Lord of Greenery

Chapter 118
Since it is a game, the battle function is naturally indispensable.

Li Ze determined the abilities of his teammates based on his impression of them, and then called out Lyon for a match.

5: 0!

With Li Ze in Cannes, he lost so much that he lost his underwear.

In the second game, Li Ze chose to do it himself, and fought again.

6: 0!

Instead, he lost one more.

"This game is really difficult..."

It's definitely not because he's too good at it!
Li Ze felt his scalp go numb.

Not just for the game, but for the current situation.

The strength gap between Cannes and Lyon is too huge, and his personal ability cannot make up for it.

In Lyon, there are many players who have reached the star level.

Squillage, Grosso, Kjellstrom, Tularang, Govou, Ben Arfa...

The most troublesome thing is Benzema and Juninho Jr., both of them are well-deserved superstars at their peak!
Fortunately, Benzema said that he is still relatively young now and has not touched the boundaries of superstars.

But Junior Juninho is a well-deserved superstar.

He is the core of Lyon's midfielder, and he is also a historical free kick master.

With him around, Cannes' defense has to be cautious even for fouls.

In the game, Juninho directly scored a free kick and assisted a free kick in the two games he played.

As for the opportunities created by free kicks, there are countless.

With Cannes' defensive ability, the best way to stop Lyon may be to have a referee father, of course Cannes does not have it.

Not only Juninho Jr., but also Ben Arfa and Govo's bottom pass to Benzema are also quite difficult to defend.

Ben Alpha has excellent technique at his feet, while Govou is fast.

The finishing touches of the two are not very good, but in terms of creating opportunities, both of them are quite good.

As for Benzema, he is a very versatile striker with outstanding speed, dribbling, running position and shooting ability.

At this time, Benzema has not yet become a supportive center forward, and now he is the core player of Lyon.

At the Ligue [-] best award ceremony, Zidane was present in person and presented the award to Benzema.

Together with him, Ben Alpha, known as the "Four Little Swans", only won the best newcomer.

Now Benzema has become a super genius that everyone is looking forward to.

In terms of analogy, it is about the same status as Mbappe before the World Cup.

Such two offensive players cannot be resisted by Cannes' defense.

Could it be that Cannes really has no chance of winning?
In order to pursue that insignificant possibility, Li Ze played 13 games in a row and lost 13 games in a row, and finally got a clue.

Lyon is definitely better than Cannes in all aspects. If Lyon has any shortcomings, it should be their defense.

First of all, there are weaknesses in Lyon's goalkeeper.

This season, the starting goalkeeper Coupe was injured, and for a long time the substitute Remy Vercutt acted as the starting goalkeeper.

However, Weikut's level is quite average, not even a star player, and he and Ben Hammao are both limited.

As for Kupe, if he is 35 years old, he is no longer a first-class goalkeeper.

If Li Ze remembers correctly, in the upcoming European Cup in 08, he served as the starting goalkeeper, but he was beaten 1:4 by the Netherlands!

In this European Cup, France got out of the group stage with 1 draw and 2 losses at the bottom, from which we can see Coupe's personal strength.

It is worth mentioning that the Netherlands, which is in the same group as France, won three consecutive group matches, and then was defeated by Russia in the quarter-finals, achieving the title of Russian Tsar Arshavin.

The strongest Netherlands has fallen again...

Secondly, Lyon's current main central defender combination is also a bit problematic. The two starters are Squillage and François Claire.

This is not Lyon's regular starting central defender. Previously, Lyon's starting central defender was Squillage and captain Chris.

However, Chris, as the captain, was injured at the beginning of the season and has not recovered yet.

Claire was not a central defender before, but a right back.

It's not that he doesn't know how to play the position of central defender, but his level is not much higher.

Francois Claire is the first weakness of Lyon's defense.

Again, it is Lyon's winger. Although Grosso is very famous, his performance in the 06 World Cup was very impressive.

But it is well known that after that World Cup, Grosso's state declined quickly.

He is still a star now, but he no longer has the dominance he used to.

Among the dozen or so games played by Li Ze, if he singled out Grosso, he would have a high chance of winning; if Angulo were to challenge the Italian full-back, he would have a good chance of winning.

Compared to Grosso, the other full-back Reveer is a bit more difficult to deal with.

It's not that Li Ze has no chance of winning against Revere, but it is relatively lower than Grosso.

As far as Li Ze's own feelings are concerned, Reveer can be regarded as a world-class full-back.

Finally, it was Lyon's midfield.

After Alan Perrin took office, Lyon has been playing a 433 formation.

Lyon's midfielders have been hovering between Schelstrom, Juninho Jr., Bodmore and Toulalang.

Among these four people, Bodmore is the worst one, and he is generally not allowed to start the game when challenging strong teams.

The remaining three people should not be underestimated. Kjellstrom is a Swedish international and a B to B all-around midfielder.

Naturally, Juninho Jr. needs no further mention. He is a free-kick master at the historical level, and his level as the core of the midfield is also quite good. He is not good at dribbling and ball control, but he is also qualified, and his passing and defensive abilities are relatively good. Unfortunately, the Brazilian national team is too strong at this time. A superstar goalkeeper like Juninho is not qualified to be the main player in the national team.

Toulalan replaced Makelele in the French national team, but his style is closer to Vieira's, and he is a defensive midfielder with both offense and defense.

Of course, he is a weakened version of Vieira, and his defensive ability is slightly weaker than his offensive ability.

It can be said that the three midfielders in Lyon are basically the type with both offense and defense.

They cooperate together, which is not comparable to the players in Cannes.

If there is any weakness in Lyon's midfield, it is that there is no defensive vanguard.

It is a strong offensive formation like 433, but there are no strong players in defense. This can be said to be a negligible weakness of Lyon.

After analyzing these, Li Ze probably understood how to deal with Lyon's defense.

"not enough……"

It is not enough to analyze Lyon's defensive shortcomings thoroughly.

Because even if Cannes puts on an iron bucket array, it can't stop Lyon's attack!
Thinking of this, Li Ze focused on his own abilities.

During this period of time, the victories he led the team to win, the best he was elected, the awards he won, and the French Federation Cup championship all brought him a lot of ability points.

Now, that's an exaggerated number...
