Chapter 391 What I Want To See...

After the start of the game, the situation seemed to be similar to what others expected. Lyon, who had the home court advantage, launched a fierce attack from the beginning of the game. With the support of the Brazilian Edelson in the center of their midfield, the three forwards Bartos, Lopez and Gomis continued to put pressure on Hoffenheim's defense. It is difficult to get the ball.

Ten minutes after the start of the game, Lyon had three shots, two of which were missed, and one shot was saved by Hildebrand within the range of the goal frame. Hoffenheim did not have the first shot until 10 minutes later.

Puel was relieved. Although there were only three players in Lyon's midfield, all three were in the middle. Although Gustavo was trying his best to defend Edelson, he couldn't stop Edelson from splitting and passing.If the midfielder can't hold the ball, how can he counterattack!

Eduardo played against Bodmer, and Gustavo played against Edelson, but Lyon had an extra Karlstrom in the midfield. He was available on both ends of the offense and defense. In this case, Hoffenheim naturally took advantage.

Having an advantage in the midfield means increasing your own attacks and reducing the number of opponents' attacks, and Puel firmly believes this.

But can controlling the midfield really control the situation?not necessarily!
No. In the 201st minute, Li Jie stole the ball from Gomez in the backcourt, and then stabbed the ball to Salihovic in front. Karlstrom pressed him up. He was very resolute. At the same time, he also knew that Salihovic had no way to pass the ball-Eduardo in front had been marked by Bodmer.

As long as he pushes firmly and decisively enough, Hoffenheim will definitely panic. Stealing the ball in the frontcourt will be a good opportunity for Lyon!

But before he pushed forward, Salihovic raised his foot and drove the ball far ahead!
Only Long Bisheng was left in Hoffenheim's frontcourt. In Puel's view, such a long pass would not pose any threat, because even when Lyon was attacking, their defense had at least two or three defenders. Even if Long Bisheng won the first point, would he be able to deal with other defenders?Someone may be able to do this, but it's definitely not Long Bisheng with average dribbling ability...

Long Bisheng jumped high and unloaded the ball with his chest. Behind him was another Lyon central defender, Clarke. Not far away, the experienced Baumsson was preparing to fill in. On the other side, there was another Lyon defender.

Long Bisheng forcibly turned around with the ball, and Clark was still defending beside him, but Long Bisheng did not continue to move forward, but lifted his foot and distributed the ball to the right!
There Marin is plugging in quickly!
The quality of Long Bisheng's pass was good. Marin received the ball easily and began to break forward. The full-back Sissoko came to defend him from the side, but Marin did not slow down. Instead, he moved the ball forward and rushed past Sissoko!

Marin is the fastest attacking player in Hoffenheim's frontcourt. Before the start of this game, he was the only one who had no defensive task except Long Bisheng. Even Eduardo had to return to the front of the penalty area to help defend. Lannick put his hope of victory on him and Long Bisheng!
Although Marin sprints fast, Marin still believes that Long Bisheng will keep up. Long Bisheng's speed is not very fast, but he can run. After passing the ball to Marin, he started to run. When Marin sprinted to the bottom line with the ball, he had already rushed to the front of the penalty area.

Marin didn't even look at the situation in the penalty area, and then he passed it directly. It was a cross with a relatively high arc, and it was an outward arc. The goalkeeper Hugo Lloris did not dare to attack.

Although Baumsong is 32 years old, his physical fitness has not declined. With a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of 88 kilograms, he often bullies others by relying on his physical advantages. But this time, he jumped up and had no time to dodge. He was knocked sideways by Long Bisheng.
Lloris only had time to blink, and the ball hit the crossbar heavily and bounced off the baseline. At this time, there was a huge exclamation from the stands.

"Damn it!" Long Bisheng shook his hand vigorously, it was really frustrating that such a ball couldn't go in...

"Referee! Didn't he foul just now?" Baumsong jumped up from the ground, spread his hands and shouted at the referee: "He hit me just now! Damn!"

