Chapter 254 The Champions League Knockout Begins
An hour later, Jessica came out of Zhang Chong's office with a satisfied smile.
Zhang Chong sat on the sofa and sighed while wiping the water stains on the sofa.
She really doesn't pick a place...
It is said that the girls cultivated by capitalism have something to learn, and the office is really exciting...
No wonder an island country has a soft spot for the office scene...
However, he was being blackmailed by her?
Sure enough, the woman's mouth, a deceitful ghost, agreed that it would no longer have anything to do with him...
After paying the physical price, Zhang Chong reached an agreement with her.
The next day, the Bury Club announced that it would carry out a year-end dividend, distributing the [-] million pounds in the account as a dividend to the company's two shareholders.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans.
In their view, this is the beginning of Zhang Chong's blood sucking.
However, Zhang Chong stepped forward and issued a statement, saying that this is an individual behavior, and such large-scale dividends will not appear in the future.
This temporarily appeased the team's supporters.
At the same time, Zhang Chong announced the acquisition of 4000% of the company's equity from Jessica Bell, the second largest shareholder, at a price of [-] million pounds.
After the acquisition is completed, Zhang Chong will hold 90.00% of the club's equity.
This news did not attract too much attention. After all, the team is Zhang Chong's talk, and more or less will not affect the team's operations.
As for the follow-up Hercules deal, Zhang Chong hasn't had time to go to Spain yet, and we'll wait until he can spare time.
After the transaction was completed, Jessica flew back to Hainan in a hurry, and according to her, she had to rush back to celebrate the Chinese New Year...
Zhang Chong was taken aback by her.
Are you a foreigner celebrating the Lunar New Year?
But Zhang Chong didn't have the blessing of leisure at all, and he still had to face the intensive schedule.
Bury won back-to-back Premier League wins over Reading and Stoke City in the following fixtures, before going on to beat Southampton [-]-[-] in the FA Cup.
Zhang Chong has been rotated in these games to ensure that the main players can get enough rest.
After these games are over, Bury will go to France to participate in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals and challenge Lyon away.
As a strong team in the Ligue [-], Lyon can also be regarded as an old acquaintance in the Champions League.
Especially before Greater Paris has not become Greater Paris, it can be regarded as a top-level team in Ligue [-].
The great cause of seven consecutive championships can't even be touched by Paris.
However, since Juninho Jr. left the team and the young Benzema was bought by Real Madrid, the team has gradually become farther and farther away from the Ligue [-] champion.
In the Champions League, their most impressive thing is their continuous suppression of Real Madrid.
Facing Real Madrid in six games in three seasons, Lyon was unbeaten with three wins and three draws, and in the UEFA Champions League in the 0910-[-] season, Real Madrid in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship was eliminated cleanly.
It wasn't until Mourinho took over the team that Real Madrid found the field back on Lyon.
But at this time Lyon is already a very ordinary Champions League team, and they are a little lucky to qualify this time.
However, there are still a few players Zhang Chong is familiar with in their formation, such as Memphis Depay who joined from Manchester United, Kondogbia who once went to Inter Milan for a circle, and a talented midfielder plagued by injuries Fekir.
Of course, since they sold Tolisso last summer and Lacazette this winter, their strength has been greatly affected.
And Bury's strength is still better than them.
In this game, Zhang Chong lined up their full main lineup.
Mendy, Klaus, Shik, Maguire, Cheng Sichu, Kante, Maddison, Chen Ming, Traore, Mbappe and Antoine Hill.
At the Olympic Park, Bury showed the French fans what the Premier League champions are capable of.
Soon after the game started, Bury dominated the field.
No. 16 minutes, Madison made a straight pass in the middle, Chen Ming obliquely inserted into the penalty area, and forced a shot from a small angle, but was bravely saved by Portuguese goalkeeper Anthony Lopez.
No. In the 203rd minute, Traore made a breakthrough on the right, and then made a cross. Antoine Hill in the penalty area overwhelmed the central defender and scored with a header. Unfortunately, the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.
No.305 minutes, Mbappe cut inside from the left, after passing the opponent's right back Christopher Yale, he shot decisively, the football was saved by Anthony Lopez, but Antoine in the penalty area · Hill made a smart follow-up shot and scored the goal!
Bury lead [-]-[-] away.
Throughout the first half, Bury almost completely suppressed Lyon and did not give the home team any chances.
However, Zhang Chong was obviously not satisfied with the score of [-]:[-]. He still asked the team to continue to attack during the intermission and strive to gain a large enough lead in the first round.
In the second half, Bury still adopted an offensive posture, still suppressing Lyon on the scene.
In 3 minutes, Bury even won a penalty.
Mbappe broke into the penalty area again on the left, and Yalai behind him had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull him down.
Mbappe personally took the penalty, but was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Lopez.
In this game, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of the Portuguese goalkeeper, Lyon is likely to be killed.
No.60 In the second minute, Chen Ming passed the midfielder Maxime Gonialons and sent a through pass. Antoine Hill started at the same time to form a single!
Facing goalkeeper Anthony Lopez, he chose a push from the far corner to help the team gain a two-to-zero lead!
This score made the home fans very desperate.
They originally had a little fantasy about this new Champions League team, but what they have shown so far in this game has made them lose this fantasy.
The strength gap is too obvious!
However, the Lyon players on the field did not give up, and they organized several counterattacks in the next game.
And in the No.804 minute of the game, they still got a goal back by Memphis Depay!
This is a ground-breaking long-range shot. The team's defense in front of the penalty area was a little lax, and he seized such an opportunity!
The score of the whole game was finally fixed at [-] to [-], and Bury won away.
Zhang Chong is very dissatisfied with the team's laxity at the last moment. If he faces a stronger team in the future, this laxity may bring more fatal consequences!
But this is also good, to give the players a wake-up call in advance, so that they can concentrate on the next game.
This is also the quality that a strong team must possess.
