Lord of Greenery

Chapter 72 Lost Initiative

A tie can keep the championship, at least from the perspective of the game situation, this is an advantage.

Although the Hua Guo team can't always grasp this advantage, it is indeed an advantage.

At the beginning of the game against Clermont, Clermont coach Gastin felt a toothache watching Cannes put up a defensive position, and even played without a striker again.

It's not that he hasn't studied this possibility, but he still didn't consider it in the end.

It's not because it's impossible for Cannes to come up with such a lineup, but because once Cannes uses it, he doesn't know how to play.

He really wanted to go to the coaching seat in Cannes and ask, "You are the strongest team in France C, why are you so cowardly?"

Then, Dusuye might answer him like this, "The strongest fart! The one who wins this round is the strongest!"

While Gastin was fidgeting, Dusuye was rock-solid, at least on the surface.

Clermont has been very strong this season, especially their offense.

In the past 37 rounds of the league, they scored 73 goals!
In this regard, Cannes' performance is even stronger, scoring a full 77 goals!
In terms of defense, the level of the two sides is not far behind, both conceding more than 40 goals.

It can be said that from offense to defense, the strength gap between Cannes and Clermont is not far away, and even the points are almost the same.

It can be said that it is a chess match!
"Cannes undoubtedly has an advantage. The advantage of points allows them to fight for a draw with peace of mind, and Clermont must attack!" Leonardo is obviously full of confidence, "It is not easy to contribute to Cannes' defense matter."

"I don't think so." Claremont's commentator Gaspar retorted, "Cannes' defense is actually not that good."

Leonardo knew he was telling the truth, but couldn't help but refute.

"Cannes and Clermont both conceded more than 40 goals, ranking seventh and ninth respectively in the league, but that's why they put more focus on attacking."

"That's not what I meant," Gaspar denied. "What I meant was that Cannes didn't have a defensive champion."

"Isn't Catron?" Leonardo didn't care.

"But he's old and tired."

Leonardo was about to refute, but he couldn't come out.

Catron is old, this is an objective fact, and he is tired, which is also visible to the naked eye.

It's okay to meet half of the French C strikers, but I met Clermont, who is second in the French C attack...

"The iron barrel array is not so easy to crack."

Leonardo is still stubborn, but he is obviously not so confident.

On the court, Li Ze also felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why it was wrong, which made him a little uneasy for no reason.

In the 11th minute, Jacques steals a long pass from his opponent with his right foot.

"plum!"

Although he yelled that, Li Ze was a little speechless when he looked at the ball that was far away from him and crooked.

In the end, the ball was grabbed by Angulo.

Li Ze was about to step forward, subconsciously looked around.

This is his instinct, or the instinct after imitating Busquets.

As a midfielder, ensuring vision is the most basic and important.

Seeing this, Li Ze felt that something was wrong.

The defensive midfielder Anthony is advancing, and the defender Jacques is also advancing.

It is understandable for Anthony to move forward and Li Ze, why did Jacques also move forward?

Before he had time to think too much, Li Ze followed Angulo and started running.

The team's offense cannot do without him, and he must start running.

However, in the next second, Angulo was jointly intercepted by defender Yudren and midfielder Ndiaye, and the ball fell to Clermont again.

Li Ze stopped quickly and returned to defense immediately.

He has no complaints against Angulo in his heart, and it is really normal for the ball to be cut off.

But he was also a little strange because Angulo lost the ball too quickly.

Li Ze was returning to defense when he suddenly saw Ndiaye glanced at the frontcourt, and then made a big kick.

Li Ze followed the trajectory of the ball, and suddenly found that Jacques hadn't returned to the defense in time.

"Go back, Jacques go back!" Li Ze shouted hastily.

Jacques' reaction was a step slower, but it was only one step.

In such a crucial game, it is impossible for him to be distracted.

However, a slow step is also slow. Ndiaye's long pass is obviously higher than the average level of France C. The ball did not find Lagent accurately, but it still passed to the threat area.

Cutron's anticipation ability is excellent, and he started half a beat ahead of Largent.

Largent was also an excellent striker, running right after him.

It's a pity that Lagent's running ability is much better than the old and tired Catron. Two seconds later, Lagent overtook Catron!
Catron predicted where the ball will land, then looked at the relative position of his own landing point and the goal, and finally scanned the positions of his teammates.

Described in words, it seems to take a long time for Catron to do this, but in the real world, Catron only took a second to observe.

Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Largent.

At this time, the earlier the foul, the less punishment.

If it doesn't, Largent can get a one-on-one as long as he gets thrown off!

Too late to complain, Catron made the best choice.

Being pulled by him like this, Largent's body staggered, but Catron himself couldn't keep up with Largent's speed and strength, so he lost his balance during the pull and fell to the ground.

On the other side, Largent swayed for a while, and then he maintained his center of gravity in embarrassment!

As a player who dared to play as a center forward in France, Lagent's physical fitness is quite strong.

His decline in performance in the second half of the season was also due to a decline in physical strength that led to a decline in confrontation ability.

However, this was the last game, and Largent didn't need to save his energy.

On the other hand, Catron, he didn't want to save his energy, but he was out of energy!

Therefore, in the first round of the two sides, Catron, who was still avoided by Largent, was directly crushed in this match!

Largent, who regained his center of gravity, faced Benhamal who was panicking in front of him single-handedly.

Looking at the young face of the goalkeeper, the only pressure in Largent's heart dissipated a lot.

In the last confrontation, he scored two goals.

On the contrary, when Ben Hamao saw that he got the single knife, he felt guilty.

Occasionally, Benhamal chose to attack.

"Stupid! Go back!" Du Suye couldn't sit still anymore.

However, Ben Hammao was on the court, and it was impossible to hear his scolding.

Lagent looked at Benhamal who was attacking, and swayed sideways to avoid Benhamal's throw. In front of him, there was only one empty goal left.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"1:0! Clermont took the lead away!"

The Coubertin Stadium, which can accommodate nearly [-] Cannes fans, was silent for a while, except for the screams of Clermont fans.
