road to victory

Chapter 86 European Champions Cup

Fan Shang was walking in Clairefontaine with his luggage, and after a while he saw Jacquet who came out to meet him, so Fan Shang walked a few steps and rushed to Jacquet.

"Fan Shang, you are finally here." Yakai said first

"I'm sorry, Aimee, my club's affairs are too urgent, and I have been delayed for a few days. But now I will devote myself to the work here. What do you need me for?" Fan Shang first apologized, and then patted his chest to pack ticket.

"Okay, Fan Shang, let's rest for the night first, and get to know the players and colleagues tomorrow morning." Jacquet thought about it again, "Let's go tonight, let's watch the final of this year's European Champions Cup together."

"Oh, I'm so busy that I even forgot such a big thing!" Fan Shang patted his forehead. He has been busy with the transfer these days, so this kind of irrelevant matter has long been forgotten. "Aimee, why didn't you go to the scene? I remember that the Juventus team has our captain!"

"Didier doesn't need to be observed. His state and competitive level are very stable." Jacquet trusted Deschamps. "Let's take a good look at the performance of the Italian and Dutch players tonight."

The two walked into the dormitory building of the training base while talking.It is said to be a building, but it is not. It is some very old villas redecorated. The interior is relatively advanced, but the appearance completely retains the simple style.

It was almost evening when Fan Shang arrived, so Fan Shang found the room and tidied up casually, then had dinner with Yakai.During the period, Jacquet introduced several of Vincent's colleagues, the most famous of which was Roger Lemerre, who will succeed Jacquet in the future and bring France the European Championship.However, this man is a temporary worker like Fan Shang, and he is the coach of Lens. He only joined his coaching staff at the invitation of Jacques.

After the meal, a group of people came to the meeting room to watch the final of the European Champions Cup. The two sides were Juventus of Italy and Ajax of the Netherlands. The venue of the match was the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy.

After Fan Shang finished speaking, he lowered his head and sat on the seat like an old monk in meditation. He didn't watch TV, but just listened, waiting for the start of the game.Yakai looked at Fan Shang for a while, then shook his head with a smile, while some of the others were watching TV as if they had nothing to do with themselves, and some of them were discussing something in a low voice. After hearing Fan Shang's answer, he hummed twice, then looked at Fan Shang contemptuously, and continued to watch the game with disdain.

Juventus' first free throw player Ferrara easily hit the ball into the right of Van der Sar's goal.

Ajax's starting XI is: Goalkeeper van der Sar, defence, Blind, Frank de Boer, Sloy, Bogarde, midfielder, Davies, Ronald de Boer, Lima Turning, Striker, Musampa, Finidi George, Kanu.

With a score of 90:1 in 1 minutes, the two teams entered overtime.The overtime game was exactly the same as the last few 10 minutes. Both sides came and went, but in the end they all fell short.There were 30 minutes in the first and second half of extra time, and the two teams scored a goalless draw. After 120 minutes of the game, the two teams drew 1:1, and the two teams were about to have a brutal penalty shootout.

In the second half, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but Ajax shot significantly more than Juventus.

"Fan Shang, which team do you think will win today?" Jacques asked Fan Shang who was sitting last.

"Fan Shang, what do you think?" Jacques asked again
"Penalty shootouts are always [-]-[-], but Ajax may be more impetuous, so I think Juventus has a higher winning rate."

"Very good, Fan Shang, let us see your forecast." Jacques nodded in satisfaction.

Now Fan Shang finally understands what Jacques means, he wants to show something of himself so that other coaches can recognize him. "I think Ajax was too relaxed in this game. They performed well in the second half, but people relax too much. It takes time to get tense, so I think Ajax should recover in the second half. One goal, but there is a great possibility that this game will go to overtime, even if it goes to the final penalty shootout, it is not impossible."

As Fan Shang stabbed the fat little man in his heart, the final match was about to begin.

Except for Le Fatty, the rest of the people looked at Fan Shang kindly.And Fatty Le still had disdainful eyes, but his brows were slightly frowned, and he didn't know what was entangled in his heart.

Fan Shang first curled his lips unobtrusively. He felt that as the coach with the lowest qualifications among the national team coaches, it would be better to keep a low profile, but Yakai liked to find him for everything. "I think the defending champion Ajax is stronger, but this year Juventus is very stable, so the two teams have a 50.00% chance of winning." Fan Shang said that but he didn't say it.

After watching the two teams, just like Vincent's idea before the game, Juventus completely suppressed Ajax.Juventus' offense finally returned the result in the 12th minute.

The penalty shootout started soon, and the first penalty kick was the wild boar Davis.Fan Shang frowned and thought, "How could it be Davis? Isn't this guy a midfield butcher? Could this wild boar take penalties?" Fan Shang was full of question marks.

"Fan Shang, do you have anything to say about the first half?" Jacques asked Fan Shang during the intermission.

Although Fan Shang lowered his head, he saw all the actions of these people, "Le Fatty, I wanted to get closer to you, but now, heh heh, you won't let me have this opportunity to make trouble."

Juventus' starting lineup is: goalkeeper Peruzzi, defense, Ferrara, Pesotto, Torricelli, Verjoward, midfielder, Deschamps, Paulo Souza, Conte, Vialli , Forwards, Del Piero and Ravanelli

After the game, the two teams came and went, and they both created several opportunities, but they failed to rewrite the score again until the end of 90 minutes.

Now Davis has not put on those glasses, nor has he put a small braid into a ponytail. His current look is somewhat similar to his predecessors Rijkaard and Gullit.Davies started to shoot, but he fired the ball into the middle, and Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi fell down and blocked the ball.

At this time, all the people in the conference room smiled at Fan Shang except Fatty Le.Fan Shang was a little complacent at this time, this was the result of studying football for the past six months, not the golden finger of crossing.

In the 54th minute, Ajax scored a goal. After intercepting the ball from Peruzzi's double boxing, Finnish skater Limatnen decisively kicked the goal in the penalty area to equalize the score.

Because Vincent was still young in 1996 in his last life, he didn't have a deep memory of the Champions League. He felt in his heart that Juventus won the Champions League this year, but he was not sure.However, judging from the importance of the two teams before the game, Juventus should have a better chance of winning. Vincent is doing business with both sides at the same time, and you can see where their focus is after looking at their attitudes twice.Juventus only sent a signal for the transfer, and all their energies were focused on preparing for the final, while Ajax seemed to be preparing for the big sale after the season, contacting players everywhere, and split too much energy.

Frank De Boer made a mistake when he returned the header to the goalkeeper.Juventus took the lead.

But this goal also woke up the Ajax players. The defending champion began to deal with Juventus in the midfield and slowly regained the initiative, but the score was not rewritten until the end of the first half.

Ajax's second free throw was the Finnish skater Limatering who equalized the score for the team today. Limatering successfully tricked Peruzzi into the goal with a small pause in the start.

Then Juventus's Pesoto and Padovano, Ajax's Scholten each scored a penalty kick.

But Ajax's fourth player Sloy's shot was saved by Peruzzi.Before Juventus's No.4 player came on the field, the score had become 3:2. If Juventus's No.4 player could score the ball, then Juventus would win this year's European Champions Cup.

PS: Originally, Ajax equalized the score in the 41st minute, but the goal time was delayed for the sake of the plot. I hope you guys don’t spray it
