The Genk fans are already cheering for the upcoming victory.
They can see that Lille's talents are working hard.
Hazard and Gervinho can indeed pose a threat to their defense and have a strong impact.
But after all, they wanted to resolve the battle on their own. Genk couldn't defend them one-on-one. Two-person defense and three-person double-teaming always prevented the two from sending the ball into Genk's goal.
Hao Qiang, who came off the bench, was inconspicuous in their eyes. Because of his tall and strong body, it is easy for people to think that he is a pillar center. At most, he can only serve as a fulcrum for Hazard or Gervinho to pass the ball.
In the 76th minute of the game, Hazard once again encountered a zone defense press while dribbling and breaking through, causing the football to be destroyed.
Hao Qiang immediately turned around and returned to defense.
He returned to defense all the way to the front of the center circle before teaming up with Mawuba to steal the ball.
Then Lille immediately turned around and launched a fast attack.
Mawuba found Balmonte with the ball, and Hao Qiang took the initiative to move forward and approached Balmonte.
Even though Balmonte is not inclined to pass the ball to Hao Qiang, it is safe to pass it to Hao Qiang at this time.
Because when Genk's defense readjusts its defense, it has become accustomed to targeting Hazard and Gervinho as its top targets.
When Hao Qiang received Balmonte's pass, he immediately dribbled forward to advance the attack.
At this moment, he felt the feeling of dribbling freely and the football sticking to his feet for the first time in a long time!
It was even more exciting than when he was driving in the suburbs of Lille and stepped on the accelerator to the fullest to feel the strong pushing sensation on his back!
Genk focused on blocking Lille's wing attacks and did not tighten the defense in the middle.
I can only say that it is quite satisfactory.
When Hao Qiang crossed the ball to face midfielder Tuzer, his dribbling rhythm stopped.
Looks like he's going to pass the ball.
Hazard and Gervinho also moved near the top corners of the penalty area on both sides.
Tuzer stepped forward and tried to interfere with Hao Qiang's pass, but unexpectedly the next second he suddenly sped up and smashed the ball in a different direction and missed Tuzer!
No one expected that he would dare to try to break through without passing the ball!
Hazard and Gervinho were surprised and immediately moved inside. They didn't know whether Hao Qiang could pass the difficult through ball, but they had to move at this time!
The two men's movement and cutting inside led the defense to retreat further towards the goal defense, and the Genk defenders started to closely mark them.
Hao Qiang continued to dribble forward. The moment they entered the penalty area, Genk's two central defenders suddenly looked frightened.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth!
Only at this moment did they realize: That man wants to shoot by himself, he can't pass the ball!
At this time, the two people swarmed up again and tried to block Hao Qiang's shooting angle.
It's too late.
Hao Qiang shot furiously!
The football flew out like a cannonball. Although it seemed to be a bit on the right side, when it flew to the left of the center of the goal, the football drew an outer arc, which ultimately made the goalkeeper's save a beat slower!
"The goal was scored! Lille equalized the score! The Chinese forward named Hao Qiang who came on the bench is Lille's player with the most goals this season, and this is his fifth goal in the Europa League.
A goal!
The efficiency is extremely terrifying!
Genk guarded Hazard, guarded Gervinho, and successfully froze Melo, but they failed to guard Hao Qiang!"
When Hao Qiang saw his powerful shot scoring the goal, he turned around and ran toward the midfield with a grim look on his face.
Just an equalizer is not worth celebrating.
His teammates were stunned!
Hao Qiang's one-stop performance just now shocked them both physically and mentally.
I have to look at Hao Qiang with admiration.
But based on their observation of Hao Qiang's strength during training, they couldn't help but wonder: How did he do it?
Luck?
Maybe this is the only explanation.
Teammates came to high-five him one after another.
No matter how reluctant they were, Hazard and Gervinho still wanted to congratulate Hao Qiang.
Rudy Garcia showed a smile after applauding.
Even though he was surprised by Hao Qiang's performance, he believed that this was the improvement in strength brought about by Hao Qiang's active hard work in training.
It’s hard to say that Hao Qiang did something earth-shattering.
Dribbling, breakthrough, shooting.
The environment is not complicated.
It's not particularly difficult either.
It would be easy for Hazard to do it.
It's just that Hao Qiang is not Hazard, and his opponent has already been distracted by Arza and Gervinho.
But this does not prevent Rudy Garcia from improving his evaluation of Hao Qiang.
