254 Battle of Bordeaux 1

Hugo and the club's hierarchy flew alone to France the next day, Bordeaux is located in the southwest of France, Bordeaux is an important force in French football, having won five first division titles at home, but there has been no impressive results in Europe, only once reaching the final of the three major European cups, losing to Bayern Munich in the final of the League Cup.

Hugo went early to be influenced by the Bordeaux president Jean. Louis. At Trio's invitation, they had lunch together at noon, and the president, who owned several châteaux in the Bordeaux region, also had lunch at one of Trio's wineries.

Also present at the lunch was Trapani's veteran Miku who returned to Bordeaux, and why Bordeaux are willing to welcome Miku back this summer has to be said about the situation in their squad.

The influence of Ligue 1 has always been insufficient, the development is not very good, they once had a brilliant team in European football, it was just a flash in the pan, the prestige of Serie A is thanks to the long-term and unremitting investment of the family behind them, 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 throw money at the team can only use single digits to count, most owners are not happy to continue to invest, this money may not even bubble down, this is the case in Ligue 1, the owners of the team are known for being stingy, Trio is also rich, but he can't be as focused as Hugo.

It is important to keep the team balanced, and this season Bordeaux's overall budget is less than 100 million euros, while Trapani's budget is more than 200 million, and salaries take up most of it.

The team in Ligue 1 is just cultivating young people, and then a little famous player will soon be poached by other leagues, Bordeaux has also sold a lot of people in the summer, the veteran Miku can return for free, and the salary is not expensive, Trio will certainly not miss such an opportunity, it is unknown how much Miku can contribute, but at least pay only 500,000 annual salary after tax is still very cost-effective.

Miku has Bordeaux in his heart, but he also has a place for Trapani in his heart, and his status is not lower than Bordeaux at all, leaving Trapani not because he has to return to his old club, but because he still wants to continue playing, and Trapani cannot provide him with a place.

So during this time, he also contacted Hugo and Giorgio, Hugo came here to get together with Trio, on the one hand, there was Miku, which was an opportunity to catch up, and on the other hand, he wanted to use Miku's relationship to win over Trio and invite him to join the European Football Club Association.

Trio is actually not too strong in this regard, because the situation in Ligue 1 is basically Lyon is relatively strong now, and the results of other teams are extremely unstable, this background is because many teams that performed well last season often cannot maintain a complete squad for the next season, while Lyon's squad has been relatively consistent and stable, and Lyon is a metropolis, which has an advantage over other regions.

Bordeaux has really limited benefits from joining this Rausch association.

Hugo just wanted to dispel such thoughts for Trio, and everyone thought like Trio, the association would definitely not be able to do it.

"Don't you want to pry into Lyon's rule?!" Hugo shook the red wine in his glass and smiled bluntly.

Lyons?! Trio, of course, wanted to pry, and the chairman of Lyon, Jean. Michelle. Olas is also a hegemon in French football, and he is very annoying, but unfortunately no one can do anything about him.

Aulas is the crazy chairman of Ligue 1 football, well, Ligue 1 is good, and there are even more crazy chairmen in Serie A.

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

Hugo further explained to Trio that if the G14 is still strong and has the largest voice in European football, then you Bordeaux will never come out, unless you are willing to pay for it, and you are willing to give the team continuous blood transfusions.

To put it bluntly, our association was established against them, they can talk to UEFA, we can, we can also unite teams with more than them to form a group to talk to UEFA.

But that's it, in fact, Bordeaux is difficult to say that you can get benefits, but this can be against Olas, which is enough, and the membership fee is not expensive, why not go and have fun, maybe I should also be the president of the association, expand my fame, fame is a good thing!

Trio was persuaded by Hugo to join the team, and he was also willing to pull down other Ligue 1 teams to join him, and Hugo was greatly satisfied.

There was a lot of harmony between the top management, and there was a lot of exchange of opinions and ideas, but the team had to meet on the pitch after all, since the last game Trapani defeated the Sardinian side Cagliari, and Bordeaux was immediately looked down on by the media and spinach in the pre-match preview of this game in the Champions League.

There is no way, Trapani's strength is strong, it is the strongest existence in the group, look at Liverpool, it is also suppressed and breathless away from home, but people ignore that Liverpool actually has a chance to win.

The current head coach of Bordeaux is Ricardo. Gomez. Monredo, who only took over Bordeaux in 05 and qualified for the Champions League that season, is a logical season for which he continues to lead Bordeaux forward, but Bordeaux has not performed well in the league at the beginning of the season.

It's not interesting to fight for the first place in Ligue 1 because it's scheduled for Lyon, they are the best and they are difficult to beat, and the important thing is second, the league has only just started, so there is no need to rush at all, Trio still trusts Ricardo.

Ricardo, a Brazilian who has played in Ligue 1 and has a samba spirit in his bones, said in his pre-match press conference that he would beat Trapani at home to qualify from the group.

Ranieri, who has just taken over there, has kept a low profile, saying repeatedly that it will be a tough game and that the whole team will have to work hard to get through the difficult time.

It's really hard for Ricciardo to guess Ranieri's thoughts, Ranieri is used to using 442, but he has also used a lot of formation tactics, even if he has just taken office, Ricciardo can't figure out what Ranieri thinks, and it's hard to guess even a rough one.

On the evening of September 27th, the two sides were in the Sabang of Bordeaux. The Estadio del Mar began the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Ricardo took a 451 formation,

Goalkeeper: Lame

Defenders: Yemali, Enrique, Enakarshire, Giuriti

Defenders: Forbel, Menegazzo, Mavuba, Wendel, Miku

Forward: Daccheville

Subs: Valverde, Laslande, Alonso, Dicas, Dalma, Malange, Shamak

Trapani's side is 442:

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defender: Marcovikto Barzaliyankulovski

Midfielder: Cesar Essien Pizarro Messi

Forward: Vucinich Tony

Subs: Fontana, Barzali, Peruso, Ballac, Mascerano Di Maria, McConn

From the perspective of formation, Bordeaux has hoarded heavy troops in the midfield, Ricardo's purpose is to compete with Trapani for possession of the midfield, and Bordeaux's tactics are more inclined to ground attack, Darcheville is only more than 1.7 meters tall, and fighting for high balls is not his strength, flexible running and speed are his specialties.

And Trapani's side actually has a stronger sense of three-dimensionality, and the attack on the ground and on the head can be carried out, in terms of personnel allocation, it goes without saying that Trapani is the more dominant side.

The Portuguese referee on duty, Bequelenka, led the players of both sides into the stadium, and the stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and many away fans also came to cheer for their players.

The game quickly got to the point, Bordeaux placed 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 was no way that the disadvantage of 442 was here, and Trapani's real battle formation was not 442 but 424 at all.

The two wings were too far from the midfield and the center circle, and Ranieri was on the sidelines of the pitch, constantly whistling, signaling that the two wings needed to provide support to the midfield, but the effect was relatively average!
