Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 645 As long as you win
After the start of the second half, Lyon continued to strengthen their offense, and unlike the first half, their defenders began to participate in the offense frequently, so that their offense had a sense of three-dimensionality and layering, and the passing began to be more More use of direct passes to directly let the striker pose a threat to Newcastle's goal.

Mourinho is not afraid. He believes that with Newcastle's current defensive ability, it is absolutely possible to resist the opponent's offensive. As long as it lasts for 10 minutes, the reality that there is not much time left will definitely make Lyon's players feel impatient. , At that time, the loopholes in their backcourt will become bigger and bigger, and Newcastle's opportunities will also appear.

But 5 minutes later, an attack from Lyon made him jump out of his seat!

A long pass after Lyon steals the ball from the backcourt, Juninho's pass accurately landed near the right sideline of Newcastle, Kufuor intends to push the ball out, but the arc of the ball's flight is beyond his expectation Outside - he didn't hit the ball!
Malouda rushed past him like a wind, and after unloading the ball beautifully, he immediately swiped the ball and wiped it into the penalty area!

Woodgate jumped at him immediately, but Malouda slammed the ball back and past him again!

Lucio had no choice but to leave Elber behind and rushed towards him. Malouda was already close to the small penalty area, and Shay might not be able to respond to a shot in such a place!
Seeing Lucio rushing towards him, Malouda flicked his left foot and passed the ball!
The ball flew to Elber, who was unguarded. The Brazilian striker had already put on a shooting posture. In front of him was a half-empty goal. No one would believe that he would not score such a goal!

Just when most Newcastle fans covered their faces, a figure suddenly rushed over from behind Elber, and with a flying shovel, shoveled the flying ball from it!
Makelele!The French midfielder appeared where he should have appeared, stretched his foot and broke the ball!

However, Newcastle's crisis is still not resolved. There was still a distance when Makelele tackled the ball just now. All he could do was touch the ball. Although the ball that changed direction could not be kicked by Elber, it was The slash flew to the point behind the goal!
With a soft sound of "crotch", the ball hit the outside of the far post and bounced into the penalty area. Bernard and Ge Wu rushed to the ball's landing point at the same time. The ball, then he will be able to easily hit the ball into the empty goal!
The two kept colliding with each other while running, and finally Bernard had the upper hand. He kicked the ball out of the baseline in front of Govou, and Newcastle's crisis was finally lifted!

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief. If he loses the ball at this time, then Lyon will be able to entangle with Newcastle patiently. It is not yet known who will win the game.

Le Guin bowed his head in remorse. If the goal can be scored, then Newcastle will definitely not be able to defend like the first half, and then Lyon will have more opportunities!
The fans of both sides in the stands were obviously in the same mood as their coach. The Lyon fans cursed loudly, while the Newcastle fans gave out huge cheers after rejoicing!
However, after missing this good opportunity, Lyon's players seemed to be more confident-at least they saw the hope of tearing apart the opponent's defense. How many times can they do it?

This is not something you can do if you want to.

Through this attack, the Lyon players noticed the flaws in the opponent's two flanks. After all, Lyon's flank offense is also quite good. No matter how solid the defense of Newcastle's two full-backs is, they will always make mistakes, right?Humans are not machines after all.

Mourinho also saw this. He stood up and signaled Nie Fei and Stewart to join the defense to ease the pressure on the two wingers. The rest is the old rules, let them cross Pass, as long as you don't cut inside, who wants you to have no center forward in Lyon.

Newcastle's players started to defend again. Although they looked in a mess now, Lyon's two flanks were extremely active, and Ibrahimovic and Viduka also came back to help defend, but they still stopped the opponent's offense. Outside the penalty area, Juninho tried to create opportunities through his dribbling breakthrough several times, but was blocked by Makelele's beautiful defense.

The cross is not good, the breakthrough is not good, and the only trick that seems to be useful is long-range shots.

"Gewu scored the ball in the middle, Essien inserted in the backcourt, and shot from a long distance!"

The ball flew into the penalty area quickly, and then hit Woodgate hard on the back. Lucio kicked the ball out of the sideline in front of Elber with a big kick.

It seems that long-range shooting is not good...

