Chapter Ninety-One: The King of Killing
The game officially began, and Lyon took the lead in the attack.
In the 5th minute, Tolisso took the ball forward to divide the side, Jordan Ferry on the right side directly passed to the goal, Zhang Chaoqiang followed up and inserted it near the small penalty area, and pushed the ball directly without stopping.
Lyon's entire attacking process was fast and fluid, and it was very interesting to watch.
However, the new German goalkeeper Trapp reacted quickly and turned sideways to block the ball with one hand.
"In just five minutes of the opening game, Zhang Chaoqiang almost broke through the goal of Grand Paris, and it can be seen that he is in very good form and he continues to aspire to the championship!"
It's just an ordinary shot, and the domestic commentary blows again.
As the game continues on the pitch, Lyonnais will soon discover that the overall form of Grand Paris is not very good.
Failed to win the Ligue 1 title last season, the French media have been hyping up the change of manager in Paris after the season.
But in exchange for a change, it was Blanco who sat in that position.
And recently, Zhang Chaoqiang and Lyon completed the contract renewal, and Grand Paris turned to pursue Di Maria frantically, creating a large number of transfer rumors.
In general, there is a bit of a panic in Grand Paris at the moment.
So taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Lyon launched a continuous offensive and kept threatening the opponent's goal.
In the 28th minute, Paris right-back Aurier stepped in to participate in the attack too aggressively, and Lyon did not hesitate to play behind the opponent when he got the ball.
Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass from Bedimo, immediately accelerated to start, shook off Matuidi, who was supplementing, and ran all the way to the front.
Cut inside from the left side into the box and shoot decisively.
The German goalkeeper once again showed a quick reaction, after all, it was his first game for the Grand Paris.
But the ball managed to get around his fingertips and fly into the far corner of the goal.
βGooooooalβββββ
"The ball is in! It's super Zhang again!! β
"Lyon's first goal of the new season was scored by Super Zhang!"
"Aurier plays too aggressively, he presses very high every time he attacks, and when you play against a fast horse player like Super Zhang, it's just deadly."

After Lyon's goal, they continued to look for opportunities to extend the score.
In the 39th minute, Fekir picked up a cross into the box and successfully found Lacazette.
But the latter's header went wide of the goal, and it was quite wide.
Since his injury, Alexandre Lacazette seems to be unable to regain the feeling of scoring goals in the first half of last season.
Alexandre Lacazette missed a great chance as Lyon ended the first half with a 1-0 lead.
After the break, both teams returned to the pitch.
After a short period of adjustment, the mentality of Grand Paris has improved a lot, and it has begun to play steadily, and Aurier is no longer aggressive.
Lyon is temporarily ahead of the score, so naturally he is not worried about wasting time with the opponent.
As a result, the two teams grinded, and the quality of the game was obviously inferior to the first half.
In the 71st minute, Grand Paris made a key substitution, and the 97-year-old Augustin came on to replace Ibrahimovic.
This substitution is more eye-catching than the game on the field, and it has attracted various interpretations from the commentators.
You must know that Ibrahimovic has been the top name of the team and even the entire Ligue 1 league since he joined Grand Paris.
Unless he's injured or has a huge lead, he won't be replaced easily.
Now that Paris is behind the score, it is indeed unusual to replace Ibrahimovic on the field.
Importantly, after this substitution, Grand Paris quickly equalised.
In the 83rd minute, the new Augustin created a free kick from the wing, Verratti drove the ball out, and Cavani levelled the score with a diving header.
The Uruguayan rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly.
Scoring a goal at this point in time is basically a perfect equalizer.
The commentator also kept praising Blanco, thinking that his substitution adjustment effect was very good.
At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang triggered [Mr. Key].
[Talent "Mr. Key" effect activated, temporary all stats +6]
In the 85th minute, Lyon attacked for the first time after the game restarted, Jordan Ferry went forward past Maxwell and sent a cross.
Zhang Chaoqiang and Alexandre Lacazette were both in the box, so there was a good chance for the ball.
