Chapter 19 Renewal of Contract
After returning from the away game in Nice, the whole Lyon team began to prepare to go their separate ways.

"Zhang, do you want to go to the Mediterranean Sea with me for vacation?" Tolisso made arrangements two weeks ago to go to the beach in the Mediterranean Sea to bask in the sun.

"No need, I still have to prepare to go back to China." Zhang Chaoqiang thanked the other party for his kindness.

"Really not going? There are endless beauties and bikinis on the beach." This kid looked like a pervert, and he was only drooling.

"Then take a second look, and take my share too..."

The teammates began to go on vacation one after another, and Zhang Chaoqiang continued to stay in Lyon.

The contract renewal negotiations between him and Lyon are about to be completed, so he has to wait until the contract is signed before returning to China.

By the way, while waiting for these few days, he absorbed the attributes stolen from the last game.

The five major European leagues have all ended, and the final champions of the five major leagues have all been produced.

The champion of the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich, and the champion of Serie A is Juventus. The ownership of the champions of these two major leagues is the least suspenseful.

However, these two teams have played unsatisfactorily in the European war this season.

Bayern, as the new Cosmos team, has a famous coach like Guardiola joining, and naturally aims to defend the Champions League.

But they were eliminated after only reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the most important thing was that they were massacred by Real Madrid at home.

That's really not very satisfying.

Not to mention Juventus, who were upset in the Champions League group stage, and then turned around to win the Europa League, but were eliminated by Benfica, which is really a bit embarrassing.

However, they are very fierce in Serie A, winning the championship with a super high score of 102 points. They are the first team in the history of the five major leagues to score more than [-] points in a season.

The final champion of La Liga belongs to Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets are the biggest dark horse in European football this season. La Liga overwhelmed Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the championship, and successfully reached the final of the Champions League.

If they can defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and win the championship, it will definitely be the most legendary season in the history of Atletico Madrid, and the bandit coach Simeone can directly become a god.

The final champion of the Premier League belongs to Manchester City.

Liverpool once led Manchester City by 7 points with four rounds left in the Premier League, although that lead was a bit too much because Manchester City had two less games.

But in any case, the initiative of the championship at that time was indeed in the hands of Liverpool.

It's a pity that everything is fate.

In the penultimate round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Chelsea at home, which was the last hurdle for the Red Army to win the championship.

You must know that it was during the semi-finals of the Champions League, and Chelsea focused all their energy on the Champions League, and only sent a substitute lineup to Anfield away.

However, Liverpool failed to seize the opportunity, perhaps because the psychological pressure was too great.

Gerrard slipped and sent Demba Ba to score, Torres assisted William as a substitute to seal the victory, Liverpool lost 0:2 at home to Chelsea, and gave up the initiative in the championship.

Blue Moon, who accidentally picked up the initiative, was naturally relentless, and won the Premier League championship with a knife.

Chinese fans have always had an old saying:

Whether it is bitter or not, look at the Red Army Liverpool.

This is not true.

After the end of the five major leagues, it will soon be the European finals that have attracted much attention.

The results of the first UEFA Europa League final were good to hear. Benfica lost the European final again. They fought Sevilla fiercely for 120 minutes and lost in the penalty shootout.

European fans once again set off discussions, and Gutman's curse took effect again.

In the 1961/62 UEFA Champions League final in ancient times, Benfica, at its peak, defeated Real Madrid 5:3 under the leadership of the famous coach Bella Gutman, winning the Champions League for two consecutive years.

After the end of the season, Gutman proposed a salary increase to the Benfica board of directors, but was brutally rejected.

Because the Benfica board of directors believes that their team is the best in Europe, and winning the championship is a matter of course, and the coach has no credit at all.

In today's parlance, it is a dog crown, and a dog on the coach's bench can win the championship.

Gutman resigned unbearably humiliated and angry. When he left, he issued the famous football mantra: "From today, Benfica will never win any European championship in 100 years."

At that time, Gutman was mostly just venting his anger in a moment of anger, but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy.

Since then, Benfica has reached five Champions League finals and three Europa League finals, adding up to a total of eight finals, all of which have been lost.

And if you look at the history carefully, every time Benfica is in the finals, they are one move away and lose the championship with a slight disadvantage.

In the 1962/63 UEFA Champions League final, Benfica lost 1:2 to AC Milan.

In the 1964/65 UEFA Champions League final, Benfica lost 0:1 to Inter Milan.

1967/68赛季欧冠决赛，本菲卡1:4不敌曼联，但双方常规时间战成1:1平，加时赛才输的。

In the 1982/83 Europa League final, Benfica lost 1:2 to Anderlecht.

In the 1987/88 UEFA Champions League final, Benfica 0-0 Eindhoven and lost the championship in a penalty shootout.

In the 1989/90 UEFA Champions League final, Benfica lost 0:1 to AC Milan.

In the Europa League final of the 2012/13 season, Benfica was defeated by Chelsea 1:2.

In the Europa League final of the 2013/14 season, Benfica 0:0 Sevilla, lost again in a penalty shootout.

The point is that even the youth team won't let go of this curse.

Last season, the Benfica youth team successfully reached the Youth Champions League final, but still only won the runner-up.

After the Europa League final, the only thing left in European football is the Champions League final.

On May 2014, 5, the Champions League final of this season was held as scheduled at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal.

Atletico Madrid took the lead early in the first half and adopted their best defensive tactics. Seeing that they had defended to the stoppage time and the championship was close at hand, they were headed by Ramos at 92 minutes and 48 seconds. Absolutely flat.

In overtime, Atletico Madrid couldn't stand it anymore, lost three goals in a row and collapsed, and watched Real Madrid win the tenth Big Ears Cup with a score of 1:4.

After the Champions League final, fans began to turn their attention to the southern hemisphere, looking forward to the World Cup held in Brazil in South America.

The day after the Champions League final, Lyon's official website issued an announcement.

"Ligue [-] defenders, please pay attention. We are very pleased to announce that Zhang has reached a three-year contract extension with Lyon Club. You are ready to meet the challenge of this Eastern super striker."

At the same time as the announcement, Lyon's official website also released a photo of Zhang Chaoqiang's contract renewal signing.

Soon, the local Lyon media "Progress" revealed that Zhang Chaoqiang's annual salary after the contract renewal is 100 million euros. If the goal bonus and ranking bonus in the contract are added, Zhang Chaoqiang's real annual salary is about 110 million to 130 million euros. between.

Three days after Zhang Chaoqiang's contract renewal announcement was released, Lyon's official website released another message.

Rémi Garde is no longer the head coach of the Lyon team due to physical and personal reasons. The club thanks him for his contribution to the team over the past three years and wishes him all the best in the future.

The day after the news of the coach's dismissal was released, Lyon's official website quickly announced the new coach candidate.

Hubert Fournier officially became the head coach of Lyon, and the two sides signed a two-year coaching contract.

Tolisso, who was playing far away on the beach in the Mediterranean Sea, finally learned of the new coach candidate from his agent, and immediately called his friend Zhang Chaoqiang.

At this time, Zhang Chaoqiang had already returned to China and had just gotten off the plane.
