Chapter 1001: Lian Zhan Lian Victory
After the UEFA Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain was disbanded on the spot, and the players went their separate ways to play for the national team.
Two weeks later, in the fifth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Toulouse.
Due to the first round of the Champions League group stage in midweek, Gao Han stayed on for this game and did not play his main force, but still defeated Toulouse 2-0 at home with two goals from Pastore and Drogba.
Three days later, at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain welcomed the opponent of the first round of the Champions League group stage, Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, which was also a ruthless team.
But as soon as the game began, Paris Saint-Germain used skillful ball control to firmly control the situation on the field.
In the 19th minute, Suarez opened the scoring for the home team.
Just eight minutes later, left winger Neymar received an assist from Marcelo to find the home side in the box.
In the 30th minute, PSG had a corner kick and David Luiz headed home to make it 3-0.
After the rematch in the second half, Yaya Toure scored a goal in the 53rd minute to extend the score to 4-0.
After the big win, Paris Saint-Germain began to make substitutions, and Gao Han made three substitutions in a row in a short period of time, including Rabiot, Mamadou Sako and Lucas Moura.
Dynamo Kyiv scored in the 87th minute by Portuguese midfielder Joshua Veloso.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain beat Dynamo Kyiv 4-1 at home.
In the other match of the round at the same time, Porto beat Dinamo Zagreb 0-2 away.
After playing the Champions League group stage in midweek, they travel to Bastia at the weekend.
This is the sixth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's brace, Neymar and Matuidi's goals, 4-0 away to beat Bastia, to win six in a row.
But coincidentally, Marseille has also performed quite eye-catching this season, also winning six in a row, closely following Paris Saint-Germain.
Seven days later, the seventh round of Ligue 1.
Gao Han once again saved his strength for the Champions League group stage, beating Sochaux 2-0 at home to continue to lead the Ligue 1 standings, while Marseille also won away from home and chased closely, which made this upcoming league matchup in the eighth round of the league particularly eye-catching.
In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Porto away.
The Portuguese Super League team is really worthy of being an old black shop, with excellent negotiation skills and the ability to recruit people.
After selling Brazilian center forward Hulk for a high price, Porto did not know where to bring in a Colombian high school striker Jackson Martinez, who is also quite intimidating in the forward line and has a very obvious tactical effect.
Although it was sitting at home, Porto was still stubborn in the face of Paris Saint-Germain, but in the end, in the 74th minute, Paris Saint-Germain broke the goal, and the scorer was Di Maria.
The Argentine midfielder scored a stunning goal that came from a break down the middle with Neymar and Suarez, and the whole process was dazzling and impressive.
Although he won the game and ushered in two consecutive wins in the group stage, Gao Han was not at all satisfied with the away game against Porto.
In the dressing room after the game, he criticized the players without naming them, saying that they lacked the determination to win the game, but also said that he did not rule out making changes to the team's starting lineup.
Perhaps it was the anger from the high cold, or the deep reflection of the players, three days later, in the eighth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Marseille away to the top of the table, and Paris Saint-Germain pressed Marseille to play in the half from the beginning.
Just three minutes into the game, Neymar found Aubameyang with precision with a diagonal cross.
The Gabon international slotted into the box from the right flank and was tripped by Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda, and the referee unceremoniously punished him with a yellow card and a penalty, and Aubameyang himself converted it to make it 1-0.
Marseille then organised a tight defence, but PSG were firmly in control of the situation.
It wasn't until the 34th minute that another goal from Aubameyang helped PSG further extend the score.
Marseille fought back after the rematch in the second half, but in the 48th minute, Yaya Toure added another goal for PSG, and in the 72nd minute, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received a long pass from Andrea Pirlo over the top to score his third goal of the game.
It was also Aubameyang's first hat-trick since joining Paris Saint-Germain.
The game was completely into the rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain, and Marseille could not do anything about it, and it was not until the 87th minute that substitute striker Remy took advantage of the distraction of the Paris Saint-Germain defenders and scored a face-saving goal.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Marseille 4-1 away and won the battle for the top spot with an absolute advantage.
At the end of this round, Paris Saint-Germain continued to lead the Ligue 1 standings, and the entire French football world was in mourning.
Even Marseille can't stop the alpine team, so it can be seen that this season's Ligue 1 title will continue to be a ban on Paris Saint-Germain.
After the eighth round, European football came to a halt again and ushered in the national team break.

While Gao Han led Paris Saint-Germain to be invincible in Ligue 1, Chinatown's performance in La Liga and the Champions League was also shocking.
Two weeks of international matches led to a league shutdown that disrupted Chinatown's form.
In the fourth round of La Liga, sixth-placed Chinatown welcomed Zaragoza, on the one hand, distracted by the Champions League group stage in midweek, and on the other hand, Zaragoza showed great tenacity, so that Chinatown could not score for a long time.
