road to victory

Chapter 137 The End of the First Cycle
Izmirk had nothing to explain at this time. He had already anticipated the result when he did this action. When he received a red card, he just took off his jersey and walked into the player channel without looking back.

The position of this free kick is in the middle of the center circle, at the position of the kick-off point. Chilavert ran over and signaled that all Bordeaux players should go to Besiktas' penalty area. Both the offensive and defensive players ran halfway. At that time, Chilavert suddenly took the ball. The ball first flew high, then fell quickly, and the direction was Besiktas' goal.

Seeing Chilavert's shot, Fan Shang clasped his hands together and put them next to his mouth, his mouth opened wider and wider as the ball slowly hit the goal, but when Fan Shang saw the ball was about to fall into the goal When the goal was about to start cheering, there was a "boom", the ball hit the goal crossbar, and then bounced off the baseline.

The audience sighed. If this goal is scored, it will definitely be the best goal in this year's UEFA Cup.It's a pity, it's only a few centimeters down, but Fan Shang still clapped his hands and shouted Chilavert's name, and then gave him thumbs up non-stop.

Although this goal was not scored, it was of great help to improve the momentum.This ball also told Besiktas, "Don't be loose, see, I can threaten your goal as long as I am near the midfield, you can figure it out."

Sure enough, the two central defenders of Besiktas have withdrawn to their own half. They are really afraid of Bordeaux scoring again now. If one can still find a chance, the two will be over.Besiktas coach Hashim Kalla ran out of three cards in his hand early, and now he can only gesture desperately on the sidelines.

Until stoppage time, the two teams maintained a score of 1:0. At this time, Fan Shang replaced a central defender, Distin, and Shevchenko. Receive the individual cheers from the fans, and in the end it is to consume the time of stoppage time.

There are 5 minutes of stoppage time, and the biggest contribution is Shevchenko's goal. The celebration time can almost cover the stoppage time.

For Bordeaux, which is currently equipped with five backs, Besiktas's offense is nothing but thunder. They had a chance to cross, but now even the chance of crossing is destroyed by Bordeaux's two full-backs.Especially on Ramot's side, although this guy's offensive and defensive skills are rough, but with this good body and speed advantage, he abruptly blocked the attack on Besiktas' side.

Although there was no danger in the last 5 minutes, Fan Shang still stood on the sidelines and lived like a year. This may be the 5 minutes that Bordeaux has worried Fan Shang the most this season. Fan Shang also met with Besiktas coach Hashim Like Kara, he kept directing the players and gesturing on the sidelines. Anyway, he was no less idle than Chilavert who directed the defense on the court.

In this league game against Rennes, Vincent still sent all the main players to start, but replaced Papin with Wiltord.The reason why Wiltord is used is because, following the general rules, after a player transfers to a new club, he will be extremely excited against his old club. Wiltord played for Rennes last year.

Bordeaux can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Some of the main players in the continuous campaign, Vincent did not bring them to Toulouse.Because there were not enough people, Fan Shang remembered Anseline and Fernandez who were still waiting in the reserve team. Finally, he managed to gather 18 people and went to Toulouse for the competition.

Sure enough, regularity always makes sense. Although Bordeaux's overall state is mediocre, Wiltord's state is surprisingly good today. He seized two of the four chances to shoot and scored two goals. .In the end, Bordeaux narrowly defeated Rennes 2:1 at home and continued to lead in the standings. No.2 Monaco is still struggling to catch up behind Bordeaux, and No.3 Paris Saint-Germain has begun to slowly fall behind.

With the whistle of the Dutch referee, Bordeaux survived the last 5 minutes. In the end, they defeated Besiktas 1:0 at home. The total score of the two rounds was 1:0. Bordeaux successfully eliminated Besiktas Adams, entered the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.The next UEFA Cup match will be on March 04 next year, and the opponent will still have to wait for the draw to decide.The other seven qualifying teams are Manchester United, Monaco, Schalke [-], Inter Milan, Anderlecht, and the rest are two dark horses, La Liga mid-range team Tenerife and Danish powerhouse Brondby .Bordeaux's opponents will be produced from these teams, and it is possible that other teams besides Monaco.

After the end of the game with the Toulouse Fontaine Club, Bordeaux split into two groups. The players and coaches in Toulouse flew from Toulouse to Corsica, and the people in Bordeaux flew directly from Bordeaux to Corsica.This is the last game before the winter break in Bordeaux. It is an away game against Bastia. In the first round, Bordeaux defeated Bastia at home. This time Vincent does not want to miss this opportunity in the away game.

The lineup that Bordeaux can really use now is actually only one and a half sets. In terms of bench depth, it has completely lost to other multi-line opponents. The main problem is money. If Zidane and Dugarry were not sold at a high price, Bordeaux might not even be able to make a decent lineup now.

Fortunately, Drogba is a person who knows good and bad, and understands that Fan Shang also hates iron and steel, so he silently accepted this decision, and told himself in his heart to work harder.

But after this league, although there are still games in the middle of the week, it is only a French Cup game, and the opponent is the Toulouse Fontaine Club of the French amateur league.So as long as Bordeaux bites its teeth in this league, it can give itself a chance to breathe.

Of course, even these personnel are not something an amateur club can resist. Bordeaux's training-based lineup beat their opponents 4:0. Luoba Yitong, this guy didn't score a single goal today, he either shot a plane or missed the goal. He has been fed to the dog for half a year of shooting training. The face shot in the previous game was also completely lucky. Vincent and Alofs After a study, it was decided that Drogba's training intensity should be strengthened again. Every time he trained, he would practice shooting and score 200 goals in sports games. If he couldn't finish, he would sleep on the training ground.

After qualifying for the UEFA Cup, Bordeaux ushered in the league immediately.The recent consecutive games have made Bordeaux a little tired. Vincent is still not prepared for this intensive schedule. Many players have played consecutively. Although they are in good condition, their physical fitness is about to reach their limit.

The final score of this game was 0:1. Bordeaux won the away game, but Bordeaux also paid a heavy price.The sweeping midfielder Dudial was tackled to the ground during the game and then carried out of the field on a stretcher.The last examination in the hospital revealed a severe sprain to the ankle, which had spread to the bones.Dudial will have to rest for at least three months before he can recover, but it's hard to say whether he will dare to work so hard at that time.This is the first bad news, followed by several more. Right back Toyes was also injured in a collision, but he persisted until the end of the game, but the final diagnosis was a thigh muscle strain. Within a month No need to think about the game.In the end, Papin was the least injured. Although he was also injured, he only needed to rest for half a month before he could play.

"Finally I can take a break." Fan Shang was drinking tea with Francois in the office.

"Congratulations, Vincent," Francois said, "With such excellent results in the first half of the season, I think this season's league championship is basically set."

"Who knows?" Fan Shang was a little smug when he spoke. He was quite satisfied with his performance in the first half of the season. Even now, his undefeated golden body in the league is enough to make Fan Shang's position as solid as a rock. "Football is round. We can't take it lightly. We need to add some combat power during the winter break. I don't know how much Theo can afford?"
