Chapter 137 Killing Emperor Saren

At the end of the game, players from both teams hugged each other.

The Bayern players were all frustrated, while the Lyon players were all smiling.

When embracing Bayern coach Guardiola, the big bald head patted Zhang's super strong back hard, and said, "Little guy, you did a good job tonight."

"Thank you." Zhang Chaoqiang resisted the itching of his hands, and did not touch the big shiny bald head.

In the post-match press conference, Guardiola was the absolute favorite.

As early as the winter break, Guardiola and Bayern completed a two-way breakup. Both parties announced that they would not renew their contracts, and they broke up peacefully at the end of the season.

So this season is Guardiola's last season in charge of Bayern.

The reason why the two sides broke up is mainly due to the unsatisfactory results in the Champions League.

For other teams, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League every year is a very good result.

But for Huang Saren's level, as long as he does not win the Champions League, it is not considered a success.

In the first two seasons, Bayern lost to Real Madrid and Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

This season was even worse, and they were eliminated by Dark Marion in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Of course, the media would not let the bald head go, and kept asking him difficult questions.

Guardiola was forced to have no choice but to praise Lyon's performance.

"Lyon are a great team, they have a lot of experience in the Champions League and in this series they played flawlessly so they qualified."

"Super Zhang is undoubtedly a phenomenon-level player. His performance reminds me of Shevchenko back then. He just made his debut but made a big splash in the Champions League. The more he faces the strong team, the better his performance."

"Maybe in a few years, Zhang is expected to be the best player in the world."

The so-called best player in the world naturally refers to the Golden Globe Award or World Footballer who can win the player's highest personal honor.

If you win that thing, it can be called the No.1 in world football of the year.

That's quite a compliment.

But when it was Lyon's press conference, Lyon captain Gonalons said more exaggeratedly:

"Zhang has a cool head, great speed, and always behaves rationally and intelligently on the court. He can always lead the team, complete some crazy goals and incredible victories."

"I think he's going to be the best player in football history..."

The so-called best player in history refers to the king of the ball.

The king of the ball is the Chinese fans' code name for the best player in history, which is the level of Pele Maradona.

This almost blows Zhang Chaoqiang to the sky.

※※※

On the second day after the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Zhang Chaoqiang once again made the headlines on the front page of L'Equipe.

"The Lion King reversed Bayern at home, and the crazy super Zhang Tong killed Huang Saren"

In all competitions this season, Zhang Chaoqiang has indeed led Lyon to kill Huang Saren.

In the European Super Cup, Zhang Chaoqiang led the team to beat Barcelona 5:4 to win the championship with a hat-trick and assists.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, although Lyon failed to compete against Real Madrid and only finished second in the group, Lyon successfully defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home, and Zhang Chaoqiang scored the only goal of the game.

Now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Zhang Chaoqiang helped Lyon eliminate Bayern 3:2 with two shots and one pass.

This is the real season pass kill Huang Saren.

What no player in football history has ever done in a single season was accomplished by Zhang Chaoqiang.

The closest to this performance before is Shevchenko mentioned by Guardiola.

In the 97/98 season, Shevchenko wore a cap against Barcelona in the Champions League group stage, and it was done at Barcelona's home court, Camp Nou.

It may be because Guardiola was the captain of Barcelona at the time, so he never forgets Shevchenko.

However, Dynamo Kiev was eliminated by Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season.

But in the 98/99 season of the following year, Dynamo Kiev made a comeback, defeated Arsenal in the Champions League group stage, and eliminated the defending champion Real Madrid 3:1 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Shevchenko scored three goals in two rounds.

Facing Bayern in the Champions League semi-final, Dynamo Kiev narrowly lost 3:4 on aggregate, but Andriy Shevchenko still bravely scored twice in the home game against Bayern.

It can be said that Shevchenko was absolutely crazy output back then. Barcelona and Real Madrid were conceded three goals, and Bayern also scored two goals.

Huang Saren was poured a total of eight goals by Shevchenko.

This is even stronger than Zhang Chaoqiang, Zhang Chaoqiang only scored six goals for Huang Saren.

But Shevchenko took two seasons to complete this task, while Zhang Chaoqiang achieved the kill in one season.

Of course, Shevchenko's kills are all in the Champions League, and Zhang Chaoqiang can only use the European Super Cup to make up the number.

In China, fans are once again discussing Zhang Chaoqiang's explosive performance.

"Chelsea: I have said that Lyon is very strong, you still don't believe it."

"Haha, that's exactly what Chelsea fans are saying."

"Unexpectedly, Bayern was out, and Chelsea got a name."

"The main reason is that Brother Qiangzi is too aggressive."

