Benzema, that's good.

At the age of 17, Benzema had already played for Lyon's first team, and since last year, at the age of 20, he has become Lyon's main striker, and he is also the talent of Lyon's forward line, as well as the talent of France's forward line.

Compared with the current Darren Bent, Benzema is nothing.

Darren Bent was already a regular for Manchester City last season, and he has an even better Anelka on his head, who has scored a high number of goals despite his limited playing time.

Darren Bent is no worse than Benzema in terms of individual ability and has extremely rich game experience.

Govu?

How can this French striker compare with Spain's 'golden boy' Torres?

Let's talk about the midfield...... It's even more incomparable.

Morris, Silva, Ozil, these three players take out one at random, and it is not something that Lyon can compare with players, the only shot they can take is Juninho, but the 33-year-old Juninho is old after all, and the other Lyon midfielders, whether they are famous or strong, are much worse, so there is no need to mention it at all.

The Lyon players go into the game with the confidence to win.

But at the beginning of the game, they hit a wall, and when they were about to use the team's skilful combination to attack the Manchester City defence, they were met with a stubborn full-court press, and it was difficult for them to pass the ball after they got the ball up front.

Soon the ball changed hands and City began to control the combination.

Manchester City kept the ball firmly at their feet and were in no hurry to attack, and their constant back and forth made the whole Lyon team scratch their heads.

Manchester City seemed to be doing passing drills, constantly passing, constantly passing, and in a dazzled manner, the football had already crossed the halfway line, and when Lyon was going to go over and press, the football went to other positions first. The Lyon player in that position went up again, and the football flew to other positions.

In the dazzling cooperation of Manchester City, Lyon felt very uncomfortable.

Coach Alan Perrin is prepared to deal with this style of play, which is to make the team more running and pressing intensity, but it is very simple to say, and when it comes to the game, it is completely different.

When the Lyon players found that they had run for half a day without any effect, they gave up in their hearts and were unwilling to run again.

Just when they had a little bit of Pine Creek. The ball has been passed to the edge of the box.

Ozil, who was inserted in the midfield, suddenly sent a direct pass!

It was a surprising pass that the Lyon defence couldn't react to, and after they pressed, some players ran too far forward, and as a result, the pass went straight through their midfield defence, and by the time they saw the ball in a dangerous position, it was too late to chase it back.

The ball rushed towards the edge of the penalty area, where Darren Bent had followed!

Fernando Torres moved to Manchester City in the summer. Wan Sheng put Darren Bent in the role of a second striker and let him focus on his passing ability.

Wan Sheng did not skimp, and directly put the "national competition honor halo" on Darren Bent's 'passing ability evaluation' attribute, and the result was. Darren Bent's passing ability has improved dramatically.

Darren Bent's passing ability was very average before, not to mention that compared with midfielders such as Morris and Ozil, it was not high compared to the average striker. But with nearly two months of individual training, coupled with the improvement of the "10% attribute ability of the national competition honor halo", his passing ability evaluation has caught up with Ozil, Silva and others.

Although there is still a little gap with Morris. But the evaluation value of '93' is enough to become the best in the world.

So, seeing Darren Bent taking the ball in that position, Wan Sheng suddenly stood up.

"Good chance!"

The Lyon players have the opposite view.

Ahead of the game, Lyon prepared a lot for the game and also focused on analysing the ability of several dangerous players for Manchester City.

As Manchester City's top scorer in the first six rounds of the league and the top scorer in the Premier League, Darren Bent is naturally the focus of the 'study'.

Darren Bent's ability is easy to analyze, including the first two seasons, he has scored a lot of goals and very few assists, so head coach Alan Perrin believes that Darren Bent is not much of a threat in terms of assists, but when he gets the ball in a dangerous position, he must stop him from shooting at the first time.

The Lyon players did the same.

Centre-back Squeiraci jumped up almost as soon as Darren Bent swung his foot to 'plug the gun' with his body, while another centre-back, Bodma, also took two steps to the left to block more angles in the goal.

But the next moment, they saw Darren Bent passing.

Darren Bent swung his right leg high and landed lightly, kicking the ball to the right front with the top of his foot.

There it is...... Torres!

Just now, Lyon central defender Bodma was defending Torres, but he was deceived by Darren Bent's action and ran two steps past him, and as a result, Torres was unguarded on the right side of the penalty area, and even the goalkeeper was on the other side, and he couldn't come over to block it again.

It's an opportunity to shoot into the empty net!

