Chapter 745 38 An Ominous Premonition

Pjanic's shot is very good, because if you want to shoot such a cross ball from a long distance, it is difficult to control the direction of the ball. It requires accurate judgment of the landing point, and the position of the foot must also be accurate. However, Pjanic It was done, and the shot with the outside of the instep was powerful and spinning. The most amazing thing is that this shot actually broke Juninho's true pass.

Juninho's drop ball is very famous. Pjanic's shot is the arc of the outside instep plus a drop. His angle is not tricky, but Kameni's height disadvantage is highlighted here, and the ball goes over his His hand immediately dropped, almost grazing the crossbar and entering the net.

Regardless of Hugo's presence, Aulas raised his hands in celebration.

He looked back a little embarrassed, "Look, a perfect shot! Gigi, you also saw what a great young man he is!"

Aulas reluctantly praised Pjanic, and Hugo was a little stunned. He actually knew the difficulty of this ball better than Aulas. Pjanic's hitting place was almost thirty meters away from the goal, and Pjanic was Nic can only be regarded as a rush shot. Schweinsteiger's defense was still in place. He had already stretched out his legs and almost intercepted the ball. Maybe a little later, Pjanic didn't even have a chance. .

Moreover, Hugo has been a coach. Even on the training ground, it is not easy to hit such a shot. However, this long-range shot is great, but Hugo knows that there are still 6 points left to rely on luck. , it’s not easy just to get through Trapani’s defense.

But the trajectory of the ball avoided them.

"He is indeed a good boy!" Facing the friendly Aulas, Hugo did not argue, but exaggerated Pjanic. After watching for a few minutes, Trapani felt a little cowardly, but Hugo believed that this was only temporary. , the players warmed up, and they will definitely not be suppressed by Lyon like this again.

Hugo's prediction was absolutely correct. After all, in terms of strength, Trapani was not even a hair higher than Lyon. In the first few minutes, everyone's bodies were not yet warm. By now, their bodies were warmed up. , coupled with Lyon's goal, Trapani's players began to pay more and more attention to this game, their concentration and physical fitness improved, and Lyon's life became difficult.

First of all, Trapani's midfielder quickly calmed down and helped the team control the rhythm. Pjanic and their two midfield teammates were obviously different from Mascherano, Bastian Schweinsteiger and There is a gap in Kaka's midfield. Pjanic is similar to an attacking midfielder and is far away from the backcourt, but Mascherano is a defensive midfielder and is closer to the backcourt. Pirlo and Alonso have confirmed this The energy of an organizational midfielder is more conducive to backcourt organization and ground attack.

Trapani's players were in a very stable mood, and the unexpected loss of the ball did not cause them panic. Mascherano quickly helped the team control the situation. The court was like a battlefield. Bielsa didn't like being useless. He controls the ball, but under the general trend, he also has to learn to accept some points. Controlling the ball is conducive to wearing down the opponent's will.

Secondly, Trapani began to threaten Lyon in front of the gate.

After taking control of the situation, Trapani decided to try a slower pace, but Lyon made a wrong move. Their pressing was very fierce, and sometimes there was some vacuum in the midfield. Trapani relied on the players in the team to With his passing ability, he penetrated the midfield line three times, and these three times brought threats to Lyon. Lloris began his performance, first using his fingertips to deflect Suarez's header, and then He also used a perfect and stretched saving action to deny Henry's arc shot on the left side of the penalty area.

Hugo felt pain when he touched his forehead, and the ominous premonition before the game came to his mind again. This Lloris must be too strong, he performed superbly.

At this time, twenty minutes of game time had passed. At this time, Poole seemed to have woken up from a dream, and began to ask his team to give up the high position press and shrink his defense line.

Poole will not give up the offense easily. Lisandro Lopez, Delgado, and Govou are all very fast. Now he has adjusted his formation into a defensive counterattack tactic.

The snow fell on the court. There is no geothermal system in the Gerland Stadium. The condition of the court cannot be said to be particularly bad, but it will definitely affect the performance of a team like Trapani that pays attention to ground passing and cutting. It was good to play for more than 20 minutes. With the ball, Lyon gradually regained some momentum, and the game between the two sides fell into an anxious situation. Until the end of the first half, Trapani failed to equalize the score.

The words "reluctance" were written all over the faces of Messi and other players. Messi received a special greeting today. Poole specially set up marking tactics for him. Then today started coldly, but later he was not cold anymore. The field started to be bad again, the ball was too slippery, and Messi was not as quick as before in controlling the ball. , and at the end of the first half, Messi's ankle was sprained while dribbling the ball, but he didn't say that he didn't want to leave the game at all.

Returning to the locker room at midfield, Messi was examined by the team doctor. It was not a big problem for him to be able to continue playing. However, in such a playing environment, the doctor suggested that he reduce the time of dribbling the ball as much as possible. Everyone knows that the venue is slippery. It's very dangerous. Messi can only accept this opinion. He doesn't want to add more injuries to the problem and make the problem more serious than the gain is worth the loss.

Bielsa actually thinks that Messi can leave the game. His starting point is for insurance. Every game in the second half of the season is important. Bielsa naturally does not want to lose this trump card in his hand. His bench is also relatively sufficient and fully replaced. Messi.

Messi insisted, and Bielsa couldn't dampen Messi's enthusiasm. The team doctor simply treated Messi's injury.

Hugo and Aulas were still chatting and laughing in the stands, but Hugo admired Lyon in his heart. The situation on the field was that Lyon temporarily led 1:0. Although this lead seemed to be somewhat accidental, with bad weather conditions, Trapani's bad luck, and missed opportunities, Lyon generally deserved this score. They didn't pose much threat, and only had two shots on target, but there were a few times that scared Hugo's heart.

Lyon's defense became stable in the last ten minutes of the first half. You know, a team that made Real Madrid lose and couldn't score a goal, how could its defense be bad? Hugo's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

After the halftime break, the second half of the game started. Lyon was not weak. The victory in the first half boosted the morale of Lyon. Trapani was a technical school. Poole realized that the team not only needed the help of the team's weather, but also had to be tough. In the midfield, his mobilization made the Lyon players want to eat Trapani's players after they came on the court.

Trapani's players wanted to grab the start of the second half and wanted to launch a fierce attack on the opponent after the opening. Unfortunately, Lyon in the second half was not as obedient as in the first half. They moved forward and put the focus of defense outside the penalty area instead of inside the penalty area. In addition, they were obviously deliberately using physical confrontation and used tactical fouls to stop Trapani's advancement.

Trapani didn't have a high point. In the first half, Suarez's flexibility on the front line made Chris and Boumsong suffer a little. But in the second half, these two guys adapted to Suarez's rhythm, and Trapani's midfield was blocked very tenaciously, so Suarez didn't seem to have any power.

Lyon committed a lot of fouls, and Hugo couldn't help complaining to Aulas that your team was too rough.

"Your team is obviously stronger than my team, I don't deny it! There are not so many reasons on the court. The way to win is the good way, and the coach who can win the game is a good coach!" Aulas didn't care and laughed. He was in a very good mood.
