When Dick appeared at the Calderon Stadium, he was greeted by a storm of applause from Atletico Madrid fans.
Although there is a continuous drizzle in the sky, such rain cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of Atletico Madrid fans!
The overwhelming applause from the 54,000 Atletico Madrid fans made this stadium, which had just been rated a five-star stadium by UEFA, seem to start to tremble slightly. All the Atletico Madrid fans were cheering Dick's name. There were banners everywhere in the stands, all greeting Dick - the greeting here is not an antonym, but a genuine greeting with goodwill.
"Little Hill's face in the box was terrifyingly gloomy. Cerezo and Abasolo, who were sitting on the side, looked at each other with uncontrollable ridicule and sarcasm in their eyes.
What a pity. Dick would have been the most powerful ally of the Hill family, but this little idiot actually drove him away. The current chairman is Abasolo, and Cerezo has become a front with him. Little Hill Although he is the largest shareholder, can he do a lot of things? He has to pay a large part of the transfer fee and a large part of the expenses. Not a single Atletico Madrid fan likes him yet
It just depends on when Xiao Hill starts to lose control of the situation. That's when he kicks Xiao Hill away and truly takes control of Atletico Madrid!
Dick¡¯s eyes were a little moist.
Although he usually seems a bit careless, the nearly three years he spent at Atletico Madrid did leave a mark in his coaching career. The fact that Atletico Madrid fans miss him so much also makes him feel Strongly moved.
He opened his hands and waved to the stands one by one. Every time his hand passed a stand, the fans cheered from the stands. It wasn't until he had waved through each stand that Dick straightened his clothes. , sat down on the visiting team¡¯s coaching bench.
As if there was a tacit understanding, when Dick sat down, the Atletico Madrid fans sat down neatly and quickly put away the banners greeting Dick. At that moment, the Calderon Stadium once again became that Hell for the visiting team!
"It is very touching that Atletico Madrid fans miss Dick, but it is not difficult to understand this. After all, he is the most successful head coach in Atletico Madrid's history. His departure was not because he wanted to leave, but because of his reasons. For other reasons Well, let's talk about the starting lineups of both sides in this game. From a certain point of view, the starting lineups of both sides started to become very strange. In the first round, Atletico Madrid was 4,42. , Dortmund was 4-5-1, but in this game Atletico Madrid returned to the 4-5-1 tactics they were used to when Dick was here, but Dortmund began to play 4-4-2 Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper is Molina, and the defender Capdevila, Aguilera, Coloccini and Stam, Marchena appeared in the defensive midfielder position, partnering with Makelele and Belleron as three defensive midfielders and two attacking midfielders It was Vicente and Jorgensen, with Torres as the forward forward. Moreno's performance in the first round was not very good. He was not even included in the squad for this game. The two forwards on the bench were Cruz and Injury. Jardel, who has just returned from recovery! And Dortmund sent out a 442 formation, with Lehmann as the goalkeeper, Dede and Alves on the wings of the defense, Ismael and Vaughns as the center backs, and Metzelder because The accumulation of yellow cards suspended the game. In the midfield, Kyle and Rosicky served as double midfielders, Frings was the right midfielder, and Rivaldo was the left midfielder. Of course, this midfielder was on paper, but in fact during the game , Frings is more like an offensive and defensive midfielder, while Rivaldo is an attacking midfielder. The striker partners are Olic and Kawinaji. It seems that Nigeria midfielder Okocha is on the bench! In the away game, Dick also plans to use offense to solve the opponent. After all, if the draw results, it will be very detrimental to them. They must strengthen their offense in the away game"
"Atletico are one of two La Liga teams to reach the knockout stages this season, with Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid both eliminated in the second group stage, while Valencia were also eliminated by Inter Milan yesterday. Out of the quarter-finals, if Atletico Madrid cannot enter the semi-finals, then at least two teams have reached the semi-finals in the past three seasons. Once, three teams entered the semi-finals, and twice won the Champions League. No team in La Liga will enter the semi-finals of the Champions League! Does this mean that La Liga¡¯s dominance of the Champions League has begun to stop?¡±
"In fact, La Liga's dominance has not declined this season. Valencia's loss to Inter Milan was quite unfair. They almost suppressed Inter Milan in both rounds, and ultimately lost because of fewer away goals. Deportivo Runia was narrowly eliminated in the last round. From this perspective, Dick's departure has caused considerable losses to La Liga. He has already eliminated Real Madrid. If he can also eliminate Atletico Madrid maybe The whole La Liga will regret him leaving La Liga!¡±
In the comments of the commentators, the first half of the game has begun, in the rain, playing at homeAtletico Madrid quickly launched an attack!
