Chapter 1027: Protecting the Four Crazy Demons
On the evening of May 22, Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris.
The Stade de France, which can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, was almost always occupied by Paris Saint-Germain fans, and the Bordeaux fans, who resembled the visitors, had to succumb to the authority of the home team after the opening battle.
The situation is very similar to how Bordeaux played on the pitch in this game.
Coach Francis Gilo's starting tactic was to take the initiative to press, hoping to frustrate PSG's spirit in the opening period, and then retreat across the board to fight for a chance with the team's excellent defensive ability.
But what I didn't expect was that Paris Saint-Germain, who will go to London, England to participate in the Champions League final three days later, took the lead in this game and formed a strong offensive against Bordeaux after the opening.
PSG's coaching staff is clearly well aware that Bordeaux are third in Ligue 1 defensively this season, just behind PSG and Saint-Etienne, but their attacking prowess is fifth from bottom in Ligue 1 and simply not enough to put PSG under pressure.
Paris Saint-Germain took control of the game with a huge disparity in quality, and in the fifteenth minute, Neymar assisted Yaya Toure for a goal.
The Ivorian will miss out on the Champions League final due to yellow cards, so he took all his anger out on the French Cup final, and he showed no mercy to Bordeaux.
After conceding a goal, Bordeaux quickly organized a tight defense and replaced two players in a row at half-time, all of which focused on strengthening the defense.
Paris Saint-Germain were quick to make substitutions, with Kingsley Coman and Rabiot coming on in succession.
In the 65th minute, Yaya Toure assisted Pastore for the second goal of the game.
Just eight minutes later, it was Yaya Toure who cut into the box and fouled Bordeaux defender Leroy Sane for a penalty, giving the Ivorian a brace.
In the second minute after the penalty, it was Yaya Toure who orchestrated the assist after the break, when Lucas Moura's cross was met by Didier Drogba's header in the box to score the fourth goal for Paris Saint-Germain.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bordeaux 4-0 with Yaya Toure's brace and goals from Pastore and Drogba, and successfully defended the French Cup championship with an absolute advantage.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Gao Han was still sitting in the home team's coach's box, looking at Zidane's back in front of him with a smile, he was already more and more aware of Zidane's coaching ideas and concepts.
Just like Zinedine Zidane's style of play, he is about control, creativity and attack.
This is undoubtedly quite in line with Gao Han's taste, and Zidane is not paranoid.
Unlike Pep Guardiola, who spent most of his life with a Barcelona team, Zidane has had a rich career, starting with Cannes in Ligue 1 to Bordeaux, then to Juventus and finally to Real Madrid, where he has been immersed in different styles of league and played under several top-level managers with different styles.
Zidane's rich professional resume has made him more flexible and fickle in his coaching thinking, he is keen on control, but not obsessed with possession, defending and counter-attacking when he should defend, pressing on when he should press, and very pragmatic.
On the offensive end, his philosophy is efficient, fast and direct, which is undoubtedly in line with the characteristics of Alpine and Chinatown.
What interests Gao Han even more is that Zidane's emphasis on the creativity of players shown in training and game preparation, such as Yaya Toure and Pastore in this game, was used by him, especially Yaya Toure, who was elected as the best team of the game and has a great degree of freedom.
As a legendary superstar in the past, Zidane is also quite good at adjusting players, and Neymar's ability to grow rapidly at Paris Saint-Germain is inseparable from Zidane's training and special training.
And there is also Hazard in the China City team who plays the same position as Zidane, and his strength and potential are highly appreciated by Zidane.
It is said that Zidane has repeatedly recommended Hazard to Real Madrid, but Florentino did not pay much attention to Hazard because he was not a superstar, and by the time Real Madrid paid attention to him, Hazard's liquidated damages have now risen to 150 million euros, and may even be renewed at any time, rising to 200 million euros.
There are also players such as Pogba, Jesus, De Bruyne and Isco, who are also very optimistic about Zidane.
Gao Han has every reason to believe that if Zidane is willing to coach Chinatown, this group of players will be able to make rapid progress under the tutelage of Zidane and Cantarero and quickly provoke the pillars of Chinatown.
But now is not the time to talk to him about it.
Gao Han slapped his legs hard, and the whole person stood up from his seat.
Everyone didn't know that the real conductor of this game was Zidane, and they thought that Zidane was Gao Han's spokesperson and came forward to command the game instead of Gao Han, so when Gao Han walked out of the coach's seat, everyone in the audience was calling his name.
It was his second French Cup title for PSG.
In three days' time, he will lead the Paris Saint-Germain side in their final run to Champions League title this season.
If successful, it would be PSG's first Champions League title in its 43-year history.
