Chapter 278: There Are No Miracles in Lyon
"A 2:0 score is safe? Do you think you're on the safe side? You think you're going to make it to the finals? Look at your performance in the last dozen points of the first half, that's what a team to the final should be? If that's the case, then I tell you, it's a shame to go to the final, and it's a shame to be in front of the whole world," Van Gaal shouted as he looked at his disciples in the away dressing room.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Bayern Munich was comprehensively suppressed by Lyon, almost suppressed by Lyon in his own half, and even a decent counterattack did not come out, if it were not for Lyon's bad luck, it is estimated that the score on the field has changed, no wonder Van Gaal is so angry.
There is no shortage of miracles on the football field, which has been proven in history, the world habitually sympathizes with the weak, those who create miraculous reversals will go down in history, and those who are reversed will be nailed to the pillar of shame, "Istanbul Night" people think of the miracles created by Liverpool, and also think of the reversed AC Milan.
At the same time, in the home team dressing room at the Stadium in Gerrand, Lyon coach Pierre encouraged his team to say: "Bayern Munich is not as strong as imagined, the facts just now prove that we are not worse than Bayern Munich, we still have a chance, luck cannot always be on the side of the Germans, continue to attack in the second half." ”
Fifteen minutes later, players from both sides came back on the pitch, and the final attack of the first half restored Lyon's momentum, and the fans in the stadium were even more hysterical cheering for their team.
The players came on, and Bayern Munich's line-up was unchanged, while Lyon made changes. Gonarons is off. Coming on as a replacement was center forward Gomi. Gomi may not be a strong centre-forward, but he is physically excellent, and in Lyon's attack, Gomi is dedicated to helping López pull the defence and play with his teammates.
Lyon's intention to step up their attack couldn't be more obvious, will Bayern Munich give Lyon that chance in the first half? Of course it can't be, so, after the game started, Bayern Munich used a strong attack to tell the opponent. The only team to reach the final is Bayern Munich.
Olic passed to Muller, who passed back to Li Feng, who did not immediately attack, but waited for the two sides to open up and wait for Bayern Munich's attacking players to enter the Lyon half.
When it was almost over, Li Feng took two steps forward, passed back, and passed the ball to Schweinsteiger behind him, and after passing the ball, Li Feng continued to move forward, and Macon followed closely by Li Feng's side. Delgado rushed towards Schweinsteiger, who had no intention of getting into Lyon's half.
Split the ball on the wing. The ball came to the feet of Ben Luo on the right side, Robben charged with the ball, Sissoko immediately started to intercept, after the previous battle, Sissoko knew very well that if Robben rushed up, then with his current ability, it would be difficult to stop the Dutchman.
Passing, in the face of Sissoko's interception, Robben chose to pass the ball, pushed the middle diagonally, Muller pulled out of the Lyon penalty area, but Muller only transitioned, after receiving Robben's pass, Muller did not stop the ball and passed it directly, Li Feng immediately burst out with amazing speed, shook off Macon, and shot directly in the face of Muller's pass.
"Long-range shot~~~ long-range shot, almost, it's a pity, it's almost, the wind's shot is very powerful, and the Lyon goalkeeper doesn't dare to pick it up," the German commentator lamented, Li Feng's shot finally hit the post and bounced back and was controlled by Bumsson.
Lyon counterattacked, Bumsson passed to Lloris, Lloris kicked out, Delgado rolled a header near the top, Sissoko sent it forward, Bastes continued to pass forward after getting the ball, in this game, Bastos couldn't get past Lahm at all, so he chose to pass very wisely.
López, López pulled out of the penalty area, and at the same time brought Bad Stuber out, knocked back, after receiving Bastos's pass, López knocked back to Delgado, who followed in the middle, who sent a direct overhead pass, Gomi in the box shook off Van Bitten and unloaded the ball.
Bout made a quick decision, rushed out of the small penalty area, saw that the shooting route of the lower road was blocked, Gomi rubbed the ball and picked the shot, Gomi's idea was very good, but the technique at his feet was a little worse, the ball he picked up was high above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
In the next nearly ten minutes, the two sides did not back down from each other, taking turns to attack, Lyon could not prevent Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich could not stop Lyon.
However, football matches are always full of surprises, and in the 59th minute, an irrational act by Lyon's centre-back Chris completely ruined their hopes.
Bayern Munich attacked, Li Feng split the ball Altentop, the latter broke through Revie and crossed, the ball was cleared by Bumsson and fell at the feet of Li Feng outside the penalty area, and Makon, who defended Li Feng, was pressed behind by Li Feng, another opportunity, at this moment, Chris in the penalty area rushed out and fell directly to the ground to tackle.
Immediately Li Feng fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded, and took out a yellow card to Chris, in the face of this yellow card, Chris seemed a little unconvinced, made a clapping action, this action did not escape the referee's eyes, and then showed the second yellow card, two yellows and one red.
Seeing their players sent off the field, the Stadium of Gerrand immediately booed, and at the same time, all Lyonnais knew that they were done and there would be no more suspense in the game.
It is true, after Chris left the field, Bayern Munich took a free kick, Li Feng stood in front of the ball, and after the Lyon wall was lined up, the referee's whistle sounded and he ran ~~~ to shoot.
The ball flew over the wall and flew to the bottom left corner of the Lyon goal, but Li Feng's shot did not score, Lloris made an accurate prediction and flew to block Li Feng's free kick.
The ball bounced back into the box after hitting Lloris's hand, and at this time, a white figure came out of the diagonal and got in front of the ball that bounced back into the box before everyone else, Olich, the Croatian striker from Bayern Munich.
"GOAL~~~ Olich, the Croatian striker's brace, no miracle, no miracle in Lyon, no miracle at the Gerland Stadium, Bayern Munich completely killed the game, locked the ticket to the final, the moment nine years, Bayern Munich once again broke into the Champions Cup final."
Watching Olic score, the Stade Gerland fell silent, and the whole of Lyon fell silent, knowing that the Champions League journey was over.
Van Gaal was relieved to see the goal, knowing that there would be no more surprises in this game and Bayern Munich would have sealed their ticket to the Bernabeu. (To be continued......)
