Green Field Eunuch

soon.
Both teams returned to the field.
At the start of the second half, Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack, but after several waves of attacks failed to achieve their goal, they stabilized their rhythm and launched attacks on Manchester City's goal by controlling the midfield and relying on the two flanks.
Heynckes did not make any major adjustments to the game.
For Bayern, scoring goals is important, but a solid defense is equally important. They dare not gamble anymore. Shan Yongzhuo is like a time bomb, leaving them with a great psychological shadow.
Bayern continued their steady approach, while Manchester City remained calm and composed.
The main reason is that Shan Yongzhuo is no longer impatient.
He had used up most of his skills, leaving only Iron Head and Water-Walking.
It's not easy to score a goal by relying on these two skills, so he can only wait for the right opportunity.
Ten minutes passed slowly like this.
Bayern Munich controlled the pace of the game at a leisurely pace, and their attacks were also unhurried, so Manchester City dared not push too far forward, and several of their attacks ended in failure.
Shan Yongzhuo is being targeted very severely.
In fact, Shan Yongzhuo's performance was not bad either. He frequently dropped back to receive the ball, which made him the focus of attention on the field, and the camera frequently pointed at him.
However, his teammates' support was not strong enough, so he had to rely on himself to get the ball.
Then they kept getting the ball stolen.
However, this also caused problems for Bayern's rhythm. They had to focus on defense and sent heavy troops to mark Shan Yongzhuo. Despite several successful interceptions, Manchester City's attacks were almost entirely focused on Shan Yongzhuo, occasionally passing the ball to Aguero. This made it difficult for Bayern to launch quick attacks to break through Manchester City's defense, even if they won the ball.
Time slips away second by second.
As the game progresses, the impact of the score becomes more significant.
Bayern Munich is in a hurry, as they are down by two goals, and at this score, they will lose to Manchester City and the Champions League final.
Losing the Champions League final for the second time in two years is a huge blow that they cannot accept.
Therefore, they had to do something.
When the game reached the 60th minute, without being reminded, Bayern's players proactively intensified their attack.
The two full-backs, Lahm and Contento, began to frequently push forward to assist in attacks, Robben and Ribery were also positioned far forward, and Müller also tried to move as far forward as possible, always lurking behind Gomez.
Even Kroos and Schweinsteiger tried to move forward, looking for an opportunity to make a long-range shot.
The situation has completely changed.
The pressure on Manchester City's defense immediately increased.
Now is the decisive moment.
If the score becomes 2-3, Bayern will still have a chance to equalize. Once the score is tied, the situation will be unpredictable.
Conversely, if Manchester City scores another goal at this point, making the score 4-1, then Bayern will have little chance left.
So, this is a life-or-death moment.
"Keep going, everyone! We have to hold on!"
Dan Yongzhuo was getting impatient. He knew his situation; it would be very difficult for him to score again under these circumstances. But he could only stand in front, looking for opportunities on one hand, and drawing the opponent's attention on the other, forcing them to focus on defense.
All he could do was encourage his teammates: "Come on, everyone hold on, pass the ball to me whenever you have a chance!"
When the game reached the 70th minute, Shan Yongzhuo also felt the difficulty of the match.
Bayern Munich's strength is indeed very strong, significantly stronger than Manchester City overall. Bayern completely controlled the midfield, preventing Manchester City from spreading out and forcing them to retreat and defend. At the same time, their defense also targeted Shan Yongzhuo, making it difficult for him to receive the ball up front. His teammates could only launch long balls towards him, but winning the ball back under such circumstances requires considerable skill.
The game has now reached a critical point, and both teams are gritting their teeth and holding on.
Mancini began to worry.
Although Manchester City were still in the lead, the situation on the field was very unfavorable for them. It was not surprising that they suddenly conceded a goal. In those ten minutes, Bayern had at least three very good chances, but Robben wasted one and Gomez wasted two.
Otherwise, the score would have changed long ago.
If Bayern scores a goal, the situation will become very unfavorable for Manchester City. With 20 minutes remaining, Bayern has a real chance to equalize.
Heynckes was also watching the game with a serious expression.
Compared to Mancini, he was more worried about the game because Bayern were still behind, and even if they pulled one back, they would still be one goal behind.
Currently, Bayern Munich's chances are actually much smaller than Manchester City's.
"Hopefully they can score soon..."
When Bayern launched their attack, Heynckes clenched his fists and shouted from the sidelines.
The allure of winning the Champions League is simply too great; even Jupp Heynckes, a seasoned manager accustomed to the ups and downs of the game, couldn't remain calm at this moment.
On the field, Bayern continued their relentless attack.
In the 73rd minute of the match, the situation finally changed.
Robben received the ball on the wing, played a one-two with Müller, got past David Silva, and then faced Clichy, Robben executed his signature cut-in shot.
The ball flew straight towards the near post, almost a certain goal.
But Joe Hart did the job!
Joe Hart faced Robben's extremely tricky shot from that angle, leaped into the air, and made a world-class save.
"Joe Hart! He did it! That save was spectacular, almost turning the impossible into the possible!"
“Oh no, Gomez….”
While the commentators were still marveling at Joe Hart's world-class saves, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Kompany's momentary lapse in concentration allowed Gomez to push past him, get to the ball's trajectory, and unleash a powerful shot.
Joe Hart was still on the ground, not yet up.
Gomez's shot was almost into an empty net, and despite Lescott's desperate rush, he ended up in the net with the ball.
Just a moment ago, everyone was marveling at Joe Hart's world-class save, and Bayern's goal was filled with regret.
But the next moment, the Allianz Stadium erupted as Gomez scored on the rebound.
Bayern fans erupted in wild celebration; they had waited far too long for this goal.
"Gomez! Mario Gomez!"
"He saved Bayern!"
"Bayern have pulled one back, but the game isn't over yet. Mario Gomez's goal has given Bayern renewed hope!"
"Now, Bayern are only one goal behind, and there are still 17 minutes left in the game. Anything is still possible!"
The German commentator was excitedly shouting. Just last time he was disappointed by Joe Hart's save, but now he was cheering wildly for Gomez's goal.
