Chapter 108

In the locker room of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Karl looked at his disciples with a smile on his face. Karl was very satisfied to lead Bayern in the away game. Now Bayern is in a hurry. Borussia Mönchengladbach just need to continue to calmly implement the tactics of the first half.

In Bayern's locker room, Hitzfeld looked at his disciples with a gloomy face. Bayern seemed to have taken the initiative in the first half, but they failed to turn the offensive into a victory. On the contrary, Borussia Mönchengladbach seized two opportunities. If this continues, the prospect of the league is not optimistic.

"Everyone knows how the game was in the first half. Our opponent is not so easy to deal with. It seems that we have underestimated the enemy. The opponent's ability to seize opportunities is better than ours, so in the second half we must strengthen the grab in front of the goal and increase some high balls in the penalty area. And now that he has a yellow card on his back, he will inevitably worry about gains and losses on the field, and I think this is also an important point for us to open up the situation."

After 15 minutes, players from both sides returned to the court, and the 45 minutes of the second half began.

Borussia Mönchengladbach got the chance to control the ball after the opening. Shunsuke Nakamura continued to control the ball and cooperated with his teammates. Nick felt that there was a lot to do, so he also rushed forward and decided to teach Bayern a lesson.

Nick and Shunsuke Nakamura also learned Bayern's tactics. They surrounded Effenberg, and Li Yihuan and Eto'o also attracted a lot of Bayern's troops. This forced Ballack to return to defense to help Effenberg intercept Nick and Shunsuke Nakamura.

But just when Ballack just ran behind Nick, Nick had already passed the ball into the penalty area. This accurate pick directly hit Jankel's big bald head.

Yankel's header was powerful, and the ball was flying fast. It was about to fall into the net, but Kahn's figure flashed, and then he jumped up and hit the ball with one hand.

With a 'bang', the ball was hit by Kahn, and then hit the crossbar hard and flew out of the baseline!

Riedel was very excited and explained: "Oh my god, Oliver's performance is really wonderful. Such a tricky shot can be saved. Now it's time for the head coach of the national team to have a headache. In the European Cup finals next year, who should Erich choose as the main goalkeeper?"

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"

Jankel covered his eyes with some regret. If the goal had been scored, he would have disgraced Bayern's top brass even more. Unfortunately, the goal was actually saved by Kahn.

Nick came over and patted Yankel and said: "Carsten, it's okay, you have done a good job of making the opponent make such an embarrassing save. Next, we will put more pressure on the opponent."

"Captain, you're right. I won't be discouraged. I must give Bayern some color." Yankel immediately returned to his true colors as a devilish muscular man, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Shunsuke Nakamura then took a corner kick, Jankel nodded the ball forward, and Metzelder, who was ambushing behind the point, relayed the header, and the ball slammed hard towards Bayern's goal.

But Kahn once again appeared in a key position, opening his whole body, coiling in front of the goal like a spider, subconsciously poking the ball out with his fingertips.

"Oh, oh, buy, buy, buy, buy! Oliver showed his power again and saved such a close-range header. He was possessed by the devil's spirit today. Borussia Mönchengladbach failed to expand the score. There will definitely be more unexpected results in this game. Let's wait and see!" Riddle just took a sip of water to relieve his thirst caused by his over-excited commentary, but seeing Kahn's wonderful save, Riddle couldn't help but roared again.

The Bayern players all rushed over and clashed passionately with Kahn. In their view, Kahn's performance was absolutely phenomenal. He was Bayern's last safety lock, which most people couldn't pry open.

Nick was also a little impressed by Kahn today. This guy reacted too quickly. This kind of shot was so close at hand. Kahn threw it completely on conditional fire, otherwise Borussia Mönchengladbach would have taken a big lead.

"Come on, come on!" Nick slapped his hands fiercely to encourage his teammates. When Bayern's morale was high, Borussia Mönchengladbach couldn't be discouraged. If they could go all out and make another victory, the result of this game should not be bad.

Shunsuke Nakamura changed the direction to take a corner kick, Nick also ran over, whispered something to Shunsuke Nakamura, Shunsuke Nakamura nodded again and again.

The ball flew up again, but the ball no longer landed in the penalty area, but drew a high throw arc and flew towards the top of the penalty area.

Nick was standing there. The ball's landing point was unexpected for the Bayern stars. They could only watch as Nick made a volley shot. The ball roared through the crowded penalty area and appeared in front of the goal!

"Can you still throw this ball?" Nick stared at the goal coldly, thinking that the score was 1:3, but a pair of hands rushed over again, and it turned out that both hands hit the ball hard, and the ball changed direction and flew out of the baseline.

"Oh oh oh, buy Karka Kaocaia, Kaba Ka, buy Karma!" Ridel was surprised and spoke on a consecutive unbelievable sigh, which was a bit unknown how to express it.

Kahn's ferocious face was like a gorilla's, beating his chest vigorously, Kahn was the first to save Nick's explosive shot, of course he was very excited.

However, Kahn still felt that his fists were hot, obviously hurt by Nick's strength, but now is the time when the morale of the team is up, Kahn has to grit his teeth and persist even if his hand is broken.

Nick looked at Kahn with a slightly changed expression. In terms of physical strength, Kahn is not the best goalkeeper in Germany, but in terms of his reaction ability in front of the goal and his charisma to the team, Kahn is definitely the top. This is why Kahn was named the best player in the 02 World Cup.

"Damn, I met the lion king in the best condition today." Nick cursed fiercely in his heart.

After Borussia Mönchengladbach's fourth corner kick was taken, Kahn took the ball directly from Jankel's head, and then launched a throwing attack with lightning speed, and the ball flew directly to the feet of the Brazilian star Elber in the middle circle.

Immediately after Elber got the ball, he poked his toe, and one man passed the ball past Friedrich. Only Mateus was left in Borussia's defense line.

Facing the robbed Mateus, Elber flicked his ankle. The powerful explosive force made Elber miss Mateus, and then accelerated his feet, about to kill Mönchengladbach's penalty area.

Mateus stretched out his hand in despair, and Elber fell down.

"Red card! Red card!"

"Damn it, the ball was fouled. This is an excellent opportunity to tie the score!"

"Lothar, how the hell can you ruin such a wonderful counterattack so rudely?"

The Bayern fans yelled and completely forgot how much honor Matthaus had brought to Bayern.

The referee ran over, took out the red card decisively, and directly sent Matthaus off. Although Bayern did not score a goal, they got a free kick 30 meters away from the goal and a 11-to-10 advantage.

Karl shook his head off the court, obviously a little dissatisfied with Matthaus' foul. At this time, one less player is much more dangerous than leading by a goal. With Bayern's offensive strength, Borussia Mönchengladbach can only passively choose substitutions.
