Chapter 173: The League Ends
In the dressing room after the game, Fan Shang neither criticized nor praised, but said, "This game can only be regarded as the first half, there is a second half, and there may be an overtime, don't think too much, keep your condition." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the post-match press conference, Fan Shang also said, "It's only half of a series, not even half, the result of this game doesn't say anything, all we have to do now is to find a more suitable tactic as soon as possible during this seven-day half-time break." ”
Hodgson's views are surprisingly in line with Vincent's, and he also feels that it is only half of the game, and the winner has not yet been decided, and this game is just a test for both sides.
The two UEFA Cup finals are also interspersed with a league game, which is the last game of the league, and although Bordeaux's ranking has been decided, Bordeaux has another goal in this game, which is to keep Papin at the top of the scorer charts. Now Papan has three more goals than the second place Givash, this gap should be not small, but for the sake of Fan Shang still wants Papan to score in the game, before the game Fan Shang deliberately found Chilavert and told him that the penalty kick and the free kick in front of the penalty area in today's game will be given to Papan, in order to let the veteran return an excellent king in the future.
Luckily, the opponents in this game, Le Havre, are standard and unwanted, they won't be able to get into Europe if they win, they won't fall into the second division if they lose, and their players would have gone on holiday if they didn't have to play all the fixtures.
This gave Bordeaux and Papin a great opportunity, this game Bordeaux changed the conservative style of play in the past, Fan Shang did not even have a sweeping back, directly let Sanunno stand in the position of the back, to do the work of organization. Now Sanunno is already a bit of Pirlo, whether it is a long pass or a short pass, it is quite accurate, but now he is still a little lacking in body and defense, but another year of practice should increase a lot of goals.
In the end, it was Sanuno's two precise through balls that helped Papin break Le Havre's goal twice. In the end, Bordeaux won 2-0 away at Le Havre. Papin also increased his goal tally this season from 23 to 25, so although Givash also exploded in the last game, scoring two goals in a row, he was still no match for Papan, and unfortunately missed out on the first individual glory of his career.
The 1996-1997 Ligue 1 season ended in such turmoil, but for Bordeaux, the league ended in the penultimate round, and the last four rounds were all for Vincent to show off his young players and substitutes.
In the end, Bordeaux came out on top, and the second place was undoubtedly taken by Monaco, and the two teams got their tickets to next year's Champions League. Bordeaux started in the group stage, while second-placed Monaco will have to start from the second round of the knockout round.
The teams from third to sixth place qualified for next year's UEFA Cup, Paris Saint-Germain, Metz, Nantes and Auxerre, and seventh to tenth places could participate in the International Toto Cup.
"The system problem, if we can participate in the Champions Cup and the Winners' Cup together, we will buy some people." In fact, Fan Shang just didn't want that rough Guingamp to go to the European continent.
The same relegation team has also been produced, Nice's relegation time and Bordeaux's championship time are almost at the same time, so today's Ligue 1 is not fiercely contested at the top, and the competition below is not fierce.
The remaining three relegated teams, Caen, Nancy and Lille, both have 37 points, just three points behind Rennes, who are one place above them and thus avoided relegation, with the likes of Caen and Nancy both having more goal difference than Rennes. It is worth mentioning that Le Maire took over Lens halfway through, and Le Fat successfully dragged the team from the bottom to seven, successfully avoiding relegation, and it is said that Lens is now preparing to renew his contract.
There is relegation and promotion, but Vincent found that the French Football Association has a taste of the Celestial Empire, for next year's World Cup, they actually reduced the French league team by two, four relegated teams, but only two teams were promoted, namely the French second champion Chaluto and the runner-up Toulouse, both teams are also quite related to Bordeaux, Chaluto needless to say, Bordeaux's three loaned players have become an important force for them to always be in the leading position in the second half of the season. Toulouse is because of their manager, the manager who led Toulouse to Ligue 1 is the legend of Bordeaux, Alain. Girese. Saint-Etienne, another veteran powerhouse who has loaned players from Bordeaux, also escaped the relegation zone with the help of two loan players from Bordeaux.
Bordeaux flew to Milan the day after the league ended to prepare for their final game of the season, which was played at the San Siro, oh no, it should have been called the Meazza Stadium at this time.
However, when he stepped on the field to train, Fan Shang found that although the Meazza Stadium is famous, its turf quality is actually very average, and it is different from other teams' home stadiums in that this stadium has games almost every week, sometimes even two, and such a game density seriously affects the maintenance of the turf.
In fact, Fan Shang had already discovered this problem when he came last year, but he didn't care about it as a rookie at the time, but today he found this problem again, and Fan Shang felt that he could still make some articles.
"Welcome to the second and final round of the 1996-1997 UEFA Cup final," said Charbido and Platini in the commentary booth at the Meazza Stadium today. ”
"To be honest, since the beginning of May, we seem to have become Bordeaux's own TV station, and if we count, this is the fourth Bordeaux game we broadcast live in May," Charbido said, looking at the material in his hand, "I think we are very familiar with Bordeaux by now, right, Michel"
"Yes, we actually broadcast Bordeaux a couple of times in April, and this team is mainly defensive and counter-attacking, and if it encounters some strong teams, it will also adopt a compression defense." Platini added.
