38 ominous premonitions
Pjanic's shot is wonderful, because such a horizontal pass wants to shoot from a distance, it is difficult to control the direction of the ball, you need to accurately judge the landing point, and the part of the foot must also be accurate, but Pjanic did it, a shot with an outside instep on the back of the foot has power and rotation, and the most bullish thing is that this shot actually broke Juninho's true pass.
Juninho is famous for his defoliating balls, Pjanic's shot is the outside of the instep arc plus the falling leaves, his angle is not tricky, but Kameni's height disadvantage is highlighted here, the ball goes over his hand and immediately falls, almost grazing the crossbar into the net.
Ignoring Hugo's presence at his side, Aura raised his hand in celebration.
Looking back, he was a little embarrassed, "Look, perfect shot!" Gigi, you see what a great lad he is! ”
Aulas reluctantly praised Pjanic, Hugo was also a little dumbfounded, he actually knew the difficulty of the ball better than Aolas, Pjanic's hitting point was almost nearly thirty meters away from the goal, and Pjanic could only be regarded as a scramble, Schweinsteiger's defense was still in place, he had already stretched his feet, and he could almost intercept the ball, maybe a little later, Pjanic didn't even have any chance.
And Hugo has been a coach, even on the training ground, it is not easy to hit such a shot, but this long-range shot is great, but Hugo knows that this goal still has 6 points to rely on luck, and it is not easy to just cross Trapani's defense.
But the trajectory of the ball avoided them.
"Sure enough, a good boy!" In the face of friendly Aolas, Hugo did not raise the bar, but exaggerated Pjanic, and after watching for a few minutes, Trapani was a little embarrassed, but Hugo believed that this was only temporary, and the players were warming up, and they were bound to not be suppressed by Lyon like this again.
Hugo's prediction was not wrong at all, after all, in terms of strength, Trapani is not a star and a half higher than Lyon, in just a few minutes of the opening game, everyone's body is not hot, and when the body is hot, coupled with Lyon's goal, Trapani's players began to pay more and more attention to this game, concentration and body are available, and Lyon's life is sad.
First of all, Trapani's midfield quickly stabilized his mind and helped the team control the tempo, Pjanic and their two teammates in the midfield obviously have a gap with the midfield of Mascherano, Schweinsteiger and Kaka, Pjanic is similar to the front midfield, far from the back, but Mascherano is a back midfield, closer to the back, Pirlo, Alonso has confirmed that this kind of organization of the energy of the back is more conducive to the organization and ground attack.
Trapani's players were emotionally stable, the unexpected loss of the ball did not cause them to panic, Mascherano quickly helped the team to control the situation, and the pitch was like a battlefield, Bielsa did not like useless possession, but he also had to learn to accept some points of view under the general trend, and possession of the ball was conducive to the will of the opponent.
Secondly, Trapani began to threaten in front of the Lyon gate.
After taking control of the situation, Trapani tried a slower rhythm, Lyon made the wrong move, their pressing was fierce, sometimes there was a bit of a vacuum in the midfield, Trapani relied on the passing ability of the players in the team, three times through the midfield line, and all three times brought a threat to Lyon, Lloris began his own performance, first with his fingertips to flick Suarez's header on the goal, and then he also used a perfect stretch of the save, Denying Henry's curling shot from the left side of the box.
Hugo felt pain when he touched his head, and the foreboding premonition before the game came to his heart again, this Lloris is too strong, play super god.
At this time, the twenty minutes of the game had passed, and Poole began to let his team give up high pressing and shrink his defense.
Poole won't give up on offense easily, and Lisandro. Lopez, Delgado, and Govu were not slow to do so, and now he has adapted his formation to a counter-attacking tactic.
The snow fell on the field, there was no geothermal system at the Gerrand Stadium, and the condition of the stadium could not be said to be particularly bad, but it affected the performance of a team like Trapani who paid attention to the coordination of ground passing and cutting, and played a good ball for more than 20 minutes, Lyon gradually regained some momentum, and the game between the two sides fell into anxiety, until the end of the first half, Trapani failed to equalize the score.
Messi and other players have three words written on their faces: unwillingness. Messi received a key greeting today, Poole specially set up marking tactics for him, and then the start of the day was cold, the back body was not cold, the field began to be bad again, the ball was too slippery, Messi controlled the ball and fell into it not as sharp as before, and at the end of the first half, Messi's ankle twisted when he was dribbling the ball, but he didn't say it, he didn't want to leave the game at all.
The midfielder returned to the locker room, Messi received an examination from the team doctor, and it was not a big problem for him to stick to the game, but in such a football environment, the doctor advised him to minimize the time of dribbling the ball, everyone knows that the slippery field is dangerous, Messi can only accept this opinion, and he does not want to be injured and injured, and the problem is more serious than worth the loss.
Bielsa thinks that Messi can go off, his starting point is to be safe, every game in the second half of the season is important, Bielsa naturally does not want to lose this trump card in his hand, his bench is also relatively abundant, and there are completely personnel to replace Messi.
Messi persevered, Bielsa was not good at dampening Messi's enthusiasm, and the team doctor simply dealt with Messi's injury.
Hugo and Olas are still talking and laughing in the stands, but Hugo admires Lyon very much, and the situation on the field is that Lyon is temporarily leading 1:0. Although the lead seemed to be a bit of a fluke, with bad weather conditions, Trapani's unluck and missed chances, Lyon deserved the score on the whole, they didn't threaten much, only two shots on target, but on a few occasions they scared Hugo's heart to jump.
Lyon's defense tended to be solid in the last ten minutes of the first half, and Hugo's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger to know how the defense of a team that could not score goals for Real Madrid could not score.
After the break, the second half of the contest between the two sides began, Lyon did not show weakness, the victory in the first half greatly boosted the morale of Lyon's side, Trapani was considered a technical school, Poole realized that the team not only needs the help of the team's weather, but also has to play hard, at halftime, his mobilization, so that Lyon's players on the field want to eat Trapani's players.
Trapani's players wanted to start the second half and were ready to attack the opposition after the opening, but Lyon were not as obedient in the second half as they were in the first half, moving forward, putting the focus of the defense outside the box rather than inside the box, and in the physical confrontation they were clearly deliberately exploiting, using tactical fouls to stop Trapani's advance.
However, Trapani did not have a high point, and Suarez's flexibility in the front line in the first half made Chris and Boumson suffer a little, but in the second half, these two guys adapted to Suarez's rhythm, and Trapani's midfield was unusually stubbornly blocked, and Suarez looked less powerful as a result.
Lyon's fouls were a bit too much, and Hugo couldn't help but complain to Aulas that your team was too rough.
"Your team is clearly stronger than mine, I don't shy away from it! Where there are so many truths on the court, the way to win is the good way, and the coach who can win the game is the good coach! Olas, unimpressed, laughed, he was in a good mood.
