Lord of Greenery

Chapter 121 Start the game!Cancer of Lyon!
Unlike the knockout rounds, the French Cup finals are played on neutral grounds.

Rather, it would be too much of a joke if a coin toss is used to determine the home and away games in the final.

But even though the final was played at a neutral venue, Cannes fans suffered a lot.

The reason is also very simple, there are more fans in Lyon than in Cannes, much more!

To be precise, it should be considered that there are too few fans in Cannes.

No way, Cannes is so big in total, the total number of fans is not many, and there are even fewer people who can come to neutral players with the team to buy tickets to watch the game.

If it weren't for the great performance in Cannes this season, the Lyonians would be fighting at home!

What surprised Li Ze was that he saw many Chinese people in the stands of Cannes fans.

They were holding his sign and shouting loudly for him.

Li Ze won the French League Cup, which was the first championship won by a Chinese player in the five major leagues!
This is something to be proud of, and for Li Ze, it is also something to be ashamed of, for Huaguo football.

Now, Li Ze is aiming for the second championship of Huaguo players in the five major leagues. Huaguo fans who know the situation have come across the ocean to cheer for him!
Li Ze was very moved, but he also knew that the most important thing now was to warm up and prepare for the battle.

He must concentrate!
Today, if Cannes wants to beat Lyon, it must rely on his performance.

For this reason, he cannot allow any external factors to affect his state.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to play in a blink of an eye.

When the players from both sides entered the field, the Lyon fans gave the Cannes players a blow.

They shouted the names of Lyon players in unison and booed loudly when Cannes players came on the pitch.

In front of Lyon fans, the few Cannes fans who are not "professional" appear to be very powerless.

On the coach's seat, Aristide looked at his players worriedly.

Even in the confrontation with Paris, the Cannes fans did not fall into this absolute disadvantage.

What's more, this is not Lyon's home court, these fans can still have such dominance.

It has to be said that Lyon's strength as the overlord of Ligue [-] for seven consecutive championships can be seen from the reaction of the fans.

Aristide didn't know if his players could withstand it.

"The difference between the fans on both sides is the difference between the two teams." The Lyon commentator said proudly.

Cannes fans were angry, but there was no way to refute it.

Whether it is the fans or the team's combat effectiveness in Cannes, there is no way to compare with Lyon.

Cannes is a small shrimp that is extremely difficult to enter Ligue [-], while Lyon is a giant who has won seven consecutive Ligue [-] titles!

It may be a joke to compare the two together.

"At least for this moment, we are on the same stage as them." Li Ze encouraged his teammates, "They may win the championship, but so can we!"

Cannes players gathered together.

This season, they have accomplished too many impossible things.

At this point, how could they be afraid?
"Cannes!"

"Definitely!"

The Lyon players looked at the opponent in front of them in surprise.

Contrary to their expectations, under the interference of the Lyon players, the Cannes players were full of fighting spirit.

The Cannes players are not afraid, and the Lyon players have no reason to back down.

They have come all the way to this point, who will give up the championship?
After tossing a coin to select the venue, the formations of the opponents are also clear at a glance.

"Paris' goalkeeper is Coupe, and Perrin still chooses to trust the veteran at critical moments."

"The four defenders from left to right are Grosso, Squillacci, Claire and Revey."

"The three midfielders are Toulalang, Kjellstrom and Juninho."

"The three strikers are Ben Arfa, Benzema and Govou."

"This is the 433 formation that Perrin has been using this season. They did not change blindly against Cannes."

"As for Cannes..."

The narrator paused.

"The goalkeeper is Ben Hamao, the back four are Schuman Ba, Catron, Thierry and Cedric."

"As for the midfield, it's Wayne Toure, Anthony, Steven, Nicola and Angulo."

"4321? Christmas tree? Huaguo Li Dan striker?"

The narrator deliberately expressed doubts.

They already knew the starting line-up for Cannes well before the game started.

So even if they were doubts, they had already finished their doubts.

As for now, it is just to share this doubt with the audience.

"Hua Guoli has always been the core midfielder in Cannes, organizing, passing, and breaking through. His position is more like a shadow forward."

"If I remember correctly, although Li scored a lot of goals, he never played as a lone striker."

As if knowing what the commentator was talking about, the camera quickly focused on Cannes coach Dusuye.

"Is this formation useful? Let us wait and see!"

Three minutes after the start of the game, the rhythm of the game fell into the hands of Lyon.

Sharp-eyed fans noticed that Li Zezhen had been wandering in the forward position, and seemed to have no intention of returning to the midfield to help the team organize.

In the stands, scout Grimandi did not continue writing, but concentrated on watching the game.

Intuition told him that the change of Li Ze's position would bring him surprises!
However, the tempo of the game has always been in Lyon's hands.

In the 5th minute, Ben Alpha received a pass and saw Toure standing in front of him, so he chose to break through directly after a disagreement.

Among the four little swans in France, Ben Alpha's strongest is his ability to dribble and break through.

In this aspect of talent, he can even come close to Messi!
With a feint and a change of direction, Ben Alpha easily got rid of Toure.

In the middle position, Benzema is reaching out to ask.

Ben Alpha turned his head forcefully, took the ball and continued to attack!
In fact, as the four little swans of France, Ben Arfa has always performed better than Benzema in Lyon's youth team.

He joined the first team sooner than Benzema, performed faster and was recognized sooner.

In his heart, he probably regarded him who was nine months younger than his little brother.

Not the younger brother of the brother, but the younger brother of the subordinate.

And now, the situation is reversed!

He won the best in Ligue [-], and Zidane personally presented the award!
And he only got the best rookie...

Best Newcomer?
A seed was buried in my heart, maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was dissatisfaction.

Ben Alpha did not pass the ball in the end, but held the ball and wanted to continue to break through Cedric!

The Cannes full-back did not act rashly, but kept getting stuck in his inside cuts and crosses.

Ben Arfa managed to leave him behind, but was slow to create enough space to kick in a cross.

When he realized it, Ben Alpha found himself in a corner position surrounded by three players from Cannes!

Ben Arfa, who tried to break through again, was easily intercepted by Catron.

Off the field, Dusuye breathed a sigh of relief.

He bet right, Ben Alpha is turning into a cancerous tumor!
