Chapter 138: The First Cycle Ends
Izmirk had nothing to explain at this time, he had already anticipated the result when he did this action, and when he received the red card, he just took off his shirt and walked into the tunnel without looking back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The free kick was in the middle of the centre circle, the kick-off point, and Chilavert ran over to signal all the Bordeaux players to go to Besiktas's penalty area, whether it was an attacker or a defender, and when they were running halfway through, Chilavert suddenly drove the ball out, and the ball flew high and then fell quickly, in the direction of Besiktas's goal.
Seeing Chilavert's ball, Fan Shang folded his hands and put them to his mouth, and his mouth opened wider and wider as the ball slowly smashed into the goal, but when Fan Shang saw that the ball was about to fall into the goal and was about to start cheering, with a "boom", the ball smashed on the goal crossbar, and then popped out of the bottom line.
There was a sigh all over the field, and if this goal had been scored, it would definitely be the best goal in this year's League Cup. It's a pity, it's only a few centimeters, but Fan Shang still clapped his hands and shouted Kiraveit's name, and then gave him a thumbs up.
Although the goal was not scored, it helped a lot to improve the momentum. The ball also told Besiktas, "Don't you loose, see, I can threaten your goal as long as I am near the midfield, you can do it yourself." ”
Sure enough, the two central defenders of Besiktas have withdrawn to their own half, and they are now really afraid that Bordeaux will score again, one can still find a chance, and the two will be all over. Besiktas' head coach Hashim Kara ran out of three cards early and was now gesturing from the sidelines.
Until stoppage time, the two teams still maintained a score of 1:0, and Fan Shang replaced a central defender Distin at this time to replace Shevchenko, one is to strengthen the defense, the other is to let the goal-scorer receive a separate cheer from the fans, and finally to consume the time in injury time.
There were five minutes of stoppage time, and the biggest contribution was Shevchenko's goal, which was almost enough to cover the time of the celebration.
For Bordeaux, which is now equipped with five defenders, Besiktas's attack is dry and rainy, and they still have the opportunity to cross, but now even the opportunity to cross is destroyed by Bordeaux's two full-backs. Especially on Lamotte's side, although this guy's offensive and defensive skills are rough, but with this good body and speed advantage, he forcibly blocked the attack on Besiktas's side.
Although the last five minutes were thrilling, but Fan Shang still stood on the sidelines to spend his days like a year, which may be the five minutes that Bordeaux has worried Fan the most so far this season, and Fan Shang is also the same as Besiktas's head coach Hashim Kara, constantly directing players and gesturing on the sidelines, anyway, he is not at all more idle than Chilavert, who directs the defense on the field.
With the Dutch referee's whistle, Bordeaux survived the final five minutes before they won 1-0 at home to Besiktas and 1-0 on aggregate over two legs, with Bordeaux knocking out Besiktas and reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. The next Confederations Cup match is not until March 8 next year, and the opponents will have to wait for the draw to be decided. The other seven teams that qualified were, Manchester United, Monaco, Schalke 04, Inter Milan, Anderlecht, and the remaining two dark horses, La Liga mid-table Tenerife and Danish powerhouse Brondby. Bordeaux's opponents will be drawn from these teams, with the exception of Monaco.
After qualifying for the UEFA Cup, Bordeaux followed suit. Bordeaux has been a little tired by the recent succession of games, and Vincent is still unprepared for this kind of intensive schedule, with many players playing in succession, although in good form, but their physical fitness is about to reach their limit.
Bordeaux's current real usable squad is actually a set and a half, completely lost to other multi-front opponents in bench depth, the main problem is money, Theo's wealth can only maintain the club's operation, if it is not for the high price of Zidane and Dugari this summer, now Bordeaux may not even be able to make up a decent lineup.
However, after this league game, although there is still a game in midweek, it is only a French Cup match, and the opponent is Toulouse Fontaine in the French Amateur League. So Bordeaux can give themselves a respite as long as they grit their teeth in this league.
In this league against Rennes, Vincent still sent an all-main starter, only replacing Papin with Wiltord. The reason for Wiltord is that following the general rule, players will be extra excited to play against their old club after moving to a new club, and Wiltord played for Rennes last year.
Sure enough, the regularity always makes sense, and while Bordeaux were in mediocre form overall, Wiltord was surprisingly good today, taking two of his four shots on goal and scoring two goals. In the end, Bordeaux narrowly defeated Rennes 2:1 at their home stadium and continued to lead the standings, while second-place Monaco is still struggling to catch up behind Bordeaux, and third-place Paris Saint-Germain has begun to slowly fall behind.
Bordeaux can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and some of the main players who have been playing in succession were not brought by Vincent Toulouse when he played. Because of the lack of numbers, Fan Shang remembered Arceline and Fernandez, who were still waiting in the reserves, and finally managed to gather 18 people and go to Toulouse to play.
Of course, even these personnel are not an amateur club can resist, Bordeaux's exercise-based lineup defeated the opponent with a score of 4:0, for this score Vincent is still not satisfied, after the end of the game ruthlessly down Drogba, this guy didn't even score a goal today, either a plane or a shot missed, half a year of shooting training are fed to the dogs, the face shot in the previous game is also complete luck, Fan Shang and Alofs decided to let Drogba's training intensity strengthen again after a study, He scored 200 goals in every training session, and slept on the training pitch after finishing his life.
Fortunately, Drogba is a person who knows what is good and bad, and understands that Fan Shang also hates iron and steel, so he silently accepted this decision, and told himself in his heart to contact him more hard.
After the match against Toulouse's club Fontaine, the Bordeaux soldiers split up in two ways, with the players and coaches in Toulouse flying from Toulouse to Corsica, and the men in Bordeaux flying directly from Bordeaux to Corsica. It was Bordeaux's last game before the winter break, away to Bastia, who won at home in the first round, and Vincent didn't want to miss the opportunity this time away.
The final score of the match was 0:1, and Bordeaux won away from home, but Bordeaux also paid a heavy price. Sweeping midfielder Dudier was tackled to the ground during the game before being stretchered off the pitch. Finally, when I was examined in the hospital, it was a severe sprain to my ankle, which had affected my bones. Dudière will have to rest for at least three months before he can recover, but it is even more difficult to say whether he will dare to work so hard at that time. It was the first piece of bad news, and there were several more to follow, right-back Toyes was also injured in a collision, but he held out until the end of the game, but the final diagnosis was a thigh muscle strain, and he didn't have to think about the game for a month. In the end, the least injured was Papin, although it was also a strain, he only needed half a month of rest before he could play.
"It's finally time to take a break," said Vincent, who was sitting in his office drinking tea with François.
"Congratulations, Vincent," François said, "and with such a good result in the first half of the season, I think the league title this season is almost decided." ”
"Who knows" Fan Shang was a little proud when he spoke, he was quite satisfied with his performance in the first half of the season, that is, the undefeated golden body in the league so far is enough to make Fan Shang's position as solid as a rock. "Football is round, we can't take it lightly, we have to add some combat power during the winter break, and I don't know how much money Theo can pay?"
