road to victory

Chapter 101 The first game
The situation on the court made Expayer stunned for a while, and his reaction was also reflected in his players. The coach and the players were stunned together, and the result can be imagined.

Due to too many new players, there is still some lack of running-in. After several midfield steals, the offense has problems in passing and running.But Bordeaux still had a chance. In the 16th minute of the game, Dudir and Song double-teamed the steal in the backcourt and handed the ball to Dakot. Dakot took the ball and observed the situation in the frontcourt. , Seeing that Pires was rushing forward on the left, a long pass found Pires.Pires saw Shevchenko, who was running into the penalty area quickly, when he was running. After he unloaded the ball lightly, he sent the ball into the penalty area before the defender had time to react.Shevchenko, who just came to Ligue [-], made a few mistakes, and this time he ran right. After a little adjustment, he shot a goal. The goalkeeper jumped up hard but still missed the ball.

Seeing that the ball was about to hit the goal, he was a little unlucky and hit the post and bounced back.Just when all the fans were regretting, a black shadow appeared on the way the ball bounced back, touched it lightly, and sent the ball, which was originally rejected by the goal, into the net.

"Buuuuuuuuut, Vertod, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!" Just now it was a sighing stadium at this time.

Fan Shang's mood also went on a roller coaster, his hands that had just covered his face quickly clenched into fists and started cheering.Fan Shang didn't expect such a quick goal, but he also saw an opportunity from the goal, killing you while you are sick is Fan Shang's favorite thing to do.Vincent stopped Nedved and Lizarazu who came to celebrate, and whispered something to them.

After kick-off again, Bordeaux's overall formation moved forward a bit. Lizarazu and Toyes directly pulled to the midfield. Dudir retreated slightly, and the overall formation became similar to a 352 formation.

Le Havre was not woken up after scoring a goal. The formation on the court was still chaotic. The frontcourt continued to implement the meaning of the head coach before the game, constantly wanting to attack forward, and the players in the backcourt were worried about losing the ball again. Stay behind and don't want to move forward.Such a disjointed formation allowed the Bordeaux players to play more and more smoothly. Although the new players were still a bit poor in running-in, they gradually found some feeling after attacking more times on the court.

In the 23rd minute, Lizarazu, who assisted to the frontcourt, made a pass from the bottom, and the Le Havre defender grabbed the first point and pushed out of the penalty area.But Pires deliberately grabbed the second spot, and under the interference of the defensive player, he poked the ball near the top of the penalty area. At this time, Nedved just appeared, without even making adjustments, he directly kicked his left foot in a signature style The heavy artillery shot from a long distance, and the ball stuck to the ground and went into the lower right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper made a save, but it was still beyond his reach.

"Buuuuuuuuuut, Needwide, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!" The same commentary sound echoed on the court again, except for the name.

"This guy is too uncreative." Fan Shang glanced back at the position of the commentator, "Go back and communicate with the club, or let this guy study more, or change him."

When the referee blew the whistle, Chilavert in the backcourt had already started to run forward. Vincent’s No. 1 penalty kick was Chilavert, but seeing the fans’ enthusiasm for Papin, Vincent was moving forward. Chilavert beckons.

"Buuuuuuuuut, Shefuuuuuuuuuuuut!" 3: 0, Bordeaux led Laaer in a large score at home.

After scoring the second goal, the head coach of Le Havre, Expayet, finally stopped being stunned, recognized the situation on the field, and began to adjust after knowing it, constantly urging the players to retreat , start defending.

Fortunately, Le Havre did not shrink in the penalty area like a tortoise. They kept moving forward with Bordeaux's defense.In this way, the gap came out. In the 59th minute, Nedvedra dribbled the ball in the middle and broke through. After passing a defensive player, he raised his foot and wanted to shoot. Dwyerde turned his shot into a pass and continued to rush forward.Seeing that the two defenders had lost their positions, the Le Havre defenders who had been following the two Bordeaux strikers exchanged glances. The player defending Shevchenko gave up Shevchenko and rushed to press Nedved.But the defender didn't run a few steps, the ball passed by his side and landed exactly at Shevchenko's feet, almost the same as the shot that hit the post in the first half.The same position, the same posture, although the goalkeeper has judged the position, he is still a little slower, and the ball passes through his fingertips.This time Lady Luck was on Shevchenko's side as the ball hit the inside of the post and rolled into the goal.

During the intermission, Vincent first praised the performance of the players in the locker room in the first half, but expressed regret for not seizing the last few opportunities.It would be good to continue to control the ball in the midfield like this in the second half. Although Le Havre organized an effective defense, but because of their strength, as long as they control the midfield well, it is not a problem to win the game.

When Papin came on the stage, the fans welcomed the returning veteran with warm applause.Of course, Papin did not disappoint the fans. He was the greatest threat to Le Havre's defense with a single arrow on the field, and created a penalty kick in the penalty area in the 82nd minute.

Of course not. Since Fan Shang led the team, he has always been the one who defended others intensively. He never thought that his own team could also attack, so Fan Shang was not prepared at all.Now we can only let the team open up the space, and then look for opportunities to cooperate with penetration.

The tug-of-war in the midfield began in the second half of the first half. Although Bordeaux had the advantage, Le Havre, who had woken up from the initial ignorance, had already organized an effective defense.Especially their goalkeeper, Le Vau, who was the best goalkeeper in Ligue [-] in the previous two years. After letting people penetrate the gate twice in the opening game, he cheered up and resisted several Bordeaux attacks in a row.

"Jose, let Pierre take this penalty," Vincent said.
"But..." Chilavert really wanted to score in the first game, and he wanted to make a good start for his second experience in Europe.

After that, the two teams began to deploy troops frequently.Vincent replaced La Moult successively, Sanuno and Papin replaced the three scoring heroes respectively, and adjusted the formation from 442 to 541, with La Motte playing right back and Toyes in the middle.

The second half continued the trajectory of the second half of the first half. Most of the time, the two sides still competed in the midfield, and Bordeaux had a relative advantage.Bordeaux can now attack around Le Havre's penalty area, but Vincent did not do so. First, he was afraid that the opponent would have a chance to counterattack if the pressure was too high. Second, Vincent had no solution to break the dense defense. .

Of course, Fan Shang couldn't be idle, he called the captain again, asked the players to return to their original positions, and continued the tactics arranged before the game.And Le Havre in midfield.

"Jose, do I owe you a favor?" Vincent knew that the ball was important to Chilavert, but it was even more important to Papin.For the team, the effect of Papin's free throws is also better. "The conditions are yours. This ball is too important to Pierre. I hope you can understand. If you are in that position today, I will stop others."

Although Chilavert is called a madman, his heart is still very normal, and his mind is even better than some ordinary people. Otherwise, this guy would not run for president after retiring. "I understand, but I really remember the favor!" Chilavert continued to run forward, and turned back to Fan Shang and said with a smile.

Chilavert ran into the opponent's penalty area, said a few words to Papan, pointed to Fan Shang, then patted Papan's shoulder, made an ok gesture to Fan Shang, and walked backwards towards him. It's like staring at how the ball goes in.

Papan nodded at Vincent after listening to Chilavert's words.Then after the referee whistled, he calmly sent the ball into the dead corner in the lower right corner of the goal.Goalkeeper Le Vau still judged the right direction this time as he had conceded the ball a few times before, but because the angle was too tricky, he was powerless and could only lie on the ground and watch the ball hit the net.
