620 Unable to return to heaven
At the Stadio Gerland, Real Madrid is in trouble.
After Lyon contracted their defense as a whole and put on a bucket formation defense of 4 defenders + 1 scavenger + 3 backs, Real Madrid's attack hit a wall everywhere.
Beckham's long ball in the midfield is useless, because there is no space up front, and the time the ball flies in the air is enough for the Lyon defenders to seize the landing point and disrupt the attack.
Even if Robinho and Reyes were able to break through successfully on the wing, they could not form the next offensive development of the wing-center combination.
Carlos and Cicinho also provided the assists, but it was still difficult to create great chances on the wings.
However, there is one advantage: after Juninho Jr. is gone, Lyon's attack has lost the source of attacking instigation.
Their attacking quality has also been greatly reduced, and even though Real Madrid have a huge amount of space at the back for them to exploit, none of their team-mates in central midfield can deliver a long ball with the same precision as Juninho Jr.
Ramos also rushed up and went straight to the front line to add a header in the box.
In the 79th minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the middle of the front field, got rid of Karlström horizontally in the same place, and then dribbled diagonally to the right, but in the process of dribbling, he suddenly got up directly and crossed diagonally, Robinho, who cut inside from the left side, entered the penalty area in a relatively narrow space, unloaded the ball on his chest in the parallel position of the small penalty area, and then volleyed, and the football hit the side net!
One minute later, Qin Xiong combined with Emerson's midfielder to break through Karlström's zone once again and pick the ball forward before Thiago and Tulalang tried to close the defence. With Vanney as a cover. It created a good chance for Ramos, who was in a straight line into the box.
It's a pity that Ramos is not a striker. He headed straight at the goal with space to adjust, and the ball went just over the crossbar, leaving the Lyonnais in a cold sweat.
Houllier watched from the sidelines, but under such a dense defense, Qin Xiong was still able to create good opportunities, no wonder this young man is the hottest new superstar in European football!
Since Qin Xiong yelled at Capello, his teammates have been willing to create opportunities for him, highlighting his importance. It seems that the change of direction is fighting Capello.
In the 84th minute of the game, Sicineo broke through with the ball on the side and was cut off by Abidal, Abidal directly drove the ball to the front court after breaking the ball, and the center Fred pulled the ball to the side and transferred the ball to the other side, and Malouda attacked and killed the penalty area alone.
Cannavaro showed his World Cup-winning quality at this time, calmly following Malouda's rhythm and decisively making a tackle at the moment when Malouda tried to change direction, perfectly stifling Lyon's threatening counter-attack.
There was a sigh at the Gerland Stadium, followed by a wave of applause.
Lyon fans were very pleased with the team's performance, with a two-goal lead in the scoreline. Even if the team's threatening offense eventually dies, they will cheer for the team selflessly and passionately.
As Qin Xiong continuously created chances in front of the penalty area. This made Lyon's midfield defense line retreat further, almost standing in front of the penalty area line, to compress the space in the penalty area to the extreme, Qin Xiong could not break through anyone alone, it would inevitably encounter their crazy encirclement.
In the 87th minute of the game, after Real Madrid passed the ball backwards on the periphery in a row, Qin Xiong came to the left side in front of the penalty area.
In front of him, Tulalang and Karlström did not dare to rush forward, they waited for Qin Xiong to break through or pass, in that case, they would be more sure to end Real Madrid's attack.
Qin Xiong's eyes were constantly observing the situation of the Lyon Defense Line, and he was not flustered in his heart, but he was indeed a little unoptimistic.
Because of Lyon's dense defense, Real Madrid's attacking players did not have the space to pass and run, even if they entered the penalty area, Qin Xiong could not see a reasonable and effective passing line.
Capello might not have been so pessimistic if he hadn't replaced Raul, but removing defenders to add offensive players doesn't quite fit Capello's style.
As a result, when it comes to breaking down dense defence and increasing the number of attacking points in the box, Robinho's role will not be more prominent than Raul's.
At this moment, Qin Xiong suddenly saw a line, opening an obvious gap between Tulalang and Revier and Chris behind Karlström.
It's a pity that there are no teammates to intersperse that area of the run.
However, Qin Xiong can still take advantage of it.
He flicked the ball to the right and then decisively swung his leg up and hit the goal!
The two looked back, Revier and Chris did not interfere with the football, and the football that bombarded through the gap between the midfield line and the back line was like a sharp knife cutting through Lyon's defense and heading straight for the upper left corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Kupe gave up the save after seeing the football, and he couldn't reach it!
Rumble!
The ball flew into the top left corner of the goal!
"Real Madrid have once again closed the gap to one goal!
Qin Xiong scored a brace!
World Wave Break!
What a wonderful and shocking long shot!
At this moment, Qin Xiong stepped up, with 5 minutes left in the game, does Real Madrid have any hope of equalizing?
Lyon's defense is too passive, they are in a position to wait for Real Madrid to attack, they should be more aggressive defensively, especially not to let a dangerous person like Qin Xiong control the ball for a long time, God knows what kind of unbelievable things he will do! ”
Capello shouted from the sidelines for his players to return to half-court to kick off in an effort to equalise with little time remaining.
Ruud van Nistelrooy picked up the ball from inside the goal and ran back into midfield.
Lyon coach Houllier shook his head from the sidelines.
He used up his last substitution.
Fred, the scorer, was substituted and he also received applause from the Lyon fans.
The player who was substituted was Arau Diarra, increasing the defense in the midfield!
This time, Lyon almost used 9 pure defensive players to put the back line and the midfield line to resist Real Madrid's attack.
Faced with such an almost impeccable defense of the opponent, Qin Xiong had no choice.
Diarra was full of energy, so he followed him closely, and resorted to foul tactics at the slightest sign of error.
In the last 5 minutes, Qin Xiong only had a direct free kick to test goalkeeper Kupe, and the rest of the time, Real Madrid's attack could only be through Beckham, Carlos, Sicinho and other players to hoist the football cross into the penalty area, but that style of play could not create even a trace of chaos.
Lyon managed to hold on to the score of 3:2 at home!
At the end of the game, Qin Xiong stood in place with his waist crossed, and he really had a sense of frustration that he was powerless! (To be continued......)
