"Zhang Chaoqiang is worth more than 10 million, the first person in the history of Chinese football"

"Brother Qiangzi's worth has risen to 10 million, ranking fourth in Asia, second only to three stars in Japan and South Korea"

"Worth more than 10 million at the age of 19, the first person in the history of Asian football"

In the latest value data of the German transfer market, Zhang Chaoqiang's worth has just risen to 10 million euros.

This allowed him to break the record of 4.5 million set by Sun Jihai in 2006 and became the first person in the history of Chinese football.

Of course, if football inflation is counted, Sun Jihai is still the first.

But at least in terms of direct data, Zhang Chaoqiang has managed to surpass his opponent and greatly improve China's historical record.

As far as the entire Asian football scene is concerned, Zhang Chaoqiang is temporarily ranked fourth in Asia, behind only Shinji Kagawa, Son Heung-min and Keisuke Honda.

Shinji Kagawa is still 15 million, and Son Heung-min is still 14 million.

However, Keisuke Honda has performed well overall in recent months, and his value rose by 2 million when he was updated last month, and he is now on par with Son Heung-min.

At the same time, he was worth more than 10 million at the age of nineteen, which also set a record in Asian football.

Asian players tend to play at a high level in Asia before moving to Europe, so there are very few players who are very valuable at a young age.

Previously, the youngest holder of the value of 10 million in Asia was Sun Xingmin, who was worth more than 10 million for the first time at the age of 20.

Today, Zhang Chaoqiang has refreshed his age to nineteen.

Chinese fans were naturally overjoyed after knowing that Zhang Chaoqiang was worth more than 1,000, and then gave him a nickname-

Zhang Daqian!

is worth more than 10 million, which is just appropriate.

Recently, domestic fans have also paid attention to another news, that is, Zhang Xizhe is about to transfer to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.

In fact, there was news leaking out as early as the summer transfer, but it was not really implemented.

Now it's finalized.

Because Zhang Chaoqiang is playing well in Ligue 1, domestic fans naturally have great expectations for Zhang Xizhe, hoping that he can also make a name for himself in the Bundesliga.

You must know that the Bundesliga is a blessed land for Asian players, and many of the successful Asian players who have stayed abroad have succeeded there.

Zhang Xizhe plays in midfield, and his rival at Wolfsburg is Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Some domestic fans have begun to fantasize about how Zhang Xizhe can squeeze out De Bruyne and lead Wolfsburg to a big kill.

may be because Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Chaoqiang have the same surname, so fans feel that the surname Zhang is naturally easier to mix in European football.

On December 11, in the final round of the Europa League group stage, Lyon went to challenge Club Brugge away.

Since he had already locked the first place in the group, Fournier directly arranged a large rotation of players, and only a few main players such as Gonallons, Tolisso, and Bisevac played, and the rest were all substitutes.

The result was fair, with Lyon losing 1-2 away to Club Brugge.

But that doesn't affect the rankings.

Because Torino beat Copenhagen 5-1 away in the last round, Club Brugge was eliminated even if they won.

Lyon topped the group and Torino finished second, with the two top five league teams advancing together.

In other groups, Saint-Etienne, who managed to reach the final round, lost 0:1 away to Dnipro and finally failed to qualify.

Guingamp won at home to rivals Theokssaloniki and finished second in the group.

Four Ligue 1 teams competed in the Europa League group stage, with Lyon and Guingamp progressing and Saint-Etienne and Lille out.

On the side of the Champions League, Grand Paris was reversed by Barcelona 1:3 away in the final round, and MSN just had one goal per person.

This time, Grand Paris can only qualify as the second place in the group, which is a bit disadvantageous.

The Champions League is not like the Europa League, there is a big difference between the first and second places in the group.

On the contrary, Monaco held on to the top of the group after winning Zenit at home, and there were no surprises.

Monaco's stats in this season's Champions League group stage have been amazing, scoring just four goals in six games and conceding just one to top the group.

Conceding just one goal in six group games, equalling the all-time best and becoming the sixth team in Champions League history to concede just one goal in the group stage.

At the same time, only four goals were scored to advance to the knockout round, which also set a record in the Champions League.

The second-fewest goals scored in the group stage to qualify.

There was one team that was even more magical than Monaco, and that was Villarreal in 05/06, who scored three goals and conceded one in six group games to qualify.

And in that season, Villarreal also played all the way to the Champions League semifinals before being eliminated by Arsenal.

The Europa League group stage is over, and Zhang Chaoqiang has played a total of five games for Lyon, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists, which is the best stat in the team.

However, Alexandre Lacazette is not far behind, he has played three games, contributing two goals and one assist.

Soon after the group stage, the knockout draw took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Lyon were lucky enough to draw a team from the non-top five leagues – Aalborg.

It's a Danish team again.

Aalborg were the Danish league champions last season but were knocked out in the Champions League qualifying round to qualify for the Europa League group stage and finished second in the group.

With such a team, Lyon can spend a lot less energy.

However, Chinese fans did not like the draw after seeing it.

Because in the group stage, Zhang Chaoqiang scored against Torino and Club Brugge, but did not score against the Danish team Copenhagen.

Now they have another Danish team, and they are worried that Zhang Chaoqiang will be "clean sheet" again.

As another Ligue 1 team to reach the knockout stage of the Europa League, Guingamp drew Dynamo Kyiv, a Ukrainian powerhouse, and may not be easy to play.

In fact, with Guingamp's overall strength, reaching the knockout round is considered to be a complete task, and there is no need to think too much about it next, and one more game is one.

In the Champions League, Paris drew Chelsea again.

And Monaco worked hard to grab the first place in the group, and finally drew the Premier League Arsenal.

The Ligue 1 duo played against the London duo respectively, which is definitely not a good signing for Ligue 1.

On December 14, in the 18th round of Ligue 1, Lyon hosted promoted Macaen.

A home win over Caen would extend Lyon's unbeaten run in the league to 13, tying the third-longest unbeaten run in the club's history.

But the promotion horse is not a lucky word for Lyon, because in the previous two promotion horses, Lyon only got one draw and one loss.

Fortunately, this time, Lyon's overall state has been completely different.

"Super Zhang! Nice change of direction!! ”

"Break into the restricted area! Kick the door!! ”

“Goooooal————”

Only nine minutes into the game, Zhang Chaoqiang received a through ball from Tolisso in front of the penalty area, changed his shoulder to pass the Caen defender, and stepped into the penalty area to get his feet decisively!

The Gerland Stadium was filled with cheers, and the fans chanted in unison.

At the same time, the Chinese commentator read the congratulatory speech:

"Congratulations to Zhang Chaoqiang, this is his eighth goal in Ligue 1 this season, which equals Yang Chen's record for single-season goals scored by Chinese players in the top five leagues."

"Every time Zhang Chaoqiang scores a goal in Ligue 1, he will set a new record in Chinese football!"

"In addition, the record for the highest single-season goal scored by an Asian player in Ligue 1 is 12, which was set by South Korea's Park Joo-young in the 10/11 season, and Zhang Chaoqiang also has a good chance of breaking it."

"No, it's sure to break it!!"
