At the same time, in the Lyon locker room, Fournier was furious.

Being beaten 0:2 in the first half was unacceptable to any coach.

Fournier clenched his right hand into a fist and pounded the tactical board hard.

"What are you doing? Wake up! The opponent is a team that has never played in the Champions League for more than ten years. You can't beat such an opponent, so what are you talking about playing in the top 16 and the quarterfinals!"

The players watched him get angry, and on the surface they were submissive, but in fact they were all very unhappy.

Fournier always talked about Laco not playing in the Champions League for many years, and didn't even look at Laco's performance in La Liga last season.

Third in the league, and defeated the powerful Barcelona to win the King's Cup in the cup competition. Aren't these achievements?

I'm lying with my eyes open. I always feel that Laco is weak. Is this coach a jerk?

No one dares to say it out loud.

During the 15-minute break, Fournier cursed for at least 13 minutes.

Lyon players were dejected and listened silently.

Until the last moment, Fournier softened his tone and said faintly: "The club just informed me that if we can qualify from the group this time, the bonus is 5 million euros!"

When they heard that there was an extra bonus, the locker room, which was still dead just now, immediately became lively.

Nsami was the first to shout loudly: "Coach, don't worry, we just need to score two goals in the second half!"

Umtiti followed up and said: "Yes, if they can score two, we can score two too!"

Tolisso, Fekir, Lacazette and other young players also expressed their firm attitude and said that they must fight with Laco in the second half!

Fournier saw the fighting spirit of the crowd and nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Everyone work hard, and try to score one as soon as possible in the second half!"

...

In the second half, Lyon kicked off first.

After the halftime break, Lyon's morale has obviously improved.

After the game resumed, a group of black guys were full of energy and ran all over the field.

Especially the players in the frontcourt, Tolisso, Fekir, Lacazette and others, who grabbed the ball as soon as they saw it, and were very fierce!

Faced with the sudden tough pressing and accelerated rhythm, Laco was a little uncomfortable.

Lyon took the opportunity to gradually take the initiative, and with the cheers of the fans, the offensive wave was higher than the other!

Just three minutes into the second half, Tolisso made a long shot at the top of the arc, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and almost went in.

Only five or six minutes later, Lacazette successfully broke through Karané's defense on the left and made a cross from the bottom. Fekir in the middle grabbed the header and hit it hard, but fortunately it was saved by Roux.

In this way, Lyon was still passive in the first half, but in the second half, they seemed to drink chicken blood, and the offensive wave was stronger than the other!

The French commentator on the scene, witnessing this situation, said: "After the start of the second half, Laco was a little passive. Jimenez had to think of a way. If this continues, it is very likely to lose the ball!"

Without him saying too much, Jimenez knew that it was dangerous to play like this.

He looked around the court, rubbing his chin with one hand, thinking whether it was time to make a substitution and strengthen the backcourt defense.

Just as he was hesitant, something changed on the field.

In the 59th minute, Fekir sent a lob pass in front of the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Lacazette, who will join Arsenal for 50 million euros in the future, seized the opportunity to volley the ball, and the football immediately bombarded Laco's goal like a cannonball!

Roux tried his best to save the ball, but the ball was too powerful and he couldn't stop it at all.

1:2, Lyon scored a goal!

Instantly, deafening cheers broke out on the Gerland Stadium.

Lacazette was extremely excited. He rushed to the corner flag area, knocked over the corner flag pole with one foot, then jumped over the billboard, ran to the front of the stands, and celebrated the goal with Lyon fans.

Fournier returned to his usual state, grinning, clapping and laughing.

Now they were only one goal behind, and there was still more than half an hour left in the game. He was getting more and more confident to catch up.

Jimenez couldn't sit still. He had planned to make a substitution in about 70 minutes, but now he wanted to make a move in advance.

Thinking about this, he waved to Rowe who was warming up in the distance, and then the two whispered.

Laco made a substitution adjustment, and Du Jie, who was in average form today, came off the court.

After Rowe came on the court, he ran towards Su Wei, and said to Su Wei when he got in front of him: "Su! The coach asked you to go to the defensive midfielder position, I will go to the right."

This substitution was not surprising. Just now, Lyon had been attacking fiercely, and Jimenez tried to strengthen the defensive ability of the midfield.

Su Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you here!"

After that, he ran to the midfield and stood next to Brozovic.

Brozovic was very tired today. Lyon's midfielders were quite strong, and he was a single defensive midfielder and couldn't handle it at all.

Seeing Su Wei coming at this moment, he felt like seeing a savior.

"Brother, you are finally here. I am so annoyed by the dead blacks on the opposite side!"

Su Wei chuckled and said, "Don't panic, we are still leading."

Brozovic said, "I feel relieved when you come. Take down these African mercenaries today, and I will treat you to pick up girls in the bar tonight."

As the two were talking, the referee's whistle sounded.

In the center circle, Salman and Farina had already kicked off.

The game continued, and Lyon, who scored a goal, was more motivated.

The score of 1:2 gave them hope of equalizing the score.

French Ligue 1 started in early August, and these old blacks have played in the league for more than a month, and their physical fitness is in the best condition.

After playing for more than an hour, they are still running fast.

Laco's forward line withdrew one player, and the attack seemed to be even more powerless.

After the game resumed, Lyon's ball possession advantage was more dominant than before.

However, although they had more ball possession, Lyon players gradually found that their attack was not as smooth as before.

Once the football crossed the center line, it was difficult to move forward, and the chance of shooting also dropped sharply.

The French commentator on the scene quickly found the problem.

"La Coruna has changed its formation. They are now in a 4231 formation, with Su and Brozovic playing as double defensive midfielders!"

"This is difficult to deal with. Su and Brozovic are both defensive midfielders with a large coverage area, especially Long Guosu. He is extremely fast. Our midfielders must be extra careful to prevent him from entangled and steal the ball. Try to pass the ball as much as possible and cooperate on the ground."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the Lyon fans in the stands exclaimed...
