Chapter 171 The end of the league
In the locker room after the game, Fan Shang neither criticized nor praised, but only said, "This game can only be regarded as the first half, there is still a second half, there may be an overtime game, don't think too much, keep it up own state."

Fan Shang’s argument at the post-match press conference was also like this, “This is only half of a series, not even half. The result of this game can’t explain any problems. Find a more suitable tactic as soon as possible during the intermission."

Hodgson's point of view was surprisingly consistent with Fan Shang's. He also felt that the match was only halfway through, and the winner had not yet been decided. This match was just a test for both sides.

There is also a league game between the two UEFA Cup finals. This is the last game of the league. Although Bordeaux's ranking has been determined, Bordeaux still has one goal in this game, which is to keep Papin on the scorer list first place.Now Papan has 2 more goals than No.[-] Givash, this gap should not be small, but for the sake of sake, Fanshang still wants Papan to score in the game, before the game Fanshang specially found Chilavert , Tell him that the penalty kick and the free kick in front of the penalty area in today's game are all given to Papan, in order to let the veteran return an excellent king in the future.

Fortunately, the opponents of this game, Le Havre, have no desires and desires. If they win, they will not be able to enter the European competition, and if they lose, they will not be able to fall into the second division. Already on vacation.

This gave Bordeaux and Papin a great opportunity. In this game, Bordeaux changed from the conservative style of play in the past. Fan Shang didn't even have a sweeping midfielder, so he directly let Sanuno stand in the position of the midfielder. Do organizational work.Now Sanuno is already a bit like Pirlo, whether it is a long pass or a short pass, he is quite accurate, but now his body and defense are still lacking, but another year of training should increase a lot of goals .

The end of the game was to rely on Sanuno's two precise through balls to help Papin break Le Havre's goal twice.In the end, Bordeaux defeated Le Havre 2:0 away.Papin also increased his goals this season from 23 to 25, so although Jivas also broke out in the last game and scored two goals in a row, he was still not Papin's opponent, and unfortunately missed himself The first personal honor in a career.

The 1996-1997 Ligue [-] season ended in such a calm manner. In fact, for Bordeaux, the league ended in the penultimate fifth round, and the last four rounds were Vincent's show for young players and substitute players. own chance.

In the end, Bordeaux ranked first, and No.2 was taken away by Monaco without any suspense. These two teams won the tickets for next year's Champions Cup.Bordeaux played from the group stage, while No.2 Monaco needs to start fighting from the second round of the knockout round.

The teams from No.6 to No.[-] will qualify for the UEFA Cup next year. They are Paris Saint-Germain, Metz, Nantes and Auxerre respectively. The No.[-] to No.[-] teams can participate in the Intertoto Cup What made Vincent feel the most irritating was Guingamp. This rough team actually participated in the European Cup Winners Cup next year because of the Bordeaux Triple Crown to participate in the Champions Cup.

Bordeaux flew to Milan non-stop on the second day after the league ended to prepare for their last game of the season. This game was held at San Siro, oh no, it should be called San Siro at this time.

Where there is relegation, there is promotion, but Fan Shang found that the French Football Association has a taste of heaven. For next year's World Cup, they reduced the number of teams in Ligue [-] by two, and four teams were relegated. There are only two teams, namely Ligue [-] champion Charruto and runner-up Toulouse. These two teams are also closely related to Bordeaux. Needless to say, Charruto, three players on loan from Bordeaux have become their constant players in the second half of the season. An important force in the leadership position.Toulouse is because of their head coach, the head coach who led Toulouse into Ligue [-] is the legend of Bordeaux, Alan Giresse.And another veteran team Saint-Etienne, who has loaned players from Bordeaux, barely escaped the relegation zone with the help of two loan players from Bordeaux.

The remaining three relegated teams, Caen, Nancy and Lille, all have 37 points, and they are only three points away from Rennes, who are one place higher than them to avoid relegation. The net difference of Caen and Nancy There are even more balls than Rennes.It is also worth mentioning that Lens, who Le Maire took over halfway, successfully dragged the second-to-last team when he took over to the seventh-to-last team, and successfully avoided relegation. It is said that Lens is now preparing to fight He renewed a new contract.

However, Fan Shang found out that although the Meazza stadium is famous, its turf quality is actually very average. There are games, sometimes even two, and the density of such games seriously affects the maintenance of the turf.

"It's a matter of the system. If we can participate in the Champions Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup together, maybe we will buy some people." Fan Shang actually didn't want that rough Guingamp team to go to the European continent.

The same team was relegated. Nice's relegation time and Bordeaux's winning time were almost at the same time, so today's Ligue [-] is not fiercely contested at the top, nor is it fierce at the bottom.

In fact, Fan Shang had already discovered this problem when he came last year, but as a rookie at that time, he didn't care about it. But when he discovered this problem again today, Fan Shang felt that he could still make some articles.

"Welcome to the second and last match of the 1996-1997 UEFA Cup Final" Today Charle Piddo and Platini appeared in the commentary at the Meazza Stadium, "Today I and Michele Came to Italy to bring you the commentary of this game."

"To be honest, since we entered May, we seem to have become Bordeaux's own TV station. Let's count, this is already the fourth Bordeaux game we have broadcast live in May," Charles Biduo watched Looking at the material in hand, "I think we are very familiar with Bordeaux now, right Michelle?"

"Yes, in April we actually broadcast several Bordeaux games. This team is mainly defensive and counterattack. If they encounter some strong teams, they will also adopt a compressed defense." Platini added.
