When Celta came to Dortmund with the whole team, they also had a huge amount of confidence.

Although this is the first time in their history that they have entered the Champions League, it is precisely because they are new that they also have unlimited courage to face the defending champions in their first game, which makes them think that they will use this game to defeat the defending champions who are no longer the heroes of last year, and gain great prestige and confidence.

Although they lost South African striker McCarthy in the transfer market in the summer, the arrival of Yugoslav striker Slobodan Milosevic has made up for it, and they are not afraid of so-called technical players, and they are also a rare type of fierce team in La Liga.

"It's because they're fierce...... That's why I'm not worried about losing to them at all. Dick smiled and said to the players: "The best thing we can do right now is running and fighting, and in that regard, La Liga teams only deserve to give us shoes!" Crush them with speed and power! They want to play defensive counter-attacks, so let them know that against us, defense is not enough! ”

His words were said in the dressing room, because before that he had already got Celta's starting lineup, the opponent was 541 - the goalkeeper was the local goalkeeper Pinto, and he was also the guy who would whistle for a long time at Barcelona, Velasco and Juan Fran, the two substitute fullbacks of the Spanish national team, on the wings, Sergio, Contreras and Beriso as the three central defenders, Ignacio and Wagner at the back, and Jeris and Gustavo López as the two attacking midfielders. Milosevic bursts forward.

Celta was able to finish fourth in La Liga last season, and they also have a group of outstanding players, Velasco and Juanfran are regulars in the Spanish national team, although they are not the main players, but they can always occupy a place on the bench, Beriso and Contreras are former Argentina internationals and current Chile internationals respectively, Sergio is a powerful La Liga central defender, Ignacio is a former Spain international, Wagner is a long-time player in La Liga, and he also has a record of appearances in the Brazilian national team. Khris is Celta's veteran main player, Lopes has more than 30 appearances in the Argentine national team, and Milosevic is the main center forward of the Yugoslav national team.

On the bench were the declining Catania, Brazilian striker Edu, the elderly former Russian Tsar Mostovoy, and the French youth team member Lucin...... It is indeed not a fluke to be able to have such results.

Dick wasn't worried that he wouldn't win the game – Celta may be good, but counter-attacking Dortmund would leave them passive throughout the game, and Celta are used to the kind of La Liga-level defense that would be in a passive situation in Dortmund's quick passes......

Arshavin was a little regretful when he came on the field, because he didn't see the opponent's Mostovo, when he was a child, Mostovo was already the main player of the Russian national team, and now he has come to the top five leagues and has come to the Champions Cup, while Mostovo is thirty-four years old and cannot secure his main position in Celta......

This kind of thinking makes Arshavin feel a little regretful, but it does not prevent him from performing better on the field.

Celta were looking to knock out the inexperienced Borussia Dortmund on the counter-attack on the road, but the momentum and physicality of the inexperienced youngsters were not something they had anticipated.

Their impression of Dortmund's season has been stuck in the Super Cup's stubborn defence and slight disorganization up front, and in this respect, Celta's intelligence gathering has been quite inadequate – there are a variety of situations for a Champions League newcomer to adapt to – but it is not known if the price they paid this time will be made up for in the future.

Dortmund started sprinting and scrambling from the beginning of the game, Celta is known for its ferocity in La Liga, but in terms of physical confrontation, they still have a certain gap compared with Dortmund's group of midfielders who are quite physical, Kyle is 1.88 meters, Klinger also has 1.82 meters, plus Borowski who is more than 1.9 meters, Dortmund's midfielders are a group of giants in front of Celta midfielders.

Although Gomez is young, he is constantly playing physical battles with Celta Vigo defenders in the box, and in such confrontations, the dexterity of Olic and Arshavin plays a huge role.

Arshavin continued to cooperate with Alves on the right side, and the two of them continued to attack the left side guarded by Juanfran, who is also a good player in La Liga, but under the impact of these two people, he still seems to be a little stretched.

Arshavin and Olic were in fine form after not playing at the weekend, as the two of them continued to challenge Celta's defence, and despite Celta's three centre-backs in the box, they were at an absolute disadvantage on the flanks.

In the 24th minute, Arshavin and Alves continued to pass on the side, Arshavin burst into the penalty area with the ball, and when the opposing defender came up to block, he passed the ball behind him with his heel, and the follow-up Alves vigorously passed the ball to the middle, Gomez let go, and the follow-up Olic shot directly at the back point, and the ball flew into the near corner of the goal, 1-0!

