“gooooooooooal！ goal！ The ball is in! Amazing hanging shot! The goal was scored by a name that has been forgotten for a long time - Russ? Rickon! The player who made a name for himself with the same lob shot seven years ago has been much quieter in the past seven years, but seven years later, against the same opponent, he has once again reached the glory of his career! He used to be called an eternal rookie, but now at the age of twenty-seven, he proves that he is still the same person he was seven years ago! ”

"Russ? Rickon! Another nightmare for Juventus! No one could have imagined that Juventus would be planted under the feet of the same man in seven years! Borussia Dortmund made it four on aggregate, but they now have two goals on the road! This puts them one step away from qualifying! Juventus, with their steely defence, were unable to stop Dortmund's attack at the last moment! Borussia Dortmund are about to reach the final! ”

After scoring such a wonderful and important goal, Rickon's expressionless face was filled with ecstasy, and he rushed straight to the sidelines, took off his shirt and hung it on the corner cue, and then raised the flagpole high to announce his presence at the Alp Stadium!

At the time of his debut, he was considered a banner figure in Dortmund, debuted at the age of seventeen, and won the Champions Cup at the age of twenty, but in the following period he did not improve much, and began to be reduced to a substitute in Dortmund, but at this time, Ricken never thought of leaving Dortmund, and now, he finally ushered in this most glorious moment!

At this time, countless Dortmund fans shed tears of excitement, and they have no doubt that Ricken at this time will become an important factor in Dortmund's championship as he did seven years ago!

This is important for them, because Ricken is a player developed by Dortmund themselves, a symbol of Dortmund, and his feelings for Ricken are the same as the feelings of Atletico Madrid fans for Torres - except that Torres has shown his quality this season, and Ricken's performances have not lived up to expectations for the past seven years.

"Forever Rookie"

This is what many media said when they satirized Ricken, but at this moment, they remembered that seven years ago, at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, when they saw the hopeful Juventus launch a flood of onslaught, that handsome young man made Juventus, who was invincible in the world at that time, fall to the ground with a hanging shot like a flying fairy in the sky!

When Ricken held his shirt aloft, the entire Alp Stadium was only filled with the cheers of the Dortmund fans.

Dick knelt on his knees, raised his head to the sky and shouted, at this moment, he had never had such a strong self-confidence, he firmly believed that the current Dortmund was absolutely unbeatable!

Compared with last season's strength in the Champions Cup, this season's Champions Cup journey to Dortmund can be called a journey of trembling on thin ice, maybe only Dick knows how much he has paid in the Champions Cup, but even he, at the beginning, was not sure whether Dortmund could impact the championship in such a difficult situation, but after the appearance of this goal, he began to have absolute confidence, firmly believing that Dortmund will be able to win the Champions Cup!

This goal brought Juventus to the brink of collapse, Lippi made one last substitution, Di Vaio came on for Montero, and Juventus wanted to fight until the last minute.

And Dick also made the last substitution, Ismael replaced Kavinagh, Dortmund began to recover in full force, only three minutes of stoppage time, and after these few minutes, they can advance to the final!

The miracle did not happen.

Despite Juventus' late comebacks, they were unable to break through the Dortmund defence, and when referee Meyer blew the whistle for the end of the match, Dick and his players began to celebrate and shout wildly at the Alp Stadium!

As soon as the whistle blew, Dick and all the Dortmund players who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time had already rushed into the stadium, and then began their celebrations in the stadium, and the Juventus fans in the stands began to choose to leave the stadium one after another, leaving only hundreds of Dortmund fans from afar in the stands cheering continuously......

2-3, 4-4 on aggregate, relying on the advantage of scoring one more goal away, Dortmund eliminated Juventus with difficulty and reached the final of the Champions Cup for the second time in history!

Dick became the first coach in history to lead two different teams to the final two years in a row, and if he can win the next final, then he will be the first manager to lead two different teams to win the Champions Cup two years in a row!

Dick didn't think about this at this time, he knew that there were still three races, and only if the expected results were achieved in these three races, he would be considered a success this season - before the championship arrived, all glory was nothing, only the real championship was the real honor!

After more than twenty minutes of frantic celebrations, Dick calmed down, and then beckoned his players to get ready to go back to the dressing room to change their clothes - how many games did they have to play......

