In fact, in the eyes of everyone, although Borussia Dortmund won at home, they did not go well afterwards, winning just one goal at home and scoring two away goals...... The most important thing is that Dortmund almost completely spelled out this victory, the Champions League does not have the rule of yellow card cancellation after the group stage, in such a difficult game, Dortmund have a number of players receive yellow cards, away against Arsenal they will have four big players suspended, including Borowski, who opened the scoring in this game, left-back Dede, central defender captain Warnes and center forward Gomez will not be able to play away, such a situation, It's hard to have confidence in Borussia Dortmund's performance.

However, Dick's previous miracles made no one dare to draw such conclusions, and Dick's calmness and composure after the game also made many people in UEFA begin to drum in their hearts - this guy won't create miracles again, right? In that case, what kind of opponent should be arranged for them in the next round......

Dick started preparing for the league with the whole team without caring - the next weekend's league game is also very important for Dortmund, they will go to Bremen away to face Bremen - they have just surpassed Bremen by one point, and if they lose to their opponents in this round, they will be surpassed by two points, which is not a good thing for Dortmund.

So despite just playing a game of all their might, Dortmund still concentrated their energy and waited for the next game.

In this game, Dick arranged a counter-attacking tactic - this tactic worked very well, Arshavin gradually recovered his form with two assists to help Olic and Gomez score successively, Bremen scored goals by Miku and Krasnić, and finally Dortmund drew away from Bremen to maintain their advantage!

'This draw is important for us because it means we will have the advantage in the next game and get match points. The Bundesliga title is important to us and we won't give up on a game like this. ”

Dick's words after this round of the league left the reporters a little confused - not giving up the Champions League and not giving up the league...... Damn, do Dortmund want to win the treble this season? That's too arrogant, isn't it? It's a fact that your strength has dropped this season, and it's already great to be able to keep a championship, but you have to attack on the third line, is this because you haven't died fast enough?

Dick remained silent on the speculation and the following was a day without midweek fixtures, with Dortmund resting and recuperating before hosting Stuttgart at the weekend and then away to Highbury for Arsenal in midweek......

With this period of sprint, the gap between Stuttgart and Dortmund has been widened, and now in addition to Bayern with 45 points and chasing Dortmund with 51 points, Stuttgart now has only 40 points, and there is already an eleven point gap from Dortmund, and Leverkusen is even more behind, they are now only 36 points, a full 15 points difference from Dortmund......

"We have to win this league so that we can beat a rival...... Of course, they beat us in the first half of the season and we have to get that face back at home! ”

Dick's words are very much in line with the appetite of the Dortmund players - now Dortmund have only lost three games in the league, one was an unexpected loss to Cologne, and now they have beaten Cologne and pulled back a game, one to Bayern, and then to get it back, and the loss to Stuttgart, now is the time for revenge!

It doesn't matter if you lose, the key is that after you lose, you have to make up for it - so that you can improve - and this reason instilled by Dick has gradually taken root in the hearts of Dortmund players.

For Stuttgart's head coach Magath, he believes that Stuttgart has shown their quality this season, but they are still too young and have begun to gradually fall behind in the two-line competition - this makes him not very satisfied, but compared to Dick's performance, he still looks a step behind, at least Dortmund is also the same young, the same two-line battle, but not left behind......

He was hoping to prove his worth by beating Borussia Dortmund again, but they were met by a wolf-like Dortmund side.

Dick didn't use any rotation in this game, and Dortmund played all the main players, repaying the fans who were extremely enthusiastic about the game with a high-level game.

Hleb opened the scoring for Stuttgart in the sixth minute, and seeing the Belarusian perform so well, Dortmund's Russians were naturally not inferior, and soon, ten minutes later, he and Borowski and Gomez made two one-two combinations in a row before bursting into the penalty area, facing the attacking Hildebrand calmly pushed into the far corner to equalize for Dortmund!

After the goal, Arshavin began to receive the cheers of the fans, and his current form has begun to recover, once again showing the Russian star who scored goals at the beginning of the season!

Before the end of the first half, it was Arshavin's pass after the side breakthrough, Gomez fell to the ground and stabbed the ball in the near corner of the goal, 2-1, Dortmund overtook the score!

After overtaking the score, Dortmund did not relax their attack, and Stuttgart, which had been winless for four rounds, showed a high level in this game, but was still suppressed by Dortmund.