This goal made the Dortmund fans let out a huge cheer, Celta tried to counterattack in such a disadvantage, but their attack effect was not very good, Dortmund's midfield run made it a little difficult to attack, Milosevic although constantly looking for a place to grab points in the penalty area, but could not get an effective cross, Celta's wing was completely suppressed by Dortmund's running, and when they pressed out, the gap behind them was always caught by Dortmund......

Before the end of the first half, Dortmund played a beautiful counterattack, Borowski passed to Arshavin after the ball broke in the midfield, Arshavin directly transferred the long pass, and Olic on the left side unloaded the ball in the run, passed Sergio's defense, and then slashed into the penalty area, and when Pinto attacked, he decisively pushed into the far corner, and the ball went into the net twice!

The two-goal lead in the first half made the Dortmund fans ecstatic, even if it was only the first game of the group stage, and they were extremely happy to get off to such a good start at home!

"Well done! In the second half, we have to play like this, and completely break them! Don't underestimate Celta, they have a reputation for their tenacity in La Liga, and it would be a mistake to think we would win by two goals...... Don't forget that this is the Champions Cup and any team will give their best in a competition like this! Let's not forget how we managed to win the Champions Cup last season in a difficult situation, but it was more due to the indomitable spirit we showed in the competition! If we didn't have this spirit, we would have been eliminated in the group stage! Others will have such a fighting spirit, don't be someone else's background! ”

Dick soon showed his wealth of experience in the Champions League in front of the young Borussia Dortmund players.

Celta were not discouraged by two goals in the second half, they quickly counter-attacked, and scored their first Champions League goal five minutes into the second half - Juanfran passed the ball to Milosevic in the box, Milosevic quickly passed the ball over, a beautiful one-two, Juanfran smashed into the Dortmund box, and then calmly pushed the far corner to pull a point back!

This goal made the Dortmund players vigilant, and they began to realize that Dick's words were not wrong, there are indeed no weak teams in the Champions Cup, not to mention that they are still facing the opponent of the group of death known as the biggest Champions League this season!

This emotion made them tense up again and began to want to fight back to determine the victory, but at this time, they once again paid the price for their youth.

Gomez was looking for opportunities to score from the beginning of the game, but he didn't have many chances in the box, which made the young German striker a little depressed, and the small actions of the Celta defenders also made his anger gradually gather up, and finally, when the game reached the 64th minute, after being brought down by the opposing defender Beriso on the sideline, he picked up the ball and smashed it at the opponent - this action naturally made him get a red card without the slightest luck!

When the Booy of the Dortmund fans rang out from the stands, Gomez came to his senses and realized what he had done – he gave the referee a dumb look at the red card, and then he lowered his head and walked off the pitch......

He didn't know what Dick was going to do with him, he just knew that the yellow card he got at this time would be very bad, and if the opponent pulled back a point, he let Dortmund play with one less man, if the good lead was lost because of him...... What would Dick do?

Dick wasn't polite to him, he greeted Gomez as he stepped off the court, and slapped him on the neck: "Hell, Mario, you're making my preparations start again...... Go back to the dressing room and think about why you made such a mistake! ”

Gomez was a little stunned, he was not surprised that Dick beat him and scolded him, but Dick's tone - except that he hated iron and steel, he really didn't mean anything else......

"What do you see? Don't go back to the locker room? If you don't leave, I'm really going to clean you up! Dick was about to hit again, and Gomez immediately shrunk his neck and ran back to the locker room......

Looking at Gomez's back, Dick shook his head helplessly, could it be that the guy named Mario has some problems in his brain? The former German "Super Mario" Basler is also a guy with a problematic head, and the future god Mario Balotelli also has a brain problem, and this Mario is not a fuel-efficient lamp......

"Now Dortmund has one less man to fight, and the situation is very serious! What's next for Dick? ”

"Shit, the situation is grim!" Dick spat at the ground, then yelled at the field, "Keep it up!" Olich, you go to the middle lane! Turn to the defense and counterattack, lure them to press up, and then take them out with speed! ”

He is not worried that his team will lose the game, and Celta's defenders also lack pace, although they will soon replace Mostovoy in the hope of strengthening the attack, but in this case, the gap in their backfield will be larger, even if Gomez is gone, Dortmund is more likely to extend the lead through counterattacks!
