Chapter 46

On November 11th, at 6:[-] pm local time in France, Lyon ushered in a challenge from Serie A Torino at home.

The coaching staff made big rotations for this game for strategic reasons, but the fans had simple thinking.

Lost away to Turin in the first round, so this time we have to work hard to win back at home, otherwise Lyon is not as good as the other side?

Domestic fans also attach great importance to this game, because this is Zhang Chaoqiang's European game.

"Turin, who are guests, have played their best, and they obviously attach great importance to this game."

"However, the home team Lyon did not arrange their most commonly used starting lineup this season. The formation has become 4231..."

Although the history of the Turin team has experienced the era of Greater Turin, it has been in decline for many years, and now it is an ordinary Serie A team.

Relying on the excellent performance of Immobile and Chelsea last season, they finally played a good season, which was not easy.

Immobile won the Serie A Golden Boot, Cerci won the Serie A assists leader, and both thighs worked hard to help Torino climb to the highest ranking in Serie A in 20 years-the seventh.

It stands to reason that the seventh in Serie A did not play in the European war, but Parma, who was sixth in Serie A, was deprived of the qualification for the European war due to financial problems, so Turin made up for the Europa League.

Torino finally appeared in the European competition after 20 years, so they attach importance to every game.

A team like Lyon, which plays European games every year, doesn't understand the hardships of the opponent at all.

But there is one thing to say, Turin has entered the Europa League final during the 90s Serie A World Cup, and Lyon has never entered any European finals in history.

Fournier changed Lyon's starting lineup to 4231, Zhang Chaoqiang served as the lone striker, Marblanco played as a left midfielder, Gourcuff played as a midfielder, and the center back was Bakary Kone from Burkina Faso to replace Umm Titi starts.

Lindsay Rose has completely lost the trust of Fournier, and now he basically cannot make the squad for the competition.

Turin's starting lineup is exactly the same as when they beat Lyon with two goals in the first round, with a 532 formation, two veterans, Amaury and Quagliarella, partnered with two forwards.

Immobile and Chelsea, who made great contributions to Turin last season, were sold by the Turin management as early as the summer for money.

※※※

The game officially started, and both sides played a little conservatively.

Lyon's lineup has changed drastically and key players are resting, so naturally they will not attack rashly.

Turin itself is a mid-lower team in Serie A, and they came to the Gerland Stadium for a draw.

As long as the two sides draw, Torino will be able to continue to hold the top spot in the group.

This caused both teams to dawdle in the opening 10 minutes, looking cautious.

In the 14th minute of the game, the first threatening attack finally came.

Gourcuff dribbled the ball in the front court and was pressed by the opposite side, so he hit Zhang Chaoqiang in front of the penalty area.

Zhang Chaoqiang hit the ball with the inside of his foot, and flicked the outside of his foot, as if he was going to swing his leg to hit the goal.

The eyes of the Turin players were all attracted by Zhang Chaoqiang's actions, and they immediately prepared to deal with his long shots.

But Zhang Chaoqiang stopped lightly, paused, and then poked the football forward.

With a rhythm change between movement and stillness, Zhang Chaoqiang won a short time for himself to enter the opponent's penalty area.

Wade into the penalty area and kick decisively.

There are people everywhere in the Torino penalty area, and it is unrealistic to continue dribbling the ball, so I quickly kicked it while there was space.

Bang! !

The football flew to the bottom right corner of the Torino goal.

Turin goalkeeper Pedley hurriedly fell to the ground to save, but couldn't touch the ball at all.

The football approached the goal against the turf, but in the surprised eyes of the Lyon fans who were about to witness the goal, it rubbed against the post and flew out of the baseline.

Oh----

Countless Lyon fans hugged their heads and exclaimed, this goal didn't go in?
"It's a pity. Zhang Chaoqiang took the ball very smoothly and easily let him find a chance to shoot. It's a pity that he was a little short."

"If this goal can be scored, it will definitely be an amazing goal."

