Chapter 16 There is a team called Greater Paris

Tampere United is indeed too weak. Even at home, they are no match for Bordeaux. In the end, Bordeaux defeated Tampere United 3:1 in an away game. Kavinaji, who had just recovered from injury, scored twice.Liu Ting got an assist, and in the second half, Kavinaji headed into the opponent's goal with a cross from the bottom.To be honest, Liu Ting felt that his crossing ability was just average. La Masia was not good at teaching people to cross, and he was better at ground coordination. If he met a guy like Berlion with a bad header, he could push the empty goal two miles away. Liu Ting's cross was simply a stroke of luck.

However, now that Kavinaji has come back to play in the middle, it is obviously much better to grab points in the middle, and Liu Ting can also mix up a few crosses for assists. It seems that Kavinaji's Batty's successor is not talking nonsense, he is really of that level.

I have to say that Blanco is indeed a good coach. Now Bordeaux striker, Cavinaghi can score goals and support in the middle, and Berleon, who returns to the left, can freely use his speed to run wildly on the side. Liu Ting can also cross from the right and break through to help the team. Now Bordeaux's attack combination has finally begun to take shape.

With an away goal difference of two goals and three away goals, Bordeaux can deal with it calmly. Even if they lose 0:2 at home in the next round, they can rely on away goals to advance more. The next thing Bordeaux has to do is to prepare for the away game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Bordeaux first took the train across France to Lille for the game a week ago, then flew to Finland for the game four days later, and then flew to Paris, France for the game. The whole team seemed very tired.

Paris has not yet been acquired by a local tyrant in Qatar, and the situation in Ligue 15 is not very good. It has been good and bad every year. Last year, it only won the 11th place in Ligue [-]. This year, depending on the situation, there is nothing to look forward to. Now after eight rounds of the league, it is only ranked [-]th in Ligue [-].

No one would have thought that such a Paris team would let the whole world know: there is a team in this world called Paris, and there is a kind of owner called a Qatari. It is not a problem to spend more than 2 million euros to buy a star, because not all teams can be called Paris.

Who would have thought that there would be such an epic love-hate relationship between Paris, Barcelona and Neymar in the future?
However, as one of the only two teams in Ligue [-] that have won the European Championship, Paris Greater Paris still has a lot of background. The only French team that has won the Champions League, Marseille, and the only French team that has won the European Cup Winners' Cup.Therefore, in the confrontation between the tired Bordeaux and the slightly declining Paris, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

The good news is that Charme, the main right back who was injured in the game against Monaco, is back from injury.

"Players from both sides have already played. This game is the focus of this round. Paris Saint-Germain played at home against visiting Bordeaux. Paris Saint-Germain only achieved 15th in Ligue [-] last season, but this season has not improved. It is still in the middle and lower reaches of the standings. Bordeaux is doing well under the leadership of coach Blanco, but this game is their third away game in a week. Ann Baptiste narrates.

The two sides guessed the coin and kicked off, and finally Paris kicked off first.

"Saint-Germain launched an attack on Bordeaux from the very beginning. It seems that although the recent situation is not good, Saint-Germain is still unwilling to defend at the Parc des Princes in Paris and wants to compete with Bordeaux."

Although Paris Saint-Germain is attacking, it seems a bit messy. This is also the result of a team's long-term poor record. The players on the field do not have the awareness of sincere cooperation. They all think that they neither need to relegation nor have the ability to compete for the championship.In addition, the current head coach of Saint-Germain, Paul Gunn, is not a capable guy. Liu Ting has never heard that this guy came from that mountain, and he got mixed up in the position of head coach of the Ligue [-] powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain. Saint-Germain deserved its poor record.

Saint-Germain's offense seemed disorganized, which gave Bordeaux a chance.

"Bordeaux's counterattack. Charme, who had just returned from injury, intercepted Saint-Germain striker Diani in the backcourt and passed the ball to the Chinese kid in front. Liu quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt. He was really flexible on the field. A simple change of direction passed the Saint-Germain defender Zuma Camara, and passed Kavinagi in the penalty area."

"Cavinaghi didn't turn around and hit the goal. He headed back directly to Micoud who followed. Micoud had a good chance. He easily passed Bernard Mendy. He was already single-handed. Saint-Germain goalkeeper Landro had no choice but to attack, goooooal!!! The goal was scored!!! Micoud pushed the goal from the far corner. Only 10 minutes into the game, Bordeaux took the lead. Micoud scored in two consecutive games. He proved that he is still alive." Baptiste roared again. up.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Liu Ting broke through to pass the ball, Kavinaji responded, Micoud single-handedly scored, and Bordeaux led 1:0.

