"Dortmund conquers Moscow!"

This is the headline used by many German media to describe the victory, although it is not only Borussia Dortmund who will participate in the second stage of the group stage, but Bayer Leverkusen lost 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first round and will face Inter Milan and Newcastle in the next round. [No pop-ups. 】

In this case, it seems that only Dortmund can fight for the Bundesliga in the Champions Cup......

In the other round, AC Milan beat Real Madrid 0-0 at home, with Rui Costa delivering a stunning 60-metre through ball that Shepchenko slotted in – and now Borussia Dortmund top the group with two goal difference, followed by AC Milan.

In the next round, Dortmund will host AC Milan at home, and this game will also be a test.

Dortmund have two league games to play before that, away to Nuremberg and at home to Kaiserslautern, then at home to AC Milan and then away to Cottage Ivbus – and then they will have a month-long and ten-day winter break before returning to the Bundesliga on 25 January.

The results of the league, Dick is guaranteed, the Bundesliga can pose a threat to Dortmund There are not many teams, as long as they do not have problems themselves, few teams can steal points from them, after all, whether it is overall or individual ability, Dortmund has a huge advantage.

In the away game against Nuremberg, Dick rotated a part of his players, Rivaldo and Okocha were both on the bench, and they were replaced by Ricken and Everton, and it was the two players who scored a goal each in the second half to help Dortmund beat Nuremberg 2-1 away, and Bayern won 2-0 at home to Hertha Berlin to continue to chase behind Dortmund with a one-point deficit.

After a week's rest, Dortmund welcomed Kaiserslautern at home, in this game, Dick adopted the tactic of cutting off Kaiserslautern's midfield to the forward support, Klose looked isolated throughout the game, although he scored a goal in the game, but Dortmund relied on Cavinaghi's goal and Rivaldo's brace to beat Kaiserslautern 3-1 at home, and after losing to Bayern, he won four consecutive league games in one go, and his form is amazing!

Bayern also not to be outdone swept Stuttgart 3-0 away, showing the momentum of wanting to get Dortmund off the horse in one go, and their crazy pursuit did make Dortmund feel the pressure.

In this case, Dortmund's players did not perform very well in the next Champions Cup, AC Milan used excellent defense and sharp counterattacks to make Dortmund's players repeatedly frustrated in attack, Dortmund at home as many as eighteen shots on goal did not have a single one can enter the door of AC Milan, and AC Milan relied on a sharp counterattack, by Inzaghi five minutes after the start of the second half, after receiving Seedorf's cross after successfully scoring the only goal of the game, Borussia Dortmund lost at home!

"We lost on experience, and compared to a team like AC Milan who often play in the Champions League, we still have a certain gap in terms of consistency, and at the same time we lose in luck. Luckily Real Madrid didn't win, the other four rounds of next year are the most crucial and we will give everything to qualify from the group. ”

After losing this game, Dick did not seem so disappointed - of course, this is also the factor that Real Madrid unexpectedly drew 2-** at home by Lokomotiv Moscow, now Dortmund is still three points, Real Madrid only has one point, and then AC Milan will play against Lokomotiv Moscow in a row, after beating Real Madrid and Dortmund in a row, their chances of qualifying are the greatest, and Dortmund's two consecutive games against Real Madrid will determine the ownership of another qualifying place!

"After going to the Bundesliga, Dick still couldn't get along with Real Madrid...... Presumably, when he leads the team to Madrid, there will be countless Atletico fans who will express their support for him......"

In fact, this may indeed be a reality, at least even Real Madrid fans are beginning to feel that when Dick leads the team to Madrid to play the Champions Cup next year, there will be many Atletico Madrid fans who will go to the Bernabeu Stadium to support Dick......

Although lost to AC Milan at home, but in the process Dortmund was not at a disadvantage, but once suppressed AC Milan breathlessly, if it were not for Cavinaghi and Rivaldo missed a great opportunity, AC Milan did not have a chance to fight back, Real Madrid is not very good in the Champions Cup now, Dortmund fans are full of confidence, thinking that they can beat Real Madrid next year and enter the knockout round of the Champions Cup!