It is precisely because of this that the whole of Paris is praying for Gao Han and his team.
Gao Han walked out of the coach's seat and waved his hand to thank the fans who called him, and he also accepted the credit of the fans for Zidane's command of the game to him, because he was the head coach of the team and Zidane was his assistant.
What's more, if this game is commanded by him, not only will he win, but he will definitely win more than Zidane.
But he still walked up to Zidane, raised Zidane's hand, and joined him in receiving the cheers of the fans.
4-0, with the strong overall strength of Paris Saint-Germain, the team once again achieved a wonderful victory.
"How do you feel at this moment?" asked Gao Han with a smile.
"It's so cool that goosebumps are up. Zidane chuckled.
In the past six months, he has not had a lot of opportunities, but it is the first time he has led a team to play in such a game as the French Cup final, and he knows very well that to win, and to win by four goals, the strong strength of Paris Saint-Germain is the key, and the hero behind the scenes is undoubtedly the team's head coach Gao Han.
The second should be the excellent pre-match preparation of the team's coaching staff, with Sergio Garcia's accurate and timely analysis of the game, the former to make the team in better shape and the latter to help him make more accurate decisions.
In the end, he felt that he had some credit for it.
"Ligue 1 can't accommodate you anymore, you should go to a wider platform. Gao Han patted Zidane on the shoulder encouragingly, and pointed to the voice of the fans coming from the stands, "In the future, the name they shout should be you." ”
Zidane was surprised to hear it, he didn't expect Gao Han to speak so highly of himself.
But Gao Han also stopped in moderation, did not say much, but walked directly to the players on the field.
He felt he had to come out and remind the group that Wembley Stadium would be the stage for them to party three days later.
French Cup winners?
That's just an appetizer.

When Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bordeaux in Paris and won the French Cup, at the Brogue Stadium in Leganes, a southern suburb of Madrid, Chinatown also drew 3-3 with Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid with Rakitic's crucial goal, and stubbornly tied the score in the second half after falling behind by two goals in the first half.
This is the highlight of the final round of La Liga this season, a battle between two teams who have already secured third and fourth places in advance.
Higuain and Callejon's goals in the first half helped Real Madrid take the lead, but in the second half, China City played a tidal offensive and completely crushed Real Madrid in the half.
Twenty-five to ten, this is a comparison of the number of shots taken by the two teams, China City is more than twice as many as Real Madrid, and the possession rate is also 59 to 41, China City also has the advantage.
It's a pity that the team failed to defend well in the first half, and was continuously counterattacked to score, and it will be 3-3 in the end.
After this match, Chinatown also ended all the games of the season.
In the six games against the big three clubs in the league, Atletico Madrid won 0-1 at home and 1-0 away, won 1-1 at home, lost away at Barcelona but won 3-2 when they returned home, and lost 3-4 away at Real Madrid and drew 3-3 at home.
It should be said that Pochettino's team is not inferior to the three giants in the strong dialogue, which once again proves the strength of Chinatown, and it does have the level of competing with the three giants.
However, in the southern suburbs of Madrid derby, although Getafe did not perform well this season, they defeated China Town with one win and one draw, becoming the winner of this season's southern suburbs derby.
This is also a reflection of Chinatown's trajectory this season, especially in the multi-front phase, where the team's rotation system is not ideal, resulting in a lot of ups and downs in the team's results, not bad results in the strong dialogue, but in some games that should have been able to pick up points, they have conceded too many points.
It's no surprise that the team is third in La Liga in terms of attacking power, behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the defence is not solid enough and they are fourth in La Liga.
In terms of point efficiency, the main reason is that there are too many draws, as many as 12 games, which is the team with the most draws in La Liga this season, with only five losses, like Atletico Madrid, only behind Barcelona, who has only lost two games, one of which is to Chinatown.
The lack of attack is also reflected in the scorers' list, with Eden Hazard scoring the most goals with 16 goals and only 8th place in the scorers' list, Rakitic in ninth place with 14 goals, Pelle and Antoine Griezmann both scoring 12 goals, and Isco scoring 10 goals.
Multi-point flowering is the offensive feature of China City this season, the offensive means are rich, but the lack of a strong offensive core is also a big problem that the team is currently facing.
Originally, the team intended to build Isco and Eden Hazard into the attacking duo of the team, but Pochettino did not have time to try after playing on multiple fronts, which will leave a headache for the next manager.
Although there are many problems for the team, the Champions League has entered the quarterfinals, and the league has retained the top four, and the results are quite gratifying, especially the five to two away and the four to two home defeats against Valencia, which has laid the foundation for Chinatown's strong team nature.
This also made many media comment after the end of the season, believing that Chinatown has quietly become the four defenders of La Liga.
