i am a football star

Chapter 55

Liu Jianhong said: "Dear viewers and friends, the live broadcast for you now is Bordeaux's home game against Russian team Zenit St. Petersburg in the first round of the 07/08 UEFA Cup quarter-final. The three midfielders are Denisov, Tymoshchuk and Ziryanov, and the three forwards are Domingos, Pogrebnyak and Arshavin."

In fact, besides Arshavin, Timoschuk and Dominguez are all powerful players in the Zenit team. The team's center Pogrebniak is also capable. He currently has 7 goals in the Europa League and is tied for the top scorer in the Europa League with Bayern striker Luca Toni's 7 goals. The old Swedish demon Larsson, but the teams of these three people have been eliminated, and the number of goals cannot continue to increase, but Liu Ting still has a chance to score.

"Okay, the two sides have already entered the field. Liu Ting is now the well-deserved star of Bordeaux. He is the most important person in the team and the player who scored the most goals in the Bordeaux team. Liu Ting received the most cheers when he entered the field. There are two Korean players in Zenit's team. One is defensive midfielder Li Hao and the other is left back Jin Dongjin. I think Chinese fans and friends have an impression of both of them. The stadium played against the Korean National Olympics, both of them were starters, and in the end the Chinese National Olympic Games lost 04:0 to the Korean National Olympic Games. In this game, Jin Dongjin shined with one pass and one shot."

"Later, the two joined Zenit St. Petersburg in the Russian Super League with Advocaat, the head coach of the South Korean national team in the 06 World Cup. Kim Dong-jin was Zenit's main left-back last season. This season, because of Hill's joining, Kim Dong-jin has been reduced to a rotation, and he can only share the opportunity to play with Hill."

Now Park Ji-sung is playing well at Manchester United, many Korean reporters are in Europe, and many Korean reporters came to the game. Before the game, Liu Ting was also interviewed by Korean reporters for a few words, casually perfunctory. Now the European media thinks that Bordeaux is much stronger, and the Koreans are not arrogant enough to think that their Obasmecta can directly lead the team to defeat Bordeaux.

Liu Ting had always been worried that Bordeaux would underestimate their opponents and suffer losses. But after the start of the game, Liu Ting realized that everyone was very defensive, because the whole Bordeaux team had a psychological advantage and Zenit also considered itself a weak side. Just like Zenit’s winning the Europa League in history was considered a miracle, Zenit did not think that there would be such a chance.

Bordeaux suppressed Zenit St. Petersburg at the beginning, but Liu Ting knew that this situation would not last long. Once Zenit stabilized its formation and counterattacked, Bordeaux might be confused by Zenit's strength.

"Bordeaux played relatively openly at the beginning and seemed to be full of confidence. Let's take a look at the ball first, Zenit's offense, Dominguez passed to Arshavin, Arshavin picked a pass to Pogrebnyak, and hit the goal!! Pogrebnyak didn't hit hard, and the ball was confiscated by Lame."

"Good chance, this is a quick counterattack from Bordeaux!! Lame throws the ball to Giulieti, Giulieti! Big foot pass to the frontcourt!! Liu Ting is very fast, oops! Giulieti's pass is a bit big, Tymoshchuk runs past, Liu Ting!! He is accelerating!! Good ball, Liu Ting received the ball first!! Oops! Timoshchuk's interference is big, oh? To attack decisively or recklessly."

After Liu Ting received the ball under the interference of Tymoshchuk, the ball went too big. Zenit goalkeeper Malafev rushed out decisively and tackled the ball out of the sideline. On the sideline parallel to the left side of the penalty area line, Bordeaux got a sideline ball.

Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper being so bold, Liu Ting suddenly thought of a good way.

"Liu Ting came to the sideline to serve the ball, this is a good opportunity!! Zenit's goalkeeper rushed out to tackle the ball and it is still on the sideline. As long as someone in Bordeaux throws the ball from the sideline to catch the ball, Bordeaux can hit the empty goal. There is no one in Bordeaux. It is a waste of a good opportunity!! Malafef also realized the problem and was getting up to run into the goal, oh? Ting’s ball quotient is too high! No one helped Liu Ting catch the ball from the sideline, he threw it directly and hit the back of Zenit goalkeeper Malafev who had just run back, Liu Ting immediately entered the field to catch the ball and hang the goal. This is a very clever goal.”

