"Lyon's deadliest weakness is in their midfield. ”

In the training base of Saint-Germain Leon in the western suburbs of Paris, Gao Han watched the live TV broadcast of the Champions League and directly pointed out the weakness of the Lyon team.

With this match in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, he is even more sure of this.

"This summer, Lyon sold the team's number one midfielder Tulalang to Malaga, which certainly made Lyon receive a large transfer fee, but it has never been effectively solved in the midfield position. ”

Makelele on the side nodded: "Lyon brought in Gaida Fofana from Le Havre for 1.8 million euros, this player who is only 20 years old is the main international player in the World Youth Championship in France, and has extraordinary potential, and together with Lacazette, who was promoted by Garde, he is known as the backbone of Lyon in the next few years." ”

"That's right. Gao Han smiled appreciatively at Makelele, the Frenchman knows the Ligue 1 game well.

"Fofana has played well this season, but his defense in the midfield is relatively thin, his tackling ability is not strong, and he is better at passing and controlling the play, which is probably why Gald likes him, but Lyon's midfield has become lacking in thickness and defensive ability, especially in the back position, Fofana has a poor sense of position and is easy to be used. ”

When Paris Saint-Germain played Lyon, Galde's team was completely overwhelmed by the alpine team.

"It's true, in Ligue 1 or in the Champions League, the opponents encountered are not strong, Lyon's problem can be covered up, but in the strong dialogue, Lyon's problem is very obvious. ”

Zidane said this, and the conversation changed, "But Gald is also prepared for this game, and his tactics are well designed." ”

Gao Han glanced at Zidane, and laughed, he could see this layer, Zidane's eyes were still very sharp.

"You're right, the tactics are to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and the same is true of Garde's game, he didn't go to Gonalong, but chose Gourcuff, just to eat Chinatown at home, and arrange Bryander to play on the right side, which is the best proof. ”

Zidane looked thoughtful, "You mean, there is a problem with such an arrangement?"

'No, no problem, as it turned out, he worked, scoring in the opening eight minutes. ”

"But you just said ......"

"Yes. Gao Han nodded, "The opening goal gave them the opportunity to win the first opportunity, and it also upset Chinatown, but then a new problem arose, that is, Bryander's defense on the right side was not active, he used to play in the middle of the forward line, and he didn't need to defend back, but the right winger position is needed, especially against Chinatown." ”

When Zidane and Makelele heard this, they suddenly realized.

"Garde has a good set of targeted defense, but he is the first time to coach alone, I guess he may not be aware of his problem, or rather, he is aware of it, but he wants to score another goal, so he has never moved the two positions of Brynd and Gourcuff. ”

"If I were Pochettino, I would just have to release Alba, press him forward, let him get the assist, break Lyon's confinement on the left of Eden Hazard, and then I can unleash the attack of Chinatown. ”

When Gao Han said this, he smiled, "If I were a little more ruthless, I would consider directly replacing two of De Bruyne, Firmino, and Isco players to attack Lyon's midfield position, and Garde will be completely finished!"

Zidane and Makelele glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of admiration and helplessness in each other's eyes.

What they admired was Gao Han's insight, even through live TV, he could still see the problems in the opponent's troop arrangement at a glance and give targeted strategies, but helplessly, Gao Han's plan was too crazy, and he was probably the only one in the world who dared to do so.

"It's useless for you to say that now, Pochettino can't hear it, he can't necessarily see it. ”

"No, no, no. Gao Han shook his head, "I believe that the team's data analysis will definitely show it, the simplest point, just look at the interception data in the midfield, the most important thing is that Pochettino is calm and calm, he must be able to see it." ”

Just as Gao Han's voice fell, Chinatown was replaced.

…………

…………

Pochettino did see it, but it was not as crazy as Gao Han said, he didn't have that kind of courage, after all, this was the first time in his career that he led the team to the knockout round of the Champions League, although he fought tenaciously, but he was not crazy.

He replaced Herrera with Isco, a signature substitution for Chinatown this season.

Isco has also been hailed as Pochettino's gold medal substitute and has been able to turn the tide with every substitution.

It's the same this time.

As soon as he came on the field, the Spanish teenager made a strong breakthrough with the ball in the middle, and after passing two midfielders of Lyon in a row, he sent the ball to Pelle's feet, but the veteran defender Chris tackled the ball at a critical moment to clear the ball and resolve a crisis.

But soon, Pochettino's tweaks became apparent.

Alba began to give up the marking of Bryander, boldly rushed forward when he held the ball, pressed to the front, and actively participated in the attack in the frontcourt, and Bryander's poor sense of defense made him rarely chase back, resulting in Revière behind him having to face Alba and Hazard on the left wing at the same time.

After two years of experience as the main player in La Liga, Hazard has improved significantly, switching flexibly between the left and the middle, and the sense of movement is very smart, so that Lyon's original effective area defense has completely collapsed.

