Thanks to the official Ligue 1 schedule, Lyon and Grand Paris will play two games in a row over two consecutive weekends.

Lyon got off to a good start by taking the lead at home.

But it was clear to everyone that the second leg was the real final.

Remy Gard may be a bit unreliable, but he also knows how important that final is.

After the rapid rise of Golden Yuan teams such as Grand Paris and Monaco, it has been difficult for Lyon to compete for the Ligue 1 title, even if Lyon has won seven consecutive titles in the history of Ligue 1.

So at this stage, Lyon's most likely title is the domestic cup.

The French League Cup is not an important championship, and the gold content is even inferior to the French Cup.

But it's a championship after all, and Gard would love to take it.

So after the weekend of the league, the whole Lyon team began to prepare in detail, and everything was dominated by the League Cup final at the weekend.

Under the scorching sun, the lawn of the Lyon training base is still lush and lush.

It's not luxurious, but it's peaceful and elegant.

When Lyon built the base, it was all about practicality, everything was prepared for the training of the players.

It is with this base that Lyon has gradually developed into a team based on youth training.

Since the completion of construction in the 90s, the Lyon base has successively produced Benzema, Ben Arfa, Gyuli, Govu, Canute and other stars.

And with the club's emphasis on youth training in recent years, the Lyon team has brought together a group of star seedlings such as Lacazette, Tolisso, Umtiti, Anthony López, and Fekir.

There is also Anthony Martial, who is currently doing well at Monaco, and he is also a standard Lyon academy product.

However, he was not willing to stay in Lyon as a substitute and switched to Monaco last summer.

In fact, Anthony Martial was only 17 years old last summer, and although he performed well in the youth team, he has never proven himself in the first team.

So Monaco managed to bring in Martial at a low price of only 5 million euros, which was considered a win-win deal by the French media at the time.

Both Lyon and Monaco are happy with the deal.

But now, as Anthony Martial has gone from better to better at Monaco and earned the nickname of the new Thierry Henry, everyone has begun to change their tune and think that Lyon have made a loss-making deal.

There are a total of 10 natural turf plots in the Lyon training ground, with the best three reserved for the first team and the remaining seven allocated to the academy teams.

At this time, on the training lawn of the first team, the fierce team training is in full swing.

Garde stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, pretending to be deep without saying a word.

However, assistant coach Genesio was very passionate and kept pointing to the players on the field.

"Milan, get your position right, if you can't even defend Zhang, how can you defend Cavani and Ravitch?"

'Colantin, you're a right-back in the team, not a right-midfielder, so you have to be careful to protect your back at all times and not leave too much space for the opposition.

For the upcoming Carabao Cup final, everyone knows that Paris Saint-Germain is stronger.

But it was a winner-or-lose final, and Lyon, as long as they managed it properly, could beat Paris to win the title.

Not only is it possible, but it may not be small.

Because Ibrahimovic, the star of Grand Paris, has already confirmed that he will not be able to participate in the final.

Paris was not only eliminated in the match with Chelsea, but also lost the big player Ibrahimovic.

It can be said that he lost his wife and his soldiers.

It is precisely because of this positive that Garde is full of expectations for the final.

After the training session, Zhang Chaoqiang took off the substitute vest on his body as a rag, wiped his forehead and neck, and returned to the locker room while wiping.

"Summer hasn't arrived yet, why is the temperature already so high?" His friend Tolisso did the same, but he used the main vest.

Garde seems to have decided that Tolisso has a talent for playing at full-back and has recently placed him at right-back.

If it weren't for the memory of rebirth, Zhang Chaoqiang would even be a little worried that his friend would be invalidated.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look into the distance.

Remy Gard had already arranged for the personnel to pack up the training equipment and start walking to the office area.

The coaching staff have been preparing aggressively in recent days and it looks like they're going back to discuss tactics again.

On April 19th, the final day officially arrived.

Zhang Chaoqiang got up from bed early in the morning, but found that he got up a little too early.

It was the first time in his career that he was in the final, and he was a little nervous, which led to waking up an hour earlier than usual.

So he picked up his phone and dialed home.

Zhang Chaoqiang's family conditions are average, not rich, but not poor.

The family's main source of income is a small store in an urban village, and the monthly income is considerable.

It is precisely for this reason that when he came to France to play, his father supported it, but his mother did not agree.

Playing football doesn't seem to have much future, so it's better to stay in China and get a university entrance exam and find a job honestly in the future.

When the age is almost old, the family will make a down payment, buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, isn't it more reliable than playing football?

In fact, this is the life trajectory of Zhang Chaoqiang's previous life.

However, in this life, due to the influence of football simulators, his life has taken a completely different path.

"Mom, what are you doing?" After the phone was connected, Zhang Chaoqiang asked first.

"Of course, look at the store, otherwise what can you do." The voice on the phone is still familiar, a little fierce, but very kind.

"Opened so early?" As soon as the words came out, Zhang Chaoqiang realized that he was wrong and actually forgot about the jet lag.

Sure enough, a scolding voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "What's early, the sun is about to set, it's still early?" ”

"Where's my dad? He's not in the store? "In the past, when I called home, every time my father would answer the phone and say a few words to Zhang Chaoqiang, this time there was no sound at all, so he asked curiously.

"He went back to sleep after eating at noon, saying that he wanted to rest well in advance and wait for the evening to watch your game......"

is also influenced by football simulators, and my father, who had nothing to do with football in his previous life, actually became a fan in this life.

not only supports Zhang Chaoqiang to play, but also pays attention to his situation at any time.

Some time ago, when Zhang Chaoqiang was hacked badly, the more my father looked at it, the more angry he became, so he decided to tear the black powder himself.

He deliberately registered an account online and went to match up with those black fans in person.

In the end, it was Zhang Chaoqiang who called home and finally said that he moved his old man to raise his noble hand and spare those black fans.

At that time, this incident also caused a lot of impact on the domestic Internet, and the father personally went down to protect his son's reputation, which was a very topical news in itself.

Of course, this incident also caused some black fans to become even more demonic, vowing to be black to the end against Zhang Chaoqiang.

After talking to his mother, Zhang Chaoqiang's heart calmed down a lot.

Have a good breakfast first, or just spin the ball and warm up by yourself when you have nothing to do.

Or play a game.

Soon noon came, Zhang Chaoqiang called his friend Tolisso, and the two went to the club together.

The Carabao Cup final was played in Paris, so Lyon had to start early.

After arriving at the club, Zhang Chaoqiang had another meal.

This is a nutritious meal arranged by the club, and the whole team eats together.

After the meal, the president of the team, Michel Olas, arrived in time, gave two morale-boosting words to the whole team, and then took everyone out of the house.

As soon as he came out of the club's gate, Zhang Chaoqiang was immediately surrounded by a uniform shout.

"Leon! Lyons!! ”

"Leon! Lyons!! ”

Outside the club's gate was a crowd of black fans, all of whom had come to see off the team.

Seeing that the whole team of Leon came out, the crowd automatically separated a passage without the help of the security guards.

Zhang Chaoqiang followed his teammates through the passage, and arms stretched out from time to time on both sides.

Pull his sleeve and pat him on the shoulder.

It's full of encouragement.

Although he has played three games for the team, this is the first time Zhang Chaoqiang has felt the hot emotions of the fans up close.

In just a few moments, the whole team of Lyon was in the bus.

As the car started slowly, the shouting outside became louder.

This time, Lyon's goal is to:

Send troops north to Paris!
