Chapter 61 Is this wave planning ahead or being a prophet?
With the winter transfer window open, Lille fans are trembling.
Rumors about Hao Qiang's transfer bombard their nerves every day.
The most fatal thing is that the contract renewal between Lille and Hao Qiang did not go smoothly.
With Lille's financial resources, it would be very difficult to lock Hao Qiang for a long time.
It’s not that Mendes is so greedy.
But Hao Qiang's performance was too unexpected.
In half a season, his efficiency has reached the ceiling of Ligue 1. In order to retain him, Mendes believes that Lille must take risks and renew his contract with a salary that exceeds the maximum salary in Ligue 1.
In the future, Lille will have the nerve to earn high profits from Hao Qiang's transfer.
If you just want to renew your contract at a low cost, you can make a lot of money in the future.
No one is stupid.
As an agent, Mendes would not agree in the first place, otherwise it would be betraying Hao Qiang's interests.
During the winter break, Hao Qiang's days in Lille were as orderly as possible.
He is inseparable from Noemi Harpart every day, training during the day and having romantic dates at night.
Maintaining good condition, when he returned to the team at the end of the winter break, he looked almost physically the same as he had during the winter break.
Lille has started preparations for the second half of the league.
Rudy Garcia doesn't care that Hao Qiang didn't renew his contract.
Some things are beyond his control, so he won't bother himself.
There is no need for him to urge the club to renew Hao Qiang's contract. Van Damme has done his best to actively promote the contract renewal.
But there is a big difference in the asking price with Mendes.
He could also vaguely sense that Mendes had high expectations for Hao Qiang.
Perhaps when I brought Hao Qiang to Lille half a year ago, I hoped that Hao Qiang could be cultivated and develop steadily in Lille.
But Hao Qiang grew up too fast.
From a lucky boy to a mainstay of the team, it only took four months.
Now Mendes has naturally changed his attitude towards Lille.
Think of it as a springboard for Hao Qiang to land on a bigger stage.
Before the start of the second half of the league, the first is the French League Cup.
Lille plays Rennes at home.
Hao Qiang was not included in the match squad and was concentrating on preparing for the upcoming game against Paris Saint-Germain.
Lille was training, and a group of substitutes and rotation players were paired with sporadic main players to start a battle with Rennes, who also did not try their best.
The game was open and close, but the offensive quality of the two teams was unbearable.
It took overtime for the two teams to decide the winner.
Lille eliminated Rennes 3:1 and advanced to the next round.
But Rudy Garcia didn't look good.
Because Balmont is injured!
There were not many main players, but Bartmon, who was supporting the young players, was injured and retired!
I will miss some games in the future.
January 16th.
The second half of the French Ligue 1 season officially begins.
Lille faced the challenge of Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Morois.
Lille has a hostile relationship with Paris Saint-Germain due to historical reasons.
In fact, Paris is located in the royal capital, which has unique advantages in terms of economy, culture and other historical reasons. It has a hostile relationship with many teams, such as Marseille, Lyon, etc.
Most of the capital teams are like this, and they are the target of public criticism.
But now Paris Saint-Germain is in a state of decline, like a dog in the water.
It's just that Lille suffered a disastrous defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in the first half, which naturally made Lille fans feel resentful and resentful!
The Moroi Stadium was packed.
Hao Qiang was full of fighting spirit when he appeared on the stage.
His goal in the second half of the league is simple, win the championship and win the Golden Boot!
Others, it doesn't matter.
Lille started today with 433.
Goalkeeper: Landero.
Defenders: Debuchy, Rami, Beria, Emerson.
Midfielder: Dumont, Cabaye, Mavuba.
Forward: Obraniak, Hao Qiang, Hazard.
Since Gervinho and other players are going to participate in the African Cup of Nations, Lille's recent lineup has been relatively stretched.
It has also been a valuable opportunity for some players.
Paris Saint-Germain started 442.
Goalkeeper: Eder.
Defenders: Ceara, Traore, Sakho, Armand.
Midfielder: Jalai, Makelele, Clement, Chantôme.
Forwards: Luyindula, Eldin.
As the game whistle blew, the two teams started fighting.
Paris Saint-Germain's performance in the away game was relatively conservative.
Lille's strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they have to avoid the edge for a while.
Hao Qiang used a forward ordinary card at the beginning to improve his status.
Because Makelele is a bit difficult to deal with.
