Chapter 168 The UEFA Cup Final

Fan Shang cannot accept interviews now, he must remain mysterious, if an exclusive media interview is published now, no matter what kind of newspaper it is, the effect of his previous closed training will be greatly reduced.

However, Fan Shang, a reporter from China, was not too good at refusing, "It's definitely not possible now, but after the UEFA Cup final, I think I still have time."

Chen Yi was a little disappointed when he first heard that it was not working, but the second half of the sentence made him instantly turn from disappointment to excitement, "Great! Thank you, Mr. Fan Shang, how can I find you then?" Chen Yi was still a A more careful person.

"Hehe, that's right." Fan Shang nodded, "Remember a phone number, call him when the time comes, and let him arrange it." After finishing speaking, Fan Shang gave Chen Yi the phone number of Michelle Tinisso, and The media communication is left to this old man.With Chen Yi's repeated thanks, Fan Shang drove away.

Fan Shang himself felt a little cold, but he told himself in his heart not to be too enthusiastic, it would be good if he could not get it. After all, Fan Shang had never received an exclusive interview in France, and this might be his first exclusive interview .

After maintaining the mystery for three days, Bordeaux ushered in the challenge of Inter Milan.

"Okay, follow our own rhythm, don't worry about the opponent, we just do our own thing, we have reached this point, we have to do our best." Fan Shang said very flatly, but the expressions of the players below were all Seriously, they know the importance of this game.

Fan Shang played a formation of 4312 in this game. He did not choose either Roten or Malouda, but chose to send Dudial to form a three-back midfielder. The reason for this choice is to strengthen the defense and secondly It was Dudial who had experience in last year's UEFA Cup final, which was better than Roten and Malouda.

Bordeaux goalkeeper Chilavert today, defense Lizarazu, Song, Gama LS Nior, three midfielders Dacourt, Makelele, Dudi Aier, Nedved as a free agent, two The first strikers are still Wiltord and Shevchenko.

Compared with Juventus and AC Milan in the same period, Inter Milan's lineup is still a little bit worse, but compared to Bordeaux, Inter Milan is still a level higher now, at least they have passed through the highest level of Serie A. Baptized.Especially their defense, led by the great captain Bergomi, and several others are also Italy's top defenders.

In the first 15 minutes of the game, both sides were in the stage of probing. Inter Milan controlled the ball in the midfield and kept observing Bordeaux, while Bordeaux retreated to his familiar position, ready to welcome Inter Milan at any time. attack.

After 15 minutes, Inter Milan made several tentative attacks against Bordeaux. Although they were blocked, they clearly felt that Bordeaux's counterattack was not as sharp as they imagined.So start pressing high, start attacking unscrupulously in the Bordeaux half.

This is actually what Fan Shang wanted to see. Fan Shang didn't do anything in closed training, just practiced as usual, at most he practiced penalty kicks and free kicks. The closed training was just to confuse the opponent. Fan Shang knew that Hodgson's life was not easy recently. Hodgson had pinned all his hopes on the UEFA Cup final. If he didn't win the championship, he would pack up and return to England.

After 15 minutes, Hodgson was impatient to command loudly on the sidelines. Regardless of whether the players heard it or not, Vincent had been on the sidelines since the 15th minute. He felt that he was more tired than the players. If an attack fails, he will make some exaggerated gestures to express his remorse.

Inter Milan did not rush to attack at home in Bordeaux today. Although their offensive power is not weak, the head coach Hodgson deliberately asked the players to control the rhythm first. See what the road is in Bordeaux today. He can't guess that Bordeaux is in closed training. What exactly did he train, and he didn't dare to expose his strength prematurely.

Inter Milan sent a 442 formation. The goalkeeper is the current No. [-] goalkeeper Pagliuca in Italy, the back line, Bergomi, Pistone, Galante, Paganen, and the midfielder Zanetti. Winter, Sforza, Fresci, two forwards, Ganz, the terror Ivan Zamorano.Sitting on the bench are French international Djorkaeff, England midfielder Paul Ince, future manager Branca, Nigerian striker Kanu and other famous players.

Although the main midfielder of Inter Milan today has two defensive midfielders, they are not three meat grinders like Bordeaux. Sforza is obviously a technical midfielder. Although Winter is biased towards engineers, But his skills are relatively comprehensive, unlike the Bordeaux who are obviously prominent in defense, and rely on the help of his teammates in other aspects.However, the offense of the two men was like a layer of cellophane in front of the three meat grinders, which could be broken as soon as they were poked. Sforza's passing accuracy was greatly reduced when he was constantly in contact with the body, causing the two forwards Zamorano and Ganz basically couldn't get the ball, and even if he retreated outside the penalty area to get the ball occasionally, there were defenders following them.

"It's not going to help. If it doesn't work, you should go up and kick it yourself." Fan Shang thought as he looked at Hodgson who put his hand to his mouth and shouted at the players on the field.

When the match lasted about 30 minutes, Vincent couldn't sit still anymore. Inter Milan besieged Bordeaux for 15 minutes. Although Bordeaux fell into a comprehensive defense, they were able to make several effective counterattacks every time before. Today they faced Inter Milan. Shevchenko and Wiltord were a little lost in Milan's steel defense line. Now Vincent has discovered that the Italian club's defense is really good. In Ligue [-], basically when the whole line is on the line, their defenders will spread out. , and finally only one person was left.And now the four defenders of Inter Milan maintain their positions very well even when the team is pressing across the board. Everyone's spacing is just right, especially the two central defenders Galante and Bergomi , These two are obviously the inheritors of the Italian chain defense, which is much better than Vincent's self-developed bus.

However, Fan Shang also had to let the team test it out. Fan Shang asked the two forwards to move to the side. It is more difficult for the two central defenders to break through, so try the two full-backs.

So Bordeaux made long passes to the left and right sides several times in a row, trying to make a fuss on the wing. Unfortunately, although Inter Milan's full-backs had some space to assist forward, they were still the two central defenders. Can always appear in time on the way forward for Bordeaux wide players.
