Chapter 191: Farewell to Heathfield's Bayern

In the last leg of the game, Bayern's crazy high ball attack, which played a big role, was also greatly reduced in this game. In front of Porto, who were more closely aligned at the back, Bayern's high ball played in the big box or in the box, and the dense defenders played a very good role in disrupting Mackay and Pizarro. They were like sandwich biscuits, sandwiched in the middle by the Porto players, and they didn't have enough space to compete for the top as they did in the last game. At the same time, the combination of three backs also gives Porto enough protection at the front of the penalty area, and the long-range shot in front of the big penalty area has become extremely difficult for Bayern.

At this time, 13 minutes had passed since the opening kick-off, and then they occupied 65% of the possession on the field to play Bayern, but they had not yet played a threatening attack. There were 2 shots on goal, and it was only Ballack and Ze Roberto's helpless shots, both of which were not within the range of the goal. In the face of Porto's high-quality and dense defense, Bayern lack enough effective attacking means to put enough pressure on Porto's defence. A single offensive means has become the biggest trouble that hinders Bayern's offensive firepower.

It wasn't until the 19th minute of the first half that Bayern came up with their first shot on target. Ze Roberto's strong burst up front resulted in a foul on Kostiani and won Bayern a free-kick up front. Ballack's free-kick went straight into the Porto penalty area with a whistle from the referee. At this time, because more Bayern players came to the Porto penalty area to compete for the top, such as Kufuor and others are now coming to the Porto penalty area. The sudden increase in the number of header points has increased the pressure on Porto's defence.

In the melee, Bayern completed a header relay attack. Ma Kai first fought for the first landing point. Then he chose to head the ball back and made the ball to the back point. There Kufuor. It was also a strong victory over Ferreira, and the header hit this football. However, due to the angle is too correct. did not give Baia enough tests, and was firmly hugged by Baiya and defused Bayern's attack. The results achieved by Bayern's offensive so far have made Heathfield on the sidelines very dissatisfied. When you come up against a team that is defending and counter-attacking and can't put enough pressure on him, you have to be careful of the opponent's impending unbridled counter-attack.

In the 25th minute of the first half, in the process of rushing forward with the ball, Ballack was squeezed by Lao Lei's body next to him, and the ball was too big. There was a mistake. Maniche seized the opportunity to stab diagonally, cut off the ball at Ballack's feet, and then began to dribble forward. And Lao Lei immediately put aside Barak and also ran forward, ready to support Maniche.

When he faced Hargreaves, who came to obstruct him, he kicked the ball to the old ray behind the side. Lao Ray faced Maniche's pass, stretched out his right foot, and sent it straight forward. Then he was speeding around Ze Roberto and running towards the football. Stuck Ze Roberto with his body stiffly. Old Ray was the first to touch the football. However, Ze Roberto did not give up, and he was stubbornly entangled with Lao Lei, supplemented by small movements, in short, he did not let Lao Lei get up lightly. In such a situation. In the process of dribbling the ball, Lao Lei knocked the football back with the heel of his left foot, and then braked sharply. Meanwhile. Old Ray's right hand secretly pushed Ze Roberto's waist, widening the distance between him and him. After turning around and getting the football. Lao Lei didn't make any adjustments, and he didn't look ahead. It was directly a long pass with a big foot and flew to the front.

The ball found McCarthy in front of him, and with his back to the Bayern goal, he stopped on his chest and listened to Deco, who was inserting in from behind. Under the marking of Demichelis, Deco did not stop the ball, but passed the ball directly and gave the football into the penalty area. There Alberto was already in front of him, and at this time Alberto once again showed his good sense of the ball. With a thrust of his chest, he stopped Deco's pass, and before the ball hit the ground, he knocked the ball directly on the outside of his right foot and gave it to McCarthy, who had already turned and stepped forward at this time.

A succession of passes between the three allowed McCarthy to get a shot straight at Kahn. McCarthy fired a powerful direct volley into the back post before Kufuor could block it. The distance was too close, and even Karn couldn't react in time. McCarthy's volley curled in a certain arc, bypassing Kahn's hands and grazing the far post and into the Bayern goal. 1:0, Porto took the lead at their home turf.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Benny McCarthy!! Nice volley, Karn didn't have anything to do! Signature Quick Counterattack! Bayern's defense line was like a piece of butter, in the face of Porto's sharp knife-like counterattack, it did not play any blocking role, and was directly split in two and completely cut. It was just Porto's first shot of the game and it was a goal, terrible efficiency. Bayern now need at least three goals to guarantee they can qualify. But judging from the current situation on the field, we have not seen any reason and basis for Bayern to complete such a turnaround. ”

This goal made McCarthy directly take off his jersey and run wildly. Porto's players also celebrated wildly, with a goal that almost ensured the big picture and could have secured them into the last eight. Lao Lei was in the midfield, and Kostiani and Maniche hugged happily. Lao Lei looked at the boiling blue and white sea in the stands around him, and the corners of his mouth showed a pleasant arc. Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, looked very calm at this time, just clenched his fists, as if the victory of this game had been firmly held by him. For him, such a result is already predictable, and every qiē is a natural result.

