Lyon coach Claude Pierre expressed confidence in the game.

That's not just verbal confidence.

Lyon has done a lot of preparations for the game, just like Claude Pierre said, they started preparing very early, and Lyon's coaching staff also specially studied Real Madrid and found out what Real Madrid's weaknesses are.

This is not difficult.

Real Madrid's head coach Pellegrini is a coach who emphasizes the team-based cooperation style, but until now, Real Madrid's victory is mostly based on the individual performance of the stars.

Whether it is Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo, Higuain, Guti, or even Diyala, who acts as a midfielder, most of the goals are achieved by personal performance and have little to do with the overall cooperation.

Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo has become a symbol of Real Madrid. They led Real Madrid with their outstanding performance, but the key to the problem is that they did not allow Real Madrid to form a whole.

This tactical style works in La Liga, but it may not work when encountering top giants who are good at cooperating in the Champions League.

Lyon is such a team.

Claude Pierre's tactical response is also very clear, which is to shrink the defense to reduce the space for stars such as Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo to play in their own personal performance. No matter how strong the star's personal ability is, it cannot change the size of the court. As long as the defense line is shrinking, it can make effective defense. It depends solely on personal ability rather than cooperation. It is difficult to break through the defense line.

On the offensive side, Lyon’s idea is to use a quick counterattack.

"Real Madrid will definitely try to control the midfield, but their defense is not strong. As long as we make a beautiful counterattack, we will definitely score!"

This is what Claude Pierre said to the players.

Lyon is also very confident.

———

When Claude Pierre delivered a high-spirited speech, Real Madrid players had already assembled and flew to Lyon in a turn.

Madrid is not far from Lyon, it only takes more than an hour.

The time on the plane is still very difficult. Many players need to close their eyes and rest, or do other things about their own things. Some players chat with him in front and back rows. Most of them talk about gossip, which has nothing to do with the upcoming game.

This is also a way to reduce stress.

When you talk about the competition at other times, you will feel a sense of urgency that the competition is coming, and you may be nervous when thinking about the competition for a long time.

There are many topics within Real Madrid. Some people are starting to look forward to what to do in June. It is really difficult to endure in the middle of the season. Some people are talking about gossip. Which cover girl is the most beautiful under the ‘select’, and some are discussing gossip about teammates.

A while ago, C-Ronaldo's gossip was very popular, and many people still like to talk. Of course, they would not talk near C-Ronaldo, but just talked in a low voice, and occasionally a smile would come from.

c-Ronaldo felt attacked from all sides, and when he heard the laughter, he couldn't help but look back. He immediately pretended to have done nothing, as if he was afraid that his teammates would talk about him, and worried that others would see something strange.

He was very depressed.

Fortunately, his teammates around him were not talking about him. Kaka was talking about his sister Selena, who was about to come to Madrid from Brazil.

"I'm sure she likes you." Kaka said to Zhen Shaolong, "When she and she called you several times, did you have any correspondence with her?"

"I know her Twitter, but I don't follow her, so the trouble is too big."

Zhen Shaolong explained.

Kaka knows it.

Twitter is a public platform. Others can see the following content. Zhen Shaolong followed Selena. Selena's Twitter will not be at ease. There will definitely be a large group of boring people who will explore who Selena is. She will be exposed in the public eye.

Kaka doesn't want her family to appear in the public eye, as that will greatly affect her life.

The next topic was controlled by Diyala.

Diyala sat in the front aisle and said loudly, "I must score a goal tomorrow's game, and I have the chance to help me."

"Why?"

Everyone else looked over.

Diyala said, "My girlfriend will come to support me. She said I can score a goal and I will reward me."

"What reward? Can you share it? If I pass the ball to you, will I give it half of it?"

Granero leaned over and said something, which made the others burst into laughter. He touched the back of his head and was a little confused. Kaka still hugged his stomach and explained, "That's the reward from Ras' girlfriend, do you want it too?"

“…”

Granero blushed and seemed to understand a little.

Diara looked over with fierce eyes and felt that she should pay attention to Granero. Maybe this guy is interested in his girlfriend?

While the few people were joking, the topic finally came to the competition.

Kaka asked Zhen Shaolong, "Do you have confidence? I mean the goal in the game."

