Two hundred and twentieth chapters tenacious Mainz

After fifteen minutes of rest and adjustment, the second half of the game began.

Mainz and Bayern Munich had a kick-off later than the second half of the Dortmund and Hannover 96, because Mainz made a substitution adjustment just at the beginning of the second half.

Tuchel replaced Ju Zizhe with Salle. In the first half, Mainz continued to maintain a fast offensive rhythm, and the players' physical energy was consumed a lot. In order to continue to maintain this situation, of course, they must make timely substitutions, otherwise the physical fitness of the frontcourt offensive players would not be able to keep up with the previous rhythm.

As can be seen from this substitution, Tuchel still wants to defeat Bayern Munich at his home court.

Sure enough, just one minute into the opening game, Schubomotin dribbled the ball from the left and rushed to Bayern Munich's penalty area corner, and then shot a long shot!

Football bypassed all defensive players, even Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer.

But it ended up hitting the far post!

"Pule!! Schubermotin's wonderful offense, his last shot was also very exciting, but he was blocked by the post! It was so dangerous that Tuchel's team almost broke the deadlock! Bayern Munich escaped!"

Although he did not concede the ball, Guardiola jumped out of his seat, rushed to the sidelines, yelled, and waved his arms, dissatisfied with the players' performance.

Of course he had reason to be dissatisfied. After saying so much during the halftime break, what he almost scored was the result of someone who scored a goal from the beginning of the second half!

After being scolded by Guardiola, Bayern Munich tried to fight back.

In the 50th minute, they did get a chance, but Mandzukic's volley after getting the ball in the penalty area missed the goal and did not pose any threat to Mainz's goal.

The match between Dortmund and Hannover 96 was another aspect.

After the start of the second half, Dortmund quickly took the initiative and curbed the momentum of Hannover 96 through active pressing in the midfield and frontcourt.

In the 52nd minute, when Bitten Court, a young player from Dortmund to Hannover 96, was trying to dribble on the right side of the frontcourt, he was cut off by Sven Bend. Yan Min, who was helping defender, saw that the football was poked out by Sven Bend, strode forward and then passed the football to Zhou Yi in the middle with one kick.

After getting the ball, Zhou Yi directly passed the ball with a long pass to the left of the frontcourt. There, Aubameyang received the ball and cut in from the left of the penalty area. Facing Andre Hoffman, Schmidbach and Schultzer were surrounded by siege!

"Aubameyang, beautifully wiggling!"

The Gabonese striker who dribbled the ball to the penalty spot took the ball before Poconioli's slippery tackle rescue and shot!

Goalkeeper Ziller thought Aubameyang would shoot in the far corner, but he didn't expect him to have a close-range shot.

Ziller saw that the football flew in the wrong direction, and it was too late to rush over again, so the football flew into the goal!

"Aubameyang! A wonderful solo performance! He expanded the score for Dortmund! 2:0! Dortmund led two goals away from home. It seems that he won this game without any suspense!" Marcel Lef knew what Dortmund fans in front of the TV were most concerned at this time, so he added: "At the same time, on the other side, the score between Bayern Munich and Mainz is still 0:0... Guardiola's team seems to be in trouble..."

Guardiola did not allow his assistant to tell him about the situation of another game, but he could still feel a small commotion happening around him.

But at this time, nothing happened on the court that could lead to such a commotion.

So he knew that it must be what happened in the match between Dortmund and Hannover 96 again.

It’s a pity that he didn’t let others tell him, so naturally no one would dare to come over and tell him, and he was not good at asking himself.

So despite being a little curious, he could only bear it.

At this moment, Bayern Munich organized a successful attack on the court. Alaba made a cross from the left and accurately found Mandzukic in the middle. The latter jumped high in the small penalty area and headed the ball!

This was a very wonderful header, because when Mandzukic headed, he was not disturbed at all, and he could head very much in the air.

It's like it's in daily training.

The football Mandzukic pushed out was also very quality, and he went to the back point of the goal. No matter how you look at it, it was a very successful and threatening header.

But when the football was about to fly into the goal, Mainz goalkeeper Karius bravely rushed out!

"Karius!! A wonderful save! The key save! Oh!! Great! He saved the header that Mandzukic would definitely score!"

Huge cheers rang out throughout the Opel Arena, and Mainz fans cheered for their goalkeepers.

After Karius got up from the ground, his teammates immediately came up to hug him, as if he had scored a goal.

