road to victory

Chapter 121
What pleased Vincent was that Nantes faced a shortage of major generals in this game, especially Makelele, who was suspended due to accumulative yellow cards, and he will be in the stands in the game against Bordeaux.

Vincent sent the same starting lineup as the last game against Slavia Prague, and continued to use Sanuno.The absence of Makelele allowed Vincent to see an opportunity in the offense.

Nantes put out a 352 lineup, the goalkeeper Landro, the back line has Dizette, De Cox, Pinol, and the midfield five are Darocha, Ferry, Gurvinic , Le Roux, Karotti, the forwards are two Africans, Tunisia's top player Salimi and Chad's number one star Ndo Ram.This set of lineups whose name does not sound shining is definitely a face-lift for strength in the current Ligue 82.The head coach of Nantes is an old coach, Suado. It was he who led Nantes to the league championship the year before last. He also led the team to the Ligue 83 title in [-]-[-].

This kind of three-back formation is actually rare in France. Ligue 442 teams generally still use the traditional [-]-[-]-[-], but the midfield position is a little more flexible. Of course, this also has a certain relationship with their national team. .

Nantes is actually not a regular formation today. Due to Makelele's suspension, Suado believes that he should strengthen the control of the midfield when playing against Bordeaux, so he removed a defender and added a midfielder. .But fortunately, Nantes' defenders are relatively comprehensive. Coupled with Suado's research on Bordeaux, he thinks that the three defenders are already very sufficient.

After looking at Nantes' starting lineup, Vincent looked pretty. This is obviously a contempt for Bordeaux's offensive power.But after thinking about it again, isn't this a favorable opportunity?But how to grasp it?

After the opening, Nantes' main energy was to control the midfield, and Bordeaux didn't even mean to compete, so they gave up directly.Nantes began to conduct continuously in the midfield, looking for opportunities.Bordeaux will not follow the ball like Slavia Prague in the last game, but this time Bordeaux complement each other and help defend, and they don't want to give Nantes a chance.

Fan Shang didn't look at his own backcourt much, but kept paying attention to the three defenders of Nantes. Two of these three were jack-of-all-trades. Only Decaux was a genuine center back, and the other two usually played All full-backs.

"Well, I found it. The flaw should be here." Fan Shang firmly believed that these three people were his key targets today, but Fan Shang hadn't found out what method he used.

Nantes patiently looked for gaps in Bordeaux's defence, while Bordeaux waited for Nantes to attack them.The two teams are like a confrontation between a tiger and a hedgehog. The tiger is waiting for the hedgehog to relax, while the hedgehog is waiting for the tiger to rush over and use its most powerful thorns to defend and counterattack.

Just as Fan Shang turned around excitedly to celebrate with the coaching staff and the players on the bench, he suddenly felt a huge mountain on his back, and then the weight continued to increase, and he was crushed to the ground, struggling weakly at the bottom.

Vincent discovered when Shevchenko retreated a few times that the central defender's footsteps were obviously half a beat slower than Shevchenko's, but in order to verify Decaux's speed, Vincent asked the team to Feint on both sides, let Shevchenko run with De Cox.Sure enough, as Vincent expected, Decaux was no match for Shevchenko in terms of speed. Vincent made the final decision this time to hit behind the middle.

At this time, in the away team fan area behind the goal, some fans who came with the team to the away game began to be uncontrollably excited. Although their voices were not loud, Fan Shang could still hear them.

In an attack from Nantes, the Chadian Ndoram shot was confiscated by Chilavert, and then Chilavert swept his eyes across the frontcourt and drove forward with his big feet. This time the ball went in the middle and flew far away. Probably approaching the middle circle of the opponent's half and the middle of the penalty area.There is no one in that place now. The three closest players are the goalkeeper Landreau in the Nantes penalty area, and the other two are Shevchenko and Decaux who started chasing the ball from the center circle.

Nantes' three defenders can be said to have nothing to do on the field, standing near the midfield and watching their teammates attack.Bordeaux's top player Shevchenko's position is actually similar to these three, with Papin behind him.After observing carefully for a while, Fan Shang discovered some new things, but he still needs to verify it.

1:0 After Bordeaux was passively beaten throughout the first half, the first shot in the goal frame changed the score.

Vincent crossed Le Maire and said a few words with another assistant coach, Luo Er, and then Luo Er got up and went to the sidelines to direct.Now Fan Shang really dare not go to the sidelines to direct casually, it is easy to be misunderstood, especially in the current anxious situation.After Luo Er came back, he gave Fan Shang a nod. Fan Shang smiled charmingly, but kept his gaze on the field.

