Lille fans also began to heatedly discuss Hao Qiang, a new player who had been inconspicuous before.
Hao Qiang is full of motivation and works hard in training. Bumpal and Rudy Garcia pay more attention to his performance.
His attitude was never an issue.
But the technical display during training still feels a bit unsatisfactory.
In the next round, Lille will visit the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.
In the second leg of the fourth qualifying round of the Europa League in midweek, Rudi Garcia adopted a rotation.
The 2:1 lead in the first round was already relatively large.
As long as Lille is unbeaten at home, or even loses the game 0:1, they can eliminate Genk and advance to the Europa League.
During the preparation meeting the day before the game, Hao Qiang learned that he had entered the starting lineup for the game. He was immediately overjoyed and returned to the hotel to rest early.
Stay prepared!
August 27th.
Mauroy Stadium.
Hao Qiang made his debut as the starter against Genk.
Lille's starting lineup today is very young.
Goalkeeper: Butler.
Defenders: Debuchy, Rami, Emerson, Sorea.
Midfielder: Sukai, Gueye, Dumont.
Forwards: Salibull, Hao Qiang, Aubameyang.
Except for Dumont and Butler who were born before 1985, the other players were all born after 1985, and four players were born after 1990.
After the game started, Hao Qiang actively ran in the frontcourt, but Genk stationed his troops in the midfield to launch a frantic attack on Lille's midfield organization.
Lille's striker hardly got any chances.
The midfielder was overwhelmed and the offensive organization was in disarray.
Hasty forward passes always end in mistakes.
The game lasted for 20 minutes, and Hao Qiang looked confused.
Looking at the Lille midfielder, I couldn't help but curse: What are you playing?
Dumont and Gueye tended to be defensive, and their organizational skills were not strong. Sukai was in a hurry after being suppressed.
Genk suppressed the ball in the midfield and frequently intercepted the ball and then counterattacked. Lille's defense was in turmoil.
The full-backs did not dare to increase their offensive aggressiveness to provide support to the frontcourt players.
Center Hao Qiang can't even touch the ball.
Even if Aubameyang and Salibull retreat to support, they are often surrounded and suppressed when they get rid of the ball.
The main problem still appears in the midfield!
Lille fans are very calm.
The team is training today, and it is understandable that the scene is not good-looking.
However, when in the 26th minute of the game, Genk launched a series of fast attacks and penetrated Lille's defense to score the first goal, Lille fans became uneasy.
Finally got a 2:1 victory in the away game to establish a promotion advantage.
Do we want to give back the advantage at home?
Or even give up the promotion spot?
Rudy Garcia can't help it.
They won the last game against Toulouse, but now they have to visit the Parc des Princes. The league is the focus, so rotation is inevitable.
If the main team beats Genk today, it will probably be tough against Paris Saint-Germain on the weekend.
The loss of the goal dealt a heavy blow to the team's morale.
Whether it is military training or youth, it seems that they can be used as excuses for inferior skills.
This is completely opposite to the competition scene that Hao Qiang expected.
The midfielder who cannot control the ball cannot deliver cannonballs to the forwards. He is completely a decoration in front.
When Hao Qiang and Aubameyang were preparing to kick off in the center circle, Hao Qiang suddenly said to Aubameyang: "You seize the opportunity to run!"
Aubameyang was stunned when he heard this, and still didn't understand what Hao Qiang meant.
Hao Qiang flicked the ball, then closed his eyes and entered a strange space.
Opening the warehouse, he glanced back and forth between De Rossi and Gerrard, who were both on fire.
Finally chose Gerrard.
use.
Exit the system.
Lille fans sighed.
The generals of Henke are full of murderous intent.
The total score is 2:2.
Genk still needed to score one more goal to take the lead.
With this score now, Lille is still in the lead due to the away goal advantage.
Rudy Garcia is already thinking about replacing Cabaye in the second half to take charge of the midfield.
But then he frowned and stared at Hao Qiang strangely.
Hao Qiang returned to the midfield and was closely positioned with his midfield teammates.
When Genk launched an encirclement and suppression campaign, Hao Qiang continued to cooperate with Gueye, Dumont and Sukai by making short passes.
Pass, run, receive, pass again, run.
When Hao Qiang suddenly moved forward to receive Su Kai's pass, he broke through Genk's midfield circle.
But Genk's back line pressed forward and immediately stepped forward to intercept and press him.
