The game continues.
After equalizing the score, Auxerre's momentum obviously picked up. But Lyon did not flinch. They continued to maintain high-intensity pressing and rapid transition between offense and defense.
Claude Puel's tactical execution is extremely strong. His players are like a precise machine on the court, and every gear is running according to a predetermined trajectory.
At the eleventh minute, Lyon once again threatened.
Pjanić picked up the ball in the midfield, observed Auxerre's right back Mignot was standing forward, and sent the ball behind the Auxerre defense with a long overhead pass.
Govou jumped in at high speed and received the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Instead of rushing to shoot, he knocked the ball across to Li Sandro·López at the top of the penalty area.
López picked up the ball with his back, and Grichting came up from behind. López didn't hold it hard, but returned the ball to Makoun who came in behind.
Makoun shot the ball furiously - but Hengbart used his body to block the ball from the baseline.
Corner kick.
Pjanić took a corner kick, Cris fought for the top in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal - the ball was saved by Sorin.
"Lyon's offensive is getting stronger and stronger!" Bart shouted, "Auxerre's defense is under tremendous pressure! If Sorin hadn't gotten better today, the score might have been rewritten!"
Dugarry frowned. "Auxerre's midfielder was completely out of control. The defense couldn't prevent Lyon's impact, and the offense couldn't deliver good shells to Zhang Kuang and Jelen. Only the previous time he gave Zhang Kuang a pass, and Zhang Kuang turned it into an effective goal."
"This is the problem with Auxerre now." Bart said, "Auxerre's midfield and backcourt status declined a bit too fast in the second half of the season. Even if they can win the championship this season, they will collapse once Zhang Kuang leaves next season."
Dugarry: "Maybe they haven't thought about next season at all? As long as they can win the championship once, they are not a wealthy team and they still want to win the championship every year."
Bart smiled bitterly, "..."
Sixteenth minute.
The opportunity has come.
Lyon's corner kick was punched out by Sorin, and the ball fell to the feet of Pedretti on the outside of the penalty area. Pedretti did not stop the ball and passed the ball to Zhang Kuang near the center circle.
Zhang Kuang turned his back to get the ball, and Toulalan came up from behind.
This time, Toulalan learned wisely. He did not rush to grab the ball, but pressed his body firmly against Zhang Kuang, not giving him any room to turn around.
But Zhang Kuang had no intention of turning around.
He flicked the ball with his left foot and turned his body to the right - not to pass the ball, but to pass the ball to Oliech who was on the wing.
Oliech took the ball on the right, and Lyon's left back Cissokho pounced on it. Oliech didn't force it, but knocked the ball horizontally to Pedretti who was retreating in the middle.
Pedretti did not stop the ball and sent the ball to the left with a long diagonal pass.
Zhang Kuang didn't know when he had switched positions to the left wing.
He got the ball near the sideline, and Lyon's right back Réveillère and midfielder Makoun rushed over at the same time - two people, one behind the other, blocked his breakthrough route.
Zhang Kuang didn't force it.
He passed the ball back to Berthod who was on the wing, and then quickly moved forward himself.
Berthod did not stop the ball and sent the ball through the ball into the space on the left side of the penalty area.
Zhang Kuang got the ball in the corner of the small penalty area.
Lyon's center back Boumsong rushed up from the front and blocked the shooting angle. Goalkeeper Lloris also left the goal and blocked the near corner.
Zhang Kuang didn't shoot.
He knocked the ball horizontally to Jelen in the center of the penalty area with his left foot, then ran laterally, passing in front of Boumsong to the right side of the small penalty area.
Jelen is not greedy for merit and will do it right away.
The ball rolled to the feet of Zhang Kuang.
Empty gate.
Push.
2:1.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
Bart's voice was already hoarse, "Two goals! Zhang Kuang scored twice! In the 16th minute, Auxerre went ahead and overtook the score!"
"This is a team goal!" Dugarry shouted, "It took seven passes from stealing the ball in the backcourt to scoring in the frontcourt! Zhang Kuang started the attack from his own half, and finally finished it by himself! This is the free man in the frontcourt! This is the power of one person to change a team!
Looking at the first ten minutes, Auxerre has been in a passive state and has been unable to pass the ball to the frontcourt. However, the only two times they gave the ball to the frontcourt were converted into goals.
This conversion rate is too scary. The most important thing is that Zhang Kuang's goal conversion rate is incredibly high. I think he is more like a machine than a person..."
Zhang Kuang did the "Siu" celebration this time.
Jump up, turn around, throw your hands back--
"Siu----!"
In the visiting team's stands, the red area shouted along with him. The voices of hundreds of China fans overwhelmed the silence of more than 40,000 home fans.
Grichting rushed over and hugged Zhang Kuang: "You are a god! You are the fucking god of war!"
Pedretti ran over and patted Zhang Kuang on the back of the head. "Good shot."
On the sidelines, Fernandez finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He rushed to the sidelines, shook his fist fiercely, then turned around and high-fived assistant coach Stéphane.
At this moment, he was as excited as a child. He was about to win his first championship. This was undoubtedly a huge excitement for a coach who had never won a championship before.
Claude Puel stood on the other side of the court, his expression changed from frozen to blank.
He made all the preparations before the game - pressing high, lightning goals, strangulation in the midfield, and shrinking the defensive line.
His plan came to fruition in the fifth minute.
But Zhang Kuang shattered his plan with two goals.
A 35-meter long shot, a teamwork instigated from the backcourt - two completely different ways of scoring goals, demonstrating the abilities of the same person in two completely different dimensions.
Puel took a deep breath, walked to the sidelines, and made a gesture to his players - shrink, stop attacking, defend first.
We can't let Zhang Kuang have the ball anymore.
When Lyon decided to shrink, the rest of the game was a mess. The ball was basically strangled in the midfield. The back and forth between the two sides was more or less a fierce confrontation. When the confrontation was about to get angry, the midfield ended!
During the halftime break, both teams made precise arrangements. Fans from China also received friendly guides from France fans. However, some fans were not used to it. They could hear the excited collision and shouting of two men in the men's room.
Seeing the China fans who were trembling with fear, the France fans burst into laughter, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
Some France fans even asked China fans, why are they so shy? Isn't Zhang Kuang very open-minded? He even brought four women home in one night.
China fans. "..."
They expressed that they were very scared. Didn't they say that Westerners are very civilized? Why are there urine smells everywhere, pickpockets everywhere, and shops not open to buy things? Not to mention the inconvenience, how can people still be surprised by things like that in the men's restroom?
China fans are trembling!
