Chapter 134 It's Overtime Again

The game officially started, and Bayern, who was a guest, controlled the ball just like the first round.

In the opening 10 minutes, the situation of the two sides was relatively stable.

Bayern has an advantage in ball possession, but has not threatened Lyon's goal for the time being.

Fournier's arrangement is very clear, and Lyon still responds with a defensive counterattack at home.

Anyway, it is impossible to compete with Bayern in possession of the ball anyway, so hand over the ball with peace of mind and focus on counterattacks.

After the first 10 minutes of testing each other, Bayern began to increase their offensive efforts.

In the 13th minute, Lahm stepped in from the right and sent a return pass. Thiago lobbed the ball into the penalty area and scored Vidal's forward header, the only goal in the game, in the first round.

There was an exclamation in the Olympic Stadium, because Gonalons made a mistake in the header and made a clearance, and Vidal was completely in an empty position with a header.

Fortunately, the Chilean's header was very positive, directly pushing the football into the arms of Anthony Lopez.

"Lyon players have to defend carefully. Although they only lost one goal in the first leg, they did not score away goals."

"If the goal is conceded at home, it will be very disadvantageous."

As far as this game is concerned, the away goal mechanism is a sharp knife hanging over Lyon's head, and it will fall if you are not careful, and the damage is very high.

This is one of the reasons why Lyon focuses on defense.

At home, first consider defense, and find a way to score one without conceding the ball, then the game will be played.

In the 18th minute, Lyon captain Gonarones, who almost made a mistake and scored a goal, successfully tackled Bayern's pass, and Lyon quickly set off a counterattack.

Zhang Chaoqiang helped take the ball to the frontcourt, transferred the football to Valbuena, and then moved by himself, waiting for an opportunity to overlap.

After Tolisso responded to Valbuena, he immediately kicked forward and went straight to the side.

Zhang Chaoqiang directly accelerated to throw off Kimmich, rushed to the bottom line and kicked the ball towards the goal.

"Kalazette!! Great opportunity!!"

Javi Martinez and Alaba fell to the ground to intercept, but they still leaked the football to their own goal.

Lacazette also seemed to be under-prepared. He didn't expect the ball to be delivered to his feet. After catching the ball in a hurry, he poked it casually, which didn't test Neuer at all.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Zhang Chaoqiang's side pass was very beautiful, and the football successfully bypassed the two Bayern defenders with an arc."

"But Lacazette's shot was so bad that it looked like a pass back to Neuer."

The domestic commentator immediately sighed again and again.

Lacazette also knew that he was badly beaten, and raised his hand to apologize.

"The game started less than 20 minutes ago. Both sides created good opportunities, but neither played a threat."

"Overall, the game shouldn't be dull."

The neutral commentary hopes that the two sides can play a wonderful game.

※※※

On the pitch, Bayern continued to control the ball.

The ball possession rate of the two sides is about [-]-[-], and the home team Lyon only has [-]% of the ball.

This data is about the same as the first round.

But after all, there is a home bonus, and Lyon's counterattack threat is sharper than in the first round.

In the 31st minute, Lyon regained the ball again. Jordan Ferry received the ball in the middle circle, kicked it directly, and sent the ball to the left front, behind Bayern's defense.

"Super Zhang!! Super fast horse coming!!"

Bayern captain Lahm immediately turned back to chase, but Zhang Chaoqiang exerted strength from the back, pedaling all the way with his feet, and quickly overtook him.

But at this time, the football was about to roll off the bottom line. Zhang Chaoqiang only overtook Lahm, but did not distance himself.

He catches up with the football, but only has a second or even half a second to handle the ball.

Zhang Chaoqiang pulled the ball with his right foot before the football went out of bounds, and pulled the ball back to the court. At the same time, he turned around and raised the toe of his right foot again to lift the ball into the air.

Rahm was right on the bottom line, and the ball was right over his head and behind him.

Zhang Chaoqiang also started again, passed by Lahm and returned to the court, successfully getting the football.

"Excellent pick! Beautiful!!"

