Chapter 196: Super Cup

Fan Shang also vaguely criticized Bordeaux's league schedule this year, this is also strange, Bordeaux has encountered such a schedule for two consecutive years, first weak and then strong, and in the final sprint in May, it is a continuous encounter with strong opponents, this year it will be in April and May in the league with Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and other strong opponents, if the cup breaks into the final again, it will be two months of devil's schedule.

"Hey, those relationships are all in vain during the holidays," Fan Shang said to himself, shaking his head.

In fact, if this Super Cup was placed last year, Bordeaux would have won it automatically, and Auxerre had won the Super Cup automatically because they had won both the league and cup championships the year before. And because of this incident, the French Football Association also changed its policy, and if it won the double, the league runner-up would be substituted.

At this time, Monaco looked more like last year's quadruple winners than Bordeaux, and Tigana was shouting in front of the media before the game to avenge last year's defeat against Bordeaux.

Fan Shang has been saying that the team is not in good shape, the training at the beginning of the season is not systematic, and he is also silent when asked about the results of the game.

It was in this diametrically opposed situation that the two teams began to compete for the Super Cup.

There is not much difference between the starting line-ups of the two teams today and last season, on the Bordeaux side, goalkeeper Chilavert, backline: Lizarazu, Song, Gamarra and Sagnol; Midfielders: Dudier, Makelele, Darkett, Pire and Nedved, striker Shevchenko. Bordeaux's main lineup is basically the same as last year, and the new players have not fully integrated into Bordeaux, nor have they understood much of Bordeaux's tactics, which must be slowly run-in.

Monaco's starting lineup is, goalkeeper Barthez, defenders: Dumas, Pinor, Jettu, midfielders: Costinha, Benabia, Dior, Lefeel, forwards: Ndolam, Henry, Iqpba.

Monaco are clearly better off than Bordeaux and a couple of new signings have started today, with Endoram, Costinha, Christian Dior and Lefe all new arrivals brought in this summer.

There are not many Bordeaux fans in the Super Cup today, but there are a lot of Monaco fans, and there are not a few neutral fans. Monaco still has half a home advantage. But it doesn't add up to 10,000.

After the opening, Bordeaux was in average condition due to its own form, so it was a retreat across the board. Bordeaux gave the impression of being defensive on all fronts this time, with almost everyone except Shevchenko huddled in their own half, clearly swinging the bus.

There is no way to do this, Bordeaux's players are not in the best condition, even if they retreat across the board, it feels a little difficult.

Monaco's midfielders hit the Bordeaux bus again and again.

In the third minute, Monaco scored a shot by Endoram, which did not hit the frame, but also made the Bordeaux backline break out in a cold sweat.

In the 7th minute, Benabia passed to Ikpeba in seconds, and Ikpeba shook slightly, that is, a shot, but the shot was correct, and Chilavert held the ball in his arms.

In the 9th minute, Monaco got a corner kick, and it was Benabia again, he sent a quick and flat corner, Ndolam rubbed the ball towards the goal at the front point, and the ball flew off the bottom line against the crossbar.

In the 13th minute, Monaco made a comeback, the three strikers passed each other a few times, and Ikmaba suddenly shot at goal, but fortunately, Chilavert was more focused and punched the ball out.

The 15-minute game had already been attacked by Monaco several times, and Vincent began to frown from the first Monaco shot, and as time went on, Vincent's brow became more and more furrowed.

I have to think of a way, Fan Shang is anxious. But the state of the players is there, and it is useless to adjust.

So Fan Shang thought of something, he turned his system out, and chose the 3 injuries and states that he had just unlocked, and what he unlocked at that time was to add health, not to add status.

At this time, Fan Shang sat in his seat and kept pulling his hair, thinking about how to adjust.

Bordeaux is now a small boat in the wind and rain, but fortunately the hull is strong enough, and it is still struggling to persist in the continuous wind and rain.

Fortunately, Monaco's three strikers, one Henry relies on speed, Ndolam is all-round, Ikpeba is technical, and there is no strong center. And Monaco likes to penetrate the ground in the middle, which is a very important reason why Bordeaux has been able to hold on until now.

At this time, Tigana stood on the sidelines, looking at the field with a smug face, and looked back at Fan Shang arrogantly from time to time. Monaco are now one goal away.

After holding on for 45 minutes, Bordeaux miraculously kept the score 0-0 until now.

The Bordeaux players were tired and panting one by one, Vincent changed a player at halftime, let Pire go off the field, and replaced him with new signing Gattuso, and now the Bordeaux midfielder is a four-kitchen knife configuration, Darkett, Dudière, Makelele and Gattuso, the four beasts will pose a great threat to Monaco even if they are not in good shape.

Gattuso played his role as a butcher at the start of the second half, bringing down Benabia twice in midfield. Benabia, who was already relatively thin, began to hide from Bordeaux's defenders after being violated twice.

Fan Shang's eyes lit up at this time, how could he forget this trick, Bayern last season, and Valencia last season were not caught by Bordeaux and beaten.

Fan Shang hurriedly ran to the sidelines, called Makelle, and asked several of their midfielders to learn from Gattuso and let go of their movements, but also pay attention to the lack of cards.

Sure enough, the execution of these players in Bordeaux is still reliable compared to the current state, and the veteran Dudière, the most loyal executor of Vincent's tactics, did not say a word after hearing Fan Shang's arrangement, and directly told Vincent with a foul that he had received his instructions.

Monaco midfielder Leffel has not been able to become this medium, and he has just received the ball, and he has already come into close contact with the turf before he can control the ball. Fortunately, Dudier touched the ball first when he put it down, and then he didn't get a yellow card.

Lefeel's nightmare is not over, he was brought down on the turf by different players three times in 5 minutes, Tigana may also have seen Lefeel's tragic situation, and replaced him after 10 minutes, the player who came on the field was called Diawara, this name should be the most name in Ligue 1, almost every team has a name called Diawara, Bordeaux had one last year.
