Chapter 64 Breaking the Record

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, not many fans will actually stay up late to watch the Europa League.

But early the next morning, most fans knew the news about Zhang Chaoqiang wearing a cap.

"Congratulations Brother Qiangzi, wearing a cap for the first time in his European career."

"It's still a hat-trick at the age of 19, the second youngest in the history of the Europa League."

"I think Brother Qiangzi's hat-trick is not only a New Year's gift for fans, but also a 20th birthday gift for myself in advance."

"In half a month, Brother Qiangzi will be 20 years old."

"I wish Brother Qiangzi a happy 20th birthday in advance, every year has today, and every year has today."

"I have the impression that brother Qiangzi has been in Europe for several years, but he is still under 20 years old?"

"Nonsense, I went to Lyon for youth training at the age of 15, and became famous at a standard young age."

"Last night's game was so cool. Brother Qiangzi took the ball, and a bunch of Danes behind him crazily ate ashes."

"Haha, is our Chinese fast horse a waste of fame?"

"That's a fast horse? That's just a red rabbit horse."

"Brother Qiangzi is Chituma, so who is Diaochan?"

"Have you ever read a book? Is Diaochan related to Chituma?"

"It seems to be related to someone..."

"If you want me to say, Brother Qiangzi's hat-trick was aimed at Sun Xingmin, and it was designed to hit Korean black fans in the face."

"The Koreans are very arrogant recently, so they have nothing to say now?"

"Please don't underestimate the thickness of their skins."

"Maybe they will say that the Spring Festival is their Korean holiday, and then threaten to take Brother Qiangzi to court."

"Stop talking, I want to vomit..."

In the update of the German transfer market in early February, Sun Xingmin's worth rose to 1600 million euros, surpassing Shinji Kagawa and becoming the number one star in Asia.

Then a few days ago in the Bundesliga on the weekend, Sun Xingmin proved his worth with a hat-trick.

Although Leverkusen lost that game 4:5, the Korean fans were still very excited.

This is already the second time in Sun Xingmin's career that he has worn a cap in the Bundesliga.

The opponent in the key game was still very special, Wolfsburg.

Zhang Xizhe joined Wolfsburg during the winter break, and many Chinese fans are looking forward to this transfer.

But soon everyone discovered that Zhang Xizhe couldn't get a foothold in Wolfsburg at all, and he couldn't get into the big list for a long time.

So everyone turned to continue to pay attention to Zhang Chaoqiang.

But the Koreans were very happy to see this situation, and they mocked that Chinese players are only qualified to play in the sixth league of Ligue [-], and they will reveal their secrets as soon as they arrive in the Bundesliga.

Then Sun Xingmin's worth rose to No. [-] in Asia, and then he was capped in the Bundesliga, and his opponent was Wolfsburg, where Zhang Xizhe played.

Now the Korean football network is boiling, full of all kinds of victory theories.

Since the last incident, network exchanges between China and South Korea have been promoted to a certain extent.

Some Chinese self-media have been translating Koreans’ disparaging Zhang Chaoqiang’s online comments for a long time to earn traffic.

Similarly, there are people in South Korea who are doing similar things.

However, what they translated were domestic fans' praise of Zhang Chaoqiang's remarks, and they carried them back for Korean fans to criticize.

So recently, Sun Xingmin showed his face one after another, which caused the Koreans to become arrogant, and the domestic fans were very upset.

Now that Zhang Chaoqiang is wearing a cap in the Europa League, he finally helped them win back.

"Zhang, do you want to take the initiative to apply to the coach for the next Europa League start?"

After returning to Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang only noticed after being reminded by Jordan Ferry that he seemed to have a chance to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot this season.

Counting the hat-trick just completed, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored nine goals in the Europa League this season.

Three goals in the qualifying round and six goals in the main match.

The European Golden Boot only counts goals in the main match, so Zhang Chaoqiang's goals in the Europa League scorer list are six.

That's a lot.

Currently ranked first is the Brazilian striker Alan of the Salzburg Red Bull team. He has scored eight goals in total, all of which were scored in the group stage.

The key point is that the Salzburg Red Bull lost 32:1 away to La Liga Villarreal in the first round of the top 3. It seems that the situation is unfavorable and it is very likely that they will be eliminated.

Once Red Bull was eliminated and Alan failed to continue to score, Zhang Chaoqiang did have a chance to catch up with the opponent.

The European War Golden Boots can be tied, as long as they catch up, they can be tied for the Golden Boots.

"Forget it, or follow the coach's arrangement." Zhang Chaoqiang replied to Ferry.

Due to the sufficient advantage in the first round, Fournier has decided to send a substitute to play in the second round of the top 32 to reserve strength for the league.

It's not that Zhang Chaoqiang doesn't want to compete for the Golden Boot, but the current situation is unclear.

Even if Alan is really eliminated, and the number of goals is locked at eight.

There are other competitors on the scorer list.

Everton's Lukaku, Tottenham's Kane, and Naples' Higuain all scored about the same number of goals as Zhang Chaoqiang.

So to compete for the Golden Boot, the key is to go as far as possible.

It is difficult to play a decisive role in whether a game is played or not.

And losing the Ligue [-] championship in order to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot is not worth it.

On February 2, in the 22th round of the Ligue 26, Lyon played against Nantes at home.

Lyon has played against Nantes twice this season, but the results are not satisfactory.

In the first round of the league, Lyon drew 1:1 away from the opponent.

In the round of 64 of the French Cup, Lyon was eliminated by the opponent in a penalty shootout.

So Nantes was very confident before the game and shouted the slogan to end Lyon's unbeaten record.

But they chanted loudly, but their real performance was far less powerful than their lip service.

Fekir made a point and Zhang Chaoqiang made a burst.

Lyon defeated Nantes 1-0 at home, breaking the team's longest league unbeaten record to 22 games.

This game seems to have a small score, but in fact Lyon has not been threatened at all.

Nantes defended passively throughout the game, taking only five shots, none of which were within range of the goal frame.

In other words, Lyon can have no goalkeeper in front of the goal.

While Lyon won Nantes and broke the record, Lacazette had already resumed training under the arrangement of the coaching staff.

This is good news for the team.

This round of Paris also easily scored three points, but Marseille lost another point. They drew with Saint-Etienne 2:2 away.

Therefore, in the Ligue 26 standings after 60 league rounds, Lyon continued to lead with 53 points, Paris ranked second with 50 points, and Marseille ranked third with [-] points.

It can be said that Marseille has withdrawn from the championship. What they have to do now is to secure the top three and strive for the qualification for the Champions League next season.

Monaco and Bordeaux coveted his No.3 position.

As for the top two, they have long belonged to Lyon and Paris.

On February 2, in the second round of the Europa League round of 26, Lyon played against Aalborg at home.

Fournier arranged for substitute players to play as originally planned, but at the same time let Zhang Chaoqiang sit on the bench and wait for orders.

If the game situation is unfavorable, Zhang Chaoqiang can play the savior at any time.

However, the substitute players worked very hard and perfectly fulfilled the head coach's pre-match arrangement.

Focus on defense and try not to lose the ball.

Lyon drew with Aalborg 0:0 at home and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 3:1 to advance.

In other games that were played at the same time, the Salzburg Red Bull was indeed eliminated by the yellow submarine, and Alan did not score a goal.

This is a favorable result for Zhang Chaoqiang.

His chances of competing for the Europa League Golden Boot appear to have improved.
