After Zhang Chaoqiang scored a goal, Dnipro immediately organized a wave of counterattack.

However, Lyon's defence was solid, especially Umtiti, who was ordered to mark the opposing high striker Kalinic, and performed very well.

Dnipro attacked for more than ten minutes and did not find a chance, but was broken through the defense by Lyon's counterattack.

In the 38th minute, Lyon broke the ball at the back, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly advanced to the front with the ball, and sent the ball behind the opponent's defense with a straight stop.

Unfortunately, Lacazette was too aggressive and the linesman signaled offside.

As a result, the two teams ended the first half with a score of 0:1, and Lyon temporarily led by one goal away.

After a fifteen-minute half-time, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

With an away goal in hand, Lyon played with ease in the second half.

Konopriana kept looking for opportunities, but could not help Lyon.

In the 74th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang dribbled the ball in front of the penalty area to wipe over Ukrainian defender Rotan, and suddenly a long-range shot hit with great quality, almost straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

But Dnipro goalkeeper Boyko showed his good form again, flying up and flicking the ball over the crossbar with his fingers.

After missing that great chance to score, Lyon couldn't find another chance.

Dnipro was also unable to score due to the center being frozen by Umtiti.

So 0:1 on the scoreboard is kept until the end.

"At the end of the game, we congratulate Lyon, who scored away from home with a volley from Super Zhang to beat Ukrainian dark horse Dnipro 1-0."

"Zhang has risen to the top of the Europa League scorer list and if he can stay in that position until the end of the season, he will become the first Asian player to win the Europa League Golden Boot......

After the game, Zhang Chaoqiang was warmly embraced by forward coach Batickler.

"Well done, Zhang, try to win the Golden Boot, that's what you deserve......"

As the forward coach of Lyon, Baticle has been responsible for coaching Zhang Chaoqiang and Alexandre Lacazette for a long time.

Now one of the two is expected to become the French Golden Boot and the other is expected to become the Europa League Golden Boot, and Batickle is honored.

On the other hand, Barticle also won the Europa League Golden Boot, which was the most coveted individual accolade of his career.

"Super Zhang volleys a goal, Lyon repels Ukrainian dark horses away"

"Lyon defeated Dnipro by one goal, and China's fast horse scored the winning goal"

"Super Zhang broke the goal to rise to the first place in the scorer list, and is expected to become the first European Golden Boot in the history of the Lyon team"

Zhang Chaoqiang rose to the top of the Europa League scorer list, attracting enthusiastic reports from the French media.

Ligue 1 teams have poor results in Europe, so there are relatively few Ligue 1 players who have won the European Golden Boot.

In the Champions League, for example, Ligue 1 players have only won the Golden Boot six times in total, which is not only not as good as the other four major leagues, but also significantly inferior to the Portuguese league.

Portuguese league players have won the Champions League Golden Boot nine times.

However, Dutch league players have only won six times, which is just the same as Ligue 1.

And in the Europa League, Ligue 1 players fared even worse.

He has only won the Golden Boot twice so far.

Gérald Batickle in '92/93 and Stefan Givash in '97/'98.

There's not much to say about Batickle's career other than that Europa League Golden Boot.

Givash is famous, after all, he has won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot twice.

It's a pity that in the 98 World Cup, as the main striker of the French team, he played all the games, and he didn't get any magical grains, which ruined his reputation.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang is expected to become the third French player to win the Europa League Golden Boot, which naturally attracts the attention of the French media.

Moreover, no player in the history of the Lyon team has ever won the European Golden Boot, and once Zhang Chaoqiang wins the award, he will set a record in team history.

On the Asian side, Zhang Chaoqiang's name is also indispensable in the sports media of various countries.

Even the official website of the AFC hangs Zhang Chaoqiang high, hoping that he will continue to work hard to win the Europa League Golden Boot.

Asian players have never won any important golden boots in European football, and even Dong Fangzhuo's Bi B Golden Boot can be called golden.

Now that Zhang Chaoqiang has risen to the top of the Europa League scorer list, he is likely to become the first blockbuster golden boot for Asian players in European football, and they cannot turn a blind eye.

