Chapter 999: Successive Victories
After the European Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain disbanded on the spot, and the players went their separate ways to play for the national team.
Two weeks later, in the fifth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain welcomed Toulouse at home.
Because the first round of the Champions League group stage was to start in the middle of the week, Gao Han reserved his strength for this game and did not send all the main players, but still relied on two goals from Pastore and Drogba to beat Toulouse 2-0 at home.
Three days later, at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain welcomed the opponent of the first round of the Champions League group stage, the Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, which is also a tough character.
But at the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain used skillful ball control to firmly control the situation on the field.
In the 19th minute, Suarez scored the first goal for the host team.
Just eight minutes later, left winger Neymar received an assist from Marcelo and broke into the penalty area to score another goal for the host team.
In the 30th minute, Paris Saint-Germain got a corner kick opportunity, and David Luiz scored with a header, changing the score to 3-0.
After the second half, Yaya Toure scored a goal in the 53rd minute, expanding the score to 4-0.
After winning by a large margin, Paris Saint-Germain began to make substitutions. Gao Han replaced three players in a short period of time, including Rabiot, Mamadou Sakho and Lucas Moura.
In the 87th minute, Dynamo Kyiv scored a goal by Portuguese midfielder Verosso.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Dynamo Kyiv 4-1 at home.
In another game of this round, Porto defeated Dinamo Zagreb 0-2 away.
After playing the Champions League group match in the middle of the week, they will challenge Bastia away at the weekend.
This is the sixth round of the French Ligue 1. With Aubameyang's double goal, Neymar and Matuidi's goals, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bastia 4-0 away and won six consecutive victories.
But coincidentally, Marseille has also performed quite well this season, also winning six consecutive games, closely following Paris Saint-Germain.
Seven days later, the seventh round of the French Ligue 1.
Gao Han once again saved his strength for the Champions League group stage, winning 2-0 at home against Sochaux, continuing to lead the French Ligue 1 standings, while Marseille also won away and kept chasing, which made the upcoming league match in the eighth round particularly eye-catching.
In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Porto away.
The Portuguese Super League team is really a veteran black shop, with excellent negotiation skills for selling players and good ability to recruit players.
After selling Brazilian center forward Hulk at a high price, Porto introduced a Colombian center forward Jackson Martinez from nowhere. This player's forward line is also quite deterrent and his tactical effect is also very obvious.
Although it is at home, Porto still mainly defends against Paris Saint-Germain, but in the 74th minute, Paris Saint-Germain broke the goal. The goal was scored by Di Maria.
The Argentine midfielder scored a wonderful lore goal, which came from the continuous cooperation with Neymar and Suarez after the midfield interception. The whole process was dazzling and particularly impressive.
Although the game was won and the group stage ushered in two consecutive victories, Gao Han was not satisfied with the away game against Porto.
In the locker room after the game, he criticized the players in the team without naming them, believing that they lacked the determination to win in the game. At the same time, he also said that he did not rule out adjustments to the team's starting lineup.
Perhaps it was Gao Han's anger, or perhaps it was the players' deep reflection. Three days later, in the eighth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Marseille away to the top of the table. Paris Saint-Germain pressed Marseille to the half court from the beginning.
Only three minutes into the game, Neymar used a diagonal pass to accurately find Aubameyang.
The Gabonese international broke into the penalty area from the right rib, but was tripped by Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda when he attacked. The referee unceremoniously imposed a yellow card and penalty kick. Aubameyang took the penalty kick himself and scored, 1-0.
Marseille organized a tight defense afterwards, but Paris Saint-Germain firmly controlled the situation on the field.
Until the 34th minute, another goal from Aubameyang helped Paris Saint-Germain further expand the score.
After the second half, Marseille launched a counterattack, but in the 48th minute, Yaya Toure scored another goal for Paris Saint-Germain, and in the 72nd minute, Aubameyang received a long pass from Pirlo and scored the third goal of the game.
This is also Aubameyang's first hat trick after joining Paris Saint-Germain.
The game completely entered the rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain, and Marseille was powerless. It was not until the 87th minute that substitute striker Remy took advantage of the distraction of the Paris Saint-Germain defender and scored a goal to save face.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Marseille 4-1 away and won the top battle with an absolute advantage.
After this round of games, Paris Saint-Germain continued to lead the Ligue 1 standings, and the entire French football world was wailing.
Even Marseille could not stop Gao Han's team, which shows that the Ligue 1 champion this season will continue to be the forbidden fruit of Paris Saint-Germain.
After the eighth round, European football was suspended again and the national team match day arrived.
…………
…………
When Gao Han led Paris Saint-Germain to win the French Ligue 1, Chinatown's performance in La Liga and the Champions League was also shocking.
Two weeks of national team matches led to the suspension of the league, disrupting Chinatown's state.
