Chapter 131 Season 40+
On February 3, in the 20th round of the Ligue 31, Lyon played against Nantes at home.

Just after the midweek away game against Chelsea, the Lyon team is somewhat tired.

After all, running back and forth, and the intensity of the game is very high.

This caused Lyon to be a bit unable to attack at home for a long time.

After 70 minutes of the game, Fournier decisively replaced Kornet to play the three forwards and tried hard to attack, and finally paid off.

Kornet first helped Lyon open the scoring in the corner kick melee, and then made a penalty kick in stoppage time, allowing Zhang Chaoqiang to hit a shot.

In addition, Lacazette also scored a goal in the 83rd minute.

So Lyon defeated Nantes 3:0 at home and successfully scored three points.

"Including the penalty kicks in this game, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 29 goals in Ligue 30 this season. It is only a matter of time before he breaks the [-]-goal mark."

"In addition, in terms of total goals in various competitions, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 41 goals this season. This is a very exaggerated statistic."

"No matter in any league, being able to score 30 goals in a single season and 40 goals in all competitions is the efficiency of a super shooter."

There are currently 7 rounds left in Ligue 29. Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 30 goals.

Since the 21st century, only Ibrahimovic and Lacazette have successfully scored 30 goals in a season in Ligue [-].

In addition, Zhang Chaoqiang also scored 7 goals in the Champions League, 3 goals in the European Super Cup, and 2 goals in the French Super Cup.

According to the comprehensive calculation of all competitions, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 41 goals in total.

The statistic of 41 goals is very eye-catching. Among the five major leagues, only Real Madrid's Ronaldo has scored more goals than Zhang Chaoqiang so far this season.

Comparing historical data is equally clear.

Since the 21st century, only six players in the five major leagues have scored 40+ goals in a single season in all competitions.

Ruud, Huntelaar, Mario Gomez, Ibrahimovic.

All four of them have done it once.

Of course, Ibrahimovic is expected to complete the second time this season.

In addition to the four, there are naturally two perverts, Ronaldo and Messi.

Before this season, both of them had scored 40+ goals in six seasons.

And this season they have a good chance to go on to complete the seventh.

In fact, Ronaldo has finished, and Messi is still a few goals away.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has also joined the ranks of 40+ goals in the season.

On top of that, he's only 21 years old.

C罗在07/08赛季第一次完成时年龄为23岁，梅西在09/10赛季第一次完成时年龄为22岁。

For the first time, Zhang Chaoqiang was younger than the two of them.

However, younger age does not necessarily mean greater achievement.

After all, Ronald has scored 20+ seasons in the five major leagues at the age of 40 for many years, but he only had that one time in his career.

Of course, he was largely hampered by injuries.

In the 31st round of Ligue 2, Lyon defeated Nantes at home and took all three points, but Paris on the other side drew 2:[-] with Monaco at home.

In this case, Lyon successfully recovered the two-point difference.

Paris currently has 77 points and Lyon has 76 points.

Since the first half of the season, the point difference between the two teams has been pulling back and forth between one and four points.

Now there are 7 rounds left in Ligue [-], and the two teams have returned to a subtle one-point difference.

After the 31st round of Ligue [-] is the two-week national team match day, the French media took advantage of the suspension of Ligue [-] to make another blind analysis.

Lyon drew Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is basically bad luck.

Paris Europe is drawn to Manchester City and has a good chance of advancing.

Both sides are local tyrants, but Paris is considered to have more experience in the Champions League.

At least that's what the French media thinks.

What Lyon has to do is to take this opportunity to adjust the team's focus back to the domestic arena, and strive to complete the Ligue [-] defense.

After all, every step forward in the Champions League consumes a lot of energy.

This is especially true for a team like Lyon that dominates the world with a lineup.

But Lyon fans don't think so.

Now that Bayern has been drawn, of course we have to have a good fight with them.

If you can't do it, it's not too late to come back and fight for Ligue [-].

In the Lyon team, everyone is so thoughtful.

There is still some time before the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Lyon's coaching staff has already started targeted training, and the whole team is preparing for the battle.

In general, the current Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern has become Lyon's most important game.

During the national team competition, Zhang Chaoqiang actually received an exclusive mission from Annie.

"My father said that if you can eliminate Bayern, he will allow me to go to China."

Before Zhang Chaoqiang's mother asked him to take Annie back, and then Zhang Chaoqiang took the opportunity to ask Annie.

Annie herself agrees, but her family seems to disagree, saying that China is too far away.

Unexpectedly, there was another turning point recently.

"I asked again at lunchtime yesterday, and my father suddenly said: 'If the kid can knock out Bayern, he will allow you to go'." Anne explained.

"Is there any inevitable connection between eliminating Bayern and going to China?" Zhang Chaoqiang was a little curious.

"I don't know. I asked Guy secretly later, and he said that it seemed that Bayern had eliminated Saint-Etienne..." Anne half understood.

Zhang Chaoqiang checked it deliberately, and it was true.

Saint-Etienne was a strong player in Ligue 70 in the 60s and 70s. It won four consecutive French championships in the [-]s and three consecutive Ligue [-] championships in the [-]s.

Especially in the 70s, Saint-Etienne not only dominated Ligue [-], but also performed well in the Champions League.

In the 74/75 season, Saint-Etienne reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in history, but lost to Bayern 0:2 in two rounds.

In the 75/76 season, Saint-Etienne made a comeback and directly reached the final.

But they met Bayern again, and finally lost the championship 0:1.

After all, it was the peak period of Bayern's three consecutive Champions League titles.

Maybe the father-in-law was a passionate fan of Saint-Etienne back then. He watched his home team fall in front of Bayern twice in a row, so he left the obsession in his heart.

"Don't worry Anne, I will try my best to beat Bayern and snatch you over."

"But I heard that Bayern is the number one favorite in the Champions League, can you really beat them?"

"If you can't do it, I'll take you away secretly..."

After the national team competition, April officially arrived.

It is also the last two months of the season.

The two months that really come to an end determine the results.

On April 4, in the 2nd round of the Ligue 32, Lyon challenged Lorient away.

Lacazette doubled, Valbuena scored, and Lyon won 3-0 away without bloodshed.

Zhang Chaoqiang failed to score and only received one assist in the game.

Relying on this assist, his number of assists in Ligue [-] this season is in double figures again.

29 goals and 10 assists, this is the current league data of Zhang Chaoqiang.

On the other side, Paris beat Nice 4:1 at home, and Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick.

Ibrahimovic, like Zhang Chaoqiang, has become a player who has capped at least twice in Ligue [-] this season.

Moreover, in the Ligue 30 scorer list, Ibrahimovic leapt past Zhang Chaoqiang with this hat-trick and ranked first with [-] goals.
