Chapter 275: Second Round

Lyon, the hegemon of Ligue 1, from the 01-02 season to the 07-08 season, Lyon completed an unprecedented seven consecutive championships, but with the loss of stars in recent years, Lyon's hegemony position is in jeopardy, last season was broken by Bordeaux to break the monopoly of the championship, this season is currently only third in the league, but in this year's Champions Cup, Lyon made a historic breakthrough and entered the semi-finals for the first time.

Gerland Stadium, the home of Lyon, can accommodate more than 41,000 people, although Ligue 1 is one of the five major European leagues, but has always been at the end, although France is a football power, but the French are romantic and lazy by nature, so the French are not fanatical about football.

But this game is different, this is the first time that Lyon has reached the semi-finals, and then it is the final, which is unprecedented for Lyon, so this time, the whole Lyon is in a frenzy, the whole France is cheering for Lyon, and the cheers at the Gerland stadium are like a mountain and a tsunami,

But in the dressing room, Van Gaal looked at his disciples: "The ticket to the Bernabeu is in your own hands, now it is up to you whether you can grasp it, the Champions Cup final, the biggest honour that the club can chase, I don't think anyone can resist such a temptation, in your short career, there will never be too many opportunities like this, so, this game, I want to know clearly, your goal"

"Victory~~~~" Bayern soldiers shouted in unison,

Leaving the locker room, the players from both sides met in the tunnel in a do-or-die affair with the referee from Switzerland named Massimo. Busaka.

Lyon lineup: 451

Goalkeeper: Lloris

Defenders: Sissoko, Boumsson, Chris, Reviere

Midfielders: Bastos, Macon. Gonarlons, Delgado, Govu

Forward: López

Lyon is still a single striker lineup, but compared to the previous game, they have significantly strengthened the defense in the middle and won Pjanic. Replaced by Mâcon, who is more defensively better, at the back, Bumsson returned from injury, and Lyon's air defense has greatly increased.

Bayern Munich: 442

Goalkeeper: Bout

Defenders: Contento, Bad Stuber, Van Bitten, Lahm

Midfielders: Altentop, Li Feng, Schweinsteiger. Robben

Forwards: Muller, Olich

Bayern Munich's line-up has not changed much, Bad Stuber's suspension has ended, but Demichelis has suffered a small injury in training, so Bad Stuber has returned to the central defender position this time, and the big Altentop has replaced Ribery who was red last time.

As soon as the game started, Bayern Munich had a good chance and Lyon kicked off. Pjanic did not play in this game, so Lyon's playmaker fell to the feet of Argentine Delgado. Shortly after the opening, the ball was at the feet of Delgado.

Delgado began to score with the ball, and just as he crossed the halfway line, Li Feng suddenly burst out and rushed towards Argentina, a move that caused Delgado to panic, only to see the latter turn and kick back. The ball went straight to Lyon centre-back Chris.

In the face of Delgado's return pass, Chris slowly stepped forward, and at this moment, Boumson, who was behind Chris, yelled and signaled Chris. Because Bayern Munich's striker Olic is rushing towards the ball.

Breaking the ball, although Chris reacted and rushed forward desperately, the speed was still a step slower, Olic touched the ball first, Olic got the ball and rushed directly to the Lyon penalty area, Chris chased behind him, and Boumson also met Olich.

Olic knew that with his skills, he could break through in the bag, so he passed the ball before he was trapped, and the diagonal pass from outside the box on the right side could only watch as Bumsson could only watch the ball fly past his immediate eyes and fly towards the penalty spot, with another Bayern Munich striker cutting in from behind.

"Oh~~~ It's a pity, Bayern Munich almost scored on the spot, Li Feng's sudden outburst created Delgado's return pass, Olich's struggle forward, Muller inserted a non-stop ball and shot wide of the goal," the German commentator lamented.

The goal was almost broken when he opened, how could Pierre on the sidelines not be angry, I saw that the coach of Lyon immediately jumped up as soon as he sat down, and roared at Delgado, Pierre had told him many times before the game, be careful of Bayern Munich's two midfielders, especially Li Feng, but just start to give yourself such a play.

After the restart, Lyon seemed much more cautious, Lyon's five midfielders only attacked Bayern Munich's midfield after many inverted feet, and even Lopes pulled out of the penalty area, ready to respond at any time, in the face of this situation, Li Feng and Schweinsteiger did not dare to rush up.

Lyon smoothly attacked Bayern Munich's hinterland with a multi-foot pass, and Gonarons ended the attack with a long-range shot, Bayern Munich counterattacked, Li Feng attacked with the ball and was caught by Makon and Gonarlons, and was intercepted by Delgado when he passed back to Schweinsteiger, Lyon's quick counterattack, Delgado was avenged just now.

Delgado passed directly to Lopes, who took the ball outside the penalty area and shook past Bad Stuber and entered the Bayern Munich penalty area, Van Bitten met him, but Lopes did not give Van Bitten a chance, and directly kicked the goal, Bout flew to save.

Lyon won a corner of the game, Bastos sent the ball into the box, Boumsson was in a good position to grab the first spot, and Boumsson had no chance to attack under Van Bitten's entanglement, so Boumsson chose to pass the ball and sent a header to Macon near the left touchline of the penalty area.

In the face of the flying ball, Maccon wanted to shoot, but he was a little weak, Li Feng had been putting pressure on Lyon's back behind him, in this case, Maccon was another header ferry, the ball flew back to the far corner of the Bayern Munich penalty area, and Lyon's other central defender Chris moved a step slower, did not reach the ball, and flew directly out of the bottom line.

Bayern Munich counterattacked, Muller completed the second shot, Schweinsteiger suddenly stepped forward to attract the Lyon defense to pass back to Li Feng, Li Feng made a long pass, the ball crossed the midfield, and flew to Lyon's penalty area, Muller had a heart, and at the moment of Li Feng's pass, he immediately turned around, used his speed to shake off Chris, and rushed into the Lyon penalty area.

Li Feng's long pass fell accurately in front of Muller, Lyon goalkeeper Lloris abandoned the goal, this is a contest between the striker and the goalkeeper, the ball is at the feet of Muller, in the face of Lloris's attack, unlike before, Muller seems a little nervous, in the face of this opportunity, Muller did not make the best choice, he chose a near corner, and his shot was too much to pursue the angle, which eventually led to the ball deflecting the goal again.
