"Zhang, do you go to any fun places to play during the holidays?"

"No, I'll stay at home with my parents."

"Wouldn't it? You're too bored, too. ”

"Is it boring? I think it's pretty good. ”

"I heard that you don't have a famous place in China called the Great Wall, and you didn't go to play for two days?"

"There is the Great Wall, but I've only heard of it, and I've never been there."

After Zhang Chaoqiang returned to Lyon, he soon began to prepare for the training camp.

On the way to the team's assembly, Tolisso kept showing off his itinerary, sometimes Marseille Monaco, and then Paris Bordeaux.

It seems that after more than a month of vacation, he ran all over France.

After arriving at the training base and greeting his old teammates, Zhang Chaoqiang met the team's new head coach, Hubert Fournier, another young coach.

In fact, in terms of age, Fournier is two years younger than his predecessor Garder.

When it comes to his resume, Fournier is also a DNA coach, as he also played for Lyon as a player.

However, after only two seasons, even if there is DNA, it is not pure enough.

On the first day of the team's training camp, there was basically nothing serious.

The whole team had a simple physical examination, and then the coaching staff called everyone over for a warm-up and got acquainted with each other by the way.

Zhang Chaoqiang also took this opportunity to find out the members of the coaching staff.

Head coach Hubert Fournier, head assistant coach Bruno Genesio, fitness coach Dimitri Farbo, goalkeeper coach Gilles Ruse, forward coach Gérald Batickele.

Among the members of the coaching staff, assistant coach Genesio and goalkeeper coach Rousse are both long-time Lyon employees who have been with the team for several years.

Forward coach Baticle is also the old man of the team, but he has only been promoted after coaching the reserve team.

Only the physical trainer Falbo is a close confidant of Fournier and has only been in Lyon for a few days.

The first round of the Ligue 1 season is scheduled for the second weekend of August, but Lyon will need to prepare for the Europa League qualifiers earlier.

So after the players returned to the team, Fournier took out the training camp that had been arranged and prepared for the new season step by step.

What Zhang Chaoqiang has to do is to make physical reserves with the team, and at the same time understand the new coach's tactical play, and find his position in the team as soon as possible.

After two days of intensive training for the whole team, Zhang Chaoqiang found that Fournier's tactical main framework was also 442.

Perhaps fearing that the players would not be able to adapt to the changes too much, Fournier largely copied the formation of his predecessor Gald.

But Fournier's 442 formation also has his own understanding, that is, it pays more attention to defense and strengthens the team's pressing.

And in this 442 formation, the heart of the forward line is, of course, Alexandre Lacazette, which is well known.

As for who is left in another position up front, Fournier has not yet made his intention clear.

Zhang Chaoqiang knows that he has a great chance, because Gomi and Brion have left the team, and he is already the only reliable striker left on Lyon's front line.

But no one can say anything about competing for the starter.

Many times I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what if.

Fournier had apparently taken advantage of the holidays to find out what was going on in the Lyon team, and on the first day of the training camp, he promoted Fekir from the reserves.

In addition, the youngster Cornet who was brought in from Ligue 2 is also on the team's training list.

If Zhang Chaoqiang's performance is not convincing enough, then the main position is really not sure who it is.

Under the scorching sun, the cicadas chirp slowly.

On the training ground in Lyon, the confrontation between the two sides was fierce.

Zhang Chaoqiang took the ball in the middle and broke through, using the speed advantage to connect the two and then divide the ball.

Alexandre Lacazette, who was inserted on the left, lifted his foot and pushed the ball into the bottom corner of the far post.

After the goal, Lacazette gave a thumbs up to Zhang Chaoqiang, who passed the ball, and Zhang Chaoqiang also nodded in response.

In recent team training, Zhang Chaoqiang has always been interested in teaming up with Alexette Lacazette.

Because in the upcoming new season, Alexandre Lacazette will be the heart of the team's attack.

Zhang Chaoqiang is very self-aware, knowing that his status in the team is not only inferior to the other party, but even his technical awareness is temporarily inferior to the opponent.

To put it simply, the two are not competitors.

Therefore, he can assist the other party with peace of mind, which is the best solution for Zhang Chaoqiang in the intra-team competition.

As long as he cultivates a tacit understanding with Lacazette, the main position is basically stable.

After the training session, the players left one after another.

Fournier came to the office with the coaching staff to continue to discuss the team's tactics.

'I think it's a good partnership between Zhang and Alexander, Alexander as a central striker and Zhang as a winger, as we beat PSG in the Carabao Cup final last season. Genesio was the first to speak his mind.

'And Naby, he's also a good player and can play on the wing.

Before Fournier could speak, the strength and conditioning coach Falbo disagreed.

Naby Fekir was specially promoted by Fournier from the reserves, and he does have good quality.

"Let Naby play in the midfield, he is a versatile player up front, a midfielder, a winger, a shadow striker." Baticle, who had been leading the reserve team before, gave his advice.

"Yes, if the three of them work together well, we have a good offensive trident." Goalkeeper coach Rousse immediately came out to play the round.

"If it really doesn't work well, it's not too late to split it up when the time comes."

After the big framework was established, there were many details to follow, and the coaching staff discussed it for a long time before the meeting ended.

Genesio and Ruse, two old men from the team, walked together, and after leaving the base, the conversation unconsciously returned to Fournier.

"This guy looks very easy to get along with and smiles at everyone, but it's actually more difficult than Remy." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Genesio's tone.

After Remy Gard got out of class, Lyon's old employees had a meeting.

Everyone agrees that having Lacazette and Zhang Chaoqiang pair up as two strikers in the new season will not only ensure the stability of the team, but also develop players.

But after Fournier took over the team, he ostensibly agreed with their suggestion, but quickly promoted Fekir to the important task.

This is somewhat of a demonstration of the manager's authority, which leads to dissatisfaction among Genesio and others.

The key is that Fournier is not very qualified, and it is difficult to convince the public.

Ahead of August, Lyon played two long-scheduled warm-up games at home.

First played La Liga Sevilla, both teams did not seem to have come out of the rhythm of the holiday, and there were few chances in the chaotic battle, and finally ended with a score of 0:0.

This was followed by a Portuguese Super League game against Sporting Lisbon, and this time Lyon finally found their form, performing well at both ends of the pitch and winning 2-0.

Zhang Chaoqiang started both warm-up games and also provided an assist in the second.

But the most important thing for him is stealing attributes.

In the warm-up match against Sevilla, Zhang Chaoqiang successfully stole 3 bounce points and increased his bounce attribute to 59 points.

It's a pity that he didn't finish stealing the day when he faced Sporting Lisbon, and he couldn't continue to steal.

Now he's just 3 Reflexes and 1 Bounce away from unlocking pro-level Skill and Awareness.
