Chapter 995 Glory's Opponent

The media in Manchester are paying attention to Manchester City's opponent Lyon, and the media in Lyon are also paying attention to their opponent Manchester City.

What scares Lyon the most is naturally Rong Guang. Rong Guang has rich experience in the Champions League. As long as he participates in the Champions League, he has won the top scorer, which is enough to show his strength.

But Lyon is not completely without advantages. For them, Manchester City's recent instability may be a good opportunity.

After all, football is a team sport. If Manchester City only relies on Rongguang alone, then Lyon still has an advantage.

Lyon is no stranger to Rongguang. As early as the 2004-2005 season, the two sides had played against each other.

It was the first time for Rongguang to participate in the UEFA Champions League.

At that time, Rongguang was still at Werder Bremen. They broke into the round of [-] as the second place in the group, and their opponent in the quarter-finals was Lyon.

In the first leg, Werder Bremen played at home.

When Lyon was still dominating Ligue [-], they had just reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League last season, and their strength in the Champions League should not be underestimated.

Facing the new Champions League team Werder Bremen, everyone thinks that Lyon can at least get a draw in the away game.

The results of it?
Rongguang completed a hat-trick in that game, helping Werder Bremen beat their opponents 3-0 at home.

That was also Rongguang's first hat-trick in the history of the Champions League.

All the suspense in the two rounds of the home and away games was knocked out in one game, which is really eye-popping.

That game also allowed Lyon to see the power of Rong Guang, a newcomer to the Champions League.

In this regard, Lyon's main central defender Chris was very impressed.

Now, five years later, Chris is still Lyon's main central defender, and he also wears the captain's armband to replace his compatriot, Juninho Jr., who left the team, and became Lyon's captain.

In fact, as early as in Brazil, Chris, as Cruzeiro's main central defender, had confronted Rongguang.He knew Rongguang was very powerful in Brazil.

The encounter in the Champions League only made him more determined.

Rong Guang is a truly talented player, and the kind of talented player who can start a big career.

As a Brazilian player, Chris has seen many young talents, but the achievements of these talents are not proportional to their talents.

Glory can.

So Chris dare not underestimate the glory.

Before this game, as the captain of the team, Chris repeatedly emphasized the power of Rongguang.

Even if the game is about to start, he is still talking.

"Rong is the absolute core of Manchester City and the most threatening player. No one should take him lightly when facing him! A second of distraction may result in conceding a goal!"

Some people care about what the captain said, while others don't.

As the players walked from the locker room to the pitch, the young left-back Ali Sissoko said to his teammate Jean-Alain Boumsson: "Who doesn't know that Rong is one of the most powerful players in football today? I think the captain's repeated emphasis on this is useless except to increase our tension..."

Bumsong said: "The captain wants us to pay attention to Rong..."

Sissoko smiled: "Who doesn't value him? I simply value the duel with Rong too much!"

As he spoke, he jumped up, twisted his waist, and swayed his body, as if he was preparing for boxing.

"Don't worry, I will freeze him for this game!"

In this game, Ali Sissoko, who is Lyon's main left-back, will meet Rong Guang, who is on the right, and the two will face off.

Before the game, Lyon's coach Claude Pierre emphasized the strength of Rongguang to Sissoko, and even gave him a highlight of Rongguang's recent performance, so that he can understand this opponent.

Sissoko didn't just let the CD go home and put it on the shelf, he did research it.So he repeatedly emphasized to Captain Chris that Glory is very strong, and he thought it was a cliché.

Sissoko has his own ideas, his fighting spirit is not fake, he really has such fighting spirit and wants to defeat Rongguang.

why?
Because he realized that this is a great opportunity.

With all the eyes on him, if he could defeat Rong Guang, how much influence would it have?

Sissoko has a very urgent desire for success. This is because of an annoying incident he encountered last summer-Ally Sissoko, who was still playing for the Portuguese powerhouse Porto at the time, attracted the attention of the Serie A giants AC Milan because of his outstanding performance.

In the end, AC Milan and Porto reached an agreement on the transfer fee, and the transaction was made at 500 million euros.The transfer is a done deal.

But at this moment, something went wrong in the transfer medical examination. The results of AC Milan's medical examination suggest that Sissoko has a problem with his teeth, which may cause problems such as spinal cord and muscles.

