But in the first head-on encounter of this game, at least in terms of physicality, the 185CM Gourcuff was "crushed."
As for another genius midfielder, Pjanic, before the game he wasn't really convinced by Chen Zhong either, with the attitude of a young calf not fearing a tiger. But in the first confrontation of this match, he more or less saw the physical gap between himself and Chen Zhong!
Real Madrid played with more composure after scoring a goal.
Soon, they had another counter-attack opportunity!
"Real Madrid's attack!"
"28th minute of the match!"
"Chen Zhong backs up to hold the ball!"
"Under the double-team of Gourcuff and Pjanic, he stuffed the ball to C. Ronaldo!"
"After C. Ronaldo got the ball, he passed it sideways to Kaka!"
"Kaka directly took a shot!"
Cristiano Ronaldo was undoubtedly the main focus of Lyon's defense, and as a former midfielder, the Portuguese naturally had a good vision and passing sense.
