Marseille remain top of the table after losing away to Lyon, but the margin has been forced to be within a match.

Marseille currently have 25 points and Lyon 23.

The two-point difference was ambiguous, which made Lyon fans think about it.

However, Fournier insisted in his post-match interview that Lyon's goal was only to finish in the top three, with Marseille and Grand Paris being the real title contenders.

"Paris's overall strength is the best in Ligue 1, and Marseille's squad is more mature and has a famous coach in charge, so both teams are stronger than Lyon." That's how Fournier explained.

In this round, Ligue 1 Paris defeated Bordeaux 3-0 at home and officially returned to the top three with 20 points.

Indeed, as long as they regain their form, Grand Paris will soon become a serious contender for the Ligue 1 title.

"Colantan, are you unhappy because you didn't make it to the Golden Boy Award?"

During the team's meal time, Zhang Chaoqiang deliberately ate very slowly.

When everyone else was gone, he took the opportunity to chat with his friends.

Lyon won the weekend's race, but they did win a fluke.

On the one hand, the two guns of the forward line were frozen, and on the other hand, Tolisso played absent-mindedly, causing the Lyon midfield to lose control.

This was the main reason why Fournier was decisive to replace Tolisso at that time.

As a friend in the team, Zhang Chaoqiang naturally pays attention to the other party's situation.

After the game, he thought about it carefully, and the other party was probably in poor shape because of the Golden Boy award list.

Tolisso is a player of '94 and this year is the deadline for him to be selected for the Golden Boy award, and next year he will be 21 years old.

And he's really played well this season, and he's improved so fast.

Previously, the Lyon media also said that Tolisso, like Zhang Chaoqiang, is worthy of being a candidate for the Golden Boy Award.

So this kid thought that he should have a place for the Golden Boy Award candidate, but in the end he unexpectedly failed.

So I had a little emotion in my heart.

"How is that possible? It's just a candidate for the Golden Boy Award, so I won't be affected by that kind of thing. ”

This kid is quite arrogant, and he doesn't admit it with a stiff neck.

"It's better not, you see how well you played in the last game, like shit, and you won't be able to keep your main position if you continue like this." Zhang Chaoqiang threw the spoon away, got up and said.

"The last game was an accident and I didn't sleep well the night before the fight, so I wasn't in shape." Tolisso got up and followed.

The night before the game?

Wasn't that the night the Golden Boy Award candidates were announced?

Zhang Chaoqiang smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

"If you say yes, then yes, of course I believe you, but you'd better let the coach believe ......"

The two walked to the door of the restaurant together and pushed the door out.

Outside the house, the sun was blazing again!

Some things just need to be said, and you don't have to make them clear.

After chatting with Zhang Chaoqiang, Tolisso's state has improved significantly.

Midweek is the third round of the French League Cup, with Ligue 1 teams officially playing.

However, Lyon, as a European team, can skip the third round and go straight to the last 16 of the League Cup.

This is a small benefit given by Ligue 1 officials to European teams.

Only Marseille and Bordeaux are the Ligue 1 giants who don't play in Europe, so they need to play.

Bordeaux comfortably beat Toulouse to advance, but Marseille at the top of the table sent a substitute to the away team and were eventually eliminated by Rennes.

Soon the weekend matchday arrives and another round of Ligue 1 begins.

On November 1, in the 12th round of Ligue 1, Lyon challenged Nice away.

Nice have struggled to relegate in four of the last five seasons.

Last season, they were in the penultimate round of the league before they were relegated.

However, Nice's results have rebounded this season, and they have been in the middle of the table and do not seem to need to be relegated.

Tolisso played poorly in the last game, but after a week of hard work, Fournier did not deprive him of his main position and still chose to believe in him.

So Tolisso seized the opportunity very well and helped Lyon win 3-1 away with a pass and a shot.

Zhang Chaoqiang also received an assist in the game.

He also stole three reactions from Nice striker Alsene Puglia.

Puglia actually came from the Lyon academy, but they never played in Lyon.

He was also loaned to Ligue 2 Auxerre last season and has been underwhelming.

So he was sold to Nice during the summer transfer period, which was considered a scrapping of the academy and cheap treatment.

In terms of attributes, Puglia's reaction is more than 80, which is very good, and can be used as a point-grabbing striker.

But his running level has been very poor, and his shooting skills are mediocre, resulting in the talent not being realized.

Now Nice doesn't have a good striker, he plays as a main player as soon as he comes, and he will have a chance to train in the future.

In fact, Nice's goal in this game was spelled out by him.

He obviously wanted to prove himself in front of his old club, but there was a gap in the strength of the two teams.

He can put together a goal, but he can't change the game.

In the 12th round of Ligue 1, the top three in the league all won, so the top three positions and points difference in the standings have not changed, but they have added three points each.

"Zhang, in the next game, you can try more to go to the middle and try to attack the opponent's goal."

"We don't have a point requirement, you just have to play as hard as you can......"

After returning to the club, Lyon began to actively prepare for the tournament again.

But it's not the next game that is ready for the next game, it's the next one.

The next game is the Europa League group stage, and Fournier is obviously playing casually again.

His mind was already on the next league game.

In the next round of Ligue 1, Lyon will not have a strong opponent, but there will be a French national derby, with Grand Paris and Marseille going head-to-head in the same round.

Grand Paris is currently on a rebound and Ibrahimovic has confirmed his return in the national derby.

If Paris succeeds in beating Marseille at home, a win for Na Ao will go straight to the top of the table.

Fournier is obviously honest and honest, and he says that he has no intention of competing for the championship, but he is more anxious than anyone else when he really sees the opportunity to reach the top.

So in the next Europa League, Lacazette and Fekir were all rested, and Zhang Chaoqiang was allowed to lead the team to play Torino.

"Don't worry, coach, I'll do well......"

Zhang Chaoqiang is about to lead the team for the first time, no matter whether he can succeed or not, but he must not be cowardly.

And the reason why Fournier picked him as the lone core is because Lyon is likely to need to solve the game with a counter-attack.

Zhang Chaoqiang is the fastest, who will come if he doesn't let him come?

After knowing the team's tactics for the next game, Tolisso took the initiative to come up and express his support: "Don't worry, Zhang, I will definitely help you send a few good passes in the next game, so that you can score a few more." ”

"You kid, just don't drop the chain......"

In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, Zhang Chaoqiang has attributes in the account.

[You strengthen your body through personal training, flexibility +1]

In addition to speed and injury resistance, Zhang Chaoqiang's other six attributes have all been improved through training.

Soon the midweek matchday arrives and the Torino team has arrived in Lyon.
