Chapter 221
After the Valenciennes game, Paris Saint-Germain will play two league games in the next week.

The first start in the middle of the week is a make-up match for the No.30 four-round league in Ligue [-]. Paris Saint-Germain will go away to challenge the defending champion Lille, and then continue to play away on the weekend. The second opponent of the double match in the week is Rennes.

There are two away games within a week, and the game against Lille will be a very important game for Paris Saint-Germain, because on Thursday evening, the result of this strong dialogue may directly determine whether Paris Saint-Germain still has a chance to win the league championship.

Facing the defending champion, although Lille’s hope of defending the title this season is slim, its strength is still unquestionable. The team’s recent performance is also very good. It was a month ago that they lost in the league last time. St. Germain.

On the other hand, from the analysis of the historical records of the past two seasons, Lille has an advantage in several confrontations. With the main frame of the lineup basically preserved, the players in the Lille team naturally have the upper hand in terms of psychology. In addition, it is an away game, so Paris Saint-Germain's prospects this time are not optimistic.

However, analysis is always just analysis, and prediction is always just prediction. The outcome of a game still depends on the teams' performances on the spot.

Leaving aside the topic of predicting the outcome of the two teams, the biggest highlight of this game is the duel between Wang Zi and Hazard. The two players scored twice in their first match this season, and Paris Saint-Germain regretted that they could only shake hands with Lille at the Parc des Princes.

Therefore, it can be said that in the first match of this season, Wang Zi and Hazard were considered a tie.

The second match between the two is about to begin. As key figures in their respective teams who can change the situation of the game, Wang Zi and Hazard have of course become hot spots and gimmicks in the French media.

Every day since Monday, outside the training grounds of Paris Saint-Germain and Lille, there have been crowds of journalists wanting to interview the two key figures.

Outside the training base of Paris Saint-Germain, Wang Zi, who was blocked, was a little helpless, but he still answered some questions from the reporters.

When asked about the upcoming duel with Hazard, Wang Zi blurted out: "I know he also scored goals in the last round of the league, but I also read the latest league scorer rankings, so I want to tell Eden that he has to work harder."

This is a joke.

Wang Zi "teasing" this friend in the chat with Hazard two days ago. At that time, Hazard replied to Wang Zi very speechlessly, and he was the only one who could tease him.

The fact is also true. Hazard is no worse than other players except Wang Zi in the league's scorer list. In Lille's 3-0 victory over Caen in the last round of the league, Hazard scored a penalty. This is the No. 20 goal scored by Lille's core in the league.

That's why Hazard said that only Wang Zi can tease himself. After all, Wang Zi, the top scorer, has a high probability of being the league's Golden Boot this season.

After speaking, Wang Zi touched his nose with a smile. He was not afraid of how the reporters would "process" his interview, because Azar would definitely not believe it.

After all, two people who are friends with each other have contact information and can communicate directly, which is much more direct than reporters.

Later, a reporter asked: "In the first half of the season, Paris Saint-Germain drew 2:2 with Lille at home and ended in a draw. Both sides should be a little bit unwilling, so for the upcoming second round of the contest, does Paris Saint-Germain want to go further?"

Wang Zi smiled and said, "Of course, I don't want to lose."

After a pause, Wang Zi continued: "This game is very important to us, and everyone knows the significance of the game to the team, so I don't need to say anything more.

"Personally, I was a little bit reconciled to not being able to win the game at home in the last match, so I hope I can help the team beat the opponent."

The biggest advantage of the information age is that news can be transmitted to the outside world as soon as possible. Wang Zi's interview was completely published on the Internet a little later.

"I saw your interview with Wang yesterday, which is very interesting." Hazard said this in the first sentence of the interview the next day.

Then, a reporter asked, "Then, did Wang's words have any impact on you?"

"Not at all." Hazard shook his head: "Wang is a pure shooter, and I'm a little different from him, so I just have to be myself." Of course he wouldn't tell the reporters in front of him that Wang Zi had already teased him.

"Can I understand that you are admitting defeat?" Some reporters didn't think it was a big deal.

Glancing at the reporter who asked the question, Hazard shrugged: "How is it possible!"

Without continuing to answer this question, Hazard set his sights on other reporters, and he was ready to answer the next question.

"Wang said that he was a little unwilling to win against Lille last time. He played against Lille again. He hoped that he could help the team beat you. What about you?"

This question is much more normal. Hazard chose to answer, and said casually: "I feel the same as him. I was a little bit unwilling to take three points at the Parc des Princes last time. So this time at home, I will try my best to prevent them from scoring a single point."

After finishing speaking, Hazard suddenly thought of something, laughed and added: "Oh, by the way, you tell the king on my behalf, saying that I have already booked a hotel in Lille, and I will wait for him to pay the bill after the game."

Now that Wang Zi "washed" himself, Hazard of course chose to "counterattack" and go back.

-

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille was crucial, but Ancelotti did not appear nervous or anxious. At the press conference the day before the match, the Italian, who had experienced countless big scenes, said in an interview: "Judging from the current league rankings, we still have a chance to compete for the league championship, but we are passive. I only know that we are not the biggest favorites to win the championship now, so this requires a little luck to help us."

"Other than that, what we can do is win the remaining three league games. Before this game, there may be many fans who think that we can't even take a point at the Maurois Stadium, but this does not mean anything, because I think tomorrow's result should disappoint this part of the fans."

"In addition, through tomorrow's game, this can also test ourselves to a certain extent. Being able to defeat the league champion last season can still prove that we can win the league championship without relying on luck."

On the other side, Lille coach Rudy Garcia also said almost similar things. For the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Rudy Garcia was naturally unwilling to lose.

"Beating Paris Saint-Germain and winning the duel with Carlo Ancelotti will make me very happy and hopefully I can do it tomorrow."
