Chapter 297 The End of Ligue [-]
After winning the French Triple Crown, Bordeaux still has two league games before the European Champions Cup.

Although these two games had no impact on the league rankings, Fan Shang had another purpose, which was to let Papan firmly grasp the top scorer list in the league.

The first game against Charruto can relax a bit.This Sharuto did not live up to expectations this year. Vincent rented so many players to them, but it still didn't prevent them from being relegated. They are now ranked second to last and have already been relegated ahead of schedule.

The game was played quite peacefully. Bordeaux went to the bench to play. Everyone was playing for Papin. In the end, the score between the two teams was fixed at 3:2. Papin scored two goals, and the remaining goal was Drogba's header.

After this round of the league, Papin consolidated his position on the scorer list with 24 league goals.Trezeguet behind him has now only scored 18 goals.

In the last game of the league, Bordeaux played against Monaco at home. Bordeaux must end this game perfectly. As Bordeaux's biggest opponent in the league, Monaco is also the best choice for the final game.

Monaco's record this year can only be said to look good, but they have not won any honors.

Not only was Bordeaux under the pressure in the league, this year they didn't even compete with Lens and Metz, ranking fourth in the league.

In the two domestic cups, they were also eliminated early.

Only in the European Champions Cup did they give people some surprises, but Bordeaux's performance was even more eye-catching, almost completely stealing the limelight from Monaco's side.

Tigana's current coaching position is actually not very secure anymore. Compared with previous years, this year's results are indeed a bit too ordinary.

For Monaco, this last round of the league has become the last chance to retaliate against Bordeaux this season. They have been looking forward to it since a week ago, looking forward to the moment when they beat Bordeaux.

But Bordeaux is relatively relaxed. After all, they have already won the league championship, and this game is completely a warm-up for the Champions League final.

Vincent rarely took the initiative to talk to Tigana in this game.

"Can you tell me what kind of team Juventus is? How did you beat them?" Vincent asked these two questions without even saying hello.

Tigana, who was wondering just now when he saw Fan Shang coming over, now understood that Fan Shang came here not to reconcile with him, but to inquire about the situation of the opponent in the Champions Cup final.

"Humph," Tigana sneered first, "You'll know it in the finals."

Fan Shang already expected that Tigana would not say much, but he did not delay anything just now, so he asked casually, what if Tigana lost his mind?
This is just a small episode. The mentality of the two teams in this game is completely different. The Bordeaux players are relaxed, while the Monaco players are facing the enemy one by one.

Although Monaco still played against Bordeaux after the opening game, they played too rigidly and had no creativity at all. The inspirations of forwards Henry, Trezeguet and Ikpeba were completely eaten by Tigana, and none of them were creative. force.

The same is true for the midfielder. Benabia, who was originally flexible and changeable, has become an ordinary midfielder who can only pass straight passes and split sides, and the spirituality is no longer visible.

But Bordeaux is just the opposite. Although Bordeaux is defending, their relaxed attitude gives them more room to play. Even engineers like Makelele and Dacourt will make some difficult moves. Block the attack.

In this way, the result of the game is doomed. Although Bordeaux conceded two goals, they scored three and defeated Monaco 3:2 at home. won the league final game.

Since the last round of the league was played at the same time, the Bordeaux and Monaco games ended, and the other games also ended sooner or later, and finally the results of this year's Ligue [-] league also appeared.

1997-1998 French League One, champion: Bordeaux, runner-up: Lens, third runner-up: Metz.

No.4 to No.9 are left, namely, Monaco, Marseille, Lyon, Auxerre, Bastia and Paris Saint-Germain.

These nine teams are the teams that can appear in the European war next year.

The luckiest of them is Paris Saint-Germain. Although they only ranked ninth in the league, they thought they had reached the final of the League Cup, and the champion Bordeaux needs to participate in the European Champions Cup next year. They successfully replaced Bordeaux. , can participate in next year's European Cup Winners' Cup.

Bordeaux and Lens will participate in next year's Champions Cup, Metz, Monaco, Marseille and Lyon will directly enter the UEFA Cup main match, and Auxerre and Bastia will have to start from the Intertoto Cup.

After finishing the above, the following is the relegated team. This year, the three teams are relegated. The three teams that are relegated are Cannes, Charruto and Guingamp. Guingamp is the worst, and Toulouse, who will be relegated , but fell into the second division of France.

The same three teams that have been promoted to Ligue [-] this year are Nancy, Sochaux and Lorient. Among them, Lorient turned out to be promoted to Ligue [-] for the first time. Before that, they had been hovering in the second and third tiers.

In terms of personal statistics, Papin is of course the top scorer in Ligue 25 this season. This is the second consecutive year since he returned to Ligue [-]. He has won this honor for two consecutive years. He has scored [-] goals this season, and he has been a substitute most of the time. Under the circumstances, it will not be an old demon.

The second and third behind him all appeared in Monaco, Trezeguet and Ikepeba, one scored 19 goals and the other scored 18 goals.

In the back is Jivash, who scored 17 goals and ranked fourth.Bordeaux's other two strikers, Shevchenko and Wiltord, are also among the top 15 scorers.For a defensive-oriented team like Bordeaux, it is really not easy for so many players to appear on the scorer list.

Up to now, this season's French First Division is all over, and these things that rely on data have come out, but some think about the best player, best young player, best coach, etc., still need to be selected by the French Football Association to have results .

Bordeaux now has to devote all its energy to the final preparations for the Champions Cup.

After the last match, Vincent announced to the players that they would be on vacation for two days and would gather on Tuesday morning, but from then on until the end of the European Champions Cup, they needed to continue in a closed manner.
