Chapter 56 Traore's Marseille Manoeuvre
In the rest of the first half, the entire Zenit team earnestly implemented the arrangement of the head coach Edvocaat and did not allow Bordeaux to score again.

"Okay, the first half is over. Bordeaux returned to the locker room with a 3-0 lead. For Bordeaux, it was definitely a fantastic first half. For Zenit, it was a hellish first half, but I think Bordeaux can't take it lightly. In the second half, we need to be careful not to give away goals to our opponents. Lessons from the past are not far away. Marseille also met Zenit in the Europa League last 3. They also led Zenit 0-2 in the first half at home in the first leg. Marseille was relaxed a bit, Zenit’s Arshavin scored an away goal, Zenit returned home and defeated Marseille 0-[-], and Marseille was eliminated by that away goal.” Liu Jianhong was about to catch up with the head coach of Bordeaux, and he kept giving Bordeaux advice in the live broadcast.

In fact, what Liu Jianhong can think of, Blanco can also think of, and the example is the same Ligue [-] powerhouse Marseille. Blanco will definitely not allow the same mistake. Blanco arranged: "In the second half, we have to play more steadily and pour the ball more in the midfield. Liu also returns to the midfield to pour the ball more. We can't give away goals to the opponent. The example of Marseille is in front of us. We have a good opportunity to attack again. In short, we must pay more attention to defense."

At the beginning of the second half, Zenit did not make a big counterattack. The game was also tepid, and the two teams slowly consumed time like this.In fact, Advocaat was also afraid of Bordeaux's continued onslaught in the second half. Now he is not confident whether Zenit can withstand it. What he requires is to stabilize the defense in the second half and find a chance to win a goal after 75 minutes. In this way, Zenit can consider returning to the home court to emulate what they did against Marseille.

At 75 minutes of the game, Zenit began to counterattack vigorously. Bordeaux was suppressed for a while, and Liu Ting had to return to the midfielder to defend.

"Zenit's success in the quarter-finals of the Europa League is not in vain. Bordeaux are still struggling with their death-defying counterattack, especially their head star Arshavin, who has performed exceptionally well and has a great breakthrough speed." Liu Jianhong is also a little worried for Bordeaux.

In the 83rd minute, Liu Ting also received a yellow card when defending Arshavin.

However, Bordeaux, who was fully defending, still defended the last 15 minutes. In the end, Bordeaux ended the game with a score of 3:0.

"At the end of the game, Bordeaux defeated the Russian team Zenit St. Petersburg 3-0 at home. This score almost made the second round of the game meaningless. Few teams will lead by three goals in the first round and then be reversed in the second round. Although there are indeed such examples, they are rare. I believe Bordeaux will not give the opponent such an opportunity."

This score made all the Bordeaux fans cheer. This is a score that locks in promotion. Many fans are already thinking about the match against Bayern in the semi-finals.

In this round of the Europa League knockout round, only Bordeaux and Zenit were divided. The other three home games between Glasgow Rangers and Sporting Lisbon were goalless. Fiorentina drew 1:1 with Eindhoven at home. The most surprising thing is that the home game between Bayern Munich and Getafe ended 1:1, which no one expected before the game.

Bordeaux's big victory, many people began to be optimistic about their match against Bayern Munich, thinking that it was not a contest of disparity in strength, Bordeaux was capable of fighting, the most direct performance was that the bookmaker adjusted Bordeaux's winning odds to the second place, and now Bordeaux has become the second favorite after Bayern Munich.

In this game, the Bordeaux Trident each scored a goal, which appeared in European media newspapers for the first time. Liu Ting's goal was repeatedly broadcast by major TV stations, and was called the smartest goal of the year.

Liu Ting had one goal in this field, and the number of goals in the Europa League reached 7, but he did not tie for the top scorer list but could only tie for second place. Although Bayern could only draw with La Liga team Getafe at home 1:1, Bayern striker Luca Toni scored Bayern's only goal, so that Luca Toni scored 8 goals to occupy the top spot. Liu Ting and Zenit St. Petersburg's Pogrebnyak tied for second with the same 7 goals.

Far away in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Tito Vilanova was watching the goal highlights of the TV station. Now the highlights of the game where Bordeaux defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 3-0 at home were shown on TV. Looking at the kid on TV, he was still as spiritual as when he entered the youth training camp. Vilanova had a headache.

He contacted Liu Ting according to Guardiola's explanation. There are still 4 months until the summer transfer period. Vilanova didn't directly ask him if he would like to come back, but just tried a little bit, but the kid did not show a strong willingness to return to Barcelona like other players from La Masia. It seems that more efforts are needed to buy him back.

