Chapter 265 Leon's Unwillingness

The joke on April Fool's Day is that Juventus won the championship again!

A lot of Italians hoped this was an April Fool's joke, but sadly it's true.Serie A has become the monopoly of Juventus, which makes the Italian Football Association a little restless.

If other teams can take turns being champions with Juventus, at least everyone can grow together.Maybe the glory of Serie A will come soon.But Juventus has shown too much strength, so that other teams have been playing the role of foil, which makes Italian football very anxious, so that some of Juventus's transfer clauses are restricted or increased requirements, reducing the possibility of Juventus relying on the introduction of high-quality players.

But this is definitely a palliative, not a permanent cure.The Italian Football Association is currently considering restrictive measures against Juventus, and we cannot see Juventus win the championship again next season!If so, it will be a disgrace to Serie A.

Put aside the issue of the Football Association and Juventus for now.

Wu Haowen is now putting all his energy into the next game.Champions League quarter-final opponent Lyon.

Lyon ranks fourth in Ligue 4 this season, 18 points behind Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the list.Lyon's board has always taken the Champions League very seriously, putting a lot of pressure on coach Luis Garcia.

They know what role their team plays in the Champions League, but they are not satisfied with the status quo and always want to make a breakthrough.The current record of Ligue [-] winning the Champions League has been a long, long time ago, and there is only one Marseille.

Lyon hopes that he can leave his name on this record, and for this reason the board of directors is also making great moves in the transfer market.But the Champions League is not so easy to win. After all, if you try your best to win the Champions League, you will lose the league.If you go all out in the league, the Champions League is also easy to lose.

Therefore, every Champions League champion has a strong substitute lineup.

Lyon has already raised the white flag in the battle for the Ligue 6 championship. It has been a long time since their history of [-] consecutive Ligue [-] championships.Today's Ligue [-] is already the world of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, and what I play is to try my best to qualify for the Champions League.

When the result of the draw was Juventus, coach Garcia felt a sense of loss.He understands his burden and the fate of his team.

Although Juventus has not won the championship for a long time, it has always been a strong contender for the championship, and even reached the semi-finals last season.And I was only in the top 16 last season.

Garcia understood his situation, and also understood the tasks and goals of his team.So in the game against Juventus, the first thing he did was to defend with all his strength, trying to defend first and then score.Ligue [-] compatriot Marseille's tactics against Juventus in the group stage can be used for reference.

This tactic is also very reliable, at least Juventus' firepower this season is very fierce.It was evident in the games against Barcelona and Crystal Palace.

On April 4, at the Olympic Park Stadium in Lyon, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals officially started.

Sure enough, Juventus launched an attack from the first moment, and the style of play was very fierce, which almost made Lyon's players lose the chain and couldn't hold on.

Fortunately, in the last few games, defensive tactics have been applied to them. After defending the previous rounds, the Lyon team gradually gained a firm foothold. With the advantage of the home court, they gradually drew with Juventus. At least the situation will not be very passive.

Wu Haowen has long understood Lyon's tactics and strategies.However, the coach's tactics do not mean that they can be broken if they want to. They can only deal with such a situation by relying on the overall cooperation to mobilize the players' multi-point blooming.

The game was played very dull, which made many fans a little drowsy.

The turning point of the game came towards the end of the second half.

In the 79th minute of the game, Juventus took a left corner kick.Dybala took a look at the position of his teammates in the penalty area, and then kicked the ball with a big foot.

The ball flew from the penalty area on the left to the middle of the goal. At this time, Clement Lenglet in the Lyon team jumped up and pushed the ball first, trying to push the ball out of the penalty area.

It's a pity that his prediction was a little bit off, and he took off a bit late, so that the ball that was headed out did not hit the front court as he intended, but rubbed his head and deviated to the right.

At this time, the right side is in the middle of the goal, and Arthur of Juventus is running quickly in the direction of the ball.

Danger!

It's too late to say it!Artur jumped up and down, then stretched his left foot forward, pushing the ball into the middle of the goal with additional strength.The ball went into the net before Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lope could make a save.

In the end, with Artur's only goal, Juventus beat Lyon 1-0 away.

This made coach Garcia very depressed and unwilling.If he draws or even leads Juventus at home according to his plan, the away game will continue to use the bus defensive tactics to kill Juventus.

But there is always a deviation between reality and ideal.

In the days that followed, pressure from the board of directors, coupled with Garcia's own unwillingness, brought some new changes to Lyon.The focus of tactical training has become Total Attack and Total Defense.

Because there is only one chance for the second round, you must score, and you must score more goals than Juventus to have a chance to advance, otherwise there will be no game.No matter how good the bus is, it is meaningless, and the offense has become the only hope for Lyon to advance.

On April 4, after Juventus defeated Verona 12:2 in Serie A, they ushered in the challenge of Lyon at home.

This game is indeed much more interesting than the first round.

In the 15th minute of the game, Juventus took a corner kick on the right.

Dybala hoisted the ball into the direction of the far post of the penalty area on the left. The teenager Keane threw off the defender, jumped high on the sideline of the small penalty area on the left, and scored with a header.He pushed the ball towards the right goal. Although the goalkeeper Lopp touched the ball but failed to change the direction of the ball, the ball went into the net.

Juventus lead Lyon 1:0.

The early lead gave Juventus more control over the initiative.

The Lyon head coach Garcia couldn't sit still. He kept gesturing to the assistant coach on the tactical board, and then conveyed his new tactical intentions to the players on the sidelines, hoping that the Lyon boys would make changes. Otherwise, they would have to leave the stage temporarily and come back next season.

But he still has a lot of unwillingness!

Lyon's tactical change was not immediately reflected.But the change brought to the field is that the players did not give up the game, but became more hardworking and fierce.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Lyon's players had received 4 yellow cards.This made Wu Haowen a little worried for them in his heart.

But the efforts of Lyon's players were worth it, because they quickly equalized the score.

During stoppage time in the first half, goalkeeper Lopp took the ball with a big kick.

Memphis Depay received the ball in the midfield and passed it to the right side for teammate Oyar immediately.Aouar picked up the ball and kicked it to his teammate Sira in front.

Sira received the ball near the sideline of the penalty area, avoided the middle position, ran to the right, and then when the goalkeeper Szczesny ran out to block it, Sira made a shot and picked the ball into the left goal.

Lyon pulled a goal back tenaciously.

Coach Garcia waved his fist excitedly, venting his long suppressed emotions.Many fans believe that Lyon will make a breakthrough.But Wu Haowen's Juventus stepped up their defense in the second half and used the last goal to declare Lyon's defeat.

In the 67th minute, Juventus took a right corner kick.

Dybala kicked into the penalty area, and Keane from the left penalty area headed the ball to the middle of the right goal.At this time, Bernardeschi in front of the goal did not shoot immediately after taking the ball, because he knew that he was surrounded at this time, so he calmly passed the ball to the left.

In the end, Juventus defeated Lyon 2:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3:1.The opponent in the semi-finals will be the Premier League giants Manchester United.
