Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle of Warsaw

Warsaw, the capital and largest city of Poland, has two professional teams, Legia Warsaw and Warsaw Poles.

Legia Warsaw is also known as the Warsaw Legion, because Legia means legion.

When the Lyon team arrived in Warsaw, they borrowed the training ground in Legia, Warsaw.

Seville, in turn, borrowed the training ground of the Poles in Warsaw.

As the most successful team in the Polish league, Legia Warsaw has a well-equipped training ground and the quality of the turf is excellent.

I have to say that the old guy Olas is still relatively reliable in terms of logistics.

If you don't borrow the training ground in Legia Warsaw, you can only go to the Poles in Warsaw.

The Warsaw Poles, as a Polish second-division team, are certainly not as good as Legia's training grounds.

After the training, the whole team of Lyon prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.

"Super Zhang, please help me sign it."

A short and stout man with a fat body was already waiting on the sidelines, and when he saw Zhang Chaoqiang coming, he immediately handed over a Lyon No. 25 jersey and said: "My son likes your super goal very much, it is his birthday in two weeks, and I want to give him a nice birthday present." ”

"Okay, I wish him a happy birthday."

Zhang Chaoqiang skillfully took the pen and signed his name on the jersey.

This guy can sneak into the training ground to ask for an autograph, and he should be a staff member of Legia Warsaw.

After only one day in Warsaw, Zhang Chaoqiang has already found himself the most popular player in the Europa League final.

The Europa League final is far inferior to the Champions League final in terms of attention and player fame.

So Zhang Chaoqiang relied on the free kick two days ago and directly became the popular king of the Europa League final.

Whether it is the training ground or the hotel, or even the ordinary fans on the side of the road, they will shout when they see Zhang Chaoqiang - Super Zhang.

And on various Europa League final posters on the streets of Warsaw, Zhang Chaoqiang was mentioned to the first C position.

When the previous Europa League final squad first came out, in UEFA's official publicity, Zhang Chaoqiang was obviously in second place, slightly behind Lacazette.

And now, he has become the default number one card of Lyon.

Soon two days passed.

On 27 May, at 7.45pm CET, the 2014/15 Europa League final officially began at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

"Lyon have just won the Ligue 1 title with Super Zhang's stunner, and it is a time when morale is high, and they must want to continue to win the Europa League and achieve the double of the season."

"Besides, Ligue 1 teams have never won the Europa League, and Lyon will certainly not let go of this opportunity to make history."

'Sevilla also have a reason to win, they lost to Valencia by one point in the race for top four in La Liga, and if they don't win the Europa League, they won't be able to play in next season's Champions League.

"And if Sevilla win the championship, they will successfully surpass Liverpool, Juventus, Inter Milan and other giants to become the first team to win the Europa League four times, and they will also make history."

Before the start of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang found an opportunity to use the last stealing day of the season.

[You launch a stealing day change against Carlos Bacca, reaction +2]

In the last game against Bordeaux, he only stole a little stamina, and this one just cooled down.

The game officially began, and Sevilla took advantage of the first kick-off and immediately launched an active attack.

Reyes took the ball and burst into the right side of the Lyon penalty area and fell to the ground under the defence of Bedimo.

The Sevilla players immediately took a penalty to the referee, but fortunately, England referee Atkinson was not really blind and ignored the downfall.

As Reyes, who was praised by Zidane as "playing football on a motorcycle", although he is now old, he still has basic skills.

Under his leadership, Sevilla's opening offensive played quite well, hitting the Lyon goal in succession.

Zhang Chaoqiang has been cruising in the midfield.

The opponent took the initiative to attack, and Lyon naturally had to find an opportunity to counterattack quickly, which was a familiar routine for the whole team.

In the 9th minute, Sevilla's cross was headed out by Bisevac, and Tolisso stopped the ball with his chest in front of his own penalty area, turned and kicked the ball forward.

"Good shot!!"

Narrations familiar with the Lyon-style have long been shouted.

Zhang Chaoqiang quickly plugged in from the left side, lightly unloaded with the outside of his right foot, and stopped the ball in front of him.

Then the soles of the feet are windy, and the forward rush accelerates!

"Keep an eye on him! Keep an eye on him!! ”

Sevilla coach Unai Emery has smooth black hair, and he looks deliberately dressed up and very photogenic.

But at this time, the other party's expression was extremely nervous, and he bent down and kept shouting.

Zhang Chaoqiang quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Sevilla penalty area, slowed down slightly, and struck directly from the ribs.

Sevilla defender Cariko also stepped in front of Zhang Chaoqiang, trying to block his shot and waiting for support from his teammates.

Zhang Chaoqiang did not hesitate, gently plucked the ball with the outside of his right foot, and quickly buckled it back with the inside of his foot.

Between a flick and a button, the ball has been switched to the left foot control.

At the same time, Carico was bewildered by this flick of buttons, and slightly conceded a gap.

Zhang Chaoqiang decisively swung his leg sideways and volleyed with his left foot!

Boom!!

The ball flew past Carico's feet and into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Rico had already moved to the near post and immediately fell to the ground to block Zhang Chaoqiang's shot.

But the close-range volley was too fast, and he was still a little slower.

The ball passed directly under him and flew straight into the goal.

Wow, set off a beautiful net flower.

β€œGoooooooal——————”

"The ball is in! Super Zhang!! It's his goal again!! ”

"A perfectly coordinated quick counter-attack, Tolisso's pass was very accurate, and Zhang's quick counter-attack and shot were even more beautiful!"

"Just nine minutes into the final, Lyon scored in the way they knew best."

"For the double, Lyon is bound to win!"

At the same time, cheers were also ringing in China.

"Well done, Zhang Chaoqiang!!"

"The counter-attack went from stopping the ball to pushing forward quickly and then shaking off the angle, and the whole process was fast and smooth, very silky."

"Zhang Chaoqiang's football style seems to be an extreme routine that is only fast and unbreakable, but at the same time, it is indispensable to have extremely solid basic support, which is what domestic players lack."

"Recently, many people have envied Zhang Chaoqiang's success, saying that if he has that speed, he can still play famously."

"But those people didn't see that if they didn't have this basic foundation, no matter how fast the speed was, it would be difficult to have room to play."

"Zhang Chaoqiang has scored 10 goals in this season's Europa League, and he has successfully surpassed South Korean star Cha Beom-geun to become the Asian player with the most goals in the Europa League."

"At the same time, this is the first time in 27 years since the 1988 Europa League final that an Asian player has scored in a European final!"

"The last Asian player who scored in the Europa League final was Cha Fangen, who had just been surpassed by Zhang Chaoqiang."
