Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 116 Falling behind lore 2
After the game restarted, Mainz's momentum reached its peak. Taking advantage of this momentum, Mainz launched a crazy attack. In the 79th minute of the game, Klopp replaced Petit, who was almost exhausted, and replaced it with the young Tulos.

However, Stuttgart's performance also fully demonstrated the tenacity of a strong team. Although Mainz's offense made Stuttgart somewhat embarrassed, it still withstood Mainz's offense and made Mainz return without success time and time again.

In the 81st minute of the game, after Chen Xiao broke through the defenses of two players on the right side, he made a quick turn around the baseline and found Di Natale who followed up in the middle. Unfortunately, Di Natale's header hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. Di Natale, who missed the goal, sighed.In less than ten games, Di Natale fell in love with this team. He felt very happy and simple playing in Mainz.

Although Klopp signaled the players to step up their offense, he still attached great importance to Stuttgart's counterattack, otherwise he would not replace Tulos, just to use Tulos' physical strength to constantly interfere with Stuttgart in the midfield so that the opponent's counterattack could not be played.

Despite this, Stuttgart's counterattack still made Mainz's defense break out in a cold sweat, and it also made the players who kept pressing forward a little restrained, and no longer attacked so unscrupulously.

In the 87th minute of the game, Stuttgart made a long pass from the backcourt and passed the ball directly to the hinterland of Mainz. Tulos, who had already got stuck in the best position and grabbed the ball, was careless for a moment. Gomez didn't let him take the ball comfortably, and Tulos behind him was ready to catch up. Seeing that he had no chance to move forward, Gomez volleyed directly from the penalty area line. Weize kept his attention. This time he finally blocked the opponent's shot. Weize directly blocked Gomez's shot, which was very stable!

Weize, who held the ball in his arms with both hands, got up quickly, and after observing the position of his teammates, Weize directly threw the ball to Albertini.

Through the system, Chen Xiao saw that Tulos's pass was completely deviated from the direction, so Chen Xiao quickly judged the real landing point of the ball, took the first step to get stuck in the best position, and leaned against his opponent who was closely marking him. After Chen Xiao stopped the ball with his chest, he suddenly kicked his left foot.

Chen Xiao, who easily passed his opponent, began to speed up and advance along the side. The full-backs in front of him kept retreating, while the opponent's defensive midfielder on one side focused on Chen Xiao's cutting and passing.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the opponent's encirclement, Chen Xiao advanced a few more steps, then suddenly stopped a few times and made an inside cut. Seeing that Chen Xiao was about to cut inside, the opponent had to make a move. Who knew that Chen Xiao dunked the ball with his left foot, and directly picked the ball past the opponent's back on the spot, while Chen Xiao overtook the ball from the outside, and then made a precise pass near the baseline.

Di Natale, who followed up in the middle, didn't miss another chance this time, and a powerful header directly smashed the ball into the goal in the air.

It was originally Stuttgart's offense, but when Wiese started to hold the ball firmly in his hands, it became Mainz's counterattack, and this counterattack was fast and hard, stabbing Stuttgart in the heart.

In the 89th minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines was already preparing to notify stoppage time, but at this time Mainz scored a lore goal by Di Natale.

3 to 2, Mainz took the lead for the first time.But this time the lead is fatal for Stuttgart.

Di Natale, who scored the goal, was very excited. He frantically ran to Chen Xiao's side and immediately hugged Chen Xiao. For Chen Xiao, a big boy who was only 18 years old, Di Natale had only been with him for more than a month, and he was very convinced of Chen Xiao. Players becoming teammates is every player's dream.

The game restarted, and there were more than 2 minutes of stoppage time before the end of the game. Stuttgart made a desperate attack on Mainz's backcourt like a cornered beast, but time was running out. If Stuttgart could play such a crazy attack earlier, maybe this game might have a different result.

Finally the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, followed by deafening applause and cheers from the fans of the home team Mainz. Mainz had the last laugh after a hard fight and won the game at their home court. With 04 points, Schalke 0 came out on top with 1 points, and Bayern came in third with 24 points.

Di Natale attended the post-match press conference for the first time after the game. At the press conference, Di Natale kept praising Chen Xiao. Di Natale said that he had found a long-lost sense of freedom in Mainz.

At this press conference, Klopp once again expressed his ambition for the Bundesliga championship this season. This time, no one thought that Klopp was daydreaming. With 12 rounds left in the league, Mainz’s ambition is still very likely to become a reality.

However, after the 24th round of the league, Mainz has to shift its focus to the UEFA Cup, because the second day after the end of the game against Stuttgart, the entire Mainz team flew to the Netherlands to prepare for an away game against Feyenoord in the second round of the UEFA Cup knockout round in three days.
