Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 519
At the beginning of the game, the two teams fell into constant temptation, but after more than ten minutes, Real Madrid gradually strengthened their offensive.

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

For example, Wang Li is on the wing, which increases the time of dribbling the ball. When he gets the ball, he seldom gives the ball directly to his teammates as in the opening game. He uses cooperation to play short passes and penetrates more. Bring, to find opportunities for the team to score goals; for another example, David Beckham increased the number of long passes, and his long pass to the right made Lyon fall into extreme passivity for a while.

These are just a sketch of the game. In fact, many Real Madrid players have consciously stepped up their offense. In this way, on the whole, Real Madrid's offense has become sharper.

This so-called invincible galaxy battleship finally launched a fierce attack on Lyon's goal after being silent for more than ten minutes. It looked like it was using offense to destroy the opponent. This is also the game Carlo made before the game. , Real Madrid has to do only attack.

Although playing like this is somewhat risky, Carlo feels that a game lasts 90 minutes. In these 10 minutes, even if the team is scored twice by the opponent because of the defense, Real Madrid can still score more goals than the opponent. Besides, on the football field, offense is the best defense. Strengthening the offense can also make the opponent have no chance to attack, and even make them panic, so as to gain an overall advantage.

Now the Real Madrid players on the field are doing this kind of work. Their offense is very gorgeous. Except for Wang Li occasionally dribbling the ball on the wing, the other players are all passing the ball with one kick. Back in the quarter, before they noticed, they had been beaten and shrunk in the backcourt.

Such a situation is what Carlo hopes to see. The opponent's defense Real Madrid is not afraid at all. After experiencing Benfica's 11-man defensive tactics, what else is there to be afraid of Real Madrid?
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 Lyon's big penalty area, the pass between them was very tacit, turning Lyon's players around, but they couldn't help it. Without chasing the ball, such a performance can't be seen at all that it's only been a game for more than ten minutes.

The players all seemed to get into the game, and some had the occasional flash of inspiration.

Now, Real Madrid has a 433 formation. This formation can be described as total defense. The forwards Wang Li and Robinho are on the left and right respectively. The mission is support.The combination of Baptista's speed and dribbling, coupled with Beckham's passing, is reassuring.

In fact, Raul has the most opportunities in the middle. If there are no opportunities on both sides, then all opportunities are in the middle. Wang Li is on the right, so Lyon’s defense on the left is relatively intensive. Raul had many chances.

It's a pity that Real Madrid's attack did not bring a goal. Raul shot a long-range shot with no power outside the penalty area and was easily caught by the opponent's goalkeeper Kupet. What followed was Lyon's counterattack.

"Raul, you can move forward later, try to stay in the restricted area"

When Lyon kicked off, Wang Li did not directly return to the defense, but the jogger said to Raul.In fact, he wanted to pass the ball into the penalty area just now, but Raul stood too far outside. He felt that the shots outside the penalty area were almost a waste of opportunity for these teammates.

Hearing this, Raul glanced at the ring on his finger and nodded sullenly, but at this moment, the two of them stopped unconsciously and looked towards their own restricted area.

Lyon's counterattack was very fast! !

On the middle road, apart from Juninho who led Lyon's attack, the most outstanding player is undoubtedly Florent Malouda.

Florent Malouda! !

Perhaps, this name is a bit unfamiliar to ordinary fans, but in fact, his ability is no less than that of big-name stars.

The reason why big-name players are big-name is not just because of their outstanding ability, but also because of many other factors, such as commercial value, and impressive ability.Take Roberto Carlos as an example. Why can this player become a superstar in Real Madrid's publicity?It's not how good his defense is, but his long-range shooting ability is very memorable to the fans. This, coupled with his contribution and stable performance, will make Real Madrid interested in introducing him.

And a player like Malouda is another category. He doesn't have too eye-catching ability, nor does he have too good appearance, that is, commercial value, but his personal ability is beyond doubt.

This year, Malouda is 26 years old.

He was born in Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, and because of his outstanding performance in the local team, he was brought to France by the French second-tier team Saudi Aurux. He began to represent the team in the professional league at the age of 19. A year later he Introduced by the Guingamp team as a left midfielder, he soon became the initiator of the team's attack on the left.
In the summer of 2003, Lyon introduced this player with outstanding offensive talent. In the Lyon team, the left-footed Malouda has the most flexible position. left winger.