After a siege, Olic scored another goal in the chaos and thanks to a goal from the front trident, Dortmund extended their lead, while Stuttgart only pulled a point back in the 84th minute thanks to Kuranyi's penalty to suffer five consecutive rounds of winlessness!

The only thing that makes Dortmund fans a little unhappy is that Bremen is still stubbornly continuing to win, chasing after Dortmund, and then Dortmund will go to challenge Arsenal away, if they continue to advance in the Champions Cup, it may affect the league championship......

This is a mixed sentiment for Borussia Dortmund fans, who certainly want the team to continue to move forward in the Champions League, but if they continue to fight on two fronts, I am afraid that the situation will not be good......

However, this is not a problem for Dick, the suspension of the four main players is actually a good way to rotate, and it is enough to fight away from home, and if you can take advantage of it further, you can't improve anymore...... Borussia Dortmund were also eliminated without shame.

So Dick's mentality is very relaxed, not like Arsenal, like facing a big enemy......

On March 11, Arsenal host Borussia Dortmund.

Dick did not change tactically in this game, with four main players missing, and naturally there were substitutes to step up - goalkeeper Weidenfeller, left-back Madonny, central defenders Ismael and Metzeld partnered, right-back Alves, midfielders Kyle, Klinger, Ricken, and forwards Donovan, Olic and Arshavin......

After 90 minutes of action, the Highbury Stadium was filled with cheers from Arsenal fans, and many UEFA members breathed a sigh of relief – Borussia Dortmund eventually lost 2-1 away to Arsenal on aggregate, 4-4 on aggregate, and were unfortunately eliminated from the tournament because of one less goal on the road.

In this game, Arsenal's focus on Dortmund's left side played a great effect, Henry's two goals were scored after receiving a breakthrough on the left, and there was nothing Dick could do about this, it was entirely a player's problem, although Dick protected the left side well, but still created several chances under the opponent's targeted attack, Dortmund although a goal was scored by Olic through a counter-attack, but could not save the situation......

"I'm very happy to have come this far. Facing one formidable opponent after another, a schedule with no respite...... My young players have played at their best. The quality of the Champions Cup is a good thing for Dortmund, it allows us to face the next league more wholeheartedly, we have lost the Champions Cup, but we will not let go of the league title and the German Cup. ”

"This is the first time you've been eliminated in Europe......," a reporter asked.

"Is it really the first time?" Dick asked in some surprise, although his performance made people feel a little pretentious, but the reporters in the audience all nodded in unison, just to see how Dick would react......

"One, two, three, four......" Dick snapped his fingers: "It's not easy, this is the fourth year in a row that I have led the team to participate in the European competition, and it is the first time that I have been eliminated...... Oh yes, I've already won three European championship trophies...... In that case, what's the big deal about losing once in a while? Losing once is not losing everything, and next year, we will always have a chance to come back. ”

As soon as Dick's words came out, the reporters had nothing to say - yes, Dick has indeed lost the Champions Cup this season, but he has won three European Champions League and three league titles in the past three years, so what is the occasional defeat? Even if he loses, his results almost kill more than 99% of professional coaches, is it too early to start rejoicing in front of such a person......

The reporters suddenly felt a little bored, they held back their energy to hype the result of Dick's first elimination in the European arena, and then they were dismayed to find that such hype would not only not cause Dick any damage, but would make him more famous - fans may not have noticed it before, but people remembered such a hype - ouch, Dick has not been eliminated in the Champions Cup for more than three years! He's won the European championship for the past three years! This dick!

If that's the case, it wouldn't be what they intended......

Dortmund fans are naturally very sorry, after all, they still fantasize that the team can defend the trophy - but when they lose, they find that they don't seem to be too disappointed.

After all...... We made so much money in the transfer market, after all, they sold too many good players, after all...... We still have league titles to fight for......

What's more, they didn't lose ugly, stubbornly qualified in a group of death, and unfortunately lost to Arsenal, who have been unbeaten in the Premier League, all this is enough to satisfy them.

"Welcome back, our hero!"

When the entire Dortmund squad returned to Dortmund from London, they were greeted not by invective, nothing else, but by a large banner and a warm welcome from tens of thousands of Dortmund fans – just as they did when they won the Champions Cup last season......
