Chapter 286: Two Heroes
After the draw ceremony for the group stage came out, the German media was generally not very optimistic, Bayern was in a veritable group of death, and Dortmund's group was not much better, Bayer Leverkusen was slightly better, but it was also in a group with Manchester United, with their form this season, whether the group can qualify is really a big question.

Dick didn't say anything about this, he only cares about his Dortmund, and what the other Bundesliga teams will do has nothing to do with him - he only focuses on the next games, with the fall of Bayer Leverkusen this season, Dortmund's main opponent is Bayern, Bayern won the next two league games after an unexpected draw in the first round, and both games were big wins, 6-2 at home to Bielefeld, 3-0 away to Hamburg, showing excellent form, scoring nine goals in two gamesThis offensive ability is really frightening.
In fact, Bayern's advantage in the Bundesliga has always been great, they play more open in the Bundesliga, and they are often able to play big scores, which also creates Bayern's domineering and status in the Bundesliga.
In the fourth round of the league, Dortmund is away to challenge Bochum, who has previously ranked in the rankings, while Bayern ushered in the Munich derby, their opponent is Munich 186o, these two games are considered to be the focus of the battle, although Munich 186o is suppressed by Bayern in all aspects, but as a derby, the result of the game is easy to surprise, and Bochum has started this season exceptionally well, and they are surprisingly ranked first in the standings after three consecutive wins!
Bochum is only 30 kilometers away from Dortmund, to some extent, this is also a Ruhr derby, but compared to Dortmund and Schalke 04, Dortmund and Bochum are not taken seriously, in the previous years, Bochum was abused by Dortmund almost every year, but Bochum's form before this game was so good, 3-1 defeat to Nuremberg and 5-0 sweep of promoted Horse Ketbus are nothing, However, in the last round, they beat Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 4-2 in a match-up, which is a terrifying thing, even if this game is an underappreciated Ruhr derby, it is enough to make people interested enough!
"I haven't underestimated Bochum, and if they are in the rankings now, they must have something special about them. I've been paying close attention to this game as well. An underappreciated derby in the Ruhr area? As long as it's a derby, it doesn't feel unappreciated, and Christiansen's performances are surprising, and it's remarkable to have six goals in three games in a league like the Bundesliga, especially since he played in the Bundesliga last year...... There are a lot of good strikers in Spain, maybe Christian is such a buried player, it's rare for him to have such a performance at the age of 30, I think I will pay a little attention to his performance. ”
Dick's performance in an interview, in the first three rounds, Bochum's performance was definitely one of the biggest highlights since the start of the Bundesliga, scoring six goals in three games, including a hat-trick, which made the previously unknown Spanish striker famous, although this performance was not enough for him to enter the Spanish national team, but for a veteran striker who was born in Barcelona, but has been mixed in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, and even went to Greece to play, and then followed Bochum to promote the veteran striker, It's already a glorious thing.
Christiansen, on the other hand, was very modest in an interview: "I don't know Dick very well, because I've been away from Spain for a long time...... But I've been following La Liga games as well, and he's very good. I'm happy that he's complimenting me like that, but I still want to show my quality with goals in the next games. ”
Such a Ruhr derby, which should not have received much attention, has become one of the main events in this round of the league, even overtaking the Munich derby, and at home to Bochum, this game proved that both sides really deserve to be in the spotlight!
Bochum scored twelve goals in the first three rounds, this kind of offensive power even surpassed Bayern, ranking first among all teams, and Dortmund's goals are not too few, three games of seven goals are also passable, in this game, Dick did not stay, except for replacing Okocha with Ricken, the other main forces all played, Bochum is naturally also the main force to face the game, as a promoted horse, they have no plan, can win one, it is one, which makes their momentum in the opening stage seem very fierce.
Christiansen, who is in excellent form, is naturally Bochum's number one attacker, and all Bochum's attacks revolve around him, and this striker, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 74 kilograms, is a typical goalscorer, he rarely fights against defenders, but constantly runs in the penalty area to find opportunities, occasionally passing people, most of the time is looking for opportunities through running.
Warnes doesn't have a particularly good way to deal with this kind of striker, because he is a central defender with excellent confrontation ability, but his footwork seems to be a little poor, Dick is to arrange Ismael to deal with Christiansen, although Ismael is tall, but his foot movement is quite flexible, plus he has been mixed in many teams for a long time, his mentality and experience are quite good, and he can be regarded as the right medicine to deal with Christiansen.
