The Manchester media are eyeing Manchester City's rivals Leon, while Lyon's media are also eyeing their rivals Manchester City.

The most feared by Lyon is naturally Rongguang, who has rich experience in the Champions League, as long as he participates in the Champions League, he has won the top scorer, which is enough to show his strength.

But Lyon are not entirely without an edge and City's recent inconsistent form could be a good opportunity for them.

Football is a team sport after all, and if Manchester City are to rely on glory alone, then Lyon still have an advantage.

Lyon is no stranger to glory, having played each other back in the 2004-2005 season.

It was Rongguang's first time playing in the UEFA Champions League.

At that time, Werder Bremen was still in Werder, and they reached the round of 16 as group runners-up, facing Lyon in the quarter-finals.

In the first leg, Werder Bremen was on their home turf.

At the time, Lyon were still dominating Ligue 1, and they had just reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, and they were also a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.

Facing Champions League newcomers Werder Bremen, everyone thinks that Lyon can at least get a draw away from home.

The result?

Glory scored a hat-trick in that game to help Werder Bremen win 3-0 at home.

It was also Glory's first hat-trick in Champions League history.

Knocking out all the suspense of the two-legged home and away matches in one game is really eye-catching.

That game also gave Lyon a glimpse of the power of Glory, a Champions League newcomer.

Chris, Lyon's main centre-back at the time, was impressed.

Now, five years later, Chris is still Lyon's main centre-back, and he also wears the captain's armband, replacing his compatriot, Juninho Jr., who has left the team, to become Lyon's captain.

In fact, as early as in Brazil, Chris played against Glory as Cruzeiro's main central defender. He knew in Brazil that glory was great.

The encounter in the Champions League only strengthened his mind.

Glory is a real talent, and the kind of talent who can make a big career.

As a Brazilian player, Chris has seen a lot of young talent, but what these talents have achieved in the end is not directly proportional to their talent.

Glory can.

So Chris didn't dare to underestimate the glory.

Before this game, as the captain of the team, Chris repeatedly emphasized the power of glory.

Even if the game is about to start, he is still talking.

"Wing is the absolute heart of Manchester City and the most dangerous player, so don't take him lightly! A second of distraction can lead to a goal conceded! ”

For the captain's words, some people care, some people don't.

As the players made their way from the dressing room to the pitch, young left-back Ali Sissoko said to his team-mate Jean-Alain Boumson: "Who doesn't know that Wing is one of the strongest players in football today? I felt that the captain repeatedly stressed that this was useless except to increase our tension......"

Bumsson said: "The captain wants us to value Rong......

Sissoko smiled: "Who doesn't value him? I simply attach too much importance to the duel with Rong! ”

As he spoke, he jumped up, twisted his waist and shook his body, as if he were preparing for boxing.

"Don't worry, I'll freeze him in this game!"

In this game, Ali Sissoko, who plays as Lyon's main left-back, will face Glory on the right, and the two will be in front of each other.

Before the game, Lyon's coach Claude Pierre emphasized the strength of Glory to Sissoko, and even gave him a highlight show of Glory to make it easier for him to understand this opponent.

Sissoko didn't let the disc go home and put it away, he did his research. So he repeatedly emphasized that the glory was strong and felt that it was a cliché to the captain.

Sissoko has his own ideas, his fighting spirit is not pretended, he is really so combative, he wants to defeat Glory.

Why?

Because he realized that it was a great opportunity.

In the face of all the people, if he can defeat Glory, what a huge influence it will be?

Sissoko has a very desperate thirst for success, which is due to a frustration he encountered last summer - Ali Sissoko, who was still playing for Portuguese powerhouse Porto at the time, attracted the attention of Serie A giants AC Milan because of his outstanding performance, and it was naturally Sissoko's dream to join the world-renowned club AC Milan.

In the end, AC Milan and Porto agreed on a transfer fee, which was sold for 15 million euros. The transfer is already a foregone conclusion.

But at this time, something went wrong in the transfer medical examination. The results of the AC Milan medical examination concluded that Sissoko had a problem with his teeth, which could cause problems with the spinal cord and muscles.

