The resumes of coaches of wealthy clubs all seem to be rigged.

The same goes for Lyon coach Claude Pierre.

He was a famous star of Monaco Club during his playing days and played for Monaco throughout his career. Later, after hanging up his boots to retire, he began to serve as the coach of Monaco's reserve team. Three years later, he officially became the coach of Monaco and led many stars such as Giuly and Gallardo. Won the Ligue 1 championship in 2000.

After the contract expired in 2002, Pierre failed to get a contract extension and left the Monaco club where he had worked for 24 years with frustration, and then became the coach of the French Lille club.

In French football, Lille can be considered a strong team, but it is still far away from competing for the championship. However, Pierre led this Lille team to win consecutive runner-up and third place, and scored in 2007. The quarter-finals of the European Champions League created the best result in the history of Lille Club in the European competition.

Pierre was named France's best coach of the year by French Football in 2005, and was named the official best coach of the Ligue 1 by canal+ and unf in 2006.

In July 2008, Pierre officially became the head coach of Lyon Football Club.

Any head coach who coached the French club Lyon in 2008 would have been under great pressure, because in the past seven years, Lyon had won the French Ligue 1 championship. The alternative 'seven crowns' represented Lyon's success in Ligue 1. The dominance of the league, if the new coach cannot continue his glory, he may be considered unqualified by the club and fans.

Pierre failed to deliver a satisfactory answer. Last season he led Lyon to only third place in the league, nine points less than first-place Boll.

After his first coaching season that was considered a failure, Pierre also knew that he had to produce results to gain recognition. The Champions League became the place to display his talents. He led Lyon to qualify first in the group stage and enter the 16th round. A strong match against Real Madrid is the heavyweight test after the group stage.

"Lyon must knock out Real Madrid!"

Real Madrid is the biggest focus in Europe. Their lineup is too gorgeous. When they meet Lyon, not many people are optimistic about Lyon.

The French media's reports are biased towards Lyon, but that's just because they are French media. From an inner perspective, they are definitely optimistic about Real Madrid.

"If I can successfully eliminate Real Madrid and get close to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, my coaching will be more recognized by the fans, because what Lyon needs most is not the league title, but the European war results!"

Pierre knew this.

When facing Real Madrid, he and the coaching staff devoted 100% of their energy and even neglected several league games for this purpose.

The game is about to begin.

Everything was ready, and Pierre was a little impatient for the game. He was full of confidence, but he didn't expect something to happen that he couldn't understand.

"Zhen Shaolong, why do you want to say thank you to me?" Pierre met Zhen Shaolong and was thinking about this issue until he returned to the locker room. He really couldn't think of the reason, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

finally.

Pierre suppressed the doubts in his heart and explained the game to the team as usual.

"You must be serious!"

"Shrink and release the line, we will fight back!"

"You must counterattack quickly. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately. Defense is more important!"

"Pay attention to Real Madrid's stars, Zhen Shaolong, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kaká. I believe you all know how dangerous they are!"

"..."

————

The time before the game passed quickly.

The starting players of the home team Lyon and Real Madrid lined up and ran into the stadium. They stood face to face and looked at each other. Compared to the excited eyes of the Lyon players, the Real Madrid players seemed very indifferent because they were more famous. As for the Lyon players on the opposite side, some of them can’t even be named.

This is the gap between the two sides.

But the gap in the lineup is not entirely a good thing for the dominant side. Everyone in Real Madrid’s lineup knows that if they cannot pass Lyon, they will definitely become the laughing stock of European football and even world football. Various large media reports on the Champions League On the page, there will be a topic 'Galaxy Phase II battleship sunk by 'civilian' Lyon'.

Lyon has no worries in this regard. They hope to win the game, but even if they lose to Real Madrid, the outside world takes it for granted, and they themselves take it for granted.

Take a look at Real Madrid’s lineup!

One Zhen Shaolong is worth more than 250 million euros!

Everyone in the Lyon first team, including the reserve team and youth team, is not worth 200 million euros combined.

Real Madrid also has superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, Ramos, Casillas, etc. Together, they can beat one or two Lyons. With such a huge gap, they lost to Real Madrid. Isn't it natural?

This gap in the lineup gives Lyon players a better mentality when they play. They just want to do their best and strive to play a good game.

Lyon's overall tactical execution ability is very strong. They have won the French Ligue 1 championship for seven consecutive years, which has already made them a mature team. Even if the current lineup is aging, their experience and cooperation are issues. On the field, they are a overall.

