Chapter 51: Who Dominates the Ups and Downs
Not long after the restart, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The score was 2-2 at half-time, the two sides were evenly matched, but morale had skewed, as could be seen from the reaction of the crowd, with the Lille fans hanging their heads and the Bordeaux fans chanting excitedly.
The Bordeaux players walked back to the dressing room with a smile, while the Lille players were demoralized, and walked quickly to the players' tunnel with their heads down, they couldn't believe that the two-goal advantage was gone in a blink of an eye, ten minutes ago, they were still leading by two goals, and now they were equalized, this gap is a big blow to the young Lille team.
Entering the dressing room, the whole Lille team faced an angry Puel.
Everyone could see that the head coach was in a bad mood and stood there obediently.
"Is 2-0 safe? Did the final whistle blow? Ladies and gentlemen! Wake up! This is Bordeaux! This is not Bordeaux FC! "Bordeaux FC is an amateur club.
The morale of the team is very low at the moment, and if they enter the second half with the current emotions, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the Lille team will be greeted with a heavy defeat, and Puel must stabilize the morale as soon as possible.
Lille is predominantly young, and young people lack the ability to self-regulate their emotions and need to intervene, so Puel began to lecture one by one.
"Jane, what's the tackle on the edge of the box? Don't you see that he deliberately looked for a foul? What's the final tackle? Are you sure? Can't you hold him back and wait for others to come back to defense? A barrage of rhetorical questions did not allow Jane-Margue to refute.
"Matteo, why didn't you jump when you stood on the wall? Don't kick if you're afraid! 'Bodmeier didn't jump off the free-kick and the ball flew over his head over the wall.
"Adil, why didn't Miku interfere when he got up?" At that time, Rami thought that Miku was going to break or pass, but he didn't stick to it and press, so that Miku calmly lifted his foot and shot successfully.
......................
Under Puel's rhetorical questioning, the Lille players bowed their heads and remained silent, but Puel didn't need their answers, just to warn them that he needed to let everyone know that he was not satisfied.
Reeves knew that sooner or later he would have to find him, and sure enough, after training goalkeeper Silva, Puel found Reeves, "Why don't you chase back if you are broken?" What about the tasks assigned to you? ”
At that time, he was obviously shoveled down, how to chase it, although he thought so in his heart, but Reeves knew that he couldn't talk back at the moment, so he still nodded,
Seeing that the attitude of the players is very good, Puel did not continue to reprimand, there is not much time in the halftime, all he can do is this, and the rest is up to the players to adjust themselves, so they began to arrange tactics.
"Okay, look up, I'm done venting, if you don't want me to have a chance to vent after the game, then the second half needs to change!"
Everyone looked up and looked at Puel, who was standing in the middle, and most of the players had returned to normal after being trained, and they no longer dwelled on the equaliser in the first half.
"They have only one core, that is Miku, freeze him and win this game, in the second half, Matteo goes to the front, John comes on the field to play for me in the back, you have only one task, keep an eye on him, pay attention to his straight stopper, his physical confrontation is not good, use your body to entangle him." Puel is ready to bring on Cabaye to strengthen Miku's defense.
Reeves knew it was time to redeem the boys, and without Miku there was a lack of engines, and without Cabaye and Jane Macon.
This change alone was obviously not enough, and sure enough, Puel found Reeves again.
"It's better to run more, run at any cost, and besides, I need you to be concise! Don't stick to the ball, shoot when you get the chance! Their goalkeeper wasn't consistent enough to take advantage of that, shoot more and press out his mistakes. ”
Reeves nodded, a task he liked, as a striker, who doesn't like to shoot.
Reeves, who is a striker, has not had many shots on goal in the first few games, and unlimited fire is a right that only superstars have.
Now that he was ordered to shoot, Reeves was naturally very willing.
And his ball was broken that led to that equaliser, and although Puel didn't mention it, Reeves knew it was true and there were forty-five minutes to make up for it, so he needed to shoot, he needed to score!
----------------------------------
'Now it's up to Puel to see how he intervenes with the mentality of the Lille team, going from 0-2 to 2-2, which is not good news for the young Lille. At half-time, if Puel could not effectively turn the mood of his players, there was a good chance that the second half would be reversed or even a big defeat. ”
'We saw that both sides made changes in midfield. John Cabaye replaces Ludovic Oblagnac for the third time, and the new Lille, who are still in the run-in period, need to complete the adjustment and integrate into the system as soon as possible, after all, the Champions League is just around the corner. ”
Bordeaux also made a substitution, with Argentine rookie Juan Pablo Francia coming on for underperforming Czech veteran Vladimir Smitchell. Argentine rookie Francia is a rising star in Bordeaux II and plays as a right winger. ”
----------------------------------
As the second half kicked off, Reeves began to show off his vast arsenal to the audience in front of the television.
