Chapter 483: French Overlord (1)
Lyon FC has not achieved great results in the history of French football, but the best thing is that they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in the sixties, and reached the final of the French Cup three times and won it twice. Until the end of the 90s, Lyon was led by Cyntini to win the top three in the league in a row, and finally reached the French top league championship for the first time in 2002, and in the same year Löguin succeeded the team as the team's manager, he continued to lead Lyon to maintain momentum, plus the players in the team, Juninho Jr., Diarra, Cristiano? Max? Gomez, Michael? Essien, Sidney? Govu and goalkeeper Gregory? A number of outstanding players such as Coupe have won three league titles from 2003 to 2005, winning the league title four times in a row, equalling the record of four consecutive titles in Saint-Etienne in the late 1960s and Marseille in the early 1990s. Former Liverpool manager Gérard in 2005? Houllier returns to France as the new head coach and joins Portuguese midfielder Thiago and former Valencia striker Johan? Karui. He also managed to lead Lyon to a Ligue 1 title.
In 2007, Lyon became the first French football club to go public, and the advantage in Ligue 1 was even greater, and in the 06-07 season, Lyon celebrated the club's sixth consecutive league championship with six rounds of league games in advance, becoming the first team in the history of Europe's top five leagues to win six consecutive league titles. In the 2007-08 season, Lyon once again successfully defended their league title, achieving seven consecutive victories.
It is a shame to say that after two matches against the Lyon second-tier team and the mixed team with the National Olympic team, Han Sen was not able to step into the real home of the Lyon team, the Gerland stadium. This was undoubtedly one of the manifestations of the weakness of the national Olympic team at that time, and now that he has returned to Lyon with the Champions League giants, this mixed feeling is beyond words.
"CCTV. Hello everyone, welcome to the early hours of the midweek, watch the first leg of this season's Champions League quarterfinals, today we bring you a match between the French hegemon Lyon and Spain's Barcelona team, hello everyone, I am Duan Xuan. Today, I will explain this game to you with the familiar Zhang Lu, Zhang Guide. Duan Xuan hurriedly introduced Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu smiled: "Hello everyone! There will be more Chinese viewers who should be tuning in today because of the knockout round of the Champions League. Chinese player Han Sen has definitely started the game, and this is also the 0607 season after Sun Xiang started for PSV Eindhoven, the Chinese player once again got the start in the knockout stage of the Champions League, which is very memorable. ”
Duan Xuan smiled: "Sun Xiang's position is left fullback. And Han Sen's position is a midfielder double forward. In terms of the team's contribution and individual performance, Han Sen may be a little more eye-catching than Sun Xiang. ”
Zhang Lu said hesitantly: "Eye-catching is for sure, Han Sen has now made 4 appearances in the Champions League, 4 assists and scored 1 goal, in terms of assists, he has ranked first in the list, in a more exaggerated way, Han Sen is currently the assist king in Europe!" ”
Duan Xuan hahadaxiao: "It's true that this statement is cooler. But can I improve this record a little more, I think Han Sen's performance today is very important. What's more important is the mentality, whether you are right or not. ”
Zhang Lu naturally knew what Duan Xuan wanted to say: "Well, in the Catalan derby, Han Sen faced the Spaniards and ate the first red card in his career, and it led to Barcelona's loss, it should be said that it is a pity to have a red card at this time, since the New Year, due to the human factor that is not produced by Barcelona Academy, Han Sen's position in the team is not stable, and he finally won a start, but was messed up by a red card, at least he had to be suspended in the next league." Therefore, the Champions League is Han Sen's best chance to show himself, coupled with the importance of the Champions League, as long as Han Sen sets his mentality and plays at his usual level, he is still Shijie's top midfielder. ”
Duan Xuan smiled: "Let's take a look at the starters of both sides first, the Lyon team is a lineup of 4141, goalkeeper No. 1 Lloris, defender No. 15 Mensa, No. 3 Chris, No. 4 Bumsson, No. 11 Grosso; No. 28 Tulalang, four midfielders, No. 23 Keita, No. 17 Macuhn, No. 8 Juninho, No. 7 Ederson; The striker is No. 10 Benzema. The team is also a good player, Juninho Jr., Shijie level free kick master, Grosso, the main left-back of the 06 Italian Shijie Cup champion, the Chinese audience should have a very deep impression of him. Tulalang is also a regular member of the French national team, and Benzema is a superstar who has emerged in the past two years, and it is said that Manchester United, Real Madrid and other giants have also taken a fancy to him. Barcelona's side is basically the lineup against Espanyol in the last round: goalkeeper No. 1 Valdés, defender No. 20 Alves, No. 4 Max, No. 3 Pique, No. 5 Puyol; Midfielder No. 6 Xavi, No. 24 Yaya? Toure, No. 13 Hansen; The strikers are Messi No. 10, No. 9 Eto'o and No. 14 Thierry Henry. ”
Since this is an intercontinental match, and it is an important occasion such as the Champions League knockout round, in the players' tunnel, the captain of the Lyon team, Juninho, took the starting players to welcome the starting players of Barcelona on the other side of the tunnel.
