Chapter 100
After Lyon's opening goal, Malmo still played conservatively.

This can be regarded as a kind of self-knowledge. Malmo is very aware of his situation in the Champions League group stage.

Every opponent is enough to defeat them, even torment them with blood.

Therefore, every game needs to have the intention of winning less and losing less.

Malmö guarded the defensive line until the 59th minute of the second half, when Lyon right-back Jalais received the ball in the frontcourt, cut inside the penalty area and scored with a long-range shot, the score finally expanded.

After scoring the goal, Ya Lai seemed to have a good feeling and was still actively looking for opportunities.

So within a few minutes, he was taken down by the Malmo players.

Lyon's last season was smooth sailing. Although there were minor injuries in the middle, the overall problem was not big.

But this season seems to be not so lucky, and the two main players have been injured one after another at the beginning of the season.

In the 71st minute, Zhang Chaoqiang sent a 45-degree diagonal pass from the right side of the front court, assisted Lacazette with a header and directly locked the score at 3:0.

In this way, Lyon beat Malmo with three goals at home and easily won the first round with three points.

But Yalai's injury is a hidden danger.

This guy is indeed relatively mediocre in all aspects, otherwise he would not be sold by Paris.

But he has been very experienced and stable. With Lyon winning the championship last season, he was also selected as the best team of the Ligue [-] season.

Now absent due to injury, Lyon's strength will definitely be weakened to a certain extent.

While Lyon defeated Malmo at home, Real Madrid also beat Shakhtar Donetsk with four goals at home, and Ronaldo also scored a hat-trick.

Therefore, both Lyon and Real Madrid successfully scored three points, but Real Madrid temporarily ranked first in the group with their goal difference advantage.

In other games of the first round of the Champions League, Paris, another Ligue [-] team, also successfully won.

However, the Premier League played two upsets, Manchester United lost to PSV Eindhoven away, and Arsenal lost to Dinamo Zagreb away.

The two top teams in the Premier League in the early 21st century seem to be unable to withstand it now.

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

After successfully winning three points in the first round of the Champions League, Lyon returned to daily training again.

Fekir and Yalai were injured successively, Lyon's starting staff changed again and again, and more practice was necessary to ensure the team's operation.

Zhang Chaoqiang improved his jumping a bit in training.

On May 9th, in the 20th round of the Ligue 6, Lyon challenged Marseille away.

After the first round of Ligue [-], Marseille coach Bielsa suddenly announced his resignation. As a result, the Marseille management had to temporarily invite the Spanish coach Michel, who coached in Olympiakos, Greece, to come to coach.

Michel was one of the famous Real Madrid Five Eagles in the player era, but as a coach, he is really not good.

He has coached Sevilla, Getafe and other La Liga teams before, but the results are not satisfactory, otherwise he will not be reduced to the level of going to the Greek League to make a living.

When Marseille asked him to coach, he was completely in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he could only pull one on top in a hurry.

In fact, according to the French media, Marseille contacted Real Madrid B team coach Zidane immediately after Bielsa resigned, but was rejected by the other party, so they had to invite Michel, another Real Madrid team, to come on top.

Michel has coached Marseille for four games. Although he has a six-goal victory over a newly promoted team, he also has the embarrassment of consecutive losses to Reims and Guingamp.

In general, Marseille should have little hope this season.

Facing a dispirited team in the away game, Lyon played fairly easily.

Valbuena first assisted Lacazette to score, and then successfully made a point. Zhang Chaoqiang hit a shot to expand the score.

Marseille came back with a goal after 70 minutes, but it was irrelevant.

Valbuena scored two goals in a row to help Lyon win the away game 2:1, which can be regarded as recovering some benefits from the old club.

After all, the peak of his career was dedicated to Marseille.

After returning to Lyon, everyone knew that Paris had lost points again. They drew 1:1 with Reims away.

Now Lyon not only continued to occupy the top spot in Ligue [-], but also took the opportunity to widen the gap by two points.

"Super Zhang, a special player with a super big heart"

In the latest issue of Lyon's "Progress", Zhang Chaoqiang once again appeared on the cover.

But not because of the recent performance, but the inventory of past games.

"Lyon won four trophies in 2015, each with a key contribution from Super Zhang."

"In the Ligue 1 championship battle, Super Zhang scored a lore free kick and helped Lyon win the championship with three points 0-[-]."

"In the Europa League final, Super Zhang scored twice to help Lyon beat Sevilla 2:1 to win the championship."

"French Super Cup, Super Zhang scored twice again and presented a lore, helping Lyon beat Paris Saint-Germain 2:1 to win the championship."

"European Super Cup, Super Zhang's perfect performance with a hat-trick and a lore helped Lyon beat the Triple Crown Barcelona 5:4 to win the championship."

"In 2015, Super Zhang's performance is obvious to all."

"Without him, Lyon might not have won a title."

The reason why the media crazily praised Zhang Chaoqiang was because the end of the year was approaching, and the selection of various awards was about to begin.

So Zhang Chaoqiang's agency teamed up with the Lyon Club to make some moves to help Zhang Chaoqiang gain fame.

According to agent Jacques Frelo, this year's European Golden Boy Award is already in Zhang Chaoqiang's pocket, and there is basically no need to worry about it.

But for FIFA's annual award ceremony, Zhang Chaoqiang needs to work hard.

Of course, the FIFA Ballon d'Or or something has nothing to do with Zhang Chaoqiang.

But it is absolutely necessary to strive to enter the shortlist.

In recent years, the shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d'Or has been fixed at 23 people. In principle, the 23 best players in the world are required to be shortlisted.

But awards are often based on reputation.

The same goes for being shortlisted.

Zhang Chaoqiang played in Ligue [-], which made him less famous than the other four major league players.

However, he scored a hat-trick against Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup. This performance can be described as quite explosive. It is more effective in improving reputation than the UEFA Europa League Golden Boot, and it is N times more effective.

Therefore, the brokerage company believes that this is an excellent opportunity and must be used well to prepare for the future Golden Globes.

With Zhang Chaoqiang's active performance last season, he has become the most potential client of Mundell's agency. The agency has set various future plans for him, including hitting the Golden Globe Award.

This is also a kind of sincerity.

After Ou Chao put on his hat, Zhang Chaoqiang received a call from Europe's top agent Raiola, inviting Zhang Chaoqiang to join the other party's brokerage company.

Mundell responded quickly and immediately offered Zhang Chaoqiang various packages.

The Future Shock Golden Globes is one of them.

The current Zhang Chaoqiang is indeed far away from the Golden Globe Award, but he does have the potential to win awards in the future, so it is natural to prepare in advance.

The top stars in European football are generally not too old when they are shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or for the first time, such as the two most successful ones.

Ronaldo was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for the first time in 2004, and won the award in 2008 after four consecutive years of accompanying him.

Messi was nominated for the Ballon d'Or for the first time in 2006, and won the award in 2009 after three consecutive years of accompanying him.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang should take advantage of the opportunity to face Barcelona wearing a hat and work hard to complete his career for the first time.

In addition to being nominated for the Golden Globe, the award that Zhang Chaoqiang can really compete for is the Puskas Award.

The ultra-long free kick that killed Bordeaux and the long-distance attack of Barcelona, ​​both goals have a chance to compete for the Puskas Award.

However, it is still unknown whether it will win the award.

But at least do more publicity to make yourself more famous, and it is more beneficial to hedge the prize.
