Lord of Greenery

Chapter 124 Unyielding Cannes

For Cannes to be equalized or even overtaken, the reporters and even the fans are fully prepared psychologically.

This season, Cannes won the top three in the league, won a promotion spot, won the French League Cup, and broke into the final of the French Cup.
Such a result is amazing enough, but in front of Lyon, which has won seven consecutive Ligue [-] titles, it is still not enough to look at.

Everyone has long guessed that even if Cannes can take the lead in a short period of time, the final champion must still belong to Lyon.

Just like now, although everyone thinks that Lyon overtook the score too fast, it is not unacceptable.

Lyon has such strength.

At this moment, even Cannes fans no longer prayed for the team to win.

They still inspire their players, but they just hope that they can show tenacity.

On the field, the Cannes players have a different mentality.

So far this season, they have achieved unimaginable results.

To be honest, at the beginning of the season, everyone's goal was just relegation.

At that time, who would have thought that Cannes would achieve the current results?

It stands to reason that everyone should be satisfied, after all, they have already achieved very good results.

However, standing here at this moment, they didn't feel the slightest sense of satisfaction.

A championship is right in front of them, they only lost one goal, and there is still so much time, so why give up?

Angulo now felt that he was full of fighting spirit.

Stimulated by Li Ze, he performed very well this season, and was even selected into the best team of the season in Ligue [-].

But he is still not satisfied, his performance is still much worse than that of Li Ze, he doesn't want to be worse than anyone, especially that Huaguo man!

Once again, taking advantage of Grosso's gap to assist the attack, Angulo seized the opportunity to hit him behind him, almost creating a single shot!

Grosso realized his danger and began to put more energy on defense.

Immediately afterwards, the Italian defender realized that the young man in front of him was really difficult to deal with.

Although he is not in good condition now, it is not just anyone who can ride on his head.

But now, facing this young man from Ligue [-], he actually felt struggling to defend himself!

Didn't it mean that Cannes is the only one worth noting the Chinese?
Compared with Angulo's competitive spirit, Wayne Toure's mind is much simpler.

He has Rooney's name and Yaya Toure's surname, but he never thinks he is a star.

In Cannes, he has been playing as a defensive midfielder, conscientiously completing his defensive tasks.

For him, playing football is not a competitive game, but a job.

For himself and for the family who needs him to support, he will do his best every game.

Now that the score is behind, Toure did not panic, but felt a little ashamed.

Cannes was pulled twice in a row, which is definitely inseparable from their low defensive level.

Thinking of the prize money after winning the French Federation Cup, Toure was ashamed, but also full of motivation.

He looked for confrontation more actively, putting most of his attention on young Juninho.

Maybe he can't guard the core of Lyon, but he can also limit his actions!

Under his constant care, Juninho also felt the pressure.

This level is not high, but a player with excellent physical ability and active running will also cause him great headaches, especially when the opponent takes special care of him.

For a while, little Juninho lost his voice.

Unlike Toure, who is pure-minded, Catron is quite emotional now.

Once, he was also a member of Lyon. At that time, Lyon was not the current overlord, but it was also a strong team that could rank in the top three in the league.

At that time, he was in his prime and occupied a starting position in Lyon.

Later, he left.

Because his level has become lower, but also because he is old.

Aging is an enemy that all stars cannot defeat, at best they can resist it.

Cutron was 35 years old when he joined Cannes.

At that time, Cannes was still playing for France C.

After a season of hard work, Cannes finally ranked fourth in the league and failed to upgrade.

Many excellent players have left, but Catron chose to stay.

He was old, really old, and he realized it, accepted it.

He chose to stay and wanted to retire at Cannes.

What he didn't expect was that a young man suddenly appeared in Cannes, which was destined to fall.

Under his leadership, Cannes returned to Ligue [-], and even went to Ligue [-] next season. He even won a French League Cup at the last moment of his career.

On the day of winning the championship, Catron cried.

A 38-year-old veteran was in tears in front of a group of young people, crying unbearably.

Retiring with such a champion, there should be no regrets, right?

Do not!
Catron looked at Benzema in front of him, full of unwillingness.

not enough!

Just one championship is not enough!

He wants more!

The first goal conceded in Cannes this time was the young man who defeated him.

If this game is lost, Catron can only blame himself!
He hates this feeling.

But Catron isn't feeling sorry for himself, at least not yet.

Years of experience told him that it is useless to be angry, and it is more important to find a way.

He could see that Benzema, a young man, was a little inexperienced and a little afraid of physical collisions.

It is not uncommon in Ligue [-] to be afraid of physical confrontation despite being physically strong.

Once again, Ben Arfa's cross came.

Catron predicted the arrival of the cross, and he greeted Benzema directly with small movements, and grabbed his jersey.

Caught off guard, Benzema failed to jump up and missed this extremely high-quality cross in vain.

On the left, Ben Alpha screams angrily.

Benzema gave him a thumbs up, indicating that it was his fault.

He looked at Catron in front of him, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little strange——

Obviously they are all veterans who are about to retire, but they seem to be full of fighting spirit.

More importantly, he felt that he had been hit and hurt.

The scenes of being bullied by various black and tough defenders came to mind, making Benzema subconsciously afraid.

The French genius endured this fear, but he didn't have much courage to continue confronting Catron.

When the game went to 75 minutes, the score between the two sides was still 1:2.

Cannes failed to equalize and it would have been Lyon's title to end with the current scoreline.

However, the performance of the Cannes team has been unanimously appreciated by the commentators.

"It's hard to imagine that under the attack of Lyon, Cannes didn't concede any more goals!"

"One goal lead, this is a very subtle advantage."

"Lyon had to score another goal as soon as possible, but Cannes' defense seemed to be working."

"We may have to face up to this Ligue [-] team, they have shown quite a tough quality!"
