Qin Xiong's goal finally made all the spectators at the Gerland Stadium realize that the visiting team that came here was the European giants Real Madrid!
Gorgeously breaking down the opponent's defense, excellent individuals played a huge role.
And the picture of Qin Xiong running to the midfield holding the football also made the Real Madrid fans who followed this game feel very excited, which was a spiritual encouragement!
"Real Madrid pulled a goal back! Qin Xiong showed his style, it was his best moment since the start of the game, he teamed up with Raul to destroy Lyon's midfield defence, and completed a wonderful pass on the back line, Ruud van Nistelrooy should have converted Qin Xiong's chance into a goal, but his shot looked rusty, but fortunately the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Kupe and Qin Xiong sent the ball into the net with a follow-up shot.
Is Real Madrid finally waking up? ”
Capello had mixed feelings on the sidelines.
Especially Beckham, who was beside him, also became extremely embarrassed.
At this time, Capello can't risk the world's condemnation to replace Qin Xiong no matter what, otherwise, it will not be a reflection of the style of managing the team with an iron fist, but the head coach is mediocre!
As soon as Qin Xiong scored, he replaced him?
Don't say that the players of Real Madrid will not agree, and the fans will not agree!
But Capello still has to make a substitution, and he can't just let Beckham come out and sit back.
With the score down by just one goal, it is not impossible for the team to equalise or complete the comeback.
Capello replaced Diarra with David Beckham, allowing him to play in a midfield position and increase the accuracy of the ball from the back to the front. It can also be regarded as a manifestation of strengthening the offensive.
Lyon after conceding this goal. The whole team finally shifted the focus of defense to Qin Xiong.
Lyon coach Houllier gestured on the sidelines. is a signal of defensive adjustment.
In response to Qin Xiong's limitations, Lyon had planned before the game, but did not implement it after the opening, because they were sitting at home, first hoping to play their own momentum, and then adjust the offensive and defensive posture according to the offensive quality of Real Madrid.
After the restart, Lyon began to use the tactics of one-sided winging, which means that one of Malouda and Gowu will drop back deeper in the defense to ensure that they can form a defensive pressure on Qin Xiong in the middle of the field. Together with Tulalang, Thiago, and Juninho Jr., who symbolically defended the defence, Lyon hopes to form a posture of encirclement and suppression of Qin Xiong in midfield.
Qin Xiong didn't get carried away because he scored a goal.
As the situation changed on the pitch, he began to create more chances for his team-mates, handing over the task of attacking to Reyes and Raul, and then dragging the opposition midfield defence himself.
In the 65th minute of the game, Reyes crossed to the back of the goal, and Raul barely headed the ball out of the bottom line at the back post.
Three minutes later, Qin Xiong turned the ball back to Beckham with his heel in the middle of the pack. Becky did not stop the ball and directly transferred a large range of long passes, and the football flew to the left side of the frontcourt. Raul slashed into the box after possessing the ball on the wing, and Vanney cut diagonally into the left side of the box and half-turned and volleyed, and the football was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Kupe.
Seeing that Real Madrid's attack began to show a trend of multi-point flowering, Juninho Jr., the core of Lyon's midfield, decided to change his attacking strategy.
It's no longer a blind pursuit of fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Malouda or Govu who retreated down the wing, plus Thiago and Tulalang behind him, surrounded by his closest teammates, he began to control the game with his passes, and soon slowed down the tempo of the game.
At this juncture, Real Madrid's players are a little unstable, because there is not much time left, and the defenders want to snatch the ball back from Lyon as soon as possible, so they have strengthened their pressing enthusiasm, which leads to obvious gaps in the defensive line.
And this is exactly the situation that Lyon's midfield commander Juninho Jr. wants most.
In the 76th minute of the game, Juninho Jr. suddenly sent a diagonal through ball in the midfield, full of penetration, and the right side of Siciño's guard was once again blown up, and the large space in front of Govu's eyes made him not only receive the Júniño's through ball after sprinting, but also advanced the attack to the parallel position of Real Madrid's penalty area, and what is more fatal is that Real Madrid's back line is pressed forward, and now they are retreating, and the adjustment of the marking defense is slightly hasty.
Striker Fred has been in the middle of the straight line forward, after rushing into the penalty area suddenly diagonally to run to the back of the goal, Govu sent a cross outside the penalty area, the football flew through the middle of the penalty area, when falling back to the point, Fred directly headed the ball, the football flew to the reverse cut line, Casillas was moving to block the goal near the post, I didn't expect the football to fly to the reverse of his movement, reflexively jumped on the spot and reached out to block, the result was about 20 centimeters away, I can only look at the ball and sigh!
Real Madrid's goal was penetrated by Lyon three times!
Fred ran frantically and excitedly to celebrate, and the Lyonnais at the Gerain stadium cheered enthusiastically.
Real Madrid is even more embarrassed by this atmosphere.
"Lyon scored their fourth goal of the game and now they are 3-1 ahead of Real Madrid!
It looks like Real Madrid's fate is no different from the fate of their previous visit to the Stadio Gerland.
Real Madrid, who have been in turmoil and turmoil all these years, have exposed a lot of deficiencies in front of Lyon, and it must be admitted that Lyon are very strong, they are one of the most consistent teams in European football in the last five or six years.
And the current situation also illustrates a kind of football law.
The foundation of a strong team depends on the cohesion and cohesion of the whole team.
The new Real Madrid have always felt very inconsistent, sometimes good and sometimes bad, in a 90-minute game, they cannot guarantee a high level of performance for a long time, and it is more dependent on the individual ability of the stars to influence the trend of the game. ”
Capello's face had turned blue on the sidelines as he used up his last substitution, with Robinho replacing captain Raul.
After regaining a two-goal lead, Lyon also began to make changes.
Veteran coach Houllier decided to withdraw his troops and strengthen the defense to ensure victory.
Juninho was substituted, the Stade Gerrand erupted in wild applause and cheers, and the Lyon fans saluted their hero! Juninho had a great game, congratulations! ”
It was Karlström who had a good defensive ability to replace Juninho, and winger Govu was also substituted, and Kleck, a defender, was replaced!
Lyon are planning to forge a steel defence to keep Real Madrid out! (To be continued......)
