Chapter 54 Zhang Daqian

"Zhang Chaoqiang is worth more than 1 million, No.[-] in Chinese football history"

"Brother Qiangzi's net worth has risen to tens of millions, ranking fourth in Asia, second only to Samsung in Japan and South Korea"

"At the age of 19, worth over ten million, No. 1 in Asian football history"

According to the latest worth data on the German transfer market, Zhang Chaoqiang's worth has just risen to 1000 million euros.

This allowed him to break the 2006 million record set by Sun Jihai in 450, and became No. 1 in Chinese football history.

Of course, if football inflation is counted, Sun Jihai is still number one.

But at least from direct statistics, Zhang Chaoqiang has successfully surpassed the opponent and greatly improved China's historical record.

As far as the entire Asian football world is concerned, Zhang Chaoqiang temporarily ranks fourth in Asia, only behind Shinji Kagawa, Sun Xingmin and Keisuke Honda.

Shinji Kagawa is still 1500 million, and Sun Xingmin is still 1400 million.

On the contrary, Keisuke Honda has performed well overall in recent months. His net worth rose by 200 million when he was updated last month, and he is currently on par with Sun Xingmin.

At the same time, he was worth over ten million at the age of 19, which also created an Asian football record.

Asian players often play at a high level in Asia before moving to Europe, so there are very few players who are worth a lot at a young age.

Sun Xingmin was the youngest millionaire in Asia before, and he was 20 years old for the first time.

Today, Zhang Chaoqiang refreshed his age to 19 years old.

Chinese fans were naturally rejoiced after knowing that Zhang Chaoqiang was worth more than a thousand, and then gave him a nickname——

Zhang Daqian!
It's worth over ten million, which is just right.

Recently, domestic fans are also paying attention to another news, that is, Zhang Xizhe is about to transfer to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.

In fact, news had flowed out as early as the summer transfer, but it was not really implemented.

Now it's finalized.

Since Zhang Chaoqiang played well in Ligue [-], domestic fans naturally have great expectations for Zhang Xizhe, hoping that he can also make a name for himself in the Bundesliga.

You must know that the Bundesliga is a blessed place for Asian players. Many of the successful Asian players who have studied abroad have succeeded there.

Zhang Xizhe plays as an attacking midfielder. His competitor in Wolfsburg is Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Some domestic fans have begun to fantasize about how Zhang Xizhe can squeeze out De Bruyne and lead Wolfsburg to kill the Quartet.

Perhaps because Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Chaoqiang have the same surname, fans feel that Zhang's surname is naturally easier to mix in European football.

On December 12, the last round of the Europa League group stage, Lyon went to challenge Bruges away.

Since he has already locked in the first place in the group, Fournier directly arranged a large rotation of players, only allowing a few main players such as Gonarones, Tolisso, and Bicevac to play, and the rest were all on the bench.

The result of the game was fair, Lyon lost 1:2 away to Club Brugge.

But this does not affect the ranking.

Because Turin beat Copenhagen 5:1 in the last round away game, Brugge was eliminated even if they won.

Lyon ranked first in the group, Torino ranked second, and the two teams from the five major leagues advanced together.

In other groups, Saint-Etienne, who had been strong until the final round, lost 0:1 to Dnipro in the away game, and finally failed to qualify.

Guingamp actually won the rival Thessaloniki at home steadily and qualified as the second place in the group.

Four teams from Ligue [-] participated in the Europa League group stage. In the end, Lyon and Guingamp advanced, and Saint-Etienne and Lille were eliminated.

In the Champions League, Paris was reversed by Barcelona 1:3 in the last round away game, and MSN happened to have a goal for everyone.

Now Paris can only advance to the second place in the group, which is a bit disadvantageous.

The Champions League is not like the Europa League. There is a big difference between the first group and the second group.

On the contrary, Monaco held the first place in the group after winning Zenit at home, without any surprises.

Monaco's statistics in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season are amazing. They only scored four goals in six games, but only conceded one goal, and thus won the first place in the group.

Only one goal was conceded in six group matches, which successfully tied the best record in history and became the sixth team in the history of the Champions League to concede only one goal in the group stage.

At the same time, he only scored four goals and advanced to the knockout round, which also created a record in the history of the Champions League.

The team with the second fewest goals in the group stage advances.

There used to be a team more amazing than Monaco, and that was Villarreal in the 05/06 season. They scored three goals and conceded one goal in six group matches, and also successfully advanced.

And in that season, Villarreal went all the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League before being eliminated by Arsenal.

The Europa League group stage is all over. Zhang Chaoqiang played a total of five games on behalf of Lyon, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists. He is the one with the best statistics in the team.

However, Lacazette did not give up much. He played 3 games and contributed 2 goals and 1 assist.

Soon after the group stage, the draw for the knockout rounds took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Lyon was lucky to draw a non-big five league team-Aalborg.

Another Danish team.

Aalborg was the champion of the Danish league last season, but was knocked out in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round to participate in the Europa League group stage, and finally qualified as the second in the group.

When encountering such a team, Lyon can save a lot of energy.

However, Chinese fans didn't like it very much after seeing the result of the draw.

Because in the group stage, Zhang Chaoqiang scored against Turin and Bruges, but he did not score against the Danish team Copenhagen.

Now they meet another Danish team, they are worried that Zhang Chaoqiang will be "zero seal" again.

As another Ligue [-] team that reached the Europa League knockout stage, Guingamp drew the Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, which may not be easy to play.

In fact, with Guingamp's overall strength, reaching the knockout round would be considered as a completion of the task, and there is no need to think too much about it, one more game is just one more game.

On the Champions League side, Paris has drawn Chelsea again.

And Monaco worked hard to grab the first place in the group, and finally they were drawn to the Premier League Arsenal.

The Ligue [-] duo will face the London duo respectively, which is definitely not a good pick for the Ligue [-] league.

On December 12, in the 14th round of Ligue 18, Lyon played against newly promoted Caen at home.

As long as they successfully win Caen at home, Lyon can increase their unbeaten league games to thirteen games, tying the third longest unbeaten record in team history.

But being promoted is not a lucky word for Lyon, because Lyon only got one draw and one loss in the previous two games against newly promoted horses.

Fortunately, this time, Lyon's overall state is completely different.

"Super Zhang! Beautiful change of direction!!"

"Break into the restricted area! Kick the goal!!"

"Goooooal——"

Only 9 minutes into the game, Zhang Chaoqiang received a through ball from Tolisso in front of the penalty area. Shen shoulders changed direction and passed the Caen defender. He entered the penalty area and kicked decisively!

There was cheers at the Gerland Stadium, and the fans chanted Super Zhang in unison.

At the same time, the Chinese commentator read a congratulatory speech:

"Congratulations to Zhang Chaoqiang, this is his eighth goal in Ligue [-] this season, which equals Yang Chen's single-season scoring record in the five major leagues held by Chinese players."

"Every time Zhang Chaoqiang scores a goal in Ligue [-], he will create a new record for Chinese football!"

"In addition, the highest scoring record of an Asian player in a single season in Ligue 12 is 10 goals, which was created by South Korean player Park Joo-young in the 11/[-] season. Zhang Chaoqiang also has a good chance to break it."

"No, it can definitely break it!!"
