"We've done well before, but one thing to understand is that we haven't won any of the championships yet, and our current glory is based on an illusory background, not on the ground. 【Latest chapter reading. For example, our current castle is built on the beach, and maybe a wave will make what we have now come to naught. ”

"So, we have to use one victory at a time to strengthen the foundation, to build embankments to stop those waves, today's game, we must win, if we win, we will be only one step away from the Champions Cup knockout round! Lokomotiv Moscow they only have one point now, they have been out of the game in advance, they are at most for glory to fight with us, but our strength is better than them! Patience, show our strength, win this game, we are only a layer of window paper from the knockout final! ”

Before welcoming the locomotive of Moscow, Dick used such words to boost morale.

In fact, Dortmund's players are in good physical condition now, because in the first two rounds of the league, Dick used gradual rotation to maintain their condition and fitness, and the substitutes were also very competitive, the last round was to rely on the excellent performance of the substitutes to defeat the opponent, after the previous few sacrifices, Dortmund's overall strength began to gradually increase.

It's just that Lokomotiv Moscow has no chance of qualifying, and the last two games are indifferent to them, but their indifference is not the same as AC Milan's indifference, AC Milan has already qualified in advance, of course they have to stay for the next knockout round, and it is normal to send substitutes to play the last two rounds, and Lokomotiv Moscow can still fight for honor.

So ahead of this game, Dick wants to emphasize this point - strategically, Dortmund have the upper hand, but tactically, they don't have much advantage, at least if they can't win Lokomotiv Moscow, then they will face a worse situation......

The bad news for Dortmund is that they have two main players who are unavailable in this game, Warnes has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended, Rosicky sprained his ankle in training, Dick sent Klinger to replace Rosicky - the youngster once stole Rosicky's place in history, he is also a player who can organize from behind, it may be useless to face a top team like Real Madrid, but against Lokomotiv Moscow, as long as he can play normally, he is also a good choice.

Vaughans is suspended, the combination of central defenders naturally becomes Metzelder and Ismail, in terms of strength and confrontation, this combination is not as good as when Warnes is there, but in terms of flexibility is beyond a little, in the face of Lokomotiv Moscow, Dortmund is definitely going to attack aggressively, leaving two flexible central defenders on the field, which is also more beneficial to Dortmund's performance.

March 13, Westpha-Lun Stadium.

Amid the frantic shouts of 67,000 Dortmund fans, the Dortmund players took out - for this game, the Dortmund fans were extremely enthusiastic, because this was the last home game of the group stage for Dortmund, and their previous two home games were not good, losing 0-1 to AC Milan, drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid, and not winning at home in the second group stage......

If they don't perform well, it could be Borussia Dortmund's last home game in the Champions League this season.

The whole stadium was filled with the frantic shouts and uniform singing of Dortmund fans, but the players of Lokomotiv Moscow were not affected too much, with one draw and three losses in four games, they now have no psychological burden, and there is nothing to lose, all they want now is to show themselves well, even if they can't enter the knockout round, they must accumulate more experience, and hope to make a comeback next year - of course, whether they can make a comeback is still a question.

It's just that their personnel losses are even greater than Dortmund's, and captain Roscoff and defender Nikkrodov are both suspended, which makes their squad even more unbalanced.

"This game...... It was Dortmund's 150th European appearance...... Borussia Dortmund fans are expecting them to get the win of this game. Dick fielded most of the main players in this game, Cavinagirivardo Okocha front three were all on the field, Rossigene was unable to play due to injury, and the young player Klinger, who performed well in the last round of the league, appeared in the midfield position of the organization, and whether he can take on the role of Rosicky will be the key to this game...... With Warnes suspended, the captain's armband on Lehmann's arm and Alves and Dede on the wings, it proves that Dortmund will still be attack-oriented, can they win? Let's wait and see! ”

If this game is won, it has to be said that Dick has a very accurate grasp of the situation in the whole group, and he has not won any of the other three games, but he has the advantage of qualifying with two wins against Lokomotiv Moscow, which is the most effortless way to get the desired result. Although the process of promotion may seem a bit trembling, but considering that Dortmund are still being chased by Bayern in the league, you know that they must save some energy for the league, otherwise they will face a very dangerous situation! ”

In the voice of the commentator, Borussia Dortmund attacked from the start of the game, while Lokomotiv Moscow started to defend with all their hearts - they may not be looking to win a game, but if their performance can have an impact on the final group qualification, they will also leave a deep mark on this season's Champions League, and they want it really a little.