In the past two seasons, Malouda has achieved rapid growth, especially in the last season, he had an unforgettable performance in the Champions League and Ligue [-]. His breakthrough and assists on the left became an important weapon for the Lyon team to score goals .

Such a player has an ordinary career. He may not have the ability to shine, but it is undeniable that Malouda's strength is no worse than that of big-name players, and his overall average performance is even much better than that of ordinary players. .

But now, under the watchful eyes of [-] fans at the Stade de France and countless fans in front of TVs and computers, Malouda showed his extraordinary speed. Ham's distance, and then he ran wildly in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Real Madrid's offense just now made their defense too loose.

In this way, Malouda was almost unimpeded. When he reached the outside of the penalty area, he finally encountered the first defender, which was Pavon.

Although many players have put in assists, Pavon has not. He has been sticking to Real Madrid's backcourt, but at this time, his strength alone is really limited. Seeing Pavon, Malouda's first reaction was to throw the ball towards Push left——
Sidney Govou, who was plugged in behind, has jumped to the front of the ball! !

It is worth mentioning that Gewu is another player with strong strength but a bad reputation.

The leader of France's new generation of players, Govou started out as a midfielder, thanks to his lightning speed, before switching to striker, a transition that quickly made him stand out in the youth teams.

As early as 20 years old, Govou had entered the Lyon senior team and represented the team in Ligue [-] matches. When he crossed the world, it happened to be his Ligue [-] debut.

In the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 2000/01 season, Govou scored two goals against Bayern Munich. Lyon has not received much attention in Europe. Except for professional football coaches, few fans will pay attention to this ordinary-looking black man.

In the following season, Govou played 29 times in the league and scored 10 goals, helping the team win the Ligue [-] championship for the first time in history. At the same time, he continued to perform well in the UEFA Champions League. Both Neibach and Leverkusen scored goals.
At this time, Govou has become the core figure of the striker of the French under-21 national team, and led the team to the final of the 2002 European Under-21 Youth Championship, losing to the Czech youth team in a penalty shoot-out.

These are just Govou's performances in the club and the French youth team. In fact, in August 2002, Govou was called into the national team by the new French coach Santini. Completed his debut performance in the national team and scored a goal.

His outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many top clubs in Europe. For this reason, the Lyon team renewed the contract with Govou, and the contract will be extended until 2008.

The strength of such a player, really speaking, is not inferior to any player on the front line of Real Madrid. In fact, it is also true. If Real Madrid wants to introduce a player like Govou, it is absolutely impossible without spending tens of millions of euros.

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

However, now these are incidental, the important thing is that Govou received a pass from his teammate on the penalty area line, and he was unguarded.At the same time, Casillas couldn't help attacking.

But it's too late! !

After Gewu received the ball, he glanced left and right with rich experience, and took a step forward when he saw that there was no defense.

"Goal!!! Sidney Govo!!!"

"It's really surprising. Lyon scored the first goal. It was the team's main striker Govou. This player is very famous in Lyon, but maybe many people don't know his information, so let's see His previous performance"

Many fans in the world don't know the name Govou, but that doesn't stop Lyon supporters from celebrating their goals. They do know Govou. In Ligue [-], the name Govou is no stranger. reports.

After Lyon's goal, Real Madrid's coach Carlo looked natural. It seemed that he was very confident and didn't get too entangled in this goal.

In fact, this is also the case. Carlo feels that it is normal for the opponent to score a goal first. Real Madrid's victory is not based on the opponent's failure to score.Real Madrid's defense is not solid, but as long as they score more goals in 90 minutes, the team can win. He has always thought so, so Carlo didn't worry too much when Lyon scored a goal. Just signaled the players to continue playing like this.

On the other side, Lyon's coach Houllier was happy.

Before the game, the reason why he dared to formulate tactics against Real Madrid was because he had confidence in the strength of the team. Perhaps in the eyes of some ordinary fans, such an idea was strange, but Houllier didn't think so at all. I feel that the strength of the team is worse than that of Real Madrid, except of course that black-haired kid.

