The final result of this game was 3-2, Dortmund Delik League Cup champion Hertha Berlin, won the first victory of the season, such a ups and downs victory also made Dortmund fans feel very enjoyable - they were not naïve enough to Dick to continue to bring big wins, in fact, Dick, the head coach, led the team to win a very high rate, in the two years of Atletico Madrid, his winning rate exceeded 65%, and the probability of undefeated exceeded 90%, but his games have rarely been a big win. To win, Dortmund fans are satisfied. [Full text reading. 】

'I'm happy to win this game, but Dortmund still have a long way to go. We went a lot of people in the summer, a lot of people came, and now Dortmund can only be considered a temporary combination. But I have confidence in my players that they will get through this quickly. Keeping the home win record against Hertha Berlin? Well, it's a good result, but I don't care about that record, I care about winning some heavyweight titles. If you can't win the championship, this kind of record is meaningless no matter how long it is kept, and such a record is only meaningful at the moment when it is turned out in the pile of old papers, and it is not usually remembered at all. ”

Dick was very optimistic at the post-match Wenbu meeting, and he even discussed some tactical details with reporters, and when the Wenbo meeting was over, he seemed to be unable to finish saying: "I'm glad to be able to discuss some tactical details with people normally, because this kind of discussion doesn't reveal any secrets, but it will make me better." It's the same with Dortmund, we need more nourishment to grow. ”

"A manager who really loves football."

After the game, the media commented on Dick, Dick seemed to have smoothly integrated into the entire German football circle, although he seemed pompous compared to the down-to-earth Germans, but in all kinds of serious things, he was able to resonate with the Germans - unlike the previous doubts in Atletico Madrid, when he came to the Bundesliga, because of the fame he had just gained and the current situation of German football, he got off to an extremely perfect start!

However, Dick is very clear - all this is of course due to the environment, and a big factor is that he does have real skills, no matter what means, he can lead the team to win, which is the biggest reason for being recognized by the German football community - the Germans are actually very proud, in this case, if they start to flutter now, once the results fall, those serious German journalists will still criticize Dick mercilessly, just like they did after the League Cup defeat, And there is no good way to counter this criticism, because they are sure to be convinced......

It's motivation, but it's also pressure.

However, the good thing about the Bundesliga is that their schedule is very relaxed, Dick looked at the schedule, the league only has one double game a week, such a schedule gives the team enough time to adjust - especially in the opening stage, Dick can let the main team play all the time to increase their level of cooperation, and will not make them overworked.

After a week's rest, Borussia Dortmund face a second round of fixtures, which will be against last season's league runners-up Bayer Leverkusen, who will take on an away opponent after last season's Champions League final.

Bayer Leverkusen's recent form seems to have been poor, and after being eliminated in the Carabao Cup, they were also held to a 1-1 draw away from promoted Makebus in the first round, and despite a goal scored by Simak Smirk, who is considered Ballack's successor, Bayer Leverkusen have not been able to win, and the only consolation is that Bayern have not won either, drawing 0-0 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Dick also attaches great importance to this game, although Warnes is injured and recovered, but for the sake of insurance, Dick still did not send him to play, Kyle's injury is not yet healed, and Dick sent the lineup at Bayer Athletic Stadium is exactly the same as the lineup at home in the first round.

Bayer Leverkusen sent their strongest lineup, Bout guarded the gate, joined Juan and Lucio to partner in the central defenders, on both sides were Sebetzen and Plasente, midfielders Simak and Ramirau partnered in the middle, Schneider and Basturk appeared on the wings, and the forward partners were Berbatov and Neuville, and more than 20,000 Bayer Leverkusen fans at Bayer Arena kept shouting, hoping that their team could avenge their home game!

And their manager Topmüller accepted the award of last season's best coach in the Bundesliga before the start of the game, which was also a stimulus for Bayer Leverkusen, who were held to a draw in the first round and naturally did not want to win again in the second round, after all, this is their home stadium!

In the first half of the game, Schneider crossed after a series of breakthroughs on the side, Berbatov grabbed the first drop in the penalty area and passed the ball out, Present, who inserted the assist, tackled in the penalty area to help Leverkusen open the scoring, this conceded goal exposed the Dortmund midfielder's lack of protection of the front of the penalty area, this conceded goal is the same as the second goal conceded in the last round of the league, in the case of staring at the opposing striker, but let go of the player inserted in the opponent's back row, although Demer showed hard work, But his strength is limited after all......

