road to victory

Chapter 603 End
When the media asked Vincent why he chose Liverpool, would Vincent tell them that it was because of the exciting Champions League final?Certainly not, what comes out of Fan Shang's mouth is the yearning for great players of the Liverpool team, such as Shankly.

Of course, this time Fan Shang is different from other signings. This time, Fan Shang has brought his own assistants, and finally he no longer has to single-handedly find celebrities.

In this era when capital has just entered the Premier League, Fan Shang's arrival undoubtedly poured a lot of fuel on the small flame of the Premier League, making some capital that originally wanted to enter the Premier League begin to prepare to enter in advance.

For example, a week after the news of Vincent's signing with Liverpool, a mysterious Thai consortium acquired the former Premier League powerhouse Manchester City Club, which is still in League One.

According to informed media reports, this time the Thai side sent to manage the club is a young woman from Thailand.

For the news of these low-level leagues, Fan Shang just glanced at it, and could only say that his little butterfly team still caused some small waves.

"I wipe it, but there is still no way to change it!" Fan Shang stood on the sidelines with a dejected expression.

This is May 2005, 5. The place is in Istanbul, Turkey. The game is the final of the Champions League. The two sides of the game are Liverpool and AC Milan. Now it is the 25th minute of the first half. Crespo scored for AC Milan. For the third goal of the game, the score displayed on the big screen is 44:3, AC Milan is the three, and Liverpool is the 0.

Although Liverpool has not achieved a complete victory on all fronts this year, it has gone smoothly. Vincent has established a total attack and total defense strategy with Gerrard as the core. Useful.

Before this final, Vincent had already led Liverpool to win three championships, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Premier League championship, and the remaining Champions League champion team is also determined to win.

After Fan Shang recalled the game in his previous life several times, and made very detailed arrangements, Liverpool was still poked three holes by AC Milan in the first half, and returned to the dressing room with a three-goal disadvantage. room.

After making some arrangements under the guidance of memory, although Fan Shang was full of confidence, he still didn't dare to take the situation on the field lightly.

Compared with the serious atmosphere on Liverpool's side, AC Milan's dressing room is completely two scenes.

If Vincent was here, he would certainly have let his hands down, because Shevchenko very conveniently opened the champagne during the intermission.

When Vincent was coaching Shevchenko, he reminded him several times that the game is not over until 90 minutes are over. Football is round, and you can never know what will happen in the next minute.

Shevchenko never really listened to Fan Shang's teachings. Back then, she just bowed her head and put on a show, but now she doesn't remember it at all.

One person drove the atmosphere of the entire AC Milan, making them feel ashamed not to win this championship.

But less than 10 minutes into the second half, AC Milan began to suffer the consequences. In the 54th minute, Gerrard, the pillar of Liverpool, rewritten the score to 1:3 by relying on a clever header to hang the goal.

It's a pity that this goal did not make AC Milan more vigilant. After 3 minutes, Figo's long-range shot rewritten the score again, 2:3.

But this is not over yet. Before AC Milan could react, Kewell was tripped in the penalty area in the 60th minute and Liverpool got a penalty.

This time Vincent stood on the sidelines and personally arranged for Drogba to take a penalty kick. This was the first time in Drogba's career that he took a penalty kick in a 90-minute game.

3:3, Drogba's penalty easily crossed the goal line.

This penalty kick was completely unexpected. Who would have thought that Drogba, who is based on strength, would actually play a spoon penalty kick. As long as the people who are watching, except Fan Shang, no one will believe Drogba. Black and Hard actually kicked such a shot.

In the rest of the time, although Vincent continued to direct Liverpool to charge forward, he still did not change the 3:3 score.

In the end, it was still necessary to use a penalty kick to decide the winner. Vincent sent Drogba first, which made Dida burst into tears. He didn't dare to move, and finally let Drogba hit it with a half-high ball. own goal.

In the following games, Dida completely collapsed and was pierced by Liverpool four times in a row, while Cech blocked AC Milan's penalty twice in front of the goal.

4:2, with a total score of 7:5, Liverpool won the Champions League by relying on a shocking reversal.

After winning the championship again, Vincent left the club again, but this time it was not because of the club's executives intervening in Vincent's transfer, but because of the French national team.

When Vincent just decided to renew his contract with Liverpool and abuse Mourinho, Wenger, Ferguson and others in England.

A few guests from France made Vincent change his mind. They are all people who can make French football shake a few times. The old and new football association presidents, Simonet and Le Graet, Vincent Jacquet, the famous mentor, Michel Platini, former French national team coach Le Maire, it is not easy to get these people together.

And they found Fan Shang only for one thing, that is, they hoped that Fan Shang could be the head coach of the French national team and lead the team to the 06 World Cup. This is not talking about the World Cup champion, but to stand out from the European qualifiers first.

Because Domenech, who is currently sitting as the head coach of the national team, has brought the former world champion to the No.3 group in the qualifiers, and is getting farther and farther away from the World Cup.

With this lineup, what else can Fan Shang say? To put it bluntly, the few people sitting together now basically represent French football. Indeed, the current French national team is already dying. Although under the impetus of Fan Shang, The French team is not out of reach, but it is an indisputable fact that Domenech will not use these young players. A team that can hit the World Cup is just being led by Domenech.

As soon as Vincent took office, he recruited several old international players who had previously announced their withdrawal from the national team. Zidane and Thuram returned to the national team.

