Chapter 31 Perfect ending
An instant conceded goal in the opening game, Bordeaux was indeed a bit of a moron. An angry Blanco hopped on the sidelines and demanded to stabilize. Marseille will definitely continue to take advantage of this good opportunity to attack aggressively.

Liu Ting was also a little confused on the court. It was the first time he encountered such a thing of giving away a head at the beginning of the game. However, seeing Blanco on the sidelines, Liu Ting became more sober. What he wanted at this time was to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of this opportunity to score again.

When returning to defense once, Liu Ting took the opportunity to shout to his teammates: "Hey, guys, we must stabilize now, and we can't be attacked by the Marseilles again. Our goal is the league championship. Now is the time to close the gap with Lyon. Now that the score is within two games, we will have a great chance to catch up in the second half of the season."

This round of the match between Bordeaux and Marseille is the last match. Lyon and Nice have reached a 0-0 draw at home. If Bordeaux wins this game, they can narrow the gap by 2 points, and the score gap with Lyon is only 4 points. The possibility of catching up next time will greatly increase.

Maybe it was Liu Ting's words that had a certain effect, maybe it was the Marseille striker's lack of grasping ability, and although Bordeaux was a little bit embarrassed in the next 20 minutes, they didn't get scored again.

In the 6th minute, Cisse shot slightly wide of the penalty area.

In the 11th minute, Marseille took a corner kick and was hit by the Albanian midfielder Cana on the crossbar. When Cana headed the ball, he had physical contact with Pranus and fell in the penalty area after the header.

"Penalty kick! Foul, this is a penalty kick!" The Marseille team immediately asked the referee for a penalty kick.

"Dive! Red card!" The whole Bordeaux team was not to be outdone, accusing the opponent of flopping one after another, and the excited Pranus directly made a diving move and fell to the ground.

The head coaches of both sides on the sidelines also yelled for penalty kicks and flopped to support their players. In the end, the referee believed that there was no foul and did not call flops.

The slow motion shows that the two did have physical contact, but I don't know if there was any foul action, but Carner's fall is definitely exaggerated.

In the 17th minute, Liu Ting quickly counterattacked with the ball and passed the Marseille defender Taiwo in the midfield. It was not until the front of the opponent's penalty area that the Nigerian midfielder Aurumara brought him down.

After this period of time, Bordeaux also began to recover, threatening the opponent's goal more and more.

Marseille started to attack the midfield with all their strength. Bordeaux's three midfielders were really stretched for a while. Diarra was the best midfielder in Bordeaux and was absent from the game. Liu Ting saw the situation in the midfield and realized that he might need to go back to the midfield to get the ball more.

"After more than 20 minutes, Bordeaux has recovered, and the scene has begun to attack and defend each other."

"Bordeaux had another very threatening attack just now. Kavinaghi's shot hit the post and bounced off the bottom line. Now Marseille goalkeeper Mandara took the goal kick and the ball hit the midfield. Marseille midfielder Sherou received the ball and cooperated with Nasri to hit the wall. It was almost in front of the penalty area. Oh? Long shot? Gooooal!!!

Liu Ting felt that Marseille was really lucky today. A sneak attack succeeded in the opening game. Bordeaux just recovered their morale and wanted to counterattack.

Now 0:2 behind, the Bordeaux fans in the stands couldn't believe it. Marseille's two goals were very weird.

Liu Ting felt that Bordeaux would be demoralized if things went on like this. He also found his striker partners Carvinaghi and Bellion, and said to them: "Later, I will make more crosses from the wing. Fernando, pay attention to the first landing point, and David, you are hovering around the second landing point."

Fernando Cavinaghi grabs the header at the first point, David Berlion at the second point has a chance and does not necessarily have to head the ball, and there are more shots with his feet at the second point.

This is also impossible. At this time, we must score goals as soon as possible to boost morale. This kind of wide cross is the most direct and fast. Although luck will be very important in this case, it is better than long-range luck.

In addition, Liu Ting discovered in the game just now that the opponent's defense against high balls is not particularly good.

※※※

"Bordeaux has begun to play more side-to-side coordination. In fact, Bordeaux should be more suitable for playing with the ball at the foot and breaking through the middle. However, it is not a bad idea to change to a different style of play now that the situation on the court is not good."

