    After the start of the half, Lyon continued to strengthen their offense, and just like above, their defenders began to frequently participate in the offense, so that their offense had a three-dimensional and layered feel, and the passing began to become more frequent.  Use direct passes to directly pose a threat to Newcastle's goal.

    Mourinho is not afraid. He believes that with Newcastle's current defensive ability, it is absolutely possible to withstand the opponent's offensive. As long as it lasts ten minutes, the reality that there is not much time left will definitely make Lyon's players impatient.  , then the holes in their backcourt will become bigger and bigger, and Newcastle's opportunities will also appear.

    But five minutes later, an attack from Lyon made him jump out of his seat!

    Lyon intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass. Juninho's pass accurately landed near Newcastle's right sideline. Kufuor intended to top the ball, but the arc of the ball's flight was beyond his expectation.  Outside - he failed to hit the ball!

    Malouda rushed past him like a wind, and after unloading the ball beautifully, he immediately flicked the ball and smoothly wiped it into the penalty area!

    Woodgate immediately rushed towards him, but Malouda dunked the ball back and dodged him again!

    Lucio had no choice but to abandon Elber and rush towards him. Now Malouda was almost close to the small penalty area. Given would not be able to react to the shot from such a place!

    Seeing Lucio rushing towards him, Malouda shook his left foot and passed the ball!

    The ball flew towards the unguarded Elber. The Brazilian forward had already taken a shooting posture. In front of him was a mostly empty goal. No one would believe that he would not be able to score such a goal!

    Just when most Newcastle fans covered their faces.  A figure suddenly rushed over from behind Elber, and with a flying shovel, he scooped the flying ball out of it!

    Makelele!  The French midfielder appeared where he should be, stretched out his foot and intercepted the ball!

    But Newcastle's crisis is still not over. When Makelele tackled the ball just now, there was still some distance. All he could do was touch the ball. Although the ball that changed direction was not kicked by Elber, it was  The diagonal line flew to the back of the goal!

    There was a soft sound of "crotch".  The ball hit the outside of the far post and bounced into the penalty area.  Bernard and Govu rushed towards the landing point of the ball at the same time. Now Jiwen has not been able to pounce. If Govu touches the ball first, then he will be able to easily hit the ball into the empty goal!

    The two of them kept bumping into each other while running.  In the end, Bernard had the advantage. He kicked the ball out of the baseline ahead of Govu, and Newcastle's crisis was finally lifted!

    Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief.  If the ball is conceded at this time, then Lyon can patiently struggle with Newcastle. It is not yet known who will win by then.

    Le Guin lowered his head in regret. If this goal can be scored, then Newcastle will definitely not be able to defend like they did in the first half. Then Lyon will have more opportunities!

    The mood of the fans on both sides in the stands was obviously the same as that of their head coach. Lyon fans cursed loudly, while Newcastle fans cheered hugely after being thankful!

    However, after missing this good opportunity, Lyon's players seemed to be more confident - at least they saw the hope of tearing apart the opponent's defense.  The failure to score just now was just because the opponent defended desperately, but how many times can they defend to this level?

    This is not something you can do just by wanting to do it.

    Through this attack, Lyon players noticed the flaws on the opponent's two wings.  After all, Lyon's wing attack is also quite good, and Newcastle's two full-backs are defensively solid.  There will always be times when you make mistakes, right?  After all, humans are not machines.

    Mourinho also saw this. He stood up and signaled the two wing midfielders Nie Fei and Stewart to join the defense to relieve the pressure on the two wingers. The rest was the old rule, let them pass the cross.  Pass, as long as you don't cut inside, why do you want Lyon to have no center?

    Newcastle's players started to defend again. Although they looked embarrassed now, Lyon's two wing offenses were extremely active, and Ibrahimovic and Viduka also came back to help defend, but they still stopped the opponent's offense.  Outside the penalty area, Juninho tried several times to create opportunities through his dribbling, but he was interrupted by Makelele's beautiful defense.

    He can¡¯t pass or break through. The only trick that seems to be useful is long-range shooting.

    "Govu distributes the ball from the middle, Essien comes in from the backcourt, and takes a long shot!"

    The ball flew into the penalty area quickly, and then hit Woodgate hard on the back. Lucio made a big kick and grabbed the ball before Elber.He kicked the ball out of the sideline.

