"It's a rare occasion that the cheers of the away fans outweigh the cheers of the home fans, and it seems that the Lille fans are not happy with the performance of the team on the field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, Lille fans would definitely prefer to see their team and the leaders play against each other than defend as they are now."

'I don't think there's anything wrong with Puel's strategy, but I doubt the effect of the execution, Lille rarely play this kind of counter-attacking routine, a style of play that they are not familiar with to achieve the desired effect, it is very difficult to do, it is very likely that there is only defense and no counter-attack.

Sure enough, although after Lille contracted the defense, the breakthrough of the Lyon players began to become difficult, but because Lille usually does not have many opportunities to practice defensive counterattacks, when switching from defense to attack, Lille players often make mistakes in coordination, and it is difficult to effectively form a counterattack opportunity with the broken ball.

So the game went into Lyon's control, as can be seen from the broadcast footage of the game, the camera has been hovering over the half of the game where Lille is, and Lyon's goalkeeper has not appeared in the broadcast screen for a long time.

Running out of space, Lyon abandoned the strategy of breaking through and seeking set-piece opportunities and reverted to their normal attacking tactics.

With a free-kick master and a great long-range shooter in the squad, Lyon are not afraid to defend tightly.

The Lille goalkeeper became the busiest man on the pitch, but fortunately, Silva was brought to his full potential by Juninho's world wave, and he resisted high and kept the goal open.

With the referee's whistle, the score remained at 2:2 in the first half.

In terms of scoreline, it wasn't a bad scoreline, it looked like a close one. However, the Lille players looked very frustrated, because the game scene after the equalizer was really not evenly matched, as if they were accompanying the opponent to practice offensive routines, and there was no way to fight back, which made the Lille players who were aiming for three points very depressed.

There was a round of applause from the stands as they entered the tunnel, and although the final minutes of the team's play were not pleasing to the fans, on the whole, the Lille's first-half performance was satisfactory to the fans and deserved a round of applause.

Puel sat in the dugout for a while, waiting until all the players had left the field before slowly getting up, but instead of rushing to leave, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, and then fell silent.

It was a long time before Puel opened his eyes, and the impatience in his eyes was gone, replaced by the usual calm.

Without the distractions of the game, Puel finally calmed himself down.

Puel knew that the match had been given so much meaning to him that it would affect his judgment and that he would probably make a streak of tricks, but so far nothing had gone wrong.

Now all we need to do is go into the dressing room and train the lads, the quality of the counter-attack is really worrying and some adjustments need to be made.

Walking outside the locker room door, Puel did not rush in, but stood outside the door and listened to the voices coming from inside.

In the locker room, Reeves was agitating his teammates.

"What are you afraid of, if you should be fouled, you will foul."

"Juninho Jr. is not a perfect shot."

"It's a big deal that I don't arrange people to counterattack when I defend against free kicks, and I don't believe he can score again, except for the human wall, and the two goalposts are standing."

"What? Fewer counterattack drills and more mistakes? Then drive the ball to the front court and I'll take care of it. ”

'He's got what it takes to be a leader in the team. The assistant coach said softly behind Puel.

Puel nodded when he heard this, Reeves usually doesn't talk much, but he can always lead his teammates to fight with action when it is critical, and he does have the potential to become the leader of the team, but thinking that Reeves is ready to go abroad next season, Puel shook his head again and pushed open the door of the locker room with regret on his face.

"That's right, let's find Reeves this point for counterattack." Puel affirmed Reeves' statement, "After breaking the ball, you must be fast, Ludovic came on in the second half, more straight stops, don't be afraid of mistakes, one success is enough to kill." ”

Ludovic Oblagnac's big-picture vision is what Bodmeier lacks, and Puel hopes he will be able to deliver a counter-attack shell for Reeves.

'You haven't had a shot yet, that's not your style, and in the second half I wanted you to take advantage of the counter-attack and win the game.'

Reeves nodded firmly, the opponent's big attack will inevitably lead to an empty backcourt, as long as his teammates pass the ball in place, he will definitely get a lot of opportunities.

In the away team's dressing room.

Houllier didn't make any adjustments, just praised the team's performance.

He was really satisfied with the performance of his players, resolutely implemented his tactical set-up, and suppressed the opponent in the half at the end of the first half, the only thing he was not satisfied with was the score.

However, Houllier believes that the draw is only temporary, and that if he continues to play like this, he will score sooner or later, and he believes it will be a big win.

After heart surgery, Houllier rarely gushed at half-time, and the same was true at this moment, as he walked out of the dressing room and into the pitch early after one praise after another.

The players are also used to the manager's move, and when Houllier goes out, they go about their own business, some people listen to music with headphones, some eat bananas to replenish energy, and more people get together to chat, chatting and talking about Reeves.

"Do you know the bet?"

"Of course you know, that guy who can't do anything, is our goal the one he wants to score?"

"Yes, what a megalomaniacal fellow."

'But you have to be careful, he assisted both goals in the first half.'

"That's the end of his performance, he didn't have a chance to go to the box in the second half, did he?"

"Haha, that's right, if they continue to shrink into the half, he won't even have a chance to shoot."

"It's not enough to freeze, in the second half we can move a little bit more and give him a little bit of color."

"That's right, he's not in the danger zone anyway, so don't worry if you put him down even if he's judged to have committed a foul."

Several Lyon players agreed.

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, with players from both sides coming back on the pitch to start the second half.

"Lille replaced Bodmeier with Oblagnac, who has not yet fully integrated into Lille's attacking system, obviously will not let him dominate the offensive position, and can only be used as the core of the counterattack for the time being, it seems that Mr. Puel is ready to continue to play defensive counter-attacks."

Reeves stood in the center circle and looked into the distance at the huge scoreboard with the names of the four goalscorers.

7th minute, Fred

23rd minute, Bodmeier

34th minute, Cabaye

42nd minute, Juninho

It's only half-time, and there are already four goals.

There will certainly be no shortage of goals in the second half.

Reeves wants the next name to appear on the scoreboard is himself.
