a breakthrough to the baseline, but quickly turned around and passed the ball back. As soon as Everton gave way, Frings, who came in from the back row, immediately took a long shot without stopping the ball!
The ball quickly rushed into Arsenal's penalty area, and was blocked by Gilberto Silva with his body. Cavinaji was about to make a supplementary shot at the first time, but Campbell, who was filling in, rushed to clear the ball.
"In the penalty area, even if you run, there don't seem to be many opportunities."
Cavinaji thought to himself, then he looked up at the field, and then he saw Dick making a gesture to him.
Kavinaj saw this gesture clearly - run more, pull out of the penalty area and run more!
Cavinaji nodded slightly. His involvement just now did not create too many gaps in Arsenal's penalty area. It is obvious that Arsenal attaches great importance to the defense in the penalty area. In this case, It¡¯s also a good idea to stretch out of the penalty area to create opportunities.
Dortmund does not lack sluggers. Frings and Rivaldo are both players with excellent long-range shooting abilities. Dede and Rosicky also have quite good long-range shooting abilities. Arsenal's goalkeeper Seaman often shoots from far away. He suffers from shooting and lob shots. It is obvious that he was humiliated by Rooney and Ronaldinho with lob shots. As long as he can strengthen his long-range shots, he might have a chance.
In the following time, Dortmund's offense changed to a certain extent. They no longer wanted to hit the penalty area, but immediately tested Seaman's nerves with long shots outside the penalty area. Although Seaman made consecutive Two good saves, but Arsenal's defenders knew that their young goalkeeper might make a mistake at some point and screw everyone up
So soon, Arsenal began to expand the scope of their defense, completing more blocks at the front of the penalty area, interfering with the long-range shots of Dortmund players, preventing their offense from developing smoothly.
Dick looked at the defense of the Arsenal players calmly, but gradually felt very confident in his heart.
Arsenal's defense seems to be working step by step, but in fact they have fallen into passivity. From the beginning, when they decided to use defense to play the second half, they already seemed very passive. What they are good at is offense, not defense. When their counterattack fails to achieve any effect under Dortmund's targeted suppression, they will definitely appear very passive defensively!
They recycle their defense, then Dortmund will continue to threaten their door through long shots, and when they expand their defensive area, Dortmund will complete the final attack through players' breakthroughs!
Sixty-eight minutes.
Rosicky passed the ball to Cavinagi who was pulling out of the penalty area. When Cavinagi took the ball, Rivaldo began to move towards the center, and Everton also began to roam on the right to attract Arsenal's defensive attention. , only Gilberto Silva was left in front of Cavinagi who took the ball on the left side of the penalty area. He first made a fake move to pass the ball to Dede on the left side, and then attracted Gil After receiving the attention of Roberto Silva, he quickly dunked the ball back, and then drove the ball past Gilberto Silva!
Although Cavinagi rarely breaks through with the ball, it does not mean that he cannot break through with the ball. In fact, as an Argentine forward, his skills at his feet are also quite good!
After breaking through Gilberto Silva, Cavinagi dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Xigan hurriedly came from the side to block it, but Cavinagi accelerated and broke through again. In this hurry, , Xigan was like a clumsy big bear, and Kavinaj easily broke through
Seaman struck out in time, but Cavinaji stabbed the ball past Seaman before Seaman struck out.Then when he was about to rush forward to catch up with the ball, he hit Seaman and fell to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded, penalty kick!
The Arsenal players began to gather around the referee to appeal, but to no avail. The referee dispersed them mercilessly and insisted on the penalty kick.
Rosicky took the penalty kick and won it instantly. Dortmund, after conceding a goal at home first, relied on a free kick and a penalty kick to overtake Arsenal!
And this score is also the final score of this game! Dortmund defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home, thus gaining the right to qualify one round ahead of schedule in this group!
Although Arsenal lost the game, they also gained the right to qualify - because in another game, Auxerre suffered a 0-3 away defeat at the feet of PSV Eindhoven. They now have four points. Eindhoven has five points and Arsenal has nine points. They qualified early with Dortmund who had 10 points!
This result also makes Dortmund fans very satisfied. Being able to qualify early seems to mean that they will achieve good enough results in this season's Champions League.
