Soccer: If they're using these kinds of cheats, what's the point of training?

That evening, in an apartment in Paris, Marina Durand, a female reporter for France 1's football channel, used the guise of discussing work to vent her personal desires and brazenly defrauded Chinese players.

So, in order to teach this French con woman a lesson, Zhang Kuang subjected her to hours of whipping.

Under Zhang's harsh reprimands, Marina finally realized her mistake, so she used the compromise of "let's not talk about work" to cover up the embarrassment of her exhaustion and falling asleep.

Sigh, what a hypocritical little French woman.

Okay, let's go find the girls in the French study group. That's where we can have a blast, let loose, and even get some benefits.

then……

January 31st, Ligue 1 Round 22.

Auxerre will play away against Saint-Étienne.

Saint-Étienne is a traditional powerhouse in Ligue 1, having won the title ten times, and is one of the most successful clubs in French football history.

Although their performance this season has been mediocre, currently ranking only seventh in the standings, the prestige of the club is undeniable – all 35,000 seats at the Kean Gérard Stadium are sold out, and the home fans have long been prepared with a giant TIFO and a sky full of green smoke.

The locker room before the game.

Fernandez closed the door, his expression more serious than usual.

"I'll announce today's lineup again."

He finished reading the list, and everyone was waiting for him to read Zhang Kuang's name.

"Forward - Number 33, Arrogant."

Zhang Kuang nodded without saying anything more.

Fernandez looked at him, remained silent for two seconds, and then said something that surprised everyone.

"Zhang, it's true that you led the scoring of four goals in the last game. But I'm going to be upfront about this today—if you don't score in this game, you'll be on the bench next game."

There was a moment of silence in the locker room.

Pedretti frowned, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Two people stood between Grihidin and Zhang Kuang; he glanced at Zhang Kuang, trying to glean something from his expression.

Olić sat in the corner, his hand tying his shoelaces pausing for a moment.

Everyone knows that Fernandez was just saying it out of anger—how could a striker who scored three goals and provided one assist in a single game be benched just because he didn't score in one game?

But his tone didn't sound like he was joking.

"Did you understand?" Fernandez asked again.

Zhang Kuang raised his head and met his gaze.

"I understand."

"Alright. Go on stage."

---

The competition began at 4 PM.

In the away stands of the Kean-Gérard Stadium, approximately three thousand Auxerre fans were using their own methods to counter the roar of the 35,000 home team fans.

They waved white flags and sang the team's anthem, though their voices were almost completely drowned out by the boos from the home fans.

They are now more confident than fans of any team in Ligue 1 because they have a Chinese striker who scores in every game, and in many.

So, Auxerre fans waved flags and sang songs with lyrics that included the arrogant name.

I didn't pay attention to what exactly he was singing, but he was very happy.

TF1's two commentators have already started broadcasting live. Jean-Christophe Barthes and Christophe Dugarry are TF1's Ligue 1 commentators, and they also commentated on the previous Auxerre matches, and it's the same this time.

Jean-Christophe Barthes is a famous commentator on France 1, while Christophe Dugarry is a French football legend. As a forward for the French national team, he won the 1998 World Cup, the 2000 European Championship, and the 2001 Confederations Cup with his teammates, and was a legendary star during the peak of French football.

After retiring in 2005, he began working as a football commentator and consultant on France 1.

Therefore, he is very professional and renowned.

"Dugarry, how many goals do you think Zhang can score today?" Batistuta asked Dugarry.

Dugarry: "Oh, that's hard to predict because the players' ability is one factor in scoring goals, but defensive strategy is another important factor."

In the previous matches, people were not familiar with Zhang Yimou, so they were somewhat negligent in their defensive strategies. Moreover, Saint-Étienne is not a weak team, so I believe Saint-Étienne will have a corresponding strategy.

How many goals Zhang can score depends on whether he can break through Saint-Étienne's defensive strategy; this is crucial.

"Hmm, I understand. A true top striker is one who can break through different defensive strategies. Without this ability, a striker will be hampered by the opponent."

"You're right, Bart. Besides, I heard a rumor that this Chinese Zhang doesn't have a very good private life. I heard that last week he attended a joint party for artists and athletes, and then he took four beautiful women with him."

"Huh? Four, four beautiful women? All at once? Can he handle it?"

"It is said that the four beauties couldn't get out of bed the next day, but he went to the team training on time as if nothing had happened. Then a few days later, he scored three goals and provided one assist in the French Cup match against Sedan, showing great form."

"Wow, if that's the case, then this Zhang Meng from China is incredibly strong! He can take on four beauties and still dominate the competition! Ladies watching on TV, if you're interested, now's the time to act!"

"Alright, the match is about to begin, everyone. Next up..."

Meanwhile, in China, the CCTV-5 broadcast of the match still featured Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang.

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers, we are now broadcasting the 22nd round of the French Ligue 1 match, a game between Auxerre and Saint-Étienne..."

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

The TV director was very good at giving shots, because he knew that 14 billion Chinese viewers were watching the game, so he gave Zhang Kuang no less than ten shots in a minute.

There are shots from all angles, and the angles are captured exceptionally well. After all, the French are quite accomplished in art. The candid shots are incredibly cool and stylish. Even with his body hair showing, he's still perfectly handsome.

"Wow, this Chinese guy hooked up with four beautiful girls in one night? That's so cool!"

"Does anyone have his contact information? I want to find out how long he's been working."

"Ha, a man who can seduce four beauties in one night, you're probably no match for him. Want to team up?"

"OK!"

"..."

His arrogance on the field had no idea that his embarrassing moments had been broadcast by the TV commentators, and now many viewers knew about them.

But it doesn't matter if it gets out, playing with women isn't important, what's important is scoring goals... And sure enough, after being closely marked by Saint-Étienne's defenders for about ten minutes, the ball came!
