Chapter 125 Promotion Probability
Through Zhang Chaoqiang's complementary shot, Lyon finally took the lead again.

The fans at the scene once again sang the team song to express their support for the team.

2: 1.

It's an overall good score.

If the first round ends with this score, the fans there will fully accept it.

The game restarted, and the Chelsea players also expressed their acceptance with actions.

They shrink their formation appropriately, intending to keep the score until the end.

The Lyon coaching staff also made gestures on the sidelines, asking the whole team to pay attention to defense and not to make mistakes at the last moment of the game.

A few minutes passed quickly, and the regular nine and 10-minute game was coming to an end.

"If the first leg ends 2-1, then both teams should be able to accept it."

"For Lyon, they have a small advantage at home, for Chelsea, they only lost a goal and scored an away goal."

“在欧冠历史上首回合主场2:1领先的球队，整体晋级概率大概是55%。因此，切尔西1:2输球的话，他们的晋级概率也有45%。”

In the 90th minute of the game, the commentators from various countries were already analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams that ended 2:1 in the first round.

Zhang Chaoqiang dribbled the ball past Fabregas in the frontcourt, but was kicked by Mikel in the ankle when trying to accelerate in front of the penalty area.

Di-

Spanish referee Velasco immediately whistled for a foul.

"Mr. Referee, this is a harmful foul and a yellow card action."

The Lyon players immediately put pressure on the referee, because in the previous consecutive attacks, Mikel had been given a yellow card by Valbuena.

Give him another one and he'll get a red card.

But the referee obviously didn't want to send off the Nigerian, so he just gave Lyon a free kick and didn't mean to play a card.

"Lyon got a free kick about 20 meters away from the goal, slightly to the left of the front of the penalty area, which is a very suitable position for direct attack."

As soon as the free kick happened, the commentators of various countries immediately became interested.

There is an obvious possibility of variables in the game.

Zhang Chaoqiang rubbed his ankle and slowly got up from the grass.

That guy is really hard on his feet, and it is not an exaggeration to give a yellow card.

But the referee obviously didn't want to give a red card in this game.

Zhang Chaoqiang set up the football at the foul spot, while the Chelsea players also lined up the wall.

Since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, stadium foam spray has been widely used in various football matches, which is very beneficial to free kick players.

In the era when there was no foam spray, the defensive players on the wall always moved forward secretly while the referee was not paying attention, resulting in the distance between the wall generally not reaching the specified distance, and the difficulty of free kicks over the wall would be greatly increased.

Now with foam spray, defensive players can only stand at the prescribed distance honestly, which is more conducive to free kicks.

After setting up the football, Zhang Chaoqiang took a few steps back.

The referee whistled and Zhang Chaoqiang took a deep breath.

Kick the ground to run and step forward.

Swing your leg sideways and kick hard with the inside of your right foot.

The football soared into the air, and the Chelsea wall players also took advantage of the momentum.

Gary Cahill in the wall found the ball was coming towards his head, and he seemed to be able to reach it after taking off.

So the England defender closed his eyes and shook his head hard after taking off, trying to stop the football with his head.

But he just felt that the side of his head was rubbed, and he didn't hit the ball firmly.

The football still crossed the wall and flew firmly to the upper left corner of the goal.

Most importantly, there was a slight deflection of the spinning football after a slight nub of Gary Cahill's head.

Originally, there was not a very tricky entry angle, but it directly became a dead end.

Courtois, who was in excellent form, fought hard to save, but was still powerless.

The football flew in from the dead corner between the beam and the column, and it was impossible to catch it.

"Goooooooooal————————" In just a moment, the commentators from various countries immediately switched to the roaring state and began to shout crazily.

"Super sheet!! The king of lore!! Hat trick!!"

"Super Zhang completed a hat-trick and scored directly with a free kick!!"

"This is a very critical goal, 2:1 and 3:1, these are two completely different scores!"

"The supplementary shot in the 81st minute before, Super Zhang lore-killed this game, and this free kick, he probably directly lore-killed the entire series, this is the real lore king!!"

Zhang Chaoqiang originally just took the free kick with a normal mentality.

It's best if you can make a penalty, it doesn't matter if you don't.

After all, the goalkeeper on the opposite side is in a brave state, and it is impossible to bypass his ten fingers with ordinary attacks.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's defender rubbed the football for help and turned this free kick into an absolute dead end.

Zhang Chaoqiang rushed to the sidelines excitedly waving his arms, slid and knelt out.

hat trick!

This is a hat-trick in the knockout round of the Champions League.

All the teammates rushed over, hugged and cheered each other, and shared passionate moments.

"It's so beautiful, super Zhang!!"

"Are you possessed by God?"

"Great, the English are screwed."

"We're going to the quarterfinals!"

Everyone knows the significance of this goal, which can greatly increase the probability of Lyon's promotion.

Above the stands, the Lyon fans once again chanted in unison.

"The King of Lore! The King of Lore!!"

At the same time, commentators from various countries continued to talk about Zhang Chaoqiang's hat-trick.

"This is the first hat-trick in the knockout round of the Champions League this season. It does not come from super-scorers such as Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez, but from Chinese Superman, the most popular super talent in European football at present!"

"Through this hat-trick, Chao Zhang became the first Asian player to wear a hat in the Champions League, and also the third player to wear a hat in the history of the Lyon team, after Sylvain Wiltord and Buffetimbi Go After rice."

"Above all, it was a hat-trick that cornered Chelsea and gave Lyon an incredible lead."

"If they only lost the first leg 1:2, Chelsea would still have a 45% chance of coming back, but if the score expanded to 1:3, then according to historical data, Chelsea's comeback probability is only 2%."

2:1 and 3:1, it seems that there is only one ball difference, but that is enough to cause a qualitative change.

The Lyon players are also well aware of this.

So after celebrating wildly, the whole team played with the spirit of twelve points, and must keep the score until the end.

In 4 minutes of stoppage time, Chelsea did launch a continuous counterattack.

But under the firm defense of everyone in Lyon, they did not create much threat.

After 4 minutes, the Spanish referee quickly blew the final whistle.

In the Lyon Olympic Stadium, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami immediately sounded.

"The whole game is over, congratulations to Lyon, they beat Chelsea 3:1 unexpectedly with a super Zhang hat-trick, and won the huge lead in the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen."

"Chelsea is already on the edge of a cliff. Although there is still a chance to return home to make a comeback, the score in the first leg does not give them a great chance."
