Chapter 173: Heathfield's Trick

Jose shook his head helplessly. There was no way to lose the ball, so he could only adjust during the break.

However, there is still half the time for this game. Mr. Heathfield, it would be too early to celebrate now...

"In the second half, our tactics need to be adjusted to a certain extent."

Looking at the players in the locker room who were taking time to rest, Jose said calmly: "Now Bayern is using the wing attack to get involved, and then directly creates opportunities through the forwards, playing against Miguel and Daniel, which is not turning fast enough... So what we need to strengthen is the protection of the front of the penalty area. At least one person breaks through and someone will make up for it... So, Francesco, you have to sacrifice in the second half, and I will replace you."

Jose said straight to Ruffit, and Ruffit nodded. He performed well in the first half, but that was in the offense and he couldn't help with defense. In addition, George is a player with stronger offense than defense, which puts Mallorca's defense on this side under a lot of pressure.

"Pablo, you go to the field in the second half and replace Francesco." Jose said to Pablo Garcia: "You only have one task after you come on the court, that is, protect the front of the penalty area. Whether it is Elber and Pizarola to get the ball outside the penalty area, or Effenberg and Sergio to the middle, you must be responsible for protecting the front of the penalty area and killing them! Don't be afraid of fouls, anyway, they don't have many good free kick players now, otherwise the Frenchman would not be required to become the first set player... As for the offense, it will be left to Mota and the others."

Pablo Garcia nodded excitedly. Although he could not guarantee the main player after transferring to Mallorca, he could always get the game. Compared with the situation in AC Milan last season, it was like a sky and an underground...

"In terms of offense, we focus on counterattacks. After all, they bring us a lot of pressure on defense. Ronaldo, Albert, Samuel, the offense depends on you three. Thiago may give you some help, but not too much. Bayern will definitely strengthen the offense in the second half, and you will not have few opportunities. Play behind us boldly and give full play to our speed and technical advantages. Bayern's two central defenders can only be considered ordinary. If you can't create opportunities in such a defender, then we should not think about creating good opportunities in the Champions League."

A soft laugh sounded in the locker room. Yes, even if there were only three offensive players in the frontcourt, Bayern's two central defenders were not at the top level, and it was not very difficult to create opportunities.

When Jose changed to another person, Mallorca's frontcourt changed a lot, and it could even be said that it changed from 442 to 433 - Carazze, Garcia and Mota formed the midfield. Carazze and Garcia's main task was to defend and protect the front of the penalty area. Mota was taking into account the defense while delivering shells to the frontcourt. The main offensive trident in the frontcourt was Ronaldo, Luke and Etoo. Naturally, there was no big problem in their cooperation.

The only thing that makes Jose regret is that there is still one person missing on the right, and Luke is more accustomed to moving on the left and middle, which makes Etoo only move on the right. Although he can also play on the right, with his characteristics, it is better to hit the center in front, so that he can maximize his speed and shooting characteristics.

But now, it's almost OK...

"In the second half, we let Bayern know that even if we reclaim the defense, it is not a good thing for them!" Jose waved his arm violently and said loudly: "Even if it is away, even if it is in the giants... so what? We must believe in our strength and believe that we can defeat all opponents, because we have such ability! The wealthy families encountered in La Liga are definitely not bad compared to any wealthy families that Europe can encounter! The road to proving that we are a strong team starts with the match against Bayern!"

"That's right! We are the strong team! We are the strong team!" Mallorca's players shouted loudly, without doubting the correctness of Jose's words!

Now, they are going to give Bayern a good look away!

"In the first half, Mallorca played one-to-one with Bayern away. This team that only participated in the official group stage of the Champions League this season has brought us enough surprises. Although the group they assigned is not too strong, being able to beat the Bundesliga runner-up and the Premier League runner-up as the first in the group is enough to prove that they deserve the title of La Liga runner-up... Now in the first half of the game, they tied with Bayern and led Bayern for a time. This is another huge surprise! The second half has begun. Let's see if Mallorca will bring us more surprises in the second half and bring more trouble to the defending champion... Oh! Bayern completed a shot from the beginning of the second half!"

After the second half began, Bayern's offense began to become more fierce, and equalizing the score at the last moment of the first half made them full of fighting spirit!

Pizarro's long shot outside the penalty area kicked off the Bayern offense, and then they launched fierce attacks in succession!

