Chapter 164 Unexpected Start
After the pre-match ceremony was over and the time was confirmed, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3):
Coach: Carlo Ancelotti.

Goalkeeper: Sirigu.

Defenders: Maxwell, Sakho, Alex, Yalai.

Midfielders: Pastore, Sissoko, Nene.

Forwards: Wang Zi, Varo, Mene.

In terms of Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup, Ancelotti made some minor adjustments compared to the previous game's lineup. Varro and Yalai got the chance to start, and the other positions remained unchanged.

"Since Carlo Ancelotti coached Paris Saint-Germain, Italian coaches especially prefer Yale at the right back position. This should be one of the biggest changes Ancelotti made to the lineup of former coach Compaore.

Patrick Guillo followed up and expressed his opinion: "It is like this. Compared with the former coach Combore, Ancelotti gave Yale more opportunities. The reason why he chose Yale may be that Ancelotti valued Yale's excellent defensive ability, while Chan Thom's chances of playing less are because Paris Saint-Germain has supplemented outstanding players in the midfield this season. In the current 4-3-3 formation of the team, Pastore and Nene are the main players of the iron fight Players have to compete for a starting position, Matuidi, Sissoko and Motta, who joined in the winter transfer window, all have strong strengths, so the competitive pressure on Chantome can be imagined."

After a pause, Patrick Guillo continued: "The same reasoning also applies to Paris Saint-Germain's defense. Defenders such as Bodmer, Bivaschezi, Lugano and Sierra now have to participate in the competition for the team's starting position, because Alex and Maxwell, who started in this game, are very threatening to the starting position of the team's old players."

"After the Qatar consortium took over, the club's new chairman has a very high goal, and to match his ambition, he must be a really strong and capable team. Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup will only be strong in the future. In this case, the strength and state of the players will directly determine their position in the team. Whether they are starting or substituting, or even not substituting, what's more, they can only go far away to Paris."

Yoan Lu nodded in agreement with his partner, and then concluded: "Strength determines one's future, fierce competition will only become more cruel, natural selection, the principle of survival of the fittest is especially applicable in football clubs."

Lyon (4-3-3):
Head Coach: Remy Gard.

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Ali Sissoko, Bakary Kone, Chris, Reviere.

Midfielders: Gonalon, Schelstrom, Bastos.

Forwards: Gomi, Lisandro Lopez, Brion.

Multi-line combat also allowed Lyon coach Remy Gard to make personnel adjustments to the starting lineup for this game, but like Paris Saint-Germain, the changes are not very big, that is, adjustments to individual positions. For example, the team's midfielder Ederson was placed on the bench today.

-

After the start of the game, Lyon, who was sitting on the home court, seized the opportunity to create a dangerous situation as soon as the game started.

"Schelstrom's long pass found Gomi who was sprinting on the wing." As the ball left from the feet of Schelstrom and ran towards Gomi, Patrick Guillo instantly became refreshed.

In front of Gomi, Mene, who was still in his own half, had not had time to make defensive moves. After receiving the ball, the Lyon winger stepped out with his right foot, and the rolled ball quickly rolled past Mene.

"The human ball is divided!"

The Lyon fans at the Olympic Park were all excited. Even they themselves were not ready to set their sights on the court. They thought the start of the game was just a small fight, but they started to fight "bayonet" immediately after the opening.

After re-touching the ball, Gomi continued to rush forward along the sidewalk, and Yalai kept retreating following Gomi's rhythm. To be on the safe side, he had the choice to directly stretch out his feet to try to steal the ball under Gomi's feet.

All the way to the perimeter of the penalty area, the Lyon winger began to change from a forward rush to an inside cut. Yalai, who had no way to retreat, shoveled sideways towards Gomi's feet. Gomi, who had prepared in advance, evaded Yalai's defense with his right foot, and then dribbled the ball along the penalty area line.

"Using continuous feints to get rid of Ya Lai and Alex! Gomi came to the top of the penalty area!"

In the process of throwing away Alex, Gomi saw the shoveling from his right side, and the Lyon winger volleyed the ball vigorously before he could fully adjust his pace!
Gomi's shot is right on target, but very fast!
Standing in front of the goal, Sirigu didn't need to move his footsteps, he raised his arm and jumped up with a very quick reaction.

"boom!"

A crisp sound!
The ball hit the crossbar!
"The crossbar! Gomi's shot hit the crossbar!"

Patrick Guillo let out an exclamation.

After landing, Sirigu broke out in a cold sweat.

"What a pity! The ball hit the crossbar!"

"Oh! Damn it!"

"Nimma! I'll go!"

Whether it was the Lyon fans at the scene or the Lyon fans who were watching the game elsewhere, they sighed unconsciously, and their voices were full of disappointment and regret.

"Lyon was too caught off guard by this attack. Paris Saint-Germain didn't seem to have reacted yet. The entire defense line was useless in front of Gomi. If it wasn't for Sissoko's last tackle that allowed Gomi to shoot ahead of time without adjustment. Fortunately, the crossbar of the Olympic Park saved Paris Saint-Germain. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say."

-

Almost conceded a goal in the 3rd minute of the opening, and Paris Saint-Germain hadn't reacted for a while.

But this is just the beginning!
Three minutes later, with the first shot to boost momentum, Lyon launched a fierce attack again. When Bakari Kone approached the midfield with the ball, he gave the ball to Gomi on the side.

"It's Gommy again!"

With the lesson from last time, all the Lyon fans at the scene watched every move on the court with bated breath.

Unloading the ball flying in the air with his right foot, the Lyon winger did not rush along the sidewalk as before. It's not that he didn't want to, but this time Paris Saint-Germain's defense against him was obviously done much better.

Mene and Sissoko double-teamed, and Gomi quickly played the ball, and he knocked the ball horizontally to Schelstrom not far away.

Mene hurriedly turned his head and rushed towards Schelstrom. The Lyon midfielder turned sideways to avoid Mene's rushing up and stretching his feet to grab the ball.

Turning his back to Mene, Kjellstrom passed the ball back to Bakary Kone. The Lyon central defender who had already run in front of the center circle then split the side again. This time, he passed the ball directly in the midfield.

Lisandro Lopez accelerated to throw off Sacco, who had been following him, and ran to the ball's landing point.

The ball flew over Pastore's head and began to fall, and Lisandro Lopez rushed to it.

"Lisandro Lopez receives a pass from teammate Bacary Kone!"

Pastore's quick retreat could not stop Lisandro Lopez from receiving the ball. Lisandro Lopez, who stopped the ball, took the ball and took a step to the penalty area.

Maxwell, who was desperately rushing back, saw that Lisandro Lopez was about to shoot, he no longer hesitated, took a big stride, and at the same time strode out with his right leg, the Paris Saint-Germain full-back tried to block Lisandro Lopez's shot.

But it didn't work!

While Maxwell stretched out his right leg, Lisandro Lopez had already shot towards the goal guarded by Sirigu!

Not only was it useless, Maxwell's outstretched leg interception also interfered with his teammate Sirigu's sight.

Sirigu could only make a rescue action based on his own feeling, and fell to the ground on his right side!
"The ball flew through Maxwell's center goal to the far corner!"

"Sirigu judged the right direction, but still failed to prevent the ball from flying into the net!"

"Lyon 1:0 Paris Saint-Germain!"
