Chapter 14 Zidane II

After the game restarted, Blanco quickly replaced striker Berleon with defender Mejri and returned to a four-back configuration to ensure defense.

Gomez also replaced Menes, who had just become Liu Ting's extraordinary background, with Brazil's attacking midfielder Nene, obviously wanting to fight in the next time.

In the end, Bordeaux did not give Gomez a chance. Although Nene scored a goal in the 86th minute when he was replaced, time was running out. In the end, Bordeaux won Monaco 2:1 at home.

After the game, Liu Ting once again became the best player in the game, and was taken by Blanco to participate in the post-match press conference.Liu Ting was the best player in this game, and it was the first time for a rookie to participate in the press conference, so he was naturally the focus of the reporter.

"Liu, is it any different feeling to score in the first official game and also break the goal of Monaco at the same time?"

"I just treat it like a normal league game."

"Is there any special meaning when you score a goal and go to the coach's bench to celebrate?"

"No, I was very happy and didn't notice where it was celebrated."

……

Blanco on the side watched Liu Ting calmly deal with the reporter, and nodded involuntarily. This kid is quite big-hearted, and he was not nervous at the first press conference.

However, Gomez was not very friendly. The entire press conference was black-faced, as if he owed tens of millions and was dragged to sell his ass.

Newspapers reported this Ligue [-] highlight that day, and Liu Ting officially appeared in the sights of French fans.

Reports such as "China Zidane shines at the Saban del Polo Stadium" and "Bordeaux has found its own Zidane" are endless. Liu Ting read these reports, and the media likes to create focus to gain attention. Suddenly, it became Ronaldo's generation and Messi's generation.

There are also media reports under the name of "This is my spot". The words Liu Ting yelled at Gomez after the game were quickly dug out, but such reports are all focused on the love and hatred between Liu Ting, Gomez and Monaco.

After the 7th round of Ligue [-], it will be half a month for the national team match day.Liu Ting did not participate in any national team. In fact, many players in the Bordeaux team, especially players from football powerhouses such as Brazil, Argentina and France, are not national team players, or are only marginal players of the national team. It is rare to be called once.

At the end of the 7th round of Ligue 4, Bordeaux temporarily ranked fourth in the standings with 2 wins, 1 draws and [-] loss.

At the end of this round of Ligue 3, the draws for the UEFA Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League group stage and the third round of the Europa League qualifying round were held in Monaco.In the European Super Cup at the Louis II Stadium, the Champions League champion AC Milan defeated the Europa League champion Sevilla 1:[-]. Kaka scored a goal and added another force to his own competition for the World Footballer.

Bordeaux was sixth in Ligue [-] last season and did not qualify for the Champions League, but won the French League Cup to participate in the Europa League.Bordeaux don't need to pay too much attention to the Champions League group stage draw, but Ligue [-] class leader Lyon was drawn into the death group. In the same group, there are La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga champion Stuttgart and Scottish champion Glasgow Rangers. This may make Lyon expend too much energy to qualify for the Champions League group stage.

In the third round of the UEFA Europa League qualifying round, Bordeaux only need to avoid the two G14 giants Bayern Munich and Ajax who condescend to play in the UEFA Europa League. Bayern took a nap last season and failed to win the top three positions in the Bundesliga. Fortunately, we can make a difference in the Europa League.

Of course, the premise is that there are no giants in the Champions League group stage who only finished third in the group and fell out to participate in the Europa League knockout round.

Bordeaux was lucky in the end. They didn't run into the terrifying Bayern or the powerful Ajax. Bordeaux's opponent in the third qualifying round was Tampere United from Finland. It is not a big problem to enter the Europa League group stage.The Portuguese team Billerence hit the giant Bayern in the Europa League, and Ajax's opponent was the Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb.

On the second day after the Europa League draw, the Bordeaux team had a holiday. Diarra and a few others went to participate in the national team competition, and the others were free to move around.Liu Ting received a call from John Micoud, inviting him to participate in team activities. In fact, the Bordeaux team formed a group to go out to eat, drink, have fun and visit nightclubs.