The goal was a predictable blow to Bayern and a huge blow to the confidence of Bayern's players who were bent on turning the tables. In front of Bayern's coaching bench, the old coach Heathfield still held his hands on his chest and did not have any expression on his face. If you just look closely, you can still perceive it. Heathfield's gaze had lost focus. He knows that this goal not only sent Bayern out of this season's Champions League schedule, but also buried his coaching career at Bayern.

After the restart of the game. Although Bayern's players want to fight to the death, their anxious mentality makes them already dissatisfied with making the most correct attack. The effectiveness of the offense is decreasing. On the contrary, it was Porto's several counterattacks, which hit Bayern's goal every time, making Bayern's backline anxious. If it weren't for Kahn's next few strikes, he showed the level of the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, then the score would not have been just 1:0 now. Porto's counter-attack was like a fish thorn in the throat, making Bayern's attack, defense and breathing miserable. In the end, the score was 1:0 and was maintained until the end of the first half.

At the time of the end. The relaxed expressions of the Porto players contrasted sharply with the frustrated and lonely expressions of the Bayern players. At half-time, Mourinho did not make any changes. If nothing else, this strategy of defensive counterattack will continue until the end of the game. Take advantage of your illness and kill you, for the opponent, if Mourinho grasps the opponent's weakness, he will continue to attack this until the opponent falls.

After the start of the second half. Bayern began to attack with the same gambling style as in the previous leg. Bayern's back line began to press defensively, and for Bayern now, offense is the first priority. The vast Bayern half has become a piece of fat in Porto's eyes, and it will pounce and bite hard at any time. However, Bayern are not without opportunities. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Bayern finally had the best chance of the game. A direct 45-degree cross from Ze Roberto sent the ball into the Porto penalty area. A chaotic battle ensued.

In the midst of the chaos, the football came to the feet of Mackay by mistake. At this time, the former European Golden Boot can be said to face Baia directly. However, his anxious mentality made his shot vastly substandard. Directly a kick of anti-aircraft guns. Hit the plane, flew to the stands, and missed a great opportunity. This attack is like a microcosm of Bayern's whole game, the attack is simple, inefficient, and psychologically anxious. As time goes by, the confidence of Bayern players to win the game is slowly eroding. Among the Bayern players, there is one person who is particularly special in psychology, and that is Ballack. The winner of the famous Sanya king, he left Bayer Leverkusen to come to Bayern Munich in order to win the Champions League.

However, what he didn't expect was that Bayern had been almost always weak in Europe, in addition to maintaining their dominance in the domestic competition. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, an idea began to pop up in Ballack's heart that transferring to Bayern was a wrong decision, at least Bayern at this time could not give Ballack what he wanted. But he was not reconciled, and this season's Champions League ended here again. He wants to win, but that's not what Bayern can help him with at the moment.

In the 65th minute of the second half, after Ballack got Pizarro's return ball at the top of the penalty area, he used all his strength to rely on Lao Lei and directly hit the goal. However, this time his goal was still not completed, and Kostiani, who came over the circle, broke the ball at his feet again with Lao Lei, and did not give him a chance to shoot. At the same time that Lao Lei got the ball and turned around and began to counterattack, Ballack also fell to the ground under the bag, and he could only watch the back of Lao Lei accelerating away with the ball.

At this time, Lao Lei once again sacrificed his accurate long pass. McCarthy, who stepped forward, took the lead in controlling Lao Lei's pass, and then accelerated by himself and went directly into the Bayern penalty area. After attracting all the attention of the Bayern central defenders, McCarthy gave a knock back to Deco, who had stepped forward to assist. Unguarded, Deco scored with a push. The ball rolled past Kahn's feet, and he didn't have time to make a save.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! 2:0! Top 8, here we come!! There will be no more miracles! The German giant died in the dragon's lair!! We're going to the top 8!! Goodbye Bayern! Although the game is not over yet, the on-site commentators at the Dragon Stadium can't wait to sentence Bayern to death.

This goal made Ballack, who was still in the Bayern half, close his eyes in frustration.

Let Heathfield walk back to his place and sit down.

In the celebration of Lao Lei and his teammates, they sent away an era for Bayern.

Although the season is not over yet, Heathfield's Bayern era is officially over.

The excited Lao Lei suddenly became interested, came to the stands, and commanded the Porto fans to play a game of human waves.

In the stands of the Dragon Stadium, the blue and white sea set off huge waves.

It seems so unstoppable. (To be continued......)
