Don't be naive.
A frog at the bottom of a well only ever sees a tiny patch of sky.
This match was just like that.
Mainz gathered all their strength, gave it their all, thinking they could stop Bayern's attack.
Little did they know, it only took Bayern a few minutes to crush Mainz.
"Let's call it here. We still have to travel to Romania mid-week to play the Bucharest Star Team. Let's let our players conserve some energy. Make the substitutions!"
...
Following Klinsmann's order, Bayern made two substitutions within a short span of three minutes.
Italian international Oddo came on for Lair.
Tim Borowski replaced Schweinsteiger.
The match was only in its 70th minute, yet Bayern had already made two substitutions, using up all their slots early.
Even though Bayern was controlling the game on the pitch, and even though Mainz was trailing 0-3, this was still hard to accept.
But the difference in strength between the two sides was just too vast!