Then, in the World Cup qualifiers, he stepped on the two teams that were in front of him, Switzerland and Ireland, and Vincent easily brought France back on track.

"Go, you are the core of France in the future!" Vincent patted Sanuno on the shoulder and said to him from the sidelines.

This is the final of the 2006 World Cup. The game has gone on to the 105th minute, and the score is still 1:1. Neither France nor Italy can beat their opponents.

And Vincent, based on the principle of foresight, at this time, replaced Zidane with Sanuno created by himself. One is to avoid Zidane's red card, but to give everyone a new and old French replacement. Signal, Sanuno is the core of the French national team after Zidane.

Zidane was a little dissatisfied when he left the field, but Vincent just pointed at Materazzi and then at Zidane. Zidane, who was just about to lose his temper, stopped talking and honestly made it to the bench superior.

Sanuno is not as delicate as Zidane, but after being promoted by Vincent, he is now a midfielder who can be counted on one hand in the world. He has been partnering with Zidane in the previous games. One front and one back in the midfield, but in the final final, Fan Shang deliberately kept a hand.

Playing this time is the first time that Sanuno has really played as the core of France, and it is the final of the World Cup. The most important thing is overtime, and it is the second half of overtime. Such a critical moment makes him really It is Yali Shanda.

But seeing Vincent standing on the sideline with a determined face, Sanuno gritted his teeth and accelerated the speed of his feet.

Of course, Vincent still has a backup player. In the 107th minute, Vincent replaced Sagnol with Lamotte. This is also a savage cultivated by Vincent. Before this guy, he had zero foundation except his body, but these years In the past, this reckless man has become a full-back who can go up and down. If it weren't for another recklessness, Vincent would definitely put Sagnol on the bench.

Lamotte did not disappoint Vincent. In the 112th minute, an acceleration and a reasonable collision made Grosso, one of the great Italian left-backs, lie on the ground, while he was firmly in the middle for Trey. Zeguet delivered a comfortable header.

It's just that Trezeguet didn't seize the opportunity and flew the ball on top.

In the 115th minute, Ramot once again hit Grosso on the right, but this time he no longer trusted Trezeguet, but gave a low ball to his Bordeaux teammate Sanuno.This time, before Sanuno could catch the ball, he was pushed to the ground by Totti, who returned from the frontcourt.

This was a free kick from France. Sanuno and Ramot stood in front of the ball at this time. Both of their free throws were accurate, but their styles were very different. Sanuno is obviously technical, similar to the small Juninho, and Lamotte is a right-footed Roberto Carlos.

This time it was La Motte who took the penalty. This is what Fan Shang meant. Fan Shang is such a person. He felt that if a strong shot was blocked, Italy might suffer a loss of staff, so Fan Shang chose this kind of shot. .

Lamotte's heavy artillery didn't hit anyone, but flew directly to Buffon. Even if Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world, it is impossible to catch the ball directly. He can only hit the ball with both fists. .

Sanuno got the ball from outside the penalty area and then lobbed it in again, and it was Trezeguet who pushed the ball over the baseline.

Sure enough, a penalty shootout was inevitable, but Vincent decisively removed the name Trezeguet from the penalty kick list.

Sleepy, Italy's first free throw, easily fooled Barthez, and La Motte sent by Vincent also kept Buffon from moving.

The Italian player who made the second free throw was Materazzi. He also steadily sent the ball into the goal behind Barthez, and Wiltord, who played in France, did not give Buffon any chance.

Barthez's ability to save penalty kicks is really not very good. De Rossi, the third player in Italy, hit a half-high ball and Barthez failed to save it.

Abidal, who played third in France, also completely deceived Buffon by virtue of a sudden change of direction.

Del Piero, who was fourth in Italy, did not miss a penalty, and Ribery, who was fourth in France, also completed his task.

All eyes were on the final round of penalties.

The first player to play was Totti, the core midfielder of Italy's current game. He almost ruined Italy at the last moment, so he wanted to score this penalty, but when the ball left his feet, Totti knew it was bad Yes, it is obvious that the part of the ball is not right, and the fact is the same, the ball flew!
Totti covered his face in annoyance and walked back to the middle circle. Opposite him was Barthez's ecstatic look. If Vincent didn't have other talents available, he would never have put this bald head in France. in front of the team.

The last French player to play was Sanuno. His goal was basically the one that decided the World Cup. He won the championship when he scored in France, but he lost it, huh?Fortunately, if the penalty is missed, just continue the game.

But Sanuno doesn't think so. He is the one who wants to lead the French national team to move forward. He can't fall here. He will use this penalty kick to bring this team a world championship.

Exhale, run-up, shoot, the movements are coherent, and the direction of the ball flying out is obviously opposite to the direction of Buffon's save.Sanuno just glanced at the direction of the ball, then Sanuno turned around and raised his hands to welcome the blessings of his teammates.

6:5, France won the game with only one goal advantage, and also won the World Cup.

Vincent became the first and only head coach of a Super Grand Slam in the world, winning the Champions League, Europa League, European Cup, World Cup and five major leagues. This achievement is unique.

"I can't move it!" Fan Shang, with white hair, sat down on the seat at this time.

What made him so tired?Today is November of 2049. Fan Shang finally led Da Tianchao past the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup. After 2002, Da Tianchao finally stood on the stage of the World Cup again. It has been expanded to 64 teams...
