road to victory

Chapter 195 Steady
Seeing that Fan Shang used such foul tactics, Tigana was also very angry, and kept negotiating with the fourth official, pointing at Fan Shang from time to time.

Fan Shang knew what Tigana said in his heart, and gave Tigana a disdainful expression on the surface, which made the already very angry Tigana even more annoyed.The fourth official was also fed up with Tigana's temper, and called the referee to warn Tigana. Tigana, who wanted to continue arguing, could only curse and return to his seat.

When Tigana looked over, Vincent winked at him vigorously, which added fuel to Tigana's emotions.Angrily, Tigana ran to the fourth official's place to complain against Fan Shang. When he saw the fourth official's gaze, Fan Shang shrugged helplessly.

The fourth official nodded to Vincent, and then very politely invited Tigana back to his seat.

Now that the game has gone on for 65 minutes, Gattuso's playing and Vincent's killing tactics, so Bordeaux's defense in the off-duty game is much more stable than in the first half, except for more direct free kicks.

In the 70th minute, Monaco made another substitution. Benabia, who had been disturbed by fouls and did not dare to touch the ball, was replaced by Collins, a Scot with a tougher style of play.

When Fan Shang saw the Scot on the field, he suddenly wanted to play some tricks.If Vincent does not make a move this year, Gattuso will go to Scotland to train for a while, and his wildness will grow the fastest at that time. Now that he is not going to Scotland, his wildness is also going to be found in Scottish players.Immediately, Vincent called Gattuso, pointed him to Collins, and asked him to follow Collins.

Collins is also an absolutely bloody guy. He has studied football and rugby since he was a child. Gattuso, a pretty boy, and this Scottish tough guy started to fight each other.

Gattuso steals the ball and knocks Collins to the ground. Collins stands up and pats his socks, and continues to play as if nothing happened.Fan Shang was stunned for a moment, he didn't even perform a show after falling like this, tough guy.

In the following period of time, Gattuso and Collins had several collisions. No matter who fell to the ground, they would quickly stand up and continue to play.

While watching the game, Fan Shang pointed out to the players on the bench, "Have you seen that, professional players should behave like this!" Fan Shang pointed to Collins and said.Although Collins's skills are mediocre, Vincent admires his mental state.

But as far as the situation on the court is concerned, Collins' appearance did not change the overall situation, and the situation of one offense and one defense after the start of the second half was still maintained on the court.

Tigana, who was still complacent in the first half, lost the arrogance of the first half and started pacing up and down the edge of the field, and kept complaining to the fourth official about Bordeaux's big moves. .

Although Bordeaux made more fouls and made more moves, they were very clean. They either shoveled the ball or shoveled people. There will never be a situation where they deliberately kick people without touching the ball.

In the 83rd minute of the game, in the second half of the game, Monaco was severely under-supported in the midfield. Henry relied on his personal ability to forcefully cut into the penalty area from the wing, flashed an empty kicker and shot the goal. The ball hit the post hard and popped out of the baseline.This was the most threatening attack so far in the second half.

Fan Shang is actually a little anxious now. Bordeaux's defense is back on track, but due to the state of the game, if it is dragged into overtime and then a penalty shootout, Fan Shang really can't guarantee whether the Bordeaux players can last for such a long time.So Fan Shang did not dare to move the remaining two substitutions, hoping that these two cards can help the team at the last moment.

In the 85th minute, Tigana finally made the last adjustment. Trezeguet was substituted for Diao, who had a relatively average performance throughout the game.Monaco withdrew Henry to the winger position. Judging from the formation, it is still 343, but when they really attack, the four forwards rush to Bordeaux's defense line.

Having more forwards does not mean that the offense will be smoother. In fact, having more forwards will affect the rhythm of the offense. If the ball reaches a midfielder, passing will be their first choice. If the ball is shot at the striker's feet It was their first choice. In this way, Monaco completed 5 shots in 3 minutes, but the positions of the shots were not the best positions. The three shots did not pose any threat to Bordeaux.

The 90-minute game ended just after Monaco's shot, and the score was still 0:0. Now it's time to start overtime. Every player in Vincent asked about their physical fitness. Fortunately, it was not too difficult. There is no problem playing for 30 minutes, and Gattuso feels that he will be able to leverage for another 90 minutes.

Overtime began soon. Monaco still relies on four strikers tossing and turning in Bordeaux's defense. There may be opportunities, but none of them are good. All four want to end the attack by themselves. Bordeaux uses this to try to defend the most sidelines. The two on the road shot, Monaco seemed to shoot a lot, but Bordeaux's goal was as solid as Mount Tai.

Gradually, Monaco's attack also slowed down, and their physical fitness had problems. The 100-minute strong attack still failed to break through Bordeaux's defense line, which caused them not only physical fitness, but also psychological changes. More shots are more frequent. Before, you still have to shoot in the penalty area, even if you are not in the penalty area, you have to shoot from the edge of the penalty area.Now almost as long as you can see the goal, you start to shoot, 30 meters, 40 meters, and even Collins took a long shot just after passing the midfield.

When Fan Shang saw Monaco like this, he put his heart in his stomach, at least he could drag it until the penalty shootout.But seeing the Monaco players who couldn't run anymore, Vincent had a new idea.

After the start of the second half of overtime, Vincent replaced two players in a row. Dacourt and Dudir were replaced by Ballack and Belleron.

Tigana was completely confused about these two players, and he didn't know where Fan Shang got them from. They were completely unknown. One was tall and bulky and the other was thin. What could they do.

At this time, Bordeaux's formation started from Makelele, then Ballack, Belleron and Shevchenko stood in a vertical line, while Nedved and Gattuso were two maneuvering points, and one was the main attacker. A guardian.

When Monaco sent the ball to Chilavert again and slowly receded towards the midfield, Chilavert changed his previous habit of controlling his feet and then kicking his feet. This time he directly threw the ball to Ballack. underfoot.
