In the stands, Lyon fans were still talking, and the two teams had already finished guessing the winner.
In the first half, Laco attacked first, and Salman and Dujie stood in the center circle.
I have to say that Jimenez was very bold today.
In an away game, he did not play the balanced 4231, but played 442, which clearly showed that he wanted to take three points from Lyon!
The reason for being so bold is of course related to Laco’s grouping.
The other two teams in the group, Juventus and Manchester City, are both hard bones to chew!
In Jimenez’s view, the two games with Lyon are crucial to qualify from the death group.
If you can get all six points, there is a great hope of qualifying.
If you can only get four points, you have to fight to the end with the other two strong teams!
On the contrary, if you get two points, one point, or even no points, then in the death group, you will just sit and wait to die!
So no matter what, we must first gnaw on the soft bone of Lyon, and then deal with the remaining two hard bones.
Hubert Fournier also thought so on the Lyon side.
If they can’t beat La Coruna at home against a fourth-tier team, then forget about entering the top 16.
So Hubert Fournier played more boldly than Jimenez, and he directly arranged a 433 offensive formation.
Both sides wanted to hit the opponent with a fatal blow and get three points!
Therefore, this game was destined not to be boring.
“Beep!”
At the same time, with a loud whistle from the referee, Salman kicked the ball to Du Jie first, and then rushed to the backcourt of Lyon.
Du Jie did not hesitate and quickly followed with the ball.
There was no probing between the two sides, and they started with real swords and guns!
For a while, the offense and defense on the court were very fast.
La Coruna’s attack was interrupted, and Lyon players immediately counterattacked!
When their attack made mistakes, Laco did not hesitate to quickly use direct and long passes to launch a counterattack on the spot!
The offensive players of both teams worked very hard after the opening.
In the eighth minute of the game, Laco was organizing an attack, and Farina was dribbling the ball in the middle of the front court to seek opportunities.
Lyon’s 21-year-old young player, Corentin Tolisso, stepped forward to block.
This kid is an outstanding representative of Lyon’s youth training. In the future, he will break the Bundesliga transfer record with 41.5 million euros and be bought by Bayern!
Although he is young now, his defensive basic skills are very solid and his courage is fat!
Facing Farina, who is a few years older than him, he chose to attack and steal the ball accurately from Farina’s feet.
This is not over yet. Then he almost did not make any adjustments and kicked the ball directly to the front court.
The ball was passed beautifully, hitting Laco directly behind him, and the ball came to the left rib of Laco’s backcourt.
Lyon’s forward No. 10, Calazette, controlled the ball. Just as he was about to cut inside and rush into the penalty area, Van Dijk, who came from the middle to fill in, made a flying tackle and knocked the ball out of the baseline.
In the audience, there was applause from Laco fans.
Laco’s defense was strong, and Lyon was not afraid.
Van Dijk had just defended a ball, and Carrasco successfully broke through and passed the ball on the left. The ball flew into the Lyon penalty area, and Salman and Umtiti competed for it.
Salman, who has always been good at headers, was squeezed out of position by Umtiti at the moment of taking off.
Umtiti roared and fiercely cleared the ball out of the penalty area.
Lyon fans also cheered when they saw this.
Unknowingly, after more than 20 minutes of the first half, the rhythm of both sides flew, but no one could break the deadlock!
Jimenez and Fournier on the sidelines were very anxious, and the two paced back and forth.
The French fans, who were in an absolute dominant position, were all shouting loudly.
“Goal! Goal!”
At this moment, about 26 minutes into the first half, Lyon’s left winger Claudio Bove, a dark, fast-running little guy, rushed towards Su Wei’s defense with the ball.
Perhaps he had not played against Su Wei many times, or perhaps the young man was competitive.
This guy came in front of Su Wei, faked twice left and right, and actually wanted to choose to cut inside in front of Su Wei.
Facing such a jumping opponent, Su Wei certainly would not be polite.
He stretched out his foot at the right time and easily intercepted the ball. The little black mouse staggered and almost fell.
Su Wei ignored him and immediately passed the ball to Salmon in front of him, and then strode forward!
The Laco fans in the stands immediately understood this posture, Su Wei was going to make another forward assist!
Suddenly someone stood up and shouted: “Salmon, pass the ball quickly, pay attention to Su’s running position.”
Salmon has been working with Su Wei for more than half a year, so he certainly knows what Su Wei is going to do.
WaitLyon’s left midfielder Malbranque rushed over, Salmon immediately passed the ball, and after Su Wei received the ball, he instantly tore through Lyon’s midfield defense.
The only one who could stop Su Wei at this moment was Lyon’s left back N’Sami.
In the player tunnel, N’Sami vowed to teach Su Wei a lesson on the court.
Seeing Su Wei running at high speed with the ball, he panicked and rushed over in a hurry.
N’Sami is not like those ignorant young people. He will pay attention to La Liga when he has nothing to do. He knows that Su Wei’s assists on the wing are very powerful.
So he kept a close eye on Su Wei’s right foot to prevent him from overtaking on the outside.
But unexpectedly, Su Wei chose to flick the ball with his left foot and cut directly into the penalty area!
This made N’Sami confused, and at the same time he guessed that Su Wei was most likely a guy without a weak foot.
When he figured it out, Su Wei dribbled past him with his left foot and ran towards the penalty area line at high speed.
Lyon fans all stood up in horror when they saw this scene.
“Oh my God, he cuts in, don’t let him shoot! This kid’s long shot is weird, Barcelona and Real Madrid have suffered this loss! Stop him!”
“Damn it, Ensami, what are you doing? Don’t you know this kid has a long shot? You actually let him cut in so easily!”
Lyon fans shouted, Tolisso in the middle and Umtiti in the penalty area immediately threw their long legs and rushed to Su Wei’s side.
Facing the upcoming double-man press by Lyon players, Su Wei was very calm.
His dribbling level is definitely not enough to get rid of the joint defense of these two people. Now the best choice is to shoot or pass.
However, Umtiti is not far ahead of the shot. It is unlikely that this ball will activate the long-range shot skill. There must be no interference around.
Thinking of this, Su Wei made his next choice. This ball had to be passed, and it had to be passed beautifully, accurately, and ingeniously!
Just in the penalty area, Salman got rid of the entanglement of another central defender of Lyon and ran behind Umtiti very cleverly.
Su Wei immediately decided to trust the Cameroonian version of Mr. Lu and sent a surgical pass.
The ball arrived, and Salman also arrived!
Su Wei’s pass was very comfortable. After Salman touched the ball, he faced the goal directly.
Su Wei stood outside the penalty area, looking at Salman’s back, and murmured: “Brother has fed the cake into your mouth. If you dare to spit it out and learn from Benteke, I will kick your ass when I go back!”
