Dick took the entire Borussia Dortmund squad to Madrid to prepare for the game, and before he arrived in Madrid, the entire Madrid media and fan base were already getting excited.

This is the first time Dick has returned to Madrid since leaving Madrid at the end of last season!

After stepping down from the position of Atletico Madrid's head coach, Dick lived in Madrid for a period of time, until he accepted Dortmund's invitation, he never returned to Madrid, and some of Madrid's hands and tails were cleaned up by his two assistants, which also made many Madrid fans feel that he was a little ruthless, and many people could understand him - after leaving Atletico Madrid, he rarely mentioned Atletico Madrid in interviews, and rarely pointed fingers at Atletico Madrid's transfers and games, This is already a benevolent and righteous to do all the things he can do, which makes Atletico fans miss him and begin to appreciate Dick even more.

When Dick and Dortmund's plane landed in Madrid and walked out of the airport hall, Dick was surprised to see more than 100 Atletico Madrid fans with banners to welcome him......

"Welcome back, Dick!"

After seeing Dick's figure, Atletico Madrid's fans let out a huge cheer, many Atletico Madrid fans were shouting Dick's name, but they did not shout "Dick's back", one is to respect Dick and Dortmund, and secondly, Aragonés has done a good job in Atletico Madrid this season, and they also respect the old coach.

Dick laughed, then raised his hand to wave to the Atletico fans, and only after hearing the sound of the Atletico fans continuing to cheer did he drop his hand and walk out of the airport with the Dortmund players.

"Wow, the boss is so popular in Madrid." Kavinaghi couldn't help but say.

Rivaldo laughed: "It's strange if you're not popular...... It's only half Madrid, how much that half of Madrid loves him, how much the other half of Madrid hates him, and of course, the whole of Barcelona. ”

As an old La Liga, Rivaldo naturally knows what kind of influence Dick has in La Liga, and he is not surprised that there are so many Atletico Madrid fans to support Dick: "Tomorrow's game, we may have a big advantage, Atletico Madrid fans will help us." ”

He smiled and told the Borussia Dortmund players that it had made the Dortmund players start to feel a stronger sense of confidence.

Although they lost to AC Milan in the last game, they were not at a disadvantage on the field, which made the confidence of the Dortmund players itself a lot higher, and Real Madrid's poor form in this group made the Dortmund players not feel afraid - not to mention that they also have a manager who is unbeaten against Real Madrid!

"I am very happy to be back in Madrid for the first time. But as a manager, I don't want that to happen, it means we have to face Real Madrid...... Real Madrid should be stronger this season than last season, Ronaldo's arrival has made Real Madrid more impeccable, but their usual problems have not been solved, and we are not unsure about this game. ”

At the pre-match press conference after coming to Madrid, Dick said lightly that although Real Madrid now has a big advantage in the La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid seems to be a little struggling, but Dick still did not hold Real Madrid to a higher position.

This made Atletico Madrid fans happy, many Atletico Madrid fans said in interviews that no matter what means they used, they would find a way to enter the Bernabeu to support Dick, while Real Madrid fans launched a mobilization order, "not let any home team tickets go into the hands of Atletico Madrid" is their slogan......

Dortmund and Real Madrid match, Atletico Madrid fans and Real Madrid fans started a war!

When the day of February 20 came, a phalanx cheering for Dick appeared in a certain stand at the Bernabeu Stadium!

Although the fans of Real Madrid have worked very hard, after all, the fans of Atletico Madrid are also snakes, they used various methods to get tickets for a certain stand, and then turned that stand into a stand in support of Dick, echoing the north and south of Dortmund's away fans!

"I have to say that Dick does have a lot of support at Atletico, and it can be seen from this game...... It's no wonder, after all, although he has only been in charge of Atletico Madrid for two years, he has won two league titles and two European championships, which is something that all Atletico Madrid managers have not done...... It may have been a little disrespectful to Monsieur Aragonés, but I am afraid he would not have received the same welcome until he had achieved better results than Dick. ”

"Atletico are tomorrow at the Calderón Stadium and if it weren't for that, maybe we'd see the Atletico players in the stands...... Oh, who's that guy in the corner? Isn't it Jadel? No wonder, he has been recovering from injuries recently, and has not appeared in Atletico Madrid's main lineup, now it seems that he is here to support Dick, under the leadership of Dick, he won a La Liga Golden Boot and a La Liga Silver Boot, but with Dick's departure, his bad luck also began, he was injured and rested for two months soon after the start of this season, and he was injured again after two months after recovering from the injury, just like Dick left after he reduced his luck, it is said that Atletico Madrid has planned to sell him in the summer, and this season has changed really a lot... …”

Jadel, who was in the stands, looked at Dick who appeared on the sidelines and smiled bitterly.

