Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 116 The class bully shows his power!

The cheering atmosphere at the Lyon Olympic Park stadium is quite crazy, and it is not known whether the source of this madness comes from the support for the team, or from the panic of losing the championship!
After all, Lyon was the overlord who sat on the throne for seven years!
When the referee blew his whistle, the Ligue [-] championship battle between Lyon and Monaco officially kicked off!

Puel's expression remained dignified, he knew the seriousness of the situation.

When the match in the first half of the schedule, Monaco was still far behind Lyon, but unexpectedly after half a season, the gap between the two teams has undergone a subversive reversal!

Lyon fell behind by 9 points to Monaco. If it weren't for this 6-point battle between the two teams, there is still a turning point. Otherwise, basically Lyon can only hope for a miracle to reverse Monaco and complete the reversal!

Lyon needs to create a miracle, so it still needs to build on the fact that they can beat Monaco today and bring Monaco a heavy blow, and then pin their hopes on other teams, such as Bordeaux, Reina, and Paris Saint-Germain who have not yet faced Monaco in the second half of the season , Auxerre on these upstream and championship teams.

Strictly speaking, Monaco's end-of-season sprint schedule is not easy.

But the biggest enemy must be Lyon. It is hard to say that Lyon is still the strongest team in Ligue [-], but at least on a psychological level, Lyon, as the leader of the Ligue [-] class, has a seven-year monopoly on the championship. The psychological shadow is unimaginable!

So defeating Lyon will not only be a physical victory, but also a psychological and spiritual victory!
Similarly, if Lyon wants to defend the throne, then this game must be won, and a draw will be meaningless to Lyon!
Because of this, Lyon's offensive organization was very active after the opening.

Junior Juninho has been injured for half a season and finally returned to the green field. With him on the field, Lyon will never need to worry about combing the offense, and with Karlstrom behind him to help connect the front and rear courts, Lyon It can be said that it has the best midfield configuration in Ligue [-], which is not only reasonable, but also excellent!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Juninho dexterously pulled the ball horizontally to get rid of Matic's ferocious press after receiving a pass from Karlstrom in the middle of the frontcourt. Although he was 34 years old, Juninho Of course, Ninho's skills are still excellent. For skilled players, the negative impact of aging after the age of 30 is more physical than technical. On the contrary, the more skilled players are , the older you get, the better your skills will be.

Because as their physical ability declines, they will be smarter to use technology to make up for this shortcoming.

After passing Matic, Juninho quickly sent a through ball.

The scalpel-like pass directly tore through Monaco's back line. The football rolled between Muratori and Nkuru. Benzema took the initiative to run to meet it. Run to block Benzema's shot or pass, but Benzema controls the ball and turns around after stopping the ball, facing outside the penalty area and knocking the ball back to the right of the penalty area.

Edson cuts in quickly to meet the ball and shoot!
He originally wanted to pass the ball into the penalty area, but when he saw Perez coming to intercept fiercely, he suddenly changed his mind.

A soaring cannon suddenly appeared in front of all the audience.

The Lyon fans immediately showed disappointment.

Benzema did a good job with the ball, but Ederson kicked it away!

However, Lyon's offensive fluency after the opening was impressive.

Just because Situ Yunbing considered that Juninho Jr. of Lyon has come back recently, it will inevitably increase the threat of Lyon's offensive organization, so in order to increase the speed of defense, he cannot go to Mongol, who has an advantage in air defense but is slow. Gu, and instead asked Nkuru to retreat and play as a defender to increase his mobility.

In the 5th minute of the game, Monaco launched an attack from the backcourt. Muratori unswervingly assisted from the left. Matic sent the ball to the left from the backcourt. Monaco's backcourt possession is still relatively safe. Juni Neo is old, and the defensive harassment he can bring is very limited.

Muratori encountered Edson's press on the left side of the midfield. He quickly passed the ball straight ahead, and continued to run forward after the ball was released.

Morrow took the initiative to withdraw and respond under the close marking of Revieille. When he was leading the ball, he kicked the ball horizontally.

At this time, Levier turned around and chased after him, but he was no longer able to catch up with Muratori who had killed him by the wind and lightning.

Muratori came to the outside of the penalty area to control the ball and adjust a step, and then kicked a pass.

Nimani was about to grab a header in the middle of the penalty area, but he was squeezed away by Chris, who jumped high and pushed the ball out.

The kicked football was controlled by Makun, and Merian immediately stepped forward to fight back, but Makun took the first step and knocked the ball across to Karlstrom, who found that Nimani was also attacking him from the penalty area. Rushing forward, Perez blocked his pass to Juninho in front, and Karlstrom calmly knocked the ball across the left.

Italian veteran Grosso faced Falcao's counterattack after stopping the ball from the wing. He didn't dare to try to break through, so he swung the ball to the left and quickly passed the ball straight ahead.

Today, Ivory Coast winger Keita, who played as a left winger, stopped the ball on the center line and turned around to push forward, but found that Monaco's full-back Simic was in front of him. He immediately smashed the ball to the inside and then accelerated to go inside.

But Perez got into his lane and Keita decisively crossed the ball to Juninho.

Matic defended Juninho head-on, and was just about to go up. Unexpectedly, Juninho casually picked the ball forward with his outer instep.

Benzema stopped the ball on the chest in the middle of the penalty area. When the football hit the ground, he smashed the ball with his right foot and turned around. Turning in the opposite direction made Nkuru miss the grab.

This is a technical move close to the Inside-StepOver, which Ronaldo used to like to use in the Premier League. The difference is that the complete version of this move should be to smash the ball with the right foot and then use the right foot to fake the ball and turn around directly. But when the foot came to the other side of the football, the body stopped suddenly and reversed and used the foot to pull the ball to complete the turn from the opposite direction.

Benzema's action is simplified, and it is not confusing to pull the ball directly and turn around, but the effect is very good!

After he turned around from the other side, Benatia came to his front. At this time, Benzema rushed into the penalty area aggressively. Knocking the ball to the right side of the body, he finished a cold shot with his right foot in the gap between Benatia and Nkuru!
Benzema is really the most outstanding center among the new generation of French players, not one of them!

Not only is his physical fitness good, but his technique is also excellent. As long as he is given the opportunity and space, he can indeed create a threat that makes the opponent's scalp tingle!

The football he shot went straight to the far corner of the goal. Because of the hasty force, the strength was not enough, but the angle was tricky.

When the football bounced in the small penalty area and then flew to the far corner, Rufael tried his best to run towards the right goal post and kicked the ground to save it. At the moment when the football was about to fly into the goal, Rufael's left hand reached the limit. The ground blocked the ball and changed the trajectory of the football!
Under the eyes of everyone, the football deviated from the right post of the goal by only about 10 centimeters and flew out of the bottom line!
call!
Countless Lyon fans hugged their heads and sighed with great regret, and then they applauded Benzema again!
"Benzema's shot almost gave Lyon the lead!

This ball should not only praise Juninho's passing method just right, but also praise Benzema's personal ability. He can get rid of the defensive press of a Monaco defender in front of the penalty area, and adjust the shooting opportunity by shaking the angle. , and played very threateningly. Unfortunately, Rufael's save was also very good, and he failed to let Benzema succeed!
Judging from the opening of today's game, the defending champion Lyon played their momentum with their home advantage, and Monaco has not yet been able to create a threat. "

Standing on the sidelines and supervising the battle, Situ Yunbing didn't change his face. The defending champion Lyon is indeed very strong, at least he showed much stronger strength than in the first half of the schedule!

This is also very good, at least it will let the generals of Monaco understand that winning the championship will not be easy!
