"The second half is about to start! There were no substitutions between the two sides...... The score of the first half was 1-1, Dortmund had the advantage in attack, Arsenal took the lead through a counterattack, and the final result of this game needs to be observed, but the good news for both sides is that PSV Eindhoven has a 2-0 lead over Ousterre at home, if this score is maintained until the end, then even if this game is a draw, Arsenal and Dortmund will also get the right to qualify for the group in advance. γLatest chapter reading. γβ
"From what I know of Dick, he won't be satisfied with a draw, maybe he doesn't care if he's first or second in the group, but he definitely cares about beating Arsenal because Arsenal are the only team to beat Borussia Dortmund this season! He's going to find a way to beat Arsenal to make him happy, and for Borussia Dortmund it's a confidence boost to beat one or two big teams in Europe, which Dick is very important for. β
I have to say that this commentator is to the point, Dick's retributive personality can actually affect the mood of the players to a large extent - just as the characteristics of an army can be greatly affected by the character of the commander, the same is true of the team, Atletico Madrid has become a team that everyone fears under Dick, and Dick's characteristics of biting each other have a lot to do with it.
When Westpha-Lun's shout sounded again, the second half of the game officially began!
Arsenal, who took the lead in attacking, was stubbornly blocked by Dortmund in the midfield, although Alves's defensive ability is not good, but he can run, and his confrontation ability is not bad, plus the help of Frings and others, Dortmund's defense on this side has also begun to become quite tough, and Arsenal can only pass the ball to the other side to attack.
After withstanding Arsenal's attack after the opening, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack - this is also related to the tactical arrangement of the two sides, Arsenal has to play defensive counterattack, when Dortmund attacked, they began to take the initiative to defend in the half.
The ball passed to Rosicky's feet, the Czech began to observe the situation in the front, Rosicky is still very satisfied with the retreat of his position, his overall view and relatively excellent defensive ability make him perform quite well in this position, and in the lower position can allow him to get enough protection, and will not fall into the opponent's key defense at the first time.
Not every attacking midfielder with good technique and overall vision can be transformed into a back-to-back midfielder, but Dick has met two such players in a row, Belleron is a rare midfield core player in Spain, his physical fitness is weak, so Dick let him retreat from the position but let his performance take a leap, now in the national team he has squeezed out the position of Guardiola, and even suppressed Xavi, and Rosicky later joined Arsenal after also playing quite well in the midfield position, With such a precedent, Dick made such a change very logically - the actual effect is also quite good, Rosicky almost adapted to this change of position, and it is precisely because of his play in the back that Dortmund's full frontcourt attack combination can exert most of its strength in this situation.
And as time goes by, Dortmund's attack in the front will definitely become better and better, if not at the top level in Europe, at least in the Bundesliga and Bayern, it is not uncommon.
Under Rosicky's scheduling, Dortmund's attack began to become smoother and smoother, Alves almost became a winger, in the case of him occupying the side, Everton began to continue to complete the attack by cutting inside, and Frings was frequently inserted, and he launched a long shot when he had the opportunity, the attack on the right side was lively, and Dortmund's left side was more inclined to defense, but with Rivaldo on this side, Arsenal's Lauren definitely did not dare to attack forward without any concerns, Even Vieira's attention was basically drawn away by Rivaldo - even though he was thirty years old, Rivaldo's deterrent power was really there.
"That's what a superstar does...... At least even if it's just on the field, the opponent won't let up their defense against him. Dick laughed slightly, in fact, he doesn't like to use this tactic very much, but the team in Dortmund is not long enough, and he can only use this method to temporarily top, and Rivaldo's strength is still there, he is now Dortmund's most goalscoring player in all competitions, and he is a free transfer, giving him the highest salary, which is definitely a great value.
Cavinaghi kept running back and forth on the field, and he knew that he would definitely not be Campbell's opponent in confrontation, and even Sigan would outperform him in terms of strength - at this time, he deeply understood why Dick wanted him to learn how to run, and if he still played the same way he used to play, he might not even be able to grab a position in the penalty area under such pressure, let alone grab a shot.
Only if you can do well in terms of running can you survive well in the Europa League, where there is little room for movement and a lot of defensive pressure. In the Bundesliga, this feeling may not be very big, but after the Champions Cup, this feeling is very obvious, before in Highbury, Cavinaghi was completely defended by Arsenal's two central defenders without any chance, and the intensity of the European arena is still greater than that of the American arena.