But the ball didn't pass at all and was blocked by Brazilian defender David Luiz.
But he was suspected of handball.
The guy had a clear arm lift, which was the only way to block Ferry's cross.
The Lyon crowd immediately reported to the referee, but they did not get the penalty they wanted.
At this time, a penalty is awarded, and it is a killer penalty.
The referee is reluctant to be the protagonist.
Soon the game time entered 90 minutes, and Zhang Chaoqiang's [Mr. Key] was triggered for the second time.
Grand Paris has begun to shrink their defence and are ready to play extra time.
Zhang Chaoqiang also had some expectations.
He was eager to see if Mr. Key would actually be triggered three times in overtime.
In the 91st minute, Lyon attacked the front, and Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass from central defender Umtiti.
Accelerate, stop, and change direction.
Through a change of rhythm, Zhang Chaoqiang successfully shook off Verratti.
Take a step forward, five meters away from the forbidden area, and directly fire a long-range gun.
"Super Zhang! Knock on the door?!! β
With the narrator's uncertain shout, the ball took off in an instant without any spin.
Matuidi, who rushed to make up for the defense, was frightened and subconsciously turned his head to dodge.
The sound of the soccer ball passed by his ears with the wind.
German goalkeeper Trapp saw the ball flying straight and immediately prepared to make a save.
But the fast-flying soccer ball seemed to be erratic, deflecting to the left, then to the right, and then falling again.
Deciduous balls!
Trapp immediately saw that the opponent had hit a falling leaf ball.
There was no way, Trapp could only stand in front of the goal, and wait until he really judged the entry path of the football, and then flew to pounce.
But it was already too late.
The ball flew in from the right side of the goal, a not-so-tricky angle.
But the erratic football made it impossible for Trapp to make a judgment at the first time, resulting in a late save.
βgoooooooalβββββββ
"Super Zhang!! It's lore again!! Here he is again!! β
"Paris equalized after 80 minutes, it looked like a perfect equalizer, but Super Zhang used his actual actions to tell everyone that don't even think about it!"
"Another stoppage-time goal, another stunner!"
"Super Zhang is a real super player, he is the real king of lore!!"
The French commentator let out a hoarse cry, so that the nickname of the king of lore resounded among thousands of households in France.
In the streets and alleys of Lyon, countless fans stepped on the tables and chairs and clapped their palms and shouted in unison.
"The Lore King!! The King of Lore!! β

On the court, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't expect it.
He was ready for extra-time and just tried to shoot from distance.
Unexpectedly, he made a world wave and directly killed the game.
The whole Lyon team celebrated wildly on the pitch, and the fans at the scene also sent cheers and applause.
The overall quality of the second half was not as good as the first, but Cavani's equalizer and Zhang Chaoqiang's stunner, these two goals were enough to feast everyone's eyes.
The bout restarted, and Grand Paris took advantage of the last time to rush for two more rounds.
Especially in the last moment, Lucas Jr.'s cross from the side and Cavani's header in front of the goal, almost equalized again.
Fortunately, Anthony Lopes reacted well and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
So Paris missed the last chance to drag the game into extra time.
"At the end of the game, we congratulate Lyon, who won the French Super Cup for the eighth time in their history with a 2-1 winner of the French Super Cup thanks to their super brace."
"This allows Lyon to remain at the top of the French Super Cup rankings, well ahead of second place."
"In second place is none other than Lyon's opponents today, Paris, who have won the French Super Cup four times."
The Chinese commentator once again congratulated Zhang Chaoqiang.
"Zhang Chaoqiang scored twice in the French Super Cup in his first appearance, and once again presented a stunner, and every goal he scored in every game in Lyon was a new professional record."
"At present, Zhang Chaoqiang has won the Europa League, Ligue 1, French League Cup, and French Super Cup in Lyon, and he has almost won the French Grand Slam, just one French Cup championship away."
"In two weeks' time, Lyon will play in the UEFA Super Cup, against Barcelona, who have just won the treble, a very strong opponent."
"We wish Zhang Chaoqiang another outstanding performance and win another European trophy!"