Seeing that the referee didn't respond, Baumsong murmured and gave Long Bisheng a look. However, although he was not the main man to mark Long Bisheng in this game, there would definitely not be too few opportunities for dialogue, and he still had opportunities for revenge.

"Francois, be careful with that kid, he has good strength!" Baumsson shouted to his partner in the center back, and Clark nodded with a smile, but he didn't think Long Bisheng's strength was so strong. Although the captain was knocked into the air just now, the captain took off from the spot, and he used momentum, and his confrontation was even better than the old captain...

********************************************
Although he missed a good opportunity just now, Lannick was secretly happy in his heart, not because of other reasons, but because Long Bisheng's performance just now made him see the Long Bisheng who rampaged in the opponent's penalty area last season and swept everything.

Lyon is not an easy opponent to deal with. What's more, Hoffenheim still has to win this game. Only by defeating this opponent in a direct dialogue can there be hope of qualifying for the group.In this game, he put the treasure on Long Bisheng and Marin. Judging from the performance just now, the two of them are in pretty good condition.

The episode just now did not arouse the vigilance of Lyon and Puel. They still had an absolute advantage in attacking. They suppressed the opponent with a fierce attack and couldn't even breathe. The counterattack... was just an accident. A counterattack doesn't mean anything, does it?
Lyon's offense was as crazy as ever. Kolarov was suppressed and couldn't pass halftime. Eduardo and Ibisevic were also forced to return to the front of the penalty area to help defend. The superiority in numbers made them look embarrassed, but they defended very steadily. Hoffenheim seems to be in danger.

This also made the Lyon players very dissatisfied. They felt that this should not be the case. In addition to allowing Lyon to break through the historical record in the Champions League semi-finals last season, it also made the Lyon players think that they are already considered a strong team in Europe. Facing Hoffenheim, which has lost two consecutive games, victory should be easy...

They forget that in the Champions League, no victory is easy.

When they couldn't start the situation, Lyon's offense became more and more fierce, and the two full-backs also frequently launched assists. The increase in the number of attackers made their offense look more threatening, and they were about to score several times. It seems that just a little bit of luck is enough...

This makes them forget that there is a huge gap behind them. Perhaps one of the big reasons is that Hoffenheim's two forwards are not fast. If they are not fast, they will not be able to counterattack.

They ignored Marin who had been cruising back and forth near the middle circle, and even Marin's quick counterattack just now failed to arouse their vigilance.

Edelson made a negligence when he took the ball, and Gustavo shoveled the ball down beautifully. The rolled ball was caught by Li Jie, and Li Jie immediately made a big-footed clearance...

It seemed that there was no threat to clear the siege, but after Long Bisheng was near the middle circle, it began to become a threat.

Clark once again lost to Long Bisheng in the battle for the top. Long Bisheng stopped him behind him, and then jumped up high. Clark, who was stuck in his position by Long Bisheng, could only watch helplessly as Long Bisheng swung the ball to the right and had no choice.

After Marin took the ball, he ran wildly on the side again. At this time, Hisoka behaved scientifically. He didn't try to break the ball at the first time, but ran with Marin to cut off his cross-cutting route.

The two have been entangled until they are parallel to the penalty area line. At this time, Marin suddenly buckled the ball back, and then dribbled the ball forward. Sissoko was ready to tackle the ball at the first time, but Marin had already passed the ball horizontally.

The ball rolled to the front of the penalty area, and Long Bisheng was still the only follower—but his catching up made the Lyon fans feel great fear—he rumbled towards the frontcourt like a bulldozer, and continued to move forward without fear under the attack of two strong men with a height of about 1.9 meters.

In the beginning, Baumsong and Clark flanked him in front, but when they reached the 30-meter area, two people escorted him, one on the left and one on the right. When they reached the front of the penalty area, Long Bisheng had already squeezed the two of them behind him...

"That's right, this is the dragon that I want to see win!" Lannick clenched his fists and thought excitedly.
