Coming off the bench to help the team equalize, Zhang Chaoqiang thought that his situation in the team would be greatly improved in the future.

Like a starter or something.

But as it turned out, it was simply impossible.

On April 3, in midweek, in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, Lyon hosted Juventus.

In fact, Lyon and Juventus are both teams participating in the Champions League this season, but they have both been brushed down to participate in the Europa League.

Lyon was brushed in the Champions League qualifiers, and Juventus was brushed in the Champions League group stage.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang entered the squad for the game, he did not get the opportunity to play.

With 80 minutes played, Remy Garde used up three substitutions as he tried to hold on for a home draw.

But the Bianconeri scored with Bonucci's corner kick in the 86th minute to beat Lyon 1:0.

On the weekend of April 6, in the 32nd round of Ligue 1, Lyon challenged the relegation team Valenciennes away.

Zhang Chaoqiang is still in the squad, but he still failed to start.

Thankfully, he got a chance to come off the bench this time.

Lyon took an early 2-0 lead with goals from Gomi and Brion in the first half, while Zhang Chaoqiang got more than ten minutes of playing time in the second half.

It's a pity that he didn't find any great opportunities.

Not only did he fail to find a chance, but Lyon also conceded a goal after he came on the pitch.

In fact, the loss of the ball was not about Zhang Chaoqiang at all, it was a gift from the mistake of the defense.

But the domestic sunspot didn't care, and forcibly put on the hat of "coming off the bench and causing Lyon to concede the goal".

However, Zhang Chaoqiang was not without success in the game, and after picking carefully on the field, he stole two strong attributes from Ghanaian striker Waris.

The 5-point burst he stole last time has been fully absorbed, so he can steal attributes again.

At present, Zhang Chaoqiang has a total of four attributes below 60 points, which are 56 strength, 54 burst, 53 reaction, and 56 bounce.

As long as he increased these four attributes to sixty, he would be able to unlock professional-level skills and awareness.

Through these two games, Zhang Chaoqiang has figured out his self-positioning, and he can only be a substitute under Garder.

So stop fantasizing about anything else.

Honestly play as a substitute, and by the way, find an opportunity to fill up those four attributes to sixty, and then unlock professional-level skills and awareness, and then he can be truly competitive.

After the weekend of league games, it was soon midweek and European fixtures arrived.

April 10, the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Zhang Chaoqiang came to Turin with the team to challenge the famous Serie A team Juventus.

Speaking of Juventus this season, they were a bit embarrassed in the Champions League group stage, and were knocked out by Turkey's Galatasaray.

The most important thing is that they have a poor performance in the Champions League, but they are far ahead of Serie A.

It's a bit of a nest.

So Juventus also wants to prove itself, anyway, the Champions League is out, just take advantage of the situation to win the Europa League, maybe they can take this opportunity to change their luck, and there will be Champions League luck in the future.

In addition, this season's Europa League final is scheduled to be held at Juventus' home stadium.

So after the upset in the Champions League group stage, Juventus shouted the slogan of vowing to win the Europa League.

Hopefully I can win the championship at home so that the fans can be happy.

In the pre-game locker room, Tolisso was a little nervous: "Haha, it's finally my turn today." ”

"Zhang, just sit on the bench and watch me perform."

"It's just a full-back, what's there to be happy about." Zhang Chaoqiang was blunt, and he clicked on the other party's soft meat.

Sure enough, Tolisso didn't bother anymore.

Although he started this game, he was a guest at right-back.

Soon the game officially began, and Juventus showed great momentum amid the roar of the home fans.

Just four minutes into the game, Tevez was tripped up front of the ball and Juventus won a well-placed free-kick in front of the box.

Andrea Pirlo took it upon himself to score the Lyon goal with his trademark leaf-falling goal.

In the 28th minute, Marchisio took the ball in front of the penalty area and shot from a distance, and the ball hit Tolisso and refracted into the net.

