Chapter 142 The end of the signing
What Saint-Etienne needs is a central defender and a midfielder. Vincent delineated two players in his team. The reply to Saint-Etienne was that Sagnol joined for free, and Bordeaux was loaned to Saint-Etienne for free. Etienne central defenders Gernay and Anselin.

This is a bit like a deal with Charruto. Saint-Etienne hopes to get an additional 30 US dollars. Fan Shang nodded this time, but Fan Shang decided to give the 30 US dollars to Saint-Etienne after the end of the season.For Gernay and Anselin, the two Ligue [-] substitutes and the absolute main players in Ligue [-], Saint-Etienne happily accepted this deal. Finally, Vincent also said that if Saint-Etienne needs it next year, Bordeaux Will continue to loan players to them.

There is another trumpet for young players to level up. After completing these transfers, the number of Bordeaux has not increased but decreased. Five players have left and four players have come. Now there is only one Makelele.Bordeaux will gather on the 6th after the winter break. Before this time, I hope that François' efficiency will not disappoint Vincent.

As a rookie in the coaching circle, Fan Shang is not only busy with club signings, but also studying at home during the holidays. He actually wants to go to Paris, but when he thinks of Bordeaux's fourth-line battle in the second half of the season , Fan Shang resolutely gave up all superfluous activities, let's raise his own level first.

The holidays always go by quickly, and the 6th will arrive in a blink of an eye. New and old players have arrived one after another. The newcomers are still relatively unfamiliar with the environment, so they stand together, while other Bordeaux players are chatting and joking with each other.Fan Shang looked at Lizarazu with some disappointment, the captain's performance today made Fan Shang frown, but he didn't do what a captain should do.

The first one to walk over was Papin. This veteran is indeed the player Fan Shang relies on now. His career of more than ten years is not only on the court, but also the experience off the court should be learned by other players.

Fan Shang walked out of the office at this time, came to the side of the training field, called Lizarazu, and just pointed in the direction of Papan and the newcomers for him to see.Lizarazu's expression was very tangled, and he didn't understand what Fan Shang meant. Fan Shang shook his head, and he didn't want to make any eye movements, and said slowly, "Vicente, you are the captain of Bordeaux now, right?"

Lizarazu didn't know why, and wondered in his heart, you, Fan Shang, asked me to be the captain, and you still ask me now. "Yes, boss, have you forgotten this?"

"It's fine if you know it yourself, look over there." Fan Shang curled his lips, and then pointed to Papan's side again.Then he murmured in his heart, if he didn't understand that Lizarazu was really hopeless, Fan Shang would have to think about the captain again.

It may have been for 1 minute, during which Lizarazu kept looking at Fan Shang's face, and thought about what Fan Shang said just now, Lizarazu suddenly understood, and then imitated Fan Shang and took a picture On his own forehead, "Understood, boss, I will learn from Pierre." Then Lizarazu walked towards Papan and the others, greeted the new players, and took them to introduce to his teammates. .Papan turned his head to look at Fan Shang, Fan Shang secretly pointed his finger at Lizarazu, Papan nodded, obviously understood what Fan Shang meant.

The final score of the League Cup with Marseille was fixed at 3:0. Bordeaux not only got the chance to advance, but also trained the team.So after the game, Fan Shang held the hand of Marseille coach Roland Courbis and didn't want to let go. My benefactor, if I don't have you as a substitute lineup, I really have to spend some more trouble.

The next thing to consider is how to win the few cup games before the start of the league. The first game next Sunday will be against Marseille at home.The team did not lose any of the main players during the winter break, and also introduced international players like Makelele, and the team's strength continued unabated.Several injured players, Dudial and Toyes also have players to fill the positions left by them.

"I'm Claude Makelele, a defensive midfielder. I have played against everyone before, and we will be teammates in the future."

"I am Florent Malouda from Charruto"

"I'm Willy Sagnol, right back"

After 45 minutes of the game, Bordeaux has led Marseille by two goals.In the second half, Fan Shang even boldly replaced three new players at the beginning of the game, so that all five imported players had already appeared on the stage.

Although Luo Teng is young, he is still good as Pires' stand-in, with similar characteristics. Although he is not as chic as Pires, he has his own style of breakthrough and bottoming, and he can also accomplish what Fan Shang asked for very well.

Today's training atmosphere is very good. It seems that the players have a good holiday. Under the integration of Lizarazu and Papan, the new players have also quickly integrated into the team.

Vincent checked that the time was almost up, and then clapped his hands for the players to assemble. After some irrelevant opening remarks, he called Lizarazu, "Vicente, let's exercise your responsibilities."

Makelele is here, and this is Fan Shang's most important signing during the winter break. This transfer has spent all of Bordeaux's transfer budget. Although the transaction price of 300 million US dollars is not low, Fan Shang still feels that it is more than enough value.One is that Bordeaux has strengthened its own strength, and the other is that it has reduced the strength of its opponent Nantes in a disguised form. Although they also used a sum of money to introduce a few players, Vincent looked at the names and shook his head. I heard that Nantes will sink in the second half of the season.

Fan Shang was very satisfied with Lizarazu's reaction this time, and he began to introduce the new players to the players, saying that this was an official introduction and he just got to know each other in advance.

Gallas took over Song's position today, but now in Vincent's mind, whenever there is a gap in the back line, Gallas fills in. He is the best panacea for Bordeaux's back line.

Marseille's goal this year is actually relegation. They have no interest in various cup competitions, and directly put a bunch of substitute players to deal with Bordeaux.

In fact, there are only two people who are suitable to play, Makelele and Sagnol, both of whom have been the team's main force for the first half of the season, and are more adaptable to the game state.

Fan Shang's game against Marseille was actually to test the integration of the team's newcomers. During the game, under the guidance of the minimum goal of promotion, Fan Shang dispatched the new players to the maximum extent.

Does this mean that Bordeaux have to get used to the new lineup? Fan Shang boldly began to practice some new tactics.For example, let Sagnol make 45-degree crosses in a row. This stunt of Sagnol was also discovered by Vincent during training. His breakthrough and speed are not as strong as Lizarazu, but his crosses, Especially the 45-degree cross is particularly accurate, but now Bordeaux's center forward is not on, if Drogba is on the court, the effect will be more obvious.

Fanshang is still very satisfied with their performance. For example, Malouda, he was given the position of full-back by coach Sharuto before, but now Fanshang gave him the position of right midfielder, and Nedvi in ​​the team Germany as a substitute, although the styles of the two are very different, a slight change in tactics is fine.

"I'm Jerome Roten, I'm a left midfielder and I'm from Paris." Paris?Fan Shang asked with a question mark, didn't I poach this guy from Caen?let him
"My name is William Gallas. I am a defender. I transferred from Caen. I hope to have a happy cooperation in the future."

Bordeaux is still lucky. These three consecutive cup matches are all played at their own home courts. The French Cup match is sandwiched between two league games, and the opponent is Cannes.

There is nothing to say about this game. Bordeaux will definitely not capsize against such an underdog at home, but the final result is not very satisfactory to Vincent. The score is only 1:0. The player who scored the goal was Didier Drogba .

This goal was produced entirely by the accumulation of numbers. Drogba won no less than 20 chances to attack the goal in this game, most of which were crosses given to him from both sides. In his non-stop bombing, The Cannes goalkeeper finally dropped the ball and Drogba poked the ball into the goal with his long legs.

Drogba who scored the goal was very excited, but when he ran to Fan Shang, he saw Fan Shang's gloomy face. Fan Shang pointed at him and then gave Alofs another hard look.
