Dortmund once again played Juventus at home and then away – all of which made Dortmund look a bit unfavourable, playing at home and then away, while the two main players of Frings and Warnes were unavailable at home......

"The future may be difficult, but we are destined to find the fragrance of flowers among the thorns. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

Dick dragged a sentence at the pre-match press conference: "The game is at this point, no one will give up, no one is absolutely sure that they can achieve the final victory, what we have to do is to move forward step by step, and work hard towards the goal." There are definitely difficulties, but the game has reached this point, it doesn't matter what the difficulty is, everyone has difficulties, we try to do our best in every game, that's enough, as for the final result, it's not for us to evaluate. ”

In fact, most people agree with this statement - although Dick's words are complete nonsense, when Juventus arrived at Dortmund, the tension in the Champions League semi-finals had already begun.

Juventus and Borussia Dortmund had only met once before in the Champions League, but for Juventus, that encounter was something they will never forget - in their prime, when they were the defending champions, when the whole of Europe thought they would have no problem winning, Dortmund gave them a slap in the face, Riddle kicked two overheads in a row after the opening, and after Piero pulled a point, Dortmund, who saw hope, was completely crushed by Riken's superb goal. After achieving Dortmund's most glorious season, it also gave Juventus endless regrets.

That Juventus team can be called the strongest Juventus, three finals in three years, almost unparalleled dominance, but was defeated by Dortmund and Real Madrid in a disadvantaged situation, so that the current Champions Cup is still only twice, which has always made Juventus haunted.

That final also changed the fate of many people, for example, Vieri was previously seen as the best successor to Vialli, but his performance in the final was quite average, so he was sold to Atletico Madrid immediately after the season......

Now they meet Dortmund in the semi-finals and it is a good chance for them to get their revenge.

The last time he led the team to defeat to Dortmund, it was their current manager Lippi, Dortmund changed many times after that year, but Juventus only changed twice, the first time was Lippi was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, and then Lippi was restored.

"I don't want to talk about it seven years ago, it was completely different then and now. Juventus' goal this season is to win the trophy, Juventus is stronger now than Juventus was seven years ago, and I have a lot of confidence that we will win the Champions Cup. ”

Lippi appeared confident in the pre-match interview, playing away first and then at home, the schedule is in their favor, although they also have Montero and Tacinadi two players suspended, but they are never short of people in the central defender position, in the midfield position, Tacinadi has a lot of people to use after the suspension, without Montero, they still have Ferrara, Iuliano, Thuram, without Tacchinadi, they also have Davies, Tudor ......

Juventus, which has strong financial resources, is indeed much stronger than Dortmund, which is tight, in terms of overall thickness, after all, in order to save expenses and obtain funds, Dick sold some players who are not in the plan, but are still useful as part of the whole, such as Kohler, Evanelson, Heinrich and other players are good substitutes and even players who can be the main player, but in order to save salary expenses, Dick still sold them.

Dick didn't plan to play any tricks on the substitutions in this game - in fact, he couldn't play if he wanted to, and with so many people on hand, the small commander on the field could better determine the outcome of the game.

When the day of May 7 came, Dick fielded such a line-up at home.

Goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Alves, Dede, Metzeld and Ismail, the midfield three midfielders are Kele, Rosicky and Ruite, Rivaldo and Okocha are two forwards, and Cavinaghi is one to break forward.

Lippi's starting line-up, however, seemed to have much leeway.

Goalkeepers Gianluigi Buffon and Thuram appeared at right-back, Billindeli at left-back, Ferrara and Iuliano at centre-back, Davies and Tudor at midfield, Zambrotta on the right, Nedved on the left, Piero and Trezeguet up front, and Camoranesi on the bench.

"It's good to have money, let Thuram play right-back, Camoranesi on the bench, it's really a nouveau riche."

Dick couldn't help but sigh in his heart, living a tight life in Dortmund, Dick almost forgot how he spent money at Atletico Madrid.

It's just that in the face of Lippi, Dick still hopes to be able to teach the other party a lesson at home, if the home team can find a way to win, it will be much easier to play away, the subtle changes between home and away, Dick must grasp, in the case of strength and no advantage, seize every opportunity to defeat the opponent, no matter what way it appears, it doesn't matter!

The match was once again packed-out, with hundreds of Juventus fans coming to Germany to watch the game, but they were completely drowned out by the shouts of the Dortmund fans.

