Chapter 303 Champions Cup Final ([-])
"If there is no way to avoid it, the only physical contact is to fall to the ground." Lippi added later.

"Both of you continue to attack, don't pass high-altitude balls, pass ground balls as much as possible." Lippi began to talk about the two sides again, and then pointed to the three central defenders, "You three can keep the state of the first half, there is no chance to set the ball Don't go halfway to Bordeaux."

On the side of Bordeaux, Vincent's layout is not as detailed as Lippi's, mainly chicken soup.

"You guys performed very well in the first half, and the second half will continue, but there is one place you should pay attention to." Fan Shang took out a pen and drew a circle on the whiteboard behind him, "The left side of the penalty area and the left front part, in this You must guard against their No. 10. You may have noticed in the first half that his left-footed shot in this area is really threatening. What you have to do is interfere, don’t take it lightly, understand.”

"Understood" Although the voices of several defenders were not loud, Fan Shang could see that they were indeed thinking about this matter.

"Our goal is still the same, which is to drag the game to 120 minutes and then have a penalty shootout with them. Andre, your running continues to improve. I hope you can score goals very much, but if there is no chance, you can. To hold down at least two defenders is to successfully complete the task." Vincent said to Shevchenko again.

"Understood. In the second half, I will spare no effort to continue to disrupt their defense." Shevchenko is very sensible and knows that he has become cannon fodder today, but even if he is cannon fodder, he has made a good cannon fodder. .

"Okay, relax your muscles quickly, there may be 75 minutes left in the game." Fan Shang not only asked the team doctor to relax the players' muscles, but also himself and other members of the coaching staff did it themselves to relax the players.

At the beginning of the second half, the players entered the court one by one with ease, but when Fan Shang and his coaching staff walked out of the player tunnel, they were all rubbing their arms, as if they had just finished a battle .

"Let's take a look at Fan Shang and his coaching staff. Are they going to fight?" Charles Biduo teased. "Each of them was rubbing their arms, and it looked like they were beating up the players, lol."

"It's a little strange, but seeing the Bordeaux players alive and well, it doesn't look like they have been beaten, haha" Platini smiled suspiciously, but he really wanted to know what these people were doing.

These two people were clearly joking, but the arms of Fan Shang and the others were still really sore. Before going out, Fan Shang specially shook hands with several team doctors, and at the same time said earnestly, "You guys have worked so hard."

Several team doctors were really flattered and said it was their job.

After the start of the second half, neither team made substitutions, but Juventus obviously accelerated the pace.

Although it was Bordeaux kick-off, but when Bordeaux made a long pass to Pires after a few kicks in the backcourt, the ball was cut off by Juventus.

The first attack of Juventus in the second half was directly initiated by Davis. He was the same in the first half, but with his current physical fitness, Davis rushed to the 10-meter front of the penalty area. place, and then without even thinking about it, he distributed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, where Del Piero happened to be.

However, Bordeaux is particularly vigilant about the defense in this area. Gamara dared not neglect and destroyed the ball before Piero.

However, Fan Shang personally felt that this ball was a bit risky. If Gamara couldn't touch the ball, then Del Piero would have an unmarked shot in his own area.

Bordeaux don’t need to attack now, and they don’t need to speed up the pace. This gambling-style grab is actually completely unnecessary. As long as Gamarra plays his own jellybean defense, even if Del Piero has a chance to shoot, Chilavert will not do it. It doesn't matter.

In the 50th minute, although Juventus launched an attack from Didier Deschamps this time, the last pass was completed by Pessoto from the wing. He passed it completely against Sagnol, which was a low level ball.Inzaghi somehow got in front of the ball and made a pushing motion, maybe the ball was too fast, his foot pushed under the ball, this time the shot was over the crossbar.

This ball is quite dangerous, Fan Shang can't sit still now, just now he made an uphill grab, but now he missed someone, Fan Shang decided to remind the players quickly.

Vincent walked to the sidelines, pulled Pires who was passing by him, and asked him to tell the two defenders that as long as Piero and Inzaghi appeared in the penalty area, someone must follow them.

Juventus's attack continued. In the 53rd minute, Juventus once again rushed from the wing. Last time, Pessoto's cross threatened Bordeaux. This time, in the same position, Pessoto made a cross again. However, due to Sagnol's pressing, this time Pesoto had no choice but to pass a high-altitude ball. This time Song grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

After the start of the second half of Juventus, Juventus's offensive was like a wave. Although the threat was not very great, the increase in numbers also made Vincent a little worried.

Vincent pulled Pires again, "Robert, hurry up and tell your teammates to strengthen the counterattack, the focus is on both sides of you and Nedved." Vincent decided to tell Juventus by counterattack, don't Look down on Bordeaux.

In the 57th minute, Di Livio came to Bordeaux's penalty area again, and this time his choice was quite clever. Instead of passing into the penalty area, he crossed to the front of the penalty area. Davis followed up and played a round. A long shot with one foot, but the angle is too positive to be held in Chilavert's arms.

Chilavert also received the meaning conveyed by Pires. After he hugged the ball this time, he began to observe the positions of Pires and Nedved, and then ran to the edge of the penalty area and drove the ball hard towards Juventus. halftime.

At this time, most Juventus players still had no intention of returning to defense in Bordeaux's half. After all, they were more at ease with the three defenders dragging behind.

However, there were also three players in Bordeaux rushing forward at this time, the arrow Shevchenko, Pires on the left, and Nedved on the right also quickly completed the transition between offense and defense, relying on their super physical fitness to cooperate with the other two Killed towards Juventus's half.

The ball flew to the left where Pires was. Since Di Livio was still near the penalty area in Bordeaux, Torricelli was defending Pires. But I have been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.