When he saw Alves cut in from the right, Cavinaghi made a quick stop and turned, and then ran towards the left side of the box, Campbell ran after him, and only Sigan was left in the middle, but the very Gilberto Silva also quickly returned to the box, so that this gap would not become a gap.
Alves made a forced breakthrough to the bottom line, but quickly turned around and passed the ball back, as soon as Everton let go, Frings, who was inserted in the back row, immediately did not stop the ball and shot directly with his feet!
The ball flew into the Arsenal penalty area and was then blocked by Gilberto Silva with his body, and Cavinaghi was about to shoot first, but Campbell was the first to clear the ball.
"In the penalty area, even if you run, it doesn't seem like there are many chances."
Kavinaghi thought to himself, then he looked up at the field, and then he saw Dick make a gesture to him.
This gesture Kavinaghi sees it clearly - run more, pull out of the box and run!
Cavinaghi nodded slightly, his involvement just now did not make Arsenal's penalty area appear too many gaps, it is obvious that Arsenal attaches great importance to the defense in the penalty area, in this case, it is also a good practice to pull out the penalty area to create opportunities.
Dortmund is not short of heavy gunners, Frijns and Rivaldo are players with excellent long-range shooting ability, Dede and Rosicky's long-range shooting ability is also quite good, and Arsenal's goalkeeper Seaman often suffers from long-range shots and hanging shots, it is obvious that he has been humiliated by Rooney and Xiao Luo with hanging shots, as long as he can strengthen his long-range shooting, maybe he will have a chance.
In the following time, Dortmund's attack has changed to a certain extent, they no longer want to play in the box, but have the opportunity to immediately test He-Man's nerves with a long-range shot outside the box, although He-Man made two good saves in a row, but Arsenal's defenders know that their young goalkeeper may have a mistake at any time and pit everyone......
Therefore, Arsenal began to expand the scope of their defense, completing more blocks at the edge of the penalty area, interfering with the long-range shots of Dortmund players, so that their attack could not develop smoothly.
Dick quietly watched the defense of the Arsenal players, but gradually had a great grasp in his heart.
Arsenal's defense seems to be step-by-step, but in fact they have fallen into passivity, from the beginning, when they decided to use defense to play the half, they have been very passive, they are good at attacking and not defending, when their counterattack in Dortmund's targeted suppression failed to achieve any effect, they will definitely look passive in defense!
If they recycle their defense, then Borussia Dortmund will continue to threaten their goal with long-range shots, and when they expand their defensive area, Dortmund will complete the final attack through the players' breakthroughs!
Sixty-eighth minute.
Rosicky passed the ball to Cavinaghi who pulled out of the penalty area, when Cavinaghi took the ball, Rivaldo began to move to the middle, and Everton also began to cruise on the right side to involve Arsenal's defensive attention, in front of Cavinaghi who took the ball on the left side of the penalty area, there was only one Gilberto Silva left, he first made a feint to pass to Dede on the left side, after attracting Gilberto Silva's attention, he quickly pulled the ball back, and then dribbled the ball away from Gilberto Silva's side!
Although Cavinaghi rarely breaks with the ball, it doesn't mean that he can't break through with the ball, in fact, as an Argentine striker, his foot skills are also quite good!
After breaking through Gilberto Silva, Cavinaghi burst into the penalty area with the ball, Sigan hurriedly came from the side to block, but was accelerated by Cavinaghi again, in this hurry, Sigan was like a clumsy big bear, and was easily broken through by Cavinaji......
He-Man struck in time, but Kavinaghi stabbed the ball past He-Man's body before He-Man attacked, and then when he was about to rush up to catch up with the ball, he hit He-Man and fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded, penalty!
The Arsenal players began to appeal around the referee, but to no avail, the referee ruthlessly dispersed them and insisted on the penalty.
Rosicky took the penalty in one fell swoop, and Dortmund relied on a free kick and a penalty to overtake Arsenal after conceding a goal at home!
And this score is also the final score of this game! Borussia Dortmund defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home to qualify for the group one round earlier!
Arsenal lost the game, but they also qualified - because in the other game, Abroad suffered a 3-0 defeat at the feet of PSV Eindhoven, they are now on four points, PSV Eindhoven are five points, Arsenal have nine points, and they are ahead of the table with Borussia Dortmund on 10 points!
This result also made Dortmund fans very satisfied, and it seems that they can qualify early, which also means that they will get enough results in this season's Champions League.
