The new formation appeared in the second half of the next round against Saint-Etienne. Eight?? 1 Chinese Net = ≤≤.≤

As Lyon's neighbor, Saint-Etienne has a history of dominance in Ligue 1, Platini's parent club has won ten Ligue 1 titles and even reached the Champions League final, but unfortunately lost to Bayern Munich in the end.

Similar to the cause of the fall of Ligue 1 giants Marseille, the decline of Saint-Etienne began with the owner's imprisonment, but unlike Marseille's match-fixing case, the owner of the Green Army was imprisoned for the club's financial scandal in 1982, and the team has not won a single title since then, and has been sitting on the elevator between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. Saint-Etienne have recovered a lot of strength in recent seasons, but only at a mid-table level in Ligue 1.

Saint-Etienne's idea of building the team is to focus on high-quality and low-cost African players, this way has advantages and disadvantages, and the results have improved a lot, but it is easy to be affected by the Africa Cup of Nations, the biennial Africa Cup of Nations will be held in January, African countries will send players back to China to compete, Saint-Etienne will have half of the main absenteeism after the winter break, this "non-combat attrition" has greatly affected the record of the Green Army, Saint-Etienne performed well enough in the first half of last season, At the halfway point of the winter break, they were even in contention for Champions League qualification. But since then, the Africa Cup of Nations has begun, and the absence of many absolute main players such as Jokola, Feindono, and Ilunja has had disastrous consequences for the team. In the end, the team finished 13th.

This season, Saint-Etienne adjusted the team's thinking and sold the first midfielder Ivorian Zokola to Tottenham for 12oo euros, bringing in a number of non-African players: French Dennis and Lundera, Argentine Billos and Brazilian Ilan.

Although Saint-Etienne is currently only ranked 10th, far less than the same period last season, it has not lost its characteristics of being a good team, drawing away from Lyon, beating Marseille at home, and away against Bordeaux, and has not lost against the top four teams this season.

The movement of the first half of this game also confirmed this.

Lille's formation in this game has not changed, and it is still Reeves with a single arrow in front.

It will take time for a new formation to replace a mature and successful formation, Puel will not rashly change the formation, in case the points are lost, the other earlier Lyon game has ended in the afternoon, Lyon won easily, temporarily back in the table, if Lille loses points in this game, then the position of Lyon is solid, which is absolutely unacceptable to Puel.

But Puel didn't expect Saint-Etienne to be in such good form, with a solid defence and a sharp attack.

In the 32nd minute of the first half,

Saint-Etienne captain Sabriel beat Dumont and Prestein in the middle and shot hard into the net!

1:O, Lille trails away from home.

'Sabre is in great form, it's his fourth goal of the season, which is a rare statistic for a midfielder! This season's chance is that he is dragging Saint-Etienne on his own, and he should go to a bigger team show! ”

"In the summer, Marseille and Bordeaux offered him an olive branch, but he chose to stay at Saint-Etienne again."

'It's a shame that 25 is the most critical time for a player and it's a bit of a waste to choose to stay in Saint-Etienne.

The commentator regretted Sabrie's stay, but the home fans were glad that Sabre had stayed, and it was Sabrie's outstanding performance that prevented the team from slipping into the relegation zone.

With a passion for football, dedication to the game and loyalty to the team, such a captain deserves any level of boasting. The Saint-Etienne fans cheered as much as they could for the goal.

The excited home fans did not forget to provoke the fans of the away team,

"You will have nothing!"

"The second division championship is what you can fight for!"

Saint-Etienne has been relegated four times in its history, three of which are directly or indirectly related to Lille, two were directly defeated by Lille in the last round of the league and led to relegation, and one was the relegation opponent who scored a key three points on Lille in the last round to squeeze Saint-Etienne into the second division, it is difficult to say that this is not a kind of fate.

Saint-Etienne fans are therefore extremely unwelcome to Lille, every time they face Lille at home, the Green Army fans always have all kinds of provocations, and this game is no exception, blocking Lille's championship road, in the eyes of Saint-Etienne fans, is the best revenge for Lille.

Every touch of the ball by a Lille player is booed, and every touch of the ball by a Saint-Etienne player is naturally a cheer.

Amid the alternation of cheers and boos, the score remained unchanged until after a forced substitution.

In the 65th minute, Dimont's accidental injury caused Puel to make a substitution adjustment.

Another midfielder, Jang Macon, was injured in training and did not come to Saint-Etienne, leaving Lille with no one to replace in midfield.

Puel could only play with a two-striker strategy, bringing on Fovegue to share the pressure on Reeves, and Bodemel retreated from the midfield position to the midfield and switched to a 442 formation.

This forced substitution had an unexpected effect.

Lille equalised on the first attack after the substitution.

Debich broke down the right flank and advanced all the way to a position parallel to the edge of the penalty area.

Reeves and Cabaye ran through the middle at the same time.

The defenders of the Saint-Etienne team stepped forward to follow the defense.

The defender was just in place and Debich made a pass.

But the target of the pass is not either Reeves or Cabaye.

Instead, the ball was passed between the two to Fowegay, who was a little further away in the box.

The moment the ball was passed, Cabaye and Reeves quickly turned, Cabaye led the player to the top of the arc, and Reeves ran sideways towards the penalty area.

Fowegay leaned on the opposing defender on the left side of the penalty area to receive the ball, and the defender behind him was stumbling and stumbling by the tall Fowegai.

As long as Fowegue stops the ball and then turns around, he can shoot with ease.

Another defender, Illenja, saw that the situation was not good, and rushed to the left side of the box to assist his team-mates, ready to block the angle of Fowegay's shot.

But Foweguet disappointed Illenga, half-turning and not stopping the ball, but immediately flicked the ball to Cabaye, who had just run into place at the top of the box in the middle.

The defender in charge of defending Cabaye was not yet in place and it was a good opportunity to shoot.

Cabaye didn't make any adjustments, and he raised his foot to shoot at the ball.

Saint-Etienne defender Illenga, who had just gone to block Forweguet, changed direction for the second time and hurriedly moved from the left side of the box to the middle to block Cabaye's shot.

But to Ilenja's disappointment again, Cabaye did not shoot, but faked a shot, met the ball with a sharp pull, and sent the ball diagonally into the box.

Ilenga changed direction for the third time and ran towards the right side of the penalty area.

This time it was Reeves, who ran sideways into the penalty area, who received the ball.

Facing the incoming ball, Reeves did not make adjustments, and directly pushed the far corner of the goal.

The ball flew past Illenga's outstretched foot, then through the fingers of Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Dembele and into the net against the edge of the post.

“goa1！！！！！！！！！”

“1:1！ Lille equalised! Cabaye assists Reeves to complete the goal! The three people in front of the goal all kicked the ball, and the ball stayed at everyone's feet for less than a second, clean and neat, and Ilenja, who tried to block the goal, was like the ball-grabbing character in the game, helpless and desperate. ”

"Although the goal was scored by Reeves, the credit was four people, Debich attacked, Foweguet pivoted, Cabaye made a fatal pass, and Reeves hit it perfectly." (To be continued.) )
