My name is Colani

Chapter 746 39 tie

Hugo had nothing to say. Trapani still had no advantage in set-piece tactics. Boateng and Barzagli were taller on this team. As for Suarez, he was brave, but he was not the kind of center forward who could stand at the post. Lyon's average height was not low, which led to some advantages for them in this regard. Poole undoubtedly saw this point and let his players commit bold fouls.

With less and less time, Trapani's players' physical fitness began to decline and they were forced to slow down the pace. Lyon could not bear it. For them, this game consumed more physical energy. According to OPTA's statistics, Lyon ran almost 4 kilometers more, so it was natural for the pace to slow down.

At this time, Bielsa began to make substitutions. He replaced Suarez with Luca Toni. This season, Luca Toni's status in the team has undoubtedly declined. Suarez is Bielsa's favorite. Toni did not complain. He tried his best to play his remaining heat when he played. However, he must have been dissatisfied with the long bench. During this period, he himself had the idea of ​​leaving Trapani because he felt that he could still play the main role.

Sitting on the sidelines, seeing that the attack was not going well, Toni was anxious in his eyes. He knew that Messi was injured. Messi's performance in the second half was not very outstanding. It was a bit unreliable to rely on Messi. As for the other two superstars, Henry had the kind of performance of single-handedly breaking through the barriers and turning the tide when he was young, but Kaka was not that type. Let him pass through the dense defense to create opportunities, which was not his strong point.

Now the time has come to almost 80 minutes. Both sides are a little tired and the rhythm has slowed down. Bielsa sent him. There is no doubt that you need to strengthen the signal of crossing. Toni has a clear understanding of this.

There was not much time left for Trapani, and Lyon was very nervous. Aulas' face was not happy, but melancholy and anxious. He could feel that the Lyon players had exerted too much force in the front. At this time, there was no energy to limit Trapani, and he could only shrink to defend outside his own penalty area.

Hugo saw Toni on the court, Trapani had already taken the advantage in ball control, and he couldn't help but rekindled some hope. In his opinion, the team's response strategy today had some problems. If it was Ranieri, this game would not be lost, because Ranieri would focus on defense, and the game would be very dull, but Trapani should be able to defend. On the contrary, Lyon's forward formation today could even give Trapani a lot of opportunities.

But Bielsa was the coach. He would choose some control, but he would never lower his posture. He was just serving for offense. It was a pity that his luck was a bit bad. The second half was a bit messy, but at least Trapani failed to seize the opportunity that should be seized in the first half.

The chatter in the stands stopped. The top executives of both teams were paying attention to the situation on the field. For Lyon, the situation on the field was very delicate. If they could maintain the current score, they would have a certain advantage after the game, which was a small victory. On the contrary, if Trapani scored, Lyon's score advantage for almost the entire game would vanish, and from the perspective of the two-round match system, Trapani took the lead by relying on a draw away goal.

As Tony headed the ball over the crossbar, the two famous bosses cried "ah" and "ah" at the same time.

"Haha, you are very nervous, Mr. Aulas!" Hugo looked back suddenly and saw Aulas's expression of lingering fear.

"Haha! Of course I will be nervous! If I can win this game, I can brag for many years!" Aulas is a "sincere man", "Aren't you also very nervous?!"

"I have ignited hope now, you are exhausted, I think we will equalize the score!" Hugo said with a smile, pretending to be indifferent in front of Aulas.

"Damn Poole, this bastard! Why hasn't he made any substitutions yet!" Aulas couldn't help cursing his head coach in his heart because he was also the boss and he also appreciated the game. He felt that his team should add a central defender to strengthen the defense against Tony because Tony's performance was outstanding after he came on the court. He played a very important role on the court. In just two or three minutes, he had completed two shots, all of which were headers without exception, and they were also threatening.

Chris and Boumsong's physical fitness had dropped sharply at this time, and they were somewhat unable to keep up with Tony, the new force.

But Poole obviously had a big problem with his on-the-spot command, at least in this game, his problem was very serious at this time. Up to now, he had not made any substitutions for even one person. Trapani brought him too much pressure. He felt that the players on the field of Lyon performed well and were in good condition. A rash substitution might make Lyon lose this momentum. As a result, he did not make any changes even though he saw the defects of the central defender.

Such on-the-spot command comes at a price. Bielsa put Toni on the field and asked Henry to move to the middle, leaving the left side entirely to Evra to strengthen the attack. This was intended to make full use of Toni's high point role. However, Poole did not react very well and only wanted to defend the cross from the wing.

The story is sad. Trapani's cross from the wing is very difficult to defend. In the 89th minute, Messi, who had been average throughout the game, suddenly broke out. He ignored his ankle injury on the wing and unexpectedly took on Sissoko. Messi, who had been silent for most of the game, made Sissoko a little proud. He was the main player defending Messi today, but he was defeated at this moment. Messi took the ball directly, suddenly went to the bottom of the outside line, cut inside, and then crossed the ball. The power was not great, but Messi's landing point was very accurate.

Facing the opponent's dense defense in the penalty area, Messi's ball was high and slow, specifically looking for Toni.

Toni jumped high and used the left part of his forehead to head in the opposite direction. Obviously, the pass was not fast, and Toni's header was not fast, but Lloris turned around slowly, and Toni's header hit the goal of Lyon.

What were Chris and Boumsong doing at this time? Boumsong tried to intercept Messi in front of the goal, but he lost his position.

Another central defender, Chris, was easily crushed by Toni, because Messi's pass was aimed at Toni. Goalkeepers Lloris and Boumsong both paid attention to Messi. Only Chris was left here. Chris jumped obviously slowly, and this guy didn't even have a decent interference. How could Toni not show his power?

"Yeah!" Hugo raised his hand happily and clapped his hands vigorously with the Trapani executives sitting next to him. His joy was beyond words. It was a lore!

A real lore. Who would have thought that Bielsa's last move would kill Lyon. The situation was reversed. Trapani took the advantage with an away goal, and Lyon was passive.

Poole's face was as cold as frost. Who would have thought? ! In the second half, he clearly felt that Messi did not do anything at all. He thought it was a fatigue problem because Messi had played in several games in a row. He did not expect that Messi would eventually hurt him. Of course, he did not know that Messi was not only injured but also tired.

"Damn Poole, I knew this idiot would do bad things! He should have made a substitution a long time ago. He made us lose a victory! This is really..." Aulas was very angry, spitting and belittling Poole.

But he did not say a few words. After everyone's celebration was over, Aulas said to Hugo dejectedly: "Congratulations, you won! The game is about to end, and our victory was ruined by a stupid pig!"

All crows are black. It seems that there are many weird chairmen in major leagues. Hugo said: "Mr. Aulas, you don't have to be so depressed. We still have the next round! You have caused us a lot of trouble today! I think the next round will be very exciting!"
