Chapter 529: First Opportunity

readx;

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were in constant temptation, but when ten minutes passed, Real Madrid gradually stepped up their attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

From the fans' point of view, this strengthening of the offensive is obvious.

For example, Wang Li increased the dribbling time on the side, and when he got the ball, he rarely handed the ball directly to his teammates like he did at the beginning, and used the cooperation to play short passes to penetrate, and more used his own dribbling to find scoring opportunities for the team; Another example, David. David Beckham increased the number of long balls from distance, and his long ball towards the right flank left Lyon in extreme passivity for a while.

These are just a snapshot of the game, in fact, many of Real Madrid's players have consciously stepped up their attack, so that on the whole, Real Madrid's attack is sharper.

This team, known as the invincible Galaxy Battleship, finally launched a fierce attack on Lyon's goal after more than ten minutes of silence, looking like it was destroying the opponent with an attack, which was also the game style formulated by Carlo before the game, and Real Madrid only had to attack.

Although there is some suspicion of riskiness in this way, Carlo feels that there are 90 minutes in a game, and in these 90 minutes, even if the team is scored two goals by the opponent because of the defense, then Real Madrid can still score more goals than the opponent, and on the football field, the attack is the best defense, and strengthening the offensive can also make the opponent have no chance to attack, and even make them panic, so as to achieve a comprehensive advantage.

Now the Real Madrid players on the field are doing this kind of work, their offensive is very gorgeous, except for Wang Li on the side of the occasional dribble, the other players are all one pass, such an offensive way, playing Lyon is retreating, and unnoticedly, they have been beaten in the backfield.

This kind of situation is what Carlo wants to see, the opponent's defense Real Madrid is not afraid at all, after experiencing Benfica's 11-man defensive tactics, does Real Madrid have anything to be afraid of?

No matter how good Lyon's defense is, it is impossible to compare with Benfica.

At this time, Real Madrid seemed to be performing, constantly showing their tacit cooperation, outside the Lyon penalty area, a pass between them was very tacit, and the Lyon players played around, and had to chase the ball, such a performance could not be seen at all that it was only ten minutes of the game.

The players all seemed to be in game shape, and some had occasional flashes of brilliance.

Now, Real Madrid is in a 433 formation, which can be described as an all-attacking and all-defensive formation, with the strikers Wang Li and Robinho on the left and right flanks respectively, and their task is to launch onslaught on the wings, while the midfield trio is more tasked with support. Baptista's pace, dribbling, combined with Beckham's passing, was a reassuring combination.

In fact, Raul has the most opportunities in the middle, if there are no chances on both sides, then they are all opportunities in the middle, Wang Li is on the right, so Lyon's defense on the left side is relatively dense, which gives Raul many chances.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid's attack did not bring a goal, Raul's accurate and powerless long-range shot from outside the penalty area was easily taken into the arms of the opposing goalkeeper Kupet, and Lyon's counterattack followed.

"Raul, you go a little further in a moment, try to be in the penalty area"

When Lyon kicked off, Wang Li did not return to the defense directly, but the jogger said towards Raul. In fact, he wanted to pass the ball into the box just now, but Raul stood too far away, and he felt that the shot from outside the box was similar to a waste of opportunity for these teammates.

Hearing this, Raul glanced at the ring on his finger and nodded sullenly, but at this time, the two of them unconsciously stopped and looked in the direction of their own forbidden area.

Leon's counterattack is very fast!!

In the middle, apart from Juninho Jr., who led the Lyon team's attack, the most outstanding player was undoubtedly Florente. Malouda.

Florent. Malouda!!

Perhaps, this name is a little unfamiliar to the average football fan, but in fact, his ability is no less than that of a big-name star.

The reason why big-name players are big names is not only because of their outstanding abilities, but also because of many other factors, such as commercial value and memorable ability. Take Robert. Carlos is an example, why did this player become a superstar in Real Madrid's publicity? It's not about how good his defense is, it's because his long-range shooting ability is very memorable to fans, and that, combined with his contribution and consistent performances, will make Real Madrid interested in bringing him in.

Malouda is a different kind of player, he doesn't have too eye-catching ability, and he doesn't have too good looks, that is, commercial value, but his personal ability is unquestionable.

This year, Malouda is 26 years old.

Born in Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, he was brought to France by French second division side Saudi Orurux for his outstanding performances in the local team, and at the age of 19 he began to represent the team in the professional league, and a year later he was brought in by Guingamp as a left midfielder, and soon became the initiator of the team's attack on the left flank.

