Chapter 200 Leading
In the 35th minute, Pires split the side to Lizarazu. This time Lizarazu finally broke through his former teammate Toyes by relying on speed and technique, and successfully made a cross. Personally flanked, but he was still able to grab the first point. This time Papin was strictly watched by the midfielder who returned to the penalty area to assist in the defense. Drogba increased the power of some headers and said directly. The ball was returned to Nedved on the edge of the penalty area. Nedved was not ambiguous at all. He had already made his moves when the ball was still in the air. When the ball was about ten centimeters away from the ground, Nedved Wade volleyed directly with his foot, the ball was very powerful and the position was too right.The goalkeeper judged the route of the ball, but he didn't dare to catch it, so he could only hit the ball with both fists.

In the 39th minute, Bordeaux got a free kick on the right. This kind of free kick on both sides is usually taken by Pires.Pires kicked the ball very high this time, and it was Drogba again, who still dragged two people to grab the first point. The goal is still relatively far away, and the ball speed is already very slow when it reaches the goalkeeper, and the goalkeeper catches it easily.

In the 46th minute, Bordeaux once again passed Sagnol's 45-degree diagonal pass. Drogba's physical strength had already been exhausted in the collision with the two central defenders at this time, but facing this first half At the last chance, Drogba gathered all the remaining strength in his body, threw off the two oil bottles with a sudden force, and vacated without obstruction. This time he did not attack the goal, but still made the ball Gave it to teammates.

At this time, Pires and Lizarazu, two people on the left, have entered Metz's penalty area. Drogba's pass is aimed at these two people. When Lizarazu came up to mark him, Pires slipped the ball to Lizarazu from the space between the two defenders. Lizarazu took a step forward, and at a position close to 0 degrees, lifted the ball to Lizarazu. Left foot shot.

The ball actually spun a bit to the outside of the goal, but Metz's keeper did Lizarazu a big favor this time around.He was slippery on the move, so he went down to catch the ball a little early, and Lizarazu's shot hit his elbow, and the ball flew into Metz's goal.

"Oh..." Fan Shang showed a look of surprise on the sidelines at this time. He didn't expect that Bordeaux would be so lucky today and score another goal before the end of the first half.

Lizarazu was thrilled after scoring his first goal of the season and his first in two seasons.

Metz is now 0:2 behind Bordeaux at home. At this time, the first half of the game ended with Bordeaux's goal. Metz's players returned to their home team's locker room one by one dejected.

Bordeaux is full of enthusiasm and is still immersed in the celebration of Lizarazu's goal.Fan Shang didn't say much, but went back to the locker room alone.Then just waiting, after a while the players walked back to the locker room talking and laughing.

"What do you think of your performance in the first half?" Fan Shang said looking at the laughing players below.

Players, you look at me, I look at you, and then nod a little unnaturally.

"Really? You think you performed well after two goals? Think about it for yourself, how much luck is involved in these two goals." The first goal is hard to say, but the second goal by Lizarazu is sure. It's mostly luck.

The team members stopped talking at this moment, but all stared at Fan Shang.

"Okay, I was joking just now, your performance today is not bad," Fan Shang smiled, "but Metz will definitely change in the second half, you need to work harder to continue to suppress Metz."

"Didier, can you still run?" Vincent looked at Drogba who was still panting heavily and said, "You can hold on for another 10 minutes later and use all your strength to consume the two central defenders. Drogba raised his head with difficulty, then nodded to Vincent.

Of course, Drogba's real physical fitness is not so bad, but this is his first league game. The pressure, tension, and extraordinary confrontation all caused his physical fitness to decline rapidly.

After the start of the second half, Metz made a substitution adjustment in order to change the situation on the field. Rodriguez replaced Lukic. The Yugoslav striker was almost invisible in the first half.

Metz's midfielders moved more obviously than in the first half, so their defense line also began to advance slowly, and they began to compete with Bordeaux in the midfield again.

Metz has stabilized his position, and this Joel Muller has enough control over the team.

However, they are still only competing near the midfield, and they are still a little far away from Bordeaux's restricted area. Of course, the distance from Metz's restricted area has also gradually opened up.

The game once again fell into a stalemate. This time it was Bordeaux who fell first. In an attack, Drogba leaned on the central defender to protect the ball. Just as he was about to move to the two sides, another central defender came from The back side steals the ball he was protecting in front of him. Drogba really has no strength to chase back, so he can only stand still and pant heavily. The central defender behind him is also in a panic. , he also sat down on the ground, panting worse than Drogba.

Not to mention here, the central defender who steals the ball quickly launched an attack. Metz also went on the wing this time. Now the wing is officially the weakest gap in Bordeaux. The sidewalk is a complete vacuum.

This time when Metz left, Bordeaux left, and Strasser dribbled the ball forward. Dacourt made up for his own left at this time, and stuck closely to Strasser who dribbled the ball. Terrasser couldn't advance to the penalty area at this time, so he could only be assigned to the wing. When he distributed the ball, he really didn't know whether there were any players on his side.

After putting forward the ball, Strasser ran forward again, but his eyes kept staring at the ball. Finally, he saw a foot stepping on the ball before the sideline. He hurriedly looked up and saw Metz With the jersey, he can finally continue to run into the penalty area with confidence.

It turned out to be Metz's right back Toyes who got the ball. At this time, Vincent was the most surprised. He coached Toyes for a year and a half, because he didn't find any offensive cells in him, so Fan Shang readily let Toyes go to Metz in the summer.Fan Shang never expected that Toyes would have developed the skill of advancing in Metz.
