After Zhang Chaoqiang broke the deadlock, Besiktas suddenly became conservative.

The opposition is clearly prepared to win, as they were against Liverpool in the round of 32.

If they only lose by one goal away from home, then they believe they have what it takes to come back and turn the tables back at home.

Playing until the end of the first half, Lyon couldn't find another chance to find the back of the net.

At half-time, Fournier was pleased with the team's overall performance in the first half.

The team's first priority in the second half was not to concede a goal.

Go for a goal without letting the opponent score an away goal.

But Besiktas seemed to have anticipated Lyon's tactics, and they played more conservatively in the second half, completely trying to hold on to the 0:1.

Against Liverpool, they were able to make it 1-0 away and then return to their home game, and against Lyon they were more confident.

The second half played for more than ten minutes, and Lyon dominated the game but did not have many good chances.

Fournier is still hesitating, should he replace Gourcuff and others to strengthen the attack?

But Besiktas is very decisive and is already strengthening the defense with substitutions.

Alexandre Lacazette's form in this game was mediocre, which may have something to do with his attitude towards the game.

He is still top scorer in Ligue 1 and has a clear lead, so he wants to focus on Ligue 1.

If Lyon wins the Ligue 1 title, he will win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot himself.

It was an absolutely successful season for him.

As for the Europa League?

It doesn't matter at all, it's as far as you can go.

Lacazette was not strong, and Zhang Chaoqiang had to take on more tasks.

Left, middle, right.

He went back and forth, running non-stop.

But I couldn't find a good opportunity.

Besiktas was not stupid, and they could see that Lacazette was not highly motivated, so they naturally devoted most of their attention to the active Zhang Chaoqiang.

Eighty minutes into the game, the fans basically accepted the score of 1:0.

A narrow one-goal win at home and a missed away goal is not a bad result.

Even the Lyon coaching staff accepted the scoreline and replaced Fekir with veteran Malblanco.

This is Lyon's most common time-lapse substitution this season, along with strengthening the defence.

But Zhang Chaoqiang is still trying his best to find opportunities.

Liverpool is not far away, and the score of 1:0 is really not safe.

In the 84th minute, Tolisso and Jordan Ferry finally found their chance after passing back and forth in the front court, and sent the ball through the gap into the right side of the Besiktas penalty area.

Zhang Chaoqiang started to step forward as soon as possible, but the Besiktas players were very closely marked against him.

At the same time as Zhang Chaoqiang started, Turkish defender Ursar immediately followed.

The space in the penalty area is very small, and Zhang Chaoqiang's explosiveness is not outstanding enough, so he can't get rid of the opponent in an instant.

And the Turk also kept pulling with small movements, which made it more difficult for him to pull away.

Zhang Chaoqiang caught up with the football, and the Turkish defenders arrived almost at the same time.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Chaoqiang stepped forward.

Lift your right foot and slam it back!

"Zhang Chaoqiang! Strike!! ”

The man was still rushing forward, but the football was forced back into the middle of the penalty area.

The Turk, who was desperately chasing Zhang Chaoqiang, didn't expect him to handle the ball like this, and rushed forward two more steps before reacting.

Slow down and stop, and look back.

The ball has rolled quickly to the middle of the penalty area.

Gonarons, who was in ambush on the periphery, followed with a hard pull, and no one interfered at all.

The football flew straight into the Besiktas goal like a cannonball.

“Gooooooooal——————”

"The ball is in! Gonarons shoots hard!! Lyon leads by two goals!! ”

"It was a brilliant goal from Lyon, Tolisso's sharp through ball was sent to Zhang, who was very imaginative with a back-heel kick from a defender, and then the Lyon captain seized the opportunity."

'Gonarons was a defensive midfielder who had a rare quality shot on target.

"I had enough power but I managed to hold down the football and didn't knock it off!"

The football flew into the opponent's goal for the second time, and the Gerland Stadium boomed and boiled instantly.

Originally, everyone was ready to accept a small victory, but suddenly there was an unexpected surprise.

Gonallons, who scored the goal, cheered and rushed to Zhang Chaoqiang and hugged him hard.

"Haha, that's a great spread!"

For a defensive midfielder who averages just two goals a season, every goal deserves his cheers.

What's more, tonight's goal was particularly beautiful, and it could probably be the best goal of his career.

At this time, the broadcast screen began to play back Zhang Chaoqiang's knock ball back, and the domestic commentary blew again.

"Zhang Chaoqiang is like a long eye in the back of his head, he raised his foot and knocked the ball in front of Lyon captain Gonarons accurately to help the latter score."

"In the previous goal, Zhang Chaoqiang also used his heel, but with his left foot."

"And this time, he's using his right foot."

"It can be said that Zhang Chaoqiang completed a pass and a shot with two heels, allowing Lyon to successfully beat Besiktas with a score of 2:0, which was something that Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool had not done before......"

The game restarted and Besiktas couldn't make a difference in the final minutes.

So the score of 2:0 remained until the end.

'A 2-0 win at home is a good lead.

"Although Turkey is known as the devil's home stadium, we believe that the advantage of the first leg will be enough to help Lyon qualify......"

※※※

After the game, Croatian coach Slavin Bilic, who is the coach of Besiktas, said he was confident of returning to his home stadium to turn the tables.

In the history of European competition, it is not uncommon to fall behind by two goals in the first leg but successfully turn the tables in the second leg.

At the same time, Bilic also gave high praise to Zhang Chaoqiang.

"The Chinese superman did show a top performance tonight, I have never seen such a good Chinese player before, or even such a good Asian player, but we are confident that he will be frozen at the Vodafone Stadium ......"

On the night of the game, Lyon's newspaper Progress highlighted Zhang Chaoqiang in its report on the game, as he equalled the team's all-time record.

Lyon's top scorer in the Europa League in a single season.

The previous record holder was French striker Alain Cavaglia, who scored seven goals for Lyon in the Europa League in 98/99.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang is tied for the record, and there is a good chance to break the record.

Speaking of Zhang Chaoqiang, the situation of the other party is somewhat similar, both of them wore hats in the Europa League, both scored seven goals, and both ranked second in the scorer list.

Kawaglia was the final second.

The Europa League Golden Boot that season was won by Parma's Chiesa and Real Sociedad's Mateo Kovacevic together, with both scoring eight goals.

And now Zhang Chaoqiang is also ranked second with seven goals, and the number of goals at the top of the list is also eight.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang still has a chance to continue scoring goals and strive to win the Golden Boot.