The next thing is simple, Torres faces the rolling football, and with a gentle push on the inside of his foot, the ball flies into the goal without any suspense.

"Torres!"

"Fernando Torres-!!"

“Gooooooal！！！！”

"With only 13 minutes to play, Torres gave City the lead!"

“1:0！ 1:0！ ”

"This ball...... Bodmar's defense made a mistake and as a result, Manchester City almost passed the ball into the Lyon goal! When Torres shoots, the goalkeeper is on the other side! ”

"Darren Bent put on a brilliant performance with a swing of his feet that fooled the two centre-backs and goalkeeper Wilkout......"

After the goal, almost all commentators praised Darren Bent, and Torres, who helped Manchester City score his first goal in the Champions League this season, was somewhat overlooked.

But in fact, Darren Bent's pass is really not technical.

It's just a feint to shoot, and then a fake pass, stabbing the ball to the other side of the penalty area, the pass is still very accurate, but the technique is not high, and it is not very exciting, the key is Lyon's own mistakes.

Two centre-backs, plus a goalkeeper, they were all deceived.

Wan Sheng watched the goal on the sidelines, and he was a little dumbfounded.

This may be the 'deterrent power' of football stars!

Darren Bent, the number one scorer in the Premier League, is there, and the Lyon team does not pay attention to it, but they pay too much attention to it, and the analysis of Darren Bent's technical strength is too in-depth, thinking that Darren Bent is in a dangerous position and will definitely choose to shoot, but they guessed wrong, which has extremely serious consequences.

Of course, Wansheng is still very happy.

The opponent's mistake is the team's victory, and now that the team is one goal ahead, the next game will be better.

――――

As Wan Sheng thought, after taking the lead, Manchester City played more easily.

It was supposed to be a home game, and after taking a one-goal lead, the Manchester City players played more relaxed amid the cheers of the Manchester City fans, and they continued to play fluent combinations up front, making Lyon in front of goal.

For the next twenty minutes, Lyon didn't put in any decent attack and they were kept under the pressure of Manchester City.

The situation between the two teams can be explained by a set of statistics told by the on-site commentators, "In less than 35 minutes of the game, Manchester City accounted for 63 per cent of the time they had possession, while Lyon had only 37 per cent, and in terms of shots, Manchester City had seven shots on goal, one goal, and Lyon had only two, no threat ......"

This kind of suppressed game made the Lyon players a little confused.

Before the game, they all thought that Manchester City was not confident that the team would win away from home, but it was not half time by now, not to mention the score behind, and the game was quite passive.

Lyon's constant defensive scrambles were not very effective, which was the exact opposite of what coach Alan Perrin said before the game, "as long as we increase the defensive intensity and press harder, the opponent's cooperation will be very chaotic".

They tried hard, but the defense wasn't very good.

A lot of people don't know what to do anymore!

In the away team's dugout at Manchester Stadium, Lyon coach Alain Perrin is also reflecting on this problem, in his memory, the focus of the game against Manchester City is to fight hard, but the team did this, why is it not effective?

After observing the game for a while, Alain Perrin came to a conclusion, which made him break out in a cold sweat - the current Manchester City team is much better than the Manchester City two years ago!

Perrin's impression of Manchester City is still stuck two years ago, in Perrin thinks, that Manchester City was the Premier League champion at that time, and now this Manchester City is also the defending champion of the Premier League, anyway, they are all Premier League champions, Manchester City has also come and gone in transfers, how much worse can the strength be?

But obviously, the Manchester City team in memory is also very good, but the Manchester City team that completely suppressed Lyon on the field is completely two teams.

This Manchester City team on the pitch, the players are strong, the experience is rich, the tactics are mature, the level of performance is completely the best in Europe, and it is a home game, and they are in very good form.

Lyon want to beat such a Manchester City...... It's hard!

By the time Alan Perrin realised the problem, it was too late, and in the 41st minute, City scored another goal that came from a free-kick in front.

Morris took a set-piece and the ball went straight to the right side of the penalty area, and centre-back Copelle Ferreira rushed over to head the ball into the goal, and the ball smashed into the right post and flew out, just in time to fall at the feet of Torres.

The Spanish 'Golden Boy' watched the ball fly over in surprise, and without hesitation, he swung his legs and volleyed directly to win!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! ”

“2:0！ Torres again! A clean volley! ”

"Well done!"

Commentator Belbart said excitedly, "Before the game, Lyon coach Perrin confidently said that Lyon could take away three points at the Manchester Stadium. But I don't know if he still thinks so now? (To be continued.) )
