Chapter 136 Finals
There are still 10 minutes before the official start of the game, and the players of both sides have followed the referee out of the channel.

Judging from the players who played, both sides have sent their strongest lineup.

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone. I'm Huang Jianxiang. I'm very glad that you are watching the UEFA Cup final brought to you by CCTV [-]. Both sides are from the Bundesliga. They are Mainz and Bayern Munich. Today's game will be explained by Hao Haidong and I. Players from both sides have already entered the field. Now, please Haidong introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Okay, fans and friends, today's game can be said to have touched the hearts of many people in European football. Just now you have seen that the stands can be said to be a gathering of heroes, so let's take a look at how the two famous Bundesliga young coaches arranged their starting lineups today? From the list of lineups we got, both sides have sent their own lineups that should be considered the strongest this season. There is no surprise in Mainz's lineup. The double midfielders of Albertini and Petit have a second spring in Mainz this season. Klinsmann also chose their strongest lineup for Bayern, with goalkeeper Kahn, the defense led by Lucio, double midfielders Ballack and Schweinsteiger, and striker Santa Cruz. This lineup is the most used by Klinsmann in the second half of the Bundesliga."

"Well, now everyone has seen that players from both sides have already stood in their positions, waiting for the start of the game."

All the players on the field are waiting for the referee's whistle.

The game finally started. Mainz, who participated in the UEFA Cup final for the first time, made up their minds from the very beginning to use offense to suppress Bayern. Bayern Munich kicked off first.

Seeing the players on the field follow the tactics he arranged, Klopp has been standing on the sidelines and walking back and forth. He looked at the running positions of the Bayern players on the field, and Klopp felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that Klinsmann seemed to have expected such a tactic.

Although Bayern's players were somewhat suppressed by Mainz's offensive on the field, Bayern's players have much more experience in competitions than Mainz. Although all the players are currently suppressed in the half-court, the entire defense and midfield handling of the ball have not been disturbed at all.

The Mainz fans in the stands kept singing the team song and waving the team flag to cheer for their team.

The many stars in the box who came to watch the game were also shocked by Mainz's offensive. No one thought that Mainz would adopt such a tactic when facing Bayern. Many people felt that Klopp's choice was too risky.

"I think this coach is a risk-taking coach. If Bayern seizes the opportunity to counterattack at this time, it will be a big trouble." Wenger and Ferguson, two old enemies, sat together.

"This is a double-edged sword." Ferguson rarely agrees with Wenger.

In the 14th minute of the game, Chen Xiao used his personal ability on the right to break through Deisler and Lizarazu in a row, and then made a low cross near the baseline. Di Natale followed up in the middle with a shot from close at hand, but Kahn, who played well, directly saved the ball.

When Di Natale shot, the fans of Mainz were all ready to celebrate the goal in the stands. Who knew that Kahn would be in such a good state.

All the fans in the stadium were shaken, and there were bodies leaning forward and backward in the stands.

Di Natale patted himself on the forehead dejectedly. He would definitely score this ball ten times.

Troshovsky took a corner kick, and Troshovsky sent the ball directly to Di Natale in the middle, but this time Di Natale did not grab the first point, but was pushed out by Lucio, but the ball he pushed out happened to be caught by Chen Xiao at the top of the arc.

Pettit made a follow-up shot, but the ball hit Quaresma and bounced off the baseline, leaving him depressed and speechless.

This continuous attack made the Mainz players on the field even more excited, and the subsequent offensive was even more violent. From the 15th to the 25th minute, Mainz took an average of one shot every 2 minutes. Bayern's goal looked jittery, and in the eyes of the fans, it seemed that the goal was about to be broken at any time. .

It seemed that Mainz would be able to break the balance on the field in the next few minutes, but when everyone in Mainz was looking forward to breaking the Bayern goal, Bayern hit the first counterattack after the opening. Kovac got the ball from the backcourt and made a long pass to find Deisler. Deisler dribbled the ball forward from the side.

The players of Mainz chased back from the opponent's half like the tide of the sea. Deisler's dribbling speed was relatively fast, and his personal skills were also good. He easily got rid of the defense of Mainz's full-backs.

Deisler directly gave the ball to Schweinsteiger in the middle near the penalty area line, and then Schweinsteiger passed the ball back to Ballack who was inserted behind. At this time, Ballack looked up. He was about 40 meters away from the goal, and then he volleyed vigorously. Like a shooting star, the football drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew directly to the dead corner of the goal.

Weiser never thought that Ballack would shoot from such a long distance. He didn't realize it was a shot until the ball had flown more than ten meters in the air. It was too late for him to fly to make a save, and the football went straight into the dead corner of the goal.

1 to 0, the game progressed to the 29th minute, Bayern took the lead.

The Mainz fans who were singing and dancing in the stands suddenly lost their voices. Only the screams and applause of Bayern fans remained in the stadium. Many stars in the box also applauded Bayern's goal, because Ballack's goal was indeed very wonderful.

"Okay, now Mainz is in big trouble, and this game is going to be difficult." Wenger shook his head and said.

Ferguson next to him didn't speak, but it could be seen from his face that he still agreed with Wenger's words.
