Chapter 18 The end of the season
On April 4th, in the 27th round of the Ligue 35, Lyon played against the mid-range team Bastia at home.

This time Lyon did not drop the chain again.

Gomi opened the scoring for the team in the opening 15 minutes, and Lacazette expanded the score before the end of the first half.

In the second half, Bicevac scored with a header, and Zhang Chaoqiang came off the bench and scored with a through ball from Gonarones in the 78th minute.

Lyon blossomed more and won the game 4:0 easily and happily.

But in other games played in the same round, Lille beat Bordeaux 3:1 at home, and Saint-Etienne beat Yveen 2:1 away.

Lyon is still one point behind Saint-Etienne and nine behind Lille.

However, there are only three rounds left in Ligue [-].

Now the Lyon fans are relieved and don't have to worry anymore.

They flooded into the club's official website to leave messages, demanding that Remy Gard dismiss get out of class.

Although the team won a League Cup this season, it is not enough to make up for the damage caused by the absence of the Champions League.

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang can clearly feel the change in the atmosphere in the team. Everyone seems to be preparing for the summer vacation.

Because the remaining three rounds simply don't matter.

But for Zhang Chaoqiang, the remaining few games are very important.

He also has to work hard to get the chance to play, and then take the opportunity to steal attributes.

In fact, in the match against Bastia, Zhang Chaoqiang managed to steal 3 burst points, raising his burst attribute to 60 points.

Now he has only three attributes of strength, reaction and jumping, less than 60 points.

As the Ligue [-] league comes to an end, the European competition is gradually beginning to come to an end.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid eliminated Chelsea in the Premier League with a score of 3:1 in two rounds, reaching the Champions League final again after 40 years.

In the other half, Real Madrid beat Bayern 5-0 in two rounds, which directly led to Bayern getting the nickname Wuren in China.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid joined forces in the Champions League final. This is not only the second time a La Liga team has won the Champions League final since the 99/00 season, but it is also the first time in the history of the Champions League that there has been a derby in the same city.

In the semi-finals of the Europa League, the La Liga civil war was tied 3:3 in two rounds. Sevilla eliminated Valencia by virtue of away goals and advanced.

The semi-final between Benfica and Juventus was more interesting.

In the first round, Benfica performed very well at home, facing Juventus without any disadvantage, and finally took the lead with a score of 2:1.

This is a score acceptable to both sides. Benfica won at home, but Juventus also scored an away goal, and they have a good chance to return to home.

Going to Juventus' away game in the second round, Benfica undoubtedly put up an iron bucket formation, trying to defend to the end.

Didn't expect it to work.

Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak played quite bravely and became famous in the first battle.

He made seven saves in the game, including two almost must-go goals, which he saved twice.

This made Juventus quite embarrassing, shouted the slogan of vowing to win the Europa League but was eliminated at home, and was eliminated by a non-five major league teams.

Juventus fans can only watch others compete for the championship at their home court.

The team coached by Conte is always like this. They play vigorously in the league, but they tend to stretch their hips in the European game.

So far this season's European finals teams have all been produced, the Champions League is Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid, and the Europa League is Sevilla against Benfica.

On May 5th, in the 4th round of the Ligue 36, Lyon challenged Marseille away.

Due to the lack of morale in the team, Lyon played poorly away from home.

The game time is less than 60 minutes, and Lyon has fallen behind by a big score of 1:4.

Remy Gard also seemed to be fishing. The team was three goals behind but he didn't panic at all. He waited until 80 minutes before replacing Zhang Chaoqiang as a substitute.

With the attribute bonus of [Mr. Key], Zhang Chaoqiang broke through from the wing and assisted Gomi to score in the 90th minute, gaining his first assist in Ligue [-].

At the same time, he also stole 4 attributes in the game, and raised his reaction to 57 points.

里昂客场2:4输球，死敌圣埃蒂安却主场2:0赢球，两队分差暂时扩大到4分。

Now there are more Lyon fans scolding Gard.

On May 5, in the 10th round of the Ligue 37, Lyon played against Lorient at home.

The translations of the names of the two teams are somewhat similar, but there is actually no connection.

On the contrary, the two teams played in this game have a lot in common, that is, the rookies peck each other.

Lyon has no intention of fighting, and Lorient has no worries about relegation, so everyone plays casually.

Zhang Chaoqiang once again got the chance to start. Recently, Jacques Freiro was negotiating with the management of Lyon about a salary increase, and by the way helped him win a chance.

So he became the one who wanted to win the most on the court.

He kept breaking through with the ball, kept looking for opportunities, and finally assisted Marblanco to score in the 36th minute through an inverted triangle return pass, winning the record of making goals in three consecutive games.

But his teammates cheated, and a low-level mistake in the second half gave the opponent a penalty.

In the end, the two teams shook hands with a score of 1:1, and each side scored one point.

As Saint-Etienne beat Nantes 3:1 away in this round of the league, the point difference between Lyon and Saint-Etienne expanded to 6 points.

This means that Saint-Etienne has secured the fourth place in Ligue [-] one round ahead of schedule.

"This is the first time in 92 years since the 93/21 season that Lyon has once again ranked lower than Saint-Etienne in the Ligue [-] standings."

"And it's very interesting that the 92/93 season was the last season of Lyon in the player era of Rémi Garde."

"So whether as a player or as a coach, Rémi Garde has managed to make Lyon inferior to Saint-Etienne..."

The ridicule of the French commentator clearly explained the main reason for the boos at the Gerland Stadium.

As a player from Lyon's youth training, Zhang Chaoqiang is also a bit embarrassed.

Although he is only a marginal substitute for the team, he does have a share of this embarrassing record.

So he had to divert his attention and check his attributes.

In this game, he stole another 2 points of strength, and after absorbing it, his strength attribute will reach 58 points.

※※※

A week passed quickly.

On May 5, the final game of the 17/2013 Ligue 14 season officially arrived.

Although it was the final battle, there was no tension.

Because all the places in Ligue [-] this season have been locked in advance, the final game is just a formality, and it only concerns some insignificant rankings.

Lyon challenged Nice, who succeeded in relegation one round ahead of schedule, and finally won 1-0 with Muwenba's goal. They did not end this failed season with a single defeat.

Zhang Chaoqiang still started and stole 2 strong points at the same time.

Now his explosiveness and strength have filled up to 60 points, but his reaction is only 57 points, and his jumping is only 56 points. For the time being, he still cannot unlock professional-level skills and awareness.

This season's Ligue [-] is over, and various places are officially released.

Paris won the Ligue 89 championship with 80 points, Monaco won the Ligue 71 runner-up with [-] points, and Lille won the Ligue [-] third place with [-] points. These three teams will represent Ligue [-] to participate in the Champions League next season.

Saint-Etienne won No.67 in Ligue 4 with 61 points, Lyon won No.5 in Ligue 16 with [-] points, plus Guingamp, who is No.[-] in Ligue [-] but won the French Cup, these three teams will represent Ligue [-] To participate in the Europa League next season.

On the other side of the relegation zone, Ajaccio, Valenciennes and Sochaux ranked last and were relegated.

In terms of player personal data, Ibrahimovic of Paris Saint-Germain won the Ligue 26 Golden Boot this season with 12 goals, and James Rodriguez of Monaco won the Ligue [-] with [-] assists. Assist king.
