In fact, at this time, Benzema did not have the title of Ronaldo's successor, and now he is only a regular substitute for the team, and when he plays, he is more of a team according to the coach's instructions to fight, and does not dare to fight alone outside the tactical system. It wasn't until next season that Benzema showed his super explosive ability in the professional arena, killing all sides, and was named Ronaldo's successor.

But today, Benzema wanted to prove himself against Reeves, so he decisively abandoned his previous team style of play and reverted to the individual style of play he used to play in the youth team. In advance, the potential of Ronaldo's successor was shown to the world.

Whether this change is good or bad for Benzema in the future is unknown, but it is not good news for Lyon, who are desperate for an equaliser at the moment.

Because in the following time, Benzema was obsessed with single-handing Lille's backline, and the goal of Lille's defense was suddenly clear, and the defensive pressure was much less.

The Lille defence is comfortable with this kind of one-man play, as they have been challenged countless times by Reeves in their usual training, and it is difficult for Benzema to overcome the obstacles and get the ball into the door of the Lille team on his own.

Benzema, who did not admit defeat, tried again and again, but still had little success and did not score, but with his super individual ability, he still caused a lot of danger in front of the Lille goal.

Houllier on the sidelines did not jump into a rage because of Benzema's solo fight, and he was mentally prepared when he was sent on the field, and he was deeply impressed by Benzema's high desire to fight before the game. The knock on the hotel door in the middle of the night, the man in his pajamas, and the expression of wanting to say goodbye, almost made Houllier misunderstand.

But these are not the reasons why Houllier rejected Benzema's offer to fight, and what he feared was the way it was: so obsessed with showing himself alone that it delayed the fighter.

However, this period of individual time is not without gains, at least let Houllier see Benzema's individual ability, and another set of offensive tactics can be arranged around this point in the future, but these are all later words, Houllier saw that the end of the game was approaching, and decided to tighten the reins of Benzema.

Taking advantage of the throw-in, Houllier pulled past Benzema for a whisper.

"The free time you've been given is over, so let's do as I tell you to do." Seeing Benzema's somewhat reluctant expression, Houllier ignored it and continued, "Take the ball more at the edge of the box, Juninho has a good foot today, you go and create some free kick opportunities." ”

Although Benzema was very unwilling, he nodded and agreed to look at the manager with an unquestioning expression, the team still has a place for substitutions, and Benzema knows that if he doesn't comply, Houllier is likely to replace him, after all, there is still a panacea Wiltord sitting on the bench. And being substituted after coming on the bench is the most humiliating thing for a professional player, and Benzema doesn't want to go through such a situation.

Back on the pitch, Benzema continued to play alone, but instead of looking for a breakthrough, he focused on creating a free-kick.

In the 82nd minute, Benzema's tireless efforts finally won a free kick from the edge of the box.

Lille were once again in the thick of the crowd and everyone returned to the box to assist in defence, sacrificing the counter-attack to prevent the free-kick from finding the back of the net again, and Reeves was no exception, standing by the post ready to fill in for Silva.

The camera first gave a close-up of Juninho Jr. behind the ball, the Brazilian had already scored a spectacular free-kick today, and everyone except Lille's supporters was expecting another wonderful free-kick from the Lyon core.

The position and expression of Juninho Jr. in the camera are exactly the same as last time, the difference is that he stands closer to the ball, this time the penalty spot is very close to the goal, there is no need for long-distance running, and the choice of footwork is more diverse.

The camera showed Silva in front of the goal again, and the Lille goalkeeper has been getting better and better since he was shot into that free-kick, making many brave saves, and never letting the goal go down again.

So Lille's supporters pinned their hopes of blocking Juninho's free-kick on Silva.

In the camera, Reeves and Silva exchanged words and whispered, Silva nodded after listening, walked back to the middle of the goal, stood still in front of the goal, bowed slightly, ready to react at any time.

The camera returns to the edge of the penalty area, the referee's whistle sounds, Juninho Jr. runs and shoots, and the ball makes a beautiful arc in the air, around the top of the human wall, and flies straight to the back of the goal.

"Oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ incredible! Incredible free-kicks, incredible saves. The full moon-like arc went straight to the corner, but Silva's save was just as wonderful, moving to that side the moment Juninho Jr. got up, and his body stretched in the air like a fish leaping to block the ball with one palm. The ball was fast and the angle was very awkward, and Silva must have predicted the direction of the ball in advance, otherwise he would not have touched the ball at all. ”

Indeed, after discussing with Reeves, Silva decided to take a gamble, he was really not sure to defend the opponent's free kick, at the suggestion of Reeves, the two divided the defense zone, the most threatening free kick is nothing more than two dead corners, he is responsible for the far corner, Reeves is responsible for the near corner, he ran to the far corner in advance, Reeves stayed in the near corner to check and fill the gap.

It turned out to be the right bet, and Silva saved this very different but equally wonderful free-kick.

Juninho Jr. covered his head in annoyance, his free kick was almost perfect in terms of angle and speed, the moment the ball was shot, he thought it was there, but when he looked up at the goal, he knew that it was bad, the opponent moved to the side in advance, and sure enough, the ball was blocked by the opponent under the crossbar.

was annoyed, Juninho Jr. suddenly heard the exclamation of his teammates, turned around and looked back, a red figure with the ball along the side ran to their own half, teammates fought and retreated, some ran to the side to slow down the opponent's advance, and more people retreated along the middle, ready to lay out the defense line to prevent the opponent from breaking through and blocking the hinterland.

"It's Reeves! The moment the ball was saved, he ran from the post to the side, his teammate passed the ball in time, and the Lyon players were still in the regret of being saved, and did not react at all, until Reeves received the ball and started to sprint, no one reacted and went to intercept. ”

"Chris ran to Reeves, others ran to the backfield, although Reeves's counterattack caught the opponent off guard, but Lyon's speed of defense is not slow, if you want to reap the results, you still need to stop and wait for the support of your teammates, even if he breaks through Chris's defense alone, the opponent's defense line has been in front of the backfield."

"oh~~~ He's still advancing, it seems that he doesn't plan to wait for the support of his teammates, Chris is also accelerating, and the two are about to meet."
