"CCTV, CCTV, now we are at the Westpha-Lun Stadium in Dortmund, Germany, to broadcast this 2002-2003 Bundesliga 29th round of the focus of the match, against the home team Dortmund and the away team Bayern! Before this game, the two teams were in first and second place, Dortmund was first with 65 points, and Bayern was second with 63 points, and the strength of the two sides can be described as very close! If Borussia Dortmund can beat Bayern, they will have a lead of five points, giving them an absolute advantage with only five league games remaining! If Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund on the road, they will surpass Dortmund and complete the double against Dortmund in the league this season! Such a game is naturally extremely attractive, Dortmund has home advantage, but they are going to play the second leg of the Champions Cup knockout round away in four days, which will involve part of their energy, Bayern can participate in this game without distraction, so whether it is in terms of strength or schedule, the two sides are basically on the same running line, what do you think? ”
"Well, now we have a very good understanding of the situation on both sides, as you just said, when it comes to the strength and performance of this season, the two sides are actually about the same, Dortmund has an advantage at home, but they also need to pay attention to the next Champions Cup, Bayern has no such concerns, the result of this game may be five or five, if it is a draw, it will also have a certain advantage for Dortmund, now it depends on the head coach of Dortmund, what Dick thinks, if he decides to keep the league first, Will give their all in this game, in short, the command of the managers of both sides in this game is a key. [Full text reading. Heathfield is Germany's best manager in the past decade, and he can be called Germany's champion coach, and Dick's coaching record in the past few years is also brilliant, and the role of the head coach is very big for the team. Historically, this has not been very good for Borussia Dortmund, as they have not won against Bayern in seven seasons, the last time they beat Bayern was in 1995, when Dortmund's manager happened to be Heathfield, and they have not won against Bayern since then, although they won the league title last season, they also lost two games against Bayern, and this season they also lost to Bayern on the road. It's just that Dick is a very record-breaking manager, when he was in charge of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid also did not win a game against Real Madrid in six seasons, and as a result, Atletico Madrid has not lost to Real Madrid in the league and Champions League since he took office, and what kind of tactics he will arrange is crucial. ”
"Well, Bayern's injury situation was more serious before, and the main midfielders such as Jeremes, Hargreaves and Ballack were all injured, but they were all back from injury before this game, which is good news for Heathfield, the only loss of personnel is Robert? Kovacs is suspended, Ghanaian Kufuor will take his place, Dortmund is the loss of young central defender Metzeld, he has some minor injuries in training, in order to insurance period did not enter the squad, Warnes will partner with Ismail, which is not too much loss for Dortmund, itself Metzel and Ismail are taking turns, recently Metzeld is in good shape to become more of the main force, Ismail's strength is actually not bad. ”
'Now we have the starting line-up for both sides...... Dortmund sent the same four-five as they are used to, goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Alves, Dede, Vaughans and Ismael, midfielders Kyle, Frings and Rosicky, two attacking midfielders are Rivaldo and Okocha, Cavinaghi is a man who rushes forward, this is the main lineup that Dortmund is used to this season, Bayern sent a four-four-two, goalkeeper Kahn, the two wings of the back line are Sagnol and Lizarazu two Frenchmen, and the central defender is Kufuor and the old defender Thomas? Link, midfielders Jeremies and Ballack in the middle, flanked by Hargreaves and Ze Roberto, Sauer on the bench and Deisler out through injury. The attacking partners are Elber and Pizarro. ”
"There was a very interesting thing before the game, that is, the goalkeepers of both sides had a war of words in the newspapers, Lehmann and Kahn are rivals in the German national team, but Lehmann has been suppressed by Kahn, and it is normal to have resentment in his heart...... In an interview, Lehmann said that he is the best goalkeeper, Kahn said that I am the main player in the national team, and Elber sarcastically said to Lehmann: 'Yes, Lehmann is the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, but Kahn is the best goalkeeper in the world, let alone the national team. At this time, Dick naturally wanted to come out to protect his players, and his words were enough to damage: 'If I were Elber, I wouldn't have said the last word, and this kind of thing should be taboo for Elber, shouldn't it?' ’”
Speaking of this, the two commentators laughed at the same time, I have to say that Dick's words are really revealing Elber's scars, and what's even worse is that Elber, like Jadel, was considered to be powerful, but two top strikers who were incompatible with the Brazilian national team, and under the leadership of Dick, Jadel successfully caught up with the national team after winning the Champions Cup, and also scored in the last game of the group stage, and won the World Cup with the national team, while Elber didn't get anything, How does this make Elber embarrassed......