Such a home advantage, of course, needs to go all out to attack, use the attack to try to suppress the opponent, don't get entangled with the opponent in the midfield, quickly hit the front, and then constantly use the attack to put pressure on the opponent's defense.

Dick is not worried about the opponent's quick counter-attack, Trezeguet is a striker who needs support, Piero is not particularly good at the moment, the only thing to pay attention to in the opposing midfield is Nedved, and the Czechs play a very big role in the quick attack.

From the very beginning of the game, Dortmund immediately launched a ferocious attack!

After passing back and forth, Ruit passed the ball to Alves, who cut in on the right, and Alves took two steps forward with the ball, and saw that no one was coming up to defend him, and decisively shot directly from 28 meters from the goal.

The power of this long-range shot was great, but the angle was a little worse, and the ball flew directly out of the bottom line and hit the billboard hard.

"Borussia Dortmund had an attack from the start! This long-range shot is very powerful, and the angle is a little bit worse...... However, with an attack in the opener, it seems that Dortmund will try to take the initiative at home as much as possible, but will their defense be reassuring without Warnes and Frijns? ”

Seeing that Dortmund had an attack at the beginning, Lippi was stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed his facial expression - if Dortmund wants to win the game with attack at home, then he doesn't mind letting Dortmund know what a defensive counterattack is!

Dick looked at the field quietly, attacking is a must, but he doesn't feel that there will be any problems with his defense - now he is worried about whether Dortmund's attack is capable of tearing apart Juventus' defense.

Juventus' defense is not without its shortcomings, Thuram went to the right side, which makes Dick happy, Ferrara and Iuliano are both powerful defenders, but they lack some in terms of overall strength, and if the opportunity is grasped well, the possibility of scoring is still very large.

Soon, Dortmund created another good chance, this time by the two full-backs, Alves received Rosicky's ball and crossed directly, Dede, who followed at the back post, passed the ball to the goal again, Cavinaghi failed to touch the ball under the pressure of Iuliano, and the ball rolled off the line.

In the seventh minute, Dortmund created another chance when Cavinaghi managed to turn and shoot after receiving a pass from Okocha from a tight angle, but Buffon fell to the ground to confiscate the ball.

Dortmund created more chances, but it was clear that Juventus' attack seemed to be more efficient.

In the eighth minute, Zambrotta, who switched to the left side, crossed with his feet, Ismael's interception was wrong, and he was not able to touch the ball, and Trezeguet, who was heel in the back row, appeared in the camera lens, and directly volleyed into the flying ball!

When the Dortmund fans screamed, Dede came in time to make up for it, he used his body to block Trezeguet's shot, and the ball changed direction and flew off the bottom line, a corner.

Juventus' corner kick didn't create many chances, Ismael tangled Tudor, Metzelder grabbed the header in front of Trezeguet, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack, Kyle handed the ball to Rivaldo, Rivaldo was brought down by Davies when he turned and broke through, Dortmund won a free kick, Dede took the ball high.

"Juventus are solid defensively, Dortmund have had a lot of shots so far, but only one time has hit the woodwork, and it is not a dangerous attack...... Their interception in the midfield protected the back line very well, making it difficult for Dortmund to play into the penalty area, and if the attack continues, Dortmund's situation is a little bad! ”

"Borussia Dortmund also did a good job of defending the opposition on the counter-attack, and their midfield interceptions were excellent......

Not long after the commentator's words were finished, Thuram, who had inserted the assist, made a long pass directly into the penalty area in midfield, Trezeguet received the ball and turned to shoot, and the supplementary Metzelder interfered, and Lehmann flew to press the ball under him.

"Hmm...... Juventus's counter-attacking threat is still very big, Trezeguet's movement is very smart, and he can always appear at the landing point of long passes, and Dortmund's defenders can't make any mistakes, which is a very big test for Ismael and Metzeld, they can not make mistakes, so then Borussia Temund has to have a dozen. ”

Dick shook his head slightly, then made a downward gesture on the field.

Take your time, control the midfield and then apply pressure - don't forget that we have one more midfielder, the opponent only has one Davies who can run, Zambrotta and Nedved are more in the midfield to run and interfere, Tudor is tall, the running ability is a little worse, we are fully able to use technology against each other - a little less technical than Atletico Madrid, but against Juventus's midfield, our advantage is still obvious!