In the 8th minute, Liu Ting took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper to attack recklessly, and cleverly kicked a sideline ball into the field to hang an empty goal. Bordeaux led Zenit St. Petersburg 1:0.

According to the rules of the court, the person who threw the sideline ball must be touched by someone before it can touch the ball again. Otherwise, it is a violation, but the person who touches the ball first can be either his own player or the opponent's player. Liu Ting thought of this way at the time.

Liu Ting’s approach caught everyone’s surprise. He was able to take a sideline kick in this way. When the referee blew the whistle to confirm the goal, the Shabang Dell Polo Stadium immediately boiled. No one thought that there would be such a goal. This is definitely an unexpected goal.

Liu Ting was celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines, while Malafef looked at the ball in the goal and wanted to cry. When he attacked, he saw clearly that only Liu Ting was in the Zenit half in Bordeaux. As long as he went out and tackled the ball out of the baseline before Liu Ting caught the ball, the ball would not be a threat. His attack was decisive rather than reckless.This ball is still his own goal assist for Liu Ting, and now the hat buckle of the reckless attack has not escaped.

It's like this on the court. Heroes are judged by success or failure. If they succeed, they are right, and if they fail, they are wrong.

Seeing the celebration and cheers of the whole Bordeaux team, the entire Zenit St. Petersburg team was stunned by this ball. How could someone break into the goal like this?It was a little difficult for everyone to accept for a while.

Zenit St. Petersburg was stunned, Bordeaux would not be polite to him, wave after wave of offensives came.

"Berlyon, rushed in!! Hit the goal!! A low shot missed the baseline."

In the 13th minute, Bellian's low shot missed the bottom line.

"Micoud's through ball, Kavinaji took the ball and crossed it to Liu Ting, Liu Ting! Hit the goal!! Oops, it hit the side net."

In the 19th minute, Liu Ting's shot hit the side net.

"Bordeau's offensive came again, Diarra passed to Berlyon, Berlyon broke through and was blocked by Hill, Liu Ting!! Berlyon passed through the crotch to Liu Ting, Liu Ting dribbled the ball to the middle, Tymoshchuk and Krizhanak came to defend him, good ball!! Liu Ting's heel knocked back to Berlyon, Berlyon!! Hit the goal!! The ball went in!! Great goal, Liu Ting's assist, he was as flexible as an elf, and Bordeaux expanded its lead."

In the 21st minute, Liu Ting assisted Berlion to score, and Bordeaux led Zenit St. Petersburg 2:0.

This goal lowered the morale of Zenit. Although they saw the media reports that Zenit was not as strong as Bordeaux, they somewhat believed it, but most of them still felt that even if Zenit was weaker than Bordeaux, it was not as exaggerated as the media said. They played better and had the strength to beat Bordeaux. Now that they conceded two goals in a short period of time, they began to wonder if it was really much worse than Bordeaux?
Zenit head coach Dick Advocaat was yelling anxiously on the sidelines, but the audience was filled with cheers from Bordeaux fans, and Advocaat's roar could not be heard very far. Seeing Bordeaux's second goal, Advocaat sat directly on a chair and waited for the midfield to adjust.

"Bordeaux made a fantastic start and took a 2-0 lead in a short period of time, but it seems that Bordeaux does not intend to stop. On the scene, Bordeaux is still playing against Zenit."

"It's Bordeaux's attack again. Giulieti dribbled the ball from the side and made a cross from the left!! Liu Ting! He unloaded the ball lightly with his right foot in the penalty area and turned around to hit the goal!! Foul!! Tymoshchuk fouled Liu Ting. He tripped Liu Ting. What would the referee do? Penalty!! A yellow card was given to Tymoshchuk. In fact, the red card for a foul in the penalty area is not an exaggeration, but the referee may consider that Zenit was already two goals behind and was awarded a penalty kick, not the death penalty." Liu Jianhong was speaking for Bordeaux again.

"Kavinaghi took the penalty kick. In fact, Liu Ting's shooting skills are also very good, but Kavinaghi is the team's first penalty shooter. The referee whistled to indicate that Kavinaghi can take a penalty kick. Kavinaghi! Run up! Hit the goal!! The ball has been scored!!! Malafev bet on the right direction but still did not touch the ball. Bordeaux once again expanded its lead."

In the 35th minute, Liu Ting made a penalty kick and Cavinaghi scored the goal. Bordeaux led Zenit St. Petersburg 3:0.