Pierre asked the team to shrink and release the line, and Lyon attached great importance to defense. The game had just begun, and they kept retreating. Their formation was stacked at the front of the penalty area. Their airtight defense would give any opponent a headache.

Real Madrid too.

Real Madrid's tactical formation is 442, and the midfield and frontcourt need space to play. In the first two waves of offensive, Real Madrid only hit the penalty area line, and the third wave was simply intercepted on the wing.

Lyon took the opportunity to launch a sharp counterattack, and almost created an opportunity with a cross from the wing. Fortunately, Ramos' solid defense forced the opponent's forward Lopez, and could only barely shoot a shot without posing any threat to the goal.

The game lasted ten minutes, and the overall situation and data were revealed.

Real Madrid has no good way to deal with Lyon's intensive defense for the time being, because the opponent's defense is very deep, but they still have the advantage of controlling the ball. 60% of the ball is controlled. It cannot be said that they absolutely suppress the opponent, but it can be regarded as passable data.

But it was Lyon who threatened the goal advantage.

Lyon completed two shots, one of which hit the goal frame. Real Madrid only had one shot, a shot from the outside by Ronaldo, and the football flew directly high and out of the baseline.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides could also see some problems.

Pierre had confidence on his face and his expression became relaxed. The game so far was pretty much what he expected.

Real Madrid can have the advantage of possessing the ball, but they can't do anything about Lyon's defense. The intensive defense restricted the performance of the opponent's stars. Zhen Shaolong, Ronaldo, and Kaká did not perform well.

Ronaldo and Kaka were better, they at least had some passes, and Ronaldo had a reluctant shot.

Zhen Shaolong...

Pierre only saw Zhen Shaolong pass the ball and take a very far away set kick. It can be said that there was no performance.

"No matter which star player has strong skills and strength, if he responds with intensive defense and does not give him room to display, the opponent will have nothing to do."

"Just fight like this!"

“As long as we can persevere, the outcome will depend on whether we can score the goal!”

the other side.

Pellegrini frowned tightly. He also saw the problem. He knew that the opponent was shrinking the line to limit the performance of the Real Madrid star, but he could not think of any way to deal with it.

The other party is an aboveboard shrinking and releasing line!

Real Madrid's problem is obvious. Anyone who has studied Real Madrid knows that the frequent changes of lineups and head coaches mean that Real Madrid cannot be said to be mature at all. They are just a team of scattered stars.

Pellegrini worked hard to lead the team and let the players adapt to tactics and cooperate, but half a season is still too short.

Any mature team must take several seasons to get well adjusted. If Real Madrid wants to truly complete its reconstruction, it will take two or three seasons to slowly allow the players in the team to adapt.

It's like Manchester City actually.

Manchester City's lineup is no worse than that of the giants, but they can still only compete for the top four. There is almost no hope of competing for the championship. The lineup of the team that has been put together looks gorgeous, but if they want to fully display their strength, they still need to Very long break-in time.

Real Madrid is not much better and has just undergone reconstruction. The only thing is that it has a more gorgeous lineup than Manchester City and the stars it can perform are better.

That's Real Madrid's problem.

Real Madrid is not a unit on the playing field, and the goals scored in the game mostly rely on the performance of the stars, rather than detailed tactics and routine coordination. Most of the goals have nothing to do with coordination and are entirely a reflection of the players' personal abilities.

Now Lyon is constricting the line at home, restricting the performance of Real Madrid stars, and can't think of a way to deal with it.

certainly.

There are ways.

Since Lyon uses intensive defense to limit the performance of Real Madrid's stars, it is enough for Real Madrid's stars to perform better. If their restrictions fail, Real Madrid can win the game. It is as simple as that.

Pellegrini smiled bitterly and hoped that the team would play more steadily.

Then.

He looked at Zhen Shaolong.

If there are stars on the court who can break through Lyon's defense, he can only place his hopes on Zhen Shaolong, Ronaldo and Kaka. Ronaldo and Kaká are relatively worse, but Zhen Shaolong is not easy to defend, even if he arrives There is no performance yet. As long as there is a chance, he may be able to help the team score goals.

On the field.

Zhen Shaolong acted very casually. He was not like a Real Madrid teammate who kept running hard to find opportunities. His expression was not anxious at all, and he even looked a little lazy.

Bumson has been standing next to Zhen Shaolong for a long time.

Bumson took over the task of defending Zhen Shaolong. He did not need to stay with Zhen Shaolong for a long time, but when defending, he was more inclined to restrict Zhen Shaolong.

