Aragonés frowned, Dortmund's defense will be so solid, which is beyond his expectations, but Dortmund will concentrate on defense at home, this is nothing incomprehensible, it is very important for the home team not to concede goals in the two-legged game, and Dick has never been a manager who values face more than results, of course he knows how good Atletico Madrid's attack is, and it is simply suicide not to pay attention to defense at this time. [Full text reading. 】

It's just that Aragonés was relieved after thinking about it, there is nothing to worry about, after all, Dortmund can't be like those mid-tier teams in La Liga for a point, Aragonés admitted that Atletico Madrid's strong offensive ability has dropped a lot this season, resulting in too many draws in the league, but how can Dortmund keep sticking? No matter how obscene Dick is, he won't want to take a 0-0 score at home and then try to win away from home.

Dortmund on the field launched a counterattack, their pass was much more concise, Rosicky passed the ball to Frins, and then chose to cut forward, Frings immediately passed the ball to his feet, Rivaldo and Okocha began to run in front of the court to draw the attention of the other party, Rosicky chose to dribble forward himself, he is also a player with excellent ball ability, and a good long shot.

After cutting forward, Rosicky passed the ball to Dede, who cut in on the left, and Dede took the ball towards the middle, while Rivaldo switched to the wing, which caused a moment of confusion in Atletico's defence, and in a hurry Makelele brought down Dede, Dortmund won a free-kick.

The free-kick from 30 yards was taken by Rivaldo, who whipped a free-kick into the corner of the net and Molina made a fine save to take it off in the air.

Rivaldo shook his head, the free-kick had good speed and power angles, but Molina was clearly familiar with him and prepared, and when he was prepared, he still saved his own shot well.

Atletico Madrid wanted to quickly launch a counterattack, but Dortmund launched a press in the midfield, Rivaldo and Okocha put down the star's shelf, and began to constantly interfere with Belleron's ball by pressing, after one less person in the midfield, Belleron's organizational threat actually declined, although he is more mature than before, but when the protection around him is not as good as before, his ability to organize back and forth layer by layer is difficult to play.

Of course, Aragonés can see this, Belleron's performance on the field this season is a little lower than last season, and this is not because his personal ability has declined, but because Atletico's current formation is not enough for him to play at his highest level, the most important thing for Atletico this season is a few attackers in the front, and Belleron's organization is not as important as last season.

In this game, Dortmund looked very targeted in defense, the two fullbacks also paid attention to the defense in addition to assists, Dede against Jorgensen, Alves against Vicente, they are not inferior to Atletico Madrid's two wingers in terms of speed and reaction, even if it affects the number of assists they have, it will be of great benefit to the defense.

After a moment of entanglement in midfield, Torres forced a breakthrough to complete a shot, but this shot only allowed Lehmann to make a relatively easy save, after all, it was not so easy for Torres to shoot under the interference of the defenders.

Borussia Dortmund started to attack steadily, they were not in a hurry to attack, and they were not worried about Atletico's return - Dick never wanted to win the game at home or use the attack to win the game, and not conceding fewer goals was the first goal.

Atletico Madrid's defensive problems, Dick is very clear, the Atletico Madrid defense he established before did not have too many weaknesses, but with the departure of Thuram and Baraja, Atletico Madrid is more offensive to make up for the lack of defense, whether it is the right or the middle, there will be a lot of offensive opportunities.

After playing to the front, Dortmund made a posture to attack the right side, but suddenly Rosicky formed a transfer and quickly passed the ball to the left side of Atletico Madrid!

Capdevilla is a pretty good fullback, but Vicente's defensive ability on this side is almost equal to zero, and with the decline in the ability to fill in the middle, there will also be a lot of opportunities on the offensive side!

Okocha received the ball and made a beautiful pass, Capdevilla was forced to foul Okocha and Dortmund won another free-kick, this time closer to goal, but at a much worse angle, and seemed more suitable for a cross than a direct shot.

Rivaldo walked up again, he stood in front of the ball, and his action made all the Atletico players mumble - Rivaldo's free-kicks were really good, but he always only shot from free-kicks, and he never passed the ball from free-kicks at all - in Barcelona, it was Figo's first, then Xavi's, and he just shot straight at goal.

Does he want to shoot from such a small angle? It's not impossible......

Molina focused his attention on Rivaldo, and when Rivaldo started to run, he concentrated his full attention, and sure enough, in the next moment, Rivaldo picked up his left foot and shot directly from a tight angle on the right side of the penalty area!

