Chapter 79 The Super Bowl Arrives

After Wagner's explanation, Liu Tingcai knew that Bordeaux became the first French team to win the UEFA Europa League. Trio also hoped that Bordeaux would become the first French team to win the UEFA Super Cup.

The UEFA Super Cup used to be played between the Champions League and the Cup Winners' Cup. When the Cup Winners' Cup was abolished in 2000, it became a competition for the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

The French team has only won the Champions League and the Cup Winners Cup once. The match-fixing case broke out in the year Marseille won the Champions Cup. Marseille was deprived of the qualifications to participate in the European Super Cup and the Toyota Cup (the predecessor of the Club World Cup) in the second year.

So far no French side has ever won the UEFA Super Cup and Trio wants to make Bordeaux the first.

98年之前欧洲超级杯都是主客两回合制，96年的欧洲超级杯是法国球队仅有的一次参加欧洲超级杯，大巴黎却主场1:6客场1:3总比分2:9惨败斑马军团尤文图斯。

This is really a painful memory for the French team.

Trio just wants Liu Ting to lead Bordeaux to participate in a Super Cup, and it is best to win the championship, which will increase Bordeaux's prestige and reputation.

Liu Tingyi thought that it would be no problem to go back to Bordeaux for pre-match training, and he could maintain his state before the transfer was completed. However, the European Super Cup will not be held until August 8, and there is still more than half a month to go, so we need to think about it.

In the next few days, Liu Ting first went to the Wolfart Orthopedic Center in Munich, Germany for an examination. There was basically no problem, and then went to Bordeaux to participate in training and preparations.

Back to Bordeaux, the Bordeaux team has not changed much.

Micoud retired, and the whole team celebrated him at the end of last season.

Anyone who has watched the Bordeaux game knows that Liu Ting, the team that won the double crown last season, is the team's thigh, so Liu Ting's worth has been fired relatively high, but not many other players asked about the price.

Bordeaux's striker has not changed much, but Blanco introduced three midfielders in one go, all French players, in view of the weak midfield in Bordeaux last season.

Among the three new midfielders, only John Gourcuff is more famous. Gourcuff became famous in Rennes in Ligue 06 in his early years. In the summer of [-], he was introduced by AC Milan as a substitute for Kaka. However, he did not perform well in Italy.

Speaking of which, Gourcuff also has the nickname of Zidane II. Bordeaux may have benefited from Zidane. Later Zidane II Micoud also brought the team a Ligue [-] championship.

"Hello, Laurent!!"

"Long time no see, Arau!"

……

Liu Ting went to say hello to his familiar teammates one by one. Everyone was a little surprised that Liu Ting came back. Liu Ting is now so hot that he is being scrambled by the big giants. Everyone thought that if they met again, they would already meet as enemies on the court.

Blanc, as the head coach, came out to explain at this time: "Liu has not been transferred yet, he is a Bordeaux player. Come back and train with us. At least he is still a Bordeaux player before the UEFA Super Cup."

Yes, Liu Ting has already agreed to stay and finish the Super Cup before leaving. He finally won the UEFA Cup. He has to fight this Super Cup. The Super Cup is still held in Monaco every year. It is definitely a homecoming.

Everyone also understands that Liu Ting just wants to stay and participate in the Super Bowl before leaving, especially the forward players can rest assured that if Liu Ting stays, no one can compete with him for a position.

Liu Ting returned to Bordeaux for training, and European transfers continued.

Liu Ting knew from Wagner that Manchester United's Ferguson and Barcelona's assistant coach Vilanova both wanted to meet and discuss with Liu Ting, but Liu Ting let Wagner refuse all of them, and Wagner would handle other contacts such as Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Liu Ting had no intention of transferring to these clubs in the first place, and it would be easy to hurt feelings if they met directly. No matter how the manager's negotiation collapsed, it was the manager's fault, and Liu Ting would not be directly blamed.

The broker took the money, which was his responsibility.

In mid-August, the Premier League and Ligue 8 will start first among the five major leagues, and the European transfer market will also begin to draw to a close.

Ronaldinho moved to AC Milan after participating in the Olympic Games. Manchester City also felt that Liu Ting seemed not interested in them. Robinho's agent was easier to deal with, and began to chase Robinho madly.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also negotiated about the transfer of Berbatov, and Manchester United has focused on Berbatov.

The Olympic football is over, the Argentine Olympic team led by Messi won the championship, and the Brazilian Olympic team led by Ronaldinho was eliminated by the Argentine Olympic team in the semi-finals.

中国国奥小组赛1:1战平新西兰国奥，0:2输给比利时国奥，0:3输给巴西国奥，1平2负结束了奥运会之旅。

In the 0:2 loss to Belgium, the Chinese Olympic team couldn't play and hurt people on the field. Zheng Zhi elbowed the opponent, Tan Wangsongfei kicked the opponent, and the two were sent off with red cards.

