Chapter 59 Accumulated Yellow Card Suspension
After Liu Ting scored a goal, his performance was very calm. His teammates were not calm. A game that was supposed to be a surefire game ended up like this. In the end, it was time to kick a penalty kick to decide the winner. Everyone was under a lot of pressure. Now they finally passed the test.

Liu Ting was quickly dragged by the Bordeaux team to pile up on the sidelines, and few fans in St. Petersburg booed them. They always thought that their team could reverse Bordeaux, but they guessed the beginning, but they couldn't guess the end. They were defeated by a penalty shootout at the last moment.

At the post-match press conference, both Arshavin and Liu Ting became the focus. Each of them led the team to play a good game. In the end, no one could do anything to help the other side, and God had to roll the dice to decide who won.

Liu Ting also needs to show the demeanor of a winner in front of the media: "They are a very strong team, not as weak as people think. There are several players in the team who can join the giants, especially Andrei (Arshavin). I think he will shine in this summer's European Championships and become the target of the giants. Zenit is just unlucky to meet Bordeaux."

Not only praised the opponent but also secretly praised myself. I heard that I was too witty, and I also predicted Arshavin's performance in the summer.

Bordeaux and Liu Ting should be most grateful to Bayern. Bordeaux eliminated Zenit, otherwise Bayern would have been slaughtered in the semi-finals. Arshavin stepped on Bayern. Of course, Bayern can’t predict the future and don’t know this. In fact, Bayern always thinks that Zenit is the soft persimmon. Bordeaux’s trident may cause them trouble.

In any case, this game also made Arshavin famous in Europe, and even many Chinese fans will know him tomorrow morning, and he almost led the team to a big comeback in Bordeaux.

Zhang Qiming, who is far away in China, can finally sleep with peace of mind. It was too scary, but he finally won the promotion, which made him very happy.

Thinking of the match against Bayern in the semi-finals, Zhang Qiming was both excited and worried. He was excited about the battle between Bordeaux and the top giants, and worried about Bordeaux losing miserably.

Now many fans who support Bordeaux also think that as long as they don't lose miserably against Bayern in the semi-finals, it will be a good thing, and winning can only be lustful.

Bordeaux flew directly back to France that night. The weather in St. Petersburg was too uncomfortable. Blanco decided to let everyone go back and have a good rest.On the plane back to France in St. Petersburg, assistant coach Gasset was sitting next to Liu Ting with a deep expression on his face.

Gasset said: "Liu, unfortunately, you received a yellow card in this game."

Liu Ting asked strangely, "What's wrong with getting a yellow card?"

"You have accumulated three yellow cards and you will be suspended for the next Europa League match."

"Uh?"

"Actually, we knew when you got the card. At that time, Laurent was furiously cursing on the sidelines, but finally decided to tell you after the game is over, lest you know at that time that it will affect your state."

Liu Ting didn't expect this either, but he didn't stop Arshavin at the time that Zenit might get a chance, and Bordeaux would be eliminated if the opponent scored another goal.

The suspension rules for the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League are the same. A red card will directly suspend one game. Of course, additional penalties will be considered for red cards with bad circumstances.

The yellow card is the first time in this season that three yellow cards are automatically suspended for one game, and then every two yellow cards are automatically suspended for one game, which is the so-called "single-number suspension system".

Liu Ting got one in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Now he has one in each of the two games against Zenit St. Petersburg, and a total of three suspensions. Speaking of which, both of them were on Arshavin. Bordeaux won’t have a hard time if Zenit is eliminated. Bordeaux’s next game is to challenge Bayern away. The premise is that Bayern can pass the Getafe pass. Liu Ting’s absence will definitely make Bordeaux’s strength drop.

When the Bordeaux team returned to the warm city of Bordeaux, the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals were all over. Except for Bordeaux, the other three groups were also favored teams to advance. Fiorentina beat Eindhoven 2:0 on aggregate and 3:1 on aggregate, and Glaggs Rangers defeated Sporting Lisbon in Portugal 2:0 on aggregate 2:0 away. However, Bayern’s game was also as thrilling as Bordeaux. Going to the away game in the second round, Getafe was sent off by a red card in the 1th minute of the first half. Bayern was also scored by Getafe.