Real Madrid does have a lot of stars, but so what?The performance of a star is not necessarily good, and the role of a star is not necessarily stronger than that of an ordinary player.

A team can have 1,2 or [-] stars, but not all of them are stars, and there will definitely be problems.General coaches understand this truth. After all, the existence of stars is more due to their outstanding personal ability and being shaped by the media and clubs. affected by external factors.

This is the team-building policy of ordinary wealthy teams: a few stars, plus some unknown and powerful blue-collar players.

Obviously, Juninho is the only star player in the Lyon team. Maybe the goalkeeper Coupet is also famous, but the position of goalkeeper has limited his development.

And other players can be regarded as blue-collar workers on the court. Govou and Malouda belong to the best of these blue-collar workers. They are not well-known, but they are very strong.

Houllier's confidence is also based on these players.

At least, the current situation on the field has proved his point of view is correct, and Real Madrid, the team is likely to win.

At this time, the Lyon team was celebrating wildly. Seeing this scene, Wang Li frowned, so he protested with the referee on the field. As a teammate of Real Madrid, he has this right.

"Mr. Coach, I think they are delaying the game." Wang Li said so.

Therefore, under the intervention of the head coach, Lyon had to end the celebration early, and then the game between the two teams restarted.

"Raul, you stand a little more forward." After the game resumed, Wang Li reminded again.

On the right flank, he was heavily defended by Lyon, and it was not easy for him to shoot himself. However, he could pass a very threatening through pass, so he always emphasized this point.

At this time, Wang Li was thinking, if Raul is not in good form today, then he can only play a shadow striker. After all, the position of the right striker is not very suitable for direct shots. This is more of a second striker means.

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 placed him here in this formation, and Wang Li's performance can also be very good, at least he His offense and passing are rarely hindered, and it is really difficult for Lyon's defenders to guard him.

However, as the captain of the team, Wang Li didn't want to play like before. That might be a bit like Romario the lone wolf. The whole team gave him all the opportunities. That's all for the wolf, and he didn't do the corresponding duties of the captain.

Therefore, in desperation, Wang Li made such a choice, and now he still trusts his teammates more.

In such a situation, Wang Li felt that he was not suitable for the captain's armband, because he was indeed not suitable for the role of "handsome", and he preferred to be a "general" who charged forward.

Perhaps, a lone wolf is lonely, and it can be said to be lonely, but as long as it can bring victory, isn't that the most correct choice?
At least the teammates believed in Wang Li.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid stepped up their offensive again. They seemed to be completely unaffected by the goal just now, and played very steadily every time they attacked. This situation made Carlo feel more at ease.

The Lyon team, with the prestige of just scoring a goal, is also playing with great momentum. Although their offense is not as fierce as Real Madrid's, they can still pose a threat to Real Madrid's defense.

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

Mourinho, who is sitting in the VIP box, is more optimistic about Real Madrid. He has played against Real Madrid. He is very aware of Real Madrid's offensive ability. He is even more aware of the offensive ability of the black-haired kid on the field. There is no doubt of.

Just like this time, when Real Madrid attacked to the right, the black-haired kid was surrounded by three people, and still passed the ball accurately with a few dribbles. This performance was really amazing and attracted all the fans Unconsciously applauding, even the French fans.

That's the appeal of superstar performance.

However, maybe other Real Madrid players did not wear shooting boots. In this attack, Wang Li made a very precise through pass, but Raul wasted the opportunity. The latter was unguarded in the penalty area. Kicking the ball out of the goal frame, the Real Madrid supporters in the audience sighed unconsciously.

"He has gone downhill again." Carlo, who was off the field, said with emotion.

In Real Madrid, although Carlo was coaching in the second-tier team, Raul was almost grown up by him. It seems that until now, Carlo still thinks that Raul is the golden boy of Real Madrid and Spain.

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

It didn't take long for such emotion, Carlo's heart sank directly, because the Lyon team scored again, this time it was Lyon's first star Juninho Jr.! !

This is a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Juninho directly completed a cold shot with his left foot in the penalty area. It was too late for Casillas to react, and the football went straight into it. Goal Dead End ---
2: 0.

Lyon took the lead, leading Real Madrid by two goals.