He is indeed more unlucky this season, even if Dick is gone, his status will not change much, but he has performed quite poorly because of consecutive injuries, and now Atletico's main striker is Torres and the former La Liga top scorer Moreno, who joined in the summer, and even if he returns, he may only compete with Cruise for a substitute position, and with his high salary, it is said that Atletico Madrid is ready to purge him after the end of the season......

If Dick hadn't left, maybe none of this would have happened.

Dick didn't see Jadel in the stands, and after leaving Atletico, he paid much less attention to Atletico because he knew that there was no point in focusing on this now, unless it meant that Dortmund would meet Atletico in the game.

Real Madrid brought in Ronaldo this summer, giving them another superstar, after Dick left La Liga, Real Madrid's performance has some irrepressible feelings, they are now far ahead of the La Liga standings, Valencia and Deportivo Madrid's performance is declining, Atletico Madrid has no momentum from last season, although Barcelona sold Rivaldo to introduce Riquelme, but has not yet seen the shadow of revival, Real Madrid's results in the league appear to be very good.

However, in the Champions Cup, they encountered a dilemma, not to mention the loss to AC Milan in the first round, maybe it was accidental, but in the second round at home by Lokomotiv Moscow, this is very problematic, this summer they still did not introduce defensive players to strengthen the defense, but the front court is overstaffed, so that strikers like Morientes can only play as a substitute, obviously top-heavy.

In fact, everyone knows the problem of Real Madrid now, the standard top-heavy, relying on the attack of these superstars, they can basically win most of the confrontations in La Liga, so that the advantage in the league will be great, but in Europe, the lack of defense will be a big problem, but this is not a problem for Florentino to consider, after he took office, not only to take honor, but also to make up for the deficit left by the former president Sanz, the introduction of superstars in business benefits more - this itself is a matter of two worlds, Looking at Florentino's behavior from a business point of view, something becomes clear.

Bosque sent a starting XI of 442 in this game, goalkeeper Casillas, because of Hierro's injury, the central defender partner is Elguera and Pavon, and the wings are Salgado and Robert? Carlos, Flavia Conseição and Cambiaso in the back, Zinedine Zidane and Figo in attack, Raul and Ronaldo in attack......

'Twenty years later, the Real Madrid backline is still like this.

Dick couldn't help but complain in the coach's box, except for the addition of Ronaldo, Real Madrid's midfield has hardly changed anything, the only difference is that these people are a year older......

Dick also sent all his main players in this game, goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Alves, Dede, Metzelder and Warnes, midfielder Kyle Frins Rosicky in the back three, Rivaldo and Okocha in the front, and Cavinaghi in the front.

Bosque looked at Dick from afar, a little helpless, although the La Liga without Dick was a little more boring, but there was also a lot less pressure, but it was still met in the European arena, Dick led no longer Atletico Madrid, it became Dortmund, but Dick's tactics against Real Madrid still did not change, this game he sent Alves instead of Ruyt, that is, it was clear that he wanted to fight against Real Madrid, and it was Real Madrid's defense that was played!

With Borussia Dortmund, can you still beat us with attack? If you can really do it, give it a try! Bosque thought to himself.

We're two points ahead anyway, so even if we can't get a win at the Bernabeu, it's not bad to get a draw...... Back at home and clean you up, there are still two rounds left, two rounds of five points advantage...... Hmph, there's no pressure to eliminate you! Dick thought to himself.

Playing Real Madrid, Dick can be said to be very experienced, although the overall strength of Dortmund is worse than Atletico Madrid at that time, but it is not much worse in attack, after all, Atletico Madrid's two attacking midfielders at that time were mainly active on the side, Dortmund was in the middle, Real Madrid's defense in the middle is worse than last season, if you seize the opportunity, it will not be too difficult to score a goal, in the away game, as long as you can get a point, Dick can expand the advantage of points to the maximum, Real Madrid was forced to draw by Lokomotiv Moscow before, It was their biggest mistake!

In such a group of three teams, it is actually normal for each other to win and lose, and if the results are similar to each other, then how many points can be grabbed on the weakest team is a question! Now Real Madrid are at a disadvantage in this regard, and this is what Dick wants to take advantage of.

Both sides have already lost to AC Milan, but Dortmund won against Lokomotiv Moscow, Real Madrid did not, and now Dick's goal is to get at least the same points as Real Madrid in two games!