The shot flew into the box against the inside of the wall and flew straight to the goal - but there were too many people in the box at this time, and Moreno, who was back on the defensive, made a down-to-earth tackle and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.

Molina yelled at Moreno with some dissatisfaction, because he was already in a good position, and if he was allowed to pounce, he would not give a corner, and he would not have to defend next.

Moreno waved his hand indifferently - wasn't it just a corner? What's all the fuss about......

He is not a player brought out by Dick, so naturally I don't know how jealous the Atletico players are of Dick's set-piece tactics - when he was at Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid repeatedly used some unexpected set-piece tactics to achieve good results, and maybe Dortmund will have such a set-piece match when they will have it!

Because of the combination of two set-pieces in a row, Dortmund's two central defenders have rushed up, Warnes and Metzelder are running in the box, plus Kyle and Cavinagh, there are Rivaldo and Frings wandering outside the box, and basically only two full-backs are left who are still defending at the back.

For set-pieces, Dick did put a lot of effort into it, in this kind of water-milled game, set-pieces will be a good means of scoring, and in terms of overall and individual ability, Dortmund does not have much advantage in the face of Atletico Madrid, the only advantage is that they have an advantage in the air!

The four men in the box are all headers, and the two heavy gunners outside the box are Dortmund's advantage, but what about Atletico's defense? Stam is the most reliable, Marchena is still a little shorter, Makelele is tough defensively, but too short, and the two full-backs don't have much excellent aerial ball defense, Dortmund has an absolute advantage in this regard.

With an advantage, you have to use those advantages to take out the opponent - that's the tone of Dick's game, set-pieces, air passes, these are all things he wants to show in this game, when the opponent attacks, you don't mind fouls, when you attack yourself, you have to tempt the opponent to foul.

If you want to defeat the Sheet Army created by Dick, even Dick himself feels very difficult!

Dortmund's players are looking for opportunities in the penalty area, Metzeld took the initiative to find Stam, Stam naturally knows that this young tall central defender is trying to entangle himself, after all, he is the highest point in the Atletico Madrid penalty area, if he is entangled, let Warnes and others bully Marchena, then the probability of scoring is much greater......

So he kept up with Warnes, who was a bit shorter than Metzelder but had a better bouncing and counter-attacking ability, and he was a player to focus on.

Atletico's defensive quality has declined, but since last year's Champions League defeat by Newcastle's Ameoby, they have maintained a record of not conceding a goal in all four group games since the New Year, and have been able to keep a clean sheet for more than 400 minutes.

Rosicky stood in front of the ball, then looked at the situation in the box, and after the referee blew the whistle to take the penalty, he took two steps back, then started to run, and then raised his foot to pass the ball into the box!

The ball spun and flew into the penalty area, past Capdevilla and Kyle at the front point, over the middle and straight to the back post!

Stam came back to his senses at this time, Vaughans in the middle was just a front, but Metzelde, who had taken the initiative to entangle him like a cannon fodder character before, had already run to the back point when he was not paying attention, and jumped high against the flying ball!

Defending at the back post was Conte - the poor Romanian was crushed behind by Metzelde, who was in a good position and had an absolute advantage in height, and after jumping to the top point, Metzelder didn't flick his head directly at the goal, but headed the ball towards the middle!

Then he started to hit the ground, and the ball he pushed past flew in front of Cavinaji, who dodged the Marchena defence through a lateral run, and Cavinaghi got straight to the side and shot straight at the goal!

Molina burst out of goal with open arms and a timely dash of his open arms to block Cavinagh's barbed shot, but he couldn't save the ball at close range, hitting him in the chest and slashing diagonally towards the back post......

At the back point, Metzelde, who had just landed, had not yet reacted, and saw the ball rolling towards him, as a player's subconscious action, Metzelde faced the ball directly with a volley, and the ball flew directly into the empty goal the next moment!

The ball is in! Atletico's record of not conceding a goal is frozen at this moment!

In the eighteenth minute of the first half, relying on the first goal of young central defender Metzelder in the Champions Cup, Dortmund led Atletico Madrid at home, and scored first in the two-legged encounter!

When Dortmund's players pounced on Metzeld from all sides, the young German centre-back was still a little dizzy – he had scored? Scored in the knockout rounds of the Champions League? Borussia Dortmund returned to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in four years, scoring their first knockout goal in four years?

That's a ...... It's wonderful!
