Chapter 526 Battle against Bordeaux 1
Hugo and the top management of the club flew to France alone on the second day. Bordeaux is located in the southwest of France. Bordeaux is an important force in the French football map. It has won five first division championships in China. There have been no outstanding results in the European arena. Only once entered the final of the three major European cups, and lost to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup final.

Hugo went there early because he was invited by the chairman of Bordeaux, Jean-Louis Trio. They had lunch together at noon. The chairman owns several wineries in the Bordeaux area, and the lunch was also at a winery in Trio ongoing.

Also present at the lunch was Trapani's return to Bordeaux veteran Micoud. Why Bordeaux is willing to welcome Micoud back this summer, we have to talk about the situation in their team.

The influence of Ligue [-] has always been insufficient, and the development is not very good. They used to have a team that was brilliant in European football. , But it is impossible for the owner of every team in European football to be willing to fill the bottomless pit of the team.

In fact, those who are willing to spend money on the team can only be counted in single digits. Most owners are not willing to invest continuously. If the money is spent, it may not even risk a bubble. This is the case in Ligue [-]. The team's owners are known to be stingy, and Trio is also rich, but he can't be as dedicated as Hugo.

It is very important to maintain the team's balance of payments. This season, Bordeaux's overall budget is less than [-] million euros, while Trapani's budget is more than [-] million euros, and salary accounts for most of it.

Ligue 50 teams only cultivate young people, and then some well-known players will be poached by other leagues soon. Bordeaux also sold a lot of people in the summer. Veteran Micoud can return for free, and the salary is not expensive. Trio Of course, such an opportunity will not be missed. It is unknown how much Miku can contribute, but at least paying an annual salary of only [-] after tax is still very cost-effective.

Miku has Bordeaux in his heart, but he also has Trapani’s position in his heart, and his status is no lower than Bordeaux. He left Trapani not because he had to return to his old club, but because he wanted to continue playing. The ball, and Trapani can't provide him with a position.

So during this period of time he kept in touch with Hugo and Giorgio. Hugo came here to meet Trio. On the one hand, he had Miku, which was an opportunity to reminisce about the old days. On the other hand, he wanted to use Miku The relationship, win over Trio, and invite him to join the European Football Club Association.

In fact, Trio's intentions in this regard are not too strong, because the situation in Ligue [-] is basically that Lyon is relatively strong now, and the results of other teams are extremely unstable. This background is because many players performed well last season. The teams in the country are often unable to maintain a complete lineup for the next season, and Lyon's lineup has always been relatively stable, and Lyon is a metropolis, which has advantages compared to other regions.

What benefits Bordeaux can gain from joining this Rausch Association is really limited.

Hugo just wanted to let Trio get rid of this idea. Everyone thought like Trio, and the association would definitely not work.

"Don't you want to shake Lyon's rule?!" Hugo said with a blunt smile, shaking the red wine in the glass.

Lyon? !Of course Trio wants to pry it. The chairman of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, is also the overlord in the French football circle, and he is very annoying. Unfortunately, no one can do anything about him.

Aulas is the lunatic chairman of Ligue [-] football. Well, Ligue [-] is not bad, but there are more lunatic chairmen in Serie A.

Lyon has another identity with Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille. They are all members of the G14 group.

Hugo further explained to Trio that if G14 still grows up and holds the largest voice in European football, then you Bordeaux will never make it to the top, unless you are willing to spend money and you are willing to give the team continuous blood transfusions.

To put it bluntly, our association was established to oppose them. They can talk to UEFA, so can we. We can also unite more teams than them to form a group to talk to UEFA.

But just like this, in fact, it is hard to say that Bordeaux can get benefits, but it can fight against Aulas, which is enough, and the membership fee is not expensive, why not play, maybe I will also be the chairman of the association to expand it One's own fame, fame is a good thing!

Trio was persuaded by Hugo and expressed his willingness to join, and he was also willing to pull down other Ligue [-] teams to join, Hugo was very satisfied.

There is harmony among the top management, and a lot of opinions and ideas have been exchanged, but the team will meet on the court after all. Since Trapani defeated the Sardinian team Cagliari in the last game, Bordeaux won in the Champions League. In the pre-match preview, the media and gambling companies immediately looked down upon it.

No way, Trapani's strength is strong, and he is the strongest existence in the group. Look at Liverpool, who was also suppressed out of breath in the away game, but people ignored that Liverpool actually had a chance to win.

The current coach of Bordeaux is Ricardo Gomez Monredo. He only took over Bordeaux in 05. As a result, he qualified for the Champions League in that season. It is logical that he will continue to lead Bordeaux this season. But this season Bordeaux's performance in the league at the beginning was not outstanding.

It is meaningless to compete for the first place in Ligue [-], because it is scheduled by Lyon. They are outshine and hard to beat. The important thing is the second. The league has just started, so there is no need to worry at all. Trio still trusts Rica many.

Ricardo is a Brazilian who has played in Ligue [-] and has a Samba spirit in his bones. He said at the press conference before the game that he would beat Trapani at home and occupy a favorable position to qualify for the group.

Claudio Ranieri, who has just assumed a new role over there, is very low-key. He has repeatedly stated that this game will be a difficult game, and the whole team must play [-] points to overcome the immediate difficulties.

It is really hard for Ricardo to guess what Ranieri is thinking. Ranieri is used to using 442, but he has also used many formations and tactics. Even when he just took office, Ricardo could not figure out what Ranieri was thinking. It's hard to even guess.

On the evening of September 9, the two sides started the second round of the Champions League group stage at the Shabang Delle Polo Stadium in Bordeaux.

Ricardo adopted a 451 formation,
Goalkeeper: Lame

Defenders: Yemali, Enrique, Aenacar Shire, Giuritti
Forwards: Forbert, Menegazzo, Mavuba, Wendell, Micoud
Forward: Dachewell

Subs: Valverde, Laslande, Alonso, Ducasse, Dalma, Marange, Sharmark
Trapani here is 442:

Goalkeeper: Kameni
Defender: Macho Victor Barzalyankulovski
Midfielder: Cesar Essien, Pizarro, Messi

Forward: Toni Vucinic

Substitutes: Fontana, Barzagli, Peruso, Barack, Mascherano, Di Maria, Maicon

From the formation point of view, Bordeaux has hoarded heavy troops in the midfield. Ricardo's goal is to compete with Trapani for possession of the midfield. Moreover, Bordeaux's tactics are more inclined to attack on the ground. Dacheville is only 1.7 meters tall. Point, competing for high balls is not his strong point, flexible running and speed are his specialties.

On the other hand, Trapani's offense actually has a stronger three-dimensional sense, and both ground and overhead offenses can be carried out. From the perspective of personnel configuration, it goes without saying that Trapani is the more dominant side.

The on-duty Portuguese referee Bequelenka led the players of both sides into the stadium, and warm cheers erupted in the stadium. There were also many away fans in this game, and they cheered for their respective players.

The game quickly entered the main topic. Bordeaux deployed heavy troops in the midfield. The intention was very obvious. After a period of time, they did quickly occupy the initiative in the midfield. There is no way that the disadvantage of 442 is here. And the real battle formation of Trapani is not 442 but 424 at all.
The two wings are too far away from the midfield and the center circle. Ranieri is on the edge of the field, constantly whistling, indicating that the two wings need to provide support to the midfield, but the effect is relatively average!
