Chapter 147 The Crazy Transfer Market

With the arrival of June, the 2016 French European Cup has officially begun.

Among the major national team competitions, the European Cup attracts a lot of attention, basically second only to the World Cup.

So fans have another game to watch.

Only three players in the Lyon team participated in this European Cup, namely Anthony Lopez representing Portugal, Lacazette and Umtiti representing France.

However, among the three, only Umtiti is the main force of the French team, and the other two are substitutes.

Anthony Lopez has long been unable to compete with Patricio in the Portuguese national team and has always been the second goalkeeper.

Not to mention Lacazette.

French strikers are full of talents. Even if Benzema is absent, Deschamps still has no shortage of strikers.

If it weren't for Lyon's overall performance in the last two seasons is really good, Lacazette would not even have the opportunity to be a substitute.

Just as the European Cup was in full swing, Zhang Chaoqiang had returned to China and had just gotten off the plane.

"Welcome Brother Qiangzi home!"

As soon as he walked out of the airport, Zhang Chaoqiang saw the sign held high by the fans.

Zhang Chaoqiang originally returned to China in a low-key manner, but interested fans still guessed his itinerary and blocked him at the airport.

Fortunately, there are not many people.

Zhang Chaoqiang pulled Annie out with a smile and waved, and the fans followed.

Anyway, there were not many people, so Zhang Chaoqiang just dealt with it and signed autographs for them.

"Brother Qiangzi, where are you going to play next season?"

"Go to the Premier League or La Liga?"

"No matter where Brother Qiangzi goes, we will always support him."

This group of people was very enthusiastic. Zhang Chaoqiang said after dealing with it for 2 minutes: "Thank you for your support, but my father is still waiting for me outside, so I will leave first."

Take Annie to walk up a section, and soon see the father who picks up the plane.

"Those people were waiting at the airport very early. I was worried about being seen by them, so I stayed far away..." the father explained helplessly.

Since Zhang Chaoqiang played a beautiful season last season, the life of Zhang Chaoqiang's parents has also been affected.

At present, their family has changed their residence, and the canteen has also given over to acquaintances.

Of course, Zhang Chaoqiang paid for the house.

After getting in the car, his father drove Zhang Chaoqiang to his new home.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend Annie..."

Zhang Chaoqiang gave a brief introduction, and Annie also stepped forward and said, "Auntie, hello..."

Since the two got together, Zhang Chaoqiang has been teaching Annie to speak Chinese.

Although she can't speak a few words until now, but at least the few words she can say, Anne's articulation is quite decent.

"Annie, hello, hello."

"My meal has been prepared long ago. You must be hungry after flying for more than ten hours. Hurry up and prepare your meal..."

My mother completely ignored Zhang Chaoqiang, and pulled Annie into the house.

Zhang Chaoqiang could only smile wryly to himself, and hurriedly followed him as an interpreter.

※※※

After returning home, Zhang Chaoqiang worked as an interpreter for several days.

When Annie became familiar with the Chinese environment and her mother began to take her to see the customs, Zhang Chaoqiang was liberated.

He began to find a place to train and maintain his state.

After all attributes are above 80, the benefits of stealing attributes are no longer so high, and naturally need more training to improve yourself.

In fact, Zhang Chaoqiang has discussed with his agent that he will find a professional trainer next season.

Although the team has a trainer, there are too many players to take care of, so it is better to hire one yourself.

With Zhang Chaoqiang's personal training, the domestic media has another topic of coverage.

"Brother Qiangzi continues to pursue progress and practice crazily during the holidays"

"Never relax during holidays, this is the secret of Zhang Chaoqiang's success"

Among various reports, domestic players were whipped to death again.

After all, as long as training, professionalism and other topics are mentioned, domestic players are always the object of ridicule.

At the same time, the report is also discussing where Zhang Chaoqiang is most likely to go next season.

Even many Chinese media have already summarized Zhang Chaoqiang's career in Lyon.

13/14赛季，张超强在里昂出场9次，贡献了3球3助攻。

14/15赛季，张超强在里昂出场52次，贡献了30球17助攻。

15/16赛季，张超强在里昂出场49次，贡献了48球20助攻。

After three seasons, Zhang Chaoqiang played 110 times in Lyon, contributing 81 goals and 40 assists.