In the seventh minute, Cavinaghi created a good chance when he chested off the ball after receiving a long ball from Frings on the edge of the box, and then suddenly turned and struck a shot of very high quality that grazed the crossbar and flew off the bottom line.

The shot sent a cheer from the stands, but it didn't take a turn for Dortmund's luck to turn sour, and after a scramble he sprained his ankle, he returned to the pitch after treatment, but it was clear that his injury was not getting better......

Seeing that Dede could not support him on the field, Dick chose to make a substitution, and Madoni replaced Dede as a versatile player in the backfield, he is a more comprehensive defender, but it seems a little average in attack, and Dortmund's attack began to lean more towards the right side.

Okocha began to get plenty of chances when Alves got involved in the front of the box and Frings in the back, as he volleyed high in the 14th minute and a dangerous shot saved by the goalkeeper a minute later.

Under Dortmund's fierce attack, Lokomotiv Moscow began to shrink their defense, and almost all of them defended in the penalty area, constantly bearing Dortmund's indiscriminate bombardment.

In the face of such a defense, Dortmund did not have a good solution, they were not afraid of this in the past because they had a high school striker Kohler, but now they don't - this also makes Dick a little regretful, if he didn't worry about money, he wouldn't let Jankohler go, but now, there are only other ways to make up for this shortcoming.

Because the opposition attack was not threatening, Dortmund's players can be described as taking turns, including Kele, who sacrificed his attacking ability to defend at the back most of the time - the resolute player almost opened the scoring for Dortmund in the 32nd minute, he stepped forward and received a cross from Rivaldo and fired a powerful shot, the ball hit the inside of the post, and then rolled on the goal line, and the Lokomotiv Moscow defender took the first kick before he could scare his soul and cleared the ball on the goal line!

Missing this goal made sighs in the stands, but after all, it will not have much effect to hold on, in the 39th minute, Rivaldo created a corner kick, Klinger drove the corner kick into the penalty area, the Lokomotiv defender's header cleared, the ball flew out of the penalty area, but the follow-up Frings did not stop the ball and volleyed directly, the ball went straight into the corner of the goal, and Dortmund finally opened the scoring!

When the goal was scored, all the Dortmund fans jumped out of their seats, knowing that with this goal, Dortmund would only score more and more goals in the following games!

And so it is.

In the 58th minute of the game, Madoni stepped forward to assist, received a cross after Rivaldo's ball, the ball fell to the back point, and the follow-up Alves passed the ball into the penalty area again, and Cavinaghi who was inserted in the penalty area appeared beautifully at the landing point of the ball, and volleyed directly ten meters away from the goal, and the ball went into the net twice!

It was Cavinagy's seventh goal in the Champions League this season, and after an initial period of adaptation, Cavinaghi has become a very important scoring point for Borussia Dortmund, and his fame is skyrocketing, with the market estimated that his value has risen from 5 million euros to 12 million euros, and because of his age, he will actually be worth a lot more......

In the 66th minute, Rivaldo also showed his superstar ability, after receiving a direct pass from Klinger, he took the ball and turned quickly, and then extended Dortmund's lead to 3-0 with his trademark long-range shot close to the ground, completely sealing the victory of the game!

After taking a three-goal lead, Dick began to make substitutions, Ricken, Everton, and Demer were substituted one after another, and Dortmund also maintained the lead until the end, leaving only one step away from qualifying from the group!

When the final whistle blew, Westpha-Lun roared with a huge cheer as they reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in four years, and if they could pick up a point at the San Siro, they would be able to qualify!

Despite the news from the other stadium that Real Madrid finally stopped their eight-game winless run in the Champions League at home, Raul's brace and Guti's goal gave them a 3-1 home win over AC Milan, but they now only have six points, and Dortmund's points have reached eight, and they have firmly occupied the match point of the entire group!

At this point, Dortmund fans don't care if they finish first or second in the group, they are convinced that when Dortmund reach the knockout rounds, no team will be able to stop them!
