April 9. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

There are not a few Atletico Madrid fans who came to Westfa-Ren, they came with 3,000 people, and Dortmund FC also showed the style of friendly matches, and there were a full 3,000 tickets allocated to Atletico Madrid fans, which just occupied a stand - in fact, this is also a smooth thing, the tickets for the Champions Cup are part more expensive than the tickets for the Bundesliga match, and the Dortmund club is reluctant to let the fans spend too much, although the two clubs have no entanglement before, but because of Dick, it is normal to show friendliness, so Dortmund is very generous in providing tickets.

It was a pretty bizarre Champions Cup game.

The importance of the match was undeniable, but the atmosphere before the game was friendly, with the Dortmund fans singing the Dortmund anthem, then the Atletico fans singing the Atletico anthem, then the Dortmund fans starting to sing their own songs in support of Dick, and the Atletico fans soon sang the songs they had written for Dick......

"It's a strange picture, but it doesn't seem to be inconsistent with Dick at all. It's no secret that Atletico Madrid fans are still grateful and nostalgic for Dick, and Dortmund fans are immensely supportive of Dick's work at their club, and although the match was a confrontation between the two sides, they found common ground on this point. ”

As he walked out of the tunnel, Dick greeted the Atletico players he knew one by one, Molina, Marchena, Stamm, Capdevilla, Makelele, Belleron, Vicente, Jorgensen, Torres......

Nine of the 11 players who started Atletico were brought in or promoted by him, with only right-back Antonio Contra and striker Moreno not very familiar – both of whom made a name for themselves at Alaves and then failed at AC Milan before joining Atletico at the same time.

Patting Torres on the shoulder, Dick laughed and said, "I can't wish you a great job...... But I still want you to do a little bit better, and besides, don't overdraw yourself too much, understand? ”

Torres pursed his lips and nodded heavily, he always understood what Dick meant, so he didn't choose to leave after Dick left, he was in Atletico Madrid, waiting for Dick to come back......

After the two sides shook hands, the game officially kicked off.

Dortmund, who played at home, launched an attack from the beginning of the game, and Dick sent his usual four-five in this game, goalkeeper Lehmann, defender Dede and Alves' Brazilian wings, the central defender is the German combination of Warnes and Metzelde, three midfielders, Kyle, Frings and Rosicky who has returned from injury, Rosicky has been out for a lot of games, and Dick did not send him to play during the insurance period in the last round of the league, two forwards Rivaldo and Okocha, and striker Cavinagh.

Now Cavinaghi is Dortmund's top scorer, scoring a total of eight goals in the Champions League group stage and contributing to Dortmund's qualification, and no one considers him a new signing anymore, even Atletico Madrid, who will focus on Cavinagy.

It was Marchena who was in charge of defending Cavinaghi and became a regular in the Atletico backline after Thuram's departure, and kept Coloccini at bay with his excellent performances, and it was also very fitting for him to mark Cavinaghi in this game, with Stam in charge of filling in.

In the past, Dortmund's attack was basically dominated by attacking on the right side, because they had quite a lot of good attacking players on the right side, but in this game, Dick's fine-tuning of Dortmund's attack was mainly on the left side, for the simple reason that he felt that Conterra was a little better to deal with than Capdevilla.

Conta's best years were at Alaves, when he was the first right-back in La Liga, a full-back on par with Carlos, but after joining AC Milan, he performed very badly, and now he is back in La Liga and has joined Atletico Madrid, and his performance is very different from before.

He used to eat on offense, but now his attacking ability is not as good as before, but the defense is as bad as ever, and his performance this season has made Atletico fans miss Héctor immensely, although Héctor is never conspicuous on the pitch, but he is a very reliable full-back, in this position, reliability is often very important.

So in the league, many times Aragonés still wants the old captain Aguilera to save the game, but in this game, he still sent Contra, and on the road, it is also his idea to use the offensive advantage, and Dick is taking advantage of this, focusing on attacking the opponent's right side!

Dede himself is also a full-back with excellent assist ability, he is not as fast as Alves, but he is more mature than Alves, and the cooperation between teammates is also very skillful, with Keel in charge of defending on this side, from the beginning of the game, he has been frequently forward, and then try to open up the situation for Dortmund through his own attack.

Coupled with Rivaldo's cruise, which draws the attention of Makelele and others, Contra will basically be directly exposed to Dede's front insertion.

Contra was injured when he was in Milan, and that injury was also a turning point in his performance, and Dede used his body more to break through when he stepped forward to assist, Conte began to be deflated repeatedly, and Dede had two passes on the side after the break in the opening minutes, if it wasn't for Stam's solid defense and continuous clearance, maybe Cavinaghi would be able to find a good opportunity in the penalty area!