Han Sen is still standing behind Puyol and Valdés to enter, and he shook hands side by side, it happened to be the famous Italian left-back Grosso, 06 Shijie Cup, Han Sen is already a junior, football skills and football understanding has matured, the familiar "great Grosso" Han Sen will naturally not know, but for a while I didn't know that he was playing in Lyon, so when we met, there was still a little excitement, holding Grosso's hand for a long time, I thought I couldn't communicate with Grosso in English and Spanish, and I couldn't speak in Italian, and I couldn't communicate with French...... Then forget it, in addition to hello and nicetomeetyou said a few words, the referee greeted the game.
The Lyon team was in the players' tunnel, and it was really a move to salute first and then soldier, looking polite as the host, and when he arrived on the field, he suddenly became murderous, and Barcelona was a little caught off guard. Tulalang, the single back on the field, followed Han Sen closely at the beginning of the game, not allowing Han Sen to have too many opportunities to receive the ball and perform.
"Hmm!" Zhang Lu quickly discovered this situation, "At the beginning of the game, Han Sen seemed to be being marked by a special person, and the French international Tulalang, the single back of the Lyon team in this game, is now following Han Sen. ”
Duan Xuan said excitedly: "This also shows that a super strong team like Lyon should also be afraid of Han Sen's three points, although Han Sen has not played much time during this time, but his role in the Barcelona midfield is still very large, he can score goals and assists, and he has repeatedly performed at critical moments." ”
Guardiola was also keenly aware of this phenomenon, so he hurriedly shouted, asking Hansen to focus on pulling as much as possible, and hand over the ball control and the opportunity to play the ball to Xavi. In fact, as many people have analyzed before, although Han Sen's midfield in Barcelona has been excluded by others, but at the same time, he is also crowding out others, for example, with him on the field, Xavi occasionally has to taboo it, is it mainly based on himself or Han Sen? However, Pep Guardiola quickly made it clear on the field, which made Xavi feel a little more reassured. In the opening 3 minutes, I saw Han Sen pull Tulalang, and Xavi in the middle passed the ball cleverly with the outside of his right foot in a more calm situation, and the ball pierced the back line of the Lyon team, but Henry, who received the ball, was judged offside.
"Good shot! It's a pity that it's offside! Duan Xuan was full of praise and said, "Although it is an away game, and it is very purposeful to come up to Lyon, Barcelona still found its familiar rhythm at the beginning." ”
Zhang Lu smiled: "If Han Sen can sacrifice and restrain his play a little, it will still be of great help to the integrity of the team." ”
Before the two spoke, the Lyon team was on the left sideline, won a free kick from a small angle, Juninho Jr. stepped forward to take the penalty, Han Sen returned to the penalty area with everyone to defend, and he defended in a position, which happened to be Tulalang, who was defending him in the attack, the two were of similar height and position, and they were placed in one place, which was also regarded as a chess opponent.
However, Juninho Jr. didn't give everyone a chance to defend, only to see him concentrate and calm down, and hit a high-arc scimitar ball with his right foot, and the ball flew directly past goalkeeper Valdés into the far corner, 1-0! Lyon's first shot on goal in the first seven minutes of the game came from their captain, a generation of free-kick masters - Juninho Jr.! (To be continued......)
