On the first day of the Lunar New Year, not many fans will stay up late to watch the Europa League.

But early the next morning, most fans knew the news that Zhang Chaoqiang was wearing a hat.

"Congratulations to Brother Qiangzi, who wore a hat for the first time in his European career."

"It's still a hat-trick at the age of 19, the second youngest in Europa League history."

"I think Brother Qiangzi's hat trick is not only a New Year's gift for fans, but also a 20th birthday gift prepared for myself in advance."

"In half a month, Brother Qiangzi will be twenty years old."

"I wish Brother Qiangzi a happy twentieth birthday in advance, every year has today, and every year has today."

"I have the impression that Brother Qiangzi has been in Europe for several years, but he is not yet twenty years old?"

"Nonsense, people go to Lyon youth training at the age of fifteen, and they become famous at a young age."

"Last night's game was so cool, Brother Qiangzi took the ball, and a bunch of Danes behind him were crazy about eating ashes."

"Haha, how can we Chinese fast horses be in vain?"

"That's a fast horse? That's just a red rabbit horse, okay. ”

"Brother Qiangzi is a red rabbit horse, so who is Diao Chan?"

"Have you ever read a book? Is Diao Chan related to Red Rabbit Horse? ”

"It all seems to be related to someone......"

"If you want me to say, Brother Qiangzi's hat trick is against Biao Sun Xingmin, focusing on the face of Korean black fans."

"Koreans have been arrogant lately, and now they have nothing to say, right?"

"Please don't underestimate the thickness of their cheeks."

"Maybe they'll say that the Chinese New Year is their Korean holiday, and then threaten to take Brother Qiangzi to court."

"Don't say it, I want to vomit ......"

In the German transfer market update in early February, Son Heungmin's value rose to 16 million euros, surpassing Shinji Kagawa and becoming the No. 1 star in Asia.

Then in the Bundesliga a weekend a few days ago, Son Heung-min proved that he was worth nothing with a hat-trick.

Although Bayer Leverkusen lost 4-5 in that game, the South Korean fans were still very excited.

This is the second time in Son's career that he has scored a hat-trick in the Bundesliga.

The opponent in the crucial game was very special, Wolfsburg.

Zhang Xizhe joined Wolfsburg during the winter break, and many Chinese fans are looking forward to this transfer.

But soon everyone found out that Zhang Xizhe couldn't gain a foothold in Wolf Castle at all, and he couldn't get into the squad for a long time.

So everyone turned to continue to pay attention to Zhang Chaoqiang.

But the South Koreans were very happy to see this situation, and ridiculed that Chinese players only deserve to play in the sixth league of the French league, and they will be exposed as soon as they arrive in the Bundesliga.

Then Son Xingmin's value rose to the first place in Asia, and then he wore a hat in the Bundesliga, and the opponent who wore the hat was Wolfsburg, where Zhang Xizhe played.

At this time, the Korean football network is boiling, full of all kinds of victory theories.

Since the last incident, online exchanges between China and South Korea have been boosted to a certain extent.

Some Chinese self-media have been translating South Koreans' online remarks belittling Zhang Chaoqiang for a long time to return to China in order to earn traffic.

Similarly, there are people in South Korea who are doing something similar.

However, they translated the remarks touted by domestic fans to praise Zhang Chaoqiang, and moved them back for Korean fans to criticize.

So recently, Son Heung-min has shown his face one after another, which has led to arrogance in South Korea, and domestic fans are very unhappy.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang is wearing a hat in the Europa League, and finally helped them get back a city.

"Zhang, do you want to take the initiative to apply to the coach for the next Europa League starter?"

After returning to Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang only noticed after Jordan Ferry's reminder that he seemed to have a chance to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot this season.

Counting the hat-trick he just completed, Zhang Chaoqiang has already scored nine goals in this season's Europa League.

Three goals in the qualifying round and six goals in the main match.

The European Golden Boot only counts goals in the main match, so Zhang Chaoqiang's goals in the Europa League scorer list are six.

That's quite a lot.

At the top of the table is Red Bull Salzburg's Brazilian striker Alain, who has scored eight goals, all in the group stage.

The key Red Bull Salzburg lost 1-3 away to Villarreal in the first leg of the round of 32 and looked unfavourable and could be eliminated.

Once Red Bull was eliminated and Alan failed to continue scoring, Zhang Chaoqiang did have a chance to catch up with the opponent.

The European Golden Boot can be tied, as long as you catch up, you can tie for the Golden Boot.

"Forget it, let's follow the coach's arrangement." Zhang Chaoqiang replied to Ferry.

With enough advantage in the first leg, Fournier has decided to send a substitute in the second leg of the round of 32 to save the league momentum.

It's not that Zhang Chaoqiang doesn't want to compete for the Golden Boot, but the situation is uncertain now.

Even if Allan is really eliminated, and the number of goals is locked at eight.

There are other competitors on the scorer list.

Everton's Romelu Lukaku, Tottenham's Kane, and Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain, they all scored about the same number of goals as Zhang Chaoqiang.

So to compete for the Golden Boot, the key is to go as far as possible.

It's hard to play a decisive role if you don't play a game.

And to lose the Ligue 1 title in order to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot, it is not cost-effective.

On February 22, in the 26th round of Ligue 1, Lyon hosted Nantes.

Lyon have met Nantes twice this season, but neither has been a good result.

In the first leg of the league, Lyon drew 1-1 away.

In the round of 64 of the French Cup, Lyon was eliminated by the opponent in a penalty shootout.

So before the game, Nantes was very confident and shouted the slogan to end Lyon's unbeaten record.

But their slogans are loud, but their real performance is far less powerful than their mouths.

Fekir made a point, and Zhang Chaoqiang hit the spot.

Lyon's narrow 1-0 win at home to Nantes took the longest unbeaten run in league history to 22.

It looked like a small scoreline, but Lyon didn't threaten at all.

Nantes were passive throughout the game, having just five shots on goal and not a single one of them hit the woodwork.

In other words, it's okay for Lyon to have no goalkeeper in front of goal.

While Lyon won Nantes' record-breaking, Lacazette had already begun training under the arrangement of the coaching staff.

This is good news for the team.

Paris also took the three points comfortably, but Marseille dropped another point as they drew 2-2 at Saint-Etienne.

So in the Ligue 1 standings after 26 rounds of league games, Lyon continues to lead with 60 points, Grand Paris ranks second with 53 points, and Marseille ranks third with 50 points.

Marseille are arguably out of contention for the title, and all they have to do now is to secure a top-three finish and qualify for next season's Champions League.

Monaco and Bordeaux coveted his third place.

As for the top two, they have long belonged to Lyon and Grand Paris.

On February 26, in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32, Lyon hosted Aalborg.

Fournier arranged for the substitutes to play as originally planned, but at the same time put Zhang Chaoqiang on the bench and waited.

If the game situation is unfavorable, Zhang Chaoqiang can be used to save the game at any time.

However, the substitutes worked hard and did the manager's pre-match arrangement perfectly.

Focus on defense and try not to concede goals.

Lyon drew 0-0 at home to Aalborg and eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 3-1 to advance.

In other matches played at the same time, Red Bull Salzburg were eliminated by the Yellow Submarine, and Alain did not score.

This is a favorable result for Zhang Chaoqiang.

His chances of competing for the Europa League Golden Boot appear to have increased.
