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

Mainz's match against Bayern Munich kicked off a little later than the second half of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Hannover 96, as Mainz made a substitution at the start of the second half.

Tuchel brought on Sarle for Koo Zi-chul. In the first half, Mainz continued to maintain a fast offensive rhythm, and the physical consumption of the players was a little large, in order to continue to maintain this momentum, of course, it was necessary to make timely substitutions, otherwise the physical decline of the offensive players in the front court could not keep up, and the previous rhythm could not be maintained.

It was clear from this substitution that Tuchel still wants to beat Bayern Munich at his home turf.

Sure enough, just one minute into the opening game, Choupo-Moting ran all the way to the corner of Bayern Munich's penalty area with the ball on the left side, and then shot from a distance!

The football bypassed all the defenders, even Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

But it ended up smashing on the far goalpost!

'The goalpost!!!

Although he didn't concede a goal, Guardiola jumped up from his seat and rushed to the sideline, yelling and waving his arms while displeased with the performance of his players.

Of course, he had reason to be dissatisfied, and he said so much at half-time, but in exchange for almost letting people score at the beginning of the second half!

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

They did have a chance in the 50th minute, but Mandzukic's volley from inside the box went wide and did not pose much of a threat to Mainz's goal.

The match between Borussia Dortmund and Hannover 96 was a different story.

At the start of the second half, Dortmund quickly took the initiative and curbed the momentum of Hannover 96 by pressing aggressively in midfield.

In the 52nd minute, Beatencourt, a young player who only transferred from Dortmund to Hannover 96 this summer, was cut off by Sven Bender when he tried to dribble the ball on the right side of the front field.

After Zhou Yi won the ball, he sent the ball directly to the left side of the field, where Aubameyang received the ball and cut inside from the left side of the penalty area to face Andre Hoffmann, Schmidbach and Schulzer!

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, nice flash!"

The Gabonese striker who dribbled to the penalty spot got ahead of Poconioli's sliding tackle and shot at goal!

Goalkeeper Ziler thought Aubameyang would shoot into the far corner, but he came with a shot from the near corner.

Zeller saw that the football was flying in the wrong direction, and when it pounced again, it was too late, and the football flew into the goal!

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! A brilliant individual performance! He extended the score for Borussia Dortmund!2:0! Dortmund led by two goals away from home, and it seems that there is no suspense in winning this game!" Marcel Leif certainly knows what the Dortmund fans in front of the TV are most concerned about at this time, so he added: "At the same time, on the other side, Bayern Munich and Mainz are still 0:0...... Pep Guardiola's side look like they're in trouble......"

Pep Guardiola did not allow his assistant to tell him about the other game, but he could still feel a small commotion around him.

But at this time, nothing happened on the pitch that could cause such a commotion.

So he knew that it must have been another match between Dortmund and Hannover 96.

It's a pity that he doesn't let others tell him, so naturally no one will dare to come over to tell him, and it's not good for him to ask himself.

So despite his curiosity, he could only endure it.

It was at this point that Bayern Munich organized a successful attack on the pitch, and Alaba crossed from the left and found Mandzukic in the middle, who jumped high in the six-yard box and headed home!

It was a brilliant header because Mandzukic was heading in without any interference and he was able to stretch out in the air to get his head on goal.

It's almost like training on a daily basis.

Mandzukic's ball was also very quality, and he went to the back of the goal, and it was a successful and dangerous header no matter how it looked.

But when the football was about to fly into the goal, it was saved by Mainz goalkeeper Karius bravely!

"Karius!!!a brilliant save!a crucial save!oh!!great one!, he saved Mandzukic's inevitable header!"

The entire Opel arena was filled with loud cheers as the Mainz fans cheered on their goalkeeper.

As soon as Karius got up from the ground, his teammates came up and hugged him, as if he had scored a goal.

But it's true, and the save is worth as much as a goal.

If Mandzukic had been allowed to go inside, the balance would have been upset...... Karius saved the team and also kept Mainz's hopes of winning the game away from home. Even, if Mainz finally beat Dortmund as they wished, then this save could also be the one that decided the league title!

Pep Guardiola's attention was drawn when Mandzukic headed in and he was ready to jump up and cheer.