"A simple pause creates opportunities. It can be seen that Zhang Chaoqiang is in a very good state tonight..."

Domestic commentators kept bragging for Zhang Chaoqiang, but Turin coach Ventura was quite upset and was yelling at his players.

It was not a good sign to be kicked by Zhang Chaoqiang shortly after the opening.

Ventura's coaching philosophy is different from that of traditional Italian coaches. He does not advocate defensive football, and likes to let his players train various offensive coordination.

At present, Turin is playing well under his training, and they defeated Lyon in this way in the first round.

But this time their little cooperation didn't work so well.

Lyon's overall strength is not inferior to the opponent's, and this game has a home momentum bonus. Even if the three main players are rotated, they still play well against the opponent.

As a result, the two teams played four to six on the scene, and Turin had a slight advantage.

But the real threat to offense is more from Lyon.

In the 27th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly counterattacked to attract three players from the opponent and then went straight forward. Veteran Marblanco received the ball on the left side of the opponent's penalty area, an excellent goal position without defense.

Reluctantly, he kicked the ball outside the side net.

In the 42nd minute, Zhang Chaoqiang cooperated with Jordan Ferry in the frontcourt, and suddenly raised his foot to shoot near the penalty area line.

This shot is very concealed, but unfortunately the distance is a little farther, and the Turin goalkeeper reacted and held the ball down.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0, and neither team could score for the time being.

But the two teams did not change tactics, let alone substitutions.

Because the coaches of both teams are fairly satisfied with the current situation.

The second half of the game began, and the scene remained the same.

In the 48th minute, Lyon got the ball for the first time and hit near the opponent's penalty area.

Zhang Chaoqiang moved at the right time and looked for opportunities in the area in front of the opponent's goal.

At the moment when he advanced into the penalty area, Marblanco picked and passed the ball tacitly.

So Zhang Chaoqiang took a step to the landing point, ready to catch the ball.

But Turin's defense was in place. As soon as Zhang Chaoqiang advanced, Torino central defender Maximovic immediately started and arrived almost at the same time as Zhang Chaoqiang.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang was a little embarrassed. If he stopped the ball and then dealt with it, the offense would definitely be destroyed.

In his haste, he didn't think much of it, and just stretched out his feet and gently patted the pad.

The football bounced off Zhang Chaoqiang's instep, returned to the air again, and crossed Maximovic's head in a small arc.

"Pick the ball!!" Lyon fans who were paying attention to the stadium exclaimed.

Maximovich, who was on the court, was also shocked by Zhang Chaoqiang's handling, hesitating and not knowing how to deal with it.

However, without any hesitation, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately let Maximovic rush to the opponent's back, facing the falling football, and directly swayed his legs!

Volley! !
Bang! ! !
This time the Turin goalkeeper Pedley failed to make any response, so he stood in front of the door blankly, as if he didn't know what happened.

But behind him, the football is already bouncing in the goal.

"Gooooooal————————" At the second when the football entered the goal, the commentators all over the world began to scream.

"China Super Zhang! Very beautiful goal!!"

"Pick the ball and then volley! This is a super exciting goal! It's unreal!"

"Shouldn't such a scoring method be performed by a South American genius?"

"Now there is an amazing Chinese player. He showed us a different football world in Europe. China also has its own talent, and Asia also has its own talent!"

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang has been raised to represent the whole of Asia.

He was a little confused after scoring the goal.

He was in good form tonight, but he never thought he would score a goal like this.

To be precise, in the technical consciousness transmitted to him by the football simulator, there is no such scoring option at all.

This goal was made entirely by his own flash of inspiration!
After being dazed for two seconds, Zhang Chaoqiang remembered to celebrate the goal.

But it's a little too late.

As soon as he ran a few steps, he was grabbed by Tolisso who rushed over frantically, and punched him with two fists.

"This ball is so handsome!"

"Good job!"

"Amazing."

"It's almost like Maradona possessed."

"The Italians must be terrified by you..."

Soon the teammates rushed over, and everyone cheered and celebrated together.
