Chapter 75 Gritting his teeth and insisting
The quarter-finals of the European War ended, and all the top four teams appeared.

The Champions League is Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus.

The Europa League is Lyon, Seville, Fiorentina, Naples.

Then in the semi-final draw organized by UEFA, the Champions League drew Barcelona against Bayern and Real Madrid against Juventus.

The Europa League draw is Lyon against Naples and Sevilla against Fiorentina.

The two teams in La Liga in the Champions League are separated, so La Liga has the possibility of sweeping the Champions League final.

In the same way, the two Serie A teams in the Europa League are separated, and Serie A has the possibility of sweeping the Europa League final.

For Lyon to draw Naples, Chinese fans are very concerned.

Because Naples star Higuain is the only potential opponent for Zhang Chaoqiang to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot.

At present, Zhang Chaoqiang scored eight goals and Higuain scored seven goals. The two happened to be drawn together in the Europa League semi-finals, which is quite topical.

At least in China, the fans' attention to the Europa League semi-finals this season is not lost at all to the Champions League.

Who is stronger, Lyon or Naples?
Can Zhang Chaoqiang win the Europa League Golden Boot?Will it be overtaken by Higuain?

These are all hot topics, attracting fans to discuss endlessly.

South Korean black fans were quite upset about this, and many expressed their support for Naples to kill Lyon, and Higuain snatched Zhang Chaoqiang's golden boot.

But soon they had internal disagreements.

Because of the Korea-Japan World Cup that year, South Korea had a feud with Italy. At that time, South Korea's top player Ahn Jung-hwan was even expelled from Serie A.

Now it is actually necessary to cheer for a Serie A team, some "old Korean fans" find it difficult to accept.

By the way, although Sun Xingmin helped Leverkusen reach the Champions League knockout round, he was sent away by Atletico Madrid in the round of [-].

At this stage, Zhang Chaoqiang is the only Asian player still playing in Europe, and he is expected to win the Europa League Golden Boot.

Therefore, he has attracted much attention in Asian football, and he has lost his face and started to attract fans from other Asian countries.

It is precisely because of this that many fans went to the official website of the AFC to "reverse the case" for Zhang Chaoqiang.

At the AFC annual awards ceremony held at the end of last year, Chinese football won nothing, and there were almost no shortlisted nominees.

There was only one nomination for Best Women's Soccer Coach, which also failed to win.

At that time, Chinese fans said that Chinese football is really bad, and it’s fine if no one is nominated for other awards, but Zhang Chaoqiang should at least be shortlisted for the Best Overseas Player Award, right?
The best overseas player is a new award established by the AFC in 2012, which is specially prepared for Asian players who have studied abroad.

In 2012, Shinji Kagawa, who played for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, became the first winner.

In 2013, Nagatomo Yuto, who played for Serie A Inter Milan, became the second winner.

Last year was the third year since the establishment of the award. The shortlist announced by the AFC is South Korea's Sun Xingmin, Japan's Okazaki Shinji, and Australia's Yedinak.

Many Chinese fans do not approve of this list.

Zhang Chaoqiang played very well in Ligue [-]. He came off the bench in the French League Cup final and led the team to comeback and win the championship. Then he wore a hat in the Ligue [-]. He didn't even qualify for the finals?

The Koreans were very happy, and immediately jumped out to ridicule that Zhang Chaoqiang was not qualified to be shortlisted at all.

Then Sun Xingmin finally won the award, which made the Koreans very happy.

But now that Zhang Chaoqiang has risen to the top scorer list in the Europa League, more and more fans believe that it is really unreasonable for Zhang Chaoqiang not to be shortlisted.

[You have strengthened your body through personal training, flexibility +1]

On the team training ground, Zhang Chaoqiang received the familiar prompt again.

Flexibility increased from 71 to 72.

"Zhang, do you think our team will really collapse?" Recently, the French media kept talking about Lyon and Paris, and Tolisso was also affected and became a little nervous.

"At this time, why do you care if you collapse? You can only play every game seriously, grit your teeth and persevere..."

Zhang Chaoqiang really thought so.

At this time, it is useless to look forward and backward again and again, only to grit your teeth and stick to it.

On April 4, in the 26th round of Ligue 34, Lyon challenged Reims away.