    It seems that even long-distance shooting won¡¯t work

    Seeing this scene, the high morale of the Lyon players was somewhat dimmed. Facing such an excellent defense and such a tenacious opponent, what should we do?

    Le Guin is also thinking hard about this problem. Even if he is a tiger, facing a whole

    The hedgehog who gets up will also feel that he has no way to eat.

    Lyon is not a tiger, and Newcastle is not just a hedgehog that can only defend but not attack.

    While Le Guin was still thinking, Newcastle finally caught a loophole in Lyon's backcourt!

    Govu hoisted the ball into the penalty area, Lucio headed the ball to clear the ball, Makelele grabbed the ball in front of Juninho and drove the ball to the frontcourt. Viduka near the center circle jumped high and headed the ball to  Ibrahimovic closer to the front!

    Ibrahimovic jumped up under Edmilson's close defense and pushed the ball forward. Then when he landed, he quickly extended his foot to control the ball under his feet, and then dribbled the ball forward quickly!

    Edmilson was tightly entangled with Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic ignored his defense and continued to move forward. The two entangled and came to the edge of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic suddenly raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!

    Nie Fei, who had been sprinting with Essien since the counterattack, finally got rid of his opponent, quickly broke into the penalty area, took a step towards the attacking Kupe, and then lifted the ball over Kupe's body!

    Essien, who had been chasing closely behind Nie Fei, gave up on Nie Fei and rushed towards the goal, but he was still a step too slow. The ball flew past his feet and fell into the goal under the desperate eyes of the Lyon fans in the audience!

    "Oh¡ª¡ª" Huge cheers rang out in the Gerland Stand and the square next to the stadium. Newcastle fans threw everything they could find into the sky. They all understood what this goal meant to Newcastle¡ª¡ª  In the remaining twenty minutes, as long as they don't concede three goals, they will be able to securely enter the quarterfinals of the European Champions Cup. From the beginning of the game to the present, Lyon's offensive ability seems to be invisible to them.  be able to do this.

    Lyon fans looked at these British people celebrating crazily on their own territory with hatred, but what can they do?  Their team fell behind, and they were unable to suppress the much smaller English fans during the game. They lost all the battles between the team and the fans. What else could they say?

    "We can basically congratulate Newcastle in advance." The ESPN commentator sighed: "Although there are still about twenty minutes before the start of the game, scoring three goals is too much for Lyon. Mourinho  Austria adopted the most realistic and conservative tactics, but he also got what he wanted. Of course, he was also lucky. If Elber hadn't missed that shot, I'm afraid it would be a different scene now.  "

    Although the commentator said this, Lyon's players did not give up. Although they themselves knew that it was probably impossible to advance, this did not mean that they had to give up this game willingly.

    Faced with the almost tragic attack of Lyon players, Mourinho did not intend to fight head-on with his opponent. In fact, after Nie Fei scored the key goal, he was already thinking about the next game.  When concentration is important, instead of pursuing so-called beautiful scenes, it is better for the players to save a little more energy.

    Mourinho began to kill time by making substitutions. So far in the game, he has not made a substitution. Three substitutions are enough for him to consume enough time.

    He first replaced Viduka with Dawson. After taking the lead, Viduka spent most of the time defending in his own half. Letting a forward participate in defense is obviously not as effective as replacing a real defender.

    Five minutes later, he replaced Ibrahimovic with Bellamy, and then replaced Stewart with Speed. Newcastle's formation became 541, with three of the four midfielders being defensive midfielders, except Nie Fei.  In addition to Bellamy and Bellamy in the frontcourt to contain the opponent's defender, all other players returned to the front of their penalty area to help defend. Lyon's offense can simply be described as unstoppable.

    In the 85th minute, Malouda's breakthrough created a free kick. Juninho was finally able to use his magical free kick skills. He scored the ball into the goal from 28 meters away.  The blind spot was beyond Ji Wen's reach, but the goal came too late.

    When the game entered stoppage time, all Newcastle's substitute players stood up. They were waiting for the moment when the final whistle sounded and they could celebrate wildly.

    Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Newcastle was on the road.They tied with Lyon the first time and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a total score of 2-1!

    Cheers filled the entire Gerland Stadium. Mourinho shook his fist fiercely, then turned around and hugged Pei Wei tightly!

    Victory!  All we want is victory!
