Chapter 319: Confidence
Keep in mind
address
When Dick appeared inside the Calderón stadium, he was greeted by a storm of applause from the Atletico fans. [No pop-ups. 】
Although there is a continuous drizzle in the sky, such rain cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of Atletico Madrid fans!
The applause of the 54,000 Atletico fans was overwhelming, and the stadium, which had just been rated a five-star stadium by UEFA, seemed to tremble slightly, and all the Atletico fans cheered Dick's name, and the stands were full of banners, all of which were greeting Dick – not antonyms, but genuine, with a kind greeting.
Little Hill in the box had a terrible gloomy face, and Cerezo and Abasolo who were sitting on the side glanced at each other, and their eyes were filled with uncontrollable ridicule and sarcasm.
It's a pity, Dick would have been the most powerful ally of the Hill family, but this little idiot actually drove him away like this, the current chairman is Abasolo , Cerezo has become a front with him, although Little Hill is the largest shareholder, but can he do a lot of things? He has to pay a lot of transfer fees, he has to pay a lot of expenses, and none of the Atletico fans like him yet......
Just look at when, Little Hill starts to lose control of the situation, that is when he kicks away Little Hill and really masters Atletico Madrid!
Dick's eyes were a little moist.
Although he usually seems a little heartless, but the nearly three years in Atletico Madrid have indeed left a strong mark on his coaching career, and Atletico Madrid fans can miss him so much, which also makes him feel strongly moved.
He spread his hands and waved at the stands one by one, cheering from the fans every time his hand shook over one of the stands, until he had beckoned each stand before Dick straightened his clothes and sat down in the visitors' dugout.
As if there had been a tacit understanding, when Dick sat down, the Atletico fans sat down neatly and quickly put away the banners greeting Dick, and at that moment, the Calderon stadium once again became the hell of the visiting team!
"It's touching that Atletico fans miss Dick, but it's understandable because he's the most successful manager in Atletico's history, and he's not leaving for some other reason...... Well, let's talk about the starters of both sides in this game, from a certain point of view, the starters of both sides started to get very strange this time, in the first leg Atletico Madrid was 442, Dortmund was 451, and this game Atletico Madrid returned to the 451 tactics that Dick was used to, and Dortmund began to play 442...... Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper is Molina, defenders Capdevilla, Aguilera, Colocini and Stam, Marchena appeared in the midfield position, and Makelele and Belleron partnered with three backs, the two attacking midfielders are Vicente and Jorgensen, the striker is Torres alone, Moreno's performance in the first leg is not very good, he did not even enter the squad for this game, the two strikers on the bench are Cruz and Jadel, who has returned from injury not long ago! And Dortmund sent a four-four-two formation, the goalkeeper is Lehmann, the two wings of the back line are Dede and Alves, the central defenders are Ismael and Warnes, Metzelder is suspended for this game because of the accumulation of yellow cards, in the midfield, Kyle and Rosicky as double backs, Frings right midfielder, Rivaldo left midfielder - of course, this midfielder is on paper, in fact, in the game, Frings is more like an offensive and defensive midfielder, and Rivaldo is an attacking midfielder. The forward partners are Olic and Kavinaji, and Nigerian striker Okocha is on the bench! It seems that Dick is also planning to use the attack to solve the opponent on the road, after all, if it is a draw, it will be very disadvantageous for them, and the attack must be strengthened on the road......"
"Atletico Madrid are one of the two La Liga teams to reach the knockout stage this season, Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid were both eliminated in the second group stage, while Valencia were also knocked out of the quarter-finals by Inter Milan in yesterday's game, if Atletico Madrid can't reach the last four, then at least two teams have reached the last four in the last three seasons, once three teams have reached the last four, and La Liga, which has won the Champions Cup twice, will not have a team in the last four! Does this mean that La Liga's domination of the Champions League is starting to stop? ”
"In fact, the dominance of La Liga this season has not declined, Valencia's loss to Inter Milan was quite unjust, they almost pressed Inter Milan on both legs, and finally lost on the away goal, Deportivo La Coruna was narrowly eliminated in the last round, from this point of view, Dick's departure has brought considerable losses to La Liga, he has eliminated Real Madrid, if he can also eliminate Atletico Madrid...... Maybe the whole of La Liga will regret leaving La Liga for him! ”
In the comments of the commentators, the first half of the game has already begun, and in the rain, Atletico Madrid, who are playing at home, soon launched an attack!
Although there is one less striker and one more midfielder, it does not mean that Atletico Madrid will treat this game with defense, returning to the four-five formation is no stranger to Atletico Madrid players, and with Contrera and Moreno both missing the start, now Atletico Madrid's starting eleven except for the young Coloccini, all of them have played under Dick, and they are all extremely familiar with the tactics of 451, and there is no problem for Atletico Madrid to play such tactics.
