Chapter 121: Tough and Tough Leon!
Away team locker room.
As the Lyon players comforted Essien, Le Guin took the opportunity to say to his players: "We are going to crush racism with a victory!" ”
Le Guin's words inspired the Lyon players to come together to win the game!
Home team dressing room.
The players who calmed down realized that the cancer of racism had finally appeared. FIFA has been cracking down on racism on the pitch and the club will certainly be punished by the French Football Federation after the game. They are undoubtedly proud to stand out from the crowd of competitors and become professional footballers. Proud, they must defeat their opponents with dignity, and they must have a bottom line in their provocations.
The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit oppressive.
Tang Jue lowered his head and drank water, his expression a little depressed. The game has a lot to do with him. If it had only been the fans who had insulted Essien and he hadn't used the fans' words to provoke Essien, the first half of the game would not have turned into hand-to-hand combat.
Dewu walked over to Tang Jue and sat down, patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and said, "Tang, everyone makes mistakes. You don't have to take it personally. ”
Anyone could guess why Essien was elbowing Tang in anger. As captain, Deu is obliged to address some of the problems that arise with the players. Tang Jue looked up at Dewu, and Dewu said with a smile: "I also did such a thing at the beginning. ”
Dewu's smile was very contagious, and his words slowly dissolved the guilt in Tang Jue's heart.
The guilt on Tang Jue's face slowly disappeared, and he let out a long exhale. The burden in my heart also exhaled out of my body with this breath!
……
The second half restarted with Lyon fighting back in silence to avenge Essien with a victory. The overall strength was superior, and Lyon gradually controlled the midfield, turning their anger into a strong fighting spirit, penetrating through the middle again and again, threatening the goal of Saint-Germain.
In the first fifteen minutes, Lyon had four shots. Govu's shot in the ninth minute was the most threatening, as the ball went past Letizi's finger and slammed into the right-hand post. Let the home fans break out in a cold sweat!
The first to score the goal was not the attacking Lyon, but the passive Saint-Germain. In the nineteenth minute, Tang Jue, who gave up his burden, made a sharp breakthrough on the right side of Lyon.
When he faced Abidal, his eyes just looked to the right, and when the center of gravity just fell to the right, Essien, who was unwilling to give up, pounced from behind. Essien slammed his left shoulder, and Tang Jue was knocked away. Losing his center of gravity, Tang Jue fell to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle and pointed his finger at Lyon's goal, signaling that it was a direct free-kick from outside the box.
There was no quarrel, and Tang Jue stood up from the turf in silence. Boskovic stood at the back of the ball, and Lyon's frontcourt players lined up a wall. The referee blew the whistle, and Boskovic began to slowly accelerate, "Smack!" "There was a crunch and the ball flew off the turf!
Passing through the Lyonnais wall, the ball goes straight to the top left corner of the goal with an unstoppable momentum!
In the blink of an eye, the soccer ball is in the net!
The ball is in!
The score became 1-0 and the passive Saint-Germain took the lead!
Football matches are like that, just because you have the advantage on the field doesn't mean you win. Just because you're passive doesn't mean you don't have a chance to win.
……
Falling behind 0-1, Lyon did not lose their fighting spirit, and their attack was more ferocious. They finally paid off in the 30th minute when Govu took advantage of a corner to beat Sack in the box and slotted the ball into the netted goal of Letici.
The score became 1-1 and the two sides were back on the same page.
In the next game, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and Tang Jue tried to tear Lyon's defense with his sharp breakthroughs, but he fell on the turf again and again.
Restricted by the Lyon defenders with foul tactics and unable to stage a sharp breakthrough at the Parc des Princes stadium, Tang Jue tried to cooperate with his teammates!
In the 35th minute, Tang Jue got Reinaldo's header in the penalty area, turned his back to the goal, and volleyed a barb!
Just as the home fans were about to cheer, the crossbar slammed into their throats. The ball hits the crossbar and bounces off the bottom line.
