Yu Liang, who incarnated as a fan, cheered heartily in the stands, beating Arsenal was so joyful.

After the FA Cup tie against Arsenal, Manchester United flew straight to Lyon, France, to prepare for the Champions League last-16 tie in midweek.

Lyon, a city in southeastern France, is located at the confluence of the Saône and Rhône rivers, and the main town is divided into three parts. Near the west side is the hill of Fourvière, home to the famous Notre-Dame de Fourvière and the Cathedral of Lyon; On the peninsula between the Saône and the Rhône is Lyon's old town, where the famous Place Bellecaux is located, while the most exquisite buildings of the Renaissance era are preserved; The eastern side of the Rhône is dominated by the new town, which is the lifeblood of Lyon in the new era, with a large concentration of large companies. A large number of strong companies in machinery, electronics, chemicals, heavy vehicles, computers and other industries have settled here, making Lyon an important industrial city in France. It is also the most important center of science and education after Paris, with more than 20 universities and research institutes, so although it is not as populous as Marseille, the second largest city, Lyon is also called the second largest metropolitan area in France.

Although Lyon is an industrial city, it is also a famous cultural and artistic center in Europe and the world, and in 1998 the old town of Lyon was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you come here, you can experience the extraordinary history and culture. Of course, at night, the more than 200 attractions illuminated by the lights look even more beautiful.

The famous Ligue 1 club Lyon Football Club is located on the east bank of the Rhône.

Founded in the 50s of the last century, this football club has not had a brilliant record in the history of French football, and the best result is that in the 60s of the last century, it reached the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, reached the final of the French Cup three times and won the championship twice. It was not until the 90s that FC Lyon made it to the top three in the league under the leadership of coach Saint-Tini and won Ligue 1 in 2002.

It was the first league trophy in the history of Lyon Football Club.

In the mid-to-late 90s of the last century, Ligue 1 was an out-and-out turmoil, and after the peak of the Marseille dynasty came to an abrupt end because of the match-fixing case, Ligue 1 became the best annotation of the changing king flag at the head of the city.

The 92-93 season was also the year when Marseille crowned the Champions League double in the limelight, but it was found that the match-fixing case suddenly fell, until 01-02 Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lens, and Auxerre all got a piece of the pie, and the bears of the previous year may become the champions of the next year, and the champions of the previous year may be desperately relegated in the next year. At that time, people would only use one word to describe Ligue 1 - chaos. Therefore, even if Lyon were to get Carrier, who was named the best player in the Confederations Cup '01 and was known as Zidane II, it is difficult to be optimistic about Lyon's league prospects next season.

As expected, in the 02-03 season, the Parisians seemed to be more ambitious than the Lyonnais, leading the table again. But by the middle of the season, Lyon's consistency exploded again with unprecedented strength, overtaking Paris in the standings and holding the lead all the way to the finish to defend the Ligue 1 title. But in the Champions League, Lyon paid for lack of experience and was eliminated in the group stage.

In the 03-04 season, Lyon faced Monaco in the league. Like the Parisians, they have maintained their points advantage since the start of the season and have maintained that advantage until the second half of the season, but the distraction of the Champions League has left Monaco stumbling in the final ten rounds of competition. Lyon have once again shown their strength to the rest of Ligue 1, unbeaten in ten games, sending them to the top of the league title once again, completing a third straight title.

The next championship seems to be a logical one, and each season is an early determination of the advantage.

In addition to continuing to hold the title in the domestic league, surpassing Marseille to six consecutive titles, Lyon has also broken through in the Champions League year by year, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League for several consecutive seasons. And in the Champions League, Real Madrid was defeated several times in a row, which became a good story.

So in the face of Lyon, Manchester United must not be sloppy.

This was already emphasised by Alex Ferguson when he set off for Lyon.

However, in the eyes of Manchester United's generals, Lyon is not a big threat. On the night of their arrival in Lyon, they went straight to the bar.

Without him, the reason is that Lyon is a team in Ligue 1.

Although Ligue 1 and the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga are the top five leagues in Europe. However, due to the lack of financial support, it is naturally not comparable to the Premier League teams that have received financial injections in terms of competitiveness. Ligue 1 teams, unable to attract superstars, have become a springboard for young players to become Europe's biggest clubs. In recent years, Ligue 1 has also produced a number of talented players, such as Lyon striker Benzema.

"Is he strong?"

Although the bar is a place to spend a lot of time drinking, but the big game is imminent, and the players still don't dare to come nonsense. At most, it's just whistling at the beautiful French girl, playing hooligan, and having a good time.

When I came to Lyon, while feeling the passionate French girl, I naturally talked about the next opponent.

Among his peers, Yu Liang is the most feared by Messi.

He still can't forget the scene when he was sent off for a red card against Argentina in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship.

"I didn't watch the game footage! You're not afraid of the boss beating you! ”

Rooney immediately let out a contemptuous laugh.

Before the FA Cup match against Arsenal, Manchester United were preparing for the Champions League round of 16 game, and Lyon naturally watched the video of the game more than once or twice.

Karim Benzema is Lyon's top scorer, so he is naturally in the spotlight. Ferguson stressed many times that the young striker should be on the lookout for in the game.

"I'm scared! So this game I decided to stare this guy to death! ”

The Manchester United players laughed when they heard Yu Liang's words.

"I hope you succeed!"

"Of course, is he as strong as you? Is there a king strong? ”

"Of course not!"

Rooney and King Dong replied to Yu Liang in unison.

Just kidding, the two are Manchester United's main strikers, how can they be compared to Lyon's main striker?

"I'm definitely better than you!"

Listening to the voice, Yu Liang turned their heads and saw a round face, which was the Lyon striker Benzema they were talking about.

Benzema didn't expect to meet Manchester United's players in the bar.

As soon as he saw the Manchester United players, he had the heart to go over and hear what they were talking about, just to hear them talk about himself.

He admits Wayne Rooney has done well in England and Manchester United, and King Dong was even more impressive last season, and he has heard of it in France. But he didn't think he was worse than Rooney and King Dong.

"I'll score in front of you the day after tomorrow!"

Benzema's words were addressed to Yu Liang, because he heard Yu Liang's words about staring at him.

Yu Liang looked at Benzema and said lightly: "I'll wait!" (To be continued.) )
