During the halftime break, Heathfield could only prepare to inspire the fighting spirit of Bayern players and let them fight for Bayern's glory - as for tactical details and personnel allocation, he had no choice but to cook without a meal. No matter how skillful Heathfield was, he needed enough personnel to use it.

During the halftime break, Jose emphasized that he should better control the midfield in the second half and slightly shrink the defense to reduce the pressure on the defense line - he did not choose to substitution, as substitutions at this time will easily give Bayern a chance to breathe.

After the start of the second half, although Bayern played very hard, their offense was always restrained by the counterattacks of Mallorca's offensive players. Under this restraint, Bayern's offense also seemed fragmented. Although Heathfield replaced the young Jung, forwards Pizarro and Santa Cruz, they still could not create any opportunities.

Twenty minutes later in the second half, Jose, who felt that Bayern had no counterattack power, replaced Silva and Iniesta with Senna and Sissoko. Mallorca began to defend. When Silva and Iniesta came off, Bayern's defense was much less pressure, and they could launch an attack with confidence, but Mallorca's midfield defense ability rose by two levels compared to before...

The experienced Senna ran back and forth and blocked horizontally, and the young Sissoko rushed up and down to interfere with Bayern's attack. After these two men came on the court, Mallorca's midfield had an extremely solid barrier, leaving Bayern's attack helpless...

In the second half, Bayern's players performed very tenaciously, but they still could not recover their disadvantages. When the referee's final whistle sounded, Mallorca defeated Bayern 2-0 away, advanced with a score of 4-2 in two rounds, and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League for five consecutive years!

When this result came out, Spain was a little excited. Mallorca was already the only one in La Liga in the quarterfinals. If they were eliminated by Bayern, it would be the first time in eight years that the La Liga team had no team to enter the semi-finals! You should know that the last time no La Liga team entered the semi-finals was traced back to the 98-99 season when the Champions League was not expanded. That season, Barcelona died in the group stage, and Real Madrid was eliminated from the semi-finals by Dynamo Kiev in the quarterfinals...

When Mallorca was tied by Bayern in the first leg, the Spanish media were worried because La Liga is the first league now and has already thrown its old opponent Serie A far away, but the Premier League has already risen strongly. In the past, they won a Champions League, and several teams have entered the quarterfinals and even the semi-finals every year. The results in the League Cup have also begun to threaten La Liga. If the opponent is accidentally snatched the Champions League, the status of La Liga No. 1 will probably be greatly challenged...

Now Mallorca has lived up to expectations and eliminated Bayern into the semi-finals, saving La Liga honor, which also made the Spanish media relieved, but the current situation seems to be more beneficial to the Premier League, because all the three Premier League teams participating in the quarterfinals have successfully broken through!

Manchester United slaughtered Roma 7-1 at home, and entered the semi-finals with a total score of 8-3 in two rounds. After two years of dormant, Manchester United began to rise again. Chelsea defeated AC Milan in two rounds, extinguishing the last hope of Serie A team in the Champions League. Liverpool swept Eindhoven four-zero in two rounds and also advanced to the semi-finals!

The top four Premier League occupies three seats and encircles Mallorca!

In the semi-finals, Mallorca's opponent was Manchester United, while Chelsea faced Liverpool. There were three young coaches and one old coach. The semi-finals of this Champions League seemed so subversive...

"I don't think this is unfavorable to Mallorca... After all, we only have one team after another. Although there are three seats in the Premier League in the semi-finals, they cannot rush to play us... Fight against Manchester United? I'm very happy. Mallorca was eliminated by Manchester United before, and now it can fight against the previous Manchester United, which has become stronger again. This is the glory of Mallorca."

Jose seemed very calm during the post-match interview. It was obvious that the final four made Jose feel very happy, but for Jose, this was just the beginning, not the end...

The first leg of the Champions League will be held on April 25th. Before that, Mallorca still has three games to play - two league games and one cup game. Next, Mallorca will immediately challenge Barcelona away, which will be Barcelona's last hope for winning the championship.

"If they want to win, then let them win. You must know that we are seventeen points ahead of them. Even if we lose to them, we still have a four-point advantage... After this round of league play, we only have eight league rounds left. Unless we lose at least four games in eight leagues, they will be able to catch up with us... Do you think we may lose so many games?" Jose said to everyone during the team's training.

The players of Mallorca laughed. Indeed, even if they lose this game, it will not affect the overall situation of Mallorca's winning. It's just a few rounds ahead of schedule. For Mallorca, they may not want to create any record to win the championship. Anyway, there is no record of winning streak now, and it is impossible to win the championship unbeaten in the season. So just play better. Saving some energy can also make Mallorca perform better in the Champions League.

