Chapter 57: Painting a Tiger Can't Be an Anti-Dog

The final between Bordeaux and Bayern Munich will also have two home and away games.Bordeaux was lucky, and got the order of first guest and then host. On May 5st, Bordeaux will be a guest at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. On May 1th, Bordeaux will meet Bayern Munich again at Recourt Park.

However, before May 5st, Bordeaux still has two league rounds against Lens and Nice.

Nice is a standard underdog, but the strength of Lens still makes Vincent a bit tricky.Since being promoted to Ligue 1992 in [-], Lens has always ranked in the top ten, and their best result was fifth last season, but this season they continue to be strong and continue to occupy the fifth position in the standings .

Although the results have been good for several consecutive seasons, none of the players has been selected for the French national team. This shows that the players in Lens are average in strength, and they mainly rely on the whole.For such an opponent, Fan Shang needs serious preparations.This kind of team that relies on the whole is the most troublesome for Fan Shang. It is not like the kind of team with one or several cores in the frontcourt. As long as the core is restricted, half of the opponent's combat effectiveness can be weakened.But relying on the overall team, if you restrict one, the other jumps out, restricts the two sides, and leaves the middle empty. The most fearful thing to deal with this kind of team is to lose sight of the other.

Fan Shang is now thinking hard about this game, "Care for this and lose that, focus on this and lose that, focus on this and lose that... By the way, focus on this and lose that!" Muttering, Fan Shang seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly stood up.

On April 4th, Bordeaux’s home stadium, Recourt Park Stadium, due to Bordeaux’s limelight in the UEFA Cup, the attendance rate of the league has also increased. It was almost the same as in the previous UEFA Cup, the atmosphere at home was quite warm.

Today Bordeaux still sent out the usual 541 formation, while Lens put more emphasis on the overall 442 formation.

As soon as the game started, Zidane and Weitzger cooperated continuously on the left. After tearing apart Lens' defense on the right, Weitzger made a cross from the left. Unfortunately, Bancarel was in the middle of the two. The defender failed to grab the ball under the attack.

This attack at the beginning showed Fan Shang's intention today.That day he kept muttering about taking care of one thing and losing sight of another, and then he suddenly thought, the other party wants me to pay attention to one thing and lose another, why can't I let the other party pay attention to one thing and lose another?
Fan Shang then thought of putting all the trump cards in his hand together. Aren’t the positions of Lance average in strength, just like Tian Ji’s horse racing, if I compare my high-grade horse with your middle-grade horse, it must be me win!
Then there was the scene on the field, Zidane and Witzger gathered on the left side of Lens, plus the left back Lizarazu, this is already the strongest offensive combination Vincent can come up with, now It depends on how this high-quality horse can fight off Lance's medium-sized horse.

1:0 Bordeaux leads Lens at home.

Borg didn't stay calm for a long time. In the 15th minute, Zidane and Witzger cooperated with each other on the left and passed the ball to Lizarazu who had already inserted the assist. Lizarazu passed the ball directly without stopping the ball In the middle, this time Bancarel grabbed the ball before the central defender. When the goalkeeper didn't react at all, the ball rubbed against the post and flew out of the baseline.

He followed Zidane like a shadow for the rest of the first half.However, Lens, a team that relies on the whole, has repeatedly suffered setbacks in offense because of the lack of a midfielder to connect the midfielder.

"What about your lower back!" Fan Shang secretly laughed.

Sure enough, the Lens midfielder on the field continued to hover around Zidane at first, but seeing his two central defenders were also around, he felt that it would be no problem for him to participate in the attack, but he thought it was the head coach If the task assigned is not completed well, you may have to sit on the bench in the future.Just when Lens' midfielder was struggling whether to advance or retreat, Zidane quickly retreated, got rid of the entanglement of that midfielder, received the ball in his own half, and then calmly began to organize a counterattack.Seeing this situation, Lance's midfielder made up his mind to follow Zidane closely.

Fan Shang walked to the sidelines and made a gesture of recovery.Then the Bordeaux players understood and quickly completed the formation of the iron barrel, and then left only one person in the frontcourt, not the striker Bancarel, but Zidane.

How could Lens head coach Borg, who had never studied Chinese in elementary school, know about Tian Ji's horse racing?He was surprised at first when he saw an attack at the beginning of the game, and then he was relieved. It was just a coincidence. How could Vincent put Zidane and Weitzger on the left side and leave the center alone.

In the 23rd minute, Zidane passed two people on the left and passed the ball to Weitzger, who had already cut inside. After receiving the ball, Witzger used his signature stunt, moved forward with the ball, and passed the ball after the ball The defender who jumped up raised his foot and shot. The ball was powerful and fast. Just as the goalkeeper made the move to catch the ball, the ball was already hanging on the net.

Bordeaux kept the 1:0 score until the end of the first half.

"Damn it, you're playing a rogue!" Fan Shang obviously only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allow the common people to light lamps. He looked at Borg contemptuously, "I want to play this trick with me."

After the start of the game again, Lens' head coach Borg made some adjustments. He let the midfielder follow Zidane closely. No matter what range Zidane moves in, there will always be Lens' midfielder at the position of two meters left behind. .

After scoring the goal, Witzger jumped onto Vincent's back without hesitation.Fan Shang was powerless to resist now, he could carry Weitzger around a few times, and then threw him on the ground.After he got up, he didn't forget to tell him a few words.

During the intermission, Vincent looked very calm in the lounge, and one goal was enough for Bordeaux to win the game.So now he is not in a hurry at all, and he also passed this calmness to the players, hoping that they will not be impatient in the second half.Moreover, Fan Shang estimated that the head coach of Lens would adjust. He would let Zidane's "bodyguard" participate in the attack, and then let the two central defenders beware of Zidane.So Vincent asked Zidane to return to the left, and tried to let him, Witzger and Lizarazu score another goal at the beginning of the second half while Lens was not stable, so that the game would be safe.

Fan Shang applauded the players on the field, hoping that the team will continue to work hard.

As Vincent expected, Lance's midfielder gave up Zidane's man-to-man defense and joined the attack.

At this time, Zidane, who had returned to the left, made a pass with Witzger again. The two, who were excellent in technique and consciousness, captured Lens' right defense within a few rounds.Then Zidane faced the central defender rushing towards him, and decisively passed it to Bancarel, who was already stuck in the middle.After receiving the ball with his back turned, Bancarel turned around and shot. He vented all the grievances he had accumulated for not playing in the last few games on this shot. The ball blasted into the goal like a fired shell.

2: 0 Bordeaux really opened shortly after the second half, taking advantage of Lens' unstable foothold to expand its lead.

This score was also maintained by Bordeaux until the end of the game.Bordeaux successfully scored three points at home.
