road to victory

Chapter 118 Control
Finally clearing up the disharmony in the team, Fan Shang finally felt at ease.Less black sheep, more efficient training.Especially Pires, after having a heart-to-heart relationship with Fan Shang, he obviously focused a lot, and began to do the defensive defense that was originally put on.

Fan Shang is very satisfied with this result, if the next league game is in this state, why not win it?But the most important thing is to consider how to reverse the promotion in the UEFA Cup.

Fan Shang should really be thankful. When it comes to the UEFA Cup, the league opponents interspersed in the middle are all weak teams. The last time it was the bottom one Nice, and this time it is against the newly promoted Nancy this season who is currently ranked the bottom four. .

Fan Shang's impression of Nancy is still the same as when Li Dayu was still playing football in Nancy. Although he himself did not perform well in Nancy, this let the Chinese people know that there is such a consistent team in France.In fact, Nancy’s most glorious time was in the 70s. In 1978, under the leadership of French superstar Michel Platini, they won the first and only national championship in team history, the French Cup champion.That's right, what Nancy is most proud of is that Platini came out of Nancy, and this is the only thing they are proud of now.If you look at the results, they are completely sluggish. Nancy's stay in Ligue [-] is definitely longer than Ligue [-]. Even when Platini was still in the team, they dared to be relegated. Think about how crazy they are.

What Vincent never imagined was that Le Maire, a fat man, also played football in Nancy, and he was teammates with Platini. The two were sitting on the bench together at that time. Because of his poor level, Platini was less than 30 while watching the ball with him on the sidelines.

Fan Shang laughed at Le Maire for a long time because of this incident, and finally Le Maire couldn't stand it again, and said to Fan Shang calmly, "How dare a person who has never played professional football laugh at me here?" .” This made Fan Shang very speechless, of course this is all for the future.

The most important thing right now is to win Nancy at home, and then prepare for the next game against Slavia Prague.Of course, Nancy is also very face-saving in this game. The score fully reflects that the gap in the standings is not in vain. Bordeaux easily won Nancy 2:0 at home, further consolidating its top position.

Both goals came from Papin. The veteran has played his efficiency to the fullest in the limited playing time this season. Now his name has appeared on the scorer list, scoring 6 goals and ranking No. 1 in the scorer list. Three, 10 away from the 4 goals scored by No. [-] Rennes Jivas.

Givash?I heard you right, that is Jivas, the biggest laughing stock of the 98 World Cup in France.Vincent finally figured it out, no wonder even if he didn't score a goal, he would still be France's main striker in the 98 World Cup in the future, and his performance this season was eye-catching.If he didn't know the history, Fan Shang might recommend this person to Yakai, and he might even persuade Theo to buy it.

Papin was assisted by Nedved and Sanuno. It is worth mentioning that Sanuno has improved by leaps and bounds after Vincent gave him a little trouble. Now he is an absolute midfielder. Pires played, although the breakthrough from the wing was not so sharp, but Sanuno's pass was fully utilized, sent a lot of good goals to the forward, and finally assisted Papin to score, which was also a good return for him.If it weren't for Sanuno's body not being so strong, Fan Shang would definitely put him in the main lineup. After this game, Fan Shang decided to let Ramot take Sanuno to practice strength, so as to help him as soon as possible. number one confidant.However, his performance added new options to Fan Shang's formation.

After Bordeaux opened the game, they tried desperately to grab the ball and expanded the defense to the entire court. After grabbing the ball, the Bordeaux players made a very puzzling move and passed the ball back.Then it fell into a lengthy and protracted back-and-forth between Bordeaux's defense and midfield.

In fact, Fan Shang likes to deal with those teams with super stars. If you kill one point, you can restrict many things, especially football is a sport of 11 people. Even if you use two to three people to defend one person, it is not good. impossible.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fan Shang decided to pay a visit to Nedved. He is a Czech after all, and he has played against Slavia Prague many times in China. Virtue.

The tactics that Fan Shang and the coaching staff can think of now, I think the Czechs must be able to think of them, there are still two points, either choose to attack or defend, or think of a surprise idea.Slavia Prague is the second largest club in the Czech Republic. Although their strength is similar to that of the upper and middle reaches of the five major leagues, especially in this year's European Cup, the Czech Republic performed so well. Their state can be said to be bursting now. The toughness of the Eastern Europeans, anyway, Fan Shang thinks that hard attack is not a good idea.

