Aragonés' self-confidence, in fact, came in large part from the foundation that Dick had laid two years earlier. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

This is also the reason why Dick can see at a glance why Aragonés will choose to do this - Aragonés believes that his team can not make any mistakes in such a back and forth attack, they cooperate tacitly, the technique at their feet is excellent, even if the pace of the attack is faster, there will not be too many problems, although the four main players left this summer, but now their overall strength has not decreased much - although Dick has only been in charge for more than two years, However, the legacy he left behind and the self-confidence accumulated in the past two years have made Atletico Madrid's foundation very thick, and it is not something that Hill Jr. can toss in a year or two.

In the next game, the two sides continued to play fast, Dortmund itself defended well, they did not give each other too many chances, and Atletico Madrid also achieved the top level in the transition between attack and defense, although they will be attacked by the opponent, but there are no mistakes!

No mistakes don't mean they won't concede, but if a team doesn't make any mistakes in the transition, then they are much less likely to concede.

Atletico dominated possession more, while Borussia Dortmund's defence looked solid, with both sides creating a number of chances, however......

In the ninth minute, Torres passed the ball and Jorgensen fired over the crossbar from distance.

In the fourteenth minute, Bellerón crossed to the edge of the penalty area, Torres received the ball and barely turned to shoot, which was collected by Lehmann.

In the fifteenth minute, Frings cut off Marchena's pass in midfield and distributed the ball to Rivaldo, who turned and passed the ball to Cavinagh, who forced his way through Coloccini's defense and shot first in the box, Molina fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his legs.

In the 20th minute, Alves brought down Vicente and received the first yellow card of the game, and Belleron's free-kick was driven into the box, and Ismael took the lead to clear the ball.

In the twenty-first minute, Vicente broke through again, this time he was put down by Warnes, and Warnes also received a yellow card, which will cause him to miss the first leg of the semi-finals, Dick couldn't help but shake his head, Dortmund has no outstanding strength in the Champions Cup this season, and in addition to Dick's tactical teammates, the fighting spirit of the players is also a factor. Fortunately, Dortmund at the back is well-manned, and the three top central defenders are basically enough.

In the 25th minute, Rivaldo's long-range shot created a corner, Rosicky took a corner, Cavinaghi nodded the ball in front, and Ismael at the back post could not be able to relay under the defense of Stamm, and the ball flew off the line.

"Sure enough...... Aragonés won't watch us hit them with set-pieces, if you want to score in this game, you still have to rely on the ground attack......" Dick shook his head slightly, after suffering in the defense of set-pieces in the first leg, Atletico Madrid quickly responded, after all, they have a stamm, this game sent Coloccini, plus Marchena, in terms of the number and height of the defense, it has not suffered.

'Thankfully, I didn't expect to score from set-pieces in this game.' Dick thought to himself, touching his chin.

The attack and defense of the two sides on the field continued, in the thirtieth minute, Belleron's free kick bypassed the human wall but flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar, four minutes later, Olic burst into the box to pass, Stam broke the ball in the middle of the ball The ball seemed to hit his arm, the referee did not blow the penalty, Stam immediately kicked the ball.

In the fortieth minute of the game, the attacking tempo of both sides began to slow down, and the previous forty minutes of both sides were constantly attacking back and forth, and at this time they began to feel fatigued, and the commentators had a chance to make their own comments.

'We didn't score, but it was a good first half.

"Yes, when I had time to look at my watch, I realized that forty minutes had passed so quickly."

'The pace and quality of the attack on both sides was very high, and if it weren't for the top quality of the goalkeeper and the backline on both sides, it would not have been possible to go without goals in the first half...... Atletico dominated possession, Dortmund were very defensively focused, and although they were not very quick on the counter-attack, the combination of several people up front always managed to get some chances...... Such a struggle could be detrimental to Borussia Dortmund, as neither side seems to have been able to create decisive chances. ”

"There is also the second half of the game, the performance of the players on both sides cannot be sustained forever, with the ability of both sides to create chances, as long as the defending side misses a little, maybe it will form a goal, as long as there is a goal, the whole game will become intense!"

While the commentators were still wondering what would happen in the second half, Dortmund created a chance in the 42nd minute and took advantage of a corner kick that Cavinaghi headed in from six yards in front of the goal!

Molina subconsciously made a wonderful save, he hit the ball out with one hand, which made the fans of Atletico Madrid cheer loudly while their hearts were racing, Molina's save made them feel more excited!

