When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Bayern Munich players rushed back to the visiting dressing room under the leadership of Heathfield, and the head coach needed to adjust his players' mentality during the half-time break and also figure out how to deal with Fiorentina's dominant style of play in order to turn the team around in the second half.

Looking at Fiorentina's side again, although the players' expressions were also very strict, the confidence brought by the 2-0 lead in the first half still made them show a little joy between their eyebrows. After all, if they can maintain this advantage until the end of the game, Fiorentina will become only the second team to appear in the final of the Champions League for four consecutive years! (Note: The first was Real Madrid from 1956 to 1960)

However, as the head coach of the team, Capello did not have careless feelings because of this, after all, Bayern Munich is a German team no matter what, and the Germans are best known in the football world for their turnaround cases, and Capello certainly does not want him and Fiorentina to become another ghost under the name of the German.

As a result, Heathfield and Capello were the busiest two of them during the break, not only to make targeted adjustments to some of the team's holes in the first half, but also to stabilize the mentality of the players and avoid a collapse due to over-optimism or pessimism. The most important thing is that these two managers also have to guess what kind of tactics the opposing coach will adopt in the second half, whether the tactical adjustments they make happen to be restrained by the other side, etc......

Therefore, although the fifteen-minute half-time break may seem a bit long for the fans, it is actually quite a short period of time for the managers of both sides, especially the two tacticians of Capello and Heathfield, which is simply not enough for them.

After the start of the second half, the mental state of the Bayern players has improved significantly, and they did not blindly retreat in the first half of the game, but played some good quality counter-attacks under Costa's passing and command. Unfortunately, the Fiorentina backline led by Stam and Nesta was quite solid, with the former keeping a close eye on Jankel, who was also tall, and the latter never letting Zickler out of his sight, leaving no chance for Bayern players to counter-attack.

Seeing that Yankel did not play the role of a tactical fulcrum, and his slow movement speed and bulky body also made it difficult for him to make a difference under Stam's marking, Heathfield replaced Yankel with Sauer in the 68th minute of the game, leaving the faster Zikler alone in the front looking for opportunities - not because he didn't want the most reliable Elber to play, but because the Bayern striker was injured in a previous game against Hamburg. There is simply no way for him to represent Bayern Munich in this crucial game this evening.

"How could we be so passive if we had Elber on the pitch, Rui and his cross-cutting team would have enough to drink a pot of wine!" Looking at Zikler, who played as a single striker, although he worked extremely hard but was always so much worse than the Brazilian, Heathfield thought angrily, "However, with Sauer's assistance, with the equal number of midfielders, we should be able to create more opportunities, I hope Alexander (Zikler) and Hassan (Salihamidzic) can seize these opportunities, don't be like Karsten (Yankel) guy can only play position, even Stam guy can't run when he runs!" ”

I have to say that although Heathfield's substitution was a little late, and the replaced Sauer was still a complete glass man, the effect of his hand adjustment was still quite obvious. At least, when a healthy Sauer is on the pitch, Bayern's control of the midfield is clearly much stronger than before, Rui Costa is no longer alone, and the midfield is no longer Fiorentina's dominant turf.

However, despite regaining some control in the midfield and improving their attack, it does not mean that Bayern Munich will be able to recover the score. Now the initiative of the game is still on the Fiorentina side, Sauer and Costa are a little thinner, and when organizing the attack, it is easy to be forced by the Fiorentina players who defend them or directly bring down, so that they are forced to interrupt the planned attack.

Although this can also gain some set-pieces in the front, but the Fiorentina players are quite cautious in the place of fouling, and rarely take the initiative to give the opponent a free kick opportunity in an excellent position - this is the awareness that the Fiorentina players have only practiced after being taught many times by free kick masters such as Recoba, otherwise according to the temper of Gattuso, a butcher, he will not care where you dribble the ball, and he will directly kick the ball.

It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for Bayern to use these free kicks to create good scoring opportunities, so angry that Heathfield scolded Capello and Fiorentina players in his heart for being insidious and cunning, and actually used this way to disrupt Bayern's offensive deployment.

However, Heathfield himself has to admit that Fiorentina's move is indeed quite effective, and if he were the manager of Fiorentina, he would definitely use such a trick to delay the game time, and at the same time have the effect of disrupting the opponent's attacking rhythm.

In this way, as the time passed minute by minute, the Bayern players began to gradually become impatient on the field, after all, there was not much time left, and the possibility of them turning the tables was naturally getting smaller and smaller.

Just when the Fiorentina fans thought that victory was in sight, Rui Costa, who was almost suppressed by Effenberg and Redondo, suddenly showed his fangs at this time - in the 92nd minute of the game, after receiving Sauer's return pass in the center circle, the Portuguese did not wait for Gattuso and Effenberg to come forward and attack, and directly sent a "short pass" with a length of more than 60 meters in the backfield!

Salihamidzic, who cut inside from the right, leaped out of the gap between Carlos and Nesta's defense, received this brilliant stroke from Costa, and finally shook off the attacking Toldo and pushed the empty goal!

Two-to-one, the angel from Bosnia and Herzegovina scored the last minute of stoppage time against Fiorentina!

When Salihamidzic roared and rushed to the corner where the Bayern fans were to celebrate the stunning goal, there was a dead silence in the stands at the Frankie Stadium, as all Fiorentina supporters knew that the second half stoppage time was only two minutes!

However, it was in this short two-minute stoppage time that Fiorentina, who had already touched the threshold of the final, was successfully overturned by their opponents at the last minute of the game and lost their tickets to the upcoming final at the last minute!

In this way, when the game was over, although Fiorentina, who was playing at home, defeated Bayern Munich with a score of 2-1, but in the case of a two-legged total score of 2-2 between the two sides, the Purple Lily was finally eliminated by Bayern because of the lack of away goals, and unfortunately ended the Champions Cup journey in the 98-99 season!
