Rebirth Football Simulator

Chapter 3 Debut
The competition in the Gerland Stadium was fierce, and the fans swayed their enthusiasm wantonly, shouting for the home team frantically.

On the other hand, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tolisso, who were warming up on the sidelines, were interested in chatting.

"Zhang, do you think we will get a chance to play tonight?"

"Whether you can play or not, let's warm up before we talk..."

Both of them are marginal people under Gard's subordinates, and whether they can appear on the stage often depends on luck.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang knew in his heart that the probability of getting a chance should be higher than that of Tolisso, because of the existence of football simulators.

Of course, the premise is that the simulator can actually work.

Soon the game progressed to the 63rd minute. The home team Lyon took the lead in applying for a substitution adjustment. Forward Jimmy Brion came on the field to replace the former genius Yoan Gourcuff, who was once known as Zidane's successor.

At the same time, Lyon's tactical formation also changed from 442 to 433.

It's a pity that this substitution didn't have much effect, and Lyon's offense was still blocked.

On the contrary, Saint-Etienne's substitution in the 72nd minute had a miraculous effect.

Côte d'Ivoire striker Gradel came off the bench to replace Saint-Etienne's first-half goal scorer Erdinchi.

Just 5 minutes later, Gradel scored the goal of Lyon.

The front court dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and volleyed vigorously to score the goal.

Simple and straightforward, but like a sharp arrow piercing the hearts of Lyon fans.

Hush

The boos in the Gerland Stadium were not only given to the Côte d'Ivoire forward Gradel who was celebrating wildly, but also to the 47-year-old Lyon coach Remy Gard.

As a coach who was born in Lyon's youth training and once wore the Lyon captain's armband, Gard's coaching performance in Lyon can be described as no bright spot.

Not only is there no bright spot, but it is also full of slots.

In the first season of taking over the team, Gard successfully helped the team miss the Champions League. This was the first time Lyon missed the Champions League since 1999.

Fortunately, Gard was brave after knowing his shame. In the second season, he racked his brains and finally helped Lyon get No.3 in Ligue [-] and successfully won the Champions League qualification.

But this season, Gard's third season in charge of Lyon, the team's performance was once again below the expectations of the fans.

At the beginning of the season, they were eliminated by La Liga Real Sociedad in the Champions League qualifying match. This is the second time in the history of the Lyon team that they have been eliminated in the Champions League qualifying match.

At the same time, the team's performance in Ligue 10 is not satisfactory, and they have been blocked from the top three for a long time. They are currently [-] points behind Lille, which is third in Ligue [-], and have basically missed the Champions League next season.

What's worse, however, is that Lyon has been overtaken by arch-rival Saint-Etienne in the Ligue [-] standings due to losing points in recent rounds.

At present, Saint-Etienne's points are 3 points higher than Lyon. If this derby loses again, Lyon will be opened by Saint-Etienne by 6 points.

If you can't take advantage of the last few rounds of the league to reverse the rankings, there will be the first time since the 90s that the rankings will fall behind the archrivals at the end of the season.

This is another bloody record, a shameful record that Lyon fans will never accept.

It is precisely because of this that the fans attach great importance to this game.

If they win the derby, they will not only be able to tie with Saint-Etienne in terms of points, but also try to bite Lille as much as possible, retaining the last possibility of qualifying for the Champions League.

But now that Lyon is 1:2 behind at home, the fans are of course very angry and expressed their dissatisfaction with Gard with boos.

Although he is a star of the team, he has made a lot of contributions to Lyon.

But as things stand, Gard is really terrible at coaching.

※※※

The boos all over the field made Gard's face slightly flushed, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to direct the team to see if he could save the situation.

Even if the game cannot be reversed, at least try to equalize the score.

Although Saint-Etienne is known as the ten champions of Ligue 80, it has never risen since its decline in the [-]s, and it has never entered the Champions League.

If Saint-Etienne takes all three points after winning the Rhône Derby and wins another Champions League spot at the end of the season with these three points, Gard will definitely be scolded by Lyon fans for not even knowing his mother .

So equalizing the score is a remedy for the dead, and it can make Gard less pressure.

