Chapter 80 Two Battles

After returning to Lyon, the team did not have much rest time.

The coaching staff tried their best to help the players adjust their status, but no one knew whether it would be effective or not.

What's more, the schedule is intensive, and there is not much time left for everyone to adjust.

On May 5th, in the second round of the UEFA Europa League semi-final, the Lyon team flew to Naples, the largest city in southern Italy, to challenge Naples away.

Although he had a huge lead of 3:0 in the first round, Fournier did not dare to be careless at all, and still arranged all the main players to play.

Now that the team is showing signs of exhaustion, if it is really going to be overturned in the away game, it will definitely affect the league, and the consequences are immeasurable.

Therefore, Lyon played with the main force, and at the same time the tactics were very conservative, basically focusing on defense.

As long as you don't concede three goals in a row, you will definitely advance to the final.

With the tactical support of Tietong, Lyon defended until 70 minutes into the second half before conceding a goal.

Insigne assisted and Callejon scored.

But it's just one goal.

Lyon lost 0:1 to Naples in the away game and successfully advanced with a total score of 3:1.

"Congratulations to Lyon, they successfully eliminated Naples and advanced to the European finals for the first time in team history!"

"At the same time, after 11 years, a Ligue [-] team has finally advanced to the European final!"

At the end of the game, the French commentator was very excited.

The last time a Ligue 03 team advanced to the European final was in the 04/[-] season. In that season, Monaco reached the Champions League final, and Marseille reached the Europa League final.

It's a pity that the final result was not very good. Both teams lost in the final.

At the same time, the Chinese commentator was also cheering excitedly.

"Congratulations to Zhang Chaoqiang, he helped Lyon advance to the Europa League final with his outstanding performance, and will soon become the first player in our Chinese football history to participate in the European final!"

"At the same time, because Higuain didn't score in this game, that super power has basically locked the Europa League Golden Boot. His only remaining competitor is himself. Let's see if he can continue to score in the final and continue to break the record! "

At the end of the game, the entire Lyon team embraced excitedly and cheered passionately.

It is the first time in team history to advance to the European finals. At this moment, everyone is the creator of team history records.

The fly in the ointment is the away promotion, without the cheers of the home fans, which is somewhat regrettable.

※※※

In the UEFA Europa League away game against Naples, Zhang Chaoqiang took the opportunity to steal two flexibility points from Insigne, raising his flexibility to 77 points.

After returning to France, the Lyon team was generally praised by the French media.

After all, this is one of the few outstanding results in the European competition in the Ligue [-] league in the past ten years.

But everyone in Lyon had no time to rest and rushed to the game non-stop.

Three days later, on May 5, in the penultimate round of Ligue 17 this season, Lyon challenged Rennes away.

The consecutive week of double matches made Lyon once again in a sluggish state. Not only was it unable to attack Rennes for a long time, but even its own goal was greatly threatened twice.

If it weren't for Anthony Lopez's timely save, Lyon might have conceded the ball first again.

Faced with this situation, Fournier made a decisive decision and adjusted his strategic goals during the intermission.

"We try to be as stable as possible in the second half and just make sure we don't lose."

"As long as we get one point from Rennes, we will still be able to overwhelm Paris, and we can win the championship by winning Bordeaux at home in the last round!"

Before the game, Lyon set the goal to take three points from Rennes, and in the final round, they can draw with Bordeaux at home to win the championship.

But now the situation has changed, and the team's state is even worse than when they played Caen in the last round.

So Fournier had to make such an arrangement.

First take a point from Rennes to stabilize the situation, take advantage of the one-week break after the end of this round, quickly adjust the team's state, and fight Bordeaux in the final round.

The advantage of this arrangement is that there is one week to adjust the time. The disadvantage is that there is no room for error in the final round, and you must win to win the championship.

The second half of the game began, and the two teams returned to the court.

Fournier watched his players step on the lawn, his eyes were divided, and he never left the Chinese wearing the No. 25 jersey.

This kid can always contribute magical performances at critical moments.

Although Lacazette is the No. 30 player in Lyon's ranking, he has scored [-] league goals so far, and his efficiency is quite high.

But at this critical moment of competing for the championship, Fournier always feels that the Chinese are more reliable.

For example, facing Caen in the last round, it was his one pass and one shot that led the team to reverse and get back three points.

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know what the coach expected of him, but he knew very well that if he could get three points from Rennes, that would be the best.

Because the last round of Bordeaux is not weak, and is desperately fighting for the third, it will never make it easier for Lyon.

However, the overall state of the team in this game is sluggish, and the head coach's arrangement is considered safe and understandable.

Therefore, he can only rely on himself to find opportunities.

In other words, rely on [Mr. Key] to find opportunities.

After adjusting the strategy, Lyon focused on defense, and their goal was much safer.

But at the same time, the number of times of hitting the opponent's dangerous area is relatively small.

Eighty-ten minutes later, the score was still 10:0, and Zhang Chaoqiang's [Mr. Key] was successfully triggered.

But he tried his best and only hit a few long-range shots, but he still failed to change the score for the team.

[Mr. Key] is indeed a good talent, but it doesn't change Zhang Chaoqiang's life every time.

If that's the case, Zhang Chaoqiang will directly become an invincible player who never loses for a lifetime.

In this way, Lyon drew 0:0 with Rennes away.

Failed to get three points as expected, but managed to get a key point.

Without this point, Lyon really lost the initiative to compete for the championship.

※※※

While Lyon drew with Rennes away, Paris won Montpellier 2:1 in an away game.

在最新的法甲积分榜上，里昂以24胜10平3负82分继续占据榜首，大巴黎以24胜9平4负81分排名第二，仅仅落后里昂一分。

The other four teams in the European theater also won this round. At present, Monaco has 67 points, Marseille and Bordeaux have 66 points, and Saint-Etienne has 64 points.

So the last round of Ligue [-] will be a big melee.

In view of the unprecedented fierce competition in the Ligue [-] league, the French media are actively reporting and analyzing different results that may appear in the final round.

Lyon's "Progress" gave a clear report on the front page headline-"Lyon has two final decisive battles left".

Next Saturday, May 5, is the last round of Ligue 23.

On May 5th, the next Wednesday, it was the day of the Europa League final.

What kind of results Lyon can achieve after a season of hard work depends on how the two decisive battles within these four days are played in the end.

The media of the four major leagues are also paying attention to the situation in Ligue [-], because their domestic league has ended early.

Bundesliga Bayern and Serie A Juventus both won four rounds ahead of schedule, Premier League Chelsea won three rounds ahead of schedule, and La Liga Barcelona won one round ahead of schedule.

Among the five major leagues, only Ligue [-] has not yet won.

Of course, there is also the most watched UEFA Champions League showdown, which will not start until after the Europa League final.

The two sides in the final are Barcelona and Juventus.

　It will be on the shelves at noon tomorrow, please take care of us.

　　I will try my best to update as much as possible after it is put on the shelves, but I can't go beyond the scope of my ability.

　　Because I have a disabled hand, the code word is really slow.

　　But there will definitely be two chapters a day, I can only say try my best.
