When Dick led the Borussia Dortmund squad to Japan, it was December 13th, and two days later, they would face South American champions Boca Juniors at the Yokohama International Arena – Boca Juniors have been almost the last conscience of South American teams in recent years, having won one and lost one against European teams for the second year in a row.

In last season's Toyota Cup, Atletico Madrid lost 0-2 to Paraguayan Olympiacos, which made the South American team surpass the European team in the number of Toyota Cup titles.

For the young players of Dortmund, it is the first time for them to participate in this kind of competition, so there is no pretension of the general European championship team, thinking that this kind of competition is chicken ribs or something, after coming to Japan, they did not care about the fatigue of the journey, but quickly entered the state of the game.

Borussia Dortmund have the advantage that the Bundesliga is relatively loose, so the players are not overdrawn too much, and they have a winter break of more than a month ahead, so they are not worried about fitness.

However, for the organizing committee, the European champion team that came to Japan this time seems to be a little star-studded......

If it was Dortmund last year, there would be no problem, Rivaldo's fame alone would be enough, and now? The most popular thing in the whole Dortmund is the Russian Arshavin who joined this season, after all, his outstanding performance in the first half of the season has made him one of the first-line stars, while the rest of the people have a lot less influence.

Dick doesn't care about this kind of worry, he is not from the organizing committee, will he be afraid that the event will not be influential enough?

Although Dortmund's strength has dropped a lot compared to last season, with the momentum of this group of young players and the confidence and fighting spirit accumulated in this half season, it will not be too bad to play on the field, otherwise they will not have finally qualified in a group of death and have been performing well in the league, not to mention, the current Dortmund is not last season's Dortmund, The current Boca Juniors is not the team that has made Real Madrid, Bayern and other teams very jealous of South American powerhouses in the past few seasons, although the head coach is still Bianchi, but Palermo is not there, Riquelme is not there, and after the two soul-level figures in the midfield, the strength of Boca Juniors is also much worse than in previous years.

What Dick didn't expect was that as the head coach of Dortmund, he was the team's most popular person in Japan - although he was a standard Chinese, the Japanese seemed to admire his achievements in Europe, and although in the interview before the League Cup, Dick offended two Asian internationals who played in Europe in one breath, but this cannon-like approach did not seem to damage his popularity.

In addition, there are many Chinese students who have also become the most die-hard supporters of Dick and Dortmund - it is relatively early to broadcast the Bundesliga in China, and Dortmund's popularity in the eyes of Chinese fans is not weak, so on the day of the game, the entire Yokohama International Arena almost became Dortmund's home team!

Most of the stands are echoing with shouts of support for Dortmund, and only more than 1,000 Boca Juniors fans from afar support Boca Juniors - if it were before, there would be more supporters of Boca Juniors, because Palermo and Riquelme also have a lot of popularity in Japan, but now that these two popular stars are gone, the feelings of local fans are naturally more inclined to Dortmund.

Dick didn't have any hands left in this game, except for Metzelde, who returned from injury, who was still on the bench, the other main players all played - goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defenders Dede, Alves, Vaugnes, Ismail, midfielders Kyle, Klinger, Borowski, forwards Olich, Gomez and Arshavin.

Dick's tactics are to play fast and use the fast pace to deal with Boca Juniors, in terms of foot skills, Boca Juniors' players are very good, Dortmund is at a disadvantage in this regard, but despite Dortmund's fatigue, they still have some upper hand in terms of physical fitness, and they have an advantage, so they naturally have to play well.

This kind of back-and-forth attack is not about who makes fewer mistakes, but who is more able to seize opportunities, both teams are relatively young, and they will naturally show some flaws in the tug-of-war attack.

The important thing is that Dortmund are more accustomed to playing in such situations, and this season, apart from playing more solidly in the Champions League, Dortmund have been better able to catch mistakes than their opponents.

This gave them the upper hand at the start of the game.

In the opening three minutes, Klinger sent in a long ball from 40 yards out in midfield, Gomez ran the ball over, and the follow-up Arshavin volleyed directly over the crossbar from 20 yards out.

The fact that he completed an attack so quickly fully illustrates Dortmund's offensive strategy in this game.

Bianchi is not blind to this, but he has not been able to control the midfield - after Riquelme's departure, Boca Juniors' midfield control has dropped several levels, and his replacement of Cania has been completely unable to control the ball in Dortmund's fast and ferocious pressing, and playing positional attacks is not good for Boca Juniors, and after Palermo's departure, they have lacked a deterrent centre-forward.