Chinese fans are also worried about Zhang Chaoqiang, constantly calculating the possibility of him winning the Golden Boot.

With Zhang Chaoqiang rising to the top scorer's ranks, Romelu Lukaku and Allan have become irrelevant.

Because the two have long been out of the Europa League, the number of goals is unlikely to increase.

At present, the only person who has the potential to make Zhang Chaoqiang lose the golden boot is Napoli star Higuain.

Napoli continued to play in the Europa League and in a 4-1 home win over Wolfsburg in the first leg of the quarter-finals, the Argentine centre-forward managed to score a goal to take their Europa League tally to seven.

Only one less than Zhang Chaoqiang.

According to the score advantage of the first leg, Napoli's promotion to the semi-finals is a high probability event, which is higher than Lyon's probability of qualifying.

So Higuain has at least three more chances to play, and it is entirely possible that he will surpass Zhang Chaoqiang in terms of goals.

If Zhang Chaoqiang wants to stabilize the Golden Boot, he has to continue to score goals.

In addition to Lyon and Napoli, the results of the other two sets of matches in the Europa League quarterfinals have also been released.

Fiorentina drew 1-1 away at Dynamo Kyiv and Sevilla beat Zenit St. Petersburg 2-1 at home.

It's all the big five league teams with a small advantage.

In the Champions League, Monaco and Paris are not having a good time.

Monaco lost 0:1 away to Juventus, although there is a possibility of returning to the home stadium to turn the tables, but it should not be large.

After all, the opponent is an old woman, and she is the best at grinding the opponent to death.

Grand Paris was more miserable, losing 1:3 to Barcelona at home, and there was basically no possibility of a reversal.

In the group stage, Grand Paris and Barcelona were in a group, and at that time, taking advantage of the uneven personnel of the opposing team, Grand Paris could still win a small game at home.

Now that MSN has been formed, Grand Paris can't kick the other side at all.

While reporting the results of the Champions League, the Lyon media also said that once Paris is out of the Champions League and Lyon continues to play in the Europa League, Lyon will face very high competitive pressure.

After returning to Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang continued to prepare urgently with the team.

On April 19, in the 33rd round of Ligue 1, Lyon hosted Saint-Etienne, the second leg of this season's Rhône derby.

Before the game, Lyon fans chanted slogans in unison - Lyon 1:0 Dnipro, Dnipro 1:0 Saint-Etienne.

In the Europa League group stage, Saint-Etienne was eliminated after losing 1-0 away to Dnipro, and now Lyon have the advantage against the same opponents, and of course will not miss this good opportunity to mock their sworn enemies.

In the stands of Gerland, there were mocking banners everywhere.

So after the game started, Lyon suffered.

In the 26th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang received Fekir's cross from the side and grabbed the point to push the goal, and the Gerland Stadium was full of cheers.

But before the end of the first half, Umtiti made a mistake under the pressure of the opponent to send a penalty, and Saint-Etienne equalized.

Just five minutes into the second half, veteran Al Yalai scored from distance to give Lyon the lead again.

However, it only took four minutes for Saint-Etienne to equalise again.

Apparently, the Saint-Etienne players were spurred up by the taunts of the Lyon fans, and they stubbornly fell behind twice but equalised twice.

Then the Green Army came up with a shameless but effective tactic, interrupting the game with fouls.

It was a derby in itself, and the referee's penalty scale was more lenient, which made Saint-Etienne's foul tactics very effective.

Until the end of the game, the score was still 2:2.

There have been two Rhône derbies this season, and the two sides have never been able to decide the winner.

The first leg was 3:3 and the second leg was 2:2.

But at the end of the game, the Saint-Etienne players cheered excitedly one by one, as if they had won the game.

Because they achieved their goal – to drop points to Lyon.

If you make a mockery, we will make you lose points, and even let you lose the crown.

After the game, the Parisian media reported on the front page as soon as possible.

"Paris is pressing, Lyon is overwhelmed"

In the Parisian media, there are predictions of Lyon's imminent collapse.
