At the beginning of February, the German transfer market routinely updated the value of players.

Since June last year, Zhang Chaoqiang's value has remained at 18 million euros.

Now, after more than half a year, he has finally ushered in a sharp increase in value, rising to 30 million euros at one time.

The value of 30 million not only made Zhang Chaoqiang return to the first place in Asia, but also became the first in the Lyon team.

Lacazette, who was previously the most expensive in the Lyon team, rose to 25 million euros at the end of last season, and has since stabilized at that price, which has been the highest in the Lyon team for a long time.

Now, with the latest value of 30 million euros, Zhang Chaoqiang has become a veritable top star in Lyon.

Even in the entire Ligue 1 league, there are currently few players who are more valuable than Zhang Chaoqiang.

Di Maria, Cavani, Verratti, and Matuidi in Grand Paris, there are only these four in full play.

After all, 30 million is already a big star-level value, and it can occupy an important position in the giants.

At the same time, the European media also talked about Zhang Chaoqiang's transfer.

There is no doubt that Zhang Chaoqiang is a phenomenal talent in European football this season and clearly wants to leave Lyon in the summer.

Combined with Zhang Chaoqiang's current age, value and performance on the field, the transfer fee is definitely not cheap.

In terms of value alone, reference to Kevin De Bruyne last summer, who was worth 40 million euros when he was at Wolfsburg.

However, due to his fame and many pursuit teams, he finally transferred to Manchester City for 80 million.

On February 10, in the round of 16 of the French Cup, Lyon hosted the French second team Bourg.

Substitute Lyon drew 1-1 with their opponents in the space of 90 minutes, and the extra-time was won by Cornet's stunner.

In three consecutive rounds of the French Cup, Lyon met the amateur team, the French C team, and the French B team, and their luck was really good.

Cornet has scored five goals in three French Cup games, much to the delight of Lyon fans.

There's finally someone on the bench who can do it.

In addition, in the subsequent draw for the quarterfinals of the French Cup, Lyon finally drew a Ligue 1 team, but it was not too difficult.

Ajaccio, promoted from Ligue 1.

Even if Lyon comes off the bench, they still have a chance to continue to advance.

On February 14, in the 26th round of Ligue 1, Lyon hosted Caen.

In the end, relying on Zhang Chaoqiang, Umtiti, Lacazette and Tolisso to score respectively, Lyon won easily 4:1 at home.

After scoring in this game, Zhang Chaoqiang has scored in six consecutive Ligue 1 games, successfully surpassing Lyon's top scorer Dinalo, becoming the second-most consecutive Ligue 1 scorer in team history.

Dinalo was the only player on Lyon's early card and holds Lyon's all-time goal record with 222 goals.

In the sixties and seventies when he played, Lyon was only a middle and lower team, but he helped Lyon win three French Cups in 15 years, which is a great achievement.

Until the 21st century, those three French Cup winners were the three most prestigious trophies in Lyon's room of honour.

It is precisely for this reason that many old Lyon fans still believe that Dinalo is the best star in the team's history.

Dinalo had scored in five consecutive Ligue 1 games at the time.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has successfully surpassed the other party.

At the top of the list is Brazilian star Sonny Anderson, who has scored in nine consecutive Ligue 1 games during his time at Lyon.

By the way, Sonny Anderson is the first player in Lyon's history to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot.

Lyon's big win at home to Caen came with good news from the other side.

Grand Paris couldn't attack at home for a long time, and finally drew 0:0 with Lille.

After six consecutive games, Lyon finally recovered a two-point difference.

Grand Paris currently has 67 points and Lyon has 66 points.

The gap between the two sides is back within one game.

In addition, Ibrahimovic did not score in this game, which means that Zhang Chaoqiang once again opened a one-goal advantage.

Zhang Chaoqiang 25 goals, Ibrahimovic 21 goals.

After the 26th round of Ligue 1, the European knockout round has officially arrived.

Among the Ligue 1 teams, Lyon and Grand Paris will play in the Champions League, and Marseille and Saint-Etienne will play in the Europa League.

Ligue 1 was supposed to feature four teams in the Europa League this season, but Lille and Monaco had a visionary group stage and were ready to compete for the top three in the league, with only Marseille and Saint-Etienne advancing to the knockout rounds.

With the knockout rounds of the Champions League just around the corner, the French media are talking about distractions in Europe.

Last season, Lyon and Grand Paris competed for the French championship, while Lyon played in the Europa League and Grand Paris played in the Champions League, and the French media kept talking about the problem of distraction in Europe, but in the end Lyon successfully won both the French Ligue 1 and Europa League titles.

Now they are the same old cliché.

However, this season's situation is different from last season.

Last season, Lyon had a clear advantage in Ligue 1 and the Europa League was simpler than the Champions League, so Lyon was able to go both ways and go to the end.

This season, Paris is the dominant side.

In Ligue 1, Paris is temporarily ahead of Lyon.

In the Champions League, the opponents of Grand Paris are more relaxed.

At least in the round of 16, Lyon will face Chelsea, while Paris will only need to face Benfica.

Therefore, the French media took out the old routine again, believing that after the Champions League knockout round starts, Lyon is likely to quickly withdraw from the French championship due to the distraction of the Champions League, and Grand Paris can win without a fight.

The two legs of the Champions League round of 16 are split between two midweeks, with Paris playing in the first week and Lyon in the second.

So the whole Lyon team is preparing for the game and waiting for the news of the game.

In the top 16 games of the first four groups, the team that won the group was all won.

Wolfsburg defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 3-2 away,

Real Madrid beat Roma 2-0 away,

Manchester City beat Dynamo Kyiv 3-1 away,

Grand Paris beat Benfica 2-1 away.

It can be said that the four teams that lost the first leg have little hope.

Because in the history of the Champions League, there have been cases of losing at home and then going away to turn the tables very, very rare, and there have only been two cases after the Champions League has been restructured.

The most important thing is that the four teams that lost at home in the first leg are all the second teams in the group.

Invisibly, the atmosphere in Lyon's squad became a bit tense.

Because Lyon also finished second in the group.

"Don't worry, although we are second in the group, we have more points than many group winners."

'If you really have to compare points, we're more like top of the group than Chelsea.'

At the end of the training session, Zhang Chaoqiang took the opportunity to cheer up his teammates.

But what he said was true.

This season's Champions League group stage results are better than Lyon, only Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Grand Paris are the three teams.

Chelsea's group stage is 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 13 points, which is indeed not as high as Lyon's 15 points.

Back at the accommodation, Anne was at home helping him feed the cats.

Zhang Chaoqiang sat on the sofa, petting the cat with one hand and his girlfriend with the other, and looked at the attributes by the way.