Henke was very upset.
In the home and away knockout rounds, they will play at home first, and naturally they will strive to win the game at home.
But now that Lille has equalized the score, they need to re-intensify their investment in offense!
Rudy Garcia gave signs to the team, asking them to retreat to defend against counterattacks.
At the same time, substitutions continued.
Aubameyang and Toure came on to replace Hazard and Gervinho.
Lille's formation shrunk, and Hao Qiang was able to act openly as the center forward.
He will still press when defending and interfere with the opponent's midfield organization.
As Genk began to press forward in formation.
Lille has many counterattack opportunities.
But when the counterattack is launched, it is natural to go to the side, and the center will definitely be more difficult.
As a result, Hao Qiang almost had an emotional explosion.
Aubameyang and Toure are also working alone!
There is no difference from Hazard and Gervinho who were substituted!
If so, they are not as much of a threat as Hazard and Gervinho.
After two consecutive counterattacks, Hao Qiang was alone again. Seeing the team's counterattack being intercepted, he almost wanted to roar!
In the 84th minute of the game, Hao Qiang once again defended deeper. When Cabaye passed the ball to him, the two wingers moved.
Hao Qiang quickly dribbled straight forward along the middle road.
As he ran faster and faster, Rudy Garcia looked at him with even more shock!
The increase in speed brought about by the improvement of ball-handling skills seems to have transformed Hao Qiang into a different person.
But this time Hao Qiang passed the midfielder and then headed towards the penalty area, but the central defender closed the door and destroyed the ball!
Aubameyang and Toure moved in from the side but failed to wait for Hao Qiang's pass. The two couldn't help but spread their hands and complain.
Hao Qiang heard the two people's loud questioning, but was unmoved and turned around to devote himself to defensive work.
Rudy Garcia frowned again.
Are both the same?
There is no team spirit at all.
Just like to work alone?
2 minutes later, Lille successfully defended in the backcourt and launched a fast break on the spot.
Hao Qiang took the initiative to run to the left. Aubameyang had just received a pass from full-back Beria. He encountered a sniper from his opponent and subconsciously passed the ball to Hao Qiang, and then he ran forward.
He just waited for Hao Qiang to pass the ball to him diagonally, whether it was to give the ball to his feet or to advance.
Either way.
Just pass the ball back to him!
However, Hao Qiang turned around after pulling the ball and immediately dribbled inward at a high speed without even looking towards the wing.
Aubameyang was immediately furious.
Are you really arrogant after scoring a goal?
Genk midfielder Tuzer once again chose to strike first when facing Hao Qiang, and went straight forward to press for the ball.
Hao Qiang decisively changed the direction of the ball when the opponent came forward. When Tuzer turned around to collide, Hao Qiang also took the initiative to fight!
Tuzer was hit so hard that he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Hao Qiang only slowed down his dribbling speed, adjusted one step and continued to move forward.
When he came to the penalty area and faced center defender Hubot, Hao Qiang dribbled and slowed down.
After he slowed down, Hubot thought that Hao Qiang did not dare to break through, so he stepped forward to steal the ball.
The moment he took a step forward, Hao Qiang moved the ball to the right with his right foot and spiked the ball forward.
One push and one push, speed up the breakthrough!
A look of horror appeared in Hubot's eyes!
Only then did he realize that Hao Qiang's slowdown just now was a change in rhythm.
The change between slow and fast caused gaps in his defense.
In other words, he fell into passivity after being deceived.
Hao Qiang crossed the ball into the penalty area and then shot hard again!
The football blasted with his right foot flew straight to the far corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper flew to make a save but couldn't reach the ball and was helpless!
All the Genk fans were stunned!
Lille fans were also dumbfounded!
“Hao Qiang! Scored twice in three consecutive Europa League games!
It’s more than magical, it’s simply unbelievable!
His dribbling run was unforgettable and wonderful.
Rudy Garcia's substitution was a stroke of genius.
Hao Qiang helped Lille reverse Genk's away game with two goals!
Lille now leads Genk 2:1!"
Rudy Garcia's masterstroke?
His head is buzzing now!
He even has a lot of doubts now.
I suspected that I was dreaming.
I suspected that I was blinded.
I suspect that Hao Qiang has been hiding his clumsiness before!
Although Hao Qiang scored twice in the previous two games.
But there is no comparison with today's double score.
The first two games were either taking the cake or picking up the slack.
Today's double score is completely a reflection of personal ability!
