Dick once again brought a trophy to Dortmund's Hall of Fame.

The championship won by Dortmund this time made the media a little aesthetically fatigued, of course, this is also related to the fact that this Toyota Cup championship is not the first Toyota Cup championship won by Dortmund - at the end of 97, the Dortmund team defeated Brazil's Cruzeiro 2-0 and won the Toyota CupDortmund's victory this time brought the number of titles won by European and South American teams in the Toyota Cup to 12, exactly one draw.

Back in Germany, Borussia Dortmund continued their good form before the winter break – perhaps the back-to-back campaigns made them tired, but the next two league opponents were not strong teams, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Kaiserslautern are the traditional powerhouses of the Bundesliga, but now they are deep in the relegation zone, Dortmund beat their opponents cleanly 3-1, and with Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart gradually falling out, Dortmund rushed to second place with 38 points. Just one point behind first-placed Bremen!

Behind them are the three teams Bayern, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart, who also have 35 points, and the competition for the Bundesliga this season has begun to become more and more fierce.

After the 17th round of the league was played on December 20, the entire Dortmund squad was disbanded, but Dick could not immediately go on vacation because he also had to attend FIFA's annual awards ceremony and the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League......

As a result of this series of achievements, Dick once again deservedly became the best coach of the year – unlike the European Coach of the Season, which was only in Europe, but now it is worldwide!

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that there are no major tournaments this year, and if there are major tournaments, the coach of the year is mostly the head coach of the winning team, and FIFA will hardly change in this regard.

This year's world footballer of the year is Real Madrid superstar Zidane, Henry is second, Ronaldo is third, Dick also presented Zidane with the trophy as a guest of honor, although Zidane is very unhappy Dick, but in this kind of public occasion, Zidane has always been very polite, after smiling and shaking hands with Dick, Zidane took the trophy.

Won the World Footballer of the Year because he helped Real Madrid win the league title after a six-year absence, although Dortmund's results are also excellent, but they are mainly outstanding as a whole, not individually, Rivaldo is very important, but he did not play well from beginning to end, or in other words, Dortmund's brightest star is their manager.

This can be regarded as the sadness of the team coached by Dick, it is difficult for them to produce any absolute top superstars, because only Dick is the most important person in this team.

Participating in the award ceremony, Dick's mood was very good, but after participating in the Champions Cup knockout match draw, Dick's mood was not too good, this time the Champions Cup round of 16 can be described as a gathering of strong players, Dortmund won the second, except for AC Milan in the same group as them, the other seven group winners are not ordinary - whether it is England's top three Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, or Serie A's Juventus, La Liga's Real Madrid, and even Ligue 1's Lyon and Monaco, None of them are easy opponents to deal with.

Lyon and Monaco are relatively easy to deal with, but Dick doesn't think he'll have such good luck, with Real Madrid and Juventus both falling victim to last season's Dortmund triumph of the other five teams, and Dick thinks the knockout stage opponents will be one of these two teams.

However, UEFA has arranged another team for them - Arsene Wenger's Arsenal!

On the surface, Arsenal is a little easier to deal with than Real Madrid or Juventus, but Dick only smiled bitterly when he saw it - this season's Arsenal is unprecedentedly powerful - because this season is the season in which they set an unbeaten record!

What's more, Dortmund were able to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League this season, in addition to relying on their more secure tactics, one is that their fast and fast tactics have caused many teams a lot of headaches, as evidenced by the elimination of Ajax, but Arsenal ...... They're a Premier League team, are they still afraid to play fast?

As for the technical content of the midfield, Arsenal is also a little stronger than Dortmund, with Vieira, Pire and Ljungberg, plus a Gilbert Silva's Arsenal, the technical content of the midfield is definitely not worse than any top team.

The fast attack can't get the other side, the positional war can't grind the opponent, even if it is a defensive counterattack, Arsenal's current defensive counterattack ability is not bad, Campbell is not slow to turn, Toure has excellent physical fitness, although Cole and Lauren are attack-oriented, but the defense is not bad at all, and the current Cole is one-on-one so that the newly emerging Cristiano Ronaldo has no way to be strong!

If it is to play Juventus, Dick can still find a way to disrupt the battle and win in the chaos, if it is to play Real Madrid, Dick can also fight with them and try to drag each other down, although the chance of winning is not very big, but it is not without a chance, but against Arsenal...... Dick thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there really wasn't a good way......

