Chapter 79: About to Hit the Line

Counting stoppage time, there were still nearly ten minutes left. Although Heynckes had high expectations for these talented attackers, he did not completely gamble on offense. As an old coach with rich coaching experience, he is very aware of the importance of offensive and defensive balance in this period of time.

So at this time, he changed two people in a row, one attack and one defense. The defensive strengthening was mainly aimed at the midfielder. Van Bommel was replaced and Borowski played.

At the age of thirty-two, today Van Bommel puts in as much physical energy on defense as on offense. Heynckes is very cautious. He knows that once the physical energy of the veteran falls to the critical point, his performance on the field will not be able to match his ambition. No matter how rich his experience is, it will be in vain. , so he decisively chose to eliminate this hidden danger first.

And another substitution that focused on offense, Heynckes replaced Podolski and replaced the Italian veteran Toni.

Munich TV 1 commentator Baumann saw this substitution, and his face was happy: "Podolski seems to have changed his role here at Heynckes. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is in the mind of the new coach if he can play at this time. No weight. On the contrary, Heynckes may have used him as a back-hander in this game because he valued his sense of smell as a goal killer. Prince Polti's super ability to change the game needs no words. "

It's not that Bowman is a German commentator, he just favors one over another. Tony's ability to finish games is also top notch. However, his and Klose's functions still overlap somewhat. Judging from this game, the two aerial masters partnered, and one plus one did not achieve the effect of equaling two. So now that Bayern needs to attack, Heynckes has replaced a different type of striker-judging from past results, Podolski's excellent swimming ability can form a good chemical reaction with Klose.

On Slomka's side, he also followed Bayern's rhythm and began to deploy troops. Germagny Jones replaces Kuranyi.

The substitutions of the head coaches on both sides have similarities. They all replaced the standing center with a more impactful speed forward. The meaning behind this is the same, neither side has the patience to fight a battle one by one, and both hope to cut the mess quickly.

In the last few minutes, the scene opened up a lot. The routines of both sides are very clear. On Bayern's side, it took three touches to complete an attack-Schweinsteiger kicked Klose in the midfield, Klose headed the ball, and Podolski quickly followed and shot.

Although the routine is very simple, the alarm is constantly sounding in front of Schalke's goal. If it weren't for Hewedes' several key blocks in time and continuous shots from close range, Neuer would be in great trouble.

The cooperation between the trio of the German national team has indeed brought out the strengths of the three to the extreme. The three have trained together from the club to the national team, and their familiarity with each other is naturally incomparable. Especially between Klose and Podolski, almost with their eyes closed, they can know where each other can run and where the pass will go.

After the substitution on Slomka's side,

The tactics were even simpler and rougher. They didn't even need to attack from the side. Instead, Zhou Tiancheng was directly asked to pass behind the opponent's defense line, recklessly fighting Jones' speed, clearly bullying the two old legs of Lucio and Van Buyten.

However, Jones is physically capable, but he was too impatient, always speeding up to get out of position before Zhou Tiancheng passed the ball, and as a result, he fell into Bayern's well-designed offside trap time and time again.

Duan Xuan looked at this scene from the commentary booth, and said bluntly with some anxiety: "In this situation, Zhou Tiancheng might as well stop playing by himself. Jones is still too impatient. Sometimes there is no need to be blindly selfless on the court."

But this is just Duan Xuan's wish from his personal standpoint. The main purpose of Heynckes replacing Borowski in midfield is to target Zhou Tiancheng.

The focus of Bayern's defense against Zhou Tiancheng throughout the game was his personal dribbling. It was impossible to completely lock Zhou Tiancheng's passing organization, so Heynckes decisively chose to focus on the big and let go of the small to limit Zhou Tiancheng's personal firepower. Output-his scoring efficiency this season is even more terrifying than many forwards!

Not long after, the fourth official raised the stoppage time card, and there were three minutes of stoppage time in the second half.

"Such an exciting game, only three minutes? The referee team is a bit stingy. It should be at least five minutes to give both sides a chance."

But Duan Xuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted into the headset: "Three minutes of stoppage time. At the same time, in another game, Wolfsburg, the only team that can still threaten Schalke, lost! The away game was 0. :2 lost to Cottbus. Chinese player Shao Jiayi scored a goal!"

On the domestic Internet, the results of these two games were quickly blown up.

"666, Jiayi is amazing!"

"It's time to reveal my identity as a Cottbus fan for 20 years, is there anyone in the same league!"

"This wave of assists from the distance is really good! Cottbus has been amazing all season."

"Thank goodness Xie Jiayi!"

At the same time, Schalke also began to change tactics at the last moment. Zhou Tiancheng was the high point on top of the striker, and Rakitic was responsible for kicking the ball in the midfield and performing high-altitude operations.

Bayern's defense also began to recover in a timely manner. Zhou Tiancheng was in the front, and it was difficult to win the first point with his height. Lucio is 1.88 meters tall, and Belgian defender Van Buyten is 1.96 meters tall, three centimeters taller than him. Moreover, the judgment of the two people on the landing point and the timing of the take-off is equally sophisticated. Schalke 04 can only use the method of crowding together. Many people compete for one or two landing points to create chaos, but even so, they only get the sideline. For the chance of the ball, Lucio paid great attention to these details, and never gave a corner kick at the last moment!

With little time left in the game, Westerman took the initiative to throw a strong sideline ball. If you want to create a miracle, there is only this last resort.

Zhou Tiancheng made a gesture before he threw, and then took a step back. Van Buyten, who was guarding him, also took a step back immediately, and they were inseparable. But after the ball was thrown, Zhou Tian set up his horse to speed up, and under the cover of his teammates' body, he rushed to the front point where the ball was!

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng running past him, Lucio immediately left Jones behind, but he was still a step behind Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng rushed forward and swung the ball. Everyone thought he would directly attack the goal. The defense was messed up in an instant, and as a result, Zhou Tiancheng ferried the ball to the middle again. Jones, who was left by Lucio, finally seized the opportunity at close range and stretched out his foot to block the ball into the goal.

The Allianz Arena was instantly silent, so Duan Xuan's sudden burst of high decibels seemed strange, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and yelled loudly: "Lore! Lore! Hahahaha! Jones finally found what he should be at the last moment. The best position to appear, did not waste Zhou Tiancheng's vigilant movement!"

It was a complete buzzer-beater, and the referee blew the final whistle immediately after Bayern re-kicked off.

"The game is over! Schalke 04 strode forward to the final challenge. They already have a 10-point advantage. There are four rounds left in the league. As long as they win the next round, they will win the Bundesliga championship three rounds ahead of schedule!"

This time Schalke 04 is really only one step away from crossing the line, and no one can stop them!