Of course, if you want to defend the opponent, the best way is to control the passing of the opposition midfield, through which Christiansen gets fewer opportunities, and the best way to deal with such a pure goalscorer and cut off the pass to him from his teammates at the source.
In attack, it is necessary to attack more to score goals - the opponent's offensive ability is very good, so it is not a particularly good way to counterattack with defense, because they have a shooter who is in good shape and good at catching opportunities in the penalty area, and retracting the defense can only allow him to get more opportunities, and using the attack to reduce the opponent's attack and increase the number of goals he scores, which is a positive way of attacking.
Since he is coaching in the Bundesliga, Dick has no intention of playing conservatively in the game, the Bundesliga actually has a lot of offensive play, the team tends to play very open, not bad at all in terms of viewing, plus the top broadcast system, sometimes watching the Bundesliga on TV is simply a pleasure, but the Bundesliga is not bad because they don't have many stars, and they suffer a lot in this regard.
Dick is in such an environment, naturally he has to play a little more openly, play openly, then he can make good use of the flaws and gaps exposed behind those tall defenders, score more goals, have a high probability of winning, and the fans can also watch happily......
From the very beginning of the game, Borussia Dortmund attacked against the visitors, while Bochum were not conservative, they started pressing in midfield, trying to score from the start and boost their morale.
Being able to score so many goals and winning streaks in the first three rounds is a testament to the good form of the Bochum players, but the stars in Dortmund front played a role, and in the thirteenth minute, Cavinaghi passed the ball to Rivaldo, who passed directly to Ricken at the edge of the penalty area, Ricken took the ball and looked up, then took a decisive shot, the ball passed the hand of the opposing goalkeeper in the air, and then flew into the door of Bochum!
"The ball is in! Rickon! Dortmund was once a talented teenager! Although his performances have not been smooth in recent years, he is still one of Dortmund's key players...... Dick didn't give up on him, and although he was relegated to the bench, he was able to get a lot of appearances in some games, this one for his first time of the season, and then he scored! Dick's Dortmund did not score a lot of goals, but the characteristics of multi-point blossoming have been shown, and there have been six goals in the league before, including Frijns, Rivaldo, Cavinagh, Olich, Dede and Everton, and now there is another one! Dick's offensive and multi-point flowering tactics are not eye-catching tactics, but they are very much in line with Dortmund's current reality! Borussia Dortmund are leading away for the time being! ”
Bochum, who was behind at home, attacked fiercely, but Dortmund did a pretty good job defensively, Kyle himself is an excellent defensive player, his running and confrontation are top-notch, at least at the level of the Bundesliga, he can be regarded as a top midfielder, plus the protection of Rosicky and Frijns, Dortmund's defense in the front of the penalty area and in the midfield is quite tough, after resisting a fierce attack from Bochum, Dortmund quickly attacked again and suppressed Bochum in his own half!
After a series of attacks, Flins' long-range shot was blocked by the opposing defender with his body, but the ball rolled to the feet of Rosicky, who did not hesitate to meet the ball and shot from a distance again, the ball drew an arc in the air, and flew into the gate of Bochum again!
"The ball is in again! Another beautiful world wave! Dortmund's long-range shot in this game is amazing! Now they have a two-goal lead! Bochum was completely restrained by Dortmund's attack and failed to play their first few games! Dortmund's dominance in midfield proves it! ”
Bochum, who were two goals behind, began to attack aggressively, and they finally relied on a goal from midfielder Freier before the end of the first half to save a point, but in the second half, substitute Olic once again played the role of a substitute, he received a pass from Rivaldo and pushed the ball into the far corner, 3-1, Dortmund won two in a row, points past Bochum, and Rostock also lost in this round of the league, they lost 1-3 at home to Bayer Leverkusen, who only had two points in the first three rounds. With Bayern also beating Munich 186o 3-1 in the derby, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund reached the top two positions in the standings with the same points, and the situation of the Bundesliga duo this season began to come to the fore!
For this, everyone is mentally prepared, but after a little discomfort at the beginning, the two strong teams began to grab points in the league, but everyone did not expect to be born like this, after all, Dortmund changed the head coach and changed a large number of players, although Bayern's blood change is not big, but Ballack replacing Effenberg This kind of thing can be regarded as a broken muscle, and it is enough to prove the excellence of these two teams!
