Today, there were some changes in the starting lineup of Munich 1860. Walker and Rukavina at the right back position both had colds and went straight to the game without coming to Mainz.

Originally, Tong Yi planned to let Nacho start.

Nacho is a jack-of-all-trades in the midfield and backfield. He can play in all positions on the defensive line and even as a defensive midfielder. He is a rare talent. Tong Yi likes Zhang Linpeng very much, but Zhang Linpeng's condition has been very good these days, so Tong Yi chose Zhang Linpeng in this game.

Even though Zhang Linpeng hasn't played many games this season, his progress is very obvious.

Zhang Linpeng has been with Campbell, Hamann, Vieri, Klose and Nagelsmann this season. With the words and deeds of these people, Zhang Linpeng's strength has improved really quickly.

Now Zhang Linpeng may not be able to play the main role in Munich 1860, or even rotate, but he can still get some opportunities to play in Munich 1860.

This season, he should be able to get opportunities to play in about 10 games.

Don't underestimate these 10 games. For Zhang Linpeng, who has just come to Europe, this is already very good.

Moreover, Zhang Linpeng also felt that the club still valued him very much, otherwise it would not have put so much effort into cultivating him and letting so many people surround him to improve his abilities.

Zhang Linpeng was naturally very grateful, and he was also very desperate during training.

In the past few games, Zhang Linpeng has performed well. So far, he has given out 4 assists.

This is pretty cool.

And what this guy has shown on defense is also very good.

His physical fitness is very good, his reactions are very fast, his speed is not satisfactory, and his footwork is acceptable after training. Now he goes to a mid-lower Bundesliga team to play as a starter and the latter is a rotation player. Otherwise, no matter how good Zhang Linpeng is, Tong Yi will not let him start in this game.

When Tuchel saw Zhang Linpeng starting, he felt that this was Munich 1860's weakness in this game. In this game, Mainz 05 focused on attacking Zhang Linpeng's right wing, tearing apart Munich 1860's defense from Zhang Linpeng and winning.

But after the game started, Tuchel found that this was simply impossible.

Because they don't have many chances in Mainz 05.

The strength gap between the two sides is still somewhat obvious.

Mainz 05 was suppressed by Munich 1860 in its own half for a long time and was tired of defense.

Shou. Even when attacking Munich 1860, most of the attacks in the half were long passes. The accuracy could not be guaranteed and the offensive efficiency could not be improved.

Therefore, after playing for twenty minutes, Mainz 05 only got one shot opportunity.

And this time the attack did not come from the left, but from the center. Sauroy's shot went directly over the crossbar, without threatening Ter Stegen.

Munich 1860's defense on the right side is very stable, and they seem to have made targeted arrangements. It is obvious that someone is helping Zhang Linpeng in defense. Therefore, Munich 1860's defense is obviously tighter than that on the left side.

When Tuchel saw this, he secretly said that he had been deceived by Tong Yi.

This guy Tong Yi is really cunning!

Tuchel felt that when Tong Yi sent Zhang Linpeng, he used Zhang Linpeng as a cover to seduce Mainz 05 to attack this seemingly obvious weakness. In fact, this guy Tong Yi has already laid a dragnet for Mainz 05 here, and he just stared at them and plunged into it.

So far in the game, Mainz 05 have really dug in. Their offense has been completely restricted, and not a single splash has emerged.

hiss!

cunning!

This guy Tong Yi is too cunning, and of course too powerful!

Tuchel's game was planned to death by this guy Tong Yi. Tuchel was taken advantage of.

Zhang Linpeng This is the bait used by Tong Yi for fishing!

And he Tuchel became a fish.

Tuchel couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Tong Yi on the other side, his eyes sharp. This guy Tong Yi can bring him a lot of new things and new impacts every time he plays. Tong Yi is really a very thoughtful head coach with his own characteristics.

Awesome, really awesome!

What's more important is that this guy Tong Yi is still so young!

Sure enough, God is unfair.

However, in this game, Tuchel cannot give up so easily.

You, Tong Yi, are great, and I, Tuchel, am not bad either.

Just when Tuchel was about to make adjustments, Munich 1860 scored.

Tuchel was stunned on the spot, in disbelief.

This ball was intercepted by Zhang Linpeng from the right wing. He directly passed the ball diagonally and quickly sent the football to the feet of Witsel in the center.

Nainggolan has a rest today, and Witsel is in the starting lineup.

Witsel also performed very well today, even more active than De Bruyne next to him. Today, more of Munich 1860's attacks were organized by Witsel.

