Chapter 93 Triple Crown Vs Triple Crown

Geographically speaking, Georgia on the Black Sea coast is an Asian country.

But they were annexed by Tsarist Russia as early as the nineteenth century, and later became a member of the Red Empire.

Even the famous Stalin was born in Georgia.

Now Georgia is also a member of the European Union, and it is a standard European country.

The 2015 UEFA Super Cup was held in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.

The earliest European Super Cup was actually a home and away two-round system. It was changed to a single game to determine the outcome in 1998, and it was held at the Stade Louis II in Monaco for a long time.

However, starting in 2013, UEFA changed the venue of the European Super Cup to the member countries with relatively weak European football levels to take turns to promote football events.

So this year's UEFA Super Cup is Georgia's turn.

Both Lyon and Barcelona arrived in Tbilisi the afternoon before the game, but Lyon's plane was earlier.

When they came out of the airport, everyone heard the noise outside.

"It seems that we are still very popular..." Umtiti raised his head and wiped his hair with a sullen expression on his face.

This guy went to Paris yesterday to have his hair styled, which is said to be expensive.

Just show your face when you play Barcelona in the European Super Cup.

In fact, with his curly hair, it is impossible to see where the money has been spent.

When they actually walked out of the airport, the entire Lyon team realized that almost all the people picking up the plane outside were Barcelona fans.

Among the bright red and blue vertical shirts, only a small group of Lyon fans in white jerseys were squeezed on the edge.

Compared with the famous Barcelona, ​​Lyon players are generally unknown.

What Barcelona fans saw was the Lyon team, all with disappointed expressions.

Everyone in Lyon felt slighted.

Because the other party didn't even boo or curse, and didn't pay attention to Leon at all.

Fournier seized this opportunity very well and said seriously after the whole team got on the bus.

"You have all seen that in the eyes of Barcelona fans, we are a transparent team and cannot attract their attention at all."

"So what are we supposed to do? We're supposed to beat them on the court and ravage them."

"Let them know who we are!!"

Facing a top giant like Barcelona, ​​there is no need to transfer the head coach. Everyone wants to show the best performance.

But at the same time, because the other party's reputation is too high, everyone is a little nervous.

Now through this preaching, the Lyon players have successfully suppressed their nervousness, leaving only excitement.

8月11日，格鲁吉亚当地时间晚上8点45分，2015年欧洲超级杯在格鲁吉亚博利斯国家球场正式打响。

"This game is very important for Barcelona. This is the beginning of their pursuit of the six championships of the year."

"If you beat Lyon tonight to win the UEFA Super Cup, beat Athletic Bilbao to win the Spanish Super Cup next week, and win the Club World Cup at the end of the year, then Barcelona will replicate the miracle of 2009 and become the six-time winner of the year. !"

"In addition, if they win the championship tonight, Barcelona will also tie AC Milan's record of five championships and become the team with the most championships in the UEFA Super Cup."

The Spanish commentator has a lot of milk and is crazy about breastfeeding the Barcelona players.

The French commentator cheered for Lyon.

"Lyon are the second French team to participate in the UEFA Super Cup since Paris Saint-Germain in 1996."

"Although Barcelona is the winner of the Triple Crown, Lyon also won three championships this year, which can also be regarded as a Triple Crown team, so this is a final of the Triple Crown against the Triple Crown."

"If Lyon can win the championship smoothly, they will not only win the fourth championship of the year, but also become the first French team to win the UEFA Super Cup."

Only three teams in Ligue [-] have qualified for the UEFA Super Cup in history.

In 1993, Marseille could have become the first team to participate in the UEFA Champions League.

However, they were deprived of the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup qualifications due to the match-fixing case, and AC Milan, the runner-up of the UEFA Champions League, played as a replacement.

In 1996, Paris participated as the winner of the Cup Winners Cup, but was crazily educated by Juventus, the Champions League champion of the year.

