Chapter 27 Surprise
"Zhang, nice to meet you, how about we exchange jerseys?"

At the end of the game, Astra's Japanese players ran over to find Zhang Chaoqiang to exchange jerseys, which made him a little flattered.

"Ok."

Zhang Chaoqiang felt that he performed well in this game, so he readily agreed.

Lyon defeated Giurgiu Astra 2:1 at home, taking the lead in the two rounds of play-offs ahead of schedule.

But let the opponent get an away goal, Lyon must be careful in the second round, otherwise there will be a risk of overturning.

Perhaps because of this, Fournier publicly criticized Lindsay Rose for making mistakes in the locker room after the game.

This is the first time he has publicly criticized players in the locker room.

Rose is indeed a bit unreliable. In the last two games, he made obvious mistakes and lost the ball.

Fournier originally wanted to form a central defender combination of Rose and Umtiti, but it does not seem to be very successful so far.

Both were a bit rash, but Ross was far less gifted than Umtiti.

"Zhang Chaoqiang scored his first European goal, Lyon won 2:1 at home"

"Brother Qiangzi scored with a supplementary shot and became the third Chinese player to score in the European competition"

"Lightning scored in the opening 4 minutes, Zhang Chaoqiang showed his power again in the European competition"

Zhang Chaoqiang scored a goal in the Europa League qualifying match, and he scored against the underdogs in Eastern Europe. This is nothing remarkable in the Lyon team.

After all, he has performed well since he got the opportunity last season.

But in China, this is not a small news.

Many sports media reported on it and wished Zhang Chaoqiang his first European goal.

At the same time, the fans also actively joined the discussion and looked forward to the future together.

"I hope the main match will start soon, and I can't wait to see Brother Qiangzi score in the Europa League main match."

"Don't get excited too early, the first round is only a 2:1 lead, Lyon still needs to be careful."

"If even an Eastern European underdog is eliminated, Fournier can't even compare with Gard, so he can take the blame and resign."

"You can't say that. Brother Qiangzi is obviously very popular under Fournier. He is a proper main striker. Based on this alone, he is a hundred times stronger than Gard."

"After the game, Little Japan actually took the initiative to ask Brother Qiangzi to change his jersey."

"This is called professionalism. During the game, he has been following Brother Qiangzi's ass to eat ashes, but after the game, he went up to change his jersey as if nothing had happened."

"It's a big loss. This should be the first time in Qiangzi's career that he has exchanged jerseys with someone, but it's cheap for Little Japan."

"In the future, when Brother Qiangzi becomes a big football star, won't Little Japan make a lot of money?"

"I hope Lyon will play well this season, and watch Brother Qiangzi perform in the Champions League next season..."

※※※

This season Lyon needs to participate in four competitions, namely Ligue [-], Europa League, French Cup, French League Cup, standard four-line battle.

But Fournier's goal is very clear, everything is based on Ligue [-].

Strive to win the top three in the league and help Lyon return to the Champions League.

As long as this goal can be achieved, all the other three events can be given up.

However, in Zhang Chaoqiang's heart, he attaches great importance to the Europa League.

It's a European competition after all.

In addition, UEFA has released the latest European war restructuring plan, one of which is that the winner of the Europa League will automatically get a place in the Champions League next season.

In other words, if Lyon can win the Europa League this season, then there is no need to worry about the Champions League quota if they fail to make the top three in Ligue [-].

However, Fournier obviously does not want to bet on the slim chance of winning the Europa League, but wants to put Bao in the league with a greater chance.

It is well known that Ligue [-] teams are not good at European competitions.

On August 8, in the third round of Ligue 24, Lyon played against the newly promoted Marens at home.

Although Lens has played in the low-level leagues for most of the history of the team, they won the Ligue 97 championship in the 98/[-] season.

And four years later, in the 01/02 season, they almost won the Ligue [-] title again, but were stopped by Lyon.

At that time, the last round of Ligue [-] happened to be the top battle, and the second-ranked Lyon played against the first-ranked Lens at home.

With a one-point lead, Lens only needs to draw to win the championship, but unfortunately lost to Lyon 1:3.

So from then on, Lyon officially started the great journey of seven consecutive Ligue [-] championships.

Lens, on the other hand, became a lifter after the failure of that championship, wandering to Ligue [-] for two laps and coming back in more than ten years.

For Lyon fans, Lens is an opponent who can bring back fond memories.

The deeds of winning the championship against Lens for more than ten years seem to be in sight.

But for the players on both sides of the field, everyone is very unfamiliar. This is a brand new game.

[You start stealing the day from Vilan Cyprian, outbreak +2]

After the cooldown of stealing the day and changing the day, Zhang Chaoqiang routinely steals attributes.

The game officially started, and Lyon first launched a symbolic attack to see how well the opponent is doing.

If this newly promoted team is really not up to the task, Na Ang will increase the firepower and overturn the opponent.