"Through this goal, we can see that Bordeaux's frontcourt cooperation is very smooth. Saint-Germain seemed to have no defense, and Bordeaux easily tore through the defense."

This goal really made Saint-Germain's players realize the gap in strength between themselves and Bordeaux, and the offense was not so overwhelming.But after the pressure on Bordeaux decreased, they began to launch continuous attacks on Saint-Germain.

In the 18th minute, Cavinaghi's header hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

Only 3 minutes later, Liu Ting broke into the penalty area with the ball and was tackled by defender Silva Armand, but the referee thought that the ball was tackled first and no foul was called, but Blanco on the sidelines shouted for a penalty kick.

In the 25th minute, Berlion crossed the penalty area after breaking through from the left, and Cavinaghi's shot was bravely saved by Landro.

In the 31st minute, Micoud made a through pass to Berlyon, and Berlyon succeeded in countering offside, but he hesitated a little when shooting, and was destroyed by the opponent's goalkeeper's decisive attack.

Bordeaux's tide-like offensive suppressed Saint-Germain's head. Being so suppressed at home, Saint-Germain's players also began to get angry, and their defensive actions became more and more serious.Liu Ting decisively reduced the number of breakthroughs. It is not a big problem to win this game. Recently, the schedule is tight and he is very tired. The injury is not worth the loss.

Liu Ting thinks this way, but other people don't think so. For example, Kavinaji, who has just come back, feels that he scored twice in the last game and is in a good state recently. He wants to use goals to stabilize his main position.

※※※

Sometimes things backfire like this. The more Kavinaji wants to score goals, the less good chances he gets.

In the 42nd minute, Micoud passed a high ball into the penalty area. Kavinaghi jumped up to fight for the top, but when he fell, he clutched his thigh in pain and fell to the ground.

When Blanco on the sidelines saw this, he was so angry that he threw the mineral water bottle on the grass. It seemed that Cavinaghi's thigh injury that had just healed had something wrong again, and the trident he had just experimented was missing a middle link.

In the end, Kavinaji was carried out of the court on a stretcher, and Liu Ting could see the tears under his hands covering his face.

"Some people say that Kavinaghi failed to meet expectations and became the real successor of Batty because he was abandoned to play in Moscow for money. In fact, his injury is not unrelated." Baptiste said with a sigh.

At the end of the first half, both sides were unwilling to fight. Cavinaghi's injury hit Bordeaux's morale to a certain extent, and Saint-Germain thought about going to midfield and waiting for the coach's adjustment.

During the intermission, Blanco asked to continue to attack in the second half. A one-goal lead is the most unsafe.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Brazilian striker Viela, who replaced Cavinaghi, played in the middle. Blanco did not let Bellion go to the middle again.

"I don't know if Saint-Germain coach Paul Gunn made any adjustments during the midfield? Anyway, I think Saint-Germain's offense still didn't improve in the second half. Originally, Cavinaghi's injury might be a chance for Saint-Germain to comeback, but Gunn seems to turn a blind eye to this opportunity." Baptiste did not hesitate to laugh at Paul Gunn's tactical adjustments at the beginning of the second half.

Paris Saint-Germain does seem to have no improvement in offense, it is still the same old style, in short, it is just playing blindly.On the contrary, Saint-Germain's brutal defense intensified, as if they were going to kick all Bordeaux out of the game. Maybe Gu En had learned the Chinese art of war from Sun Tzu, and wanted to defeat others without fighting. Naturally, no one would compete with them after getting all Bordeaux down.

In the 47th minute of the second half, Liu Ting dribbled the ball at the front of the penalty area and was fouled by the opponent. Bordeaux got a free kick in a good position. The first free kick shooter in the Bordeaux team was Berlion. The level of free kicks of other players was average, only Berlion was better.

"Bordeaux got a free kick in a very good position. Bordeaux sent Berlion to take the penalty. It seemed that Berlion was going to hit the goal directly. Saint-Germain had already lined up a five-man wall, Berlion ran up-hit the goal, the ball-goal-goal!!! The ball went in! Berlion kicked the goal beautifully. The roar reappeared.
