Chapter 145 Ligue [-] Grand Slam

Due to the European Cup in the summer, the five major leagues in the 2015/16 season all ended at the same time in mid-May.

The Ligue [-] champion is PSG, the Bundesliga champion is Bayern Munich, the Serie A champion is Juventus, and the La Liga champion is Barcelona.

The ownership of the championship of these four leagues is not surprising.

Only the Premier League is the most amazing. It was the little-known Leicester City who unexpectedly won the final championship.

Before leading the Greek national team to lose to the amateur team Faroe Islands, Tinker Ranieri suffered a waterloo in his coaching career, so he went to the Premier League to lead the relegation team after a half-year break.

Unexpectedly, he used this to make a beautiful turnaround.

It is a miracle that Leicester City, which could only barely relegation in the Premier League last season, won the Premier League under the leadership of Ranieri.

The Tinker thus received all kinds of praise, and his reputation was instantly restored.

When Zhang Chaoqiang was preparing for the French Cup final, he was also caught by Chinese reporters and asked two questions about the Premier League champion.

"The Premier League is indeed a magical league. The competition there is very fierce. I may also play in the Premier League in the future."

At present, Chinese fans are most concerned about the transfer of Zhang Chaoqiang, and where will Qiangzi's next stop be.

The Premier League is the prime candidate.

※※※

A week passed quickly, and on May 5, the French Cup final day arrived.

"Welcome to the Stade de France. This is the site of the 2015/16 French Cup final. Tonight's final is between Lyon and Marseille."

"Marseille is the team that has won the most championships in the history of the French Cup. They have won the French Cup ten times."

"Lyon has also won five championships in the history of the team, second only to Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Lille and Saint-Etienne."

"If Marseille can successfully win this game, they will continue to consolidate their No.1 position, and if Lyon wins the championship, they will tie with Lille and Saint-Etienne and be tied for the third team with the French Cup."

"However, for Marseille, in addition to competing for the championship, they also undertake the task of qualifying for the European competition next season."

"Marseille is only ranked No.13 in the Ligue [-] standings this season. If they do not win the French Cup, they will miss the European competition next season."

Before the start of the game, the French commentator talked about the criticality of the game.

The Chinese commentators talked more about Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Zhang Chaoqiang has won the Ligue [-] championship, the French League Cup, and the French Super Cup with Lyon before. As long as he successfully wins the French Cup in this game, he will be able to complete the Ligue [-] career Grand Slam."

"In addition, Zhang Chaoqiang is likely to leave the team during the summer transfer period, so this game will be the curtain call of Lyon's Golden Double Guns."

"After Zhang Chaoqiang, there will be no more golden guns in Lyon!"

The game officially started, and Lyon quickly took the initiative at the Stade de France.

Marseille has been turbulent this season, leading to a long-term bad state of the team.

Ligue 13 ranks No.[-], that is proof.

However, in the first three and 10 minutes of the game, Marseille's overall defense was not bad, and they barely withstood Lyon's offensive.

But only there.

In the 32nd minute, Lyon quickly advanced to the frontcourt after stealing the ball from the midfielder. Tolisso took the ball and pushed it with his left foot and sent the ball to the right.

Zhang Chaoqiang accelerated after receiving the ball and quickly entered the Marseille penalty area.

With one kick and another buckle, he quickly and smoothly shook the Spanish defender Manquillo in front of him, and kicked directly to hit the goal.

Zhang Chaoqiang kicked the football with the inside of his left foot, and the shot felt very good.

Sure enough, the football was pulled out in a big arc, spinning around the Marseille players, and spinning straight to the far end of the goal.

Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda immediately flew to save, but could not touch the ball at all.

The football hit the far post with a bang and bounced straight into the net.

"Goooooooooooal————————" the French commentary cheered instantly.

"Super Zhang!! A beautiful shot and scored, he opened the scoring for Lyon!!"

"Lyon has been taking the initiative on the field for half an hour, and finally succeeded in scoring a goal after a continuous attack, and Lyon's star Super Zhang completed the goal."

At the same time, the Chinese commentator talked about Zhang Chaoqiang's record.

"This game is Zhang Chaoqiang's debut in the French Cup, and this goal is also Zhang Chaoqiang's first goal in the French Cup."

"At least in terms of goals, Zhang Chaoqiang has completed the Ligue [-] Grand Slam."

"The Ligue [-], the French Cup, the French League Cup, the French Super Cup, and Zhang Chaoqiang have all played and scored goals."

"Next, I hope he can win the championship smoothly, and then complete the Ligue [-] Grand Slam."

Speaking of which, Zhang Chaoqiang played for Lyon for three seasons. In addition to his many appearances in the league and European competition, he only played once in the French domestic cup.

The French League Cup only played one final, which was the time when Paris was reversed.

The French Super Cup itself has only one game, so naturally it can only be played once.

The French Cup is the same now, the first appearance is the final.

And in all three games, he scored goals.

※※※

Lyon scored the first goal, and the Marseille players tried to launch a counterattack.

Although the overall situation is bad, the Marseille players still want to end this turbulent season with a championship.

But just a few minutes later, Lyon hit them again.

In the 41st minute, Lyon quickly counterattacked and hit the Marseille penalty area.

Zhang Chaoqiang caught the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, and quickly flipped it with the toe of his right foot in a half-turned posture.

"Good pass!! Beautiful!!" The French commentary cheered again.

Zhang Chaoqiang half-turned and picked the ball, and the football went straight behind Marseille's defense.

Lacazette, who has accelerated on the other side, quickly plugs in and takes the ball directly to form a single pole.

The next step is a simple one-handed goal to expand the score.

"Lyon's double guns penetrated Marseille's defense with a very tacit cooperation. Lyon already led by two goals in the first half."

"At present, Lyon's golden double guns each score a goal. This is the favorite and most common scene of Lyon fans."

"Unfortunately, after the end of this season, Lyon's Golden Double Gun is likely to fall apart..."

The words of the French commentator aroused the emotions of the fans, and the Lyon fans in the Stade de France began to shout again.

"Super Zhang!! Stay!!!"

"Super Zhang!! Stay!!!"

At the same time, in the countless fans bars in downtown Lyon, the Lyon fans who were watching the final also shouted in unison.

Zhang Chaoqiang's passing performance helped Lyon lead 2:0 at halftime. During the intermission, Fournier asked the players to slow down in the second half and win the game steadily.

This is the last game of the season, and it would be bad if a player gets injured or something.

Especially Zhang Chaoqiang, once injured, it will affect the transfer.

So throughout the second half Lyon worked hard to slow down the pace and stabilize the score advantage.

Although Marseille made continuous substitutions and adjustments, it still didn't work very well.

However, Lyon failed to expand the score.

So the second half of the game passed in a slightly dull manner.

When the game time was up, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The whole game is over. Congratulations to Zhang Chaoqiang. With his excellent performance of one pass and one shot, he helped Lyon beat Marseille 2-0 and successfully won the French Cup this season."

"With this championship, Zhang Chaoqiang has officially completed the Ligue [-] career championship grand slam."

"Next, he should go to meet new challenges..."

In China, both fans and people in the football industry basically believe that Zhang Chaoqiang has little room for improvement in Lyon and Ligue [-], and it is time to change teams and change leagues.
