Chapter 158: Hard Battle with Bayern 3
The 15-minute break at halftime passed quickly.

Players from both sides returned to the court again, and Inter Milan did not choose to make substitutions.

On Bayern's side, Guardiola replaced Rafinha with Rod and Dante replaced Thiago.

Moreover, after Dante came on the field, he came to the central defender position, and Boateng came to the midfield. It seemed that Guardiola was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded at the last moment of the first half.

But soon after the game started Guardiola paid the price for his substitutions.

In his mind, Inter Milan will definitely still use defensive counterattack tactics in the second half, so he also arranges for the team to attack directly. Guardiola hopes to score again as soon as possible. Only by scoring one goal can he ensure the advantage.

At least suppress the opponent's morale, just like at the beginning of the first half.

However, when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Guardiola discovered that the opponent did not shrink the formation to defend and counterattack as he imagined, but instead launched a high-intensity high press in the midfield and frontcourt.

This completely disrupted Guardiola's arrangement during the halftime break.

And it is obvious that Bayern's players did not expect that their opponents would attack after the game started, so Bayern's midfielder and backfield made mistakes again at this time.

This mistake was caused by the joint efforts of Dabao and Guarin.

Boateng obviously still needs to adapt to his position in the second half, but at this time he received Muller's return pass, while Dabao and Guarin left their defensive midfielder positions and appeared in the forward position. When the two saw Boateng receiving the ball, they also stepped forward and surrounded him.

This pressing made Boateng a little flustered, and hurriedly wanted to pass the ball back to the central defender behind him, but the ball was kicked, and the football did not fly to Badstuber, but to where Dante was. direction.

It was obvious that Dante was not prepared for the ball. He was stunned for a few seconds when the football flew toward him. He didn't react until his teammates shouted and rushed forward.

But it was too late at this time. Icardi got the ball first, and because Dante was slow to react, he pounced too hard when he rushed forward. Icardi turned around and got rid of him.

This time Bayern's defense finally exposed a fatal flaw.

Guardiola on the sidelines jumped his feet angrily. He didn't expect that his substitution not only had no effect, but exposed his goal.

Seeing that Icardi was about to enter the penalty area, Badstuber had no choice but to rush towards Icardi, but it was obvious that Icardi was waiting for him. After seeing the opponent move, Icardi Cardi made a cross pass. When Kovacic received the ball, he took advantage of it and followed up with a volley.

Although Neuer judged the right direction, the ball was too fast, so he could only watch the football go into the goal.

2 to 2, in the 48th minute of the game, Inter Milan equalized the score.

After scoring, Kovacic waved to Dabao and Icardi, and then the three hugged each other tightly.

The tens of thousands of Bayern fans in the audience suddenly felt as if someone had strangled their necks, and their voices were completely silenced. Some people may not have even reacted.

There were only cheers from less than [-] Inter Milan fans left at the scene.

Mazzarri got excited and knelt down on the sidelines, then stood up and kept pumping his fists.

This ball immediately put Bayern on the edge of the cliff.The entire first half's efforts were in vain, and Inter Milan also had the advantage of away goals.

With the current score, even if Bayern scores two goals, it will be useless. The current score requires Bayern to lead Inter Milan by three goals to ensure promotion, and the premise is that Bayern stops conceding goals.

On the court, Dante and Boateng were sitting on the ground with their heads lowered, not daring to look in the direction of Guardiola on the sidelines. They both knew that the goal conceded was a real gift from their side to their opponents.

Neuer also sat helplessly in front of the goal. He never imagined that he had already scored five goals against Inter Milan in two games.

If someone told him this before the game, he would never believe it.

At this time, the referee on the court also stepped forward to stop the Inter Milan players from celebrating and urged them to return to their positions. Then the referee blew the whistle to restart the game.

Guardiola on the sidelines was also a little anxious and kept gesturing forward to the players on the court.

Mazzarri is also arranging players to warm up.

After 5 minutes, Inter Milan chose to make a substitution.

Mazzarri replaced Osvaldo with a defensive midfielder, obviously a signal to hold on.

Sure enough, after the game started, the entire Inter Milan formation retracted very sharply. Even Icardi, who was in front of the front, retreated to participate in the defense. On the other hand, Bayern's two central defenders gradually retreated as time went by. They were all standing near the center circle, and the two full-backs Rhodes and Bernat directly crossed the center line.

It's just that there are too many people, especially the key defensive targets, like Muller and Lewandowski, as soon as they get the ball, there are at least two double-teams around them.

And more importantly, as time goes by, the situation of the game becomes increasingly unfavorable to Bayern.

Although it seems that the offensive momentum is very strong and there are many shots, the threat that can actually be brought to Handanovic is very little.

After entering the 75th minute, many people chose long-range shots.

Most of the shots shot in an impatience mood flew out of the baseline.

Bayern, which has an overall dominance in terms of statistics, has become increasingly dangerous. Many people paying attention to this game did not expect that the series between the two sides would reach this result.

However, God still seemed to want to give Bayern a chance. In the 84th minute of the game, Muller became very impatient after being unable to attack from the outside for a long time. He blindly fired a long-range shot like a vent, but it hit the target midway. On Dicky's outstretched leg, a football that was supposed to fly out of the baseline changed its flight path and flew into the goal under Handanovic's helpless gaze.

3 to 2, in the 84th minute of the game, Bayern once again broke through Inter Milan's goal.

This goal also made Bayern, which was originally a little desperate, seem to see hope again.

Although there is less than 15 minutes left in the time plus stoppage time, there may be hope for two goals, but three goals is really disappointing.