He was not able to defeat the opponent, but Makelele was very experienced, and his interception of the ball after quickly adjusting his position was both decisive and accurate.
He was like a young warrior who met an old master. He might not have been beaten down and had no ability to fight back, but he couldn't help but admire him after seeing his unique skills.
Hao Qiang then actively moved to give Hazard the ball, and then he rushed into the penalty area to grab the ball.
Hazard took a long shot and also sent a good quality cross to Hao Qiang, but Hao Qiang deflected the ball under the interference of the strong Traore.
He turned back and gave Azar a thumbs up.
In the 14th minute of the game, Obraniak also sent a cross from the right. Hao Qiang actively responded and stopped the ball. He quickly caught up with the football and passed the ball to the back of the penalty area in front of the baseline.
The Paris Saint-Germain back line was caught off guard.
Hazard ran to the back point and hit the football with a flying tackle, but failed to shoot the ball on target.
The football hit the goal side netting.
Azar stood up and shook his head, but when he looked at Hao Qiang, he still raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.
Although Lille's offense is not as silky and smooth as before.
But with Cabaye in the midfield, the strikers can still get a steady stream of opportunities.
It can only be said that without Balmonte, their midfielder has not only weakened the tacit understanding of cooperation, but also lacked some unexpected impact of interspersed running.
In the 21st minute of the game, Cabaye received a pass from Hazard in the frontcourt. Just as he was about to change direction, he was collided by Clement.
After falling to the ground, I held my ankle and didn't stand up again for a while.
Hao Qiang came to ask about his situation.
Kabaye cursed with a look of pain on his face: "It's sprained, you are riding a horse! I feel like they are playing dirty tricks, but there is no evidence!"
Paris Saint-Germain was in a passive situation, so the pressing and confrontation were naturally much more ferocious.
Makelele was still able to sweep away the ball when he was at his peak, but now he is completely holding back and only making key interceptions.
Rudy Garcia looked ugly.
Without Balmont in the midfield, Cabaye can't hold on now!
In an instant, Lille's midfield was in disarray.
Brutally dismembered!
He had to bring Obraniak back to play as an attacking midfielder, and then replaced him with forward Flo.
Flo can hit from both sides and can barely make do on the right wing.
Obraniak's performance after withdrawing was somewhat disastrous.
He has not played as a point midfielder in the past half season, and he seems at a loss.
Lille's forwards were gradually unable to get the ball, and most of the time they were fighting for the ball.
Offensive coordination is completely out of the question.
Lille fans beat their chests in anger!
"Balmonte is injured, Cabaye is injured, our midfielder is completely finished!"
"It's not just the midfielder. Didn't you notice that Ceju went to play in the African Cup of Nations, Beria played as a central defender, Emerson played as a left back, and Hazard received less and less support on the wing?"
"Oh, go to the African Cup of Nations! Gervinho, Aubameyang, Ceju, we suddenly lost so many important players!"
"The offensive organization is paralyzed, and the side impact is not strong enough. No matter how strong Hao Qiang and Hazard are, they still have to be able to get the ball!"
Dumont and Mavuba are both defensive midfielders and cannot be expected to contribute much to the offensive organization.
Obragnak's disastrous performance in the attacking midfielder position tilted the game towards Paris Saint-Germain.
When Lille became more and more impatient, Paris Saint-Germain, who was steadily counterattacking, seized the opportunity to penetrate the right wing. Luyindula assisted Elding to score Lille's goal!
The Lille fans' mentality suddenly exploded.
Rudy Garcia obviously couldn't suppress his emotions. He tried hard to restrain himself and stay calm, but the corners of his eyes were twitching unnaturally!
Paris Saint-Germain players celebrated wildly at the Stade Morois.
Lille fans are filled with hatred.
Could it be that as the leader, they are going to be double-killed by the down-and-out Paris Saint-Germain?
Azar sighed.
No matter how awesome he is, what will happen if his teammates can't deliver the ball smoothly to his feet?
Kick the air?
Controlling the ball with your mind?
Although Hao Qiang was also frowning, a strange emotion arose in his heart.
He thought of the five flaming cards lying quietly in the system warehouse.
During the winter break, the wave of three and ten draws in a row was a precautionary measure?
Or is the system unpredictable?
Lille's midfield is leaderless.
Now we need a midfield organizer to support the team's backbone and control the overall situation, otherwise it will be difficult for Lille to achieve anything at home.