Hao Qiang looked at the left and right directions.
Neither Aubameyang nor Salibull made any obvious moves to prevent offside.
He suddenly became very angry.
Being blocked in front, he could only pass the ball to Aubameyang, but the latter was destroyed by his opponent when he broke through.
Hao Qiang shouted angrily at Aubameyang: "Can't you understand what people are saying? Still can't see the big space in front of you?"
Only then did Aubameyang realize what Hao Qiang had said to him before.
After working on it for a long time, Hao Qiang retreated to assist with ball control in the midfield, helping Lille stabilize the midfield, and he also willingly delivered shells to the forwards.
This time, he failed to keep up with the rhythm!
Even though Aubameyang was a little unhappy with the way Hao Qiang was giving orders in such an aggressive manner.
But he also knows that the court is like a battlefield.
You deserve to be sprayed for wasting your opportunity!
Rudy Garcia looked a little confused.
I always feel that Hao Qiang is very strange in my eyes at this time.
The Lille teammates sitting on the bench were also very surprised.
Cabaye was thoughtful, Gervinho looked surprised.
They never imagined that Hao Qiang, who had been eating and drinking all the time, would be so dedicated and sacrificial.
And that's not even the point!
The work of midfield organization is not something you can do well if you just want to do it.
Maybe he just caught Henke off guard.
But 5 minutes later, when Hao Qiang was surrounded by his opponents behind the center circle and was forced to pass the ball diagonally back to the backcourt, Rudy Garcia's eyes suddenly lit up.
Debuchy had space and took advantage of the situation to get the ball forward.
At this time, Hao Qiang moved to the right wing to meet the opponent.
Debuchy immediately passed the ball.
Hao Qiang passed the ball diagonally back to Su Kai, but the chasing defender missed the interception.
Hao Qiang turned forward again and Su Kai sent a direct pass.
Hao Qiang, who came to the frontcourt to break away from the defense, faced Genk's midfielder decisively and passed the ball diagonally to the right.
Salipur's movement was slow, and at this time he was pressed closely by the full-back.
After he moved the ball to the center, he saw Hao Qiang reaching forward and pointed his finger in front of him. He didn't dare to delay and immediately passed the ball over.
Genk's defense is retreating quickly.
However, Hao Qiang received the ball and then changed direction and cut across to the middle.
Almost all the surrounding defensive players were attracted to him. At this time, he sent a diagonal pass to the left rib area of the penalty area.
Aubameyang cut in quickly, successfully countered offside and got a golden opportunity.
Rudy Garcia was stunned!
Aubameyang adjusted the ball and then shot hard, and the football flew into the lower right corner of the goal.
Hao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Alas, these bastards ruined my dream of being a center forward!
As long as the midfielder can stand, he will not take out Gerrard!
He took out Gerrard and had to direct the forwards to work!
Which Lille player is as tired as me?
The cheers at Moruwa Stadium shocked everyone.
Aubameyang rushed to celebrate, then turned around and smiled at Hao Qiang, who was approaching, and actively hugged him.
Rudy Garcia turned to look at Bumpal again, his eyes seeming to ask: What do you think?
Bumpal was stunned and shook his head a little scared: I don't know!
This is not the first time that Hao Qiang has suddenly shown such unexpected strength.
And today, I went directly from the center to the role of the organizing midfielder.
Not only is it weird, it’s also scary!
Bumpal was about to cry.
He brutally exploited Hao Qiang's potential during training, thinking that he already knew Hao Qiang well.
But now look at Hao Qiang's performance on the court, he knows nothing!
Gervinho looked unhappy.
Hao Qiang was doing the organizational work today, and the team had room for fast breaks.
It's time for him to show off his talents!
It was surprising that Aubameyang came out on top.
Alas, bad luck!
Kabaye, however, looked solemn as he applauded.
Hao Qiang's wave of organization and coordination, as well as his final delivery of threatening balls, gave him a strong sense of crisis.
Four days ago, he was still teasing Hazard in the locker room. Now he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Hao Qiang.
Brother, are you taking my job?
Henk is confused again!
That’s not right!
Isn’t Hao Qiang a center forward?
And he must be a new recruit.
Why did Ta Ma play center forward in the last game, but withdraw to play midfielder this game?
And they also broke their joint defense and suppression!
A set of smooth organizational advancement directly broke down their defense line!
