Chapter 328: Juventus

Keep in mind

address

'We won the game and I'm happy with the result. [No pop-ups. We should be able to win more, but in such a rough environment, it's good that we can win. So I'm satisfied. ”

Dick's first words after attending the press conference were full of gunpowder, and Lippi naturally knew that Dick was saying that the Juventus players' actions on the field were too rough, but he didn't move, just said lightly: "I don't know when the Bundesliga club also started to think that the opponent's actions were too rough." ”

"There's a line between a malicious foul and a tactical foul." Dick replied-for-tat: "But we won the game, and we will try to win the game on the road, as long as the opponent does not foul maliciously, then we will also follow the rules of the game." I've never led a team that wants to win and use malicious fouls. Of course, if the other side likes to do that, I still have a couple of substitutes to sacrifice. ”

The two sides broke up at the post-match press conference, and the details of Dick's face-to-face lectures on the sidelines of the two young players were also revealed after the game, which made the Italian media criticize Dick's overreaction, while the German media believed that Dick was just using this to put pressure on the other side, and his team has never been carded - didn't you see that in Merck's games, he only had one player receive a yellow card?

This war of words will continue, and Dortmund has already begun to prepare for the 32nd round of the league.

They are at home to Nuremberg - Nuremberg are now basically relegated to settle down, they are now in seventeenth place, five points away from 15th place Borussia Mönchengladbach, unless they can win all of them next, and then Borussia Mönchengladbach only have three points to be able to succeed in relegation, but Dortmund, who are now striding towards the league title, is unlikely to have any slackening at this time!

In this game, despite the hard work of the players in the last game, the substitutes at Borussia Dortmund have been waiting for this game for a long time, and Dick did not disappoint them, and he sent almost all the substitutes to play this game.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, left back is Madonny, right back Alves, central defenders are Vaughan and Ismail, in the midfield, Demer, Klinger and Frings form a back three, the two attacking midfielders are Ricken and Everton, and Olic is one to break forward.

Warnes and Frings are the main players of the team, but they were suspended in the last Champions Cup game, and there is no problem with this start, Alves is still young, such a set of lineups can give Dortmund's main team enough rest time, and Dortmund's substitutes also showed excellent form in this game!

Ricken opened the scoring for Borussia Dortmund in the 28th minute, and ten minutes into the second half, he scored twice to seal the victory, before Everton and Olic scored twice in the 65th and 66th minutes as Dortmund beat Nuremberg into a sieve at home and the victory kept them three points at the top of the table.

Of course, Bayern are not to be outdone, they played Hertha Berlin 6-3 away from home, and also showed excellent form - with two rounds of the league remaining, Bayern are now three points behind Dortmund, but in goal difference, they are one ahead of Dortmund, if Dortmund loses one of the next league rounds, Bayern may rely on goal difference to win the league title, they have not lost hope.

After this round of league matches, the entire Dortmund team flew to Turin to await the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Away to Juventus, if they can advance, it will be their second time in their history to reach the final of the Champions League!

Of the eight games Dick said earlier, they have played four, three league games, one Champions Cup, and now they hope to play two more Champions League games.

"I don't know why the media thinks we're in a bad situation, don't forget that now we're 2-1 up. Does Juventus have an away goal advantage? I don't think we can't score a goal away from home. We were 1-1 at home and we will do the same this time! ”

Dirk was very high-profile when he arrived in Turin, which made him an instant enemy of all Juventus' supporters.

"Let that arrogant Chinese die!"

Many Juventus fans have made such an appeal, in their opinion, Dick is simply a heinous crime, and he dares to be disrespectful to the great Juventus, especially when he wins 2-1 at home, and he is so confident...... Yes, we do have two main players suspended and unable to play, but with our heritage, we can still send a strong starting lineup!

'We'll show Dortmund how Juventus will perform on our home turf.' Lippi's answer was quite graceful.

On May 15, hundreds of Dortmund fans and more than 50,000 Juventus fans were welcomed at the Alp Stadium, and it was obvious that everyone was very concerned about this game, because the day before, AC Milan drew 1-1 with Inter Milan away from home, and entered the final of the Champions League with the advantage of more away goals.