"Liu Ting broke through again from the left and made a cross with his left foot. Liu's left foot was also very flexible, Berlion!!! Oh, Berlion got the ball at the second point. Unfortunately, it was a half-high ball. He stopped the ball and adjusted it before hitting. The Marseille defender reacted quickly and blocked the ball out of the baseline."

"Liu took the ball again. Liu was the most active person on the field during this time. Marseille's left was about to be blown away by him. Pull the ball! Spike the ball! Pass the opponent's defender Fati again, cut inside, cross the middle, Kavinagi!!! There is it! The goal is scored!! Kavinagi scored with a header and Bordeaux pulled back a goal. There is still a lot of suspense in the game."

In the 35th minute, Kavinaji received a pass from Liu Ting and scored with a header. Bordeaux recovered a goal, 1:2.

This style of play had achieved results, so Liu Ting continued.

In the 39th minute, Liu Ting hit the goal after cutting inside the front court. The Marseille goalkeeper couldn't react in time, but the ball rubbed against the goal post and hit the side net.

Blanco on the sidelines thought he had scored a goal, and was about to cheer, only to find that the referee hadn't scored a goal and gave a penalty, so he sighed a pity.

In the 42nd minute, Liu Ting changed to the right to break through and pass. Kavinaji was pulled down in the penalty area, but the referee did not call a foul, which made the Bordeaux fans boo the referee.

"The first half was coming to an end, and Bordeaux still failed to tie the score. It was Bordeaux's attack again, this time in the middle. Micoud made a through pass to Cavinaghi, and Cavinaghi knocked back to Liu who followed up. Liu hit the goal directly!!! It was a bit positive. The Marseille goalkeeper dragged the ball over the crossbar, and Bordeaux won a corner kick."

"Micoud took a corner kick, great opportunity! Kavinagi headed the ball!! It was blocked by the goalkeeper, Berlyon!! Goooal!!! Berlyon's smart follow-up shot succeeded, and Bordeaux equalized the score at the last moment of the first half."

In stoppage time in the first half, Bellian's supplementary shot helped Bordeaux rewrite the score to 2:2.

At halftime, Blanco had only one request, to win this game, because the next round will be the contest between Lyon, who is the leader of the list, and Nancy, who is the second. No matter who wins, Bordeaux can catch up. The premise is that Bordeaux wins this game.

This is Liu Ting's first season, and he also wants to give his first half of the season a perfect ending.

"The second half of the game started. Marseille replaced Cisse at the beginning of the second half. There was only one striker left on the field. It seems that it is better to be conservative and get one point away. Now Marseille's formation has changed to 451." Baptiste is making guesses about Marseille's substitutions.

However, Liu Ting felt on the field that Marseille, with five midfielders, was more aggressive towards the midfielder. After all, there was an extra midfielder. Unknowingly, Liu Ting found that he had to retreat to help the team control the midfielder, playing more like a midfielder.

Liu Ting's retreat stabilized Bordeaux's midfield, but Liu Ting reduced the number of strikers, and Marseille's defense was much easier.

"During this period, Liu Ting appeared more in the midfield to help the team stabilize the midfield, so that the offensive threats of both sides were reduced. It seemed that the two sides would maintain the score in the first half to the end." Baptiste said this in the 73rd minute of the game.

On the sidelines, Bordeaux's assistant coach Gasset is anxious about the team's situation. It is the best for Bordeaux to win this game, so that the team can be in a more favorable position for the championship.

"Laurent, don't you want to make a substitution? You can replace Berlyon and replace him with a midfielder. This will liberate Liu and our offense will be more threatening." Gasset said anxiously.

"No, I want to see that kid's understanding."

"What comprehension?"

"A top free agent in the frontcourt doesn't just need to swap left and right on the field, but needs to adapt to any position in the frontcourt. Messi and Ronaldo are both midfielders. Knowing when to return to the midfield and when to go up to attack is the talent of a top free agent."

Gasset had no choice but to let the team continue to entangle with Marseille.

Liu Ting really felt that staying away from the opponent's goal on the field reduced his damage to the opponent a lot, but if he went up to the front line, he would be overwhelmed by the midfielder.
Time passed quickly, and it was already the 85th minute of the game, and the score still remained unchanged.

However, after going back and forth during this period of time, Liu Ting gradually discovered that he can move with the ball. When the football reaches the front line, he also goes up to participate in the attack.

This may be a good way, but it needs more time when the ball is within your control, that is, you need more possession of the ball, and it requires more physical strength.

So Liu Ting started running up and down.