So much so that it made the Mainz 05 players very uncomfortable.

Because before the game, Tuchel asked De Bruyne to defend tightly and not give De Bruyne any chance. And they have done this, and it seems to be doing very well so far. Because De Bruyne took the ball very few times in this game and almost did not participate in the organization of the offense.

At first, the Mainz 05 people thought this was the reason for their successful defense, but now they can see it. This has nothing to do with their defense. The core organizer of Munich 1860's game is not De Bruyne at all, but Witsel.

They were deceived!

By this time, Tuchel had also reacted.

His face was ashen!

At this time, he suddenly found that he was like a fool, being played by Tong Yi, a soft-hearted man, and he had not yet reacted, and he was even a little complacent.

He thought that his defense and restraint restricted Munich 1860's offensive core, but he didn't know that they had replaced the offensive core early, which had nothing to do with their defense. .??.

Damn this bastard!

You are so cunning!

very angry!

However, nothing can be done.

Because Munich 1860 has already scored a goal.

After receiving the ball, Witsel quickly took two steps forward with the ball. When he saw the defensive player rushing towards him, he immediately pushed the football to the side. Then he quickly rushed past the Mainz 05 defensive player, and took advantage of the football passed by Sandro from the wing.

Two over one!

After Witsel passed the opponent's defensive ball, he immediately passed the football to Perisic who was running forward from the wing. After passing the football, Witsel did not wait where he was, but quickly followed and came to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Perisic caught up with the ball and pushed Mainz 05's defense very close to the bottom line.

Then Perisic pretended to pass the ball, but actually passed the football to Witsel in the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Mainz 05's defensive players were shocked, especially the defensive players in the penalty area. They immediately turned around in panic and rushed towards Witsel to block Witsel's long shot.

Witsel pretended to take a long shot, rounded his right leg and gently blocked it, then knocked the football diagonally into the penalty area.

The football rolled directly into the unguarded Costa in the Mainz 05 penalty area. Costa directly kicked and swept the football towards the far lower corner of the goal.

The goal-loving Vitcollo reacted quickly, but he did not touch the ball.

The football flew into Mainz 05's goal without any suspense.

In the 29th minute of the game, Munich 1860 broke through Mainz 05's goal, and Costa scored the goal. The Munich 1860 fans who came from afar were very happy

With excitement and excitement, they finally took the lead. They were sure to win this game.

Klopp and Heynckes in front of the TV couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

This damn Tong Yi is really too cunning and powerful. In this game, Tuchel was completely manipulated by Tong Yi!

To be honest, they didn't expect that this guy Tong Yi would be so bold.

In such an important game, Tong Yi dared to send a player who rarely played football as a bait, and also boldly replaced the offensive playmaker. This guy Tong Yi is really incredibly brave.

Isn't Tong Yi afraid of overturning?

Anyway, if it were them, they wouldn't dare to play this trick in such an important game.

Change the team's offensive core?

Thinking about it, they all thought that this guy Tong Yi was crazy, and only a madman could do such a thing.

It was also because of this that Tuchel did not realize that Munich 1860 had changed its offensive core. He always thought that his targeted defensive arrangement had an effect, preventing De Bruyne from getting any chances.

This guy Tong Yi is really scheming!

Klopp gasped. Who did Tong Yi learn these damaging moves from? He had never learned such a trick from Frank, and Frank had never used such a damaging trick. This Tong Yi is really difficult to deal with, he is a genius.

After seeing this goal, Klose and Heynckes both realized there was trouble.

The road to the Bundesliga championship this season will be even more difficult. Who knows what tricks this cunning Chinese will come up with?

At this time, Tuchel was even more annoyed!

What to do next?

Now he has figured out the routine of Munich 1860, but if he wants to make adjustments, he must overturn all the technical and tactical arrangements he made before the game and make them again. But it was too late now. He could only hope that the team could hold on, survive this half, try not to lose the ball, and then return to the locker room to make adjustments for the second half of the game.

However, to Tuchel's despair, Munich 1860 scored again.

This time, Munich 1860's offensive routine was relatively simple. After continuously passing the ball in the midfield, they passed the football to the wing. Perisic on the wing made a direct pass, but unfortunately his footwork was a little off, preventing Costa in the center and the defending defenders from grabbing the ball. The ball leaked directly to the back point, benefiting Griezmann at the back point.

Griezmann directly faced the ball and pushed the ball forward, pushing the football into Mainz 05's goal.

Two to zero!

At the end of the first half, Munich 1860 expanded the score.

Tuchel was instantly desperate.
