Chapter 69 Hitting the Double Crown?

Lyon won 2:0 against Besiktas at home, which is a very ideal score.

Although it is not a stable promotion, at least the chance is great.

So Fournier quickly adjusted the team's focus and turned their goal to the weekend's Ligue [-] league.

With the continuous good performance this season, the number of Zhang Chaoqiang's Instagram fans is also increasing rapidly, and recently just exceeded 30.

More than half of them are Lyon fans in France, and some Chinese fans specially registered to follow him.

After defeating Besiktas at home, many Turks came to congratulate him on his social media.

"Well done, Chinese!"

"Teach the bastards of Besiktas a lesson."

"Get rid of Besiktas, I'm your fan."

Besiktas, as one of the three major powerhouses in Turkey, has many fans who support it and hates it even more.

So those who came to Zhang Chaoqiang's social media to congratulate were basically fans of the other two teams, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray was eliminated at the bottom of the Champions League group stage, and Fenerbahce was banned from the European war. Of course, they don't want to see Besiktas have a better life.

European fans are so pure.

You said helping your country's league to earn European points?

That's all bullshit!
In the face of the hatred of the mortal enemy, I only hope that your death will be as miserable as possible.

On May 3th, in the 15th round of the Ligue 29, Lyon challenged Marseille away.

Marseille was in very good form in the first half of the season, ranking first in Ligue [-] most of the time.

But in the second half of the season, their state obviously declined, and they are currently trying to keep the third.

Since Monaco has taken the lead in scoring three points in this round, Marseille must score points at home.

If they lose at home, their lead over Monaco will be reduced to one game, which is very dangerous.

When Marseille topped the table early in the season, Monaco were still in the relegation zone.

Even in the middle of the season, Marseille once led Monaco by 14 points.

Now it has been reduced to compete with Monaco for three, and Marseille fans are quite upset.

Winning first is not winning, and Marseille fans can be regarded as having experienced this truth firsthand.

Marseille's goal is to keep a tie and win, and Lyon's goal is to keep a tie and win.

So the two sides fought for 10 and 0 minutes, and when the referee blew the final whistle, the score was still 0:[-].

Marseille's state in the second half of the season itself was not good, and Lyon spent a lot of energy playing the Europa League in the middle of the week.

Especially Zhang Chaoqiang, he worked hard for the whole game before finally helping Lyon win Besiktas, so his performance in this game was mediocre.

Lacazette was very active in the game, but he was still unable to break the game alone.

In this way, both sides take one point each, which is acceptable.

With this draw, Marseille temporarily leads Monaco by four points, and the advantage is still one game away.

Lyon relied on this draw to extend their lead over Paris to seven points.

This round of the Grand Paris game was played earlier, and they were beaten by Bordeaux 3:2 in the away game.

In addition to Bordeaux playing well in Paris' loss, it was also dragged down by the Champions League to a certain extent.

In the away game against Chelsea in the middle of the week, Paris fell behind twice and equalized twice. It took a lot of energy to eliminate Chelsea. It is impossible for them to be completely unaffected.

Lyon also knew that Paris had lost, so they were willing to accept a draw.

The current top six in the Ligue [-] standings are:
Lyon 64 points, Paris Grande 57 points, Marseille 54 points, Monaco 50 points, Bordeaux 48 points, Saint-Etienne 47 points.

Lyon drew with Marseille away and successfully extended their lead by one point.

Unexpectedly, there was another good news in the next two days.

In Paris' away game against Bordeaux, Ibrahimovic scored two goals and still failed to save the team, so he left the field cursing at the end of the game.

But for a big star like him, every word and deed will be closely watched.

After the game, the media intercepted Ibrahimovic’s curse clips. After interpretation, it was concluded that he scolded in English. The basic content is:

"This game is like shit, the referee is like shit. Labor and management have never seen such a rubbish country as France..."

This time Ibrahimovic angered everyone. He made a lot of money on the French territory, and then called France the most rubbish country.

