In fact, this was a very simple quick counterattack. However, the biggest reason why Atletico Madrid failed to defend was that Klinger's interception of the ball and the highly penetrating diagonal pass really caught Atletico Madrid off guard and defeated it. When Ringer intercepted the ball, they responded quickly. Belleron and Torres immediately formed a double-team in the frontcourt. However, Ringer found the path for the ball at that moment, and then passed the ball. At the feet of Rivaldo, Ruyter's follow-up was also extremely timely. His reception and passing made Cavinagi's final shot quite easy!
Two substitutions, one old and one young, became the key players in this decisive victory - everyone was marveling at Dick's luck - to be honest, whether this adjustment was wise or stupid, it was impossible to predict before the end of the game. , no matter how correct the substitution is, it may be considered a failure because it causes bad results, and no matter how inexplicable the substitution is, if it achieves good results, it will be considered a coup and a stroke of genius
Dick breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the tone of this game has been set - even if Atletico Madrid pulls back a point in the next few minutes, Dortmund will advance because they have two away games. goal
This goal means that Dortmund will enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, it means that Atletico Madrid will stop in the quarter-finals, and it means After losing Dick, La Liga missed the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in four years.
Regarding this point, Dick certainly knows that he is not good enough to influence this general trend. La Liga missed the semi-finals this season. Of course, he led the team to directly eliminate two Madrid teams, but before La Liga has been so prosperous in the past three years, and now it has reached a stage of prosperity and decline. This is also a reason.
He quickly used up the last substitution. Madoni replaced Dede and continued to strengthen the defense. Although there were only ten people left on the field, Dortmund's confidence had reached its peak at this time. They only needed to defend In the remaining few minutes, we can hold our heads high and enter the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Even if Warnes and Frings, the two defensive heroes, will be suspended in the next game, they don't care. From the beginning, they never thought that they could really win the Champions League and take one step forward. , just have a few more days of happiness!
As time passed, Aragones substituted Jardel and Luis Garcia one after another in order to try his best to recover the disadvantage. However, he also knew that this was just a matter of personnel. In the next game, almost all players defended. Dortmund maintained their lead until the last moment. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Atletico fans knew that this season, they would lose everything!
There are many points behind Real Madrid in the league. They have given up the Copa del Rey before, and now they have been eliminated from the semi-finals of the Champions League. This makes Atletico Madrid fans who have been accustomed to championships and victories in the previous two seasons feel very confused. Finally, I began to feel very clearly that without Dick, Atletico Madrid might still be a strong team, but it would be very difficult to win the championship
At this time, they saw Dick stand up. Instead of celebrating, they quickly walked to the players' tunnel and then disappeared into the players' tunnel.
He didn't want to celebrate his victory here, even if it was hard-won. Atletico Madrid fans looked at the tunnel. Many people's performances were complicated, and more people breathed a sigh of relief. ¡ª¡ªDick's departure solved a big problem for them, that is, when Dick celebrated, should they remain silent or boo him
The Dortmund players did not notice this. They started celebrating spontaneously, but soon they discovered that Dick did not celebrate with them. Next, assistant coach Marriner told them that Dick was in the locker room. Wait for them.
The Dortmund players returned to the locker room, and then they saw Dick sitting in the corner in a daze - it was rare to see Dick look so lonely and almost depressed. The Dortmund players looked at each other, and they all looked at each other. He didn't say anything, but started doing his own thing.
It wasn¡¯t until the players finished taking a shower and changed into new clothes that Dick seemed to wake up and called Ruit¡¯s name and asked him to attend the press conference with him.
"This game is very difficult I had expected it to be very difficult before the game, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Atletico Madrid is stronger than us, but football matches are not guaranteed to be won by the stronger ones." Victory, our ability to become a promoted team is the result of our hard work, hard work and struggle. Dortmund is not a strong team in this Champions League, and many teams that are better than us have been eliminated in previous games. , but we have reached this point, and I have to say that this kind of hard work and perseverance is the biggest factor in our ability to reach this point."
At this point, Dick looked at Ruyter: "For example, Stefan, he has all the best qualities of German football. When he was a substitute, he also maintained his condition in training. Let him come on and play immediately. Being able to show our best form. Having players like this is the source of our ability to continue to create miracles this season. Now that we have reached this point, we will not give up in the league or the Champions League. , there are still three games in the Champions League, and I hope we can get enough wins in the last eight games of this season to make this season a successful one!¡±
"We lost, there's nothing to say about it. Dortmund's performance was very tenacious. Our ability to seize opportunities was not as strong as the opponent's. We made some mistakes in the game that we shouldn't have made Now that the season has passed, next we We have to look forward." Aragones said helplessly.