Despite the rain, Calderón's turf was in good condition and did not make much of a difference, and with plenty of protection at his side, Belleron once again showed his ability to control the midfield at the top of his game, creating chances for the Atletico players through his own passes from the very beginning of the game.
Under the attack of Frings and Rosicky, Belleron still beautifully passed a wonderful transfer ball with the outside instep, Jorgensen inserted from the right side, received Belleron's pass, and then still dribbled the ball under Dede's defense to shake an angle, and then quickly crossed with his right foot, the ball drew an arc and flew straight into the penalty area, although Torres was shorter than Warnes and Ismail, but his agility and agility gave him the upper hand, when Ismail was about to clear the ball with a header, He shook his head six meters in front of the goal!
In the midst of the audience's exclamations, the header went past Lehmann's hand but grazed the crossbar and flew off the bottom line, Ismael's interference at the crucial moment left Torres' header a little missing, Torres got up from the ground, shook his head slightly, and then turned and ran out of the Dortmund box.
The Atletico fans in the stands clapped their hands, and Dick nodded slightly off the pitch - Torres didn't look so remorseful, proving that the guy's mentality has begun to mature - he is growing at a surprisingly high speed!
Dick consciously suppressed him for two years, and after two years of hibernation, Torres became the main force this season, and then quickly played 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 it is the atmosphere at Calderón Stadium that has affected him......
So he immediately stood up and made a gesture to the room.
Don't be affected by this attack, suppress them with the attack, and then take them out!
Yes, in the away game, Dick's overall tactics are still attack-oriented, and the opponent is tied 1-1 at home, so you must not be able to be conservative in the away game, don't think that we can score a goal is enough, there are opportunities - you must know that Atletico Madrid's technical level and midfield control ability are better than Dortmund's, and if you do this, Aragonés probably won't mind grinding a 0-0 with such a tepid tactic!
Only by playing high, impacting and attacking back and forth, dragging the game to the point of exploding goals, Dortmund's chances of winning will appear to be greater, after all, they have no shortage of good scorers! If you score one goal, they won't have an innate advantage, and if you score two goals, they will have an even more advantage!
Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack, Rosicky passed the ball to Frijns, Frijns quickly distributed it to Rivaldo, Rivaldo completed a pass when he touched the ball, the ball crossed the Atletico backline from the air, Olic cut in at high speed, forming a single knife!
However, at this point, Olic seemed to be a little nervous and missed the opportunity, he stopped the ball a little wider, and by the time he went to chase it again, Stam was already stuck in front of him, and Molina stepped in time to get the ball.
Olic shook his head, and then ran back, Dick also shook his head, Olic should be able to be more calm, but this season he is more of a workout of Cavinagh, Olic has not played a lot, suddenly get such an opportunity, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort, I just hope that his discomfort will not be too long, and he will recover to his state quickly, otherwise this game will be a little troublesome......
After the defeat of this attack, the two sides began to have some entanglement in the midfield, and the difference with Bayern is that Dortmund has some advantages in confrontation and running, but lacks some technical content - it is always easier to destroy than to build, after some pressing, they cut off the ball, and then quickly launched an attack, Rivaldo took the ball and was brought down by Marchena, Dortmund won a free kick 30 meters away from the goal, Rivaldo did not choose to shoot himself, Instead, he passed the ball diagonally in front of him, and Frings followed up with a long-range shot!
In the face of this powerful long-range shot, Molina did not dare to slack off, saw the momentum of the ball, hit the ball out with a single fist, the ball fell to the control of Makelele, and he quickly passed the ball to Belleron.
Borussia Dortmund's players began to return to the defense in a tidal wave, Atletico saw that there was no chance of a fast attack, they began to attack slowly, Torres pulled out of the box and received a pass from Belleron and then split the ball, Vicente on the left side shot directly from distance, the ball went wide of the far post.
"The game started very quickly, and I don't know if it was Dick's request...... If you play fast like this, there will be more mistakes on both sides, and if one side scores, the game may be a little more beautiful......"
'The momentum is more in Dortmund's favour, they don't care about conceding another one, they can make up for the disadvantage if they score one...... What did Aragonés think? Rather than looking to control the situation on the pitch, Atletico did not seem to be trying to control the situation on the pitch, but instead played against Dortmund's tempo, which was not a wise approach. ”
Dick glanced at Aragonés in the dugout in some surprise - this old guy is still quite confident...... But I like this attitude!