"Dick, this guy is still like this, if the other party has a weak point, then chase and fight." Aragonés shook his head, but he was not worried about this, he also knew Dick's character very well, or rather, he sent Contra in this game to give Dick a trick like this.

Dede's forward assist, he is nothing more than a long-range shot and a cross, for these two points, Aragonés has a proper arrangement, and Rivaldo is not a player who operates on the side, so to deal with him or rely on the middle, so Aragonés does not feel that his right side will have too big a problem, and when Dortmund's attack is concentrated on the right side, Atletico Madrid will form a counterattack through this side!

The main attacking force at the beginning was Jorgensen.

After fending off a wave of Dortmund attacks, Atletico began to counterattack, Jorgensen grabbed the gap after Dede's assist, and then he received Belleron's accurate ball, after taking the ball, he continued to carry the ball under the entanglement of Kell, and then distributed the ball to the middle, and Belleron, who was inserted in the back row, met the ball and shot from a distance!

The ball whistled towards Dortmund's goal, but Rosicky appeared in the path of the ball, blocked the ball with his body, and the ball rolled out was obtained by Frings, who immediately passed a through ball to Okocha in front, and Dortmund launched a counterattack.

Okocha didn't move forward with the ball very quickly, but he was not hindered because Makelele's attention was on Rivaldo, and he did not dare to leave Rivaldo to defend Okocha, which might be more threatening.

Capdevilla was forced to switch positions to defend Okocha, but Okocha controlled the ball at his feet and then distributed the ball to Frings, who took the ball and pulled out a gap and suddenly got up and shot from 28 meters from goal!

Frings's long-range shots are very distinctive, he will hit a lot of long-range shots, but if he doesn't hit high, it is often the kind of erratic fairy ball, which makes the goalkeeper miserable!

Now this long-range shot is a fairy ball, the ball first flew to the left side of the goal in a slight arc, and when Molina had already made a judgment, it turned to the right side of the goal!

To the exclamations of the Atletico fans, the ball flew past Molina's hand and then flew off the bottom line against the post!

"It's dangerous! Atletico escaped! Frijns' condition looks very good, Atletico Madrid's defensive ability in the middle has decreased a lot compared to last season, after all, there is less such a player as Baraja who sprints back and forth, once Belleron wants to attack forward, only Makelele will be left to defend alone, if it is not too much of a problem in the face of other teams, there are always two forwards to cooperate with Dortmund in the face of attack, no matter how strong Makelele is, he can't fight against two forwards at the same time, this is not the reason for strength, but the reason why he can't be distracted...... ”

Dortmund's attack caused Atletico to break out in a cold sweat, and Aragonés also frowned - it seems that Dick did not get into his trap, in addition to focusing on Atletico's right side, they also arranged a lot of attacking means in the middle.

Thinking of this, Aragonés made a gesture and signaled the team to launch a counterattack - you can't play too conservatively away from home, Atletico Madrid is not too sure that they won't concede a goal away from home, after all, their back line is weaker, on the contrary, it is not necessarily a good practice to use the attack to suppress Dortmund and strive to create the initiative away from home.

After getting instructions from Aragonés, Atletico Madrid began to attack away from home - their attack is still very good, after the single striker becomes a double striker, Atletico Madrid's forward attack is more flexible, Torres and Moreno are flexible forwards, and the cooperation between them is also good, plus two technical wings, Atletico Madrid is now more delicate and pervasive in attack than Atletico led by Dick before.

Dortmund launched a defense - for this, Dick could not be unaware, in the face of the Atletico Madrid team he led before, Dick would not let the team easily turn to defense, because that Atletico Madrid is very capable in the face of dense defense, Jadel and Cruise are both sharp weapons to break the formation, plus Baraja's long-range shot, Belleron's scheduling, dense defense will not be much of a problem, but now Atletico Madrid is more delicate and better, but the impact is weaker, That's why they haven't done as well in the league as they have been in previous years, because they're always dealing with a dense defence, but they don't have a good way to deal with it......

When they started attacking, they started to feel the toughness of Dortmund's defence.

The three midfielders left them with little way to penetrate the box, while the two centre-backs were not afraid of crosses, and it was not easy to break through on the flanks, with Moreno being submerged in the box and Torres having little room to play with the occasional ball.

In the end, Atletico's attack could only end in failure, and after passing back and forth for a long time, they could not find a good chance to score, and finally had to rely on Belleron to cut forward and complete a long-range shot, but the ball went wide of the far post.

Dick nodded, then stood up and made a forward gesture - Dortmund should start the counterattack!