In the summer of 2003, Lyon brought in a player with outstanding attacking talent, and in the Lyon team, Malouda was the most flexible left-footed player, playing as a central midfielder behind the centre-forward and then as a left winger in a formation that focused on quick counter-attacks.

Malouda has grown exponentially over the past two seasons, especially last season, when he had a memorable performance in both the Champions League and Ligue 1, with his left-hand breaks and assists becoming an important weapon for Lyon.

Such a player, who has a very ordinary career, may not have any flash of inspiration, but it is undeniable that Malouda's strength is not worse than that of big-name stars, and his overall average performance is even much better than that of ordinary players.

And now, under the watchful eyes of 80,000 fans at the Stade de France, as well as countless fans in front of the TV and computer, Malouda showed his extraordinary speed, and after receiving the pass, he opened up the distance between him and Beckham as soon as he started, and then he ran wild in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Real Madrid's attack just now made their defense too sparse.

In this way, Malouda was almost unimpeded, and when he reached the outside of the box, he finally met the first defender, who was Pavon.

Although many players have inserted assists, but Pavon has not, he has been sticking to Real Madrid's backfield, but at this time, his strength alone is really limited, seeing Pavon, Malouda's first reaction is to push the ball to the left - Sidney on the back. Govu has jumped in front of the ball!!

It is worth mentioning that Govu is another strong player with a bad reputation.

One of France's new generation of players, Govu started out as a midfielder and quickly made the switch to striker due to his lightning speed, a shift that quickly made him stand out in the youth squad.

As early as the age of 20, Govu had already entered the senior team of Lyon and represented the team in Ligue 1, which also happened to be his Ligue 1 debut when he crossed the world.

In the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League group stage, Govu scored two goals against Bayern Munich and made his name pop on the pitch, but in reality, Lyon didn't receive much attention in Europe at the time, and few fans paid attention to the average-looking black man other than professional football coaches.

The following season, Govu scored 10 goals in 29 league appearances to help the team win the Ligue 1 title for the first time in their history, while continuing to perform well in the Champions League, scoring against Fenerbach and Bayer Leverkusen.

By this time, Govu had become a central figure in the forward line of the French under-21 national team, and led the team to the final of the 2002 European Under-21 Championship, where they lost to the Czech Republic on penalties.

And that's just that, in August 2002, Govu was called up to the national team by France's new head coach Santini, who made his debut and scored a goal against Tunisia.

His performances caught the attention of many of Europe's top clubs, which led Lyon to renew Govu's contract, which will be extended until 2008.

The strength of such a player, really speaking, is no worse than any player in Real Madrid's forward line, in fact, if Real Madrid wants to bring in a player like Govu, it is impossible not to spend tens of millions of euros.

Perhaps, these players joined Real Madrid for the same sake of fame.

Now, though, it's all incidental, and the important thing is that Govu received a pass from a team-mate on the line and that he was unguarded. Casillas, meanwhile, couldn't help but strike.

It's too late!!

After receiving the ball, the experienced glanced left and right, saw that there was no defender, and took a step forward, and after adjustment, a very random hanging door made Casillas only look at the ball and sigh.

“goal!!! Sidney. Govu !! ”

"It's a surprise, Lyon scored first, and the goal was scored by the team's main striker Govu, a player who is very famous in Lyon, but maybe many people don't know his information, so let's see how he has performed before"

Many fans in the world don't know the name Govu, but it doesn't prevent Lyon supporters from celebrating the goal, they know Govu, in Ligue 1, the name Govu is not unfamiliar, and his goals have attracted one report after another.

After Lyon's goal, Real Madrid's coach Carlo looked natural, looking confident and not too bothered by the goal.

In fact, it is also the same, Carlo feels that it is normal for the opponent to lead by one goal, and Real Madrid's victory is not based on the opponent's failure to score. Real Madrid's defence is not solid, but it only takes 90 minutes of play for the team to score more goals to win, he has always thought so, so Lyon scored a goal, Carlo was not too worried, he just signaled the players to continue playing like this.

On the other hand, Lyon's head coach Houllier is happy.

Before the game, the reason why he dared to formulate a strategy to fight with Real Madrid was because he was confident in the strength of the team, perhaps in the eyes of some ordinary fans, such an idea is strange, but Houllier did not feel that the team's strength was worse than Real Madrid, except for the black-haired boy, of course.

Real Madrid does have a lot of stars, but what about a lot of stars? Stars don't necessarily perform well, and stars don't necessarily play a better role than the average player.

