i am a football star

Chapter 54 Tsar Arshavin
The old Jacques was watching the post-match news broadcast on TV: "In the just-concluded Valenciennes home game against Valenciennes, an injury occurred. In the game, Valenciennes opened the scoring and Bordeaux quickly equalized. In the rest of the first half, the two teams failed to seize the opportunity to break through the opponent's goal. However, in a Bordeaux corner kick attack before the end of the first half, Bordeaux's rising star Liu Ting hit Valenciennes player David Ducourtus with his elbow. Liu was sent off with a red card on the spot, Ducourtus was also taken to the sidelines for treatment, and he was substituted in the second half. After the game, Valenciennes said that Ducourtus had a broken nose and would be sidelined for several rounds of the league, and he would appeal to the French Football Association for Liu Ting's intentional injury. However, after the game, the Bordeaux coach and all the players claimed that it was just an unintentional collision, which requires the Football Association to make a judgment based on the post-match video."

"It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the game, Bordeaux, who had one less player, was scored twice by Valenciennes, and finally lost the game 1:3. Regardless of whether the Football Association judges whether Liu Ting intentionally injured someone, he will definitely be suspended. It's just a question of how much the suspension is. Bordeaux can be said to lose and lose. If Lyon beats Paris Saint-Germain at home tomorrow, they will overtake Bordeaux and come to the top of the standings."

Old Jacques sighed and turned off the TV helplessly.

At this time, Alan Perrin in Lyon is cheering, as long as he wins Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow, he will be able to return to the top of the list. This year's league championship opportunity has come again.

And Liu Ting was on the plane back with the Bordeaux team. Liu Ting and Miku were sitting together. Miku was talking to Liu Ting: "You are a star now. In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, you should complain to the referee. If you complain too much, the referee will notice you and your opponent. Although this is not good, most of the referees on the court will favor the star. , Of course, don’t go diving in the penalty area at this time, or you may be the one who gets the card.”

"The coach is very upset about losing this game. Don't do anything else to make him angry these days, or you will be miserable."

Liu Ting listened carefully, and wanted to say sorry, but he was thinking in his heart that if I was absent from the team, I would lose. It seems that my importance is self-evident.

The next day, Lyon played against Paris Saint-Germain at home. Lyon scored two goals in the first half, and Paris quickly equalized the score in the second half.

The good news for Bordeaux is that Benzema is injured in this game and may miss two or three games.

Speaking of which, Liu Ting now also has 13 goals in Ligue 4, ranking fourth in the Ligue 8 scorer list, and is also the top scorer in the Bordeaux team. Originally, Benzema's injury was considered a good opportunity for Liu Ting to catch up with Benzema, but he was also suspended.

After this round of the league is a week of national team match day, Liu Ting did not play.The French Football Association's punishment for Liu Ting also came down quickly, and he was suspended for 2 games, which can be regarded as a lighter punishment.This is actually the peace of the French Football Association. Liu Ting is a famous new star in Ligue 2 and the Bordeaux club operates from it. The Football Association does not want to punish severely, but he must be punished for hitting someone, so he was suspended for [-] games.

Originally, receiving a red card would automatically suspend one game, but now the addition of one game has become a two-game suspension, which can be regarded as an explanation for Valenciennes, and we still punished the opponent.

In this way, Liu Ting will miss the next two rounds of the 31st and 32nd rounds of the Ligue [-] league. Fortunately, the Europa League between the two rounds of the league will not be affected, and Liu Ting can participate as usual.

But Liu Ting had to do one more thing, and that was to publicly apologize to Ducurtus who was beaten by him. In fact, he published an apology statement in the newspaper. This was the meaning of the French Football Association. Liu Ting had no idea.

Soon after the week of national team matches, the Bordeaux team came back to prepare for the 31st round of the French Ligue 3 match against Nancy at home. Nancy is still in third place, 2 points ahead of Marseille, which has gone all the way from the bottom 4 back to 6th.