It's just that the knockout round won't start until the end of February, and maybe there will be some changes at that time, and now is not the time for a headache.

'If you don't draw Arsenal, you will draw another group winner, so it's the same for us against any opponent, there is no difference. We're going to find a way to win, no one has the confidence to win before the game, we weren't sure last season, but we won the trophy in the end, football is unpredictable. Dick was interviewed by reporters as soon as he came out of the draw.

He knows that UEFA has exhausted its efforts this time, and the group stage is arranged in the group stage of the group of death, and the opponents in this knockout round can be said to have been carefully selected, but well, Dick will definitely not show weakness when he is interviewed, at least he will disgust them and make them worry for a few more months - isn't it just that I am afraid that I will defend the Champions Cup and make the Champions Cup seem much less competitive? Then I'll disgust you!

"Do you regret not being able to beat Ajax in the final round? After all, if they win against Ajax, Dortmund will rely on goal difference to become the top of the group, so the situation will be much better......" the reporter asked the second question.

Dick glanced at the other party: "Being able to qualify from the group is our greatest success, after all, at that time, we can't consume too much in the game." If you can use the most effortless way to get the right to qualify, why not? Now that we're going to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to compete in the Toyota Cup, tell me, do I choose to save some effort to compete for the Toyota Cup, or do I want to make the chances of winning the Toyota Cup less for the sake of the glimmer of hope? AC Milan will lose to Celta Vigo, but we have the only chance of topping the group! ”

The reporter was speechless, indeed, Dortmund had almost no hope of winning the group at that time, AC Milan did not determine the first place in the group, they will lose to Celta is indeed very likely, you must know that Celta has no chance to qualify at that time! However, this kind of small probability has happened, what can you blame Dick?

After leaving Switzerland, Dick flew straight to Milan, where he was to discuss the details of the contract with Moratti before starting his vacation.

What Dick didn't expect was that the reporters weren't alarmed when he went to Milan, because it wasn't news that Dick would go around during the winter break, so no one was following him, and they didn't expect him to go straight to Milan instead of going to a tourist destination. However, he did not go to Monaco, but he made a certain girl think that he had released the pigeons......

"Where did this guy go! Isn't it a vacation. Why not come to Monaco? ”

Charlotte was in the VIP room of the Casino de Monte-Carlo: "Didn't you really see him?" ”

"Miss, I've checked the entry list for the last few days, and there is no name for him at all...... He probably didn't come to Monaco, maybe somewhere else......" said one of his men with a bitter face.

Charlotte waved her hand, and the two subordinates escaped as if they had been amnestied, but Charlotte did not continue to be angry, but played with the amethyst bracelet on her wrist and laughed slightly.

"Aren't you going to come? Hmph, if you don't come, I'll go to Germany to find you! ”

Dick naturally didn't know that he came to Milan to negotiate the contract, which actually made the eldest lady start to be unhappy with himself - he didn't want to continue to go on vacation to Monaco and gamble with that cute little girl, but after all, the business was in front, and the contract was implemented, and then it was not too late to go to Monaco for a few days - a winter break of more than a month, and his vacation was more than 20 days, which was enough.

So after he landed at Milan Airport, he found a remote hotel to stay, and then called his two assistants, and the next thing is to wait to talk about the details of the contract, and sign the specific contract - only when this is determined, Dick's next work can be carried out - now Inter Milan has a lot of problems, not only the problem of buying people, but also the problem of selling people, the contract is determined, Dick can remotely command, and strive to determine a few players he is optimistic about, Then the clubs of the players to be purged also have to be counted so that the work can be carried out better next season.

When he came to Milan, it happened to be a traditional Christmas in the West, and Dick naturally didn't bother Moratti - and he was not in a hurry to take these few days, just these two days would also allow him to take a break, and at the same time sort out his thoughts, so that the next communication will be easier.

For Christmas, Dick has no feelings, after all, he is Chinese, there is no Christmas atmosphere since he was a child, even if he spends Christmas alone in the hotel, he does not feel lonely.

Two days later, Moratti finally ended his affair and secretly arrived at the hotel, accompanied by the club's vice-president, Facchetti.