"Bruno, tell Gale to come on as a substitute." Gard didn't lose, at least when he gave the order, he was full of momentum.

"Then who will be replaced?" Genesio got up and asked.

"Replace Steed." Gard hesitated for a while before finally making a decision.

So soon Lyon made another substitution adjustment. Veteran Gail Danic came off the bench and replaced fellow veteran Steed Malblanco.

"This is a midfield substitution. It seems that Remy has nothing to do..." The commentator of the French TV station was obviously not optimistic about the substitution adjustment of the Lyon marshal.

Sure enough, after the substitution, Lyon still had nothing to do with Saint-Etienne, who mainly played defensive counterattacks.

After all, Saint-Etienne is the team with the third fewest goals conceded in Ligue 3 this season, second only to top Paris and No.[-] Lille.

Soon another 10 minutes passed, and Saint-Etienne had already begun to defend the goal, ready to withdraw.

At this time, Gard was sitting on the coach's bench scratching his head anxiously, but he still couldn't think of a way.

In fact, it is useless even if you think of a way, because the game time is about to reach 90 minutes, and there is no time to implement even the best tactics.

So inexplicably, Gard saw the Chinese forward who was warming up on the sidelines.

Suddenly, he thought "a flash of inspiration" in his mind: "Just give this kid the last substitution spot. Mr. Chairman has said many times to let me give him a chance, and let him play now to try."

"If I play well, I'll make the substitution. If I don't play well, I can let him help share some of the pressure."

The clever Gard immediately instructed the assistant: "Bruno, go and apply to the fourth official for our third substitution."

"Who?"

Genesio is very curious, the game is almost over, what is the use of substitutions at this time.

"Let Zhang play and replace Alexander." Gard replied immediately.

"Who will let it go?" Genesio even thought he had heard it wrong.

It's not that Genesio looks down on Zhang Chaoqiang, but he knows very well that Gard has always looked down on Zhang Chaoqiang.

If it weren't for the constant pressure from Chairman Aulas, the Chinese striker wouldn't even have a chance to enter Gard's squad for the game.

Now that he is actually scheduled to play at the last moment of the crucial derby, Genesio is really puzzled.

"Let Zhang play!"

Gard once again gave an affirmative answer, and Genesio had to arrange a substitution.

※※※

When Zhang Chaoqiang learned from the assistant coach that he was going to come off the bench, there was only one thought in his mind.

The emulator seems pretty reliable.

Zhang Chaoqiang can clearly feel that the head coach Remy Gard obviously looks down on him.

But as soon as the simulator worked, he somehow got the chance to make his debut.

"Congratulations, Zhang. Although the time is short, it is your debut after all." Tolisso immediately came up to congratulate, but his tone was somewhat sour.

"Okay, just wait and see my performance." Zhang Chaoqiang said while taking off his coat in a hurry, ready to go on stage.

Soon there was a dead ball on the court again, and the fourth official on the sidelines raised his substitution card.

No. 10 Lacazette left the field, and No. 25 "Super Power" entered the field.

On the back of Zhang Chaoqiang's jersey is Superpower, the name he chose when he came to France.

After hugging Lacazette and formally stepping into the stadium, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately received a prompt from the simulator.

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

At the same time, on the other side of the distant earth, in the text live broadcast room of various Lyon games, a piece of information about the same game was released at the same time.

"In the 88th minute of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang came off the bench!"

"Since Li Jinyu in 1999, the second Chinese player to play in Ligue [-] is officially born!"

However, the comments in the live broadcast room were not so good-looking.

"Damn it, Brother Hat is here?"

"Could it be an oolong, but don't be like last time."

"Brother Qiangzi Niu Pi, hurry up and get a hat for us to see."

"What hat? The kind that goes on the skull?"

"The game is about to end, what's the use of playing at this time?"

"Obviously, Brother Hat took the blame for playing."

"As expected of China's Benzema, the blame attributes are reproduced according to the original version."

All kinds of comments can be described as extremely mocking, and I can't bear to look directly at them.

However, the reason why domestic fans ridicule Zhang Chaoqiang all kinds of things has to start from a long, long time ago.