First, he received a through ball from Bodmeier in the penalty area and completed a beautiful volley from a small angle, but it was unfortunately dragged off the crossbar by the goalkeeper.
Then he received Keita's cross and volleyed a shot that hit the post.
...............
In just ten minutes, Reeves had all the shots on goal in the first half.
But because most of the shots were forced kicks under interference, coupled with Reeves' deliberate pursuit of power, the angle was very positive, and the threat was not great, they were all defused by the goalkeeper, and there were no mistakes for the time being, but Reeves believes that sooner or later there will be opportunities.
The second change made by Puel has not had an effect for the time being.
Cabaye's taunting of Miku was not obvious, and the experienced Miku sensed Lille's intentions soon after the opening kick-off, and began to give up possession, never staying at his feet for more than two seconds, passing before Cabaye could get to him, and Miku increased his running and strengthened the connection on the wings.
The effect of Lille's tactics was yet to be felt, but Bordeaux came close to scoring.
65th minute.
Bordeaux breaks the ball at the back.
Miku catches the ball and is bumped by Cabaye as he turns, but a big foot hoists the ball forward before falling.
Ma Wuba, who was in the middle circle, stopped the ball on his chest and did not dribble the ball, and received the ball with a straight kick.
Anti-offside success!
Golden opportunity!
Chamak sped up to the ball and entered the box.
Silva saw that the direct pass was a little deep, and decisively abandoned the goal.
"Nice tackle."
Silva tackles the ball out of the box before Chamak.
"Oh! Miku's chance! ”
The ball fell to Miku, who was chasing him in the middle, and Miku looked up at the goal, and without the slightest hesitation, raised his leg and fired another lob.
"Damn it!" Puel was not satisfied that Cabaye let his guard on Miku after bumping into him, allowing him to get on the ball and calmly shoot at goal.
The football is very fast, and Silva is lying on the ground in the middle of the big penalty area and the small penalty area, and when he sees Miku get up, his heart sinks, damn it, again? He hurriedly got up, but tripped on Chamak's leg, stumbled and fell again.
"Hey!"
The last thing Puel wants is to be reversed, the damage to morale will be irreparable, and he is already preparing to make some adjustments to save the situation after conceding a goal.
Lille's players were also desperate, standing in place, holding their heads in their hands and their faces full of solemnity.
The Bordeaux players were ready to cheer for the goal, and Gomez also stood up from the dugout, fists clenched and ready to rush out to celebrate.
In the eyes of the audience, the football is about to go into the net against the bottom edge of the goal beam.
"GOOO........." Dugari is also ready to announce the goal.
Just then, a red figure flew up and hooked the ball out on the goal line.
“Woooooooooooo! Reeves made a meritorious service. ”
'Brilliant volleys, brilliant barbs, Reeves kicked Miku's lob out on the goal line. Although there was no goal, Dugari was still very excited, and a wonderful clearance was also exciting.
The Stade de Lille was followed by loud exclamations, then bursts of cheers, and then thunderous applause, shouts for hanging doors, cheers for the team's escape, and applause for Reeves' performance.
"At the critical moment, Reeves stepped up and avoided the score being overtaken, how could Reeves appear in this position." Dugarry voiced the doubts in the minds of the audience in front of the television.
"Let's take a look at the replay, oh~ Reeves started running back after Miku's long pass, sprinting all the way and finally hooking the ball before it crossed the goal line."
"It's a shame that the persistent Reeves saved Lille and Miku missed the chance to score a hat-trick."
At that time, Reeves had a bad premonition when he saw Miku get up and run back, and today this old demon brought too many accidents, and he ran all the way back.
By the time Chamak entered the box, Reeves had already crossed Miku, but he didn't stop because he was already afraid that Chamak would face an empty goal after dribbling past Silva, so he continued to move forward.
When Silva tackled, Reeves entered the penalty area and was relieved to see the ball successfully scooped away, and he stopped.
But Reeves looked back and saw the ball fall to Miku outside the penalty area, remembering the hanging shot in the first half, Reeves's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran towards the goal, and when he ran to the small penalty area, he saw Miku get up, Reeves watched the trajectory of the ball while running, and finally hooked it out on the goal line.
Reeves got up and slammed his chest in Miku's direction, letting out a beastly roar.
The winner is undecided! It is not yet known who will rise and fall!
