"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are on our way to Old Trafford...... As you can see, there is now quite a strong atmosphere of the Champions Cup final on the street! Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan flags fluttered on both sides of the street, as well as fans wearing their jerseys...... For Manchester fans, they may be a little frustrated that Manchester United failed to take advantage of this opportunity to reach the final of the Champions League! ”

"This is the sixth Champions League final to be played in England and the first time it has been played at an English stadium outside of Wembley Stadium! For Borussia Dortmund's head coach Dick, the English stadium is a blessing for him, having led Atletico to the Champions League trophy at Hampton Park in Glasgow, Scotland last season! Will he still be able to pull off miracles at Old Trafford this time? ”

"The first person to lead two different teams to the Champions Cup final two years in a row is Chinese! This was almost unimaginable just a few years ago, but at this time, it has become a reality! AC Milan is a very popular team in China, and I am a fan of AC Milan myself, but at this time, I definitely support Borussia Dortmund! Because the leader of Dortmund is a Chinese! ”

A CCTV commentator said loudly to the camera that if he introduced other teams to the finals, he must stand from a neutral point of view as a commentator, otherwise he will be easily criticized by the mouth, such as the Wong Tai Sin who got out of the way because of a shocking roar a few years later - but at this time, his words will not be controversial at all. [Full text reading. 】

Dick is the first Asian and Chinese to coach in Europe's top five leagues, the second non-white head coach to win the five major league championships, the first non-white head coach to win the Champions Cup, and now, he is the first head coach to lead two different teams to the Champions Cup final for two consecutive years, and is very likely to become the first head coach to lead two different teams to win the Champions Cup for two consecutive years - under such a premise, CCTV's public opinion is naturally one-sided to Dick- It would be strange if it didn't fall to Dick......

By the time the crowd started covering the final, the Dortmund players were already concentrating, and after a short break at the hotel, they boarded the bus and headed for Old Trafford!

The final battle of the season, from this moment, kicked off.

Dick sat at the front, quietly looking out the window, he didn't observe the expressions of the players, at this time, it was normal for any expression to appear, whether it was nervous, calm or calm.

Rivaldo's eyes were closed with his hands folded, and Cavinaghi kept looking out the window, rubbing his hands together to indicate that the young player was very nervous right now, and Rosicky was also very nervous - in fact, for the entire Dortmund fans, they lacked experience in the Champions League final.

However, listening to the heartfelt cheers of the Dortmund fans when they hit the bus, the hearts of the Dortmund players began to gradually calm down, this season they have done a lot of things that people thought they would not do before the season, and in the last game, all they have to do is to show all their strength and fighting spirit and play a game with no regrets!

'AC Milan's starting line-up was no different from what we expected. Marriner whispered suddenly.

Dick nodded slightly, before getting on the bus, they had already got AC Milan's start, which is not to be faked - unless AC Milan has an injury before the game, but this will also reduce the number of substitutions for them, and generally no manager would risk such a small trick.

Of course, AC Milan will now also get the starting lineup of Dortmund - in the face of this final, the managers on both sides invariably chose to be safe, Ancelotti sent a four-three-one-two lineup, the goalkeeper is Dida who has returned from a finger injury, the four defenders from right to left are Costacuta, Nesta, Maldini and Caradze, the midfield three Gattuso, Pirlo and Seedorf, Rui Costa is forward, the double forwards are Shepchenko and Inzaghi, and the bench is Abbiati and Roque? Júnior, Simic, Serginho, Ambrosini, Brockie and Tomasson, Dick sent a 4321 so-called Christmas tree formation, goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Ruit, Warnes, Metzeld, Dede, midfielders Kyle, Rosicky, Frijns, Rivaldo, Everton, striker Cavinaghi came forward alone, and on the bench were Weidenfeller, Alves, Ismael, Klinger, Okocha, Ricken and Olich.

On the bench, Dick chose a lot of offensive players, but in fact, these players, Dick does not intend to be used as a surprise player or anything in the game, this is just a deterrent, a way to confuse Ancelotti - Dick's starting lineup can be said to be mainly defensive counterattacks, and there are so many offensive players on the bench, which will make it easy for Ancelotti to think that Dick is preparing some killer moves in the second half, and AC Milan's attack will become more cautious......

And so it is.

Ancelotti frowned and looked up after the AC Milan players returned to the dressing room after the warm-up, Ancelotti had actually done a good job at Juventus in the previous two seasons, but lost the league title in the last round, and after arriving at AC Milan in the middle of last season, he gradually showed his ability.

