Back in Lyon, the team didn't have much time to rest.

The coaching staff tried their best to help the players adjust, but it was not clear whether it would be effective.

What's more, the schedule is intensive, and there is not much time left for everyone to adjust.

On May 14, in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals, the Lyon team flew to Naples, the largest city in southern Italy, to challenge the Napoli team away.

Although he had a huge lead of 3:0 in the first leg, Fournier did not dare to be careless at all and still arranged for the main team to play.

Now the team is exhausted, and if it really wants to be overturned away, it will definitely affect the league, and the consequences are incalculable.

Therefore, Lyon played with the main force, and at the same time the tactics were very conservative, basically based on stubborn defense.

As long as you don't concede three goals in a row, you will definitely qualify for the final.

With the blessing of Tietong's tactics, Lyon did not concede the goal until 70 minutes of the second half.

Insigne assists and Callejon scores.

But it was only one goal.

Lyon lost 0:1 away to Napoli and successfully advanced with an aggregate score of 3:1.

"Congratulations to Lyon, they knocked out Napoli and qualified for the European final for the first time in their history!"

"At the same time, this is also the first time in 11 years that another Ligue 1 team has finally advanced to the European final!"

At the end of the game, the French commentator was very excited.

The last time a Ligue 1 side reached a European final was in the 03/04 season, when Monaco reached the Champions League final and Marseille reached the Europa League final.

Unfortunately, the final result was not good, and both teams lost in the final.

At the same time, the Chinese commentators were also cheering excitedly.

"Congratulations to Zhang Chaoqiang, who helped Lyon qualify for the Europa League final with his outstanding performance and is about to become the first player in the history of Chinese football to participate in the European final!"

"At the same time, because Higuain did not score in this game, that super strong basically locked the Europa League Golden Boot, and his only remaining competitor now is himself, to see if he can continue to score in the final and continue to break the record!"

At the end of the game, the whole Lyon team was hugging and cheering passionately.

The team reached the European final for the first time in its history, and at this moment everyone is the team history record.

The fly in the ointment is the away promotion, without the cheers of the home fans, which is somewhat lacking.

In the Europa League away game against Napoli, Zhang Chaoqiang took the opportunity to steal two more points of flexibility from Insigne, increasing his flexibility attribute to 77 points.

After returning to France, the Lyon team was universally praised by the French press.

After all, this is a rare European achievement in Ligue 1 in the past decade.

But the people of Lyon didn't have time to rest, and they kept rushing to catch the game.

Three days later, on May 17, in the penultimate round of Ligue 1 this season, Lyon played Rennes away.

The two games in a row made Lyon once again in a slump, not only facing Rennes for a long time, but even facing a great threat to their own goal twice.

Had it not been for Anthony López's timely save, Lyon might have conceded the first goal again.

Faced with this situation, Fournier took the opportunity to adjust his strategic goals at half-time.

"We tried to be as steady as possible in the second half and made sure we didn't lose."

"As long as we get a point from Rennes, then we can still hold down Paris, and if we win Bordeaux at home in the last round, we can also win the title!"

Lyon's goal before the game was to get three points from Rennes and a draw at home to Bordeaux in the final round to win the title.

But now the situation has changed, and the team's form is even worse than it was in the previous round.

So Fournier had to make such an arrangement.

Take a point from Rennes to stabilize the situation, take advantage of the one-week break after the end of this round, quickly adjust the team's state, and fight Bordeaux in the last round.

The advantage of this arrangement is that there is a week to adjust the time, and the disadvantage is that there is no room for error in the final round, and you have to win to win the championship.

The second half began, and both teams returned to the field.

Fournier watched his players step onto the lawn, his eyes were divided, and he never left the Chinese wearing the number 25 shirt.

This kid always has a magical performance at a critical moment.

Although Lacazette is the first contributor to Lyon's top of the table, he has scored 30 league goals so far, which is quite efficient.

But at this critical moment of competing for the championship, Fournier always felt that the Chinese were more reliable.

For example, in the last round against Caen, it was his one pass and one shot that led the team to a reversal and snatched back three points.

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know what the coach expected of him, but he knew that if he could get three points from Rennes, it would be the best.

Because Bordeaux in the last round is not weak, and it is desperately fighting for three, it will never make Lyon feel better.

However, the overall state of the team in this game is sluggish, and the head coach's arrangement is considered to be safe, which is understandable.

Therefore, he can only rely on himself to find opportunities.

In other words, rely on Mr. Key to find opportunities.

After adjusting the strategy, Lyon focused on defense, and their goal was much safer.

But at the same time, the number of hits into the opponent's dangerous area is also relatively small.

Eighty minutes later, the score on the field was still 0:0, and Zhang Chaoqiang's [Mr. Key] was successfully triggered.

But he only managed to hit a few long-range shots, and he never changed the score for the team.

[Mr. Key] is indeed a good talent, but it does not always make Zhang Chaoqiang change his life.

If that's the case, Zhang Chaoqiang will directly incarnate an invincible player who will never lose in his life.

In this way, Lyon drew 0-0 away to Rennes.

Failed to get the three points he had hoped for, but managed to get a crucial one.

Without this point, Lyon would have really lost the initiative in the title race.

While Lyon drew away at Rennes, Grand Paris won 2-1 away at Montpellier.

In the latest Ligue 1 standings, Lyon continues to occupy the top spot with 24 wins, 10 draws, 3 losses and 82 points, and Grand Paris is in second place with 24 wins, 9 draws, 4 losses and 81 points, just one point behind Lyon.

The other four teams in the European zone also won this round, with Monaco currently on 67 points, Marseille and Bordeaux on 66 and Saint-Etienne on 64.

So the last round of Ligue 1 will be a big scuffle.

Given the fierce competition in Ligue 1, the French media are actively reporting on the different outcomes that could arise in the final round.

Lyon's "Progressive" gave a clear report on the front page - "Lyon has its last two decisive battles".

Next Saturday, May 23, it was the final day of the Ligue 1 match.

On May 27, Wednesday of the following week, it was the day of the Europa League final.

What kind of results Lyon's hard work in a season can produce depends on how well the two decisive battles in these four days are played in the end.

The media of the big four leagues are also following the situation in Ligue 1 as their domestic league has ended early.

Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Juventus in Serie A both won the title four rounds in advance, Chelsea in the Premier League won the title three rounds in advance, and Barcelona in La Liga won the title one round in advance.

Among the five major leagues, only Ligue 1 has not yet decided the winner.

Of course, there is also the most closely watched Champions League match-up, which will not start until after the Europa League final.

The final was between Barcelona and Juventus.
