road to victory

Chapter 68
Although this draw has lowered Bordeaux's ranking, it is not time for Vincent to care about these matters. He has to concentrate on preparing for the final battle in Bayern Munich.

Now Vincent has a headache to crack Bayern Munich's defense. Bayern Munich should normally have a 4-back formation, but there is a free man like Matthaus, and even if there are some missing defenders, Matthaus will make up for it. .The last time Vincent scored a goal after taking Matthaus to the sidelines for a while at the cost of two yellow cards, he must not do it again this time.

Fan Shang fell into thinking, "Freeman, Mateus, freeman, Mateus" Vincent believes that the weakness of the freeman's tactics lies in the freeman himself, if the freeman is Beckenbauer in his heyday That is unsolvable, and even Mateus in his heyday would not have too many solutions.But now Mateus is old, 35 years old, although Vincent knows that he is almost 40 years old, but the years are really not forgiving.Another disadvantage of Mateus is that he is a little short, and he doesn't compete for headers, so the height is not easy to use.Fan Shang can only make a fuss about Matthaus's age now. He will definitely have physical problems at the age of 35. Now he needs to find someone who can run with Matthaus, and it is best to give Matthaus a physical advantage. Uz some pressure.

Fan Shang scanned the names of his players one by one, and finally stayed on one name.After weighing for a long time, Fan Shang still made a decision, and drew a big circle on that name.

The training of the players is still step by step, and several young players Vincent who were promoted during the Paris Saint-Germain game kept them in the first team.But Vincent has not announced the final list of appearances.

On May 5, in the lounge of the Bordeaux-Recour Park Stadium.

"Let me talk about the starting lineup for today's game. Goalkeeper, Hual, defender, Lizarazu, Dogon, Hansen, Toyes, midfielder, Lucas, Dudir, Zidane, Wiley Zig, striker, Dugarry." Vincent only mentioned 10 of you by name, and didn't mention one more.He looked at the slightly excited performance of the following forwards, and he was actually a little embarrassed. "The last player is a free agent, Lamotte." When Vincent said the name, the players below were basically taken aback, and then looked at Vincent's and Lamotte's.La Motte naturally knew what was going on, and their nerves were relatively rough, so they didn't care under the watchful eyes of the seniors.

Fan Shang coughed, "Okay, let me explain. Today, Felix, your mission is to follow Mateus. No matter what the situation, you need to follow him. Of course, if he is injured and comes out, you don't have to. You also have to keep harassing him and bumping him with your body, which needs to be done when the referee is not paying attention, or when you are fighting for the ball. You have played football, and you should know where it hurts to hit someone." Anyway, Fan Shang was going to tear his face apart, for the sake of this championship, he had already left behind all his reputation and other things.

La Mote nodded. In his opinion, bumping into people is not a shameless thing. It turns out that bumping into people every day is a familiar thing.

After the players came out, Fan Shang walked to the coach's bench, when a microphone appeared in Fan Shang's sight.

"Okay, this is the latest information we have obtained," someone next to him handed Biduo a piece of paper, "Lamotte's full name is Felix Lamotte, he is 17 years old this year, and he has played in a Ligue [-] game. The position should be a full-back. Michel, why does Bordeaux have an extra full-back?"

"Friends in the audience, here is Canal+'s live broadcast of the second leg of the UEFA Cup final in the 1995-1996 season. I am Charles Biddot, and today I am with Mr. Platini."

"Maybe it's about kicking Lizarazu into the midfield." Platini is also guessing

"Hello everyone"

"Yes, he's not in great form this year."

Beckenbauer also had this kind of doubt. He didn't know what Vincent was thinking. He had the same idea as Platini. It might be that Vincent wanted to promote Lizarazu to the left midfielder position.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan Shang"

After the opening, there was a scene that surprised people.Lamotte ran to Matthaus after the referee blew the start whistle, then followed him.La Mote followed Mateus regardless of whether he was attacking or defending. If they were not all wearing jerseys, they would have thought that La Mote was a bodyguard hired by Mateus.

