Chapter 146 Player of the Season

After winning the French Cup, the Lyon team celebrated wildly at the Stade de France.

Back in Lyon, the club arranged another small celebration.

For the Lyon club, the French Cup champion is already a very important champion, and it is worth celebrating.

What's more, at the beginning of this season, Lyon also won the French Super Cup and the European Super Cup, and now they can move out the two trophies together to celebrate.

After a simple celebration, Lyon's 2015/16 season is completely over.

Everyone started to go their separate ways, and Zhang Chaoqiang was also preparing to return to China.

Within two days, the Champions League final of this season was officially held at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid drew 1:1 in the final. Finally, through a penalty shootout, Real Madrid successfully won the No. 11 Champions League title in team history.

Ronaldo did not score in the final, but he still won the Champions League Golden Boot this season with 16 goals.

Zhang Chaoqiang naturally won the silver boot with 10 goals, and also successfully won the assist king with 6 assists.

It has to be said that in this Champions League final, Atletico Madrid lost the championship again.

The loss was not only due to the penalty shootout, but also because Real Madrid's goal was suspected of being seriously offside.

At that time, Real Madrid won a free kick from the wing, Kroos took the free kick, Bell took off and rubbed the football slightly in the middle, and then Ramos pushed forward and scored.

The moment Kroos took a free kick, Ramos was of course not offside.

But when Bell rubbed the ball, Ramos was already in an offside position.

But the England referee Clattenburg in the final stood a little far away and couldn't see clearly, and the linesman didn't raise the flag, so Clattenburg hesitated for two seconds and whistled for the goal to be valid.

There are no video assistant referees in this era. For those specious goals, many times we can only rely on the referee's feeling to make judgments.

However, Atletico Madrid also received some compensation.

At the beginning of the second half, Clattenburg immediately blew a very reluctant penalty to Atletico Madrid.

At that time, Torres had been blocked by Pepe, and then fell to the ground in a confrontation. The referee gave a penalty for no reason.

This is obviously looking for compensation.

Obviously during the halftime break, the referee team reviewed the goals scored in the first half and knew that they had misjudged, so they recovered a penalty for Atletico Madrid in the second half.

Many referees will do this. After confirming that they have misjudged, they deliberately find a penalty for the loser.

It's a pity that Griezmann didn't live up to it and kicked the penalty kick on the crossbar.

It is precisely because of this that Atletico Madrid drew with Real Madrid 1:1 in the final and eventually fell to a penalty shootout.

This is probably the fateful ending.

After losing this final, Atletico Madrid became the only team in Europe that entered the Champions League final three times but never won the championship.

By the way, before the Champions League final, this season's Europa League final has also been decided.

Sevilla reversed Liverpool 3:1 in the final, completing the achievement of winning the Europa League twice in three years.

In fact, if it wasn't for meeting Zhang Chaoqiang in the final last season, Sevilla would have every chance to win the Europa League three consecutive times.

It was the appearance of Zhang Chaoqiang that interrupted their three consecutive championships.

With the end of the UEFA Champions League final, the 2015/16 season of the mainstream European leagues has officially come to an end.

Before the arrival of the European Cup, the media will naturally have various inventory.

The French "L'Equipe" also published an inventory article - "Super Shooter Continuous Eruption Season".

In the history of the five major leagues, a total of 40 goals have been scored in all competitions in a single season, which is definitely the performance of a super shooter.

In previous seasons, there were not many such super shooters.

Even with Ronaldo and Messi, most of the seasons can only be done by the two of them.

But this season, there are quite a few players in European football who have scored more than 40 goals, a total of six.

In order of the number of goals scored are:

Suarez, who scored 53 goals in 59 games;

Ronaldo scored 48 goals in 51 games;
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored 50 goals in 49 games;
Zhang Chaoqiang, who scored 49 goals in 48 games;
Lewandowski, who scored 50 goals in 42 games;

Messi scored 49 goals in 41 games.

There are six super shooters in one season, which is definitely the first time in the history of the five major leagues.

And it was the case when Higuain was stopped outside the threshold.

Higuain scored 36 goals in Serie A this season and won the Serie A Golden Boot by breaking the Serie A scoring record.

Serie A alone scored 36 goals, and Higuain had a good chance of breaking 40 total goals.

But he only scored 2 goals in other games, and the cumulative number of goals stopped at 38 goals, which is a pity.

But in any case, the 2015/16 season was indeed a season of super-scorer explosion.

Zhang Chaoqiang was among them and ranked fourth.

The key is that he is only 21 years old, much younger than everyone else, and this is the biggest advantage.

In the report, "Team Daily" also analyzed the scoring data of each player separately.

For Zhang Chaoqiang, his 48 goals came from five competitions.

Ligue 34 played 32 times and contributed 12 goals and [-] assists.

He played 12 times in the Champions League and contributed 10 goals and 6 assists.

The French Cup played 1 time and contributed 1 goal and 1 assist.

Made 1 appearance in the French Super Cup and contributed 2 goals.

He played 1 time in the UEFA Super Cup and contributed 3 goals and 1 assist.

A total of 49 appearances in all competitions this season, contributed 48 goals and 20 assists.

At the end of the season, Zhang Chaoqiang went to Paris to attend the official Ligue [-] season award ceremony before preparing to return to China.

At the awards ceremony, Zhang Chaoqiang was undoubtedly selected as the best team of the season.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected gains.

"The best player in Ligue 2015 in the 16/[-] season is Super Zhang!!" The host read out the final award, which Zhang Chaoqiang himself did not expect.

Originally he thought the award would go to Ibrahimovic.

After all, in terms of the number of goals scored, the Swedish Gao Guy beat Zhang Chaoqiang's 38 goals with 32 goals.

In terms of team honor, Paris beat Lyon to win the championship.

Unexpectedly, the Ligue [-] officials are quite good at making things happen, and actually awarded the award to the "runner-up" Zhang Chaoqiang.

It may be because he won too many impression points in the Champions League, so he can beat Ibrahimovic to win the award.

But in principle, this is an independent award and should not be affected by the performance of the Champions League.

Despite some surprises, Zhang Chaoqiang got up quickly and took the stage to accept the award with a smile.

When passing by, he saw Ibrahimovic with a displeased face.

"I would like to thank the French Professional Football League for awarding me this award. This is the best affirmation of my hard work throughout the season."

"From the day I stepped on the pitch in Ligue [-], I have been aspiring to win the Ligue [-] title, to be the best player in Ligue [-]."

"Today, both of my dreams have come true."

"The Ligue [-] is a great league. I have spent three wonderful seasons here. I hope that Ligue [-] will become better and more popular in the future..."

Before participating in the award ceremony, Zhang Chaoqiang did not prepare his award speech.

Fortunately, he still organized a set of temporary rhetoric.

But unconsciously, the words carried the meaning of farewell.

So the French media have thought of the title of the report-"Super Zhang's award speech, farewell to Ligue [-]".