In the end, negotiations between the two parties broke down, and Sissoko did not go to AC Milan, and then he came to Lyon.

Lyon's head coach Pierre put a lot of emphasis on him, using him to fill the vacancy left by left-back Grosso's departure, and he became the starter for Lyon's left-back.

Even so, it still couldn't calm the resentment and anger in Sissoko's heart.

Anger against AC Milan, anger against Galliani.

He thinks it is ridiculous to cancel the transfer just because of his teeth problems, and at the same time, this reason is simply a humiliation to himself!
Others failed transfers due to injuries to knees, muscles, ankles, etc., but it was because of their teeth?
I am a football player!
I play football!
Do you rely on your teeth to play football? !

Now all of Europe knows that I am the unlucky guy who was rejected by AC Milan because of bad teeth!
Sissoko's anger is justified, because more than one dental hospital has come to the door hoping to give Sissoko a free orthodontic operation, and the price is only for them to advertise that they have performed surgery on Ali Sissoko...

Sissoko would of course think that this was a supplementary knife from the hospital and a humiliation that came after him, so he angrily refused.

But people's ridicule and misunderstanding will not disappear.

Sissoko believes that all of this is AC Milan's fault. He wants to prove his ability in the game and tell everyone, especially AC Milan themselves, what a good player they missed!
Therefore, after coming to Lyon, Sissoko performed very hard and very well, helping Lyon to challenge last season's league champion Bordeaux.

But that's not enough, far from enough.

People's impression of him has not changed.

This made Sissoko realize that unless he made a very outstanding achievement, it wouldn't help.

At the same time, Lyon welcomed Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals, and as a left-back, he also ushered in... glory.

He immediately thought that this would be the best opportunity.

If he can freeze Rongguang in the game, let Rongguang fail to achieve an inch, and help Lyon eliminate Manchester City, then he will become famous all over the world overnight!
At that time, no one will dare to laugh at the fact that he was rejected by AC Milan because of dental problems.

He will become the favorite of all the giants, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich... let him choose!
Of course, AC Milan is definitely among these teams, but I would not choose them, let them regret it forever!Regret the loss of such an excellent left back who could have been their Maldini successor!
Thinking of this, Ali Sissoko's whole body was shaking with excitement, and he couldn't wait to play.

He will let Rongguang and the whole world see how powerful he is!

But right now, he still has no way to do this. He has to stand in the line honestly and wait for the referee to lead the players from both sides into the field.

During this waiting process, his gaze almost never left Rongguang.

If his eyes can be materialized, the glory has been pierced by Sissoko's eyes.

※※※

Rong Guang didn't care about the attention of Sissoko, because in his countless previous games, he was always watched, so he was used to being the focus of people's eyes.

It was not uncommon for someone to watch him.If he had to look back every time, his cervical spine would have already suffered from overwork...

Some of Rongguang's teammates may have seen Sissoko's gaze, but they didn't take it seriously.

The black kid looked at Rong Guang with his eyes and expression, even Rong Guang's teammates like them were used to it.

At this time, the referee and his referee team came out of the lounge together, and everyone's attention was shifted to them.

The game is about to start, it's time to get out.

Ali Sissoko finally withdrew his eyes that were almost glued to Rong Guang, and walked forward with his teammates. He straightened his chest and held his head up, looking full of confidence.

This is his home field, his turf.

My game, my turf, my rules.

He wanted Rong Guang to be deflated here.

※※※

"They're out!"

When the players from both sides came out of the channel, there was a huge burst of cheers.

Lyon fans are desperately cheering for their team.

Facing glory, they had to do this to increase their confidence.

At the same time, they also hope that such a warm home atmosphere can frighten the Manchester City players and make them play abnormally, even if it is not the whole team, but a few people who are not playing normally...

The close-up shots of the TV broadcast scanned every player's face, and Rong Guang's face was frozen for the most time.

After two years, returning to the Champions League knockout round, what kind of performance can he show?

As the captain, Rong Guang and Chris ran into each other when shaking hands before the match.

Lyon's captain Chris completed a series of procedures such as shaking hands, exchanging team flags, and picking sides with a serious expression and honor.

After seeing it from a distance, Ali Sissoko said to himself: "It's not okay to be too nervous!"
