Chapter 198 Easy Victory
penalty!This time it’s Jietu again. Today he is completely Bordeaux’s mole in Monaco. Fan Shang wants to give him a bonus. Once he was too negative and caused the first goal. This time he is too active and may give it to him. Bordeaux's second goal.

Barthez's heart is bleeding now, he just made a decision, and was destroyed by his pig teammates.Chilavert, who took a penalty kick from Bordeaux, can be said to have missed every shot.

Today Chilavert also did not have any accidents. He shot vigorously. Although Barthez touched the ball with his hand, he still did not change direction, and the ball went into the goal without turning back.

2:0 Bordeaux successfully grabbed the start of the game. In less than 30 minutes, Bordeaux led by two goals, and Monaco has yet to find its true direction.

Tigana, who was still furious just now, has lost his temper at this time. He shook his head helplessly and sat back on the coach's bench. It seemed that he was disappointed with the team's performance.He asked several backup defenders to warm up, and it seemed that Jietu's time was running out.

Vincent continued to stand on the sidelines. He hoped that Bordeaux could continue to put pressure on Monaco. It would be even better if he could make another goal.

In the 37th minute, Lizarazu made a pass from the bottom, and Shevchenko took the lead and shook his head to attack the goal. Barthez relied on his flexibility to push the ball with his hands, but it did not hit far. The two central defenders and Weir Todd went to grab this spot together.It's Jietu again, what is misfortune never comes singly, blessings never come twice? After making two mistakes in a row, Jietu has now made a third mistake.

Jietu was the first to grab the ball this time, and then prepared to clear the siege with his big foot, but his movements were too slow. Before he could kick the ball, Wiltord tapped the ball with his toes. Kicked a kick in the air and fell to the ground by himself, while Barthez had just fallen to the ground, and before he had time to make a second reaction, the ball rolled into Monaco's goal for the third time.

Poor Jettoo!Fan Shang felt sad for him.

After seeing this goal, Tigana couldn't bear it anymore. Before Monaco kicked off again, he replaced Jietu and replaced it with a young player, Christaval.

Everyone knows what the 3:0 score means to Bordeaux. After spending the last few minutes of the first half, Bordeaux returned to the locker room with a 3-goal lead.

Vincent first praised the team's performance, especially Belleron, who made an assist today and made a penalty kick. He also controlled Bordeaux's offensive rhythm very well.However, Vincent replaced Belleron at the beginning of the second half and replaced him with Dacourt, once again forming the defensive formation of double midfielders that Bordeaux is most accustomed to.

With this formation and a score of 3:0, even though Monaco attacked like crazy in the second half, it did not have any effect on Bordeaux. Vincent replaced Gattuso and Gallas in the second half to strengthen the defense. The final score was fixed at 3:0, and the second half almost became garbage time.

After the game, Tigana didn't go to the press conference at all, but just sent an assistant coach to say a few words and left.

"Mr. Fan Shang, will Bordeaux change the previous tactics of defensive counterattack or even staunch defense this year?" The reporters watched today's game, and this is the question that appeared in most people's minds.

"It's hard for me to say. Tactics are mainly aimed at opponents. Different opponents must use different tactics," Fan Shang replied, "If we meet our opponents in the National League in the League Cup this year, we will definitely not Adopt a defensive strategy, if we encounter a strong opponent in the Champions League, we will not be so stupid as to attack them. Generally speaking, it still depends on the opponent."

"Do you mean to focus on defense?" A reporter asked

"No, I mean we will adjust our tactics at any time to suit different opponents." Fan Shang said with a smile.

"Do you think Bordeaux can successfully defend the league title this year?" The reporters continued to ask.

"League champion?" Fan Shang said with a smile, "This is the first round of the league, so it is too early to say the champion. But if Monaco continues to maintain its runner-up position in the league, why can't we become the champion?"

Monaco's face darkened, while the other reporters laughed.But no one said anything wrong with what Fan Shang said. Bordeaux beat Monaco last year. At the beginning of this season, they won two consecutive games. No one would doubt Bordeaux's strength.

The media on the second day were unanimously optimistic about Bordeaux's defending league title this season. They analyzed that Paris Saint-Germain, the team at the top of the standings last year, suffered a great loss after the departure of the old captain Ray. Although Nantes and Metz have good strength, But in front of Bordeaux, it is still not enough. Monaco was originally the most competitive, but these two games gave Monaco a death sentence. This season, let's honestly fight for the second place.As for others, of course, the possibility of dark horses cannot be ruled out. Auxerre, Marseille and Lens are all teams that may come out to spoil the situation, but as far as the first round is concerned, their quality has not yet been seen.

At the end of the first round, Bordeaux ranked first in the standings with a three goal difference advantage.

In the second round, the Bordeaux opponents are still strong enemies, and they will challenge the powerful Metz away.Metz doesn't have any outstanding stars now, but it should have been highlighted that Pires and Song were recruited to Bordeaux by Fan Shang early, so Metz still relies on the overall team.

To be honest, Fan Shang doesn't like this kind of team that relies on the whole, because they have no focus, where there are weaknesses and where there are strengths.

After studying Metz's lineup and videos for a while, Fan Shang finally found some gaps in the whole, and Fan Shang was going to seize these things to deal with Metz.

On August 8nd, Bordeaux entered its first game after August, at St. Simfrian Stadium in Metz. The second round of the 2-1997 Ligue 1998 season between Metz and Bordeaux officially started. .

Metz's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Ledizzi, defenders, Carstendosi, Pierre, Garrett and Toyes, midfielder, Boffin, Blanchard, Menirou, S. Trusser, striker Lukic, Istyrol.Among them, Toyes and Istirol are both old players of Bordeaux, especially Toyes was still the main right back of Bordeaux at this time last year.

Bordeaux have changed for three consecutive games, the defense is still the same, goalkeeper Chilavert, four defenders Lizarazu, Song, Gamara and Sagnol, midfielder Pires, Dacourt, Makelay Lai and Nedved, the forwards were replaced by Papin and Drogba, this is the first time for the young Warcraft to start in the league.
