Before the Champions League round of 16 really arrives, Lyon still have to play a Ligue 1 game.

On February 20, in the 27th round of Ligue 1, the whole Lyon team went to challenge Lille away.

Lille are currently an all-out third-place team, with the Europa League and the French Cup both out early, while the French League Cup is in the final but only one final remains.

It is precisely because of this that they have no distractions to fight for the top three, and they were able to draw away from Paris in the last round.

In this round at home against Lyon, who is also about to participate in the Champions League elimination, Lille showed his ability to stir up.

Coming up with the best defensive tactics at home, just waiting for Lyon to make mistakes in a hurry.

Yalai was sent off in the 60th minute after accumulating two yellow cards, and then Umtiti elbowed his opponent in a corner.

Lyon lost 1-0 away to Lille with two fewer players, ending a six-game winning streak in the league.

'The whole Lyon team didn't show enough commitment in this game, and it seems that their minds have flown to the Champions League round of 16 in a few days' time.

The French commentary is quite right, Lyon lost the game on the one hand because of the opponent's proper tactics, and on the other hand, because of their own unstable mentality.

It seems that the whole team is in a hurry to play in the knockout round of the Champions League, so they play impetuously in the game.

Zhang Chaoqiang was powerless in the face of this situation.

"Hello, Paris Buster, we are Lyon Buster!"

At the end of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang saw the sign played by Lille fans in the stands.

Inexplicably, Lille seems to be really restrained by Leon.

Lyon's unbeaten run last season was ended by Lille, and this season they lost to each other at crucial moments.

In the last round, the two-point difference was just recovered, and this round was immediately pulled away by three points.

Although the chasing points and losing points are all given by Barrier, but this time and again, Lyon lost one point.

Lyon are now four points behind Paris, and Ibrahimovic has taken the opportunity to pull back two goals.

"The knockout rounds of the Champions League are coming soon, and hopefully this defeat won't affect the mentality of the whole Lyon team."

The same is true of the domestic commentary.

Immediately after returning to Lyon, the team's coaching staff gathered the players for a team-wide meeting.

"We can't change the games of the past, we don't have to worry about it anymore."

'Now we have to face the next opponent, Chelsea, a very special opponent.

"They're famous, but they're in the midst of weakness."

"I believe everyone knows that they have just encountered a huge turmoil, and they have also changed their coach temporarily, and they cannot play their full strength."

"We have a good chance of beating them as long as we are in normal form, and the reputation of beating them is far greater than the effort."

Lyon's Champions League last-16 run against Chelsea was certainly not too good, but it wasn't too bad either.

At least it's much better than meeting Bayern, Barcelona, Atletico and the like.

Speaking of which, Chelsea are the reigning champions of the Premier League and have a good overall quality.

But they were in civil strife at the start of the new season.

In the first round of the new Premier League season, Chelsea host Swansea City.

The Blues were twice levelled with two leads, and were shown a red card in the second draw.

Swansea had a one-on-one chance when Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois tripped and awarded a penalty before being sent off for a red card.

Speaking of which, the Swansea player who made the penalty and the red card was none other than former Lyon striker Gomi.

It was supposed to be just a normal Premier League game, and even a draw wouldn't be a big deal.

However, in stoppage time, Chelsea attacked with the ball and Eden Hazard was tripped by the Swansea captain and immediately fell to the ground.

Chelsea's female team doctor, Eva, immediately came on to check on Hazard's injury, but Jose Mourinho was furious and cursed from the sidelines.

According to Premier League rules, if a player on the pitch is injured and the team doctor is brought in, the player must be removed from the pitch for medical treatment and can only return to the pitch after receiving approval from the referee.

Chelsea were already playing with one man less, and the team doctor's rash entry led to Hazard's departure, so Mourinho was very angry and blamed the stupid medical team after the game for causing him to lose the game.

But Ava is not a vegetarian either, believing that she was just doing her job as a team doctor and that she had done nothing wrong, so she fought back on social media.

This is the team doctor door incident that led to the rapid rout of Mu Phase II.

Jose Mourinho was a topic of conversation in his own right, and the team's goal was quickly disseminated by the English media.

The key is that Mourinho did not mean to calm down at all, and soon issued a ban on Ava, not allowing her to participate in anything in the Chelsea team again.

Ava was also unequivocal, threatening to take Mourinho to court on charges of workplace persecution and gender discrimination.

As a result, the team doctor became more and more noisy, causing a storm in the city, and making the English tabloids earn enough traffic.

On top of that, the team's doctor quickly sparked infighting in the Blues, with Jose Mourinho gradually losing control of the dressing room.

Last season, they were the champions of the Premier League, and this season they have been out of form for a long time.

The most obvious is Eden Hazard, who has been at the heart of the Blues and has always helped the team with his dribbling.

But after the team's medical goal broke out, he rarely broke through with the ball on the field, and almost every time he received a pass, he quickly transferred it to his teammates, playing like a point-grabbing striker.

But he has never been a player who specializes in shooting from the spot.

As a result, as the defending champions, Chelsea's results plummeted, and they hung half-dead at the door of the relegation zone for a long time.

Finally, in mid-December, Chelsea owner Abou Abdul announced the sacking of Mourinho and invited Dutch coach Guus Hiddink to be interim manager.

Overall, Chelsea have just experienced the team doctor and Mourinho's sacking and should be damaged in a short period of time, and Lyon have every chance to beat each other.

"This game is Zhang Chaoqiang's first Champions League knockout game, and it is also his seventh cumulative Champions League game."

"There were three Chinese players who played in the Champions League before Zhang Chaoqiang, Sun Xiang played 4 times, Hao Junmin played 2 times, Dong Fangzhuo played 1 time, and now Zhang Chaoqiang alone has equaled the cumulative number of appearances of the three of them."

'Chelsea have been in constant form this season, and as the reigning champions of the Premier League, they are currently 12th in the Premier League table.

"But Lyon's situation is not very good, they have just suffered a defeat in Ligue 1, not only has their winning streak been ended, Zhang Chaoqiang's scoring streak has also been interrupted, and it is Hazard's old club Lille who has interrupted these records."

Lyon are in the regular 442 formation at home, and at the moment, except for Fekir, they are considered to be fully staffed.

The Blues and Chelsea were in a 4231 formation.

Defenders: Cesc Fabregas, Mikel;

Defenders: Hazard, Willian, Pedro;

[You launch a steal on Eden Hazard, outbreak +1]

Hazard is also a player with a speed burst of more than 80, but the speed is slightly lower and he can't steal, but he can steal a little higher in the explosion.