Seeing this scene, the high fighting spirit of the Lyon players was a little bit depressed. Facing such an excellent defense and such a tenacious opponent, what should they do?

Le Guin was also thinking hard about this question. Even a tiger would feel helpless when faced with a hedgehog curled up all over its body.

Lyon is not yet a tiger, and Newcastle is not just a hedgehog who can only defend but not attack.

While Le Guen was still thinking, Newcastle finally seized a loophole in Lyon's backcourt!
Govou lobbed the ball into the penalty area, Lucio made a header to clear the siege, Makelele grabbed the ball in front of Juninho and drove the ball to the frontcourt, Viduka near the middle circle jumped high and gave the ball to the top A little forward Ibrahimovic!

Under Edmilson's close defense, Ibrahimovic jumped up and pushed the ball forward, then quickly stretched his foot to control the ball when he landed, and then moved forward quickly with the ball!
Edmilson clung to Ibrahimovic's side tightly, but Ibrahimovic ignored his defense and continued to move forward. The two entangled and came to the front of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic suddenly lifted his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!

Nie Fei, who had been in a sprint match with Essien since the counterattack, finally got rid of his opponent, rushed into the penalty area quickly, took a step towards the attacking Coupe, and then kicked the ball over Kupe's body!

Essien, who had been chasing closely behind Nie Fei, gave up Nie Fei and rushed to the goal, but he was still a step too slow. The ball flew past his feet and fell into the goal under the desperate eyes of all Lyon fans!

"Oh——" Huge cheers sounded from the Gerland stands and the square next to the stadium. Newcastle fans threw everything they could find into the sky. They all understood what this goal meant to Newcastle—— In the remaining [-] minutes or so, as long as they don't concede three goals, they will be able to steadily enter the quarterfinals of the European Champions Cup. From the beginning of the game to the present, Lyon's offensive ability seems to be invisible to them. able to do this.

The Lyon fans looked at these British people celebrating wildly on their own ground with hatred, but what can they do?My team was behind, and I hadn't been able to suppress these English fans who were much smaller in number during the game. They lost all the contests from the team to the fans. What else could they say.

"We can basically congratulate Newcastle in advance." The ESPN commentator sighed and said: "Although there are still about twenty minutes before the start of the game, scoring three goals is too much for Lyon. Ao adopted the most realistic and conservative tactics, but he also got what he wanted. Of course, he was also lucky. If Elber's shot didn't miss, I'm afraid it will be another scene now. "

Although the commentator said so, the Lyon players did not give up because of this. Although they themselves knew that it was probably impossible to advance, this did not mean that they had to give up the game willingly.

Facing the almost tragic attack of the Lyon players, Mourinho did not intend to fight head-on with his opponent. In fact, after Nie Fei scored the key goal, he was already thinking about the next game. When density is important, instead of pursuing the so-called beautiful scenes, it is better to let the players save a little more energy.

Mourinho started to kill time by making substitutions. He hasn't changed a single player so far in the game. Three substitutions are enough for him to consume enough time.

He first replaced Viduka with Dawson. After gaining the lead, Viduka spent most of the time defending in his own half. It is obviously not as effective to let a striker participate in the defense as to replace a real defender.

Five minutes later, he replaced Ibrahimovic with Bellamy, and then replaced Stewart with Speed. Newcastle's formation became 5. Three of the four midfielders were defensive midfielders, except for Nie Fei. Except for Bellamy and Bellamy to contain the opponent's defender in the frontcourt, all other players returned to the front of their penalty area to help defend. Lyon's offense can be described as difficult.

No.805 minutes, Malouda's breakthrough created a free kick, Juninho can finally display his magical free kick, he hit the ball into the dead corner of the goal 28 meters away, Shay It's too late, but this goal came a little too late.

When the game went into stoppage time, all the Newcastle substitutes stood up, waiting for the moment when the final whistle sounded, the moment when they could celebrate wildly.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Newcastle drew [-]-[-] with Lyon in the away game, advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of [-]-[-]!
Cheers filled the entire Gerland Stadium, Mourinho shook his fist fiercely, then turned around and hugged Pei Wei tightly!
victory!All we want is victory!