Just after the head coaches of both sides said this, a reporter asked a question.
"Mr. Dick, at this time, do you have anything to say to Mr. Miguel Hill?"
All reporters are very interested in this issue. They feel that with Dick's character, after defeating Atletico Madrid, even if he will not celebrate, even if he will praise Atletico Madrid, he still maintains goodwill and good impression towards Atletico Madrid. , but he will definitely not have any good impression of Xiao Hill. How he will answer this question makes all the reporters very, very interested
Dick did not disappoint them. He glanced at the reporter who asked the question expressionlessly, and then asked: "Who is that?"
Low laughter came from the audience. Of course, Dick couldn't have known who Xiao Hill was. However, his answer was completely ignored. He had praised Atletico Madrid's performance after coming to Madrid and recalled his time at Atletico Madrid. In recent days, he has expressed admiration for Aragones, and even said a few words to the current president Abasolo, but he completely ignored the news - is there anything more contemptuous than this?
Dick completely separated Little Hill from the entire Atletico Madrid. His intention was very obvious. Atletico Madrid is Atletico Madrid, and Little Hill is Little Hill.
The press conference ended like this. Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid and entered the semi-finals of this season's Champions League. In another game that ended at the same time, AC Milan narrowly defeated Ajax and entered the semi-finals. In addition, Juventus advanced yesterday. Serie A and Inter Milan occupy three of this season's Champions League top four Serie A teams, while Dortmund is about to face three Serie A teams.
??Then let¡¯s see which team will meet Dortmund in the semi-finals.
This kind of suspense did not last long. Soon, the results of the semi-final draw came out, which made people love the first Milan derby in the Champions League. Dortmund faced Juventus, currently ranked first in Serie A. Sri Lanka.
The battle between the No. 1 in the Bundesliga and the No. 1 in Serie A, the Milan Derby, this kind of game makes the top four of this season¡¯s Champions League full of gold!
The two rounds of matches will be played on May 7th and May 15th. Before that, Dortmund still has two rounds of league games to play, and then there is a round of Bundesliga between these two Champions League semi-finals. If they make it to the final, there are still two league rounds to play before the final - that's all Dortmund's remaining games for the season.
After returning to Germany from Madrid, Dortmund fans welcomed them with the greatest enthusiasm. This season Dortmund is very likely to create the most glorious season in history. Although they have won the league championship and the Champions League, but They have never won both championships in the same season!
If they can really win these two championships this season Dortmund fans are afraid to think about it. Originally, they thought they could win the Champions League this season, just like in history, they gave up the league and lost in the Champions League. A good impact is already the happiest thing. However, now the advantage in the league has been gradually established, and the Champions League has also entered the semi-finals. Even in the face of the encirclement and suppression of three Serie A teams, with the previous accumulation of confidence, this It doesn¡¯t seem to be a big deal¡
However, Dick knows that the current situation is still on thin ice. Although a five-point lead in the league is a big advantage, the players are now competing continuously, and the Champions League must be played with caution. Dortmund does not care about their strength. It's because no team in the top eight has an advantage. It's not easy to achieve a brilliant result this season.
After returning from Madrid, Dortmund immediately went to Munich to challenge another team in Munich, Munich 1860.
In this game, Dick made substantial adjustments to the starting lineup, except for the two suspended players Vaughns and Flins.??Except for the starting lineup, all the other main players got a chance to rest. Anyway, with a five-point advantage, Dick felt that even just one point in the away game was acceptable
The final score of the game was zero to zero. Dortmund drew with Munich 1860 in the away game. Bayern picked up the mood and defeated Wolfsburg with two goals in the away game, reducing the points behind Dortmund to three points - -Bayern does not want to give up the competition for the league title. They will not relax at all. They will always force Dortmund and they will not dare to relax at all.
"A three-point advantage is enough." Dick thought in his mind that it was his idea to use the league to train before the start of the Champions League, so after a week's rest, Dortmund played Wolfsburg at home. , Dick sent out all his main forces.
In the end, relying on the goals of Ricken, Rosicky and Cavinagi, Dortmund beat Wolfsburg 3-2 in a goal battle and continued to lead the standings with a three-point advantage, using their best State, welcome to the Champions League semi-finals!