Since reaching the semi-finals of the Champions Cup in the 9798 season, Dortmund missed two seasons of the Champions League in the next four seasons, and the remaining two seasons were lost in the group stage, they have not been able to enter the knockout stage of the Champions League for four years, this season Dick's arrival has given them hope, and now, they also have great hopes, hoping to return to 1997!

At that time, they reached the pinnacle of the club, and under Heathfield they won the Champions Cup, which was their peak moment, and now, they are dreaming of a second peak moment – a double in both the league and the Champions Cup!

You must know that at that time, Heathfield led the team to two league titles and then won the Champions Cup, and did not win the championship at the same time, and now although Dortmund is still far from the double, they have begun to look forward to that moment, Dick's high profile can not only bring confidence to the players, but also to the fans.

It is precisely because of this high profile that after losing to AC Milan at home, the morale of the Dortmund players was not affected, but in the next round of the league, they vented all their frustration of losing to AC Milan on the promoted horse Cottbus, and then poor Ketbus was beaten into a sieve by the crazy Dortmund at his home stadium......

Cavinaghi opened the scoring in the eighth minute, Okocha scored another goal in the 47th minute from inside the box, substitute Olic added another in the 83rd minute and Kavinaji scored twice in the 87th minute......

Four to zero! It was Dortmund's biggest win of the season, but in the other round, Bayern stopped their winning streak when they were held to a 040-0 draw at home by Schalke, who extended their lead to three points!

When the winter break came, Dortmund achieved 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 17 rounds of league games, while Bayern had 12 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and the third place was Bremen, their results were 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, Dortmund only lost to Bayern Munich once, Bayern lost to Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen once each, Bremen lost to Dortmund, Bielefeld, Munich 1860 and Wolfsburg, they had a higher error rate against mid-table teams, and they were left six points away by Bayern, The biggest factor in being thrown off nine points by Borussia Dortmund.

"Bremen have the ability to challenge for the title, but the biggest problem with them compared to Bayern and Borussia Dortmund is inconsistency, Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga is still there, but it has begun to be strongly attacked by Dortmund. Under the leadership of Dick, although Dortmund had some ups and downs at the beginning of the league, but after losing to Bayern, they showed a top level, with a wave of consecutive wins to consolidate their position in the standings, after the start of the second half of the league, if Dick can find a fusion point in the Champions Cup and the league, so that Dortmund can better play their strength in the two-line battle, this season's Dortmund, may be terrible! ”

"February is going to be a very big month for Borussia Dortmund...... Dortmund will be in good shape if they get a good result in the two games against Real Madrid, and it has been clear from Dick's tenure that the Dortmund players are getting better and better, and they are starting to become more and more proficient with each other, and they should be able to perform better and better as time goes on...... Of course, this is only theoretical, and we will need to see how Dick does in the second half of the season. ”

The German media have commented on Dick's work in this half season, in general, Dick has done a perfect job in this half season, earning more than 20 million in the transfer market, reducing salary expenses by more than 10 million, leading by three points in the league, and reaching the second stage of the group stage in the Champions Cup - such a result is not good, so what kind of result can be considered good?

"I'm glad we had a great first half of the season...... We are in a good situation right now, and this is inseparable from your efforts. I didn't say what our goals were for this season, but now I can tell you. It doesn't matter if it's a league title or a Champions Cup title, I need it! January 25 is the day to start the competition, May 29 is the day when all the games are over, and in those four months and four days, if we want to win two titles, we need to play 26 more games, a little more than six games a month, and we need to give it our all in those 26 games. Now we have a month off, so let's have a good rest in this month, and use our best condition and best fitness to meet the next competition! In the second half of the season we have the advantage in Europe! Because we are playing against teams from other leagues that have not been rested enough and are starting to feel tired! This is our advantage and we have to make good use of it to try to complete a brilliant season in the next half season! I'm sure you have the same idea as I am, which is to make history in Dortmund and create a glory that will always be remembered – and it will depend to a large extent on how well you can rest and adjust to your condition during the holidays. ”

Before announcing the start of the winter break, Dick told the players on the training ground that for most of the Dortmund players, especially those who joined this season, most of them joined Dortmund for Dick and honor, not for money, Dick's statement will undoubtedly make them feel extremely happy, and they also feel extremely longing for the second half of the season.

"On January 10th, I am waiting for you to regroup and attack the two champions!"