This is quite a gorgeous data.

If only counting the Ligue 77 league, Zhang Chaoqiang played 50 times in three years and scored [-] goals.

With 77 Ligue 123 games, Zhang Chaoqiang surpassed Shao Jiayi and Yang Chen to become the Chinese player with the second most appearances in the five major leagues, second only to Sun Jihai who played [-] games.

With 50 goals at the same time, this is undoubtedly China's first.

Even in the entire history of Asian football, Zhang Chaoqiang's number of goals is second only to Cha Fangen, and he is the second-most Asian player in the five major leagues.

On the scoring list of the five major leagues of Asian players, Cha Bum-geun continues to lead by a large margin with 98 goals. Zhang Chaoqiang directly ranked second with 32 goals due to his 50 goals in Ligue [-] this season.

Then came Sun Xingmin with 45 goals, Shinji Okazaki with 42 goals, and Shinji Kagawa with 41 goals.

Except for Cha Fangen among the top five, the other four are all active players.

And in the five major leagues this season, the four are the best Asian players.

Shinji Kagawa scored 9 goals and 9 assists in the Bundesliga, and was selected into the best team of the Bundesliga season.

Shinji Okazaki won the championship with Leicester City as the main striker. Although he only scored 5 Premier League goals, he became the third Asian player to win the Premier League title after Park Ji-sung and Shinji Kagawa.

Sun Xingmin scored fewer goals. He only scored 4 goals in the first season of the Premier League, but he can quickly win the main position in Tottenham, which is also a very good performance.

As for Zhang Chaoqiang, let alone.

The Ligue [-] silver boots and the Champions League silver boots are simply explosive performances.

In the sports media of Asian countries, Zhang Chaoqiang has always been a hot figure and has received attention for a long time.

Only South Korean black fans are upset. Seeing that Zhang Chaoqiang is getting more and more proud, not only has the total number of goals surpassed Sun Xingmin, but even Cha Bum-geun may be surpassed in two years.

So they found the topic again.

Once Zhang Chaoqiang leaves Ligue [-], the number of goals will definitely drop sharply.

After all, the styles of different leagues are different. Just like Sun Xingmin went from the Bundesliga to the Premier League, the scoring data dropped very obviously.

So as long as Sun Xingmin seizes the opportunity, he still has a good chance to overtake Zhang Chaoqiang next season and return to second place.

※※※

When Zhang Chaoqiang was preparing for domestic training, the European Cup gradually came to an end.

The host team, the French team, performed very bravely and made it all the way to the final. It looked like a champion.

Especially in the semi-finals, defeating the old enemy Germany 2:0 won praise from the media.

But in the final, facing Portugal, who had bumped into the promotion, the French team couldn't break through for a long time, and finally lost to Portugal in overtime.

I have to say that this is indeed a European Cup full of drama.

Following the Champions League final, Griezmann lost to Ronaldo in the European Cup final.

Fortunately, this time, Griezmann won the European Cup Golden Boot with 6 goals.

After the European Cup is over, everyone will turn their attention to the summer transfer market.

The French team narrowly lost in the European Cup final, but Pogba's performance was quite good.

Coupled with the cumulative performance of the previous two seasons, Pogba has become a super fish in the transfer market.

Both Manchester United and Real Madrid have expressed great interest in Pogba.

Given that Juventus itself is a wealthy family and not short of money, they don't really want to sell Pogba.

This led to Pogba being hyped to hundreds of millions of transfer fees in the transfer market.

Such a transfer fee can definitely be called crazy.

You must know that there has never been a transfer transaction worth over [-] million euros in world football.

In addition to Pogba, Zhang Chaoqiang is also a super big fish in the transfer market.

Lyon chairman Aulas said that Zhang Chaoqiang's value is not lower than that of Pogba.

In other words, Zhang Chaoqiang would have to sell for [-] million.

European media have said that today's transfer market is simply too crazy.

In one summer, there might be two billion-dollar deals.
