The stunned Montpellier finally woke up from a dream when they were two goals behind.
Girard quickly gestured on the sidelines to let the team launch a mad attack!
I wanted to consume Lille, but the situation no longer allowed it.
The gap between two goals, God knows if we can make it back in the remaining time!
At this time, Montpellier was completely hurt by the beating and instinctively fought back.
Lille, however, consciously shrank its formation and launched a defensive counterattack.
We started right away and got results.
Adjusting according to changes in the situation on the field is also what Rudy Garcia emphasized before the game.
It can be said that they are trying to deal with the game smartly, or it can be said that they are growing rapidly and becoming mature and sophisticated.
Montpellier's strong attack encountered Lille's strong sniper attack in the midfield.
Lille is very good at launching quick counterattacks on the spot.
Hao Qiang and Cabaye continued to deliver shells to Hazard and Gervinho during the transition of offense and defense.
The panic-stricken Montpellier had many holes in their defense, and they were already in disarray.
In the 31st minute of the game, Mavuba stole the ball in front of the penalty area. Cabaye and Hao Qiang then hit the wall behind the center circle to cooperate. Then Cabaye sent a wonderful pass to the middle of the field.
Hazard and Gervinho rushed inside together.
When Hazard took the lead in controlling the ball, Gervinho unswervingly fought against offside and advanced forward.
Encountered by the defender, Hazard moved the ball out of the angle and then sent a through ball.
Just right.
Gervinho entered the penalty area and single-handedly passed the attacking goalkeeper Hu Dulun and then pushed the shot into the empty goal!
3:0!
Montpellier is even more confused!
The Lille crowd gathered around to celebrate and nodded to each other.
The pressure of the schedule made it difficult for them to take it easy. At this time, they remained calm and rational, and played at a very high level in the game.
This young team has demonstrated their ability to withstand pressure with practical actions!
"It's really unexpected, we performed so well today!"
"If we perform like this and focus on playing in the league, we will definitely win the league championship!"
"It depends on how we will face Benfica in midweek. To be honest, it would be a pity to give up the Europa League now!"
Girard looked blank.
It's like being beaten stupid!
Not only did he make mistakes in his predictions, but he also seemed to have thrown himself into a trap by making on-the-spot adjustments.
Montpellier's passionate counterattack turned into handing the knife to Lille.
Let Lear stab them in the wound again!
The mentality of the Montpellier generals exploded.
It seemed that not a single minute of this game was within their expectations and control.
At this time, many players were already distraught and at a loss to face the game.
Lille took the initiative to slow down and control the tempo.
Montpellier responded in a confused and passive manner.
Before the end of the first half, Lille slowly advanced to the frontcourt, with soldiers pressing down.
They patiently organized the offensive without deliberately speeding up.
When the opponent presses and blocks the ball, they pass the ball and organize again.
But when Cabaye advanced into the penalty area, Hao Qiang sent the ball into the right rib area of the penalty area to find Gervinho and the latter passed it back in an inverted triangle.
Cabaye met the ball and blasted the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
4:0!
Lille has completely sealed Montpellier's coffin!
Rudy Garcia clapped his hands and applauded. The team's performance also strengthened his belief in persisting in fighting on two fronts and never giving up.
At the end of the half, the players from both teams returned to the locker rooms to take a short rest.
In the second half, he returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.
Montpellier regained some strength and began to play steadily.
But Lille stopped playing!
Their formation is in the backcourt, although Hazard and Gervinho are still in the midfield and on the wings ready to counterattack.
But unless there is an excellent counterattack opportunity, the two men control the ball in the frontcourt at a significantly slower speed. They will wait for Montpellier's players to retreat before passing the ball back.
Unlimited rhythm!
Montpellier was determined to kill the thief, but was unable to save his life.
At the 60th minute of the game, Lille made a substitution.
All the front three are gone.
Hao Qiang, Gervinho and Hazard were replaced by Obragnak, Aubameyang and Melo.
Lille fans greeted the three with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Although they are young, they are already heroes of Lille!
It can even be said that it is expected to become the best striker combination in Lille's history!
The three of them sat on the bench and took a sip of water to rest.
