Chapter 212 Fighting Türkiye Again
The overall situation of today's game has been decided, and Fan Shang was chatting with several assistant coaches very relaxedly in the last few minutes.

When the game ended, all the fans stood up and applauded Bordeaux's three wonderful goals.Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, the players began to walk around the field to pay tribute to the fans, and Fan Shang also participated in it.

Fan Shang brought Belleron to the press conference after the game. This time, Belleron participated in the press conference for the first time after arriving in Bordeaux, so he felt a little at a loss for various issues. Fan Shang had talked to him before. It is said that if you don't want to answer, you can say it is inconvenient, so Belleron ended his first press conference with a dozen inconveniences.

In other European Champions Cup games that ended at the same time, most of the strong teams won. In some strong dialogues, Juventus beat Feinord 5:1, and Newcastle beat Barcelona 3:2. .The biggest upset of this round appeared on Bordeaux's old rival Monaco. Although their strength is not enough in front of the European teams, but today when facing Sporting Lisbon, which is not as strong as their own, Monaco is lost. Lisbon, they were in the same predicament as Gothenburg, and they ran out of substitutions prematurely. In the end, they swallowed three shots in the away game and lost 0:3 to Sporting Lisbon.

After the first round, Bordeaux overwhelmed Bayern with an advantage of one more goal difference and occupied the first place in the group. Bayern Munich won Besiktas 2:0 in this round and now ranks second in the group, third and fourth It is Besiktas and Gothenburg with 0 points.

The good start of the Champions Cup made Bordeaux very happy. Theo also made a special visit to cheer up the players, and promised that if they can achieve good results in the Champions Cup, the bonus will be huge.

But what is misfortune never comes singly, luck never comes twice. In the league after the Champions League victory, Bordeaux did not continue their good form in the Champions League.

In the face of Vincent's bitter master Strasbourg, the two teams played a quiet 90-minute match, and the final score was as dull as the situation on the field. The score of 0:0 ushered Bordeaux in the league. Two draws.

The score is not the biggest problem. The most serious thing is that Bordeaux suffered an injury for the first time this season, and the injury was Bordeaux's main striker Shevchenko this year.After Shevchenko injured the tarsus last season, Shevchenko was overturned by Ismail in a counterattack collision this time, causing leg muscle damage and needing to rest for one to two months.

A week later, Bordeaux faced Marseille at home. Vincent used the partnership of Wiltord and Papin in the forward line, and the final effect was not bad. Each of them scored a goal. Bordeaux beat Marseille 2-0 at home.

In fact, Marseille's lineup this year has been greatly improved compared with last year. They introduced a large number of well-known stars in the summer, the main central defender Blanco of the French national team, former Bordeaux striker Dugari, and Italian Pulsatilla Lavane. Li and so on.

But at this stage, they have not been effectively glued together. Their head coach Kulbis has not yet formulated a tactic for these stars to play a role. In today's game, the old Bordeaux player Dugarry actually made a substitute. .

However, this 44-year-old young coach is quite capable, and he has also worked as a head coach in Bordeaux for 3 years.This first round of the cycle may not be enough for Marseille, but in the second stage, if these stars can be integrated into Marseille's system, their combat effectiveness will be considerable.

After the end of the league, the second round of the Champions League group also followed. This time Bordeaux will go to Istanbul to challenge Besiktas.The crowd of fans in the stands last year, now that Fan Shang thinks about it, he still feels a little scared.

Besiktas fans actually didn't shout very loudly, but the most frightening thing about them was clapping their hands and stomping their feet in unison, especially the stomping, which made people feel like the stadium was about to collapse.In addition, during the last away game, some discordant slogans and voices appeared in the stands. Bordeaux also appealed to UEFA on this matter, and UEFA also punished Besiktas.Unexpectedly, it is really a narrow road between enemies. They met again in the UEFA Cup last year and this year in the Champions Cup.

With the previous experience, this time Bordeaux only came to Istanbul one day earlier, and the training and stepping on the field were directly combined into one step.Moreover, before arriving at the hotel in Istanbul, Bordeaux also deliberately communicated with the Besiktas club, hoping to be free from the influence of local fans at night.

Although Besiktas have a strong style of play, they are still very professional.After Bordeaux made its own request, the Besiktas club also successfully communicated with the local police, who will be responsible for the security of the hotel where Bordeaux stayed.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, so that the players in Bordeaux could have a good rest for a night and use their full physical fitness to meet the next day's game.

Besiktas' lineup this year is not much different from last year, only minor repairs have been made on a few substitutes.

Compared with last year's starting lineup, this year's Besiktas has changed several positions. The goalkeeper is Fafus, and the four defenders are Dunche, Zavr, Ozaran, Erkan, among the four. Field, Mehmet, Yangkov, Taifur, Kocaeli, Nigerian strikers Amokachi and Oktay.Except for the midfielders who have changed a lot compared to last year, the back line and forward line have not changed. Last year's main goalkeeper Marmic abdicated from the No. [-] goalkeeper to the No. [-] goalkeeper this year due to his age.

Bordeaux is still a regular 442, goalkeeper Chilavert, four defenders Lizarazu, Song, Gamara and Sagnol, double midfielders Dacourt and Makelele, midfielder Pires and Ned Wade, forwards Wiltord and Papin.

Bordeaux is playing an away game today. Before the game, Vincent told the players that it is enough to get a draw. The main thing is to pay attention to the safety of life and always beware of debris outside the field.

Today Besiktas fans may have learned the lesson of last year. They did not set off fireworks or throw debris today, but just slapped and stomped harder, hoping to affect Bordeaux's performance.

The players who participated in the competition last year can already face this kind of situation very calmly. Bordeaux is playing normally. The fear of the last time is gone now. There is more calmness and less worry.