'Dortmund fielded a defensive line-up for this game, but Everton's start showed that they wanted to win the game with a counter-attack...... We have to be careful, don't rush, don't give them any chance to fight back when we attack. You must know that Dick put a lot of attackers on the bench, basically except for Ismael, who is a pure defensive player, the other five substitutes have strong offensive power, maybe he is ready to drag us down first, and then use the attack to beat us for the rest of the time, we must not run around with them when we attack, understand? ”

When saying this, Ancelotti couldn't help but sigh a little, obviously it is AC Milan's good players who are far thicker than the bench, but now it seems that Dick seems to make his tactical scheduling more comfortable - there are so many offensive players on the bench, he can drag the AC Milan players in the game and let their physical fitness decline, especially if the physical strength of Milan's backline players declines, there is really no one to replace, and Ancelotti has not changed much in attack, It's nothing more than super substitute Tomasson and wide player Serginho, what about Dortmund? You can send Klinger and Rosicky to form a midfield duo, you can send Okocha to use his skills to create chances, you can send Olic and even Ricken who just beat Juventus at the Alp Stadium!

These players, but no one can let their guard down, and Ancelotti, who is cautious by nature, is unlikely to let his guard down.

Maybe there are many people in Italian football who despise Dick, thinking that he is a guy from a wild road, and he can't be compared with the profound tactical system of Italian football, but Ancelotti has never underestimated Dick, when he led Atletico Madrid last season, he killed Rome led by Capello in the group stage, and this season he killed Juventus led by Lippi in the semifinals, and if you go back further, he once eliminated Parma and Roma in the League Cup, which can be called the nemesis of Serie A!

For such a manager, it is impossible to say that there is no preparation for the final, and Ancelotti feels that he needs to be a little more careful.

While Carlo Ancelotti had a headache in the dressing room, Dick was confident in his dressing room......

"Guys, AC Milan are a very strong opponent and they have almost no flaws in their whole team, but that's where the beauty of football comes in, and that doesn't mean you can win without flaws...... Maybe we can't outscore them with goals in the back and forth, but we can keep them from scoring with our defense. ”

Speaking of which, Dick turned his head and drew a few points on the tactical board: "AC Milan's offensive routes are nothing more than these, Pirlo's scheduling, Costa's through pass, Seedorf's long-range shot, Inzaghi's grabbing points...... Also, Shepchenko's all-round appearance, both of their full-backs were not good at attacking in this game, which gave us more chances...... In the penalty area and at the front of the penalty area, we must defend, of course, we can't put on a rigid posture at the beginning, which will make their attack without worry, when there is a chance, Rosicky will organize, Frings can properly step forward to attack, the main attack is completed by the trident in the front court, if there is a chance, play directly behind, to play Everton's speed, this is our basic tactic, understand? ”

"Got it!"

The Dortmund players replied in unison that they had been training for a long time before the game - it could even be said that after the Champions Cup semi-finals, they began to train this seemingly positive defensive tactic, defend the AC Milan attack, kill time, don't give the opponent any chance, counterattack when they have the chance, don't rush if they don't have the chance, drag it until extra time, drag it until the penalty shootout - at that time, all the disadvantages of Dortmund will no longer exist!

Before this game, Dortmund had been practicing penalty shoot-outs for a week before the end of training, and Dick had done a lot in gathering intelligence, and now is the time to achieve such a goal!

Looking at the emotions of the players, Dick laughed, and he swept all the players in front of him with satisfaction - in the start of this game, only Ruit had won the Champions Cup, everyone else was blank in this regard, and old players like Rivaldo and Okocha chose to join Dortmund because of his promise to win the Champions Cup - this is when Dick fulfilled his promise.

There are many managers who promise this, but there are few who can do it, Dick does not want to be such a manager, he knows that he still has a long time to coach, and if he can do everything he promises, then the intangible assets will bring him great benefits.

It is easy not to promise, and if you promise, you must do it, such a person is trustworthy, and such a manager is worthy of the club's management and players to trust him!

"Alright, guys, get ready to go...... After this game, all of us will have the best days of our lives! Now let's drop everything and put our heart and soul into this game, and then after the game, this summer, we are proud to say to everyone that we are European champions! ”

"Let's go!" With a shout from Ruyt, the Dortmund players left the dressing room in high spirits for the final game of the season!
