Chapter 114: Set-pieces
After Fan Shang took this breath, he began to think about how to win this game. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The situation on the field has always been grinding meat with each other in the midfield, Bordeaux is not passive in the past, so this is not the rhythm of Bordeaux.
At this time, Fan Shang understood that Guang's lethal tactics were completely leading Bordeaux by the nose and bringing the game to a frequency that Bordeaux was not used to. Fan Shang thought of this, and looked at the opposing head coach Smerecki who was still shouting on the sidelines, he was not very famous, and he was quite scheming. It seems that there are really people who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues, none of them are mediocre, Fan Shang has a small result last year, and he is a hero in the world.
Seeing the situation on the field, Fan Shang immediately made his own adjustments, asking the players to withdraw to their familiar positions, allowing Guingamp to attack, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. How to counterattack, Vincent looked at the offensive players on the field, and after replacing the three-headed monster, he was replaced by Wiltord, Pire and Toyes, two of whom were offensive players.
"What should I do, I have wrapped myself in" Fan Shang patted his head and counted himself in his heart, "You can't be so impulsive in the future, remember the lesson of this time, and think about everything you do in the future." ”
Fan Shang is not a fairy, there are only three people who can attack on the field now, Papin, Nedved, Drogba, and Lamote may barely be half, how to fight this counterattack has become Fan Shang's biggest headache now.
Just when Vincent was scratching his head, he saw that Dudière fouled the attacking player in the middle of the field, and Guingamp's free kick played a clever combination, the routine was somewhat similar to the goal that Argentina scored against England in 98, and the ball was sent into the penalty area with three passes, but fortunately, Gamara blocked the ball in time to destroy the ball out of the sideline.
"This is good, you can go back to practice" Seeing this free kick gave Fan Shang some inspiration, "Yes, set pieces, if you can't get in, you can make fouls and corner kicks!" Fan Shang slapped his head again.
Syllable! "Oops" Fan Shang himself called out himself, and everyone on the bench looked at Fan Shang strangely. Vincent himself didn't look at the others, walked straight to the sidelines, called Nedved and Papan, and grabbed Lamotte, who was running back.
After that, Fan Shang continued to stand on the sidelines, rubbing his forehead that had just been slapped red, while continuing to observe the situation on the field. After Bordeaux sabotaged several attacks in a row, Bordeaux finally played a decent counterattack, Nedved, after receiving the pass, did not mean to pass the ball at all, and rushed to the Guingamp penalty area by himself. But unfortunately, not many meters after the midfield, he was surrounded by two Guingamp players and lost the ball.
Although it did not pose a threat, the ball gave Fan Shang hope, and Fan Shang gave a thumbs up to the field and motioned for the defense to press forward a little so that a few players who could run could fall a little further.
That's right, the way Fan Shang has come up with now is to let a few capable players rush forward desperately, and it would be better if there was a chance to create a threat, and if there was no chance to create a foul on the opponent. Bordeaux's free-kicks are still quite threatening right now, with direct penalties and a few highs on the pitch, which should be the most effective means of scoring.
It worked, as Bordeaux relied on solid technique and relentless running on a counter-attack to bring the ball from the right side of the pitch to the left side of the pitch to create a left-hand corner. Lizarazu's corner went straight to the middle of the box, where the crowd was at its highest. At this time, all the tall players are concentrated in this area, and the tallest people on the field, such as Distin, Drogba, Guingamp, and the tall Polish central defender, are all trying to compete for the first place.
At this time, Lamotte, who likes this kind of confrontation, also rushed in excitedly, just knocked into Guengang's first height on the field Polish Yuswiak, Drogba accidentally hit the ball, but some suddenly, the power and direction of the ball were not mastered, only to see that the height was not far away, the ball flew straight up, and fell again, at this time a foot stretched out, in the crowd to point the ball, after a period of confusion, the ball rolled into Guingamp's goal.
"buuuuuut" Okay, this commentary on the scene will continue this way, "Papan, buuuuuuut"
It was Papan, who relied on his own experience to judge where the ball would land, and did not hesitate to reach out in the crowd. This should be Bordeaux's only chance for the whole game, Papin is resurrected in Bordeaux, which means that he can have this kind of judgment and mental quality.
1:0, Bordeaux finally scored a goal with difficulty, and then Fan Shang waved his hand and continued to retreat to defend, one ball was enough, and the players could no longer be allowed to play with the ball and rush forward.
Bordeaux's defence was still tried and tested, and in the little time left, Guingamp was completely unfazed, and after Lamotte paid the price of a yellow card and a suspension for the next game, Bordeaux won the game without danger.
Seven wins and one draw in eight rounds of the league, although many people are still skeptical and contemptuous of Fan Shang's pragmatic tactical thinking, but Fan Shang's achievements are here, even if he disdains it, no one is embarrassed to stand up and say anything now.
In the post-match press conference, Fan Shang was finally not troubled this time, the results are there, and whoever is looking for trouble will not be long-sighted.
Whether it is the relatively hostile Le Figaro, the team newspaper, other neutral domestic and foreign media, as well as Bordeaux's die-hard supporters of the local southwestern newspaper, they all began to sing praises to Bordeaux, pay attention to singing praises to Bordeaux, those who have been competing with Fan Shang before will be angry enough to say that Fan Shang will never say good things about Fan Shang, at least not now, now Fan Shang is just a rookie with some luck, although he has the League Cup, but in the eyes of outsiders he is still a novice.
"Sooner or later, I have to use my results to let you lick me" Fan Shang listened to the praise of Bordeaux in his ear, although he felt very comfortable, but no one mentioned his credit to confirm that Fan Shang was unhappy.
The next game of Bordeaux is away to Marseille, and in terms of the difficulty of this game, it is really average, Marseille has just returned from the second division to the first division, and has not adapted well, completely lacking the style of the previous five consecutive championships.
Marseille belongs to the standard of stealing chickens and rice, and he has pitted himself into the second class. On May 20, 1993, in order to save their energy for the Champions League final six days later, Marseille paid three players from their league opponent Valencian, Bruchaga and Christophe both took Marseille's money, but Grassman bravely exposed Marseille's behavior. In fact, the Marseilles did not need to do this at all, they were already above Valencian, but they foolishly chose to bribe their opponents to play match-fixing. Later, then-league champions Marseille were relegated to the second division along with then-relegated side Valencian, a league champion for the first time in the history of French football.
The players that Marseille can take now are their goalkeepers, the old German goalkeeper Koepke and the old French midfielder Pedros.
Therefore, Fan Shang did not save face for this old French squad in Marseille at all, and a 2:0 clean away game picked Marseille off the horse.
Bordeaux has faced relatively weak teams in the league before, Le Havre, Nice, Lille, Marseille, which are all relegation favorites this year, while Paris, Monaco, Nantes and other strong teams have not yet met. So now there are many people touting Bordeaux's winning streak, but Bordeaux's current quality is not enough, most people still think that Bordeaux can only bully and bully weak teams, and there will be no way to reach the strong team, Auxerre's draw with Bordeaux is the best proof.
The next game is Bordeaux against Strasbourg, although Strasbourg is not a strong team in Ligue 1, but it has always been a stable team in the middle of the table, and it has been able to show a small face in European competitions for several years in a row.
Bordeaux's main centre-back last year, Dogan, defected to Strasbourg this summer, and of course Vincent also poached Duckett from there. Vincent still attaches more importance to this game, not the opponent, but the schedule, Bordeaux will usher in a double game of European competition after playing Strasbourg, and only by winning this game can he put down his burden and deal with the European competition.
