Rebirth Football Simulator

Chapter 11 Departure North
Thanks to the official schedule of Ligue [-], Lyon and Paris will have two consecutive contests in two consecutive weekends.

Lyon went to the first city at home, which is a good start.

But everyone knows that the second round is the real final.

Although Remy Gard was a little unreliable, he also knew the importance of that final.

After the rapid rise of the gold dollar teams such as Paris and Monaco, it is difficult for Lyon to compete for the Ligue [-] championship, even though Lyon was once an unprecedented seven consecutive champions in the history of Ligue [-].

So at this stage, Lyon is most likely to compete for the championship or the domestic cup.

The French League Cup is not an important championship, and its gold content is not even as good as the French Cup.

But it was a championship after all, and Gard wanted to win it.

So after the weekend league, the Lyon team began to make detailed preparations, and everything focused on the weekend League Cup final.

※※※

Under the scorching sun, the lawn of the Lyon training base is still lush.

It's not luxurious, but peaceful and elegant.

When Lyon built this base, it was mainly practical, and everything was prepared for the training of players.

It is with the support of this base that Lyon has gradually developed into a team based on youth training.

Since the completion of construction in the 90s, the Lyon base has successively produced stars such as Benzema, Ben Alpha, Giuly, Govou, and Kanoute.

Moreover, as the club's emphasis on youth training has intensified in recent years, the Lyon team has gathered a star seedling such as Lacazette, Tolisso, Umtiti, Anthony Lopez, and Fekir.

There is also Martial, who is currently performing well in Monaco, and he is also a standard Lyon youth training product.

It's just that he was unwilling to stay in Lyon as a substitute and switched to Monaco last summer.

In fact, Martial was only 17 years old last summer. Although he performed well in the youth team, he never proved himself in the first team.

So Monaco successfully introduced Martial at a low price of only 500 million euros, which was considered a win-win deal by the French media at the time.

Both Lyon and Monaco are happy with the deal.

But now as Martial played better and better in Monaco and gradually won the nickname of New Henry, everyone began to change their minds again, thinking that Lyon had made a loss-making deal.

There are a total of ten pieces of natural lawn in the Lyon training base, the best three pieces are reserved for the first team, and the remaining seven pieces are distributed to the youth training echelons.

At this time, on the training lawn of the first team, intense team training is in full swing.

Gard stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, pretending to be deep without saying a word.

On the contrary, the assistant coach Genesio was very passionate and kept pointing the players on the field.

"Milan, secure your position. If you can't even defend Zhang, how can you defend Cavani and Lavezzi?"

"Corantin, you are now the right back of the team, not the right forward. You must always pay attention to protecting your back and not leaving too much space for the opponent."

For the upcoming League Cup final, everyone knows that Paris Saint-Germain is stronger.

But it was a decisive final. As long as Lyon responded properly, it might be possible to beat Paris to win the championship.

Not only is it possible, but the probability is not small.

Because Paris' head star Ibrahimovic has been determined to miss the final.

In the match against Chelsea, Paris was not only reversed and eliminated, but also lost the general Ibrahimovic.

It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.

It is precisely because of this advantage that Galder is full of expectations for the final.

After the training session, Zhang Chaoqiang took off his substitute vest as a rag, wiped his forehead and neck, and went back to the locker room while wiping.

"It's not summer yet, why is the temperature already so high?" Tolisso, a good friend next to him, also followed suit, but he used the main vest.

Gard seems to have determined that Tolisso has the talent to play full-back, and has been arranging him as the main right-back recently.

If it weren't for his rebirth memory, Zhang Chaoqiang was even a little worried that his friends would be useless.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked into the distance.

Remy Gard has already arranged for personnel to pack up the training equipment and started walking to the office area.

In recent days, the coaching staff has been actively preparing for the game, and it seems that they will go back to discuss tactical matters.

※※※

On April 4, the final day officially arrived.

Zhang Chaoqiang got up from the bed early in the morning, but found that he got up a little too early.

This is the first time in his career to participate in the finals. He was inexplicably a little nervous and got up an hour earlier than usual.

So he picked up his cell phone and dialed the number at home.

Zhang Chaoqiang's family conditions are average, not rich, but not poor either.

The main source of income for the family is a canteen, which is opened in a village in the city, and the monthly income is quite considerable.

It is precisely because of this that when he came to France to play football, his father supported him, but his mother disagreed.

Playing football seems to have no future, so it's better to stay in China and get a good university entrance exam, and just find a job honestly in the future.

When the age is about the same, the family will pay a down payment, buy a house and marry a wife, wouldn't it be more reliable than playing football?
In fact, this is the life trajectory of Zhang Chaoqiang in his last life.

However, due to the influence of the football simulator in this life, his life has taken a completely different path.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhang Chaoqiang asked first after the call was connected.

"Of course I look at the store, otherwise what can I do." The voice on the phone is still familiar, although a bit fierce, but very kind.

"Does the door open so early?" Zhang Chaoqiang realized that he was wrong as soon as the words came out, and he forgot about the time difference.

Sure enough, there was a scolding voice from the other end of the phone: "Why is it early, the sun is almost going down, is it still early?"

"Where's my dad? He's not in the store?" He used to call home, and every time his dad answered the phone, he would talk to Zhang Chaoqiang, but this time there was no sound at all, so he asked curiously.

"He went back to sleep after eating at noon. He said he wanted to rest early and wait to watch your game at night..."

Also affected by the football simulator, my dad who had nothing to do with football in his previous life turned into a fan in this life.

Not only support Zhang Chaoqiang to play football, but also pay attention to his situation at any time.

Some time ago, when Zhang Chaoqiang was badly hacked, his father became more and more angry, so he decided to tear up the black fans himself.

The old man deliberately registered an account online, and went to face off with the gang of black fans in person.

In the end, it was Zhang Chaoqiang who made a special phone call home to finally persuade him to give up his hands and spare those black fans.

At that time, this incident caused a lot of influence on the domestic Internet. The father personally went down to defend his son's reputation, which itself was a very topical news.

Of course, this incident also caused some black fans to become even more bewildered, and vowed to black Zhang Chaoqiang to the end.

※※※

After talking with his mother, Zhang Chaoqiang felt much calmer.

Eat a good breakfast first, or just bounce the ball by yourself to warm up when you have nothing to do.

Or play games.

Soon at noon, Zhang Chaoqiang called his friend Toliso, and the two went to the club together.

The final venue of the League Cup is in Paris, so the Lyon team had to start early.

After arriving at the club, Zhang Chaoqiang had another meal.

This is a nutritious meal arranged by the club, and the whole team eats it together.

After the meal, the team president Michel Aulas came in time, gave two words of encouragement to the whole team, and then took everyone out together.

As soon as he came out of the club gate, Zhang Chaoqiang was immediately surrounded by a burst of uniform shouts.

"Lyon! Lyon!!"

"Lyon! Lyon!!"

Outside the gate of the club was a dark crowd, they were all fans who came to see the team off.

Seeing the entire Lyon team come out, the crowd automatically separated into a passage without the security guards.

Zhang Chaoqiang followed his teammates through the passage, with arms stretched out from both sides from time to time.

Pull his sleeves and pat him on the shoulder.

Full of encouragement.

Although he has played three games for the team, this is the first time that Zhang Chaoqiang has felt the enthusiasm of the fans at close range.

In just a moment, the entire Lyon team had entered the bus.

As the car started slowly, the shouts outside also became louder.

This time, Lyon's goals are:

Send troops north to Paris!