"Let's take a look again, ohlala, Lamotte only entered the Bordeaux club's youth team in October last year, and he was a rugby player before!" Biduo's voice became louder

"Mr. Fan Shang, can you tell me your prediction for this game?" It was the reporter from the last home game against AC Milan.

"Okay, Mr. Fan Shang." The reporter nodded hastily. Fan Shang didn't give him a good look last time, but this time it's rare to be so amiable. If he disagrees, maybe Fan Shang has something wrong.

Platini also frowned, he didn't understand why Vincent put such a beginner in such an important game as the UEFA Cup final.

"You don't need to conduct interviews during the game in the future. Well, I will start the game, and I will answer your questions at halftime and at the end of the game." Fan Shang didn't want reporters to interrupt him to watch the game

"Let's look at Bordeaux's starting lineup again, Hual in goal, Lizarazu, Dogon, Hansen, Toyes at the back, Lucas in midfield, Dudir, Zidane And Witzger, the striker is Dugarry, and there is another player named Lamotte. He also appeared in Bordeaux's starting lineup today, but his position is not clear. Michel, do you know this player?" Biduo Ramot, who hadn't heard of it, asked Platini
"I don't know either." Where did Platini know Lamotte.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today. Bayern Munich's goalkeeper is Kahn, the four defenders are Babel, Zieg, Hermel and Strunz, and the midfielders are Frey, Sauer, Sforza. , the forwards are Klinsmann and Kostadinov, Matthaus is still a free agent. Michel, Papin did not appear on the field today."

Fan Shang looked at La Motte, who followed Mateus and bumped into him from time to time, and felt secretly, "We don't know much about tactics and countermeasures, but we have played chess before, and we can still match. , that one pawn will definitely make a profit against a rook. Now we will see how long this pawn can last."

"It's you again, you are really dedicated. Just look at the performance on the field, it's hard to predict. But I have confidence in my players." Fan Shang didn't like this guy at first, but he persevered in delivering Putting on the microphone made Fan Shang unconsciously admire the professionalism of this reporter.

At the beginning, Mateus didn't feel anything, he should catch the ball, he should dribble the ball, Ramot just followed without doing anything.Mateus took the ball in the midfield again, and Ramote still followed him. This time Mateus did not intend to pass the ball, he went straight to the penalty area, but just about 15 meters in front of the penalty area, he went Feeling a strong force coming from his side, he fell to the ground without resisting, and then the referee blew the whistle to give Bayern Munich a free kick in the front court.The referee didn't even give a warning to Ramot. He just saw that Ramot touched Mateus a little, and Mateus fell to the ground. If Mateus was not a big-name star, he might have judged Matthaus flopped.

Mateus suffered a loss this time, but he has the pride of his own big-name star, and he wants to return it.He asked for the ball again, and continued to rush towards the penalty area, and again about 15 meters in front of the penalty area, there was another strong force, and Mateus fell to the ground again.This time the referee didn't even blow the whistle, and directly signaled the game to continue.The last time he suffered a loss, he had a free kick. This time, there was no foul. Mateus quit. He got up from the ground and rushed to the referee after getting up from the ground.First explained, the referee was indifferent, and then started yelling, until the referee was about to draw out the yellow card, Mateus shut up and apologized to the referee.Although the referee only gave a verbal warning in the end, the balance in his heart has already tilted towards La Motte.

At this time, Beckenbauer finally knew why Vincent went to Lamotte. He didn't see anything else in the few minutes of the game, just from Lamotte's figure and several collisions with Mateus. It can be seen that Lamotte is a player with full strength.Beckenbauer knew that this was Fan Shang's move to deal with Mateus, "Shameless!" Beckenbauer cursed Fan Shang in his heart.His biggest problem now is how to liberate Matthaus. Substitution will definitely not work. Bayern Munich currently has no players who can compete with Ramot.Thinking of this, Beckenbauer looked resentfully at Fan Shang who was sitting on the seat.

At this time, Fan Shang was refreshed. Mateus, the problem that had troubled him for a long time, was solved. Although the means were not up to the table, the effect was enough.