As a team with no desires and no desires in the Ligue [-] standings, Reims is very face-saving and did not cause any trouble for his predecessor.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Zhang Chaoqiang found Lacazette with a diagonal pass from the front court, and assisted the latter with a shovel shot.

Then Tolisso and Bedimo scored respectively, and Lyon led 3:1 in the first half.

Since there will be two Europa League semi-finals next, and there will be a Ligue [-] make-up match, Lyon will have double matches a week for the next three consecutive weeks.

So after the game was basically won, Fournier replaced Zhang Chaoqiang and Lacazette one after another, allowing the two guns to stay focused on important games.

In the second half, Gourcuff came off the bench and scored a goal, extending the score to 4:1.

But in stoppage time, Lyon conceded another goal slightly carelessly, so the final score was 4:2.

It seems to be an insignificant conceded goal, but now Lyon and Paris may compete to the point of competing for goal difference, and every conceded goal may be the key.

Fournier looked a little worried, and he was really not happy about the last goal lost.

But he didn't say anything, just win the game.

In the same round, Paris was playing against Lille at home.

Originally, Lyon fans expected Lille to be more competitive and try to make Paris lose points as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, Lille was completely weak, and they lost 1:6 to Paris in the away game, only to be beaten into a pig's head by the Paris players.

Therefore, the point difference between Lyon and Paris is still three points, but Paris recovered three goal difference at once.

At present, Lyon's exact lead over Paris is three points and six goal difference.

※※※

Then in the middle of the week, other teams in Ligue 32 were resting, but Lyon and Paris had to play the [-]nd round of Ligue [-].

Paris will host Metz at home, while Lyon will host Batisia at home.

In the away game against Bastia in the first round, Lyon was tied 0:0.

Sitting on the advantage of the home court this time, Lyon did not let the tragedy repeat itself.

"Zhang Chaoqiang! Good pass!!"

"Fekir! Volley and score!!"

In the 36th minute of the game, Jordan Ferry broke through from the right and passed back from the bottom. Zhang Chaoqiang caught the ball in the middle, attracted the opponent's defender, and immediately transferred the ball to Fekir on the left.

Fekir dunked the ball and volleyed decisively to score.

Bastia obviously came to the Gerland Stadium with the purpose of sticking to Lyon and causing trouble, but this time they were not so lucky.

It took Lyon just over half an hour to successfully knock on their goal.

"Including this assist, Zhang Chaoqiang's data in Ligue 14 this season has increased to 12 goals and [-] assists. This is a standard star-level data, which is very gorgeous."

Zhang Chaoqiang had assists in the last two games, raising his assists to 12.

But in Marseille, Payet's assists have risen to 16.

After Lyon scored the first goal, Batisia still played tenaciously.

Everyone knows that Lyon wants to compete for the championship and must compete for three points every game, so most teams want to try to be a blocker when facing Lyon.

If Lyon's championship can really be kicked away, it will definitely be a feat that can be recorded in team history.

In the following time, the game scene was a bit stalemate.

Until the 77th minute of the second half, left-back Bedimo pressed forward and sent a good cross from the wing.

Lacazette squeezed desperately to the goal, kicked the ball into the opponent's goal, and sealed the victory by the way.

In this way, Lyon defeated Bastia 2:0 at home, and won two consecutive games after losing points in the Rhone Derby, which did not let the Parisians see the collapse they wanted.

But there are still four games left, and Lyon has to play one by one.

In another make-up match at the same time, Paris beat Metz 3:1 without bloodshed at home and also scored three points.

This time both teams won by two goals, and the goal difference remained the same.

By the way, after this make-up match, Ibrahimovic will come back, and the strength of Paris can be strengthened again.

According to the French media, Lyon must acquiesce that Paris will end the season with four consecutive victories.

So if you want to win the championship, you must first calculate how many points you need to get.

※※※

In the last match against Lance, Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to steal a bit of explosion and fill up his explosion attribute by 80 points.

But it was found that no player on the opposite side had a higher explosive rate than himself.

In the end, I had to change it to steal a little reaction.

Facing Bastia in this scene, Zhang Chaoqiang finally managed to steal a little explosion as he wished.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang's burst is 80 points, and his speed is 84 points.

Even without the [Mr. Key] bonus, his overall attributes are basically enough.

At least in Ligue [-], this attribute is very effective.
