Chapter 139 Iron Blood Defense
On April 4, in the 23th round of Ligue 35, Lyon challenged the relegation team Toulouse away.

The semi-finals of the Champions League will begin soon, and Lyon will not spend too much thought on a team like Toulouse.

In the end, relying on the goals of Fekir, Gazal and Tolisso, Lyon won the away game 3:2.

Although this game is not important, it is still good to win a game before the semi-finals of the Champions League.

On the contrary, Paris has lost points in this round.

It may be that the lack of Lyon's pursuit made them relax, and they drew with Bordeaux 1:1 away.

In this case, Lyon successfully recovered the two-point difference.

Paris currently has 87 points and Lyon has 83 points.

With three rounds left in Ligue [-], Paris leads Lyon by four points, which is also a huge lead.

Lyon players no longer care about the Ligue [-]. The whole team is ready to go to Spain.

According to the Champions League semi-final schedule, Lyon first away and then host.

Before departure, the Lyon team also received encouragement from the female football players.

"Come on, let's go to Milan together!"

The Lyon men's football team can only be regarded as a strong team in the entire European football world.

But the Lyon women's football team is a standard European top giants. The team is well run, the treatment is good, the stadium facilities are complete, and they are very competitive.

Most female footballers are happy to play in Lyon women's football, just like male footballers are willing to play in Real Madrid and Barcelona.

At present, the Lyon women's football team is almost all the key players of the women's national teams of various countries.

England's main midfielder, the Netherlands and Norway's main striker, and Japan's main defender, these people all play for the Lyon women's football team.

In terms of team performance, the Lyon women's football team has completed eight consecutive Ligue [-] women's football championships, and it seems that they will continue to win consecutive championships.

You must know that the French Women's Football League was officially established in 2008.

In other words, since the establishment of the Ligue [-] Women's Football League, Lyon has always won the championship.

At the same time, in the women's UEFA Champions League, the Lyon women's football team also reached the finals for four consecutive years and won the championship twice.

However, in the last two seasons, the Lyon women's football team's performance in the Champions League has not been ideal.

But this season, they are making a comeback.

The Norwegian striker Ada Hegberg, who is currently the core of the Lyon women's football team, has performed quite fiercely in Ligue [-] and the Champions League this season.

20 goals have been scored in 30 rounds of Ligue [-], helping Lyon win the Ligue [-] championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

He scored 6 goals in 10 games in the Champions League and led Lyon to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The opponent in the semi-finals is the Paris women's football team, the second in Ligue [-], so there should be no problem for Lyon to advance to the final.

Lyon are the only team in Europe to have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with both men's and women's football this season.

If they can all advance smoothly, then they can go to Milan, Italy to participate in the Champions League final together.

The UEFA Champions League finals of men's and women's football are generally held at the same venue, but the time will be staggered by a few days.

By the way, in the top 9 of the women's football Champions League this season, the Lyon women's football met the Atletico Madrid women's football team. In the end, Lyon won 1:[-] in the two rounds and advanced. Ada Hegberg scored twice at home and away.

It is precisely because of this that Aulas arranged for female football players to speak out on the team's official media to encourage them, hoping to win a lot of money.

But men's football is not as good as women's football.

The reason why Lyon women's football is competitive is because the team management attaches great importance to it and has always invested.

However, many teams in Europe do not have women's football at all. Even if they do, they are laissez-faire and basically don't bother to manage them.

That's the case with Atletico Madrid.

Their women's football and men's football are not at the same level at all.

※※※

On April 4th, the first round of the Champions League semi-final, Lyon's away game against Atletico Madrid came.

The Calderón Stadium was full of seats, and the three colors of red, white and blue decorated the scene with a warm atmosphere.

Atletico Madrid fans played a huge big ear cup pattern, and even Spanish King Felipe came to the scene to cheer for Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has reached the Champions League final twice in history, but it is a pity to lose both.

The first time was in the 70s, when I met Bayern Munich in the final, I fought hard to draw 120:1 with Bayern in 1 minutes. :0 fiasco.

The second time was the UEFA Champions League in the 13/14 season two years ago. In the final, they had been leading Real Madrid but were tied in stoppage time. In the end, they lost to overtime and lost the championship.

Now, after two years, Atletico Madrid has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again, and met Lyon, a relatively easy opponent. Atletico Madrid fans are looking forward to re-entering the finals and truly fulfilling the Champions League dream.

The game officially started, and Lyon quickly felt the iron-blooded defense of the Sheets.

He fights fiercely and fights for every ball. From forward to defender, he has very good defensive awareness and enthusiasm.

It has to be said that under the training of Simeone, the current Atletico Madrid team is quite good in terms of mental attributes and overall strength.

Before the game, Fournier praised Atletico Madrid as a team at the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which is really similar.

On the court, Zhang Chaoqiang must deal with it quickly every time he takes the ball, otherwise he will be surrounded in a short while.

Fortunately, Lyon did not have high requirements for this game, and did not think about winning away.

If you can hold a 0:0 away game, it will be a perfect score.

In order to deal with Atletico Madrid, Lyon's coaching staff copied Eindhoven's tactics against Atletico Madrid in the top [-] of the Champions League, and put on a big iron bucket.

In the Champions League round of 0, Eindhoven was able to draw 0:[-] with Atletico Madrid in both home and away games, and finally forced the opponent to fight with themselves in a penalty shootout, relying on defensive tactics.

The two rounds of the home and away games added up to a full 210 minutes, and the number of shots taken by PSV was barely in double figures, and more than half of them were made up of shots.

As for hitting within the range of the door frame, there was only one pitiful one.

But even so, they still defended to the penalty shootout and almost overturned Atletico Madrid.

So Lyon should learn from it.

Of course, the overall state of Atletico Madrid's strikers in the Champions League round of [-] was not good. Griezmann and Torres both wasted excellent opportunities, which was also an important reason for affecting the game.

And now they've all recovered.

Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona 3:2 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It was Griezmann and Torres, the pair of Atletico Madrid, who scored three goals.

But in terms of personal ability, Lyon players must be stronger than Eindhoven.

So Fournier believes that Lyon should be able to achieve good results if they continue to use the same tactics.

So Lyon put up a big iron bucket in the away game, trying to be more patient with Atletico Madrid.

If Atletico Madrid has the intention to underestimate the enemy and think that Lyon is not strong enough to be bullied, it is likely to give it a chance.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid has always been very patient and has been solidly defending, especially taking special care of Zhang Chaoqiang.

This led to a dull game, with few opportunities for both sides.

Until the 75th minute of the second half, Griezmann passed through the middle of Tolisso, Gonarones and Umtiti with a flexible croquette, broke into the Lyon penalty area strongly, and sent the ball to the lower left of the goal with a kick. horn.

Relying on the performance of the leading star, Atletico Madrid finally broke the deadlock.

Then the game quickly entered 80 minutes, and Zhang Chaoqiang's [Mr. Key] was triggered.

But Atletico Madrid's marking on him was too tight. It was not until the stoppage time period that he took a cold shot and shot a heavy shot, but he was also rejected by the crossbar.

In this way, Lyon lost 0:1 to Atletico Madrid in the away game and suffered a defeat in the first round.

"Lyon lost 0:1 away in the first leg again, the same as when they faced Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League."

"I believe Lyon will still be able to make a comeback and advance after returning to the home court in the second round."

After all, the quarter-finals of the Champions League overturned Bayern, so the commentators of all countries believe that Lyon has the ability to return to the home court to make a comeback.
