Chapter 12 Gomez in Monaco

At 9 pm on September 1st, Bordeaux will challenge Monaco at home.

When Liu Ting asked the media about Gomez before the game, he simply said: "The eagle sometimes flies lower than the sparrow, but the sparrow can never reach the height of the eagle."

"Are you thinking that Monaco is just a sparrow and Bordeaux is an eagle?"

"No, I mean those who think they are great."

Liu Ting's remarks added color to this game. The match between Bordeaux and Monaco has obviously become the most watched match in this round of Ligue [-]. It is a contest between the Ligue [-] powerhouses, and there are different kinds of revenge mixed in it.

In this game, Blanco also gave Liu Ting a chance to perform, perhaps as a reward for his good performance in the last game. In short, Liu Ting's first chance to start came like this.

Compared with other European countries, the French are naturally less fanatical about football. As one of the five major leagues, the overall attendance rate of Ligue 35200 is even lower than that of the English Championship, which is England's second-tier league.However, this game is the highlight of Ligue [-]. Bordeaux's home stadium, the Chabon Delle Polo Stadium, which can accommodate [-] people, is still almost full.

Bordeaux's home court is named after the former French Prime Minister Chaban Delmar. Delmar was defeated and surrendered by Germany in World War II. After the country's president fled abroad, he took the lead in leading the French people who were unwilling to surrender against German rule.Later, after the restoration of France, Delmar became the prime minister of France, which also opened the era of prime ministers in France. In the past, there were only presidents and no prime ministers in France.Delmar once served as the mayor of Bordeaux, and Bordeaux named the stadium Chabang Delmar Stadium to commemorate him.

This is Liu Ting's first starting game, and it is still at home in Bordeaux, excited and a little nervous.

When the Bordeaux team played, Liu Ting also got a lot of cheers.The main reason is that Liu Ting performed well in the last game and helped the team get a hard-won three-pointer in an away win. In addition, in the past two days, the media reported about his grievances with Monaco, and now he is a little famous.

"The game is about to start. Bordeaux's striker has changed again today. It is Bellion, Chamark and Liu Ting who start. It seems that Blanco's best striker combination has not been found yet, but the good news is that Bordeaux introduced in the middle of last season and entrusted him with Kavinaghi. He is sitting on the bench today. It seems that his injury has healed."

"I don't know if the Chinese boy will perform well in this game. He grew up in Monaco. It is said that his agent went to the Monaco club to promote him before the season started, but he was rejected by Monaco's current head coach Ricardo Gomez. Football players are often like this. You want to play for a club you like, but you are not accepted by the head coach or management." 'Old man' Joseph was feeling emotional again.

"Okay, old guy, your failure to play for the Lyon team in your hometown in your career is due to your lack of strength. You don't need to put money on yourself like this. The Chinese kid is different from you. He has strength and was rejected by Gomez." Baptiste mocked Joseph without hesitation.

Liu Ting started the first game of his career, and he was still a little excited.

After the opening, Bordeaux kicked off first, and the ball was transmitted to the frontcourt. After Liu Ting took the ball, he took a step, and shot directly from outside the penalty area.

"It seems that our 'newcomer' kid is still a little nervous. I thought his shot was going to hit a sparrow flying in the sky." Baptiste's mouth would seize every opportunity on the court to taunt.

Liu Ting himself shook his head and walked back, it seemed that his feet hadn't adapted yet.

"Hey, boy, you don't have to use so much force in the first game, right? I think the coach can't help but wait until the second half to replace you. Take it easy, just like you did when you came off the bench in the last game." The team captain Di Yala came over to talk to Liu Ting.

Liu Ting was a little excited, but not particularly nervous, and nodded in response to Diarra.

After the game restarted, the two sides began to attack you back and forth.Most of the French teams are offensive, and the games are very entertaining, but the atmosphere of Ligue [-] fans is not very good.

In the 21st minute, Liu Ting dribbled the ball from the right and made a pass. Monaco's defensive error allowed Berlyon to grab a point in a good position, but Berlyon's header almost missed half of the pitch.

Less than 10 minutes later, Monaco responded with a shot from Uruguayan midfielder Diego Perez just over the bar.

Immediately afterwards, Bordeaux tested Monaco's goalkeeper continuously. Today, Monaco's goalkeeper Stephen Ruffel is in good condition and saved several threatening shots from Bordeaux in a row.Liu Ting also received a through ball from Diarra in the 32nd minute, and took advantage of the opponent's defender's reaction in the penalty area to shoot suddenly, but was saved by the brave Rufael to the bottom line.

"This game did not live up to everyone's expectations. The two sides fought fiercely. The fly in the ointment is that they failed to score a goal. The goalkeepers of both teams are in good condition today." This is Joseph's fair and just commentary.

Soon the first half of the game was coming to an end, but Bordeaux's right back Charme was injured and fell to the ground while defending Monaco's flank. In the end, he had to be helped off by the team doctor. This game must not be played.

Blanco directly replaced the injured Charme with Brazilian midfielder Wendell, the meaning is already obvious, to strengthen the offense.However, in the last few minutes of the first half, Monaco was besieging Bordeaux's goal. Charme's injury was a bit of a blow to Bordeaux's morale.

"Judging from the first half of the game, Bordeaux took advantage of the advantage of the home court to take advantage of the offensive. However, Monaco was also uncomfortable and had no power to fight back. The two sides played against each other on offense and it was considered a tie for the time being. However, Bordeaux's right back Charme was injured at the end of the first half. Bordeaux is a hidden danger. Blanc directly replaced the injured defender with a midfielder, showing his determination to win the opponent at home." Joseph analyzed the first half of the game that just ended.

"From the aspect of revenge that the fans care about, Gomez's team performed well. If they seize the opportunity in the second half, they can take away a victory. This can be regarded as a successful revenge for being fired by Bordeaux. Bordeaux's Chinese kid Liu Ting also performed well. After an impatient long shot in the opening game, he quickly adjusted. Bordeaux's advantage in the first half is not unrelated to his breakthrough on the wing."

"Okay, the 15-minute break in midfield is over, and players from both sides will play again."

When playing, Liu Ting took a special look at Monaco's head coach Ricardo Gomez, a very ordinary Brazilian.At first, Liu Ting thought that the Brazilian, whom he had never heard of, should be an incompetent person, but now he feels that this Brazilian is somewhat capable. The current Monaco team is no longer the Monaco that reached the Champions League final three years ago. It can be said that this Monaco team is just an ordinary Ligue 2 team. The most famous player in the team is the Czech high center Jan Koller who once played for Borussia Dortmund. He can also play inextricably close against Bordeaux at the Chaban del Polo.