But now, the raised hands can only be clasped back to his bald head.

The ball didn't go in!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his team-mates celebrated and returned to their own half for the game to resume.

His goal was a serious blow to the morale of Hannover 96. Not long after the start of the second half, they fell behind, which gave the Hannover 96 players a sense of powerlessness.

After a few minutes of observation, Klopp determined that Hannover 96 was indeed a bit of a careless fight, so he began to make substitutions.

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

In this season, Zhou Yi is the well-deserved core of the team, Mark is the team's top scorer, and Royce is also very important, of course, to ensure physical strength.

Despite replacing Luiz, Dortmund still had the advantage in attack.

"Dortmund, who have a two-goal lead, have completely suppressed Hannover 96 and are completely anti-guest-oriented, and the home team's hope of a comeback now seems slim. On the other hand, Bayern Munich have yet to break the deadlock...... If the two games were to end with this scoreline, Dortmund would be two points behind Bayern Munich, which would be a very dangerous point difference......

On Bayern Munich's side, after Mandzukic didn't score with a header, Mainz soon returned the favor with a quick counter-attack. Choupo-Moting's volley from inside the box went just over the crossbar and scared the Bayern Munich fans enough.

Choupo-Moting, who had missed this opportunity, also looked very annoyed, and he fell to his knees and pounded the turf hard.

There is a reason why he is so annoyed, Choupo-Moting's physical fitness is declining very quickly, and he himself doesn't know if there will be such a chance next time.

It's not just Choupo-Moting's fitness that is declining rapidly, it's the entire Mainz attacking lineup that is rapidly declining. Tuchel's tactics are demanding from his players' ability to run. Tuchel's tactical approach to this game was very targeted.

In the face of Bayern, which has an absolute advantage in possession, Mainz took the initiative to give up possession to the opponent, from the point of view of the number of possession, Mainz is at an absolute disadvantage, but from the perspective of the field, it is not possible to get the feeling of the number of possession.

It was because after giving up possession that Mainz played the counterattack with great vigour, aiming for the space behind the ribs of the Bayern Munich backline.

Nicola Muller's incisive shot in the first half and Choupo-Moting's powerful shot at the post in the early stages of the second half showed the specificity and correctness of Tuchel's tactics.

However, it all depends on the fitness and speed of the players in the team.

With almost 60 minutes into the second half, Mainz still without a goal and the players declining rapidly, Tuchel will of course have to make another adjustment.

Since you didn't score a goal by relying on quick counterattacks, you have to change your style of play. Tuchel decided to defend solidly, and he slowly maneuvered with Bayern Munich.

So he replaced Choupo-Moting, who was killing but also physically exhausted.

After Turch made tactical changes, the situation on the pitch began to change. When Mainz can no longer use counterattacks to sneak up on Bayern Munich's goal, Bayern Munich can let them press boldly.

In the 62nd minute, Bayern Munich launched a quick attack, Robben used his speed to dribble into the Mainz penalty area and cut inside to shoot, and the ball was saved by the reflexing Karius.

"Karius was in really good shape today, and now that Mainz has made changes, the pressure on the back line is even greater, and it's even more important to see the goalkeeper play at this time......

Pep Guardiola is also aware that the situation is changing, and of course he has to do something to help the situation at this time.

He set his sights on the bench.

※※※

Gotze sat on the sidelines, nervously and anxiously watching the court.

More than 60 minutes into the game, Bayern Munich still couldn't score.

If you don't win this game in the end......

Götze couldn't even think about the consequences.

Although he didn't know the details of the game on Dortmund's side, he vaguely heard that Dortmund seemed to be 96 ahead of Hannover.

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard the voice of assistant coach Herman Grande: "Gotze!

After a moment's pause, he came back to his senses and looked at the coach's seat, where the assistant coach was waving to him.

He realised that the manager was about to make a change!

And the first thing that comes to mind when making a change is yourself!

Gotze jumped up from the bench and ran to the warm-up area.

Although he didn't compete in the same game, Gotze saw it as an opportunity for him to compete with Zhou Yi. He wants to use his wonderful performance to help Bayern Munich win the opponent and continue to maintain a four-point lead over Dortmund!