1:6 in a single game, 2:9 in two rounds, it is a shame.

Now Lyon has become another team representing Ligue [-]. Facing the famous Barcelona, ​​everyone is a little guilty and worried that they will be beaten again.

The starting lineup arranged by Lyon is still 442 formation, while Barcelona is their regular 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen

Defenders: Mathieu, Pique, Mascherano, Alves;
Midfielders: Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic;
Forwards: Rafinha, Suarez, Messi.

Compared with last season's Champions League final, Barcelona's left back changed from Alba to Mathieu, and the left forward changed from Neymar to Rafinha.

Mathieu made his debut, which is considered to be aimed at Zhang Chaoqiang.

Barcelona fans can think that Lyon is a rookie, but the Barcelona coaching staff will not be so stupid, and they will definitely make preparations.

Alba is more in line with Barcelona's skills and tactics than Mathieu, but he likes to insert assists too much, so the Barcelona coaching staff arranged for a more stable Mathieu to start, so as not to be beaten by Zhang Chaoqiang.

As for Neymar's absence, it is entirely personal.

It may be that after winning the Triple Crown, he returned to Brazil to play too hard, so he missed the Super Cup due to "physical reasons".

But this is good news for Lyon.

In the UEFA Champions League knockout match last season, Neymar must have scored goals from the quarterfinals to the final, and his performance can be said to be explosive.

Now that the Brazilian is absent, Lyon only needs to deal with Messi and Suarez, which can be a little easier.

[You start stealing the day from Leo Messi, flexibility +3]

Before the start of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang stole first as a respect, and just filled up the flexibility attribute to 80 points.

The game officially started, and Barcelona created a dangerous situation almost instantly.

Lyon's defenders were all focused on Messi and Suarez, causing Rafinha to run wide.

Iniesta immediately made a straight pass to form a semi-single sword, and the scene was full of cheers.

Fortunately, Rafinha didn't live up to it and shot the ball wide with one kick.

"If it was Neymar, the Barcelona fans would already be cheering for the goal."

The Spanish commentator is still regretting, and the situation on the court is again.

Lyon took the goal kick, and Tolisso decisively passed the ball to Zhang Chaoqiang.

Zhang Chaoqiang immediately started with the ball and began to charge forward.

The Barcelona players did not return to their positions in time after the attack. Zhang Chaoqiang just stepped on a bicycle and passed a Mathieu, and then quickly rushed to the front field along the right.

"Defense! Defense!!" Mascherano called his teammates while stepping forward to intercept.

Zhang Chaoqiang saw that his teammates did not have time to follow up, and Barcelona still had the upper hand in terms of defensive numbers.

So he quickly cut inside in front of the penalty area and immediately hit the goal with his left foot.

The football flew towards the Barcelona goal in a small arc under Zhang Chaoqiang's left foot, aiming at the upper left corner.

Countless Lyon fans have clenched their fists and are ready to cheer.

But the football was stopped by Ter Stegen before entering the goal, and he shot it out of the baseline with his palm.

The arc was good, but the ball was not fast enough, so the German goalkeeper had enough time to react.

"Only 2 minutes into the game, the two teams have created threatening opportunities. It seems that this will be a fierce game."

The neutral commentator hopes that the two teams will attack each other and score more goals.

At this time, Lyon's big man has come to the Barcelona penalty area, ready to compete for the header.

Fekir took a corner kick, and Lacazette, who was in front of the point, was completely blocked by Pique without any chance.

But Umtiti, who was at the back point, leaped high and beat Mathieu to head the goal.

This time Ter Stegen was powerless.

"The goal has been scored! Only 3 minutes into the game, Lyon took the lead to break through the Barcelona goal!"

"With a corner kick, Lyon centre-back Umtiti scored with a header!"

Umtiti rushed to the sidelines frantically, slapped his forehead while running, and spit flying with excitement.

Facing the goal of a top giant like Barcelona, ​​his hairstyle was not in vain.