Coupled with Isco's dribbling assault in the middle, Lyon can be said to be careless, and the original impregnable defense has suddenly become full of mistakes and dilapidation.

By the 81st minute of the game, Chinatown, which had been a threat of many threats, finally had a great chance.

Hazard received the ball from the left and cut inside laterally, but was closely marked by the Lyon defenders and was forced to cross the ball to Rakitic, who went straight to Isco without stopping.

Isco stopped the ball and faced both Karlström and Wesley Fofana.

I only saw that the Spanish teenager was bold, rushed forward with the ball directly, used his skillful foot dribbling, and excellent change of rhythm, and forced under the left and right strikes of the two Lyon midfielders, he took the ball out of a bloody way and rushed to the front of the penalty area, which shocked Lyon's two central defenders, Chris and Lovren.

Pelle was unfortunate to be in an offside position, but pointed out the weakness on the left side of Isco, who was clever enough to get past Chris on the edge of the box and push the ball to the left.

Alba was quickly offside by Revière, rushed into the box with great speed, faced Isco's diagonal pass, and unthinkingly picked up his left foot for a volley.

The ball went past goalkeeper Lloris and into the side-netting at the back post!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"Eighty-first minute, eighty-first minute!"

"Isco is once again the lucky star of Chinatown!"

The fantastic Spaniard beat three defenders in a row to set up Jordi Alba for a goal. ”

"Let's relive this great performance from Isco again. ”

'We were impressed with his dribbling breakaways, not very fast, but with a delicate pace and a flexible pace that made it impossible for Lyon's defenders to keep up with him. ”

"It was a surprise that Chinatown had finally equalised after trailing for more than an hour. ”

'An assist from substitute Isco and left-back Jordi Alba calmly volleyed home. ”

The whole city of China was extremely excited after the goal, everyone rushed to the sidelines, hugged each other, and coach Pochettino jumped high from the ground, looking up to the sky and roaring, venting his inner excitement.

But soon, the Argentine coach completely calmed down, kept clapping his hands at the players on the sidelines, signaling them to hurry back to the game, continue to increase the attacking intensity, and be sure to keep up the efforts to reverse Lyon.

Chinatown soon returned to action and, after the restart, continued their offensive against Lyon.

The home team was caught in the soft underbelly and played a little embarrassed, and Garde was even more caught off guard after being equalised, and immediately made substitutions, replacing the underperforming Gourcuff with defensive midfielder Gonaron, intending to strengthen the midfield defense.

As a result, Chinatown began to play with more confidence and fighting spirit, especially Alba and Eden Hazard on the left, and Isco and Rakitic in the middle.

The release of the left and the middle attracted the attention of Lyon's defence, and Aubameyang soon had a great chance on the right, but the right-wing fast horse did not have time to adjust when facing Lloris after receiving a one-on-one ball from Pelle, and directly sent the ball into Lloris's arms, missing a precious must-score opportunity in vain.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was so remorseful that he pounded his head on the turf, clearly regretting that he had missed a great chance to score.

In the past few years in Chinatown, he has improved rapidly under the tutelage of Cantarero, especially his shooting skills, but he was too excited just now, and in the face of sudden opportunities, he played without thinking, and the result was directly to Lloris.

It was a valuable away goal and a win.

It's too bad!

The game ended in Aubameyang's remorse, and Chinatown launched a late wave of fierce attacks, but in the end they could not break through Lyon's goal again, and the score remained 1-1 until halftime.

Although he couldn't beat Lyon away, he got a valuable away goal, especially the late wave of attacks, which gave Pochettino confidence.

On the other hand, the victory that Gald and Lyon players originally held in the palm of their hands turned into a draw in the end, making them all unhappy.

And just as Chinatown was happily returning to the locker room, Pochettino received a call from Gao Han.

"Congratulations, Mauricio, it was a fantastic game and I'm very proud of you and your team. ”

After every match, Pochettino would receive a call from Gao Han, and if he lost, Gao Han would give him encouragement, and if he won, Gao Han would not hesitate to give praise and affirmation.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao Han, this game was very difficult, I was too conservative in the lineup and made some mistakes. ”

'But you adjusted well at the end and the attack was threatening. Gao Han praised with a smile.

In recent times, the results of the Chinese city team have been up and down and very inconsistent, but Gao Han can see that Pochettino has run the team in well during the winter break, especially in the attacking end, and is quite well organized.

Because of this, Pochettino will insist on playing on two fronts, hoping to try to make a splash in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and once eliminated, he will concentrate all his energy on La Liga.

"I believe that after this fight, you should know how to play in the second round. Gao Han smiled.

Pochettino blurted out without hesitation: "Of course it's a fucking attack!"

With a foul mouth, Gao Han not only didn't think he was angry, but laughed out loud.

That's right, it's going to attack the fuck!