In the 40th minute, Tang Jue received a wonderful pass from Boskovic and inserted it into the Lyon penalty area like a sword. Abidal made a flying tackle, Tang Jue could only dribble the ball to the right side of Lu, and after three steps, Tang Jue got up and shot with his feet!
It's a pity that the angle is too small, and the football is blocked by Kupe from the bottom line!
Time was passing quickly, and just when the fans of both sides thought that the game would end 1-1, the situation on the field changed abruptly!
The importance of the game needs no more words, and the resilient and tough Lyon could not easily give up the victory, taking every opportunity to put pressure on the Saint-Germain goal.
In the 43rd minute, the free kick master Juninho used a direct free kick in front of the penalty area to blast away the goal guarded by Letici!
The tough Lyon actually reversed the score and scored two goals in a row to lead 2-1 when they were down 0-1!
If Lyon take all three points in this game, the difference between the two sides will become seven. With five rounds of matches left in Ligue 1, the seven-point difference is so huge that it is like a wide canyon that Saint-Germain cannot jump over. Well, this season's Ligue 1 title is in Lyon's bag!
The Saint-Germain players are aware of the consequences and cannot expect other Ligue 1 sides to hold back Lyon's title in the last five games.
After the goal, the Lyon players wisely chose to shrink into their own half. Time is the biggest weapon in their hands, and the French Football Federation stipulates that the stoppage time of a game cannot exceed five minutes. So with stoppage time, there are eight minutes left in the game. They held on for these eight minutes, and they defended this year's Ligue 1 title, completing the unprecedented four consecutive championships in the history of the team!
If such a scenario had happened to other teams in Ligue 1, their players and coaches would have been proud. It has never happened before that has never happened before that can make the Ligue 1 boss shrink into half the pitch to defend!
If it were another time, Lyon would definitely not do it, they would continue to attack. The significance of this victory is too high. Winning this match, they dominate the race for the title. So they made a very wise choice. As long as you win the game, you can believe it, as for winning a few goals, it's not the point.
There is no pride in the eyes of the Saint-Germain players, and there is no pride in the eyes of Waide Alilozik. The Ligue 1 champions faded away from them as time passed. The stunning performance in the middle and late stages of Ligue 1 this year will lose its luster due to the defeat in this crucial game.
Frustration welled up from the bottom of Sark's heart, and his eyes were a little dumbfounded.
Dewu roared: "Brothers cheer up, the game is not over yet, we are not dead yet!" ”
After a brief silence, the Saint-Germain fans erupted in an astonishing shout: "Saint-Germain! Saint-Germain! ”
They used shouts to drive away the frustration in the hearts of the players, and the overwhelming shouts were like the beating of war drums, one after another, one after another, and one after another to awaken the fighting spirit of the Saint-Germain players!
Manchester United completed the treble in '99, and in the Champions League final, it was in the worst stoppage time that scored two goals in a row to complete a great comeback at Camp Nou.
It's a classic that inspires a lot of teams to be reluctant to quit when they're behind.
It was much more than a football game, and the United men were the embodiment of the spirit of never giving up. Only with the spirit of never giving up can miracles be created.
At this time, people did not expect that such a miracle would be staged again in the Champions League final more than a month later. The Reds Liverpool were 3-0 down in the first half, but staged a shocking comeback in the second half, scoring three goals in a row. dragged the two sides into the penalty shootout, and Liverpool, who was the most powerful at the bottom, defeated Milan in the penalty shootout and lifted the Big Ears Cup!
There is no shortage of such examples in the green field, and only with a strong heart and the spirit of never giving up can we create such a miracle.
Saint-Germain also do not want to give up on the game, they want to take their fate into their own hands. At the very least, they need to equalise and keep the difference between the two sides at 4 points, so that they can overtake Lyon in the last five rounds and win the Ligue 1 title!
The team has reached the most critical moment, and the crucial game of this year's Ligue 1 title race has entered the final stage. Xiao Feifei said in Tang Jue's mind: "Master, now that the situation is in crisis, let me help you!" ”
