i am a football star

Chapter 11 Assist
What Blanco did was let Liu Ting play on the right, Chamark switched to the center, Berlyon was on the left, and the rest was to strengthen the breakthrough. Bordeaux's foot skills are much better than Metz's. In short, try to score goals.

It was Liu Ting's first game, and he was a little excited.

"We can see that the Chinese kid is wearing the No. 25 jersey, but the name on the jersey is NEW. According to the information we got, his surname should be LIU. This should not be a mistake. It should be changed by the Chinese kid himself. NEW means new and brand new. I hope this kid can bring us something new." Baptiste was talking about some situations on the field.

The letters on the back of the player’s name can be changed freely. For example, the names behind the jerseys of Brazilians Kaka and Pepe are their own nicknames. Of course, you must first figure out the meaning of the changed letters. When Kaka first arrived in AC Milan, he changed his name to Caca, which means poop in Italian. Just knew they couldn't win the game.After that, Kaka changed the name behind the jersey to Kaka.

Liu Ting called the club's equipment administrator to change it to NEW. The pronunciation of this letter is closer to Liu Ting's surname, so that people don't have to be called Lao every time. Now people in the club call Liu Ting's name much more pleasantly.At the same time, Liu Ting also used this NEW to represent that he is a brand new self.

Metz kicked off the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Metz's midfielder Miralem Pjanic took the ball. Liu Ting went to defend and was easily passed by the opponent as soon as he stretched his foot to steal the ball.

"It seems that our 'newcomer' is not fully ready yet, and he took a shot at Mawei as soon as he came on stage." Baptiste laughed at Liu Ting without hesitation.

Liu Ting himself smiled wryly. As a striker, he doesn't have high requirements for defense, so it doesn't matter if he is directly passed by.If it's a defender who hastily stretched out his foot and was passed by, the coach on the sidelines may have already yelled.

If the forward stretches his feet more in defense, he may directly counterattack after successfully stealing the ball. The disadvantage is that he is easy to be passed by.The defender's defense requires more to be stuck in the position, not to let the opponent pass by easily, to steal the ball at the right time, and to be decisive once the ball is grabbed and stretched.

Pjanic, who has passed Liu Ting, is not unknown. Now he is only 17 years old and already the main midfielder of Metz. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a well-known talented midfielder. He will transfer to Serie A Roma and Juventus in the future. He is a famous top midfielder in Serie A.

Metz's offense was not too threatening, and his soft shot was confiscated by Bordeaux goalkeeper Lame.

Lame threw the ball to the right back Charme, and Charme took the ball forward, but Metz returned to the defense very quickly, and there was no chance of a quick counterattack.Charme passed to Liu Ting. Liu Ting dribbled the ball past Metz's Algerian midfielder Agyazi and made a cross directly, but Chamark failed to grab the point.

"In the duel between the youngest players on the field, it seems that the Chinese boy did not fall too far. In terms of fame, Pjanic is much bigger. He is a well-known talented star in Ligue 17. Now he is only [-] years old. He has already played the main force in Metz. Although the Chinese boy was born in La Masia, he is not well-known as a player who was abandoned by Barcelona, ​​but his performance just now is remarkable. Blanco should replace him earlier." Baptiste explained the changes on the field just now.

After Liu Ting played, Bordeaux's offense improved significantly. Liu Ting's flexibility is unique in Ligue [-], but he has not yet fully adapted.

The head coach Blanco on the sidelines also regretted not replacing Liu Ting earlier, otherwise the score might have been rewritten long ago. Now that there is not much time, I don't know if he can win this game.

The game soon reached the 86th minute, and Bordeaux began to feel a little anxious. If they didn't score any more goals, they could only get a draw. This was something the whole Bordeaux team didn't want to see.

Bordeaux intercepted the ball from the backcourt and quickly passed it to the frontcourt again. After Berlion got the ball, he took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Metz central defender Diop blocked the ball with his body, and the ball bounced to Liu Ting on the right.

Liu Ting took the ball and swiped into the penalty area. Liu Ting used his flexibility to sway left and right to pass Metz's Senegalese midfielder Sheikh Gay. The ball accelerated in a small range and threw away the defender Jeff Strasser who wanted to defend. At this time, Liu Ting heard: "Pass the ball, here".It should be Chamark's call, but Liu Ting doesn't intend to pass it. Chamark is strictly guarded in the penalty area, and the possibility of passing him to waste is greater than the possibility of scoring.

After two people in a row, Metz's back line began to shake and become unstable. Immediately, two defenders came towards Liu Ting. The one who rushed in front was Diop. Liu Ting reacted quickly, turning around and pulling the ball with both feet.

