Chapter 103 Changing the Situation

After two consecutive defeats in the league, Cannes has reached a critical moment.

If you lose another game, the morale of the team will be very bad.

In the next few rounds, there will be no cup competitions in Cannes, which is an excellent moment to regain confidence!

However, at this critical moment, the call of the national team came.

Yes, not the Olympic team, but the national team.

The East Asian Football Championship is about to start, of course, Li Ze doesn't have to participate.

After all, the candidates for the East Asian Football Championship have already been decided, and he used to go to watch.

In the national team competition in 08, in addition to the Olympic team, the national team competition is also very important.

After all, the World Cup preliminaries will start soon, which is related to whether China can enter the 2010 World Cup.

Of course, Li Ze doesn't need to worry about the world preliminaries.

After all, the position of the national team is a radish and a pit. How can he be qualified to play without a backer?
But even if he couldn't play, in order to see if he was obedient, the superior still called him back.

In desperation, Li Ze could only choose to return home.

What surprised him was that his return attracted the attention of many fans, and many fans surrounded him in several games.

Li Ze was surprised by this, but his mood didn't improve either.

Then, as he expected, the national team just asked him to come back to sit on the bench, and he had no chance to play.

The Olympic team happened to need training too, so Li Ze followed suit.

At this time, the roster for the 08 Olympic Games has not yet come out, and Li Ze is a little worried that he will be selected.

He didn't try to be lazy during the training, he just finished the training normally.

As for the others, he didn't dare to communicate deeply, for fear that the other party might be a gambler, so he only dared to chat about some boring things.

His attitude was obvious, and it was impossible for others to post his cold ass, so Li Ze was put on hold.

When the time came, Li Ze quickly returned to Cannes by plane.

"You didn't play a single official game when you went back?" Jacques was going crazy, "Then what did you do when you went back?"

"I can't help it." Li Ze was still able to stabilize his mind.

During his time away, the Cannes League lost two more games, 3:4 to Le Havre and 0:1 to last season's old rival Clermont.

It is worth mentioning that Le Havre is now ranked second in the standings and is one of the strong teams in Ligue [-].

Being able to score 3:4 with Le Havre is enough to show that the Cannes players performed very well in this game.

However, the problem of Cannes' defense is still quite serious.

If I remember correctly, against Le Havre in the first half of the season, Cannes's defense also conceded 4 goals.

As for Clermont, after the silence in the first half of the season, Clermont, who did not forget to sign in during the winter break, finally paid off.

Now they have squeezed into the top five in the league, no longer the Clermont team that lost to Cannes last season.

In the two games, they encountered two strong teams from Ligue [-]. Even when Li Ze was there, Cannes did not dare to say that they could win them. Losing is also a normal thing.

But the problem is that after losing these two games, Cannes has lost four games in a row!

If they continue to lose like this, who knows if Cannes will continue to lose and lose all the places for relegation.

"What are you panicking about? Didn't I come back?" Li Ze was very confident.

But after coming back, his first game was not a league game, but the semi-final of the French League Cup.

This time, the opponent in Cannes is Lens.

Lens played in Ligue [-] this season, and his performance can be described as quite tangled.

Although in the French League Cup, Lens has won many battles.

In the quarter-finals, Lens eliminated Le Mans directed by Rudy. The battle between the two sides became 4:4. In the end, Lens defeated Le Mans in a penalty shootout.

After this race, Le Mans was eliminated in both cup competitions and could concentrate on the league.

On the other side, Lens eliminated Le Mans, but in the league, Lens' performance was poor.

Now that 23 league rounds have passed, Lens has only accumulated 27 points.

The bottom three in the league has 26 points, only 1 point less than Lens!
If you continue to focus on the cup, Lens will be at risk of relegation!

However, it is not easy for a club like Lens to come close to the glory of the championship.

There are at most two games left in the French League Cup. How could Lens give up?

Especially for the head coach Jean-Pierre Papin, if he can't lead the team to avoid relegation or win the French League Cup, otherwise he will definitely be relegated!

Although he was the winner of the Ballon d'Or when he was a player, he won five consecutive Ligue [-] top scorers and three consecutive Champions League top scorers, but after becoming the head coach, all the glory of the player period was fake.

If he can't lead the team to achieve results, even if he was a Golden Globe winner, the team will not keep him.

Compared with league relegation, the French League Cup champion is more real.

As long as the next two enemies are defeated, Lance will be able to win the championship!

In this away game against Cannes, Lens' main players are all out!

Then Lens lost 1:3 to Cannes...

In this game, Cannes is also the main force.

Li Ze held back for more than half a month without playing football, and this game broke out immediately.

He scored a double in the first half and kicked the Lens players into confusion.

In the second half, the Lens players tried to counterattack and managed to get back a goal, but Li Ze extended the score again.

Lens conceded three goals, and all three goals were scored by Li Ze!
In the French League Cup, Li Ze only played 2 games and scored 5 goals!

Such a performance surprised the former Golden Globe winner Papin.

"He is a talented shooter, and the forward position should be his home!" At the press conference, Papan praised Li Ze in every possible way, "If he is willing to come to my team, I will train him in five years. Become a world-class shooter!"

It is unusual for a former Ballon d'Or striker to say such words.

Cannes fans were outraged by this.

"Lance will be relegated next season, what qualifications do you have to coach Lee?"

"Why doesn't Lee stay in Cannes if he's going to Lens?"

"As the winner of the Ballon d'Or, Pierre's skills are a hundred times higher than his coaching level! No, I may be wrong, because his coaching level can only be negative!"

Compared to the anger of the fans, Li Ze himself responded to Papan very kindly.

"I'm very happy that he can say that. His affirmation is a great encouragement to me. But more important than the future is now, we must continue to work hard for the French League Cup championship and to avoid relegation in the league."

In the 26th round of the league, Cannes will play against Brest at home.

Like Cannes, Brest is now in the middle of the league.

Looking at the standings, the two teams can be said to be neck and neck.

However, after the contest between the two sides, the Brest fans fell silent.

"4:0! Unbelievable, Cannes beat Brest 4:0!"

"Lee scored 1 goal, Angulo scored 2 goals, Nicola scored 1 goal, they are all Cannes heroes!"

"The best player in the game must be Angulo, but in my heart, Li's performance is the most important! Although he only scored one goal, his presence transformed the entire Cannes!"

"It's hard for us to believe that the Cannes team in front of us has suffered a four-game losing streak. It was Li who changed everything!"