When he saw the ball hit the net, Fan Shang raised his arms high, feeling more excited than kicking it in himself.Shevchenko roared to the sky after scoring the goal. This time, he finally got rid of the fate of being fouled consecutively in the league.

Landreau did not attack this time. He stayed near the small penalty area. This is his usual style, steady and calm, mainly relying on his super reaction speed. This guy is still a good shooter at penalty kicks.Without Landreau, only Shevchenko and Decaux are left to compete for landing points. Decaux is the only genuine central defender in Nantes. His height of 185 not only brings Lost the advantage in the air, but also limited his body's flexibility and reaction.This weakness of his was noticed by Fan Shang when he was observing the situation on the field.

At this moment, Fan Shang's heart on the sidelines was already in his throat, and he was waiting for the moment when he scored.If Vincent is the most nervous person off the field, let alone Shevchenko and Landro on the field, the two who are attacking and defending are slowly approaching.Shevchenko made a small change of direction in order to avoid a foul during high-speed running, which caused Landreau's center of gravity to shift slightly, but he still relied on his quick response to pull the center of gravity back.But in this tiny adjustment, Shevchenko saw an opportunity. At the moment when Landro was shaking, he kicked the ball in the direction where Landro's center of gravity was just now. At this time, Landro, who had just stood firm, Luo had no chance to save any more, and could only watch the ball fly past his right side and fall into the bottom of the net.

Besides, on the field at this time, the race between Shevchenko and Decaux ended in a few steps. In the limited distance of more than ten meters, Shevchenko got the ball with a half-step lead and continued. Speeding up, successfully throwing off Decaux, ushered in a golden opportunity for a one-handed goal.During the period, Shevchenko also successfully avoided the pushing action behind Decaux. This is a skill that Shevchenko has only developed recently, because in the previous few games, when he got several good chances to score, he was blocked The young Shevchenko is very embarrassed. He has been studying hard in recent weeks and has begun to try to avoid these things. Today he is relying on A change of direction avoids the foul.

After each counterattack, Fan Shang would give the players in the field a thumbs up, especially for the moth-like sprint that Fan Shang arranged for them, they needed a little praise.But most of his attention is not on the two sides. During these counterattacks on both sides, he saw what he wanted.

After Pires and Nedved made several unsuccessful attacks, the first half had already lasted for more than 40 minutes, and with injury time added, there were only about 5 minutes left. Fan Shang felt that it was time.He stood up, first stretched his waist, then walked to the sidelines, folded his arms, and waited for the opportunity of the dead ball.It is impossible for him to let go of this opportunity to show his ability, and he must continue to be the god in the eyes of the fans.

In fact, most of the time, Bordeaux's counterattacks come from short passes, direct passes, or the dribbling and cooperation of one or two people, and rarely go to the backcourt to directly cross the half.However, after Rolle sat down, Bordeaux changed in the counterattack. After the backcourt players stole the ball or dead the ball several times in a row, they directly made long passes to Pires and Nedved, who were running forward at high speed. People did not pose any real threat to Nantes, but the two of Nantes' three defenders on the side began to consciously lean to the two sides to help defend against the attack of Bordeaux's two wings.

Papan ran back to the field and conveyed the coach's meaning to his teammates. Fan Shang prayed silently in his heart, "We must continue to pretend to be successful!"

Sure enough, Vincent didn't stand on the sideline for long, and Bordeaux broke the ball out of the sideline while defending.But this time, the player closest to Fan Shang took the initiative to come to find Fan Shang, instead of him calling the players.It was Papan who ran over, and Fan Shang was still pulling his arm habitually, while the other hand kept changing his posture, and quickly poured his thoughts into Papan.

After Fan Shang was rescued from the pile of players by the assistants, the players dispersed, ended the celebration, and continued the game.Only Fan Shang's downcast figure was left behind, without even catching an accomplice, let alone the culprit.

Fan Shang tidied up his clothes silently, and was the first to go back to the locker room after halftime, waiting for the group of meritorious officials.

"Who was there just now, stand up quickly!" Fan Shang said with a gloomy face after seeing that the players were ready, "Don't say? I'll count to three, if no one admits, then you just wait."

"1... 2... 3... Very good, since this is the case, don't blame me." After counting down to three times, Fan Shang smiled coldly.
