On November National Team Break, European countries are playing Euro 2016 qualifiers.

As the host, the French team naturally does not have to play in the qualifiers.

But in this European Championship qualifier, there was a magical game.

As the Greek team that once created Greek mythology, they actually lost 0:1 at home to the amateur team Faroe Islands in the qualifiers.

It's not a complete amateur either.

The Faroe Islands, a semi-autonomous pocket country with a population of less than 50,000, still have four professional players on the team.

The best of them all played as a substitute in Danish powerhouse Copenhagen.

That guy played for the Newcastle Academy in the Premier League when he was younger, so he is the most talented player in the history of the Faroe Islands.

Apart from him, the other three professional players all play in the Danish secondary league.

As for the rest of the Faroe Islands team, they are all amateur players who work and play part-time.

Among them are elementary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, police officers, carpenters, students, car salesmen, bank clerks, and even funeral home workers.

Although the Faroe Islands are small, they have their own amateur football league, and it is divided into three levels, with a well-established system of promotion and relegation.

In this way, a group of "rabble" actually defeated the former European Cup champion Greece 1-0 away, which is quite amazing.

Immediately after the game, the Greek Football Federation announced the dismissal of its national team head coach Ranieri.

The tinker really fell on his heels this time.

It's not just Greek fans who greet his loved ones like crazy, but even fans in other European countries think he's outrageous.

You must know that in the World Cup in Brazil half a year ago, the same group of players, the Greek team, under the leadership of Portugal's veteran coach Santos, beat Ivory Coast and Japan and entered the knockout round of the World Cup.

It was precisely because of leading Greece to the knockout round that Santos was invited back by the Portuguese Football Federation to lead the Portuguese national team.

So the Greek Football Association chose Ranieri, who had just left Monaco, as the head coach of the national team, and there was this one.

Lyon fans were a little glad when they heard the news.

After the sacking of Remy Garde last season, many Lyon fans said that Ranieri should be brought in to lead the team, because he did a good job at Monaco.

But for a variety of reasons, Olas ended up opting for the more suitable Fournier.

In fact, it is mainly due to price.

Ranieri is a European coach who has been in charge of Monaco for three seasons and has achieved excellent results.

Ask him to lead the team, and the salary is at least several times that of Fournier.

For Lyon, which operates on a small budget, it is possible to save money.

With that spare money, it is better to invest in youth training and cultivate a few more talented players, which is a really good deal.

Another piece of news that Lyon fans have been following during the national team break is the return of the ex.

Remy Garder, who left Lyon six months ago, has been offered a new job by Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Villa haven't been in good shape in recent years, relegation every year and this year is the same.

The Premier League has won just three of its opening 10 games, just one point clear of the relegation zone.

So they sacked Sherwood, who was the hero of last season's relegation, and invited Remy Gard to coach.

Garde played at Arsenal as a player and is a Premier League veteran.

And the three seasons he led to Lyon were not ideal, but they were not bad, at least they were all ranked in the top five of Ligue 1.

So Villa want to take a gamble on Garde to see if he can get the team out of the quagmire.

Zhang Chaoqiang actually has a bad sense of Remy Garde, but he got his debut under him anyway.

So after Remy Gard found a new job, he also posted a message on his social media to congratulate him.

A lot of players in the Lyon team have sent it, and it looks a bit unusual if he doesn't send it.

Zhang Chaoqiang currently uses only two social media, Weibo in China and Instagram in China.

Weibo is basically managed by his parents, because there are many fans who interact with the message, and he can't keep himself busy.

Instagram is coming by himself for the time being, after all, he has just played a roll call, and there are not many fans who follow him.

"Zhang, I heard that you and Corantin bought a car?"

"yes, it's easier to buy a car."

"That's right, I'm going to invite everyone to my house for a barbecue during the winter break, and you guys will drive together then."

"Winter break? I'll go if I have time. ”

"Do you have anything else to do during your winter break?"

"That's right, I may have to go back to China during the winter break......"

On the track at the base of the training ground, the whole Lyon team went for a warm-up jog.

The captain of the team, Gonalons, was running with Zhang Chaoqiang and sent out an invitation.

Gonarons plays in Lyon, but he has a villa in Paris, where his family lives.

So going to his house for dinner during the winter break naturally means going to Paris.

Zhang Chaoqiang may return to China because there is an Asian Cup during the winter break.

On this national team match day, people from the Football Association went to Zhang's house in person.

They probably wanted to do work for him through Zhang Chaoqiang's parents, but they obviously didn't go the right way.

Daddy Zhang said a few words that they didn't like to hear, and in the end the two sides broke up unhappily.

Before leaving, the other party said that if he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he would issue a compulsory conscription order to Zhang Chaoqiang.

Generally speaking, the players recruited by the national team have been communicated beforehand.

If you are directly recruited without any communication, it is considered a forced call-up.

The key is that this kind of recruitment is still in accordance with the rules.

FIFA has clear regulations that all players are obliged to play for their national team.

If a player refuses to play for the national team without a reasonable reason, the country's football association can file a complaint with FIFA, which may impose a certain level of global ban on the player.

At present, even if there is a conflict between the player and the Football Association, it is not big enough to sue FIFA, after all, everyone can't afford to lose this person, so this ban has not really been implemented.

But Zhang Chaoqiang was upset by this rule.

The other party made it clear that he was threatening himself, and of course he didn't want to admit it.

But if it really reaches the level of forced conscription, then the two sides will completely tear their faces.

The other party will not be happy, and he will be equally uncomfortable.

Zhang Chaoqiang's parents have called him about this matter, and his mother's words are all about "the people don't fight with the officials", and his father is completely stubborn to the end.

Let them issue a mandatory call-up order, and then don't go back, and then wait for them to go to FIFA to report and see who is more embarrassed when the time comes.

The parents disagreed and were said to have quarreled at home.

Zhang Chaoqiang's agent is also making ideas for this matter.

His opinion at that time was to let Zhang Chaoqiang go back.

If you really refuse to be recruited and turn each other's faces, the commercial value of that super power in China will be greatly reduced.

After the jogging warm-up, the Lyon team began to train normally.

Stretching joints, basic skills of passing and receiving balls, running without the ball, dribbling over the pole, cross running, offensive and defensive drills.

At the end of the normal training, the coaching staff arranged for the whole team to play some interesting football games.

Zhang Chaoqiang was slipped very badly in the lap grabbing game, because he always reacted half a beat slowly today, and he couldn't grab the ball.

"Haha, Zhang, you also had such a miserable day?" Tolisso, the kid, gloated, laughing not to mention how happy he was.

The training session was completely over, and the others left one after another, but Zhang Chaoqiang continued to stay.

"Zhang, you're not in very good shape, why don't you rest today?" Fitness coach Falbo reminded.

"No, maybe I'll be back after some practice." Zhang Chaoqiang waved his hand and refused.

So Falbo began to assist him in training, focusing on short-distance sprints, switchback runs and other targeted training to strengthen explosives.

This is a special training that Fournier asked the coaching staff to specially formulate for Zhang Chaoqiang to help him strengthen his explosiveness.

In addition to Zhang Chaoqiang, Lacazette also has targeted training.

However, he does not practice every day, but every other day.