It is typical to put down the bowl and scold your mother, and scold the cook when you are full.

The French fans were very angry. Many people went to Ibrahimovic's social media and cursed him, asking him to leave France as soon as possible.

Although Ibrahimovic quickly apologized through the official media of Grand Paris afterwards, saying that he was only dissatisfied with the referee and did not target France.

But the fans simply didn't believe it.

Many people even think that Ibrahimovic did not apologize at all, but that the official media in Paris just apologized on his behalf.

This season Ibrahimovic is definitely unfavorable. He was kicked and injured at the beginning of the season, and has been injured since then, which led to Paris' long-term poor performance in Ligue [-].

In the second half of the season, he finally recovered from his injury and got back to a certain state, but this happened again.

By the way, in the away game against Chelsea in the middle of the week, the Parisian player who was sent off with a red card in just half an hour was Ibrahimovic.

If it weren't for the two Brazilian central defenders David Luiz and Thiago Silva, Paris would probably be out.

So back in Ligue [-], Ibrahimovic wanted to prove himself with goals, but he scored twice and was still killed.

So he felt unhappy, and cursed a few dirty words, but was caught right away.

French officials have issued a statement that they will investigate Ibrahimovic's curse incident.

If it is true, Ibrahimovic will be suspended to a certain extent.

Of course, the suspension was in the name of insulting the referee.

It seems that there is no such thing as a ban on insulting France in the official regulations of Ligue [-].

But no matter what, if Ibrahimovic is really suspended, the strength of Paris will definitely be weakened to a certain extent.

This is undoubtedly good news for Lyon's championship.

"Hubert, would you like a cup of coffee?"

"No, thank you."

In the Lyon club chairman's office, Aulas and Fournier sat opposite each other.

After refusing the chairman's coffee, Fournier asked bluntly: "Mr. Chairman, is there anything you want me to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you casually." Aulas took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then asked, "How is the team doing recently?"

"It's not bad. The overall state of the team is very good, and there are not too many injuries." Fournier replied while thinking about the purpose of the chairman calling himself here.

The other party should not be as simple as chatting casually, but probably has something to order.

"I believe you should have read the newspapers. That Swede has caused trouble for Paris again." There was a newspaper under Aulas' cup, and the front page was the report of Ibrahimovic scolding France as a garbage country.

"Well, if the Swede is suspended, it will be very helpful for us in the championship." Fournier casually echoed.

"I have received news that Ligue [-] officials will suspend Ibrahimovic for three to five games." With a smile on his face, Aulas was obviously very satisfied with Ibrahimovic's suspension.

Then he asked again: "Now there are nine rounds left in the league, and we lead Paris by seven points."

Aulas stopped talking at this point.

Fournier didn't know what the old guy meant, so he thought for a while before he promised: "I will do my best to help the team win the league championship. If I can't do it, I will resign at the end of the season."

When Fournier wants to come, Aulas wants to get a guarantee from him that he will definitely win the championship.

Leading by seven points in the nine rounds, it is indeed unreasonable not to win the championship with this advantage.

"No, you misunderstood me." Aulas declined Fournier's guarantee and explained: "I think the team's lead in Ligue [-] is obvious, and we can pay due attention to the European war..."

"But in that case, we are likely to be unstable in the league. Even if Paris does not have Ibrahimovic, their overall strength cannot be ignored..."

"I believe in your ability..."

Aulas' intention is obvious, he wants Fournier to lead the team to the double crown.

Ligue [-] champions, Europa League champions, both champions.

Although the Europa League is not as valuable as the Ligue [-] champions, it is a European championship after all.

You must know that in the entire French football world, only two teams have won the European Championship.

In the 92/93 season, Marseille won the Champions League.

In the 95/96 season, Paris won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

If Lyon can win the Europa League, it will definitely be very topical.

And Aulas believes that even if he fails to hit the double crown and fails to win a championship in the end, it is definitely not a loss.

Because there is a guarantee.

　It is scheduled to be put on the shelves next Friday, and I hope you will support me a lot.