In stoppage time, Atletico also created a pretty good chance, Vicente took the ball and suddenly cut inside, shook off Alves' defense and burst into the box, and then fired a low shot into the far corner, Lehmann also made a beautiful save, he quickly fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one palm!

'It was a great chance for both sides before the end of the first half! However, neither Molina nor Lehmann were able to find the back of the net thanks to their brilliant performances...... Both goalkeepers were substitute goalkeepers in their respective national teams, but when Kahn and Casillas were already in the knockout stages of the Champions League, they both showed their top level! ”

Molina and Lehmann played to keep the first half at 0-0, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, fans on both sides sighed with some regret - in their opinion, their teams should be able to take the lead......

Dick and Aragonés met at the players' tunnel, and instead of speaking, they looked at each other before entering the tunnel.

"Don't worry, guys." Dick and Aragonés both used this as their opening remark in the dressing room, but the next words of the two sides were very different.

'If we keep attacking like this, we'll have chances, all we have to do is take advantage of those chances and keep attacking like we did in the first half, don't worry too much, if Atletico slow down the pace of the attack, then we'll put more pressure on them in midfield!' Dick said to the Borussia Dortmund players.

"Pay attention to the ball and attack boldly if you have the chance! We can't expect to be 0-0 and qualify, Dirk is a manager you know better than I am, and he's always going to give you a killer blow where it feels impossible! What we have to do is to take the initiative in our hands and establish our own advantages! Do you understand? Aragonés said to the Atletico players.

Aragonés didn't think about ending the game 0-0, he knew that with Dick's tactical arrangement, it was not too difficult to score a goal away from home, so he never felt that a 1-1 draw away was an advantage, but the key was how to score more goals at home than the opponent, and Dortmund's stable performance in the first half also made Aragonés feel that Dick did not have a little impatience, and it was probably impossible to expect to delay time and then let the opponent rush and expose more gaps in the backfield.

Then attack, if you tear apart the opponent's defense with your attack, then no matter how calm Dick is, Dortmund must press up and attack!

Aragonés' vision, two minutes into the second half, almost became a reality!

Belleron still passed the ball beautifully to Torres who pulled out of the penalty area, and under the fierce close pressing of Ismael who defended outside the penalty area, Torres still controlled the ball at his feet, and then suddenly got up and passed straight!

Jorgensen, who was diagonally inserted on the right side, received a pass from Torres, and in the face of the oncoming Warnes, he first made a sideways dribbling feint, but after attracting Warnes's attention, he quickly slammed his feet and rushed past Warnes!

Warnes subconsciously planned to foul, but because there was already a yellow card, Warnes hesitated, Jorgensen rushed over with the ball, and faced goalkeeper Lehmann with a single knife!

Lehmann attacked, spread his arms, and Jorgensen quickly curled a left-footed curling shot into the far corner!

Lehmann struggled to stretch his arm but couldn't touch the ball, and just as the Atletico fans were about to cheer, the ball narrowly bypassed the far post and flew off the line!

"Atletico missed a great opportunity! Jorgensen's solo shot was almost on the verge of finding the back of the net, but it was just a little bit short...... Atletico Madrid's luck is so bad! ”

"Dortmund escaped! If that goal goes in, then then Borussia will be in a bit of trouble...... Now they will breathe a sigh of relief...... However, if this continues, the situation will still be against Dortmund, and they will have to strengthen their attack. ”

After being taken aback by the attack, the Dortmund players quickly calmed down – thanks to the mentality that Dick has always instilled, that is, we are not afraid to concede goals, the key is to score!

And against Atletico Madrid, Dortmund's players also have a competitive mentality - after all, Atletico Madrid is Dick's predecessor...... The incumbent always wants to show his abilities in front of his predecessor.

Lehmann took the goal kick and Alves received it, at which point the Atletico players regretted not being able to score just now, so that he easily dribbled the ball into the midfield, and it was only then that Vicente came to defend him.

Alves still had some advantage in terms of strength, and he began to accelerate to force his way through Vicente's defense.

After rushing past, Alves did not continue to carry the ball, his small skills are not very good, if there is space he can rush quickly, but in this case, he cannot dribble the ball too far.

Rosicky came up at this point, and Alves immediately opted for a cross, Rosicky controlled the ball at his feet, and then began to dribble forward himself - his forward cut caught the attention of Marchena and Makelele, and then he passed the ball to Rivaldo, who came from the left.

Rivaldo stopped the ball at his feet, by this time Olic had already swam to the right to respond, Cavinaghi was in the middle of the penalty area, on the left, Dede was cutting in at high speed, at this moment, Dortmund's attacking combination began to attract the attention of the Atletico defense in various directions!
