Extraordinary coach

The second half begins.

Once the game resumed, both sides noticed that the other side had made some adjustments.

The Lyon team also made adjustments, but their adjustments were not as strong as the Nice team. The 3511 formation is still maintained, but a wide range of transfers are added and a defender is moved forward to increase offensive investment.

These adjustments made by Lyon should be said to have strengthened the firepower in response to Nice's situation in the first half.

Just after the game started, Lyon found that their adjustments suddenly exposed greater weaknesses due to Nice's change of formation.

According to the situation in the first half, they were suppressing the Nice team. It was obviously a waste for three central defenders to face one Balotelli. But this change of formation on both sides immediately caused Lyon's defense to become two against two. This is simply taking the initiative to open your thighs.

"They played Dong Fangzhuo. This is a change of formation. They changed to 442." Seeing Dong Fangzhuo replace Walter on the field, Bruno Genesio immediately discovered the problem.

"No, the defender must come back."

Bruno Genesio immediately came to the sidelines and asked the defender, who had been instructed to move forward to join the attack, to step back.

"442? Haha. You actually want to use the tactics you used against Krasnodar to deal with us. You're overthinking it." After letting the defender retreat to his original position, Bruno Genesio once again showed a relaxed expression.

"If Salah is allowed to move forward, I really have to change my formation. With Dong Fangzhuo, I can restrain you with my original tactics." Using three central defenders against two forwards would be more effective in other situations. adventure. But one of the forwards is Dong Fangzhuo, and Bruno Genesio feels that he is a sure shot.

Using two defenders to flank Balotelli and another defender to deal with Dong Fangzhuo is completely enough in his opinion. If Salah moves forward, he will have to change to a back four to deal with it.

Just like Bruno Genesio thought, Sun Yi can actually use Salah to partner Balotelli. This not only eliminates the need for substitutions, but also adds more offensive firepower.

It was only Sun Yi's consideration of the need for a ball handler and the initiator of "Mu-style Counterattack" that allowed Salah to stay in the center line.

The second half of the game continued with the head coaches of both sides having their own thoughts.

After playing for a while, Bruno Genesio discovered that Sun Yi was not using a midfield diamond position of 442, but a parallel position of 442.

This formation is more popular among British teams. And most of them use a combination of two forwards, one high and one fast. The main tactic is long passes and lobs.

"Long pass and lob. This is using the British stuff. Sure enough, he is a coach from England. He likes to use this rough and direct tactics." Bruno Genesio also soon discovered the Nice team. tactical intention.

Although Bruno Genesio doesn't agree with the long pass style of play, now he has to face a problem that makes him hesitant.

Sun Yi's tactic of using long passes to hit the ball was indeed in line with Lyon's tactics today. Not only did he directly pass through Lyon's strongest midfield, but he also brought out the relatively strong offensive strength of Nice's forward line.

These changes have made the situation on the field become more stalemate. Lyon still has the advantage in possession of the ball, but Nice's counterattacks have increased a lot.

In this way, the outcome of this game will depend on which of the two sides attacks more efficiently.

Attack hard. Bruno Genesio hesitated. In his opinion, this is not safe. The chances of Lyon being scored increased. But he was unwilling to give up his current advantage of taking the initiative.

In this case, Bruno Genesio finally chose to take a look at the situation before the situation worsened.

The game on the field is going on non-stop. As the game progressed, the Nice team became more and more accustomed to the tactic of long passes and lobs. Subsequently, their offensive threat gradually emerged.

Balotelli and Dong Fangzhuo are both orthodox centers, but they are both very fast forwards. This makes them very powerful when playing long passes and lob tactics.

Nice kicked a long pass from the backcourt, and the two men rushed up with a roar. Their speed and power made it very difficult for Lyon's three central defenders to defend.

After discovering that these two men were very threatening when rushing forward, the players in Nice's backcourt became even more enthusiastic about long passes.

When the game reached about 60 minutes, Dong Fangzhuo used his speed to rush outside the Lyon penalty area and hit an volley shot first.

Unfortunately, an anti-aircraft shot missed the goal.

"Hey! If only Xiaodong had Balotelli's shooting skills." Sun Yi couldn't help feeling a pity. If Balotelli had a chance to score this goal, he would most likely have scored.

"No, we have to change the formation. Let the defenders warm up immediately." After seeing Dong Fangzhuo's goal, Bruno Genesio finally couldn't sit still. He has realized that three central defenders are not safe.

Dong Fangzhuo's shot didn't even hit the edge of the goal, but who can guarantee that it won't hit it next time? This is really too dangerous.

"I didn't expect that Dong's threat was so much greater than I thought." Bruno Genesio found Dong Fangzhuo quite surprising.

"But as long as we change to a back four, it should be fine," Bruno Genesio muttered thoughtfully. "You use 442, so I'll use 442 too, let's see whose team is better."

Bruno Genesio is really slick. He just wants to compete with Sun Yi for the hard power of the two teams. With the same formation, relying on stronger strength, Lyon will naturally have more opportunities.

With Lyon's forward line not losing to Nice, coupled with a stronger midfielder and backfield, Bruno Genesio has reason to believe that Lyon's chances of winning will be higher.

I have to say, his move is ruthless!

If he really implements it, Lyon will be more likely to win in the end. Unless, Nice has better luck.

However, I don’t know if the Nice team really has better luck.

When Lyon's defenders finished warming up and stood on the sidelines, waiting for dead ball opportunities to come on, Nice got another good chance.

The long pass kicked by Salah directly hit the back of the Lyon defenders, and Dong Fangzhuo once again beat the defenders to the landing point of the football.

Dong Fangzhuo stumbled and stopped the ball with his chest, and then, under the interference of the defender, forced a volley ball again.

This time he was lucky and got it right. But because the shot was too straight, the A-level goalkeeper blocked it with both arms.

However, the bounced ball was rushed into the goal by Balot using a sliding tackle.

GOAL!!!

1:0.

Nice takes the lead!