In the fourth round of La Liga, Chinatown, ranked sixth, welcomed Zaragoza. On the one hand, it was distracted by the Champions League group match in the middle of the week, and on the other hand, Zaragoza was very tenacious, so Chinatown was unable to score a goal.
After the two sides stalemate for an hour, when Zaragoza's physical strength began to fail, Chinatown scored a header by Miranda, opening the record for the team.
Then Firmino, who started the game, scored a goal, and finally helped the team lock the score at 2-0.
But what really made Chinatown famous in European football was the first round of the Champions League group match in the middle of the week.
Zenit St. Petersburg spent a lot of money on signings this summer. The addition of Witsel and Hulk greatly improved Zenit's overall strength. However, Chinatown launched an unstoppable attack at the beginning of the first round of the Champions League between the two sides.
Just three minutes after the start, Isco scored the first goal for Chinatown.
In the 13th minute, Hazard scored another goal, expanding the score to 2-0.
Scoring two goals in a row at the beginning, coupled with Chinatown's firm control of the ball, made Zenit St. Petersburg somewhat difficult to resist.
The two sides were deadlocked in the second half. In the 76th minute, Isco scored again to further lock the victory.
3-0, Chinatown defeated the visiting Zenit St. Petersburg with Isco's double goal and won the first victory of the new season's Champions League.
Spanish teenager Isco also made everyone remember his name with this double goal.
Unfortunately, after returning to La Liga, Chinatown challenged Levante away. After Pelle scored a goal, Levante scored two goals in a row and finally lost 1-2, which was the second defeat of the season.
But a week later, in the sixth round of La Liga, Chinatown regrouped and welcomed Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao at home.
The master-disciple duel between Pochettino and Bielsa once again attracted the attention of fans all over the world. In this game, Chinatown also defeated Athletic Bilbao cleanly 2-0, with Griezmann and Hazard scoring goals.
Bielsa highly praised the players of Chinatown after the game, especially Hazard, and believed that the young French player had the potential to become a superstar and had unlimited future. At the same time, he also praised Rakitic, who played in the midfield, and believed that the Croatian was the key factor in Chinatown's victory.
After defeating Athletic Bilbao, Chinatown soon went to Milan, Italy, to challenge AC Milan away.
Allegri was ready at home, and Chinatown was determined to win. The two teams were evenly matched in the first half.
When the two sides were about to fall into a tough battle, Rakitic's long shot in the stoppage time penetrated AC Milan's goal and pushed the Italian giants into a desperate situation.
After the second half, AC Milan began to counterattack, while Chinatown responded with a steady counterattack attitude, and in the 56th and 64th minutes, Hazard and Rakitic scored two goals in a row through counterattacks, and finally broke AC Milan 3-0.
Allegri's team suffered a fatal defeat at home, which made the entire Italian football world wail, while Chinatown completely shocked the entire European football world.
Two consecutive rounds were 3-0, and Isco and Rakitic scored twice in succession, which made everyone shocked by Chinatown's strong strength and excellent talent reserves.
After all, this La Liga powerhouse just sent away four main players including Aubameyang and Herrera this summer.
And these two complete victories also allowed Chinatown to top the group, ahead of Arsenal, who had one win and one draw.
But after a hard battle with AC Milan for 90 minutes, they returned to La Liga and challenged Real Sociedad away in the seventh round, but were defeated 0-2 away. Chinatown performed relatively averagely throughout the game.
After seven rounds, Chinatown scored 12 points with four wins, three losses and no draws, ranking fourth in La Liga.
Before Chinatown are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who both have 19 points, six wins and one draw, and Malaga, who have four wins, two draws and one loss.
Mourinho's Real Madrid had a poor start this season, with three wins, two draws and two losses in seven rounds, and 11 points, ranking sixth in La Liga, which also caused Mourinho to suffer a crisis of confidence again.
As the team's performance gets better and better, the number of international players in the team is also increasing, and the influence of the national team is also increasing.
The two-week national team match also had a significant impact on Chinatown.
In the eighth round of La Liga, Chinatown welcomed Simeone's Atletico Madrid at home. After a hard battle of 90 minutes, Torres scored a goal in the last minute of stoppage time, helping Atletico Madrid to beat Chinatown 1-0.
Coincidentally, Barcelona also won a difficult 5-4 victory over Deportivo La Coruna in this round, and continued to lead the La Liga standings with Atletico Madrid.
Chinatown's ranking also plummeted, falling directly to eighth place in La Liga.
But in the Champions League group match three days later, Pochettino welcomed Arsenal at home. As a result, Chinatown won a narrow victory of 1-0 against Arsenal with De Bruyne's goal as a substitute in the second half, leading the group with three consecutive victories.
At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain also went to Croatia to challenge Dinamo Zagreb away.
The game was stable. Drogba and Neymar's goals helped Paris Saint-Germain win in the first half. The 68% ball possession rate allowed Paris Saint-Germain to completely control the overall situation.
But the performance of Dinamo Zagreb players in the second half surprised Gao Han.
