i am a football star

Chapter 38 Top of the List
What the Football Association dislikes the most is people who don't obey discipline, and Liu Ting still plays abroad. If he really enters the Chinese Olympic team, he is dissatisfied with the various arrangements of the Football Association and goes abroad to speak ill of the Football Association.

This is also the main reason why the Football Association has been unwilling to accept naturalized players. The Chinese football performance is poor. Some people have proposed to naturalize some foreign players to join the Chinese nationality and then join the Chinese team to improve their performance. In fact, the Japanese have long had naturalized athletes, mainly in those sports that they are relatively weak. China has always had table tennis players with Japanese nationality, and basketball and volleyball.

What the Chinese Football Association is worried about is that these naturalized players must have some strength. With some strength, they often have a temper and have no worries. They are likely to be unruly.

A few years ago, some African foreign players played football in China. Maybe they played out their feelings. They publicly said in front of the media that they wanted to join the Chinese national team, but the Football Association pretended not to hear it and arranged for the newspaper to release the topic.

So the Football Association still likes those real Chinese registered players. They have too many concerns in the country. Basically, they have to accept the arrangements of the Football Association and obey the discipline of the Football Association.

Having said that, Xie Yalong felt that it would be better not to call that kid to the national team in China, and not to talk about it in the future.

In the second half of the second half, both sides played calmly. In the end, Bordeaux defeated the Chinese Olympic team 2-0 relying on Obertin's goal in the first half and Liu Ting's goal in the second half.

At the end of the game, a few players came to exchange jerseys with Liu Ting. Liu Ting looked at the players standing in front of him. On the contrary, Gao Lin, who had never had a chance to play, was doing well in the future. Many of the others would not be able to play after two years of playing.

Liu Ting said to the Olympic players in front of him: "I only have one jersey?" He said and chose to change jerseys with Gao Lin.

After the game with the Olympic team, Bordeaux had to prepare for the next round of the game against Le Mans. Liu Ting was suspended for one game, unable to participate in the game and did not go away with the team.The game finally relied on the goals of Carvinaghi and Fernando to defeat Le Mans 2:1. The game was uneventful, but Giulieti, who was sitting on the sidelines, received a red card for provoking the home fans.

In the last round of the 20th round of the league, Bordeaux beat Auxerre 4:1 at home. Lyon also won Toulouse 3:2 at home. Lyon's poor state is obvious.This round of Lyon was not so lucky. Lyon lost 0:3 to Lens in the away game, which made the winning Bordeaux surpass Lyon and rise to the top of the list.

目前波尔多以21轮联赛13胜4平3负积43分的成绩排名榜首，里昂以21轮13胜3平4负积42分的成绩排在了第2位，之后就是36分的南锡和35分的尼斯，目前波尔多和里昂争夺联赛冠军的形式已经很明显了。

Many French media reported on this game, which made people see the hope of Bordeaux winning the championship. Lyon has occupied the league championship for six consecutive years. This year, Lyon is not as dominant as before. Many people are happy to see a different face to lift the championship trophy.

"French Football" made a special report: "This round of the league is a crucial round. Bordeaux is promoted to the top of the list. Lyon's weakness is beginning to show. It is very likely that Bordeaux will interrupt Lyon's monopoly on the league championship. Perhaps Bordeaux's time is coming. Laurent Blanc may achieve brilliant results in the first season of coaching."

The victorious Bordeaux came back happily. The pace of time waits for no one, and the next round of the league is coming.

Next is a week of double matches, with only 4 days of rest, and the 22nd round of Bordeaux's home challenge to Saint-Etienne will come.

"It's 65 minutes into the game, and Bordeaux still haven't scored a goal. If Bordeaux is tied at home, they will be kicked out of the top position after only 4 days. Because the match between Lyon and Lorient ended early, Lyon won 2-0 at home. Blanc needs to find a way to break through the intensive tactics of Saint-Etienne, who have no desire for Europe and no hope of relegation." Adrian Baptiste is worried about Bordeaux. He often explains Bordeaux After many games, I like Liu Ting's playing style, and I also started to like the Bordeaux team.