Fan Shang has already explained that as long as the opponent is forced to come over, he will pass back. At worst, Chilavert will serve again in the end.Fan Shang still recognized Chilavert's skills and experience.In this way, Bordeaux is like competing with Slavia Prague, Bordeaux keeps passing the ball, and the Czechs keep chasing the ball.

So Fan Shang thought over and over again and decided to use a compromise solution.Let the players focus on control in this game, instead of handing over the ball to the opponent as before, they only defend.Now the ball is in Bordeaux. Although the overall formation is still relatively deep, it can pull out Slavia Prague's formation and find space.

In fact, Vincent also thought about using this style of play in the league before, but the abilities of the players did not match well, and they were prone to mistakes when playing against teams with good skills.And Slavia Prague is a team that mainly focuses on hand-to-hand combat. It is time for Vincent to verify this idea.Although the stakes are a bit high, it is worth a try, at least in the first half.

Before the game, Vincent announced the starting lineup. The defense was still the five players, Chilavert, Lizarazu, Toyes, Song and Gamara. There was a change in the midfield. Vincent put the commonly used sweeping midfielder He was replaced by Sanuno, and the other three were Nedved, Dacourt and Pires. Pires has been in a very good training state these days, and his attitude on the plane is also correct. Let him be the starting player They have nothing to dissatisfaction with, Shevchenko and Papin on the forward line attacked Bordeaux together.Slavia Prague continued their lineup from their previous win over Bordeaux.

Bordeaux played in the backcourt for nearly five or six minutes in a row. At first, the Czechs didn't care about it. They moved slowly and watched Bordeaux play with themselves, but they really watched their opponents pass the ball unscrupulously. The emotions came up after a while, and began to pounce on the players in Bordeaux.

But Vincent doesn't like to encounter this kind of team that relies on the overall team. It's really hard to play unless it is crushed by strength, but Bordeaux has not reached this level against Slavia Prague.

Bordeaux on the field now is a bit like Barcelona in the later period of Guardiola's coaching. Passing the ball for the sake of passing, and controlling for the sake of control, is not that efficient at all.But this is the effect Vincent wants, he wants to provoke the Czechs and let them rush up, although the bus is also for them to rush over, the effect is completely different.

This is what Fan Shang prepared for this game. Before the game, Fan Shang carefully analyzed what he knew and the information about Slavia Prague he got from Nedved. This team is based on the overall style of play. Master, there is no outstanding individual, his style of play is tough, and he likes to go straight.

Fan Shang summoned them for this problem, and Fan Shang couldn't make up his mind.Let's attack, the probability of scoring increases, but it is not what Bordeaux is good at.Let's defend, Bordeaux is very familiar with it, but whether the counterattack can score or not becomes a problem.These people argued noisily for a long time, but they didn't discuss the reason, Fan Shang had to make up his own mind.Every time Fan Shang had something he couldn't figure out, he would have a cup of coffee and sit by the window to meditate.

Before the match against Slavia Prague, Vincent still decided to discuss tactics with the coaching staff.At this time, there were differences. Some people think that they should attack hard. After all, the score is 1:3 now. If they don’t score goals, they can only be eliminated. To ensure that the team will not be widened again, plus a counterattack or a free kick to score two goals can be expected.

It is estimated that no one in the audience would have thought that a UEFA Cup game could be such a trifle, especially since Bordeaux is still behind.Although the fans are not booing Fan Shang now, if Bordeaux does not advance, Fan Shang will definitely be drowned by their saliva.

Wait, all Fan Shang can do is this word. At this time, he is just sitting on the coach's bench, keeping his eyes on the situation on the field. He needs to grasp the changes on the field every minute, and at the same time observe the behavior of the Slavia Prague players. Condition.

It didn't take long for Slavia Prague's formation to become so compressed that they were almost pressing on Bordeaux's receiving and passing players.Fan Shang finally saw an opportunity. He originally wanted to go to the sidelines as usual and find a player to teach him how to do it face-to-face, but he was afraid that the noise made by the fans would attract the opponent's attention when he walked up.So Vincent called a substitute player and said a few words to him, and then he ran behind Bordeaux's goal, first warmed up symbolically, and then approached the goal and yelled a few words to Chilavert.

Although Chilavert didn't look back, Fan Shang saw Chilavert's slight nod.
