Chapter 40: Request
After Lyon's home win over Lille, they not only jumped into the top three, but even jumped to second place.
Marseille at the top of the table continued to lead the game with a win in this round, but second-placed Bordeaux lost 0-1 away to Reims.
So with the help of Fournier's old club, Lyon chased the same points as Bordeaux and beat the opponent in second place by virtue of goal difference.
The current points situation in Ligue 1 is: Marseille 22 points, Lyon and Bordeaux 17 points, Lille and Nantes 15 points, Grand Paris 14 points.
In this round, Grand Paris hosted Monaco, taking an early lead but being held to a drawless draw by Anthony Martial in stoppage time.
Ligue 1 is only in the ninth round, and Grand Paris have already won five draws.
They probably want to brush up on the title of Draw Master.

After the ninth round of Ligue 1, it will be the national team match day in October, and Zhang Chaoqiang can rest again.
Previously, Perrin came to Lyon in person, and Zhang Chaoqiang and his agent Frero went to meet each other together.
After the exchange of views, no consensus has been reached for the time being.
Zhang Chaoqiang's request is simple, hoping to have enough freedom.
In addition to the very important games such as the Asian Cup and the World Cup, Zhang Chaoqiang hopes to make decisions according to his own situation.
Perrin nominally came to see Zhang Chaoqiang in a private capacity, but in fact he brought a secret mission from the Football Association.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Chaoqiang's request is far greater than the scale left by the Football Association to Peilan, so the two sides cannot negotiate for the time being.
If you can't talk about it, then talk slowly, Zhang Chaoqiang is not in a hurry.
Because he knows his current level very well.
To say that it sounds like another demon star in Ligue 1, to say that it sounds like an ordinary professional player.
Half of his current fame comes from the various talents brought to him by the simulator, especially [Walking Like a Fly] and [Mr. Key], and the other half comes from Leon's system support.
If Lacazette and Fekir are suddenly seriously injured, Zhang Chaoqiang alone will definitely not be able to lead Lyon's offensive system.
Even Lyon can't take it, and the national football team with a fart is still there.
However, Perrin likes Zhang Chaoqiang very much, probably because he used to coach Lyon.
Before leaving, he gave Zhang Chaoqiang advice and asked him to try more shots in the game.
Shoot when you get the chance, don't be afraid to kick away.
Perrin said that this was the advice he gave to Benzema at the beginning, and now it is also given to Zhang Chaoqiang.
Benzema was the Ligue 1 Golden Boot won by Perrin at the age of 20, the youngest Golden Boot in Ligue 1 history.

During the national team competition, Zhang Chaoqiang's transfer scandal continued.
In addition to the two scandal targets of Inter Milan and Grand Paris, Manchester United of the Premier League has also become Zhang Chaoqiang's "potential next home".
Manchester United was the team that invested the most in the transfer market this summer, spending 200 million yuan on crazy buying.
Di Maria, Falcao, Luke Shaw, Herrera, Blind, Rojo, one player after another were included in the Manchester United account, and Dutch coach Louis van Gaal was invited to lead the team.
But the result?
Lost to Swansea in the first round of the Premier League, drew with Sunderland in the second round and drew with Burnley in the third round.
It wasn't until the fourth round that they got their first win from promoted horse Queens Park Rangers.
Now that there are seven rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United are barely in fourth place, which looks very good.
But Falcao and Di Maria, two blockbuster reinforcements, have not been effective for a long time, and they seem to be unable to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League at all.
So the British media gave them support and continued to recruit them.
Anyway, my big Manchester United business operation is good, not bad money.
So Zhang Chaoqiang became the object of Manchester United's scandal.
After all, it is a Chinese player, and even if you can't play it if you buy it back, you can make a lot of money from commercial operations.
Zhang Chaoqiang has not responded positively to his transfer scandal, which has led many domestic fans to think that he really wants to transfer, and they have begun to choose his in-laws for him.
"Of course it's going to Manchester United, the golden signboard, and the fool won't go."
"Manchester United? Have you forgotten Dong Fangzhuo? ”
"Dong Fangzhuo is that he doesn't work hard, but Brother Qiangzi is super motivated."
"Brother Qiangzi has never played in the national team, so he shouldn't be able to get a labor certificate, right?"
"If Manchester United really want to buy Brother Qiangzi, it won't be a matter of minutes to apply for a special genius clause?"
"The special genius clause doesn't seem to be easy to apply for."
"If you want me to say that going to Inter is almost the same, the current Inter boss is Asian, and everyone helps each other."
"There's a hole in your brain, right? Going to work for an Indonesian fool? ”
"Where do you go to play football, not part-time jobs? It's like going to another team and being the boss directly. ”
"Inter Milan is actually not bad, it is currently in the trough, just entering the bottom, if it can really help the team revivenation, it will be a proper giant in the future."
"If revival had been so easy, someone else would have done it a long time ago."
"You guys just don't have a vision, Manchester United hasn't even played in Europe this season, Inter Milan is playing in the Europa League like Lyon, if you really want to transfer, you must go to Paris, and if you go, you will play in the knockout round of the Champions League."
"That's right, no matter how you say Paris, you can be considered a Champions League favorite, if you are lucky enough to win the championship, Brother Qiangzi will immediately reach the pinnacle of life."
"I believe that with Brother Qiangzi's ability, it should not be difficult to find a chance to score a goal, and then the first goal of the Europa League and Champions League will be all there."
"It's really unforesight to say that the stupid hat to go to Paris is really not far-sighted, and there are real giants like Manchester United and Inter Milan who don't go, and they actually suggest going to a local big team."
"Isn't that great? The giants are not accumulating little by little, and the big Paris is really not enough now, and it will soon accumulate when they win the Champions League. ”
"The Champions League is so easy to take? Manchester City has been a tyrant for so many years, why didn't he get it? ”
"I don't dare to say anything else, I know one thing, the local tyrant team can play the Champions League, but the real giants can't even play the Champions League......"

Fans enthusiastically analyzed Zhang Chaoqiang, hoping that he would go to the most suitable team.
But Zhang Chaoqiang was very leisurely and didn't think about the transfer at all.
"Dad, didn't I say it, I really didn't want to transfer during the winter break."
Zhang Chaoqiang didn't expect that even his father was affected by this incident and called to confirm.
It can be seen that there must be all kinds of news flying all over the country.
After the international break, the biggest news for Lyon is that no one is injured.
It is not impossible to say that no one was injured, because Benzia was injured in the match for Algeria.
But he was only a substitute striker for Lyon, and the injury had little impact.
Benzia represented France as a youth team, but as an adult he represented Algeria, which is allowed by FIFA, and the youth and senior teams represent different national teams.
October 19th, a sunny day.
At 4 p.m. local time in France, Lyon hosted Montpellier, the opponent of the 10th round of Ligue 1.
Montpellier have been an average mid-table side in Ligue 1 for most of their history, but they did a great job in 2011/12.
Beat Paris to win the Ligue 1 title.
In the first season of the Qatari consortium in Paris, Montpellier, a team with a low reputation, gave the local tycoons a blow to the head.
Without a doubt, it is a legend in the history of Ligue 1 that can be named a miracle.
The key is that it is still a civilian team, with no famous players other than Giroud, but they came back from halfway down to win the championship in Paris.
At that time, Grand Paris experienced a halfway change of coach.
The Qatari tycoons sacked Kombuare, who led the team to win the halfway race, because the big Parisians were only three points ahead of Montpellier, which was not enough to highlight their local tyrant temperament.
So they replaced the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, and then they were reversed.
