Chapter 79 Tiredness

The Europa League semi-finals played two 3-0 games. Even a fool knows that this year's Europa League final is likely to be Lyon vs. Sevilla.

So Lyon can prepare for the final in advance and consider how to play Sevilla.

In the same way, Sevilla can also make the same arrangement.

However, both sides must take into account the domestic arena.

Lyon leads Paris by three points in Ligue [-] and must strive to the end to win the championship.

Sevilla temporarily ranks fifth in La Liga, three points behind Valencia, who is fourth, and they will not give up easily.

Although the Europa League champions can directly qualify for the Champions League, they cannot guarantee that they will win the championship.

※※※

On May 5th, in the 10th round of Ligue 36, Lyon challenged Caen away.

As one of the newly promoted Caen, they fell into the relegation zone before, but now they climbed out.

Although the relegation was not successful, the overall pressure was not great.

Due to a fierce battle with Naples in the middle of the week, Lyon was very slow to enter the state after the start of the game.

In the 31st minute, Kanter stole the ball from Tolisso, dribbled the ball forward himself, and found his own player in the penalty area with a straight kick.

Caen striker Privat took the ball and hit the goal, directly breaking the Lyon goal.

"It's a surprise that Lyon conceded the ball first."

"Since the Rhone derby draw, Lyon have won all three league games in the last three league games and have never been behind."

"But now they are actually behind Caen."

"We must know that Lyon has already lost points to the two newly promoted teams of Lens and Metz this season. Are they going to lose points to the third newly promoted team of Caen?"

In the amazement of the French commentator, at the end of the first half, Lyon temporarily fell behind Caen 0:1.

During the intermission, the head coach was speaking, but most of the players were in a state of bowing their heads.

Fournier is very clear that the team has a very obvious fatigue.

Fortunately, the season is coming to an end, just try to survive the last few games.

At the beginning of the second half, Fournier immediately replaced Marblanco, who had performed well recently, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

The scene remained deadlocked.

Everyone in the Lyon coaching staff, no matter standing or sitting, all stretched their necks and stared at the court.

They are very clear that if they lose this game, Na Ang will completely lose the initiative in the championship.

In the French Ligue 6 match last night, Greater Paris frantically slaughtered Guingamp 0-[-] at home.

As long as Lyon loses, the opponent will officially reach the top of the Ligue [-] table, and will definitely stay at the top of the table until the end of the season.

Fournier never took his eyes off the pitch, but his mind began to wander.

Fortunately, the Europa League is basically locked in the final. Even if the Ligue [-] champion cannot be won, there is still the Europa League champion to compete for.

Fortunately, I listened to the advice and did not give up the Europa League.

But if the Europa League is given up early, the league should win the championship smoothly, right?
If this game is lost, do you want to give up the last two rounds of the league and directly prepare for the Europa League final?
Suddenly, the wandering Fournier felt the surroundings suddenly quiet down.

A moment later, ear-piercing cheers and howls sounded in his ears.

"Come in! Come in!!"

"Finally in, it's so beautiful!"

Everyone on the coaching staff hugged and cheered frantically, and Fournier also came back to his senses, seeing the scoreboard officially jump from 1:0 to 1:1.

"Super Zhang!! It's him again!!"

"He received a pass from his teammate in front of the penalty area. Caen relaxed his defense a little. He immediately shot a long-range world wave and successfully helped Lyon equalize the score."

"As long as Lyon don't lose, they can continue to keep the top spot."

"What's more, the game has only lasted 75 minutes, and they still have time to reverse and win and take away three points!"

It may be due to fatigue. In this game, everyone in Lyon did not feel very good at shooting, including Zhang Chaoqiang.

Now relying on the world wave hit by mistake, Lyon finally equalized the score.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the world, Lyon continued to launch an offensive, trying to reverse the game in one breath.

In the 78th minute, Marblanco and Tolisso hit the wall and then went straight forward. Zhang Chaoqiang caught the ball on the line of the penalty area and waded into the right side of the penalty area.

He stopped suddenly, kicked the ball back with his right foot, and directly shook away the two defenders who were following him.

Then he kicked the ball with his left foot and rubbed it to the far post.

After the football flew out, Zhang Chaoqiang knew that the ball was not played well.

After all, it was played with the left foot and did not catch the ball.

But sometimes luck comes, and no one can stop it.

Lacazette rushed to the goal when the ball was about to slide past.

Lift your foot and stack the ball into the opponent's goal.

After the goal, Lacazette gave Zhang Chaoqiang a thumbs up, and then rushed over to hug him to celebrate.

Zhang Chaoqiang always felt weird.

Could this be the legendary kicking and mixing assist?

"Go in again! Lyon scored another goal, this time with two guns!!"

"Super Zhang used his speed to break through and give Lacazette an assist. We have seen this scene many times!"

"Lyon scored two consecutive goals in just 3 minutes to reverse the score. They are still the most powerful contenders for the Ligue [-] championship!"

The two strikers scored a goal each, and Lyon finally reversed the score.

In the following time, Fournier quickly replaced and adjusted, trying to hold on to this hard-won reversal.

The home team Caen was very active. After 80 minutes, Thomas Lemar, a young demon in the team, was replaced, which had a certain impact on Lyon's defense.

But in general, there was no danger. Lyon reversed and won 2:1 in the away game, and scored three points with difficulty.

"Including the goals in this game, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 17 goals in Ligue [-], successfully surpassing Yang Chen and becoming the Chinese player with the most goals in the five major leagues."

"At the beginning, Yang Chen scored 65 goals in 16 games in the Bundesliga, but now Zhang Chaoqiang successfully broke the record in only 41 games in Ligue [-]!"

At the end of the game, the domestic commentary added a new record to Zhang Chaoqiang.

So far this season, Zhang Chaoqiang has played 34 times in Ligue 15, contributing 13 goals and [-] assists.

再加上赛季的7场2球2助攻，张超强的法甲即时总数据是41场17球15助攻。

17 Ligue [-] goals, which also made Zhang Chaoqiang the second-most Asian player in Ligue [-].

Park Joo-young scored the most goals in Ligue 25 with 17 goals, followed by Japanese player Daisuke Matsui, who played in Ligue [-] for six seasons and scored [-] goals.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has caught up with Matsui Daisuke and is expected to surpass him this season.

As for Park Joo-young, there are only two games left in Ligue [-] this season, and Zhang Chaoqiang will definitely not be able to catch up.

※※※

Lyon scored three points away and did not give Paris a chance to chase points.

But the French media is also very clear that Lyon is exhausted, and I don't know if they can survive until the end of the season.

There are two rounds left in Ligue [-] this season. Lyon's schedule is to play Rennes away first, and then play Bordeaux at home.

Paris' schedule is to challenge Montpellier away first, and then return to face Reims at home.

There is no doubt that Paris has an easier schedule.

And they have not been dragged down by the European war.

In the standings after 36 rounds of Ligue 81, Lyon has 78 points, Paris has 64 points, Monaco has 63 points, Marseille and Bordeaux have 61 points, and Saint-Etienne has [-] points.

At present, Ligue [-] is not only fiercely competing for the championship, but also fighting for the third place.

So in the last round of Lyon's home game against Bordeaux, it is likely to be a life-and-death battle for both sides to win.

Lyon wants to win the championship, and Bordeaux wants to qualify for the Champions League.

Neither side will give in easily.

The only good news for Lyon is that Ibrahimovic is injured again.

He suffered a calf injury after Paris' home win over Guingamp and should miss the final two rounds.