Pizarro's header was blocked by Van Biden, Hargreaves' long shot was above the crossbar under the interference of Garcia, Effenberg's free kick was blocked by a wall, Sanior followed up and made a follow-up shot, Franco flew to save...

However, Mallorca's defense is much better than in the first half. Although Garcia only had one more defensive player after he came on the court, Mallorca's midfielder's protection on the back line has undoubtedly increased a lot. At least it is basically impossible for Bayern to attack unscrupulously at the front of the penalty area...

Bayern attacked fiercely, Mallorca defended steadily, and both sides showed excellent abilities between one attack and one defense.

While defending, Mallorca's counterattack was not idle, and he kept hitting the ball directly at the frontcourt Trident for them to attack. Although the number of attacks was not many, this kind of counterattack often only needed to be caught once.

When the game reached the 70th minute, Heathfield made a substitution.

Yankel replaced Pizarro to increase the height in the penalty area, and another substitute forward Ziegler was also replaced. He replaced Salihamidic. Obviously, adding these two forwards is to increase the bombing ability in the penalty area, and tore the opponent's defense with continuous attacks!

"High-altitude ball? We don't seem to be afraid of this..." Jose smiled slightly in his heart. With one midfielder missing and one striker added, Mallorca's pressure in the midfield has been reduced a lot. Mota will shoot forward more times. Now it depends on whether Ronaldo and others in front can seize the opportunity.

In Jose's view, Heathfield's substitution is a waste of time. In the previous game, what made Mallorca the most headache was not Bayern's high-altitude bombing, but the forced breakthrough in the middle. Whether it was Elber or Pizarro, their speed and breakthrough made Mallorca's two central defenders difficult to defend. Even with Pablo Garcia and others at the front of the penalty area, Bayern will not have a chance to continue to play like this. With this, the breakthrough ability in the middle is weakened, and the breakthrough ability in the flank is also weakened because of Salihamidic's outcome. What is the point of putting two centers in the penalty area?

Originally, seeing Bayern's offense was quite fierce and the entire formation was running very well, Jose had already begun to think that it would be a good choice to get a point away. However, now that Heathfield's man changed, Jose began to feel that his team's chances of winning have begun to increase greatly...

Four minutes later.

Sergio made a cross from the bottom, and Van Biden and Yankel jumped up together to compete for the top. Neither of them could hit the ball. When the ball began to fall, Karaze, who returned to the penalty area, headed in front of Ziegler and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Pablo Garcia stabbed the ball first and stabbed Mota. Mota did not stick to the ball, but directly passed it straight and passed the ball to Etoo on the right!

After retreating and getting the ball, Etoo began to break through quickly along the side road. Lizarazu struggled to chase him back, but Etoo still dribbled the ball to within 30 meters. After seeing that the opponent's defense was concentrated on this side, he stopped and turned around, and then passed the ball to Mota who followed up to meet him.

Mota immediately distributed it to Ronaldo on the left. After receiving the ball, Ronaldo raised his foot and planned to pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but hit Sanior and bounced back.

Ronaldo once again took the lead in controlling the ball. At this moment, Capdvilla rushed up from the back. Ronaldo did not force a breakthrough, but directly raised his foot and passed the ball to Capdvilla.

Capdvilla catches the ball and then quickly crosses it from the bottom!

This was a cross that was close to the ground. Kufur had already pushed forward in order to defend Ronaldo's breakthrough just now. He failed to intercept Capdevila's pass in the middle of the road, and the ball flew directly into the small penalty area...

Luke used his body to hold back Robert Kovac from behind, and gently padded his left foot towards the ball!

Facing this close-range shot, even Kahn could not respond in the first time!

The entire Munich Olympic Stadium became silent again!

All Bayern fans watched this scene in amazement - it was another damn counterattack, which made them fall behind again in this game!

Heathfield's face also became extremely ugly at that moment!

After seeing this goal, he realized what he had done wrong - strengthened high-altitude bombing and changed a center forward, why change two? Removing a wing player to reduce the ability to break through the wing, Sanior had to insert more assists, resulting in untimely return to defense, and missing one midfielder also reduced the defensive pressure of Mallorca's midfielder. Mota was able to easily forward and follow up... This series of factors are one of the reasons why Mallorca scored this goal, and the reason for these factors was more from his own substitutions!

The record of unbeaten at home for 25 consecutive games in the Champions League may be terminated in this game!

The termination factor is because of an inappropriate substitution!