Liu Ting was very happy to receive this call. He didn't have any special hobbies or dislikes about going to nightclubs, but this call showed that he had been accepted by the team. The two games made his teammates recognize his strength.

In a nightclub in Bordeaux, Liu Ting and Miku sat talking together.Although Micoud is not the absolute main force of the team, he is the boss of the Bordeaux locker room and is very authoritative in the locker room.

Micoud has a nickname throughout his career - Zidane II. Like Zidane, his career started at the Cannes Club, and then moved to Bordeaux to become famous.After Zidane transferred from Bordeaux to Juventus, Bordeaux soon introduced Micoud to fill the vacancy left by Zidane. Micoud also completed his task very well. Since then, he has been nicknamed Zidane II.

When he played for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, Miku was also the core of the team's midfield organization. He helped Bremen beat Bayern to win the Bundesliga championship.

But Micoud has always been living in the shadow of Zidane, even in the position of organization on the field, like Zidane, he likes to organize the team's offense a little to the left of the midfield.Therefore, Micoud has always been Zidane's substitute in the French national team. If there is no Zidane, Micoud will definitely become the core midfielder of the French national team.

Among those who knew Miku, most thought that Miku was an underrated organizer. In the 04 European Cup super dark horse Greece beat France, Chariste Yas of the Greek team sent the French team led by Zidane back home with a header.Charisteas is Micoud's teammate at Werder Bremen, and he is using this method to fight for Micoud's injustice. In his opinion, Micoud's organizational skills are not worse than Zidane's at all, but he became famous two years later than Zidane.

Now the 35-year-old Miku is almost unable to play the ball, and he cannot guarantee the main position in the Bordeaux team.

Talking to Miku, Liu Ting sighed that he should not become such a tragedy as Miku in the future.

Looking at his teammates in Bordeaux, Liu Ting felt that this Bordeaux team is still very strong.

There are powerful veterans like Micoud, and formerly talented players like Kavinagi who failed to meet expectations. After becoming famous in the World Youth Championship, Kavinagi is the most promising successor to Batistuta.In the team, Diarra also joined Bayern as Vieira's successor, but unfortunately he also failed to meet expectations. In the team, Berlion once played for Manchester United. Chamark will join Arsenal in the future, and Obertin will also join Manchester United in the future.

Counting it down, this Bordeaux team does have a lot of good players.

When Liu Ting was playing in a French nightclub, something happened about him in China.

The Maopu forum was only established at the beginning of this year. Taking advantage of the disastrous defeat of the Chinese national team in the Asian Cup group match this year, a large number of people on the Internet cursed the Chinese team, the Football Association, and the pig coach. Soon Maopu became a well-known domestic football forum.

At noon today, a post titled "China Zidane's Amazing Ligue [-]" appeared on the Maopu forum, and there was a video in the article.

This article is about Liu Ting, and it also contains some good performances of Liu Ting during team training and video clips of two games in Ligue [-].Soon, this post became popular, because in the video there was really a young man with a Chinese face, with good foot skills and fast speed, and he even used Marseille maneuvers to slip.

"Not Chinese, right? I've never heard of any domestic players playing in Ligue [-]."

"I think it should be a Chinese."

"A banana man who can't even speak Chinese, what kind of Chinese are you?"

"What does playing football have to do with whether you can speak Chinese?"

"Isn't the one he used during training the Bengbu maneuver of Emperor Li Yi? Could it be Emperor Li Yi's disciple?"

……

Soon there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, discussing where Liu Ting's nationality is, how old he is, and so on.This post only has a video and a simple statement about a Chinese playing in Ligue [-]. There is no other information at all, and it all depends on everyone's imagination.

China's Internet is a very magical place.The fact that Emperor Li Yi protected the ball like Henry, and turned into a Bengbu slalom twice in Marseilles were all made up by netizens themselves, and of course it was more for irony.