Damn Francisco Carlos!
Vilanova secretly resented that it was this bastard who drove that kid away. Vilanova himself was a youth echelon coach, and he would punish disobedient players in the team, but if he was a talented player, he needed to be careful. I don't know how that bastard became an echelon coach?
At the same time, the highlights of Liu Ting's goals also spread to London, Manchester, and China. Many people who care about him have seen the highlights of this game.

The UEFA Europa League is broadcast in China, so the highlights of this game will be everywhere on the Internet the next day.

Zhang Qiming didn't get up until 12:[-] noon. He stayed up all night and worked overtime for the last two days, so he didn't even have time to watch the game.

Zhang Qiming turned on the computer, and instead of directly looking for the results of last night's game, he went to the post bar to have a look. He is the owner of Liu Ting's bar, and he would go to the bar every day to see if there was anything going on.

As soon as I entered the post bar, there were discussions about last night's game everywhere, saying that Bordeaux won the game beautifully, and there was no suspense in advancing to the next round. Many people are already fantasizing about the battle between Bordeaux and Bayern, and the match against the giants is always the most concerned.

However, there are also many discussions about Liu Ting’s goals in the post bar. The most witty goals are the words that appear the most. Zhang Qiming, feeling itchy, clicked on a post titled "Some people play with their bodies, some with their talents, Liu Ting plays with their brains". After clicking on the video, it was actually a collection of Bordeaux’s goals against Zenit.

Three days after the match against Zenit St. Petersburg, it will be the 32nd round of Ligue [-]. This round Liu Ting continues to be suspended. This is also his last suspension. Bordeaux needs to go to an away game against Rennes.

Rennes is the second largest city in northern France. It is also considered by the French to be the most livable city. The main reason is that it is convenient for transportation and shopping. The scenery is good but not top-notch and will not attract a large number of foreign tourists. At the same time, this city has a certain historical background. Living here is convenient and the transportation is good. The scenery is good and you will not be disturbed by too many outsiders. It has become the most suitable city to live in.

Liu Ting also went to Rennes with the team without incident, and was welcomed by local international students in Rennes. The first to third universities of Rennes are good universities in France. There are many Chinese students studying here. Liu Ting also signed two names in the past.

Rennes is not a big club, and has been an ordinary team for a long time. However, in the past two years, Rennes has performed well. The results in the last three seasons were 4th, 7th, and 4th.

Liu Ting knew that Mbia thought he would go to the Chinese Super League Hebei China Fortune to play in the future, and it was because of his goal that Traore scored.

Traore's goal is known as the best goal in the Premier League, but it is prefixed with an own goal.

This guy likes to show off his feet on the field. Traore represented Liverpool in a match against Burnley in the 04/05 season. He might want to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper when he caught the ball in the penalty area, but he felt that he could not show his level by passing the ball back. Li also won Liverpool with this shocking own goal.

This goal is known as the best own goal in the history of the Premier League. Many strikers will never score such a beautiful goal in their lifetime.

This guy is now Rennes' main defender.

Among the players who have played for Rennes, there is also a famous one, that is, the current Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Speaking of it, this is another signing with a difference in temperature. Wenger saw that Cech, who was still playing in the Czech Republic, wanted to introduce him, but he was unable to transfer because of the labor certificate. In the end, Cech moved to the French Rennes team. After playing for Rennes for two years, he was bought by the local tycoon Chelsea.

A player who was not nearly signed by Wenger is not a good player.

Rennes currently ranks 5th in the Ligue [-] standings and is playing at home. They are capable of causing trouble for Bordeaux, but fortunately the game is still safe and sound.

In the 18th minute, Diarra's long-range shot helped Bordeaux lead Rennes 1:0, but then the two teams played each other offensively and defensively, so the score of 1:0 was not safe.

But the score of 1:0 was maintained until the second half, which made people nervous. In the 37th minute, Micoud suffered a muscle strain and was replaced by Fernando.

Fortunately, in the 81st minute, Fernando scored a goal from a corner kick to help the team seal the victory. It is a pity that Liu Ting did not see Traore use a Marseille gyration with his own eyes. He is also a lover of Marseille gyrations. Maybe the two can exchange experiences.

Bordeaux defeated Rennes 2:0. Lyon will go to Marseille tomorrow to challenge Marseille. Now Marseille is not easy to deal with. In the last game, Bordeaux beat Nancy with difficulty, leaving the 4th Marseille only 3 points away from the 3rd Nancy. Marseille must compete for every point to qualify for the Champions League. Lyon still has the hidden danger of Benzema's absence.

　The Champions League draw came out, and the Red Army drew a good group.