But it is true, the save is worth no less than a goal.

If Mandzukic is allowed to push in, the balance is likely to be broken... Karius saved the team and retained the hope of Mainz winning the game away. Even if Mainz finally defeats Dortmund as he wishes, then this save may be a save that determines the league championship!

Guardiola was attracted by the attention when Mandzukic headed the ball, and he was ready to jump up and cheer.

But now, the raised hands could only be retouched back to his bald head.

The ball didn't go in!

Aubameyang and his teammates celebrated the goal and returned to their half, and the game started again.

His ball was a serious blow to the morale of Hannover 96. He fell behind shortly after the second half, which made the Hannover 96 players feel powerless.

After observing for a few minutes, Klopp confirmed that Hannover 96 was indeed a little unwilling to fight, so he started to replace people.

First, Mkhitaryan replaced Reus so that Reus could have a good rest.

In this season, Zhou Yi is the team's well-deserved core, Mark is the team's number one scorer, and Reus is also very important, and of course he must also ensure physical strength.

Although Luis was replaced, Dortmund still had an advantage in the offensive.

"Bortmond, which leads two goals, has completely suppressed Hannover 96 and completely turned away. The home team wants to turn the tables, and it seems that there is little hope for the home team to turn the tables. On the other hand, Bayern Munich has not broken the deadlock yet... If we end two games with this score, Dortmund will be two points behind Bayern Munich, which is a very dangerous point difference..."

On the side of Bayern Munich, after Mandzukic headed the ball, Mainz soon used a quick counterattack to fight back. Schubomotin's volley in the penalty area was slightly above the crossbar, frightening Bayern Munich fans.

Shupomoting, who missed this opportunity, also seemed very upset. He knelt on the ground and pounded the grass hard.

There is a reason why he was so upset. Shupomoting's physical fitness declined very quickly. He himself didn't know if there would be such a chance next time.

Not only Schopomoting's physical fitness declined very quickly, but the physical fitness of the entire Mainz attack lineup was declining rapidly. Tuchel's tactics were very demanding on the players' running ability. Tuchel's tactical arrangements in this game were very targeted.

Facing Bayern, who has an absolute advantage in ball possession, Mainz took the initiative to give up the ball possession to his opponent. Judging from the ball possession rate, Mainz is at an absolute disadvantage, but from the scene, he cannot get the feeling he has always had with the ball possession rate.

It was because after giving up the ball possession rate, Mainz made a counterattack and aimed at the empty space behind Bayern Munich's back line.

In the first half, Nikola Muller's inward shot and Schubomotin's powerful shot at the beginning of the second half reflects the target and correctness of Tuchel's tactics.

However, all this is based on the fact that the team players must have sufficient physical fitness and speed.

The second half has been played for almost 60 minutes, and Mainz still has not scored, and the players' physical fitness has also declined very quickly. In this case, Tuchel will of course make another adjustment.

Since he didn't score a goal by relying on quick counterattacks, he had to change his style of play. Tuchel decided to stabilize his defense and slowly deal with Bayern Munich.

So he replaced Shupomoting, who was still exhausted, although he had murderous intentions.

After Turge made a tactical adjustment, the situation on the field began to change. When Mainz could no longer use counterattacks to sneak attack Bayern Munich's goal, Bayern Munich could put it on with confidence and boldness.

In the 62nd minute, Bayern Munich launched a fast attack. Robben used his speed to dribble into Mainz's penalty area and cut inside. The football was saved by Karius, who was extremely responsive.

"Karius is in great shape today! Now that Mainz has made adjustments, the pressure on the defense is getting greater, and it depends on the goalkeeper's performance at this time..."

Guardiola also realized that the situation was changing, and of course he had to do something to fuel the fire at this time.

He turned his attention to the bench.

※※※

Gotze sat off the court and looked nervously and anxiously on the court.

The game has been more than 60 minutes long, and Bayern Munich still cannot score.

If this game was not won...

Gotze didn't dare to think about that consequence.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the game in Dortmund, he vaguely heard that Dortmund seemed to be leading Hannover 96.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the voice of assistant coach Herman Grande: "Getze! Go warm up!"

He came to his senses after a moment of froze and looked at the coach's seat. The assistant coach was waving to him.

He realized that the head coach was going to make a change!

And when making changes, the first thing that comes to mind is yourself!

Gotze jumped up from the bench with a hundredfold spirit and ran to the warm-up area.
Chapter completed!