After an hour of stalemate, it was only when Zaragoza's fitness began to take a toll that Chinatown opened the scoring with Miranda's header.
Then it was Roberto Firmino who started the game and scored a goal to make it 2-0.
But it was the Champions League group stage opening match in midweek that really made Chinatown famous in European football.
Zenit St. Petersburg spent a lot of money on reinforcements this summer, and the addition of Witsel and Hulk greatly improved Zenit's overall strength, but Chinatown played an overwhelming attack at the beginning of the first round of the Champions League between the two sides.
Just three minutes into the opening period, Isco opened the scoring for Chinatown.
In the thirteenth minute, Hazard scored another goal to extend the score to 2-0.
The opening two goals in a row, coupled with Chinatown firmly locked in possession, made it a bit difficult for Zenit St. Petersburg to parry.
The two sides were deadlocked until the second half, and in the 76th minute, it was another goal from Isco to further seal the victory.
3-0, Chinatown defeated visiting Zenit St. Petersburg with Isco's brace and won the first win of the Champions League in the new season.
Spanish teenager Isco also made everyone remember his name with this brace.
However, unfortunately, after returning to La Liga, Chinatown challenged Levante away, and when Pelle scored the first goal, Levante scored two goals in a row, and finally lost 1-2 and reaped the second defeat of the season.
But a week later, in the sixth round of La Liga, Chinatown regrouped and welcomed Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao at home.
The master-apprentice duel between Pochettino and Bielsa once again attracted the attention of fans around the world, and this game was also a clean 2-0 to beat Athletic Bilbao, with Antoine Griezmann and Eden Hazard scoring successively.
Speaking after the game, Bielsa praised the players of Chinatown, especially Eden Hazard, saying that the Frenchman has the potential to become a superstar and has a promising future, while he also praised Rakitic in midfield, saying that the Croatian was a key factor in Chinatown's victory.
After beating Athletic Bilbao, Chinatown soon traveled to Milan, Italy, to challenge AC Milan away.
Allegri was on the lookout at home and Chinatown was also on the verge of winning as the two teams played closely in the first half.
As the two sides were about to get into a bitter battle, Rakitic fired a long-range shot in stoppage time just before the end of the first half, which penetrated the AC Milan goal and pushed the Italian giants into a desperate situation.
After the rematch in the second half, AC Milan began to counterattack, and China City responded with a steady counterattack, and in the 56th and 64th minutes, Eden Hazard and Rakitic scored two goals through counterattacks, and finally beat AC Milan 3-0.
Massimiliano Allegri's side suffered a fatal defeat at home, leaving the whole of Italian football in mourning, while Chinatown completely shocked the whole of European football.
With two consecutive rounds tied at 3-0, Isco and Rakitic scored twice, leaving everyone shocked by Chinatown's strength and talent pool.
After all, this summer, the La Liga powerhouse has just sent off four key players, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ander Herrera.
These two wins also put Chinatown at the top of the group, ahead of the Gunners Arsenal with one win and one draw.
However, after 90 minutes of hard fighting against AC Milan, they returned to La Liga and challenged Real Sociedad away in the seventh round, only to be defeated 0-2 away from home, and Chinatown performed relatively average throughout the game.
After seven rounds, China City has a record of four wins and three losses without a draw, and has 12 points, ranking fourth in La Liga.
Ahead of Chinatown are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, both with 19 points and six wins and one draw, and Malaga with four wins, two draws and one loss.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid had a poor start to the season, with three wins, two draws and two losses in seven rounds, scoring eleven points and ranking sixth in La Liga, which also caused Mourinho to suffer another crisis of confidence.
As the team performs better and better, the number of international players in the team is also increasing, and the influence of the national team is also increasing.
The impact of the two-week national team match on Chinatown is also very obvious.
In the eighth round of La Liga, Chinatown hosted Simeone's Atletico Madrid, and after 90 minutes of hard fighting, the result was Torres's goal in the last minute of stoppage time to help Atletico Madrid beat Chinatown 1-0.
Coincidentally, Barcelona also narrowly defeated Deportivo La Coruna 5-4 in this round, and joined hands with Atletico Madrid to continue to lead the La Liga standings.
Chinatown's ranking also plummeted, falling directly to eighth place in La Liga.
However, in the Champions League group stage three days later, Pochettino welcomed Arsenal at home, and as a result, Chinatown defeated Arsenal 1-0 with a goal from De Bruyne, who came on as a substitute in the second half, and won consecutive games to lead the group with three consecutive wins.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain also travelled to Croatia to take on Dinamo Zagreb away.
The game was evenly matched, with goals from Didier Drogba and Neymar helping Paris Saint-Germain win in the first half, and 68% possession allowed PSG to be in complete control.
But Dinamo Zagreb's players surprised Gao Han with their performance in the second half.