Eventually, negotiations broke down, Sissoko didn't go to AC Milan, and then he moved to Lyon.

Lyon's manager, Pierre, used him to fill the void left by the departure of left-back Grosso, and he became the starting player for Lyon's left-back.

Despite this, it still could not calm the resentment and anger in Sissoko's heart.

Anger against AC Milan, anger at Galliani.

He thinks it's ridiculous to cancel a transfer just because he has a tooth problem, and it's a humiliation for himself!

Others are because of injuries in knees, muscles, ankles and other parts of the guide to transfer failure, but they are because of teeth?

I'm a soccer player!

I'm a kicker!

Do you have to play football with your teeth?!

Now all of Europe knows that I was the unlucky guy who was rejected by AC Milan because of my unqualified teeth!

Sissoko's anger is justified, as more than one dental hospital has come to Sissoko to offer him a free orthodontic procedure, in order to get them to advertise that they have operated on Ali Sissoko......

Sissoko, of course, would have thought that this was a hospital mending, a humiliation for chasing after him, so he angrily refused.

But people's ridicule and misunderstanding will not disappear because of this.

Sissoko thinks it's all AC Milan's fault, and he wants to prove his ability in the game and tell everyone, especially AC Milan themselves, what a good player they have missed!

So after arriving in Lyon, Sissoko's cousin worked very hard and did well, helping Lyon challenge Bordeaux, last season's league winner.

But that's not enough, far from it.

The impression of him has not changed.

This made Sissoko realize that unless he made something very outstanding, it would not help.

It was at this time that Lyon welcomed Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals, and as a left-back, he also ushered in ...... Glory.

He immediately thought it would be the best opportunity ever.

If he can freeze the glory in the game and let the glory go before it helps Lyon knock out Manchester City, then he will be famous all over the world overnight!

When the time comes, no one will dare to laugh at the fact that they were turned away from AC Milan because of their dental problems.

He will be a favorite for all the big clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich...... Take your pick!

Of course, AC Milan is certainly in these teams, but they will not choose them, let them regret it forever! Regret losing such a good left-back who could have been their Maldini successor!

Thinking of this, Ali Sissoko's whole body trembled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to play.

He will show glory and the whole world how powerful he is!

But right now, he can't do that, he has to honestly line up in line and wait for the referee to lead the players from both sides.

In the process of waiting, his gaze almost never took off the glory.

If his gaze could materialize, the glory had been pierced by Sissoko's gaze.

※※※

Glory didn't care about Sissoko's gaze, because he had always been watched in his countless previous games, so he was used to being the center of attention.

It's not unusual for someone to look at him. If he had to look back every time, his cervical spine would have been overstrained......

Some of Glory's teammates may have seen Sissoko's gaze, but they didn't take it seriously.

The look and expression of the black boy looking at Glory was something that even their Glory teammates were used to.

At this time, the referee walked out of the break room with his referee team, and everyone's attention shifted to them.

The game is about to start and it's time to play.

Ali Sissoko finally withdrew his gaze, which was almost glued to Glory, and walked forward with his teammates, his chest puffed out, his head held high, and he looked confident.

It's his home turf, his turf.

I'm in charge of my territory.

He's going to let the glory be deflated here.

※※※

"They're out!"

When the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, the audience erupted in a huge cheer.

Lyon's fans are desperately cheering on their team.

In the face of glory, they had to do this to increase their confidence.

At the same time, they also hope that such a warm home atmosphere will scare the Manchester City players and make them play less normally, even if it is not the whole team, but a few people who are not playing normally......

The close-up of the televised broadcast swept over each player's face, and the time spent on the face of glory was the most.

After two years, returning to the knockout round of the Champions League, what kind of performance can he come up with?

As the captain, when shaking hands before the game, Rong Guang and Chris bumped into each other.

Lyon's captain Chris and Rong Guang completed a series of procedures such as shaking hands, exchanging team flags, and picking edges.

Ali Sissoko saw it from a distance and said to himself, "I'm too nervous!" ”