My mind will inevitably drift to the upcoming quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Perhaps until they suffer a major defeat, they will firmly maintain their current focus and fighting spirit.
After the substitution, the rhythm of the scene improved slightly.
After all, the striker trident replaced is eager to pose a threat.
Montpellier was unable to make a comeback.
It has been steady and steady.
The scene was somewhat tense.
The confrontation also began to become fierce.
Rudy Garcia was furious at the three forwards who were substituted!
He needs them to defend aggressively through fire and water.
Instead of walking around the court waiting for the opportunity to counterattack before launching.
There is no doubt that the three of them are cannon fodder.
It was used to consume Montpellier.
But the three of them seemed not to have high enough awareness.
His performance improved after being yelled at by Rudy Garcia.
Montpellier didn't score a face-saving goal until the end of the game.
In the end, Lille won Montpellier 4:1 at home.
Even this match was anticlimactic.
But they scored enough goals in the first half and laid the foundation for a big victory. Naturally, the fans will not complain that they were messing around in the second half.
Marseille defeated Sochaux in the away game and continued to maintain their pursuit of Lille.
The gap between the top two teams is still 4 points.
After the game, Rudy Garcia had a particularly tough tone in the interview.
"People have been talking for the past week that Lille should give up the Europa League, and they cited a lot of reasons that sound very convincing.
For example, Lille's physical fitness cannot sustain a two-front battle.
For example, if Lille focuses on the league, they will be more confident in winning the championship trophy.
Their reasons seem irrefutable.
But what I want to say is that competitive sports is not an arithmetic problem.
As parties involved, of course we know the challenges and difficulties we encounter, as well as the pressure we endure!
Will we definitely be able to win the league title if we give up the Europa League at this time?
This young team is fighting hard!
This tone supports us to grit our teeth and move forward, resist pressure, overcome difficulties, and win challenges!
If we give up the Europa League, this tone may be gone.
It may not perform better in the league by then!
This is a huge test for us, but we have no retreat, and I will not let my players give up and choose a comfortable path to be smart.
Hazard, Hao Qiang, Cabaye, Gervinho, Debuchy, etc. We have too many talents to build upon.
I'm not just looking at what Lille will gain and lose in the end this season.
I also hope these talented young players can go further.
There is no reason why players can grow and transform rapidly.
There are only pressures, tests, and challenges!
What they face today will be what they will face often in the future of their careers.
This is their opportunity and their wealth.
give up?
I will not teach them to give up.
I also hope that the media that pretend to be thinking about Lille will stop using such remarks to interfere with Lille.
If we fall in the end and gain nothing, the responsibility will all be on me. At that time, you can laugh at my stupidity, recklessness, and arrogance as much as you want.
Now, please give us a quiet space and let us concentrate on facing a series of challenges in the future!"
There was silence at the post-match press conference.
Then some reporters stood up and applauded!
Others also nodded and applauded.
Lille dressing room.
The players looked at Rudy Garcia on the ceiling TV, and they all nodded and applauded each other.
"The coach is right!"
"We will go all out and admit defeat!"
"Bite your teeth, we may not be able to create a miracle!"
"come on!"
Lille, which is in the ascendant, is unprecedentedly united and united.
Hao Qiang was also deeply affected.
Whether it is the temptation of the championship or the pressure of facing challenges, at this time, it forces all of them to unite and show the true charm of competitive sports.
Hao Qiang was interviewed by Six Golden Flowers when he left the Moruwa Stadium.
They also have the same questions.
Will Lille give up a front?
Hao Qiang smiled.
"The quarter-finals of the Europa League and the league leaders seem to be able to make a choice. We are indeed not the favorites and do not have enough bench strength. When we lost in the last round, we could also feel that the limit of our abilities was not enough to maintain the state.
optimal.
There are many reasons to give up, and any one of them can convince you to give up with peace of mind.
Because we are young, no one will chase us and attack us.
But I think just one reason is enough to persist.
We don’t want to lose, we just want to win!”
After saying this, Hao Qiang left quietly.
The six golden flowers seemed to be glowing just by looking at his figure!