"It's too fierce, too fierce."

"Even the number one favorite in the Champions League was overthrown by Brother Qiangzi. I just want to ask, who else?"

"Emperor Saren was all killed, and there is no one left."

"Do you think Brother Qiangzi has a chance to lead Leon to the end?"

"There is a chance, but not much."

"Barcelona is also out of the game, and now there is only one Real Madrid in the top four of the Champions League. I think Lyon's chances are not small."

"Let's wait for the results of the Champions League semi-final draw to come out."

※※※

In other games in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid also completed a counterattack.

They defeated Barcelona 2:0 at home with Griezmann's brace, and the total score of the two rounds reversed Barcelona 3:2 to advance.

This can be regarded as an upset game.

After all, Barcelona is the defending champion and the second favorite team to win.

But compared to Lyon's elimination of Bayern, Atletico Madrid's unpopularity is relatively lower.

According to the comparison of the strength of the teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Lyon's elimination of Bayern is the seventh and the first, while Atletico Madrid's elimination of Barcelona is the fourth and the second.

According to the comparison of the probability of winning, Lyon defeated 7% with 24%, and Atletico Madrid defeated 10% with 22%.

Huang Saren's three top giants, now only one Real Madrid is left.

Real Madrid had a big upset in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, losing 0:2 away to Wolfsburg.

Everyone thinks this is a performance without a champion.

After all, compared to Bayern Barcelona, ​​which won the first round smoothly, Real Madrid's upset loss is indeed a bit eye-catching.

Unexpectedly, the second round was a two-level reversal.

Barcelona and Bayern were upset, and Real Madrid beat Wolfsburg 3:0 with Ronaldo's hat-trick, reversing and advancing with a total score of 3:2.

This time Real Madrid immediately became the favorite to win the Champions League.

In the last group of battles between Manchester City and Greater Paris, Manchester City finally had the last laugh.

Manchester City beat Paris 1-0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in team history.

I have to say that the performance of Greater Paris is a bit disappointing.

In terms of overall strength, they do not lose to Manchester City.

In terms of Champions League experience, they are richer than Manchester City.

In the Champions League in the past few years, Manchester City has been eliminated early every year, but Paris has entered the quarter-finals every year.

This year's quarter-finals happened to be drawn with Manchester City, and Paris once again habitually stopped, and could only watch Manchester City set a record.

This led to Ibrahimovic's soft feet in the Champions League being mentioned again.

In the first round of the home game of Paris, Ibrahimovic missed a penalty kick at the beginning.

Now that Paris has been eliminated, the fans have made assumptions again.

If Ibrahimovic could have scored that penalty, the entire series could have gone completely differently.

With the end of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the two losing coaches of Blanco and Guardiola were continuously named by the media.

Blanco has led the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years. Many French media have said that the Qataris have completely lost patience and will soon expel Blanco and re-select the coach.

Guardiola was eliminated because he was eliminated, but his new club successfully advanced.

After officially announcing his breakup with Bayern, Guardiola quickly confirmed that he would go to the Premier League to coach Manchester City next season.

But the current situation is a bit embarrassing. Guardiola led Bayern to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Manchester City successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

So the English media frantically dissed Guardiola, and even suggested that Manchester City quickly break the contract, and renewing the contract with the current coach Pellegrini is the correct decision.

Many fans also joined in the fun, suggesting that UEFA allow Lyon and Manchester City to meet in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which will be more topical.

If Manchester City eliminates Lyon, Guardiola will be even more embarrassed.

At the same time, the media also noticed that in this season's Champions League quarter-finals and four groups, the total score was 3:2, and the 3:2 was played in different ways.

Lyon and Bayern were 0:1 in the first leg and 3:1 in the second leg.

Real Madrid and Wolfsburg were 0:2 in the first round and 3:0 in the second round.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are 1:2 in the first round and 2:0 in the second round.

Manchester City and Paris are 2:2 in the first leg and 1:0 in the second leg.

The top eight all played the same total score, which is the first time in the history of the Champions League.

In addition, in the UEFA Champions League scorer list, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is wearing a cap at home, has scored 16 goals and continues to be far ahead.

16 goals in the Champions League in a single season, which created the second record in the history of the Champions League.

The first record is 17 goals, which was also created by Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League in the 13/14 season.

After Zhang Chaoqiang scored twice in the second round of the quarter-finals, he tied for second in the scorer list with Lewandowski with 9 goals.

Because he is too far behind Ronaldo, it is basically impossible for Zhang Chaoqiang to covet the Champions League Golden Boot.

But there are at least two games left, and he has a chance to overtake Lewandowski for second place.
