road to victory

Chapter 39 Blitz

Fan Shang first discussed with Battiston, and then went to U19 to take away Distin and Abidal. Distin is now 18 years old, and Abidal is only 16 years old. The two are excited. So I went to the training ground of the first team with Fan Shang.Of course, Fan Shang also encouraged the other three, saying that he hadn't forgotten them, and that he would definitely take them to the first team when the opportunity arises.Whether they believe it or not, Fan Shang believed it.

After the two arrived in the first team, they quickly integrated into the team.Especially Distin's excellent physical fitness is unmatched in the first team. Players in the first team are all lamenting Distin's good health. I don't know where Vincent dug the bull.

Fan Shang thought, "What will happen if you see Drogba and Lamotte again?"

Before the 29th round of the league, Bordeaux still has a French Cup match.Interestingly, the opponent happened to be Montpellier, but this time it was Bordeaux's home court.

Vincent's lineup for this game is still the usual practice in the French Cup, with five young players on the bench.Montpellier lined up with the same lineup as the previous league game.

Bordeaux is still defending the half, Montpellier is still attacking.This game was completely a replica of the previous game, and the final score was still 0:0.After entering overtime, Bordeaux's physical advantage was reflected, and the Montpellier players who played consecutive games were almost unable to run.

In the first half of extra time, Bordeaux had started to organize several effective attacks. Unfortunately, Sanuno's long-range shot and Drogba's header missed the goal frame.

Until the 113th minute of the second half, Bordeaux got a corner kick.After experiencing the power of Drogba's header several times, the two defenders began to pinch Drogba, and Distin, who entered the penalty area, was also taken care of by the Montpellier defenders.Compared with Drogba and Distin, Abidal was slightly thinner and was basically ignored by the defensive players.But Abidal, after receiving a corner kick from Sanuno at the back point, easily headed the ball into the goal.

1:0 Bordeaux took the lead with 7 minutes left in the game.After being scored by Bordeaux, Montpellier also launched an attack, but his physical fitness was close to exhaustion, and his movements had begun to deform, which did not cause trouble for Bordeaux.

Strasbourg is the traditional 442, the defense is led by Leboeuf, and the heavy responsibility of the midfield falls on the shoulders of Dacourt. The Russian tsar Mostovoi who scored in the last confrontation did not appear. Fan Shang was very surprised during the competition.The forwards are Keller and Jietu.

At this time, the whistle sounded for the start of the game. Bordeaux unexpectedly launched an attack after the kick-off. After the kick-off, Zidane passed the ball to Weitzger on the left. Weitzger accelerated with the ball and passed the opponent's goal The right midfielder, when facing the opponent's right back, gave the ball to Lizarazu who was plugging in. When Lizarazu got the ball, there were no defensive players in front of him. Lizarazu accelerated and rushed to the baseline.Strasbourg's defensive midfielder Dacourt is entangled with Zidane and has no time to manage Lizarazu, but central defender Leboeuf can only step forward to make up for it.Lizarazu was not in a hurry to make an action against Leboeuf who stepped forward, but saw Witzger pass the ball back to Witzger when he ran to the middle.At this time, Weitzger was in the defensive vacuum of Strasbourg. The central defender went to intercept Lizarazu, the midfielder stared at Zidane, and the right back was thrown behind by Weitzger.After Weitzger entered the penalty area, another central defender from Strasbourg who stepped forward to defend was also approaching. Weitzger took the lead before the defender arrived, and the ball stuck to the ground and scored the goal. near corner.

This shot also allowed Bordeaux to lock in the victory of the game. 2:0 Bordeaux successfully advanced to the next round of the French Cup.In the next round, Bordeaux will continue to host the Ligue 3 team Caen at home, and the winner will enter the semi-finals.However, seeing the date of the game, Vincent decisively gave up the French Cup, because March 19 is the UEFA Cup match between Bordeaux and AC Milan at home, while the French Cup will be played on the 17th.The two-day rest is too short for the players. Vincent has decided to send U19s to play against Caen, and the first team is fully prepared for the UEFA Cup in AC Milan.

No matter what Fan Shang thinks in his heart, during the game, Fan Shang still adopts his usual 451 formation.The two defensive midfielders who were suspended for the last game returned to the starting lineup, while the forward Vincent chose Dugarry.

Instead, Bordeaux scored another goal in the last minute of the game.Drogba received a direct pass from Sanuno, carried the opponent's defender into the penalty area, and then squeezed the opponent's defender away to gain a kicking space. Drogba did not hesitate, and pierced the opponent's goal with a heavy shot.

Fan Shang looked puzzledly at Strasbourg's head coach Dugperu, then at the Russian Tsar sitting on the bench, frowned, and then returned his gaze to the field.

This stalemate continued until the 30th minute of the game. Strasbourg's coach Dugperu may have realized his mistake in the formation and replaced Mostovoi.

In the 29th round of the league, Bordeaux will face the challenge of Strasbourg at home.The last time the two teams met, Vincent and *** had a conflict because of tactical issues, and Bordeaux also scored three goals in an away game and lost 0:3 to their opponents.Fan Shang felt that he had to win this game, to prove that he was better than ***, if he couldn't handle it, I, Fan Shang, could handle it.

1:0 Bordeaux took the lead in the opening minute.All the Bordeaux fans shouted crazily, they couldn't believe their eyes.Originally they were ready to watch a half-time offensive and defensive drill, but now Bordeaux took the lead and scored a goal with the first shot of the audience. How could they not be excited!
After taking the lead, Vincent did not let the team continue to attack. With a wave of his hand, Bordeaux began to set up an iron barrel formation again.Strasbourg, who had scored three goals in Bordeaux in the last confrontation, also felt helpless when facing the current Bordeaux iron barrel formation, especially without the Russian tsar Mostovoi.

In the 33rd minute, it was Mostovoi who had just played and passed a direct pass to Jietu on the edge of the penalty area.

In the 38th minute, it was Mostovoi again. After getting rid of Bordeaux's midfielder, he kicked and shot. The ball was slightly stronger and flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

In the 43rd minute, Mostovoi took a free kick and shot directly, and the ball hit the side net.

Playing less than 15 minutes, the Russian tsar has created several troubles for Bordeaux.Fan Shang, who was originally sitting calmly on the coach's bench, couldn't sit still anymore.He walked to the sidelines, called Dudir loudly, whispered a few words to him, and returned to the coaching bench.