Lens' defense did a good job, and Lyon's two consecutive attempts to attack failed to produce actual results.

Then Lance also came to a wave of probing attacks, which immediately received miraculous effects.

In the 13th minute, Lens' Tunisian striker Tuzgal took the ball in the front court and tried to send a long oblique pass.

I don't know whether it was a mistake or a good foot feel, so he directly pulled out a curved ball with a full moon scimitar and successfully bypassed Lyon's defense.

On the other side of the field, Lens midfielder Norman Yanahari followed up desperately, unloading the ball before Umtiti, and the football rolled into the dead corner of Lyon's goal.

The Lyon fans in the Gerland stands were stunned.

Facing a newly promoted horse at home, and it is a newly promoted horse that they have fond memories of, they thought they would win easily, but they conceded the goal first.

The commentator on French TV also ridiculed Lyon: "Fournier is a defensive coach, but he has conceded goals in five of the six games since he coached Lyon."

Zhang Chaoqiang on the court knew very well that no one could really be blamed for conceding the ball this time.

It's completely because the opponent played well, and he couldn't prevent it at all.

In this game, Fournier has put Lindsay Rose on the bench, and arranged for Serbian central defender Bicevac and Umtiti to start as partners.

Bicevac is an ordinary central defender with slow speed and slow turn, but he is experienced and more stable, which is more reliable than Rose.

Lens took the lead in scoring the goal, and then, without any surprise, set up a bucket formation.

As a newly promoted team that has lost two rounds in the first round, Lens is very clear about his position.

Relegation!

So as long as they can get points, they are willing to put in any effort.

30 minutes passed, 50 minutes passed, 70 minutes passed.

Lyon tried various methods, but there was nothing he could do with Lens, who was always defending the penalty area.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang thought of Fekir. If that guy was there, at least the team would have more offensive tactics.

[The effect of the talent "Mr. Key" activates, temporarily all attributes +6]

When 80 minutes came, Zhang Chaoqiang got his first attribute bonus.

Now he hopes to find opportunities under the talent bonus to help the team save the situation.

But after 90 minutes passed, he still didn't find a good chance.

[The effect of the talent "Mr. Key" activates again, temporarily all attributes +6]

In 3 minutes of stoppage time, Zhang Chaoqiang has received a temporary bonus of 12 points to all attributes.

Lyon once again attacked the Lens half, Tolisso took the ball to organize, but was frantically pressed by the Lens players.

Worried about the opponent losing the ball, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly retreated to catch the ball.

Five meters away from the penalty area, Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass that Tolisso finally picked out.

Seeing that the Lens players did not follow immediately, Zhang Chaoqiang turned around decisively and flicked the ball forward.

Step on the left foot and raise the right leg high.

Direct long shot!

It's already this time, and any chance to hit the goal should be tried.

What's more, Zhang Chaoqiang has the talent bonus of Mr. Key, and he believes that his attempts must be more reliable than his teammates.

Zhang Chaoqiang's right leg whipped down like an iron whip, sending the football out with a bang.

Rushing to defend Lens defender Ge Bamin, he felt a black shadow flying towards him with the sound of the wind, and was so frightened that he dodged subconsciously.

After the football passed over Gbamin's head, it quickly lifted into the air, crossed the Lens penalty area, and then fell rapidly.

Lens goalkeeper Leo judged the flight path of the football, took half a step and rushed towards it.

But the football easily bypassed his fingers and flew straight behind him.

boom! ! !
The echo of the crossbar being hit hard resounded throughout the audience.

After the football was refracted by the lower edge of the crossbar, it rushed directly into the net.

"Goooooooooal———"

"World Wave!! Super Zhang World Wave!!"

"A very beautiful long-range world wave goal, Zhang equalized for Lyon!"

"This is a very crucial goal, an unquestionably equal goal!"

"Zhang's first goal in Ligue [-] in the new season is a surprise for everyone!"

"He's the kind of player who always surprises everyone at critical moments."

It was indeed a surprise.

The entire Lyon team, from the players to the fans to the coach, was ready to lose at home, but Zhang Chaoqiang's goal pulled them back.

However, the Lyon team did not spend too much time celebrating, because the game is not over yet, and everyone still has to fight for three points.

Zhang Chaoqiang's goal occurred in the 92nd minute of the game, and there was still a little time left.

If you hurry up, there may be a possibility of reversing the game.

It's a pity that Lens' defense is still tenacious and seems to be completely unaffected by Zhang Chaoqiang's world wave.

After all, they are a team whose main goal is relegation.

It is good to be able to get three points, but it is also acceptable to get one point if you can't get three points.

So in front of the iron barrel line that Lens continued to stick to, the Lyon generals still failed to reverse the game.

Zhang Chaoqiang scored an absolute world wave, and Lyon drew 1:1 with Lens at home.