At the beginning of the game, Boumsonai was nervous. Even though he was 31 years old, Lyon's main center back and the French national team's international, he would feel huge defending the 'world's number one striker'. He was even aware of the pressure. The camera lenses kept pointing at him. Standing next to Zhen Shaolong, he would definitely get a lot of shots. Every small detail of his movements might be captured. Maybe it would become the subject of discussion among fans?

Huge attention is good news, but it can also bring huge pressure.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Bumson didn't feel much pressure anymore because he found that Zhen Shaolong was not in very good condition and was not running aggressively at all. He seemed to be just messing around on the court and was not in a hurry if he didn't catch the ball for a long time. .

"Is this guy out of shape?"

"He must be out of shape. He is not active at all. He shows laziness all over his body. He didn't take the initiative to grab a position just now..."

Bumson thought, "That's great. I have taken on the job of defending Zhen Shaolong. No matter what the opponent's state is, as long as he is not allowed to perform, my defense will be considered successful."

“When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of coverage about me.”

"So, in order to defend against such a talented striker, we still need an experienced veteran like me to take action..."

Bumson suddenly felt confident.

Compared with a very small number of talented stars, the vast majority of players in world football have very ordinary careers. Without particularly outstanding technical abilities, they can only rely on experience to maintain their careers.

Boumsong is such a player. He can serve as Lyon's main defender and enter the French national team because of his stable technical strength. More importantly, he has rich defensive experience and will perform very steadily on the court.

Of course.

It is difficult for players of this level to be favored by wealthy clubs, and it is difficult for fans to remember the names of players without outstanding characteristics.

Therefore, all Boumsong can offer is rich experience. He has played for Le Havre, Auxerre, Newcastle United, and also played as the main player for Juventus for one year, but Juventus was forced to resign that season. level, he played in the Italian Serie B. In the second year, because his strength could not keep up, he stayed on the bench for a whole year and had no choice but to leave and join Lyon.

The only thing that Bumson is proud of is experience, and he naturally thinks that experience is the most important. All geniuses are just blown away. Without rich experience, genius has no meaning.

see it?

Just like Zhen Shaolong in front of him, he is recognized as a super genius, but in the end, he is restricted by himself?

Suddenly.

Bumson's expression was filled with arrogance.

Zhen Shaolong was puzzled by the Lyon defender next to him. He didn't know what was going on, and his expression suddenly became strange?

Is that arrogance?

Why be arrogant?

Bumson seemed to notice Zhen Shaolong's confusion, then he held his head high and said confidently, "Don't even think about showing off today, I will keep pestering you."

"I wish the person who said this was a woman, a beautiful woman. But you are not."

Zhen Shaolong rolled his eyes and realized that Lyon's counterattack ended with a kick, so he ran forward and continued, "So I'm going to score. Let me remind you first, you must pay attention!"

Bumson gritted his teeth immediately. He completely understood. The opponent looked down on him at all, and actually said he wanted to score a goal?

Is there anything more arrogant than this?

"Watch me guard you to death!" Bumson followed Zhen Shaolong very seriously, and kept using his body to pester him.

What a struggle!

It was difficult for Zhen Shaolong to run. The continuous body collisions with the opponent made the muscles in his arms a little painful. I have to say that black players are really strong.

Then.

Zhen Shaolong seemed to have given up and simply stopped running. He stood on the outside of the penalty area and watched Ronaldo rush over with the ball, and then took a lazy step.

"Pass it here!"

Zhen Shaolong shouted towards Ronaldo, who immediately kicked the ball over.

Bumson was defending alone, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not restrict the ball, especially the ball on the wing. He could only squeeze in behind Zhen Shaolong to prevent the opponent from accelerating.

Zhen Shaolong had no intention of rushing. He just stayed in his position and waited at the penalty area line on the right side. When the football rolled over, he stretched out to meet the ball.

When the football rolled along his toes and onto his feet, he immediately made a pass back.

It's like a simple shot, like a backward hook pass, no one would associate the action with the shot.

but……

The next moment, everyone was surprised to find that the football flew high, jumped over Bumson's head, rushed to the highest point and fell back down. The route was actually towards the goal?

"Danger!"

"Notice!"

"Loris!"

Several Lyon players shouted to remind goalkeeper Lloris.

Lloris didn't expect the football to rush over suddenly. He was standing on the right just now, and when he saw the football falling towards the far corner, he hurriedly ran back a few steps.

He still underestimated the speed of the ball.

When Lloris retreated to the middle of the goal, the football had already rushed over. He raised his hands to intercept, but the football rushed over his fingers.

When he turned his head again, he found that the ball had fallen into the goal.

"Hula..."

As the football crashed into the goal, the surrounding stands suddenly burst into noise.
