It is still an awkward draw, The Greater Paris only took away 1 point away from home against their old rival Lyon, although they are still a big leader in Ligue 1 and rank first in Ligue 1, but they should be ashamed of having only won one round in the last five rounds, if they were in the Premier League they should have fallen out of the championship team a long time ago!
Due to the collective absence of Messi and Neymar, this match against Pochettino Lyon also allowed Wijnaldum to play a 4-3-3 forward position, and the backfield due to Diallo and Ashraf needed to participate in the African Cup of Nations, and the young Dagba played as the starting right-back.
On the Lyon side, Bosch lined up a 3-4-2-1 squad, also because of the multi-person call-up to the national team, they also suffered from a shortage of personnel. However, the most regrettable thing we still did not see the match between Boateng and Messi in this game, after joining Lyon this season, Boateng performed well and quickly became the main defender of the team, and without Messi in Paris, we can not see him and Messi again, and may miss a famous scene.

After suffering a lot of criticism during the season, Pochettino also tried to make the team more outstanding, in which he used passing tactics to make the most of the team's high-value and capable players. The data of this game can fully illustrate this point, the big Paris with a possession rate of 68% can not be said to be firmly in control of the situation, but compared to the tactics of other passing masters, his transformation of greater Paris is only on the surface, and the players only use their ability to control the ball.
Lyon scored in the 8th minute of the game, and like all teams that play at home, it is the last word to start by taking advantage of the three-plate axe! A long pass against Lyon midfielder Guimarães pinpointed Paqueta, who then fired a powerful shot at goal in the back-back to make the score 1-0.
And as I said just now, the pass control of The Greater Paris is only on the surface, there is no data, their players are not active in cross-positioning, and the tactics are always only long passes to find Mbappe's point, and the opponent is very easy to see. And although Mbappe tried his best to contribute a few very good shooting attempts, and Mbappe contributed a column in the first half, they were still a little short of scoring.
In the second half, Paris still controlled the whole field, but after repeated backwards and long crosses in front, time passed a little, and Pochettino finally remembered the substitution, the two midfielders Xavi Simmons and Eduard Mich were directly on the table, and The right-back Dagba, who received a yellow card, was also replaced by Correll.
Fortunately, this substitution still played a certain role, and in the 75th minute, the young player Who had just been replaced, Mitch, assisted and rushed to the opponent's penalty area to push Korel to break the goalkeeper and equalize! Then Lyon also let go of his hands and feet and Paris played against the attack, supernova Cherkee's shot almost let the team outstrip the score again, but Navas is still a god. And the Greater Paris side Kylian Kylian Mbappe also came to a free kick again, but unfortunately today his luck was too back, this time the excellent free kick hit the upright again, and this is also the last chance of both sides, and finally Greater Paris drew 1-1 with the opponent.
The young general Who launched the long pass, Mishi
Looking forward to the future of Paris after the game, although there should be no suspense in Ligue 1, other competitors this season are still pulling to the end, but in the current state of the team, in the Champions League, they face the opponent Real Madrid is not a vegetarian, then Pochettino should arrange the tactics well. And Messi should come back in the next game, but also hope that The King of Mayer can lead this team to a good result.
