Chapter 65 Undefeated Nemesis
In the Europa League round of 32, Guingamp lost to Ukrainian Super League Dynamo Kyiv 3:4 in two rounds, so Lyon is already the only player in Ligue [-] in the Europa League this season.

The teams that played in the four major leagues, Premier League Tottenham and Liverpool, Bundesliga Borussia, and La Liga Athletic Bilbao have been eliminated.

Tottenham's exit means that Kane's Europa League goals will no longer increase, and Zhang Chaoqiang's competitors will automatically decrease by one.

In the ensuing Europa League round of [-] draw, Lyon's opponent was the Turkish team Besiktas.

The draw wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

Turkish fans are notoriously fanatical, so the visiting team has been more or less affected in the past.

And in the top 32 of the Europa League, Besiktas eliminated the Premier League giants Liverpool to advance.

As the runner-up of the Premier League last season, Liverpool performed very poorly in the Champions League this season.

The group stage draw was very good, the standard hand-in-hand qualifying game, with Real Madrid.

But they faced the Swiss team Basel and were squeezed out of the place with a home draw and an away loss, so they dropped out to participate in the Europa League knockout round.

The top 32 of the Europa League faced Besiktas. Liverpool won 1-0 at home in the first leg, lost 0-1 away in the second leg, and lost to their opponents in a penalty shootout.

Rodgers, the young Premier League coach who was so loud last season, is already in turmoil and seems to be leaving Anfield at any time.

Lyon drew Besiktas, an opponent who is not strong but not weak.

This gave Fournier a bit of a headache.

If he draws Sevilla, Inter Milan, Naples, Wolfsburg and other favorite teams to win the championship, he can also decisively announce his abandonment and put the team's energy into the league.

But it is embarrassing to draw an opponent who is not strong or weak like Besiktas, and it is a pity that the food is tasteless and discarded.

Due to the extra round of the Europa League knockout round, the schedule is tighter.

In the UEFA Champions League, the round of [-] knockout rounds are arranged in two weeks.

The two teams that played in Ligue 1, Paris played in the middle of the first week, and finally drew with Chelsea 1:[-] at home.

The French media all believe that this result is not ideal, because last season Paris led 3:1 at home and was still reversed in the second round.

But fortunately, there is no loss at home, and Paris is not without a chance to go away.

Monaco played in the middle of the second week and had a big upset.

In the away game against Arsenal in the Premier League, Monaco actually defeated the opponent 3:1, basically locking in promotion.

Since Real Madrid threw off the Champions League Sixteen Lang hat, Arsenal immediately picked it up and put it on, and it has been worn for many years, and they are unwilling to throw it away.

This season's UEFA Champions League round of [-] draws Monaco in Ligue [-]. Everyone thought this was a good opportunity for the Gunners to get rid of Shiliu Lang's hat, but they didn't expect them to play like this.

The UEFA Champions League has a high degree of attention all over the world, and China is no exception.

Monaco was double-killed by Lyon in Ligue [-], and Zhang Chaoqiang was elected the best player in both rounds.

But when they went to the Champions League, they were able to ravage Arsenal.

So Chinese fans said that the Premier League giants are nothing more than that, and if Brother Qiangzi plays, maybe the score will be bigger.

※※※

On March 3, in the 1th round of the Ligue 27, Lyon challenged Lille away.

[You start stealing the sky from Divock Origi, speed +1]

Before the start of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang finally stole the speed attribute once.

Origi's speed is 84 points, a little higher than Zhang Chaoqiang, just right for stealing.

But his outbreak is only 70 points, which is a bit low.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have the explosive talent bonus like [Mr. Key], so not many people think he is fast.

If you compare it with Martial, whose speed is above 80, although Martial's absolute speed is slightly lower than Origi, he starts significantly faster. It is generally believed that Martial is faster than Origi.

In the previous two games, Zhang Chaoqiang gained another two points of explosiveness and strength. Now his latest attributes are as follows:
【Name: Zhang Chaoqiang】

【Nationality: Chinese】

【Age: 19 years old】

【Height: 178CM】

[Position: Forward]

【Physical Strength: 72】

【Strong: 72】

【Speed: 84】

【Burst: 76】

【flexible: 71】

【Response: 71】

【Bounce: 71】

[Injury resistance: 75]

[Talent: Iron Man, walking like flying, Mr. Key, memory inheritance, foolproof, stealing the day and changing the day]

[Comprehensive judgment of technology and awareness: average star rating]

"Lacazette is back in this game, but Lille has a draw and a loss in the last two rounds of Ligue [-], so Lyon's overall state is better. They have a good chance to win the game and continue to refresh their unbeaten record in team history... ..."

Before the game, the French commentators were very optimistic about Lyon, but after more than half of the game, they switched their mouths one after another.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Lacazette dribbled the ball and was intercepted. Lille made a quick counterattack and Origi scored a goal.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Portuguese striker Ronnie Lopez broke through the gate guarded by his national team teammates with another long-range shot.

The game time is less than 10 minutes, and Lyon has fallen behind 0:2 in the away game.

"Lille is the undoubted nemesis of Lyon. The two longest unbeaten records in the history of the Lyon team were all ended by Lille."

"In the 03/04 season, Le Gua led Lyon to complete 21 unbeaten games, and was terminated by Lille in the 22nd game."

"In the 05/06 season, Houllier led Lyon to complete 18 unbeaten games and was terminated by Lille in 19 games."

"Now that Fournier has led Lyon to complete 22 unbeaten games, it is likely that they will fall in front of Lille again..."

While the French commentator kept talking, Lyon launched a continuous offensive.

But Lille itself is good at defense, Lacazette, who has just come back, is in a bad state, and Lyon has been gaining momentum without scoring.

It wasn't until injury time that Zhang Chaoqiang's long-range shot forced Lille goalkeeper Enyeyama to throw the ball away. Jordan Ferry made a supplementary shot and Lyon finally pulled back a goal.

But the score of 2:1 was maintained until the end.

"No one expected that Lyon's top scorer Lacazette had just returned, and the team's unbeaten record would be immediately ended. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Lyon."

"The good news is that they can continue to keep the top position, and don't have to worry about being overtaken for the time being..."

※※※

"It's a good thing that the undefeated record is ended. Next, we can relax our minds and not worry about the record..."

On the way back after the game, Fournier tried his best to calm the players' emotions, hoping that everyone would not be too affected by the end of the record.

But most people are concerned about the results of the other game.

Until the Lyon bus returned to downtown Lyon, the atmosphere in the car suddenly rose.

"The game over there is over."

“Good job Monaco!”

"Paris didn't win..."

In another Ligue 0 focus match that took place three hours later, Paris drew 0:[-] with Monaco in an away game and failed to win the game.

After the loss, the Lyon players were mentally prepared to be chased for three points, but they were only chased for one point.

This gave everyone the illusion of winning two points.

There are currently 11 rounds left in Ligue [-]. Lyon leads Paris by six points, and the lead is still not small.

But it's not safe either.

After all, the opponent is the super rich Paris.
