Lord of Greenery

Chapter 113 Unexpected
Cannes is now ranked 4th in the league standings. In the eyes of many people, Cannes has the possibility to re-compete for promotion.

But in fact, the possibility of Cannes competing for a place is very low.

First of all, the first two wins were against the relegation teams of Ligue [-].

Secondly, Cannes won both games 1:0, and both were narrow victories.

Finally, the biggest problem is that Li Ze will return to China to participate in the training camp...

"You don't let him play, so why don't you just let him stay in Cannes?" Cannes chairman Noel persuaded earnestly.

He also has no choice, Cannes and Li Ze have no status, and there is no way to let the Hua Guo Olympic team let go.

In desperation, Noel wanted Li Ze to cheat, but Li Ze refused.

He could only watch helplessly as Li Ze boarded the plane, taking away the possibility of Cannes being promoted to Ligue [-]...

Among the crowd, Angulo watched Li Ze leave.

In the 32nd round of the league, Cannes unexpectedly drew with Troyes 2:2 in an away game. This relegated team from Ligue [-] seems to have lost the chain at the critical moment of competing for promotion places.

Paul and Nicola scored a goal each, and Angulo sent an assist.

In the 33rd round of the league, Cannes unexpectedly defeated Angers 2:1 at home. Angers is now ranked 9th in the league. There is no possibility of promotion or relegation. The players seem to have no fighting spirit.

Angulo passed and shot and was elected the best player in the game.

After two league matches, the quarter-finals of the French Cup followed.

Luckily for Cannes, they are playing Dijon at home in the quarter-finals.

Dijon is just a French second team, and it's just a French second relegation team.

At home in Cannes, Angulo scored the only goal of the game, helping the team eliminate the opponent 1:0!
"At the most critical moment of leaving, Angulo stood up!"

"He took on the heavy responsibility of the core of the team and helped Cannes survive this most critical period!"

After entering the semi-finals of the French Cup, Li Ze finally flew back.

"Why are you so powerful all of a sudden?" After getting off the plane, everyone saw the Hua people who were ecstatic.

Even he himself believes that Cannes may be in crisis after he leaves.

Especially in the match against Troyes in the 32nd round, the opponent is the direct opponent of promotion, and Cannes is still playing away. Even if Li Ze is present, he is not confident that he can beat the opponent.

Who would have thought that at the critical moment when there was a shortage of major generals, and in the plight of the team's core leaving the team, the Cannes players would be able to fight their way out!
"Do you think we are dead?" Jacques hugged him excitedly, "We can upgrade, right!"

Li Ze nodded heavily.

In the two rounds of the league he left, Cannes scored 1 points with 1 win and 4 tie.

Now that 33 rounds have passed, Cannes has accumulated 54 points!
Now ranked third is Troyes who has accumulated 3 points!
An upgrade quota is really possible!
In the 34th round of the league, Cannes played against Niort at home, and the opponent was just a relegation team.

However, it is now the end of the league, and the fighting power of the relegation team is not at the same level as the beginning of the season.

In order to be able to successfully avoid relegation, the players will do their best and show unimaginable fighting spirit and performance!

In this away game against Cannes, the Niort team is full of fighting spirit!

Then they lost 0:3 to Cannes.

Feeling exactly the possibility of an upgrade, the entire Cannes team went crazy!
The same is true for Dusuye. He puts the team's attention on the cup, isn't it because the possibility of the team's promotion is relatively low?
If he could choose, he would still be happy to give up the possibility of winning the cup and compete for a promotion spot.

The whole team was united, allowing Cannes to show amazing strength in its own Coubertin Stadium.

In the past 40 minutes of the first half, Cannes has already led 3:0!
In the 15th minute, Li Ze opened the scoring for the team. In the 26th minute, Li Ze's world wave expanded the score. In the 37th minute, Traore, who came off the bench, sealed the victory for the team!

If it weren't for the Cannes players who took the initiative to slow down the pace in the second half, Niort would definitely lose more than three.

"Hua Guoli is too powerful. I'm sure that he has been rationally distributing his physical strength in the previous games." Niort coach Arabi was helpless, "He defeated us alone."

In this regard, media reporters are also full of sympathy for him.

"Li's personal ability is amazing. As long as he is not bad, he can lead the team to beat the relegation team in Ligue [-] steadily."

"The rhythm of the audience was at Li's feet, Nior did not put enough pressure on the Huaguo people."

"Being able to beat a weak team steadily is not a commendable thing in the eyes of fans, but this ability is actually very precious, especially in the league, because winning against a strong team is 3 points, and defeating a relegation team is also 3 points. The league is not a cup game, not a type of knockout match. In the league, there are bound to be many strong teams and many weak teams. In the league games, it is very precious to have a player in the team who can improve the team's lower limit of!"

On the other hand, while the Cannes fans were still cheering for the team's victory, something unexpected happened.

It was also the 34th round of the league. Troyes, who previously had the same points as Cannes, drew 2:2 with Dijon away.

Like Cannes' opponent Niort, Dijon is also at risk of relegation. This time, the Dijon players went all out and actually overturned Troyes at their home court!
The Cannes players were stunned, and Li Ze was also stunned.

He really didn't expect that this opponent who competed for the promotion quota would lose the chain so easily!

Previously, Cannes was 1 point less than Troyes. After this game, Cannes surpassed Troyes by 1 point.

Previously, Troyes ranked third in the league, and now Cannes overtakes, naturally standing in the third position in the league!

In other words, if this season's Ligue [-] competition ends with the current ranking, Cannes will get a place for promotion!
When the dream situation appeared in front of his eyes, what Li Ze felt immediately was unbelievable compared to the excitement.

why?
Why is it so easy?
Li Ze thought about it for a while.

In his impression, Cannes this season is simply full of disasters.

There are no signings, the starting players are reimbursed for the season, the core strength of the defense is weak, and the team decided to focus on the cup in the second half of the season...

There was a time when it was really, really tough and it seemed like you were losing games, losing streaks.

Sometimes, Li Ze's mentality exploded after losing, and he even asked Aristide for psychological counseling.

Among all kinds of disadvantages, Cannes's performance has surpassed step by step, and now it is ranked third in the league?

What is the principle?
In the end what happened?
For a moment, Li Ze felt that his worldview had collapsed.

After calming down for a while, Li Ze also discovered the problem——

Now, 34 rounds of the league have passed, and Cannes has only accumulated 57 points.

This scoring efficiency is very low, with an average of about 1.6 points per round.

Such scoring efficiency, can also compete for the third?
Soon, Li Ze figured it out——

Their state and level are relatively low, but it does not mean that other teams are high!
He just didn't feel it, but it doesn't mean he really can't do it!
Then the question comes-

Next, should the next French Cup match be given up?
