Chapter 53: The Away Battle in Prague
"Christopher, are you a little too much today...," Zidane said to Dugari
Before Zidane could finish speaking, Dugari interrupted him, "Zinedine, don't you also want to defend and counterattack all the time?" If you attack, you have more room to play. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
"Yes, but Fan Shang is the head coach, our leader, and the players directly deny his tactics." Zidane also wants to attack, but the manager has to execute the tactics assigned by the players, or what should the manager do? Zidane still respects Fan Shang, and the excellent record since Fan Shang led the team has persuaded Zidane to accept this coach who is not as old as himself. "Anyway, it's already like this, you can just pass me the ball when the time comes." Dugari said confidently
Zidane sighed and began to change clothes.
The other players basically had the same idea as Zidane, hoping to attack more, but Fan Shang's excellent record made them not want to contradict Fan Shang, at this time Dugari stood up, not only did he have the leading cannon fodder not to offend Fan Shang, but also reflected his own problems in disguise. Of course, there are a few people in the team who do not support Dugarry, and they are all Fan Shang's die-hard crowds, not to mention Distin and Abidal, Lizarazu, Dudière and Witzger have a lot of complaints about Dugarry's words. After Fan Shang left, the three of them got together and muttered a few words, glanced at Dugarry a few more times, and went to take a bath.
Fan Shang went to the press conference after going out, and Fan Shang was perfunctory about the reporters' questions, and perfunctory when he couldn't. During the dozens of minutes of press conference, the only useful information that the reporters got was that Vincent was a little dissatisfied with the lack of victory in this game, and there was no other information about Dugarry's transfer, the next match against Slavia Prague, etc.
"This Asian has a very strict mouth," some reporters chatted in private, and they were very dissatisfied with Fan Shanglao's nonsense.
Fan Shang's nonsense is also learned from those leaders in later generations, saying in a circle, no matter what the problem is, it will be set up.
After the match against Rennes, Vincent gave the players a day off to rest and hope to better prepare for the UEFA Cup tie in the future.
In Bordeaux's match against Slavia Prague, Vincent has already decided to defend and counterattack. When playing against Rennes, Fan Shang also wanted to defend and counterattack at first, but after saying it, seeing that several people led by Dugari were pouting, Fan Shang decisively changed to attack. He was afraid that after he insisted on defending and counterattacking, the players on the field would give him a yang and yin disobedience, and it would be too late to say anything at that time.
There weren't so many constraints in Prague, and a bet limited several players, led by Dugarry. They don't go against the grain now, they still dream of shining in attack so that they can be looked at by big clubs, not to mention AC Milan in Du's family, even if there is a club in the middle of Serie A that is better than Bordeaux.
On March 30, Vincent sat on a plane to Prague. This time there was no reason for Afflerroux to pick the door, and if he had taken Bordeaux to Prague by bus, he would have won.
After getting off the plane, on the way to the hotel by bus, Fan Shang looked at Prague carefully. Prague is really beautiful. Quaint buildings, red roofs, and medieval gravel roads accentuate the beauty of the city. It has more color than Paris, more nobility than Bordeaux, more romance than Milan, more art than Berlin, and more history than those modern cities.
Vincent looked at the scenery outside the car very intoxicated, he actually wanted to coach here and here now, but obviously this is impossible, Vincent, who has a foothold in Ligue 1, will not go to a small league like the Czech Republic.
Fan Shang thought of the girl on the train again, is she okay now? It would be nice to be able to visit Prague with her.
"Why do I think so, I've only met once! Could it be that this is what love at first sight is? Fan Shang didn't understand that he thought of that girl.
At this time, when the car arrived at the place, Fan Shang's train of thought was interrupted, he shook his head, wiped his face with his hand to erase everything that was not related to the game, and then walked out of the car.
Until the start of the game on April 1, Fan Shang did not go out to walk the road for even a minute, he was the hotel, the training ground, and the competition venue.
Slavia Prague fans poured into the stadium for today's game, and it was a big deal for them for their home team to reach the last four of the UEFA Cup, with ticket prices rising again and again, but still hard to come by.
Bordeaux also had fans who came to Prague to cheer for the team, but just like the last time in Milan, they were basically overwhelmed by the home team's fans, and Vincent searched carefully for a long time before finding a team of hundreds of people in a corner.
Vincent had been studying Slavia Prague for a long time before the game. Their most important attacking methods are still relatively diverse, they have the wing weapon Poboski, as well as Smitchell, who moves between the front midfielder and the striker, and the shadow striker Beinel is also very good. The defense is also relatively stable and tough, and the core of the defense is 1.94 meters tall and is also a member of the Czech national team.
In the face of this kind of balanced team, Fan Shang hopes to stabilize the defense first, and then rely on speed to attack the tall back line of Slavia Prague.
Bordeaux lined up 451 today, with Dugarry up front, and the rest of the players as they did in the league.
Slavia Prague look like they're looking to grab points at home, and the 442's attacking lineup also shows their ambitions.
Before the start of the game, Vincent called Lizarazu and Dudiel to him, and told them to take good care of the two technical players, Poboski and Smitchell, to be steady and ruthless.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the two teams fulfilled the instructions of their respective coaches. After Poboski got the ball, he dribbled straight to the bottom line and prepared to cross the bottom. Lizarazu saw Pobosky with the ball, and without saying a word, he just put a shovel, and after Pobosky fell to the ground, Lizarazu didn't care about anything, got up and walked back. Seeing Poboski lying on the ground in pain, the referee hesitated and gave Lizarazu a yellow card. But from this opening tackle, Poboski was scared, and in the later games he avoided Lizarazu intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of being wasted by him.
Similarly, after Poborski was frightened, Slavia Prague's attacking focus shifted to Smitchell, and the delicate midfielder was also unmoved after a couple of fouls from Dudière.
Looking at the situation on the field, Fan Shang was confident, while the head coach of Slavia Prague was full of sadness.
In the 10th minute, Witzger broke through three Slavia Prague defenders in a row on the counterattack and passed the ball to the penalty area, and Dugarry received the pass and did it in one fell swoop.
1-0 Bordeaux took the lead not long after the opening. Dugarry has scored in three consecutive games and the AC Milan prey has proven his worth with goals.
If someone else scored, Vincent might have hugged him in celebration, and Dugarry had scored Vincent just stood up and applauded. Apparently Dugarry didn't mean to celebrate with Vincent, who was standing on the advertising front and waving at the audience.
