Zhang Yang's name spread all over the world again, and the entire European football world was restless because of this young man.

However, for Zhang Yang, Marseille was eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea, and the match with Chelsea has passed. It tied Altafini's goal record, which naturally made Zhang Yang extremely excited. However, people cannot always live in the memory of the glory of the past and must look forward. Although the media is still hyping, Zhang Yang's excitement has almost passed and has become much quieter.

In France, Zhang Yang's popularity is still hot. At the same time, this also makes more people look forward to the weekend league. In the 28th round of the 2006/2007 Ligue 1 League, Marseille challenged Lyon away. Currently, in the Ligue 1 league, Marseille ranks second in the league standings. Lyon is the leader of the Ligue 1 league, and they are eight points ahead of Marseille. With eleven rounds left in the Ligue 1 this season, Marseille wants to compete for the league championship, and the situation is not optimistic.

"Young guys, it's over. Everything else except the league is over. We have no other way to go! There is only one goal, league championship! Only championship! We must win the league championship, which is the best reward for your efforts this season! There are eleven rounds in the league, and we are eight points behind Lyon. The gap is not small, but, boys, don't think too much, we just need to do ours well! Just wait for the Lyons to make mistakes! I believe that the league championship will be ours, because you deserve the honor of the championship!"

"Coach, there is also the French Cup, we want to be the double champion." Zhang Yang shouted.

"You are right!" Ribery cheered loudly and expressed support.

"Okay, double champions, the more champions, the better. Of course I have no objection, it depends on your performance." Fernandez also smiled.

"No problem, coach, look at ours."

"That's right, just starting this weekend's league, we're only five points away from defeating Lyon."

"That's right, we are not even afraid of AC Milan and Chelsea, but are we afraid of Lyon?"

This is the effect of Zhang Yang helping Marseille to draw Chelsea three to three after he came on the bench while falling behind zero to two. Although Marseille was eliminated from the Champions League, the morale of the whole team was not lost and he was not dejected because he was eliminated. Instead, he was very morale because they left the European arena with their heads raised, and Marseille won the respect of the entire Europe.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Don't be proud just because we once tied Chelsea. You have a deep understanding of the difficulties of that game. The opponent tomorrow is Lyon, and they are the leaders. If such a team can win the league championship for four consecutive years, we must not underestimate the opponent!" Fernandez felt that the atmosphere of the whole team was a bit too far and had to cool down the team.

I don’t know if it’s a bit fluttering by the media recently, or if it’s too excited today, Zhang Yang sang a counter-topic with Fernandez below: “Don’t worry, coach, we have not lost to Lyon in the past two seasons. It’s absolutely fine to win them.”

"That's right."

"But, Lyon is at home."

"So what about home court? Didn't we win at Gerland last season?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid of them."

Fernandez was a little amused when he looked at these indifferent players. He tried hard to make the atmosphere tense, but it was useless at all.

"Okay, Zhang." Fernandez looked at Zhang Yang and said, "If you don't score a goal in tomorrow's game and help the team win Lyon, I will punish you. How about it?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment: "No, coach? They said too..." He looked back and found that everyone was pretending to be honest, as if no one had ever agreed with him just now. Only Ribery was winking at him.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Stop reading randomly, you heard what I said just now. How about it?" Fernandez looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang was not willing to give in. He stared at Fernandez and said, "Okay, I agree." Then he scratched his head and asked, "But, coach, what is the punishment you are talking about?"

"Don't worry about the punishment for now. Haven't you agreed? Have you regretted it? Or have you not confident in yourself?" Fernandez sneered.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Yang said bluntly, "Okay, I agree, I will definitely score a goal tomorrow."

"It's not just a goal, what I just said is that scoring goals helps the team win the game. Isn't it meaningless to hear clearly?"

Ribery whistled.

Zhang Yang turned around and glared at him. He looked at the head coach Fernandez again. He knew that the head coach was provoking, but he still came to his senses. No, it should be said that Zhang Yang didn't mind the head coach's provocation, because he was originally full of fighting spirit, and this was not a conflict. It was just that there was an extra so-called punishment compared to usual. However, will he give the head coach a chance to punish him? Of course not!