When Zhen Shaolong was hesitating about how to answer, the system prompt suddenly rang-

"Tip: There is a new system task trigger.

Lyon head coach Claude Pierre believes that shrinking the defense line can effectively limit your performance. You need to prove it with performance in the game that his restrictive means are of no use.

Mission goal: Scoring three or more goals in the match against Lyon.

(During the mission, you will get a special effect of "Angry Killing".

Every time an opponent completes a shot, he will accumulate twenty points and accumulate points to one hundred. You can use the Activation of the "Angry Kill" effect.

If you touch the ball in the penalty area, the football will have a must-try effect.)

Mission reward: Improve the appearance evaluation a little.”

Zhen Shaolong listened to the system prompts blankly, as if he was still thinking. Then he raised his head with confidence and said, "I am very confident. I think I can score three goals!"

"sharp!"

"It's still Zhen Li! There are three goals in one say!"

"I trust you!"

“The hat trick is really good!”

"It seems that there is no need to worry about the game. I'm a little worried about Lyon's goal!"

Teammates gave thumbs up one after another, even Kaka was no exception. The reason why they were so confident was because of Zhen Shaolong's previous performance. If someone said he wanted to score three goals, they ignored it at all. They felt that the other party was bragging, but Zhen Shaolong said it was different. They felt that there was hope for it and immediately relaxed a lot, and felt that the pressure on the competition had decreased.

c-Ronaldo sat next to him and watched, unable to help but envy Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong said that when he scored three goals, he also gave a thumbs up. He hoped that one day he would also get the recognition of his teammates, saying that he would get the confidence of his teammates if he could score the goal.

It is impossible now.

Not to mention three goals, even if one goal is completed, the teammates just listen to it, as if they are joking, because everyone knows that whether they can score depends on temporary performance, rather than just a mouth before the game.

This is the difference.

The reputation of Zhen Shaolong's team has reached a height that he can only look up to.

———

Zhen Shaolong's words made Real Madrid's internal fighting spirit high.

This made Pellegrini a little worried.

Florentino has always hoped that Zhen Shaolong will reduce his appearance, with the goal of reducing the influence of Zhen Shaolong's team and reducing the impact of his departure on Real Madrid's performance.

This is very important.

The core players of any team are very important, just like Bayern Munich. After their core Barack left, the powerful Bayern fell into decline for a while, and even won only fourth place in the league in the second year, and did not even get the qualification to participate in the Champions League.

Barcelona's core was Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho's departure had little impact on Barcelona because they found a qualified replacement - Messi.

Does Real Madrid have a replacement for Zhen Shaolong?

Answer: No.

The whole world cannot find a player with the strength to replace Zhen Shaolong. Zhen Shaolong has firmly established his core position and has a huge influence in the team. If he can give confidence to his teammates in the game, his departure will definitely have a huge impact on Real Madrid. The specific impact will be something the club must consider.

Pellegrini also understands Florentino's idea, but he is just the team's head coach. After he broke up with Florentino completely, he is destined to leave the season at the end. Since he will definitely leave Real Madrid, what's the use of thinking so much?

"I don't need to worry about the future Real Madrid!" Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief. He found that it would be easier to leave, otherwise he would have to consider it for next season and might reach an agreement with Florentino in some aspects.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Real Madrid arrived in Lyon.

The sun comes out earlier in Lyon, which means night falls earlier.

Real Madrid and his group set off at around 2 o'clock. When they arrived at the booked hotel, the sky was already dimming. The players went to the hotel room to rest, and soon they went to the restaurant to have dinner together.

After dinner, there is a tactical class before the game.

Pellegrini analyzed Lyon again, asking the players to remember what to do on the court, and the time is about the rest and adjustment.

Lyon's reception was generous and he arranged for Real Madrid's morning training in the competition venue - Olympic Park Stadium, which made Real Madrid feel good.

In fact.

In every important away game, few home teams will provide the game venue for training, because familiarity with the game venue is originally one of the advantages of the home team.

French media also promoted this, "Lyon is not afraid of Real Madrid, opens the Olympic Stadium and provides adaptive training for Real Madrid."

Of course.

The Lyon Club also plays well, and they have open permissions to the stadium.