With such a relaxed mentality, Mallorca ushered in a match against Barcelona.

In this game, Jose has hidden a large part of the main players. Ronaldo Torrescaca Barrac Mecon and other major players who have recently played more games have not even made the roster. On the court, there are Klose and Van Persie partnered with midfielder Silva Iniesta Alonso Sena, defender Ramcampano Matias Meques, goalkeeper Van Persie. Facing this semi-main lineup of Mallorca, Barcelona also played quite hard at home - the reason is very simple. Although most of these people are substitutes, they do not lose any physical strength. At the same time, they have a good mentality and try their best. Barcelona is burdened with the burden of having to win the ball - what makes them most desperate is that even if they win the opponent, they still have to face a gap of 14 points...

This idea made Barcelona feel a little collapsed. Everyone is a professional player. If you win this game, you will have a great chance to win the championship. Then Barcelona will be the worst of it, just to fight to grab this three-pointer. Now Barcelona is like fighting against a side division with the power of the country. If you lose, you will be wiped out. If you win, you can only survive a little. In this case, it is really disgusting.

Then they were entangled by Mallorca and could not break through Mallorca's goal. They were constantly touched by Mallorca's counterattack. Later, the Barcelona players felt that they were about to collapse. Such a game was simply torture for them.

In the end, Barcelona won the game, but the way of winning made their morale even more sluggish. The game continued until the 89th minute, and Barcelona won the lead with an own goal from Mex in the game, and then maintained until the end of the game. The final score was 1-0, and Barcelona won the victory with an own goal from Mex at home...

Such a victory did not make Barcelona players feel proud at all. The opponent was only a semi-main lineup. He had just played a fierce battle in Germany and then traveled a long distance to the Camp Nou. Our side was an elite army to wait for it. In this way, he still won the victory with only one own goal - what's so proud of this kind of victory?

Mallorca seemed extremely relaxed, if you lose, you will lose. We still have a 14-point advantage. And judging from Barcelona's current state, maybe the three-pointers won in this game will be returned to us in the next round...

The following week, Mallorca and Barcelona started the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey with different moods. Jose continued to send a large number of substitutes in the game, including Pinto Campo Farinos Sissoko and others, all of them. However, in this game, Mallorca suffered a big loss. They were not at a disadvantage in the game. However, the two strikers who started Ronaldo and Van Persie were quite unsatisfied. Ronaldo failed to score two single shots. Once, he even drifted past the opponent's goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal, and was back to defend.

The guard struggled to clear the ball from the goal line, but Van Persie was shocking to hit two must-scoring goals. Another shot in the penalty area hit the crossbar. Sevilla's attacks were not more than Mallorca, but their luck was much better. Fabiano picked up a leak in the penalty area. Alves made a pass and shot from 30 meters away and flew into the goal. In the second half, Chevanton won another goal through counterattack. Mallorca's surprising away game was defeated by Sevilla by 0-3, and the hope for the triple championship suddenly became slim...

"We were not lucky in this game, and Sevilla played well... There is nothing to say about losing to them. After all, our focus is on the Champions League game now... The schedule in April is too intensive, our players are not in good shape, but there is still the second round, and we are not without a chance."

After the game, Jose said lightly, but in fact he was also very annoyed - Mallorca seemed to have not lost so miserably in his post, but he lost so miserably in Sevilla. It seems that there is no hope for the triple-winning champion this season, and he can only strive for the Champions League with all his strength...

In another game, Barcelona vented all their anger on Getafe. They beat Getafe five-2 at home - if they can't win the Champions League and the league, they will at least win a Copa del Rey...

However, the results of these two games have raised hope for Barcelona fans. Mallorca has lost two consecutive games. They were in such a good state before. Will they lose one after another now...

But such hope is shattered after the next round...

On April 22, in the 31st round of the league, Jose did not seem to think that the previous rotation was the reason for the loss. He still sent a large number of substitutes in the game, perhaps because his opponent Tarragona is now at the bottom of the points and has almost been relegated early. Although he sent a large number of substitutes, Mallorca still defeated Tarragona 1-0 at home without any danger. Ronaldo was unlucky in the last game and scored his only goal in the second half, Mallorca ended his two-game losing record.

Barcelona's performance made all Barcelona fans want to curse - they lost to Villarreal two goals without any temper on the away game, not only were Mallorca leading 17 points again, but they also didn't have many points ahead of Sevilla and Real Madrid - they are now only one point ahead of Sevilla and two points ahead of Real Madrid...