The British media also reported about Zheng Zhi, saying that the Chinese introduced by Liverpool was a bad guy on the pitch. After the domestic media found out, many fans went to the Football Association to ask the Football Association to let Zheng Zhi come back and not go to Liverpool to make a fool of himself.

In short, Chinese football is so stinky.

At the start of the Ligue 2 match, Liu Ting hadn't left yet. He came off the bench in the first two rounds and scored [-] goals to help Bordeaux start with one win and one tie.

With the arrival of the European Super Cup, Liu Ting's transfer is finally completed. Liu Ting will transfer to Liverpool at a price of 3650 million euros, about 2800 million pounds. The terms in the contract indicate that he will officially transfer after the European Super Cup.

In fact, during this period of time, Liu Ting's agent Wagner has been saying that Liu Ting is more interested in Liverpool. Everyone thinks that they are just discussing the issue of transfer fees. No one knows that the official transfer will wait until after the European Super Cup.

8月29日，法甲已经进行了3轮，波尔多2胜1平。

The Premier League also played 2 rounds, with Manchester United winning 1 and drawing 1.

It was supposed to be the fourth round of Ligue 4 and the third round of the Premier League, but both teams postponed this round of the league and led the team to Monaco for the UEFA Super Cup.

※※※

Coming out of the small airport in Monaco, there were many Bordeaux fans, some of them were local Monaco fans, who came to welcome Liu Ting.

Liu Ting was very happy that the Monaco fans came to greet him and went to the side to sign a few autographs.

Carried out routine training to adapt to the venue, just met the Manchester United team who arrived.

The current Manchester United is out due to Ronaldo's ankle surgery. The first two rounds of the league and the Community Shield this season have not performed very well.

Ronaldo's absence has a great impact on Manchester United. Ferguson has no energy to prepare for the European Super Cup. He has to concentrate on preparing for the Premier League.

This is also the reason why Liu Ting is willing to stay temporarily. He remembers that Manchester United lost to Zenit St. Petersburg in the unintentional Super Cup. Now that Bordeaux is the UEFA Cup champion, it is natural for Bordeaux to play against Manchester United.

A Manchester United team that is going all out with a complete lineup, Liu Ting feels that this Bordeaux team will find it difficult to beat him no matter how hard he tries, and a Manchester United team that has no intention of going all out to fight, Liu Ting has full confidence in defeating the opponent.

When the stadium was getting used to training, a South Korean reporter came again: "Mr. Liu, do you think Bordeaux is capable of competing with Manchester United for the European Super Cup?"

There were two Koreans in the Zenit St. Petersburg team eliminated by Bordeaux last season, but the Koreans also knew that Bordeaux was stronger at the time, so they didn't make any big reports.

Now that Bordeaux is facing Manchester United, all fools know that Manchester United is much stronger, and there is Park Ji-sung in the Manchester United team. Although Park Ji-sung did not enter the 18-man list in the Champions League final last year, he was also the first Asian to win the Champions League gold medal.

Now the Koreans have published the report "Park Ji-sung will avenge Kim Dong-jin and Lee Ho", which sounds like Bordeaux is doomed.

Liu Ting said: "Football is not basketball. The stronger always wins. Bordeaux can stand on the Louis II Stadium and have a chance to beat the opponent."

At 19:45 in the evening, the European Super Cup kicked off at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

When the two teams played, Liu Ting saw Manchester United's red-nosed godfather Ferguson.

Ferguson walked over to Liu Ting and said, "Liu, why are you not interested in Manchester United's invitation?"

Liu Ting replied: "Sir, Manchester United is a great team, but I have the same great team to go."

"Is it Barcelona?" Now only Liverpool and Barcelona are still saying in front of the media that Liu Ting will come to their clubs, and other clubs chasing Liu Ting have ceased fire after Liu Ting did not respond.

"You will find out tonight."

Liu Ting thinks: Actually Ferguson is a respectable old man, but once he goes to Liverpool, the two will be sworn enemies.

Even a respectable opponent is still an opponent.

Tonight is the time to beat him for the first time! ! !

The match was broadcast in France by Adrian Baptiste.

Baptiste said: "When I just came out of the player tunnel, Manchester United coach Ferguson seemed to be talking to Liu. Could it be that Manchester United has not given up on the plan to introduce Liu? At present, only Barcelona and Liverpool are still working hard to introduce Liu. The others have given up."

"The starters of both sides have already come out. Bordeaux is still 433 last season. It's just that Gourcuff, who came back from AC Milan, replaced the retired veteran Micoud. Judging from the performance of the first two games, Gourcuff has done well. This season may lead Bordeaux to achieve good results."

"Manchester United's starting lineup is also the 442 formation commonly used last season, but Cristiano Ronaldo is still recovering from his injuries, and Fletcher took his place. Manchester United's goalkeeper is the veteran van der Sar, the back four is Gary Neville, Fernand, Vidic and Evra, the four midfielders are Fletcher, Scholes, Anderson and Nani, and the two forwards are Rooney and Carlos Tevez."