A team can have 1 or 2 stars, but it can't be all stars, and that's going to be a problem. The average coach understands this truth, after all, the existence of stars is more because of the outstanding personal ability of the media and the club, while the ordinary players have few requirements, and they can always have a stable performance, and will not be affected by off-field factors.

This is the general policy of the big team: a few stars, plus some unknown and powerful blue-collar players.

Obviously, Juninho Jr. is the only star in the Lyon team, and perhaps goalkeeper Kupett is also a little famous, but the goalkeeper position has limited his development.

And other players can be counted as blue-collar workers on the field, and Govu and Malouda are among the best of these blue-collar workers, who are not well-known but have strong strength.

Houllier's confidence is also based on these players.

At least, the situation on the pitch has proven him right, and with Real Madrid, it is possible for the team to win.

At this time, the Lyon team was celebrating wildly, and Wang Li frowned when he saw this scene, so he went to protest with the referee on the field, as a teammate of Real Madrid, he has this right.

"Mr. Coach, I think they're delaying the game," Wang Li said.

As a result, with the intervention of the manager, Lyon had to end the celebration early, and then the game between the two teams resumed.

"Raul, you stand a little ahead" Wang Li reminded after the game restarted.

On the right flank, he was heavily defended by Lyon and it was not easy to shoot on his own, but he was able to deliver dangerous through-balls, so he always emphasised that.

At this time, Wang Li was thinking that if Raul was not in good shape today, then he could only play shadow striker, after all, the position of the right striker is not very suitable for direct shooting, which is more of a second striker.

But in fact, there must be a reason why Carlo arranged him in this position.

When he was at Chelsea, Wang Li has been playing this position, he played very well on the right side, so Carlo was in this formation, so he was placed here, and Wang Li's performance can also be very good, at least his attack and passing are rarely hindered, and the defenders of the Lyon team are really difficult to guard against him.

However, as the captain of the team, Wang Li didn't want to play like before, which may be a bit of a lone wolf Romario, and all the opportunities created by the team were given to him, although he could also lead the team to victory, but it was just a lone wolf, and he did not do the corresponding duties of the captain.

Therefore, in desperation, Wang Li chose to do so, and now he still believes in his teammates.

Such a situation made Wang Li feel that he didn't seem to be suitable for the captain's armband, because he really didn't fit for the role of 'handsome', and he liked to be more of a 'general' who charged into battle.

Perhaps, the lone wolf is arrogant, or it can be said to be lonely, but as long as it can bring victory, isn't that the most correct choice?

At least his teammates believe in Wang Li.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid once again stepped up their attack, and they seemed to be completely unaffected by the goal just now, and every attack was very steady, which made Carlo's heart more stable.

The Lyon team, with the power of scoring a goal, is also playing with great momentum, although their attack is not as fierce as Real Madrid's, but they can still pose a threat to Real Madrid's defense.

This scene made the fans present feel that the two teams were fighting against each other, although Real Madrid had the advantage, but it was really a mystery which team would score first next.

Mourinho, who was sitting in the VIP box, was more optimistic about Real Madrid, and he played against Real Madrid, he knew very well the attacking ability of Real Madrid, and he knew better the attacking ability of the black-haired boy on the field, there was no doubt about it.

Just like this time, Real Madrid's attack hit the right side, and the black-haired boy still dribbled a few times to pass the ball accurately under the defense of three people, which was really amazing, and also attracted the applause of the fans in the stadium, even the French fans.

That's the appeal of superstar performance.

However, perhaps the rest of the Real Madrid players did not wear shooting boots, and in this attack, Wang Li's very accurate through ball made Raul waste the opportunity, and the latter kicked the ball outside the goal frame when the penalty area was unguarded, making the Real Madrid supporters in the stadium sigh unconsciously.

"He's already going downhill again." Carlo off the field didn't feel so emotional.

In Real Madrid, although Carlo coached in the second team, Raul almost grew up watching him, and it seems that until now, Carlo has always felt that Raul is the golden boy of Real Madrid and the golden boy of Spain.

However, this shot made Carlo feel that Raul was really old, anyway, he is also 29 years old this year, and professional players at this age have begun to decline.

It didn't take long for Carlo's heart to sink directly, because the Lyon team scored again, this time it was Lyon's first star Juninho!!

This is a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, after receiving a pass from a teammate, Juninho Jr. completed a cold shot with his left foot directly in the penalty area, Casillas reacted too late, and the football went directly into the corner of the goal - 2:0.

Lyon had the lead, as they led Real Madrid by two goals
