Is the first defeat of the season coming?

In the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season, Manchester City faced Lyon at the City Stadium. The game has progressed to the 8th minute. The fourth referee Gio Peretti raised a sign to indicate 4 minutes of stoppage time.

The score on the field is 0:2, with the home team in front and the visiting team in behind.

A light shower in Manchester in September is like a little love song played by the saxophone. It is more suitable for two men and women who are worried about having an affair in the secret room, but it does not match well with the football match that everyone is looking forward to.

In the rain, Guardiola kept making vulgar roars towards the field, with water dripping from his bald head. He was no longer as high-spirited as yesterday when he boasted and was exposed.

Lyon came with bad intentions. I thought they would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect them to be so difficult.

In 2002, he played ten games and won a record-breaking seven consecutive championships in the five major leagues. It's easy to talk about this kind of thing, just like Lao Gua writes a column. After all, the record for consecutive European championships is 14 teams held by Skonto (Latvia) and Lincoln (Gibraltar).

Moreover, Bayern has now tied the record of seven consecutive games and will create eight consecutive games this year without any accident. The same is true for Juventus in Serie A.

But precisely because the world clearly knows what kind of existence Bayern and Juventus are in Germany and Italy, they are increasingly admiring Lyon's magical history.

Seven consecutive championships, spanning four coaches: Santini, Le Guan, Houllier and Perrin, thus establishing the status of the first youth training treasure house in Ligue 1.

However, there was no success. Since the 2nd victory, Lyon had no choice but to give up the Ligue 1 world, and then watched Paris Saint-Germain start to dominate France that once belonged to Lyon five years ago.

Frankly speaking, there are no big names in Lyon now, and there are no big names in the second tier. The most valuable player in the team is Dutch forward Memphis Depay. He came from PSV and spent time at Manchester United. This year, Depay's transfer price is 19 million.

Even Lyon's coach Bruno Genesio is almost unknown in football.

The 52-year-old Genesio was a common bench player when he played football. After retiring at the age of 30, he started to work as a coach and continued to mess around.

2 Lyon serves as a scout and echelon coach, and he has caught up with the club's seventh consecutive championship.

In 2011, Remi Garde took over as Marion coach and invited Genesio to the first team as an assistant coach. Spring has gone and autumn has come and gone. At the end of 2015, Hubert Fournier, who had brought Lyon into an even worse situation, was dismissed, and Genesio finally came to the forefront.

Perhaps because of his long-term experience as an echelon coach and scout, Genesio is very good at discovering young players. Lyon, one of the famous black clubs in Europe, also values ​​this specialty of his.

Under the current model of one super team and many strong teams in Ligue 1, Lyon does not have too many ambitions. It is its biggest wish to stably enter the Champions League every year.

But Genesio gave Lyon a surprise. He brought the team's characteristics of being strong or weak in the Champions League to Ligue 1, and did not fall behind in encounters with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. He even became Paris' biggest player in the league in these years. The master of suffering.

Unparalleled blessings, Lyon's characteristics of being weak and weak have made the team unable to break through the dominance of Paris in the French Ligue 1 standings. Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, Lyon is a hero in Ligue 1.

Bringing Depay to Lyon is not Genesio's golden finger, because Depay has been a Dutch international since 2014 and was a member of Brazil's World Cup third place.

But now the team almost has to admire Genesio's ability to play.

Ferland Mendy, Ndombele, Aouar, Cornet, Fekir, these are all the things Genesio has done in recent years.

Depay's value has actually declined from Eindhoven to Manchester United and then to Lyon. However, after this game, the value of 25-year-old winger Nabil Fekir is likely to surpass Depay in one fell swoop and become the transfer market Another 'Lyon Star'.

Fekir, like Zizou Scar, is of Algerian descent in North Africa. He participated in the Russian World Cup in the summer and came on as a substitute three times, but did not participate in the two big games against the Chinese team.

Fekir said that his idol is Zhuoyang, so he chose No. 18 whether in the French team or in Lyon. However, in terms of function and position, he is more suitable to compete with Griezmann as St. Scar's successor.

He is 1.7 meters tall and has an average appearance. Looking at appearance alone, Fekir is much more qualified than Gezi.

In today's game, Fekir was high, and so was the entire Lyon team. Manchester City encountered a strong block that seemed familiar to them.

Two consecutive big wins in the league, especially the 11:0 relegation against Fulham, made Manchester City almost forget the difficulties against Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Wolves.

Don't analyze the tactical implementation and pertinence. As long as you see that Zhuoyang, who has had hot feet in the past two months, has played the entire game in the starting lineup, and he has not scored yet, you will know that Lyon is full of animals today.

Compared with the changes of Paris and Monaco, Lyon's style faithfully continues the tradition of Ligue 1, especially in defense.

To be honest, a team like Lyon is not very defensive. They don't put iron barrels and buses, but they press very tightly in the middle, and even if there is space behind them, they will be the first choice to pounce.

It is not a simple swoop and grab, but also a unique defensive tactical system of Ligue 1. It has weaknesses and its distinctive characteristics.

Traditional French Ligue 1 players generally move quickly, turn quickly, have explosive power, are tough but not clumsy. It is not unreasonable to mass-produce high-quality waists in the past.

Regarding the difficulty of defending in Ligue 1, Zhuo Yang once lamented with Boss Mei. This style of defense is not very advanced, but it does restrain shooters who are known for their perfect shot quality, both of them.

There are many types of shooters. Zhuo Yang and Boss Mei are both perfect shooters who embody high quality and efficiency, and can independently complete all the elements required for shooting. In other words, be good at making balls for yourself.

However, Ligue 1's defensive style of containment + sudden attack will disrupt the shooting preparation of the perfect shooter, and the guy responsible for the attack often has very strong secondary movement ability, making it difficult to get rid of completely.

In general, Ligue 1's defense is relatively unfriendly to Zhuoyang. This is not to say that the defense of France 1 is so high-end. The point-grabbing forwards like them to focus on the head rather than the back. It is purely a matter of style.

But it doesn't mean that Zhuoyang can't score goals when he meets Ligue 1. Boss Mei also scored too many goals. It's just that he spends more money and energy to lower his success rate.

But Lyon's state today was so impressive that Manchester City's 25:8 shooting ratio at this time was unable to get a goal. Instead, they were attacked by their opponents and captured two cities.

Commentators from various live broadcasts have begun to complain: Zhuo Yang scored 10 goals in one breath four days ago. Did he use too much force and use up all the goals today?