So Nancy has to fight hard every game, and dare not relax at all.

So after the start of the game, Nancy began to defend roughly at home in Bordeaux. Maybe they thought that Valenciennes used this method to score three points in the last round and could follow suit, but they were wrong. What happened in the last round made the French Football Association very unhappy. He scored twice and defeated Nancy with difficulty 10:2. Yes, even if Nancy was sent off two people, Bordeaux had a hard time winning. In the first half, they conceded a goal first, and in the second half, Kavinagi scored a goal to equalize. In the 1rd minute, Kavinagi made a penalty kick and scored to win. The victory was not easy at all.

It is not uncommon for Bordeaux's defense to send a goal first. Everyone is used to this state of Bordeaux.

Fortunately, they still won, and they tightly bit Lyon in the standings. In this round, Lyon also defeated Valenciennes 2:1 to win. It was not easy to win without Benzema. Bordeaux fell behind Lyon by 2 points and followed Lyon.

Four days after the match against Nancy, Bordeaux will face Zenit St. Petersburg in the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals. Bordeaux's signing is really not good. The three consecutive knockout rounds are first home and then away. We all know that this kind of two-round knockout match will be more difficult. , First the host and then the guest. If you can't play well in the first round, it is too difficult to reverse on someone else's territory.

Take the UEFA Champions League knockout game that has attracted the most attention. Among all the teams that have played hosts and then away for so many years, none of the teams have ever made a comeback in the second round after losing at home.

实际上欧冠要10/11赛季才会出现第一支主场输球客场翻盘的球队，国际米兰那个赛季欧冠十六强中主场0:1小负，到了客场3:2击败拜仁，总比分3:3依靠客场进球淘汰了拜仁，成为第一支主场输球客场翻盘的球队。在中国的网络上很多人说95/96赛季欧冠半决赛阿贾克斯是先主场0:1输球客场再3:0翻盘的，但是不管哪里的资料上都是那年半决赛是阿贾克斯客场0:1输球回到主场3:0翻盘。

In any case, the UEFA Europa League game is still here, and Zenit St. Petersburg came to Bordeaux one day in advance to prepare for the game.

Most of the media are optimistic about Bordeaux's advancement, but Zenit's team core and head star Arshavin said in an interview: "Our strength is not weaker than our opponents. We are fully capable of defeating our opponents away."

Others took Arshavin's words as a joke, but only Liu Ting knew that Zenit really had this ability, and how strong Arshavin was.

Arshavin will have to wait until the European Cup this summer to let the whole of Europe know how powerful he is. In the European Cup, Arshavin was banned from participating in the first two group matches of the Russian team due to previous international competitions. people.

In the knockout round, they faced the Netherlands, which beat Italy and France, the 06 World Cup champions and runners-up in the group stage. No one was optimistic about this Russian team. Russia scored the first goal and the Netherlands equalized at the last moment. Arshavin completely controlled the overtime match. Arshavin led the team to eliminate the Netherlands 3:1 in the overtime match, but lost to the current champion Spain in the semifinals.This also made Tsar Arshavin famous, and Barcelona, ​​Arsenal and other giants threw olive branches to Arshavin one after another.

But now Arshavin is not yet famous, and many people don’t know about him. This also makes everyone underestimate the strength of this Zenit. The strength of Zenit St. Petersburg is not necessarily weaker than Bordeaux. As long as Bordeaux takes it seriously, they are not afraid of opponents.

Liu Ting has a kind of melancholy that everyone is drunk and the only one is sober, and he can't get rid of it.

On April 4, the home game between Bordeaux and Zenit St. Petersburg came. Now only Bordeaux is still insisting on the European competition. The game was full of surprises. The cheers when Bordeaux entered the field were rare. However, judging from the emotions of the fans, they were also affected by the media. They think that Bordeaux won is not a big problem.

Pain Xun Video live broadcasted the game without any surprise.
