Gerd Muller has been haunted by Bayern's defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League final last season.

In that game, Bayern had the upper hand on the field and kept pressing Chelsea to play, but the result was that they couldn't score.

Robben, Ribery, Gomez, Muller and others missed the opportunity to score one after another, and were finally dragged into the penalty shootout by the opponent and unfortunately lost the game.

If Bayern had a player like Lin Quan who dribbled sharply in a small area, was good at breaking through and could run in position last season, maybe the result would have been completely different.

After falling behind, Bayern immediately launched a frantic counterattack.

If at the beginning, Bayern were still thinking about saving for the Champions League in four days' time, and did not give their best in the game.

At this time, they have been completely enraged, and they have long forgotten about the Champions League game or something!

Like an angry lion, they went berserk and attacked Werder Bremen!

Bayern Munich's offensive was like a wave, wave after wave of non-stop hitting the Werder Bremen defence.

Werder Bremen is like a boat in a storm, ready to be swallowed up by the opposing wave of attack at any moment.

In order to defend their own goal, almost all the players of Werder Bremen retreated to their own half, and even the center Arnautovic retreated to the center circle to participate in the defense, and Bayern's half was empty to run away!

Bayern Munich have taken full control of the situation on the field, and they continue to form an attack, threatening Werder Bremen's goal again and again.

However, Bayern did not seem to have had much luck, as they had 11 shots on goal throughout the first half, but only three of them hit the woodwork and failed to score a single goal.

In the end, after 45 minutes of hard fighting, the first half was over, and Bayern Munich returned to the dressing room with a goal deficit.

On the other hand, although the players of Werder Bremen took the lead by one goal, there was no joy in the whole team, and only the sound of the players gasping for breath was left in the dressing room.

Bayern's offensive in the final stage of the first half was too ferocious, their impact was too strong, and they were very good at pulling and tearing apart the Werder Bremen defense with their cooperation again and again.

If it weren't for the players of Werder Bremen who did not hesitate to run physically, made up for the lack of skill and awareness with diligent running and active scrambling, and stabilized the defensive line, they would have been defeated by Bayern at this time!

However, it also came at a great cost, with only one and a half minutes played, and the players at Werder Bremen were feeling more tired than ever.

At this rate of attrition, they will definitely not be able to keep playing in the second half, and they may not be able to play for sixty or seventy minutes, and the players will have no energy.

In the locker room, physiotherapists are seizing the time to massage and relax the players.

Coach Schaaf is planning the tactical play of the second half for the players.

"You guys played a great first half, I'm so proud of you, but it's not over yet, it's not time for us to be happy!"

"In the second half, Bayern will definitely continue to strengthen the attack, Robben, Gomez and others will be replaced, and our wings will encounter a more severe test!"

The players nodded their heads and a single Ribery in the first half made it tricky for them.

If Arjen Robben comes on the pitch again and Bayern's Robery combination is activated, then their attacking firepower in the front court will be taken up a notch.

This is a huge test for Werder Bremen's backline!

"So, in the second half we played like this......"

……

On the other side, in the away team's dressing room.

After arranging the offensive tactics for the second half, Heynckes approached the team's striker Pizarro alone and said to him:

"Claudio, the team is in adversity and needs a veteran player like you to step up!"

"Coach, even if you tell me, I will carry it out to the letter!"

"Very good, I will replace you around 60 minutes, so after the second half, don't care about the physical consumption, do everything possible to impact the opponent's backline, consume the physical energy of their defenders, whether the team can win the game depends on the consumption of you and Kroos!"

Heynckes saw Werder's fitness issues and planned to make a substitution around 60 minutes into the second half.

The two substitutions were striker Pizarro and midfielder Kroos.

Before replacing these two, he hoped that these two would run more, impact the opponent's defense more, and wear down the opponent.

In this way, when the substitute players are familiar with the rhythm of the game and officially enter the state, they can just catch up with the bottleneck period of the opponent's physical exhaustion.

In Bayern's squad, Pizarro is not the absolute star.