Dick didn't care too much about this, he didn't plan to make Demel the main force, after all, he is still young, Kyle is the main candidate in his mind, and when Kyle recovers from injury, Dortmund will not easily concede such a goal.

After taking the lead, Leverkusen continued to attack, but Simak did not get many chances under the defense of Rosicky and Demer, plus it is impossible to replace the role of Ballack, Leverkusen's most threatening attacking player is their veteran Schneider, under the pressure of his wing, Dede has to pay more attention to defense, making Rivaldo a little lonely.

Dortmund looked a little passive on the pitch, but they still equalised shortly after the start of the second half, Rosicky sent a beautiful diagonal pass from the edge of the box, Okocha who was inserted into the box received the ball and crossed with his feet, Kavinagi used his agility to get in front of Juan and flick his head in the small box, the ball flew directly into the goal of Bayer Leverkusen, and Dortmund equalised.

After the goal, Cavinaghi looked very excited, he celebrated wildly, and Dick also slapped encouragement off the field - but he knew that this goal did not prove that Cavinaghi had adapted to the current tactics, after all, in this attack, Cavinaghi played his role in River Plate, running in the penalty area, and then grabbing points - but he did not fight hard with the opponent's central defender but shook off Juan through running, which is still quite good, At the very least, it proves that he understands that he doesn't have much of an advantage in terms of physicality against these defenders who play in the Bundesliga, even if Lucio and Juan are Brazilian.

The final score was a 1-1 draw, Bayer Leverkusen did not lose at home, but a point away from home was acceptable for Dortmund, Dick admitted after the game that the team did not work together very well, but "we are improving every game", and Topmueller looked a little frustrated, believing that they were punished by the relaxation in the second half.

A week later, Borussia Dortmund returned to host Stuttgart – Stuttgart is not the youth team that will make a whirlwind in the future, they are now only a mid-table team in the Bundesliga, while Dortmund have two main players returning from injury, Warnes returned to the main squad to partner Ismael in central defence, Metzelder was on the bench, and Kehl also returned from injury to form a back three with Frings and Rosicky.

Such a lineup seems to immediately show great power!

After the stalemate in the first half, in the 39th minute, Ruit, who had the assist, received a direct pass from Okocha and then crossed with his feet, and Rivaldo at the back post stabbed the goal for the team, and in the 67th minute, Rivaldo created a free kick, he pretended to be the penalty but pushed the ball out, and Dede, who was inserted in the back row, met the ball with a powerful shot, and the ball flew straight into the corner of the goal, Dortmund extended the lead.

Although Kyle brought down Kuranyi in the box ten minutes later, Dundee pulled back a point from the penalty, but in the 87th minute, the two substitutes completed a beautiful combination, Alves drove straight into the right and crossed after the breakthrough, and the follow-up Everton header rubbed off, the ball flew into the corner of the goal, 3-1, Dortmund won the game!

"It's great to see our team get better and better, and it was a pretty good win. Conceding a goal in every game? Yes, we still have a bit of a problem defensively, but that's because we focus on attack. I'm not going to give up on defending, and it's going to take time for our defence, and if the offense gets better, the pressure on the defence will be lessened. Borussia Dortmund have a lot of good players and it's very difficult to find a squad from these players because everyone is so good. We will have a long training camp ahead and this will be crucial for us because we will face the double challenge of the league and the Champions Cup! That's when we test the depth of our bench, but I'm not worried because we have plenty of players. ”

Dick looked confident at the post-match meeting, but others couldn't find anything wrong, two wins and one draw in three games, tied for third with Bayern, although the top two Bochum and Rostock have won three consecutive victories, but they are weak after all, Dortmund and Bayern competition will continue, and Dortmund's offense in these three games is getting more and more beautiful, whether it is the individual ability shown by the players or the overall cooperation is constantly improving, it is obvious, Dick's positional attack in Dortmund still has a considerable advantage in the Bundesliga, and the opponents in the first three rounds are very good, but Dortmund can still achieve such results, with the form they are showing now, they will only get better and better!

For Dick and Borussia Dortmund, the real test will be after the first round of the German Cup and the national team at the end of the month, and then the fourth round and the start of the Champions Cup, which will be the real test for Dortmund!

Dick understands this, so despite the good results in the league now, he still keeps the team training and fighting for the next big game!