"There is nothing to be ashamed of relying on the rules to advance, the rules are made to be followed...... If the next four goals hadn't come and there had been only 12 minutes of the game, it would have been Juventus who would have progressed, and we would have had no complaints. Luck? Maybe we are really lucky, but in addition to luck, we still need to have strength, our four goals are the hard work and courage of our players, and Juventus have three goals formed by direct long passes, isn't this considered luck? Now it's us in the final, it's going to be at Old Trafford, that's the result! ”

Dick resumed his usual arrogance in the post-match press conference and showed confidence as a winner, which naturally made Juventus very, very dissatisfied, but Dick was qualified to complete such a difficult promotion with the team's strength and bench depth at a disadvantage.

Under the hateful gaze of half of Turin, Dick led his team back to Germany, there are still two rounds left in the league, and before the Champions Cup final, all he has to do is lead the team to win the league championship first, and then attack the Champions Cup!

Dortmund, who returned to Germany, was welcomed by the fans, and the German media praised Dortmund's excellent performance this season, and in the case of double-front battles, such a performance is comparable to Bayern, which has been extremely strong in those three years, and what is even more commendable is that in terms of overall strength, Dortmund does not have any advantages, and it can achieve such a result, which is enough to push Dick's reputation to a peak again!

"Young Dick, the future is bright! There are only a handful of managers who have been successful in both leagues, not to mention that he has been able to continue to win in Europe, which is the third consecutive year that he has reached the final of European competitions since he started officially coaching the professional team! It's enough to put most managers to shame...... Dortmund's achievements this season are truly jaw-dropping! With three games remaining, let's see if they can produce their best season in history, or fall at the last minute, like Bayer Leverkusen last season? ”

After returning to Dortmund, Dick announced a day off to let the players relax their nerves, and now lead by three points, which makes it difficult for Dortmund to win the championship in one round in advance, but the opponents in the last two rounds are not very good teams, the opponent in the 33rd round Kaiserslautern is now ranked in the middle of the table, and there is no desire, and the opponent in the last round is Cottage, which has been relegated in advance, and they will probably not have any fighting spirit to compete with Dortmund......

'We're going to have four points to win the title, so on the road we're aiming for a draw, you get it?'

Dick said very bluntly to all the players that the last round of the Bundesliga will be played on May 24, and the final will be on May 29.

It doesn't matter how many points you win in the end, as long as you win the championship.

On 17 May, Borussia Dortmund take on Kaiserslautern away!

From this day, you can see how bad this is for Dortmund, two days ago just played a life-and-death battle away from home, and two days later there will be a league game, and Dortmund has no way to apply for the postponement of this game, and now it is the last two rounds, all the games must be played at the same time, even if Dortmund wins glory in the European arena, they must abide by such rules in the country.

Dortmund has no opinion on such an arrangement, firstly, because the Germans will do it seriously once they have set the rules, and secondly, because Bayern has also played like this before, and there is no preferential treatment, Dortmund naturally does not want to be too vulnerable and weak in front of the sworn enemy.

On the road, Dick sent a substitute line-up, all but a few players started, all of them were substitutes, goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Ruyter, Madonny, Vaugnes, Ismael, midfielders Demeer, Klinger, Frijns, attacking midfielders Ricken and Everton, and striker Olich.

From the beginning of the game, Dortmund, who had just played a wonderful game away from home, was a turtle with a shrunken head in this away game, they continued to defend in their own half, protecting their doors by running and clearing, the main attack was the front three, constantly using counterattacks to reduce the pressure brought by the opponent's attack - their goal is very clear, we are here for a point, anyway, as long as the home team wins in the last round, we can win the league championship!

Dick said from the beginning that it was enough to get a point away from home, which made Dortmund's players not have any psychological pressure because of Bayern's victory in this round, as long as they still have a point advantage, then this point will be a trench for Bayern!

In the end, Borussia Dortmund managed to get the point they wanted away from home, and in the other game, Bayern Munich beat 2-1 at home to Stuttgart to close the gap to a point, but with the final round of the league remaining, Dortmund still have the advantage now - they only need to beat the relegated Ivbus at home to be enough!

Dick took their previous five-point lead to the extreme...... They have won two and drawn two in the last four league games, which happens to be one point ahead of Bayern...... But we can also understand that in the case of fighting on two fronts, it is the best result to be able to win the final championship......"
