road to victory

Chapter 43
At the end of the first half, Bordeaux entered the intermission with a three-goal advantage.

Fan Shang made adjustments in the midfield. He hoped that the team would start defending in the second half.Fan Shang is an asshole, he wants to attack when everyone thinks he wants to defend, and now he wants to defend when everyone thinks he wants to attack.

As soon as the second half started, Vincent replaced Taolote with De Blassi, a defensive midfielder.Zidane is still left in front, and the three of Witzger and Dugarry do appropriate containment and counterattacks.

Metz's head coach Joel Muller adjusted the lineup in time at halftime after suffering a loss in the first half, replacing Ndiaye with a midfielder.But seeing that Fan Shang had also replaced his midfielder, Joel Muller's facial muscles kept twitching, and he scolded Fan Shang for being too cunning in his heart.

Looking at Joel Muller's expression, Fan Shang had a feeling in his heart, "It's not that the imperial army didn't work hard, it's just that Balu is too cunning".

Looking at the anxious situation of the two teams on the field, Fan Shang was quite satisfied.Both teams had chances, but none of them were good chances, so the score remained at 3:0.

In the 68th minute of the game, the only scene in the second half that shook Vincent's spirits appeared. Witzger was powerful in the counterattack. After training with 2 players, he passed the ball low to Dugarry in the middle.Dugarry shoveled the ball into the net in front of the shocked eyes of the audience.

After the goal, Dugarry jumped over the billboard to celebrate with the Bordeaux fans.

Allofs was the happiest after Dugarry scored a goal. Every time Dugarry shot a goal, Vincent would always look at him, making him almost ready to pack up and leave.Now that Dugari has scored a goal, he is also elated, raising his hands and shouting non-stop.

"Is this guy going to grab some points?" The first words in Fan Shang's mind were this, "I finally found my strengths..."

After a moment of silence, Jacques said, "Fan Shang, is what you said true?"

Vincent remembers that Germany won the European Cup in 96, the dark horse Czech Republic was the runner-up, and France lost to the Czech Republic after reaching the semi-finals.After losing to the dark horse, he will definitely be scolded after returning. Fan Shang still hopes that he will stay away from the European Cup this time.But in the 98 World Cup, France won the championship. With such thighs, Vincent wanted to go up and hug him.Just as Fan Shang was thinking about it, the phone rang.Fan Shang picked up the phone

"Goodbye"

Fan Shang looked at the phone, but didn't care.

"Then how did you decide?" Theo asked.
"I haven't made up my mind yet. I hope to focus my energy on the club." Vincent pondered what Theo meant.

"It doesn't matter. Bordeaux head coach, you continue to work. After the end of the season, you can report to the national team. You just need to participate in the European Cup with the team." Jacques simply solved Vincent's problem "I really appreciate your attitude towards defense. I hope you come to the national team to improve their defensive quality." Jacques solved Vincent's last question about why he was chosen.

"Fan Shang, your recent record is very good, I want to congratulate you." Yakai said loudly
"Thank you for your compliment, I don't know why you are looking for me..." Fan Shang still doesn't understand what Yakai asked him for, but Fan Shang is very grateful for Yakai's good words for Fan Shang in the media a while ago.

"I'm short of an assistant coach now, are you interested?" Jacquet said

"Louis, you heard about it so soon." Vincent said

"Fan Shang, I received a call from Aimee before. Our club supports Aimee's ideas. And your position as the head coach will not be changed. You just go to the national team to help Aimee during the truce. "Theo told Vincent what the club meant.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Patrick and Gernot, I believe you are more familiar with them." Vincent replied.

"Okay, Aimee, tell me, if I can do it, I will try my best." Fan Shang replied affirmatively.

"Goodbye"

The score of 4:0 was maintained until the end of the game. Bordeaux defeated Metz with four goals. The fans sang and shouted excitedly all the way home from the stadium.

"Okay, Aimee, you go and confirm first."

Fan Shang is also very satisfied with the team's performance today, not only the praise in the locker room after the game.At the press conference, Fan Shang kept talking to the reporters about how hard the players worked and how outstanding they were.

"Okay, but you still think about my suggestion for yourself, if you have any ideas, call me at any time." Jacquet said

"Hello, I'm Aimee Jacquet, who are you?" Vincent heard the voice and understood that it was Jacquet, the head coach of the French national team, looking for him.

Fan Shang was startled, isn't this a joke?I'm not going to be a good head coach, I ran to help you, but even if Jacques asked Fan Shang, it's not easy to refuse directly. "But, I'm the head coach of Bordeaux now?"

After returning home, Fan Shang took a shower, then found out the number and made a call.

"Fan Shang, I'm Theo, I heard that Aimee invited you to join his coaching staff?" It turned out to be Theo's call, and this guy is quite well informed.But what does he mean by calling, that he doesn't want me to go, and wants me to focus on the club?

"You can call me Aimee, and don't talk about you," Jacques said casually, "I need your help."

"Aimee, you have to know that I don't care about training at the club. The defensive training is mainly in charge of Gernot and Patrick. I am only responsible for the selection of tactics and personnel. In other words, I can only be the head coach. work, I don’t know how to do other jobs.” Fan Shang shirked for himself, but he also told the truth, he really doesn’t know how to lead the team to train, his task in training every day is to observe, and he can only do it in confrontation. Show your head.

"Hello, Mr. Jacques, I'm Fan Shang, the head coach of the Bordeaux team." Fan Shang said respectfully.

What is rhythm?Fan Shang was a little confused. "Louis, I don't understand. You mean that while I am the head coach in Bordeaux, I also serve as Aimee's assistant coach in the national team? And the club not only does not object, but is very supportive?"

On the other hand, Joel Muller only said that he was responsible for today's loss, so he stopped talking.

When Fan Shang walked out of the stadium, a staff member came over and gave Fan Shang a phone number, and just said, "This is a very important person, I hope to talk to you, you can call him later."

Fan Shang put down the phone, not knowing whether Yakai's invitation was good or bad.Fan Shang, as a person from the Celestial Dynasty, although he is a French citizen after crossing, he has no love for France.

"Yes, Vincent, that's what the club means. Aimee is our meritorious coach, and now it's for the country. Our club is very supportive." Theo explained, "You can think about it yourself if you agree, I'm just explaining the club's manner."

"I see, Louie, I'll think about it. Goodbye."

"Goodbye and good luck"

Fan Shang put down the phone again, his mind getting more and more confused.