Saint-Etienne's coach Laurent Ruse watched the situation on the field expressionlessly, but he was very happy in his heart. Of course he was happy to be able to deflate the young coach who is now being praised by the whole of France. This intensive tactic was also specially arranged by him.

The tactic of placing a bus in front of the goal is a headache in any era and any league. The predecessors have summed up several methods of breaking dense defenses, nothing more than long-range shots from the outside, strong dribbling with the ball, and high center forwards going to the penalty area to grab points and pass from the outside.

But the good thing about facing this kind of team is that once the opponent scores a goal, the opponent can no longer defend. It is useless to defend if it is almost behind. Anyway, if you lose one, you still lose, and if you lose two, you still lose. Of course, if the opponent thinks that losing only one goal is good.

Liu Ting was also a little anxious on the field. He didn't want the team to tie a game and lose the top spot after he was suspended. But among the Bordeaux players on the field, Kavinaji, who is good at grabbing points in the penalty area, was restricted today. Liba is tall, because the long-range shots of the Bordeaux team are not good, it seems that the only way is to break through the opponent's penalty area.

In the 68th minute, Liu Ting dribbled the ball from the left into the penalty area and passed the opponent's Brazilian central defender Nivardo. Nivardo reacted openly when he was out of position and pulled Liu Ting's clothes covertly.

"The referee Arnott didn't think it was a foul. He asked Liu to get up quickly. This was an obvious misjudgment. In the replay just now, Nivardo did pull Liu's jersey. If Bordeaux couldn't win the game today, the referee must be a big reason. His penalty scale is relatively loose, which gives Saint-Etienne a better defensive environment. As long as it is not an obvious foul, he will not blow the whistle." Anyway, they won't be expelled from CCTV if they explain it wrong.

Liu Ting got up helplessly. He watched Diarra and Miku go to negotiate with the referee but there was no result, so he didn't go to complain. If he got another yellow card, he would accumulate three yellow cards and be automatically suspended for one game.

Liu Ting walked over to communicate with Kavinaji, trying to find a way to break the opponent's defense.

"Bordeaux doesn't seem to have a good solution. Micoud, Diarra, and Wendell in the midfield are pouring the ball down continuously. Saint-Etienne only has two forwards in the midfield to press the ball and can't achieve a good closing effect. Liu also returns to the midfield to get the ball from time to time." Baptiste said in a boring tone: "Liu returned to the midfield to receive the ball again. He dribbled the ball forward quickly, and it was like hitting a wall near the penalty area."

"Liu adjusted two steps at the front of the penalty area, as if preparing for a long-range shot. St. Etienne's midfielder Landlin came to defend, and Liu shot from a long distance? No, it was a fake shot and a real dunk. He passed Landlin and quickly entered the penalty area. Liu was accelerating. Vallarte came over. Liu was forced to go to the side! Beautiful!! It was a pass!! Player, the ball from Cavinaghi is right in front of him, beautiful coordination in the penalty area!!! This is the style of French football!!!”

"Liu received the ball very close to the goal, and there were no defensive players around him, so he just kicked it!!! Goooooal!!! The ball went in. Liu caught the ball and shot it without hesitation. The ball flew into the lower right corner of the goal. Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Viviani couldn't react at all. It was a beautiful goal!! Liu and Cavinaghi have a perfect understanding!"

In the 78th minute, Liu Ting and Cavinaghi's cooperation in the penalty area gave him a good chance to help Bordeaux lead Saint-Etienne 1:0.

After Liu Ting scored a goal, he hugged and celebrated with Kavinaji, and the stadium was full of cheers from Chinew and Chinew.

The head coach of Saint-Etienne, Laurent Ruse, was not too happy. Seeing the football fly into the goal, he kicked the turf hard on the sidelines. As long as he persisted for more than ten minutes, he could take away a draw. Now the situation has changed.