"Leave the goal to me! If the Lyons can score three goals, I can help the team score four goals!"

"good!"

"Hehehe, what's good? Is our defense line that bad?"

※※※※※※※※※※

"Okay, stop making trouble," Fernandez said, and then a smile of conspiracy was successful on his face. "Zhang, don't give me a chance to punish you."

Zhang Yang suddenly felt fooled. Although he had confidence in himself, he always felt something was wrong. Oh, by the way, what was wrong was that the head coach didn't say how to punish him. Could he have to go naked on the street and run, and do it himself? My buddy is not an exposure maniac... Bah, what do you think? Just use goals to help the team win!

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Yang was a little worried. Anyway, he made up his mind that this game would be more desperate than before, even more desperate than when he was the most. He is a person with good face and proud. Since he has made a bet, he must do it well.

This poor child didn't think about whether he would have to give some reward from the head coach if he did it himself.

※※※※※※※※※※

Then Fernandez once again analyzed some tactics for tomorrow's game to the whole team and explained the tactics of Lyon in a targeted manner. The pre-match mobilization meeting ended.

The players all left, went home or went out for a leisurely manner. Head coach Fernandez did not leave, and he returned to his office, with Marseille assistant coach Hiltney. The two need to consider some tactical details of tomorrow's game against Lyon.

Although the players have high morale and express their confidence in winning Lyon, as head coach Fernandez, he still dare not be careless. After all, Lyon is the leader of the league. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the super giant of the Ligue 1 team that can win the league championship for four consecutive years. Marseille really does not underestimate the capital of Lyon. Moreover, this game is really important for Marseille. If you lose this game, Marseille will almost be able to declare that you will miss the league championship this season.

What is playing on the computer is the Champions League match between Lyon and Roma at home in the middle of the week. In the first round of the two sides, Lyon tied Roma away from home by 0-0. However, in the mid-week game, Lyon lost 0-2 at home and was eliminated. The exit of Lyon and Marseille also announced that the French Ligue 1 team was wiped out in the UEFA Champions League this season.

On the computer screen, what is being played is Lyon's second goal. Fernandez moved the mouse and pressed the pause button. Then he pointed to the player on the computer screen.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Anthony Reveille?" Hiltney asked softly. He was of course familiar with the right-back of Lyon team. The reason why Hiltney was chosen as an assistant by Fernandez was inseparable from Hiltney's familiarity with the ability and characteristics of the players of Ligue 1 teams. Hiltney could even accurately state Reveille's birth date, height, and weight.

"Born on November 10, 1979, 181cm, 76kg. Playing as right back." Sure enough, Hiltney said.

Revier has been able to ensure the main position of the club for many years, but the prospects for the national team are getting dimmer. Revier has always been synonymous with "mediocrity" in the minds of fans. What he should be most grateful for for being selected for the national team for many years is his club. Revier of course cannot be useless. Revier has the rare explosive power of white players, likes to break through at high speed, and often firmly inserts into the enemy's hinterland, and his crossing ability is not weak. Unfortunately, Revier is not satisfactory in defense as a defender. His one-on-one defensive ability is often criticized.

Just in the computer screen, Revier unfortunately became the background character for Mancini's wonderful cycling goal.

"It's this position." Fernandez nodded. Revier, or Lyon's right side, was the breakthrough he chose. He even imagined in his mind the scene of Ribery and Zhang Yang, these two fast horses, attacking Lyon's right side in turn!

"Yes, Revier is not Zhang Yang's opponent at all." Hiltney also said excitedly, "But we have to be careful of his assists. His defense is not good, but the assist ability is pretty good."

"What are you afraid of? In this game, who is comparing with Lyon has more goals?" Fernandez said without hesitation.

This kid was surprised when it was Hiltney's turn. Did the Marseille team still insist on attacking at the Gerland Stadium in this game? This reminded him of the encounter between the two teams last season, which was a big attack drama.

However, the head coach has absolute decision-making power for the team's tactics. Since Fernandez has made the decision, he naturally won't say much. The job he has to do is to make up for the head coach's shortcomings and gaps next to him.