"Marseille gyration!!! The Chinese boy is so flexible on the court, he passed three defenders in a row." Baptiste was surprised by Liu Ting's [-] consecutive defenses just now, and now Liu Ting made another Marseille gyration, which directly made him yell loudly. French people have special feelings for Marseille gyrations.

After Marseille circled Diop, Liu Ting was not in a good position to shoot, but his goal had been achieved. Most of Metz’s defense was attracted by him. Liu Ting kicked back to the penalty area.

"Goal!!!! The Chinese kid made a breakthrough and returned the pass. Diarra was not soft on his feet. Bordeaux finally scored a goal. NEW!! He is really NEW, bringing us something new, and Ligue [-] has fresh blood." Baptiste's long draw resounded through every Bordeaux fan's home, and the Bordeaux fans cheered and celebrated the goal.

After the ball was scored, Diarra rushed towards Liu Ting, pointed at Liu Ting as he ran, jumped to hug him after running close, and shouted in his mouth: "Nice job, boy, I knew you would succeed."

Soon, the whole Bordeaux team rushed over to celebrate with Liu Ting and Diarra. Liu Ting could only smile silly and let his teammates touch his head.

Blanco and Gasset on the sidelines were also hugging and cheering. Blanco said while cheering, "I knew that kid could do it. I've always been optimistic about him."

As if he wasn't the one who put Liu Ting on the bench in the previous games, Blanco would not admit that Liu Ting was not used before.In fact, Blanco just wanted to be more on the safe side. After all, it was his first time coaching a team, so he couldn't just use newcomers and put experienced players on the bench.

Bordeaux celebrated until the referee came to remind them that the celebration time was too long before returning to their own half. At this time, the time had reached the 90th minute, and there was not much time left for the Metz team.

Blanc also used the last substitution in the remaining time to delay the time. Metz fans had no choice but to boo Bordeaux loudly. Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Bordeaux beat Metz 1-0, and Liu Ting also received his first assist in Ligue [-].

In the post-match press conference, Blanco didn't take Liu Ting with him. He wanted to protect Liu Ting from too much interference from the media. However, the media would not let go of this interesting game and reported the game one after another.

The Bordeaux local newspaper "Bordeaux Sport" praised Liu Ting for his outstanding performance in this game: "Last night in a Ligue 8 match, Bordeaux challenged Metz away. Give up, Blanco finally signed him for free, he only took the team's lowest salary, but this game is worth his annual salary."

The large French media "French Football" also reported Liu Ting, "Bordeaux new star comes off the bench but shines in the audience".

After this game, only three days later, the seventh round of Ligue 7 came.There will be the European Cup next year, so the European leagues will end earlier this season. France and the Premier League have two domestic cups, so the schedule is tight, and double matches a week is common.

The good news is that after this game, Kavinaji's injury is almost healed, and he started training with the team.

Bordeaux's opponent in this round is Monaco. Liu Ting grew up in Monaco and still has a certain affection for Monaco. This year, he asked his agent to contact Monaco and wanted to return to Monaco to play for him. Unfortunately, the head coach of Monaco didn't like him at all.

The head coach of Monaco is actually the head coach of Bordeaux last season. The Brazilian Ricardo Gomez coached Bordeaux for two seasons. In the first season, he led Bordeaux to the runner-up in Ligue 32. However, in the second year, he only finished sixth in the league.

The media is also hyping Gomez's revenge battle. Gomez has the opportunity to avenge his dismissal last season, but Liu Ting scoffed. He has no impression of Ricardo Gomez at all, which means that this person probably didn't make any achievements in Europe.

France has "L'Equipe" and other media that are more reliable in Europe, but there are also many media that like to dig gossip. The day before the game, some media dug up the fact that Liu Ting asked his agent to contact Monaco this summer. He wanted to return to Monaco but was rejected by Gomez.

"According to the news we got from insiders, in fact Liu Ting has always been a diehard Monaco fan. After being abandoned by Barcelona in the summer, he wanted to return to his hometown Monaco to play, but the newly appointed head coach Ricardo Gomez directly rejected him. This made him very sad. I believe he will use his own strength to prove how bad Gomez's vision is in this game."

Liu Ting looked at the newspaper reports with a wry smile. This was about to catch up with the grievances of the Qing palace.Although he has a good impression of Monaco, he is not loyal to him. It is natural that he can go to Monaco. If he cannot go, he will not be enmity.

Liu Ting, the 'wronged', didn't say anything, but Gomez said in an interview: "I don't think it was a mistake not to sign him. Our team already has many good players, and we don't need those players who have been given up. The current standings can prove everything."

Monaco is currently at No. 2 in the standings, and Bordeaux is at No. 5. It is true that Monaco has the better results. It seems that what Gomez said is right, but Liu Ting is unhappy and is underestimated. This feeling is very bad.