Older him, he doesn't have much of an advantage over Gomez and Mandzukic.

As a result, Heynckes never expected much from him, but used him as a tool.

Pizarro nodded expressionlessly when he heard the old man's words.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only accept it helplessly.

At the end of the day, he was just a not-so-important rotation player at Bayern, a 108,000-mile gap from his absolute core at Werder Bremen.

Being able to play is already a good result for him, so what can he hope for?

At the start of the second half, Bayern continued to pick up the tempo of the game.

The ball flew around in the Werder Bremen penalty area, and the Werder Bremen goal was once again put to the test.

Scharf held his chin with a look of concern in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that Bayern's players were more fierce and aggressive, especially Kroos in midfield and Pizarro in striker.

As if they didn't care about the physical exertion, the two men ran tirelessly and stormed Werder Bremen's defence.

In order to prevent them, Werder Bremen even received a yellow card.

Schaff subconsciously looked at the coach's bench on the other side, speculating in his heart about the intentions of the old coach Heynckes.

Bayern's bench is so luxurious that there will definitely be personnel changes in the second half.

And the people who were replaced, he had already guessed, must have been Pizarro and Kroos.

Because with their current style of play, the players are simply not physically fit enough to play the whole game.

Heynckes is really ruthless, using this method to consume Werder Bremen, but there is nothing that Werder Bremen can do here.

Schaff glanced at his team's bench and could only shake his head secretly.

Their bench depth is not comparable to that of Bayern Munich.

In the 60th minute, the fourth official raised the substitution card, and Bayern Munich took the lead in making personnel changes.

No. 10 Robben came on and replaced No. 39 Kroos.

No. 9 Mandzukic came on to replace No. 14 Pizarro.

Seeing this personnel adjustment of the other party, Schaaf immediately stood up from the coach's seat.

Mandzukic!?

Bayern didn't go to Gomez, but to Mandzukic?

Historically, Gomez sprained his ankle in the Telecom Cup match against Werder Bremen and underwent surgery to rest for three months.

But at this time, although Gomez was also injured, it was not an ankle, but a thigh strain, and he recovered after six weeks of rest.

In the last round, Gomez also scored a goal for the team, and his form is absolutely fine.

As a result, instead of replacing him, Heynckes replaced Mandzukic?

Schaff couldn't guess Heynckes' intentions, because in his opinion, Gomez was definitely better than Mandzukic, and Gomez and Bayern's teammates had a tacit understanding, far more suitable for Bayern's tactics than Mandzukic, a newcomer who only transferred in the summer window.

But Heynckes just didn't use him!

This made Schaaf a little nervous, and the other party's substitution was unexpected for him, making him feel inexplicably worried.

After Arjen Robben and Mandzukic came on the pitch, Bayern's style of play changed again.

Robben started a frantic break down the right flank and cut inside.

Elia, whose physical strength had already declined, couldn't defend against the other party at all, and was passed by the other party again and again.

And with Mandzukic in the box, Bayern's header threat has increased greatly.

After just five minutes on the pitch, Mandzukic had two shots on goal, both of which were extremely threatening!

Schaff realised that something was wrong and immediately made personnel changes, replacing Elia with Lukimuya, using his height and strong physicality to limit Mandzukic.

At the same time, he moved captain Fritz forward from left-back and returned to a midfield position, starting to play double midfield, adding protection to the edge of the penalty area.

However, this did not work out very well, and instead Robben had more space on the right after Elia came off.

In the 75th minute of the game, Robben took the ball away after receiving a pass from a teammate on the right side.

After a cross with Ribery, he suddenly sent in a cross to Mandzukic in the box.

Mandzukic had a chance to hit the ball himself, but after he chested the ball, he set up a cannon for his team-mate and passed a nanny ball to Ribery, who was plugged in behind.

Franck Ribery didn't waste the chance created by his team-mates and fired a blast into the Werder Bremen goal to equalise!

Werder Bremen led the majority of the half-time advantage and was gone!