Therefore, Bianchi can only go down the slope, such a quick attack, Boca Juniors may not lose, after all, Dortmund's experience is not particularly rich.

The two sides began to attack back and forth, and the pace of the transition between attack and defense was fast, and at the same time, ...... The fouls on the field have also become quite numerous......

Within 20 minutes, two yellow cards were awarded to each side, with Borussia Dortmund receiving cards for Borowski and Arshavin, while Boca Juniors were carded for Batagha in midfield and Rodriguez at the back.

In the 24th minute, Dortmund finally took the lead in seizing the opportunity, the front of the Klinger penalty area split the ball, Arshavin took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and then crossed low to the front of the penalty area, Gomez ran to take the ball, attracting Burdisso's defense, but cleverly let the ball out, Olic in the back row received the ball from Gomez in the penalty area, and shot from ten meters away from the goal, the ball flew between the legs of goalkeeper Abondancheri, and then flew into the goal!

Borussia Dortmund leads 1-0!

After the goal, Olic ran around the pitch with excitement, and he scored quite a lot of goals this season, although he was not as good as Gomez in the league, but he was Dortmund's top scorer in the Champions Cup, which also added a lot of his fame......

Dick shook his fist off the pitch and was able to score first in such a back-and-forth tug-of-war, proving that his tactics were appropriate, and he also had a lot of interest in winning the Toyota Cup - after all, there was only one Toyota Cup left after this Toyota Cup, and then it was replaced by the World Club Cup.

Dick has almost confirmed that he is going to Inter Milan next season, and it is obvious that he will not be able to participate in the last Toyota Cup, that is, if he wants to win the Toyota Cup, this is the last chance - for Dick, who is now a bit of a champion collector, he is bound to win this championship, and he has not even used the goal card since the beginning of this season, and he used three cards in one go in this game, that is, he plans to win the Toyota Cup this time!

In the face of such a strong desire and anti-heaven means, although Bianchi is a top head coach, he is still very aggrieved and at an absolute disadvantage......

Dortmund didn't stop running throughout the game, and as soon as a player started to run, Dick would immediately choose to make a substitution, first replacing Borowski, who was declining in fitness, in the 53rd minute, replacing Ricken to continue to strengthen the attack, and then replacing the opener Olic with Donovan in the 61st minute, and finally replacing Alves, who also began to decline in fitness, in the 82nd minute......

With such substitutions, Dortmund were firmly in control throughout the game and did not give Boca Juniors any chance to control the midfield and attack.

Although Dortmund equalised in the first half thanks to a goal from midfielder Donnet, in the second half, they still paid the price for the holes in their defence, Arshavin took the lead for Dortmund again in the 52nd minute, and Ismael's header sealed the victory in the 71st minute!

When Dick stood up from the dugout with open arms, everyone knew that Dick had won another championship that he had never won before!

"Dick's performance was amazing! Let me count how many titles he has won...... In the small half of the season he won the Copa del Rey, the next year he won the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and the League Cup, the third year he won the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, La Liga and the Champions Cup, last year he won the Bundesliga and the Champions Cup, this season he has won the German League Cup, the European Super Cup, and now this Toyota Cup...... In less than four years since his debut, he has already won thirteen championships! For most managers, it's an honor that takes a lifetime to earn, but he's not yet 25 years old and has won so many titles, and I now have a question - will Dick still have the motivation to challenge for other titles in the future? ”

The commentator's words were playful, but many people had the same question - indeed, when he has won so many titles, will he really have the motivation to do the next?

However, for Dick, this is not a problem at all, for Dick, who is now strolling on the podium and shaking hands with the members of the organizing committee to lift the trophy, he still has a long way to go in the future - the long-term goal, to defeat all the Western coaches, the medium-term goal, to become the owner of Atletico Madrid, to become the savior of Atletico Madrid, the short-term goal, with an incomparably brilliant aura to drive to Meazza and create one miracle after another!

At least for now, Dick will not lack any motivation, no matter what the circumstances, no matter how many championships he wins, he just thinks that he has set another record, and there are still many records for him to break.

If Dick had heard such an exclamation, perhaps he would have replied with a well-known advertising slogan: "Success? I'm just on my way. ”