In the first half of overtime, Getafe, who was one less player, scored two goals in a row. In the last 5 minutes of overtime, Luca Toni scored twice to equalize. In this way, Bayern drew with Getafe 1:1 at home and 3:3 away with a total score of 4:4. Bayern advanced to the semi-finals relying on more away goals.

The Europa League quarter-finals this time was full of ups and downs, especially the promotion of Bordeaux and Bayern in the first half of the competition. It can be regarded as attracting some attention to UEFA to a certain extent. The current four teams are still Bayern.

Liu Ting's imminent suspension soon became known to the media. Every yellow card was recorded and easily found, and no one dared to falsify and arrange the suspended players to play.

In the Copa del Rey in Spain in 2015, Real Madrid’s opponent was Cadiz in a low-level league. Real Madrid defeated their opponent 3:1 away. Soon after the game, it was reported that Real Madrid’s player Cheryshev had accumulated yellow cards and was suspended.

Liu Ting's suspension made the media more optimistic about Bayern's advancement. The German media directly shouted the slogan of killing the game at home in the first round.

Although Bayern was embarrassed by Getafe in the quarter-finals just now, Bayern’s ferocity is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the group stage, Bayern has massacred opponents 6:0. The striker Luca Toni also completed a big four. In the top 32, Bayern slaughtered Aberdeen in Scotland 7:3 in two rounds. In the top 6, Bayern beat Anderlecht in Belgium 2:[-]. , Fortunately, finally pass.

The German "Bild" directly reported: "Bordeaux's trident is not as strong as imagined. Bordeaux has played 12 games in the Europa League so far. Bordeaux has not scored more than 3 goals. The biggest score win is the 3-0 victory over Zenit at home. They were almost overturned by their opponents in the away game. Now their star Liu Ting will miss a game. Bayern Munich can completely end the suspense at home."

"Bild" is known as the "Sun" of Germany, and its reports are often unreliable, but this report has been recognized by most people.

In fact, Bordeaux still has good news. Bayern’s striker Luca Toni also received a yellow card in the last game against Getafe. The next home game against Bordeaux will also need to be suspended. In fact, the most scoring players of both teams will be suspended.

※※※

Now Tony has scored 10 goals in the Europa League and ranks first in the scorer list. Zenit striker Pogrebnyak who has just been eliminated is second with 9 goals, and Liu Ting is third with 7 goals.

The league will continue. On April 4, the 13rd round of Ligue 33 Bordeaux will play against Caen at home.

Bordeaux is bound to win this game. First, Caen is not strong enough. Second, the match between Lyon and Rennes was held one day earlier. Lyon was tied 1:1 at home by Rennes. This is a good opportunity to widen the gap between Lyon and Rennes.

As long as Bordeaux wins this game, they will be able to draw 3 points away from Lyon, and Bordeaux has the advantage in terms of goal difference. So far, Bordeaux has 39 goal differences, while Lyon only has 31. Bordeaux wins at home, and there will be room for maneuver in a game in the future. Even if Bordeaux makes a slight mistake, Lyon will not be overtaken immediately.

Of the three newly promoted horses this season, only Caen seems to be able to relegation successfully. Metz showed at the beginning of the season that the position of deputy squad leader is mine, and whoever grabs me will be in a hurry.

Another newly promoted 'university city' Strasbourg performed well at the beginning of the season, but its performance in the second half became worse and worse. Now it has reached the second-to-last position, and it seems that relegation is inevitable.

Only Caen's performance has been stable, always in the middle and lower reaches, currently ranked 11th in Ligue [-], although it has not succeeded in relegation, but the possibility of success is very high.

It is also worth mentioning that Marseille is still in the 13th place in Ligue 19 during the 3th round of Ligue [-], and it is second to last. In this round, Marseille won and Nancy lost.

I believe that Marseille will firmly occupy this position and will not give Nancy another chance. However, in the next 5 rounds of Ligue [-], Bordeaux will have an away game to Marseille, which may be more difficult.