Juventus fans have a huge amount of confidence in this.

Dick's starting XI was unchanged, except that he seemed to be a bit more conservative on the road, with Lehmann in goalkeeper, Ruit and Dede at full-back, Warnes and Metzelder in central defence, Kyle, Rosicky and Frings in the back, Rivaldo and Okocha up front, and Kavinaghi up front.

Lippi used Montero and Tudor in central defence, right-back Thuram at left-back Billindley, midfielders Zambrotta, Davies and Tacchinadi in the back three, Nedved up front, Piero and Trezeguet in attack.

Lippi's words are right, Juventus at home, the momentum is indeed different.

Sometimes the difference between home and away is here, especially when both sides are strong teams, as a home team, both in attack and self-confidence, the away team will be unconsciously in a passive state.

From the very beginning of the game, Juventus changed their unhurried style on the road and began to play very actively at home, constantly putting pressure on the Dortmund defence.

Dick was prepared for this, otherwise he would not have sent Ruyt on the right instead of Alves, but he needed to stabilize on the road.

In the first ten minutes, Juventus had three shots on goal, Trezeguet opened with a sweeping shot in the penalty area, and then Nedved's free kick was blocked off the sideline, and Piero's volley was also high above the crossbar.

In comparison, Dortmund's players seem to be a bit slow-moving......

In the twelfth minute of the game, there was a huge cheer from the Juventus fans at the Alp Stadium!

Zambrotta passes the ball to Tacinadi on the right side, Tacinadi takes a high ball to the edge of the penalty area, Trezeguet pushes Kyle's header to the right, Nedved crosses after getting rid of Dede beautifully, the ball flies to the back post, Piero who inserts it grabs in front of Ruyt at the back post and pushes the ball back to the middle, and the follow-up Trezeguet grabs the foot before Metzeld and stabs it, and the ball flies into the door of Dortmund!

"See our attack?"

Countless Juventus fans roared with rage, such a goal made them feel extremely comfortable, and Dortmund's lack of resistance in this series of suppressive attacks made them strengthen their team's hopes of qualifying!

"Juventus scored from the start! Now they have the advantage in the two-legged match, and if that score is maintained until the end, then they will be in the final! Dortmund seemed to be a little stunned......"

In the shouts of the commentators, Dortmund quickly began to counterattack - they didn't particularly care about conceding goals, because Dick stressed at the beginning that they should not expect to win a 0-0 game away from home, because Juventus' attack on the away side will be very ferocious, and Dortmund may not be able to hold it!

Under the leadership of Rivaldo and others, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack, but Juventus began to fight patiently after taking the lead, they continued to hinder Dortmund's attack, and at the same time waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, looking for holes in Dortmund's defense.

When Juventus started playing calmly like this, they were actually very scary, the two sides were locked in the middle of the field, and it was not so easy for Dortmund to create chances.

In the 19th minute, Okocha created a free-kick that Rivaldo went around the wall but flew off the crossbar.

In the 22nd minute, Okocha stopped the ball in the box and turned to shoot, but the ball was saved by Buffon.

In the 31st minute, Okocha created another free-kick, Rosicky's free-kick went around the wall, but Buffon flew to pick it up.

These were the only three chances created by Dortmund in the first half, Juventus' impregnable defense left them helpless, and although the Dortmund players were patiently looking for opportunities, they still struggled to get too many chances in Juventus' defence!

And when the game reached the forty-third minute, Juventus scored the second goal with an inadvertent long pass!

Thuram cleared the ball at the back, but the ball fell directly to the feet of Piero, Piero burst into the penalty area with the ball in the counterattack, facing the oncoming Warnes, he changed direction three times in a row to shake so that Warnes lost his center of gravity, and then Piero broke through and quickly volleyed with his right foot, the ball flew between Warnes and Metzelde, Lehmann was blocked in time, the save was a step slower, and the ball hung straight into the net!

Two to zero! Before the end of the first half, Juventus extended their lead to two goals and led three to two on aggregate!

"Juventus are really impressive at home! Dortmund are in trouble now, can they turn the tide on the road? For Borussia Dortmund, the 45 minutes of the second half will be the most crucial 45 minutes for them to advance! ”