Although there is one less forward and one more defensive midfielder, it does not mean that Atletico Madrid will treat this game defensively. Returning to the four-and-five formation is not unfamiliar to Atletico Madrid players at all, and as Contra and Moreno both missed the chance to start. Except for the young Coloccini, all of Atletico Madrid's starting eleven have played under Dick, and they are all very familiar with the four-five-one tactics. Familiarity, playing such tactics is no problem for Atletico Madrid.
Although it was raining, the condition of Calderon's lawn was very good and it would not have much impact. With enough protection around him, Belleron once again showed his top ability to control the midfield. From the beginning of the game, he created opportunities for Atletico Madrid players through his passing.
Under the attack of Frings and Rosicky, Belleron still passed a wonderful transfer ball with the instep of his outside foot. Jorgensen stepped in from the right and received Belleron's pass. Then under Dede's defense, he still dribbled the ball to an angle, and then quickly passed with his right foot. The ball drew an arc and flew straight to the penalty area. Although Torres was shorter than Warnes and Ismail, , however, his agility and flexibility gave him the upper hand. When Ismail was about to head the ball to clear the ball, he was the first to swing his head six meters in front of the goal!
Amid the exclamations of the audience, this header passed Lehmann's hand, but missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. Ismael's interference at the critical moment made Torres's header lacking. Torres He got up from the ground, shook his head slightly, then turned around and ran out of Dortmund's penalty area.
The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands clapped their hands, while Dick nodded slightly from the audience - Torres did not appear to be very remorseful, proving that this guy's mentality has begun to mature - he was showing off with surprising Rapid growth!
Dick consciously suppressed him for two years before. After two years of dormancy, Torres became the main force this season, and then quickly showed his top level!
Thinking of this, Dick suddenly came to his senses - Damn, this kid is not my player now, why should I praise him? It seems that the atmosphere of the Calderon Stadium affected him
So he immediately stood up and made a gesture to the court.
Don¡¯t be affected by the opponent¡¯s attack, use your attack to suppress them, and then kill them!
Yes, in the away game, the overall tactics set by Dick are still focused on offense. At home and the opponent is one to one, then we must not be conservative in the away game. Don't think that just one goal is enough for us. Yes, there are plenty of opportunities - you must know that Atletico Madrid's technical level and midfield control ability are better than Dortmund. If you do this, Aragones probably won't mind using such lukewarm tactics to achieve a zero-to-zero!
Only by playing high and high, with back-and-forth impact and attack, and dragging the game to the point of scoring goals, will Dortmund's chances of winning become even greater. After all, they do not lack good scorers! If they score one goal, they will have no inherent advantage. If they score two goals, they will have an even greater advantage!
Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack. Rosicky passed the ball to Frings. Frings quickly distributed it to Rivaldo. Rivaldo completed a pass when he touched the ball and the ball passed through the air. Atletico Madrid's defense line, Olic inserted at high speed, forming a single shot!
However, at this time, Olic seemed to miss this opportunity because he was a little nervous. When he stopped the ball, he stopped a little wider. When he tried to chase again, Stam was already stuck in front of him. , Molina struck out in time and got the ball.
Olic shook his head, and then ran back. Dick also shook his head. Olic should be more calm, but this season he is training Kavinaj more. Olic has played more times Not many. When he suddenly gets such an opportunity, it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable. I just hope that his discomfort will not last too long and he can return to his own state quickly, otherwise this game will be a bit troublesome
After the failure of this attack, the two sides began to have some struggles in the midfield. Unlike Bayern, Dortmund now had some advantages in confrontation and running, but lacked some technical content-the total destruction It is easier than building. After some pressing, they intercepted the ball and quickly launched an attack. After Rivaldo got the ball, he was brought down by Marchena. Dortmund got a goal 30 meters away. Rivaldo did not choose to shoot the free kick himself, but passed the ball diagonally forward. Frings followed up with a long shot!
Faced with this powerful long-range shot, Molina did not dare to neglect. He saw the direction of the ball and hit it with one punch. The ball's landing point was controlled by Makelele.After controlling the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Belleron.
Dortmund's players began to defend like a tide. Atletico Madrid saw that there was no chance for a fast break, so they began to attack slowly. After Torres pulled out of the penalty area, he received a pass from Belleron and then distributed the ball, inserting from the left. Vicente took a long shot directly, and the ball missed the far post.
"Both sides played very fast at the beginning of the game. I don't know if this was Dick's request If we play fast like this, both sides will make more mistakes. If one side scores a goal, the game may become It looks better"
"This momentum is more beneficial to Dortmund. They don't care about losing another one. As long as they score one, they can make up for the disadvantage What does Aragones think? Atletico Madrid does not seem to want to control the situation on the field, but to fight with Dortmund's pace was to play against each other, which was not wise."
Dick looked at Aragones on the home team's coaching bench with some surprise - this old guy is quite confident But I like this attitude!