At this moment, countless commentators exclaimed loudly.

Zhang Chaoqiang has quickly entered the penalty area, ready to look for opportunities to attack the goal.

Two Spaniards, Harvey Alonso and Harvey Martinez, came together, and other Bayern players were also paying attention to prevent Zhang Chaoqiang from hitting the goal.

Zhang Chaoqiang did not try to be brave, and poked the football through the gap between the two with his toe.

Tolisso galloped forward, stepped on the penalty area line and volleyed vigorously.

Neuer failed to make a save, and the football flew directly into Bayern's goal.

"Goooooooooal—————"

"The goal has been scored!! Tolisso volleyed and scored!! Lyon successfully equalized the score!!"

"It was a very beautiful goal. Super Zhang used his speed to overtake Lahm, stopped the ball before the ball went out of bounds, turned and picked the ball directly, evaded the Bayern captain in a very imaginative way, and then assisted Thor. Lisuo broke the door."

"It can be said that most of the credit for this goal comes from Chao Zhang's flick, and that flick was amazing!"

"Now Lyon and Bayern are back on the same starting line. The total score is 1:1. Both sides have equal opportunities."

After Tolisso scored a goal, he quickly ran to Zhang Chaoqiang and took him to the sidelines to celebrate.

On the stands of the Olympic Stadium, a huge lion pattern shines brightly under the stadium lights.

※※※

The game restarted, and the Lyon players played more confidently.

At present, the total score has been equalized, and no one has an advantage.

Then continue to hold on to the defense and don't lose the ball.

Because once a goal is conceded, it is an away goal, and Lyon has to score two goals in a row to see hope of promotion.

Under Lyon's concentrated defense, the first half of the game ended soon.

The score on the field was temporarily 1:0, and the total score of the two rounds was tied at 1:1.

During the intermission, Fournier continued to arrange the team's defense, emphasizing not to lose the ball.

Especially in the second half, Guardiola is likely to replace Polish center Lewandowski.

Although Lewandowski's performance in the first round was mediocre, he is a super center after all, and he scored 40 goals this season.

Especially at the beginning of the season, he also made a crazy famous scene of scoring five goals in 9 minutes in the Bundesliga.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Bayern did not make substitutions and adjustments immediately.

The game was deadlocked until the 65th minute, and the score remained unchanged. Guardiola finally let Lewandowski play and replaced Thomas Muller.

Once on the pitch, the Pole headed in a tactical free-kick, forcing Anthony Lopez to make a flying save.

"Maybe Guardiola should let Robert play earlier, Bayern needs an away goal now, instead of continuing to be in such a stalemate with Lyon." The German commentary believes that Guardiola's substitution response is too slow.

After Lewandowski played, Bayern's offense was indeed more threatening.

But Lyon also quickly made substitutions, allowing Spanish midfielder Daddle to play, replacing Lacazette, who was in a mediocre state in this game.

Lyon's formation changed to a 4321 formation, with Gonarones, Jordan Ferry, and Tolisso playing three midfielders, Valbuena and Daddle double midfielders, and Zhang Chaoqiang as a single arrow in front.

This is also the formation attempt that Lyon made in the pre-match preparations. Once the home team successfully equalizes the score, then try to drag it in the direction of the penalty shootout.

Lyon has also practiced penalty shootouts.

So with the efforts of the Lyon generals, everyone withstood the pressure and tried their best to keep the goal.

45 minutes of the second half passed, and 3 minutes of stoppage time also passed, and the score on the field remained unchanged.

Dutch referee Kupes blew the whistle for the end of regular time, and the two sides took a break, waiting for the arrival of overtime.

"Lyon performed quite tenaciously. They successfully defeated Bayern 10:1 in 0 minutes at home, tying the total score to 1:1. At present, the two teams are about to start overtime."

"If neither side scores anything in three or 10 minutes of extra time, the two teams will decide the outcome with a penalty shootout."

Before the start of overtime, commentators from various countries praised Lyon's overall performance.

It is indeed tenacious enough to fight Bayern to overtime.