This kid made his debut full of interest, but he didn't expect it to become someone else's goal background.

"With less than 30 minutes to play, Juventus are already 2-0 up, so it doesn't look like there will be much suspense in this game."

"Next, it depends on whether Zhang Chaoqiang can get the opportunity to play and usher in his personal European debut."

On the domestic side, most fans are concerned about whether Zhang Chaoqiang can play.

Just made the first goal of the Chinese player in Ligue 1, Zhang Chaoqiang's popularity has returned.

In recent days, there has been a "strong blow" in China, which is specially infested among major football websites.

After all, Zhang Chaoqiang is the only Chinese face in the five major leagues, and a little performance can attract countless fans.

Of course, black powder is also indispensable.

Even if players like Ronaldo and Messi have a lot of black fans, Zhang Chaoqiang is naturally no exception.

If you want to be serious, Zhang Chaoqiang's current situation is even worse than the situation of Wu Sanshi in the previous life in the Spaniards.

Wu Sanshi in his previous life could be hacked by domestic fans in all kinds, and Zhang Chaoqiang in this life also didn't want to hide.

The black fans of the devil stared at him all the time.

Just wait for him to make a slight difference, and immediately make up a joke.

※※※

Zhang Chaoqiang sat on the bench for 45 minutes, and finally the first half ended 2-0.

After the break, Lyon still didn't improve.

"Zhang, hurry up and warm up."

The assistant coach made Zhang Chaoqiang see the hope of playing in an ordinary sentence, and ran to warm up.

When he was busy warming up, Zhang Chaoqiang also took the opportunity to despise his head coach.

Juventus are indeed strong, but Lyon will not be left defenseless.

At present, this Lyon team has a lot of potential new stars, Lacazette in the front, Tolisso in the midfield, and Umtiti in the backline, all three of them are future star players, and they have shown strong combat effectiveness at this stage.

To be honest, the above three people are enough to form a very good central axis.

Plus there are strong players such as Gomi, Malblanco, Gonarlons, Anthony López, as well as Zhang Chaoqiang on the bench and Fekir in the reserves.

As long as these players are kneaded together, Lyon does not have the strength of Ligue 1 to beat Paris.

But under the leadership of Remy Garde, Lyon couldn't even squeeze into the top three in Ligue 1.

In fact, some clues can be seen from Galder's employment.

As a fast-rising superstar in Lyon, Lacazette's tactical position is actually inferior to Gomi's.

Because in Garder's 442 main tactics, Gomi, who does not have a high goal efficiency, is the absolute core, and Lacazette can only accompany him.

But even so, Lacazette has developed into the team's top scorer this season.

In addition, potential midfielder Tolisso is often deployed at right-back, and potential centre-back Umtiti actually plays at left-back.

From the point of view of a reborn, Garder's employment is simply terrible.

I have to say that DNA coaches are harmful.

So it's not surprising that Lyon was educated by an old lady in the Europa League.

After Zhang Chaoqiang warmed up on the sidelines for more than ten minutes, he was brought to Gard by the assistant coach.

"Zhang, you play as a right winger when you come on the pitch, first help Tolisso keep an eye on Asamoah, and then use your speed to burst behind him."

'Remember, the Ghanaian has a yellow card on him and if you can get him down, we still have a chance in this game.'

Garder's tactical arrangement was decent, but the last sentence was automatically ignored by Zhang Chaoqiang.

At the moment, Lyon still want to reverse the situation, and it will have to score three goals in a row.

You must know that tonight is against the old women, and they will not be able to give Lyon a chance to score three goals in a row.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang still nodded seriously, at least the surface work should be done enough.

"Lyon applied for a substitution, and Zhang Chaoqiang was standing on the sidelines preparing to come on the court."

"This is a historic moment, Zhang Chaoqiang played in Europe for the first time in his career, and it was also the first time that a Chinese player played in the knockout rounds of the Europa League......

Before he knew it, Zhang Chaoqiang had completed another record.
