Chapter 122 The Precarious Blue Army

Before the real arrival of the Champions League round of [-], Lyon has to play a Ligue [-] game first.

On February 2th, in the 20th round of Ligue 27, the Lyon team challenged Lille away.

At present, Lille is a team that is striving for three. Both the Europa League and the French Cup have been eliminated early. The French League Cup has reached the final, but only the last final is left.

It is precisely because of this that they have no distractions to compete for the third, and they were able to draw away with Paris in the last round.

In this round of home games against Lyon, who is also about to participate in the Champions League knockout round, Lille once again showed its ability to stir up shit.

Come up with the best defensive tactics at home, just waiting for Lyon to make mistakes in a hurry.

Yalai was sent off with two yellow cards in the 60th minute, and then Umtiti elbowed his opponent in the corner kick defense and went straight to the red.

Lyon played with two less players, and finally lost 0:1 to Lille in the away game, ending the six-game winning streak in the league.

"The Lyon team didn't show enough commitment in this game. It seems that their minds have already flown to the last sixteen of the Champions League a few days later."

The French commentator was right. Lyon lost the game because of the opponent's tactics on the one hand, and on the other hand, their own mentality was unstable.

It seems that the whole team is anxious to play the Champions League knockout round, so they played impetuously during the game.

Zhang Chaoqiang was helpless in the face of this situation.

"Hello, Paris Busters, we are Lyon Busters!"

At the end of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang saw the sign played by the Lille fans in the stands.

Inexplicably, Lear seems to have restrained Leon.

Lyon's unbeaten record last season was ended by Lille, and they lost to each other at a critical moment this season.

The last round had just recovered the two-point difference, and this round was immediately opened by three points.

Even though the chasing and loss of points were all given by Bailier, but this time around, Lyon lost a point instead.

At present, Lyon has become 4 points behind Paris, and Ibrahimovic also took the opportunity to recover two goals.

"The Champions League knockout round is coming soon. I hope this loss will not affect the mentality of the Lyon team."

The domestic commentary also said so.

After returning to Lyon, the team coaching staff immediately summoned the players for a team meeting.

"The past games can't be changed, we don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Now we have our next opponent, Chelsea, a very special opponent."

"They've got a big name, but they're in a weakened state right now."

"I believe everyone knows that they have just encountered a huge turmoil, and they have changed coaches temporarily, and they cannot exert their full strength."

"As long as we show our normal state, we have a great chance of defeating them, and the reputation gained by defeating them is far greater than the sacrifice."

Lyon faced Chelsea in the last [-] of the Champions League. This result is certainly not too good, but it is not too bad.

At least it is much better than meeting Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and other teams.

Speaking of which, Chelsea are the defending champions of the Premier League, and their overall strength is naturally good.

But they fell into civil strife just after the start of the new season.

In the first round of the new Premier League season, Chelsea hosts Swansea.

The Blues were leveled twice after leading twice and received a red card for the second time.

Swansea got a one-handed chance. Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois made a clearance and tripped someone. While giving the opponent a penalty, he was sent off with a red card.

Speaking of which, the Swansea player who made the penalty kick and the red card was the former Lyon striker Gomi.

It was just an ordinary Premier League game, even a draw is no big deal.

But in stoppage time, Chelsea dribbled the ball and Hazard was tripped by the Swansea captain before falling to the ground.

Chelsea's women's team doctor Ava immediately went to the field to check Hazard's injury, but Mourinho was furious on the sidelines and cursed.

According to the Premier League regulations, if a player on the field is injured and the team doctor enters the field, the player must leave the field for treatment, and can only return to the field to participate in the game after obtaining the approval of the referee.

Chelsea had already played one less player, and the team doctor's rash entry caused Hazard to leave the field, so Mourinho was very angry. After the game, he blamed the stupid medical team for causing him to lose the game.

But Ava is not a vegetarian either. She thought she was just performing the duties of the team doctor and did nothing wrong at all, so she fought back on social media.

This is the fuse that triggered the rapid defeat of the second phase of Mu - the team doctor's door incident.

Mourinho himself is a topical figure, and the team doctor story was quickly spread widely by the English media.

The key point is that Mourinho has no intention of calming down the matter at all, and quickly issued a ban on Ava, not allowing her to participate in anything in the Chelsea team.

Ava was also unequivocal, threatening to take Mourinho to court on charges of workplace persecution and gender discrimination.

As a result, the team doctors became more and more troublesome, and the city was full of storms, which made the English tabloids earn enough traffic.

Most importantly, the team doctor's door quickly triggered infighting in the Blues, and Mourinho gradually lost control of the team's locker room.

Last season was still the champion team that won the Premier League, and this season has been out of shape for a long time.

The most obvious is Hazard. As the core of the Blues, he has always helped the team with dribbling.

But after the team doctor broke out, he rarely broke through on the court, and almost every time he received a pass, he quickly transferred it to his teammates, playing like a striker.

But he has never been a player who specializes in point-and-shoot shots.

As a result, Chelsea's performance as the defending champion plummeted, and it has been hanging half-dead at the door of the relegation zone for a long time.

Finally, in mid-December, Chelsea boss Abramovich announced the dismissal of Mourinho and invited Dutch coach Guus Hiddink to be the interim coach.

In general, the current Chelsea has just experienced the team doctor's door and Mourinho's dismissal. It should be damaged in a short period of time. Lyon has every chance to beat the opponent.

On February 2th, at 24:8 pm local time in France, the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of 45, Lyon's home game against Chelsea officially arrived.

"This game is Zhang Chaoqiang's first Champions League knockout game, and it is also his cumulative seventh Champions League game."

"Before Zhang Chaoqiang, there were three Chinese players who played in the Champions League. Sun Xiang played 4 times, Hao Junmin played 2 times, and Dong Fangzhuo played 1 time. Now Zhang Chaoqiang alone has tied the cumulative number of appearances of the three of them."

"Chelsea has been in a constant state this season. As the defending champions of the Premier League, they are currently only ranked 12th in the Premier League standings."

"But Lyon's situation is not very good. They just suffered a defeat in Ligue [-]. Not only was the winning streak ended, Zhang Chaoqiang's consecutive goals were also interrupted, and it was Hazard's old Dong who interrupted these records. Ryl."

Lyon has a regular 442 formation at home. At present, except for Fekir, they are considered to be fully staffed.

The Blues Chelsea arranged a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Courtois
Defenders: Rahman Baba, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta;
Defensive midfielders: Cesc Fabregas, Mikel;

Avant-garde: Hazard, Willian, Pedro;
Forward: Diego Costa.

[You start stealing the sky from Eden Hazard, explosive +1]

Hazard is also a player with a speed of more than double [-], but he can't steal with a slightly lower speed, but he can steal a bit with a slightly higher burst.
