Rebirth Football Simulator

Chapter 29
Two days after the European group stage draw, on August 8, the fourth round of Ligue 31 will come.

The Lyon team came to the northeast of France to challenge the Metz team away.

Another newly promoted horse.

Many Chinese fans have a certain impression of Metz, because Wang Chu received youth training here in his early years and was a roommate with Pjanic, and he performed very well during the youth training, and was praised by many French media.

It's a pity that it was eventually destroyed by injuries and failed to really grow up.

Metz's situation in recent years has not been very good. Not only was he relegated, but he was also relegated to Ligue [-] for a time. He only returned to Ligue [-] last season as the champion of Ligue [-].

In the part of stealing attributes before the start of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang chose from left to right, and found that the opponent was full of low attributes. In the end, he chose Argentine defender Palomino and stole 4 points of strength from him.

There really wasn't anyone with a high explosiveness on the opposite side to steal, so I had to choose this guy with a strong attribute of 91 and make up for it.

The game officially started, and Zhang Chaoqiang once again experienced the difficulty of the relegation team.

Conservative tactics, rough defense, and a tough bone.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang has unlocked professional-level skills and awareness, he found that there is really not much he can do when faced with intensive defense.

On the contrary, facing those teams that actively press to attack, I can always use my speed advantage to find opportunities.

So a tough battle started at the San Severon Stadium.

Zhang Chaoqiang rushed back and forth from left to right, making brilliant breakthroughs from time to time.

But he himself is very clear that this level of breakthrough is far from enough to threaten Metz's goal.

On the contrary, Lacazette, who has fewer balls, performed very well. As long as he stops in the opponent's penalty area, the opponent has to be careful.

This is the difference between the two.

When fighting back, Zhang Chaoqiang's role is obviously greater than that of Lacazette.

But in the tough battle, Lacazette's role is obviously greater than that of Zhang Chaoqiang.

Lyon faced the conservative Metz's delay in opening the situation, and finally relied on Lacazette's performance to score the goal.

In the 68th minute of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang broke through from the right and was blocked. He took advantage of the situation and knocked the ball back to Jordan Ferry.

Ferry kicked in a cross and successfully sent the ball to Lacazette's side.

Lacazette resisted the opposing defender's sideways kick, and Lyon finally knocked the turtle shell open.

After opening up the situation, the generals of Lyon thought that the game would be easier to play, but it was not.

Metz, who lost the ball, immediately launched a counterattack, and it took only 4 minutes to equalize the score.

With a free kick opportunity, Metz midfielder Embatok scored with a supplementary shot.

This time the game is back on track again.

After 80 minutes of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang successfully got the bonus of Mr. Key, and he longed for another lore to kill the Savior.

But the result was just the opposite.

In the 87th minute, Metz took advantage of Lyon's opportunity to attack and played a beautiful counterattack. The Venezuelan striker Juan Falcon, who came off the bench, even passed Gonarones and Bicevac and pierced the Lyon goal.

For the first time, Zhang Chaoqiang personally experienced the feeling of being killed by someone.

Quite sour.

"In all seriousness and fairness, Fournier's start to Lyon has been a failure."

"Although the UEFA Europa League has successfully entered the main match and has won by a large score, the two rounds of qualifying are facing the underdogs in Eastern Europe, which is not very convincing."

"In Ligue [-], Lyon faced mid-lower teams in the first four rounds, but Fournier only handed over a report card with one win, one draw and two losses."

"You must know that last season Lyon started with two wins and two losses in the first four rounds, and they ended up only ranking fifth in Ligue [-]..."

Amidst the skepticism, the Lyon players thanked the Lyon fans who accompanied the team to the away game.

But only a little sparse applause.

Obviously, the fans have also begun to wonder whether Hubert Fournier's level is not as good as that of Remy Gard.

※※※

Lyon was defeated by Metz in the away game, and its position in the Ligue 15 standings fell to No.[-], not far from the relegation zone.

Since it will be the national team match day, Lyon will have to stay in this position for a long time.

Fortunately, Lyon is not alone, because the No.16 behind is Monaco.

Monaco's results in the first four rounds are the same as Lyon's, with one win, one draw and two losses. Monaco is behind Lyon due to a goal difference disadvantage.

The two teams can be described as difficult brothers.

Bordeaux is currently at the top of the Ligue [-] table, with three wins and one draw accumulating ten points.

In this round, Bordeaux drew 1:1 with Bastia at home, and the winning streak came to an end.

The league has just entered the fourth round, and there is no team in Ligue [-] with a complete victory.

This also reflects to a certain extent the current situation in Ligue [-] this season-chaos.

However, the situation in Greater Paris has improved. This round of Ibrahimovic came back to wear a cap. Greater Paris beat Saint-Etienne 5-0 at home, and jumped to the second position in the standings.

The current top four rankings in Ligue [-] are: Bordeaux, Paris, Lille, and Marseille.

According to the French media, this is the normal Ligue [-] ranking.

As for Lyon and Monaco, both teams have undergone coaching changes in the summer and it may take a while to get back on track.

In fact, this is just a conjecture based on the result to infer the cause.

Bordeaux and Marseille also experienced coaching changes in the summer, but they have performed well for the time being, so no one talks about them.

After returning to Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang heard a lot of rumors about Fournier.

With a poor record in leading the team, it is natural to encounter all kinds of doubts.

However, some exaggerated media actually swear that Lyon chairman Aulas is already looking for a new coach, and Fournier is on the verge of dismissing get out of class.

Zhang Chaoqiang dismissed this at all.

Lyon is not Chelsea, and they will fire the coach at every turn.

Zhang Chaoqiang feels that no matter how poor Lyon's record is, Fournier can at least survive until the winter break.

What's more, Ligue [-] has only started four rounds at present, and the points ranking at this time is not very convincing at all.

Personally speaking, Zhang Chaoqiang still hopes that Fournier will continue to coach, because he is reused by his subordinates.

But even if Fournier really dismisses get out of class, Zhang Chaoqiang believes that as long as the new coach is not blind, he can still get a chance.

Taking advantage of the short break on the national team match day, the well-known French sports media "L'Equipe" conducted a small summary of Ligue [-].

The Lyon striker duo composed of Zhang Chaoqiang and Lacazette has received a lot of pages and is considered to be the most unexpected combination in Ligue [-] in the new season.

After Lacazette was placed in the middle, his power increased significantly, and Zhang Chaoqiang also performed well in the winger position.

Since the new season, Lyon has played a total of 8 games, Zhang Chaoqiang and Lacazette's data are very good.

Lacazette played in all 8 games and contributed 5 goals, including 3 goals in Ligue 2 and [-] goals in the Europa League.

Zhang Chaoqiang only played 7 games and contributed 4 goals, including 1 goal in Ligue 3 and [-] goals in the Europa League.

The two teamed up to score 9 goals, which is really not bad.

The key two guns are not very old, Lacazette is 23 years old, and Zhang Chaoqiang is only 19 years old.

So "L'Equipe" said at the end of the comment: "The future of both of them should be in the rich."

In fact, it is precisely because of the good performance of the strikers that the media have higher expectations for Lyon.

As a result, Fournier accidentally became the backer.