In fact, it can be seen from this conversation that the battle for giants in the Bundesliga has already begun to splash around, the two sides have never said anything good, and the senior management on both sides is also fighting a war of words, Nepom said, "We can lead Bayern in the league without spending any money." Hoeness retorted: "You all won the championship when you spent a lot of money. Zorc came out and said: "Then let's see how we can win the championship with half the salary of Bayern and still play the Champions Cup." ”
From the management to the coaches to the players, both sides are engaged in a war of words, which makes this game even more exciting.
In the case of all the attention, the players on both sides have already stood on the field, the referee in charge of officiating this game is Merck, this referee is notoriously strict in the Bundesliga, and there are quite a lot of cards, and there is also a point that he has recently officiated three Dortmund vs Bayern games, and Dortmund has lost all three - which is also an advantage for Bayern.
Before the start of the game, Dick did not talk about any problems about the referee, he knew in his heart that the Bundesliga is actually very fair in terms of refereeing, since the referee is strict, then don't make too many moves in the game, and the Bundesliga's law enforcement environment is relatively relaxed as a whole, because the Bundesliga is quite a lot of physical confrontation, in this case, it is very necessary to grasp a degree.
What Dick didn't expect, however, was that it wasn't just him who thought – and Heathfield noticed it – Merck had given a total of ten yellow cards in the Dortmund and Bayern matches, and Bayern had suffered a lot of losses even though they had won, and he was also very aware of the current situation.
After the start of the game, unlike the hot situation before the game, the two sides appeared to be quite cautious on the field, more entangled in the midfield, and the two sides were also very attentive in defense, and did not give the opposing striker any chance.
Compared with Bayern this season, Dortmund seems to use more local players, but like Bayern, their attackers are basically South American players, Elber has broken Dortmund's door six times since joining Bayern, he is Dortmund's most important player to focus on, and Dortmund's players have not broken through Bayern's door many times, and Bayern has scored only one goal, which also makes Dortmund look very careful in attack.
After nearly seven or eight minutes of entanglement, Hargreaves suddenly began to dribble forward after receiving a pass from Ballack, getting rid of Kyle and Frings in succession, and then took a long shot from the edge of the box, but his shot eventually skimmed the crossbar due to interference from Kyle and Frijns.
This attack seems to have lit the fuse of this game.
Dortmund immediately launched a counterattack, Alves threw a free kick from the side, Okocha received the ball and suddenly crossed while turning, Cavinaghi who rushed to the front post shook his head with his back to the goal, and Keil, who followed up at the back point, met the ball fifteen meters from the goal, and the ball hit the outside of the post and flew out of the bottom line!
"It's a shame that Kyle's header came close to scoring and Kyle looked very sorry!"
Kyle is really sorry, he scratched his head, and then ran back, after he became famous in Freiburg, Bayern and Dortmund both extended an olive branch to him, but he did not choose the well-deserved Bundesliga hegemony Bayern, but willingly joined Dortmund - because Kyle is an ambitious player, he does not want to go to Bayern to win the championship more easily, but wants to challenge Bayern in Dortmund - to some extent he succeeded, Halfway through last season, he joined Borussia Dortmund and went on to win the league title with the team......
However, the loss to Bayern Munich last season made Kyle feel a little uncomfortable, and he has not yet proved that his choice was completely correct.
So at this time, he was a little regretful about the goal he conceded.
Like him, there is also a Frings who wants to prove himself in this game.
Frings is also an ambitious player, from Bremen to Dortmund is an improvement, but showing his ability in front of Bayern is also what Frings desires, not to mention that he knows that his biggest rival in the national team must be Ballack, if he suppresses Ballack with his performance in the face of Bayern, it may be a heavy bargaining chip for him to compete for the main force in the national team!
Even if you can't suppress Ballack, you have to match him in terms of importance, and playing this position at Dortmund makes Frings confident about it.
Like Kyle, Frings was one of the exceptionally good performers in this game.
In the seventeenth minute, Frings found an opportunity after a forward cut, Okocha passed the ball out of the first place, and Frings followed up and shot a dangerous long-range shot before Ballack interfered!
As the ball approached goal, Kahn swooped in and narrowly lifted the ball over the crossbar with his trademark save!
Lyman, who had seen this scene from afar, snorted, and then tightened his gloves.
This game is an all-round competition.
