Chapter 147: A Dull Game

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams. www.biquge.info"Charbido looked at the materials in his hand, "Let's talk about the away team Schalke 04 first, the goalkeeper is Lehmann, the four defenders, Malik. Cruze, Thomas. Link, Avek. Egernlaush, Olaf. Thorn, midfielders are: Andres. Muller, Latar, Nemaker and Wilmots, Dutch centre-forward Mulder and German homegrown Martin Murder up front. Marx. ”

"This is the regular lineup of Schalke 04 and the strongest lineup that can be put out now, especially the height of Dutch center forward Mulder at 190, which will pose a great threat to Bordeaux's limited height line." Platini analysed Schalke 04's lineup on the side.

"Let's take a look at the starting line-up of the home team Bordeaux today, goalkeeper Chilavert, four defenders Lizarazu, Song, Gamara and Gallas, four midfielders, Pire, Dacourt, Makelele, Nedved, and the two forwards are Shevchenko and Drogba. Today's three referees are all from Norway," said Scharbido, reading the starting line-up according to the list in hand.

'Bordeaux's start today was a bit different from our pre-match predictions, mainly in two positions, one at right-back and one forward. Platini said with some frowns, "The back line is Gallas on Bordeaux today, although he has also appeared in this position before, but I think his best position is still central defender, his speed is not dominant in full-back, and the offensive means are not as rich as Sagnol sitting on the field today, Vincent arranged Gallas to play today may be a signal to give up the attack and prepare to defend to the death." If Fan Shang listened to Platini's analysis, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, what he said was already eight or nine years old, and Fan Shang meant to stick to it.

"On the forward line, Bordeaux's starter turned out to be the 18-year-old teenager Drogba, although he also played in the league and cup before, from the performance point of view, the body is really good, but there is still a gap in technical ability, I don't know what Fan Shang's intention is to mention him to the starting lineup today, if it were me, I should let Papin play, after all, he is the most veteran, and his experience is still very useful in the moment of locking." Platini took issue with Vincent's use of strikers.

"Okay, now that the two teams have picked sides, the game is about to start, and the first kick-off today is Schalke 04, who are wearing white shirts, while the home team Bordeaux is wearing their traditional dark blue shirts."

"Neither team seemed to want to attack first today, Schalke 04 kicked off and fell in their own backfield." The two commentators entered the game with a word and a word.

"Bordeaux didn't seem to be in a hurry today, they let Schalke 04 pass the ball at the back, the two strikers just made a symbolic run a few steps, they won't have to fight a war of attrition."

Platini heard the war of attrition and said: "If I would never use this tactic, Bordeaux will have a very difficult schedule after that, it is better for them to attack at the beginning of the game, as long as they can score within 15 minutes, and then hold for 75 minutes, then the task of promotion is completed." This is his opinion to Vincent, in fact, there is another reason that Schalke 04's pass really has nothing to say, and you can't keep reading the player's name.

"But Mr. Vincent obviously didn't have such a choice, you see that the two teams on the field are completely fighting separately, Schalke 04 is pouring the ball in his own backfield, Bordeaux is also watching Schalke 04 reverse the ball in his own backfield, why doesn't Bordeaux grab it?" Chalbido was a little impatient, to be honest, the old host who had been commenting on the French top league had never seen such a game, he felt bitter, he felt that even the games that his ten-year-old son played at school were more interesting than this game.

"Schalke 04 finally started attacking, Lattar took the ball and made a long pass directly to the top of Mulder's head, Mulder fought for this point, look at the second point, Makelele, he controlled the ball." Charbidor finally saw the first attack, and his voice rose sharply.

Platini saw that the attack was disrupted, and said: "Now the roles of Bordeaux and Schalke 04 are reversed, but Schalke 04 is more active than Bordeaux just now, their two forwards have a large range of movement when they are harassed, and Mulder's height of 190 is still so aggressive in pressing." ”

"But you see, Bordeaux's passing speed is obviously faster than Schalke 04's reverse, and if it goes on like this, the two strikers of Schalke 04 will be replaced in less than 70 minutes."

"Yes, Bordeaux is using a quick pass to avoid Schalke 04's pressing, which is a good way, but it is also very risky, if you make a mistake when you pass quickly at the back and are intercepted by the opponent, it will immediately form a single chance." Platini has been analysing the situation on the pitch all the time.

The analysis of the two of them is wonderful, but there is no such situation on the field, the two teams are completely copying each other, inverted feet and long passes, the center grabs the first landing point, the second landing point is obtained by the opponent, and then the long pass is reversed, the center grabs the first landing point, the second landing point is destroyed, and the cycle repeats, the whole first half is so boring.

At first, the two commentators chatted about tactics and something, but as the game progressed, they found that they had nothing to talk about anymore, so they began to gossip about the various players, what Papan's daughter had, how big Song's family was, where Fan Shang's father's restaurant was, etc., if it wasn't for the referee's timely whistle in the midfield, it is estimated that they would not be able to take it.

"At half-time, we saw that the score of the two teams was still 0-0, which was definitely worthy of today's dreary scene." Charbido breathed a sigh of relief, the first half of the game was finally over, and he had to collect some gossip news at halftime, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pass the second half.

When the camera cut to the live broadcast seat, Platini said with an ugly face, "I really didn't expect that a League Cup quarterfinals match could be played like this, is it because our football concept is too backward to understand the advanced or even advanced ideas of the two head coaches?" "Platini is here today, so to speak, like he is on pins and needles, and he doesn't look able to do anything at all.

Fan Shang didn't say much in the locker room at this time, today's game basically followed Fan Shang's train of thought, and this dull scene was of course expected by Fan Shang. "Take a good rest, it's still the same sentence, distribute your physical strength reasonably, don't be stingy when you should run, and don't waste it when you shouldn't run." It's about the same as before the start, "You have to be ready to play 120 minutes, today I probably won't make any substitutions in regulation time, you guys are ready. ”

At the end of the intermission, Fan Shang was still standing at the door, high-fived the players one by one, and said something different from the first half, "insist"

"Now the second half of the two teams started, the first half of the two teams were 0:0, from the field of view, no team took the initiative, the two teams can be described as evenly matched, a more accurate word should be chess opponents." Before Charbidor could finish speaking, Platini answered.

"Yes, this is probably the most rival game in the history of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals."

"If you didn't watch the first half of the game in front of the TV, congratulations, the first half was really nothing to see, and I think their games were more boring than my son's games in elementary school." Charbidor finally said what he had thought in the first half.

'Now we look at it, there were no substitutions for both teams and it looked like it was another difficult half.

"yes, let's see if the two teams will take a break at the start" Platini liked the tactic of attacking at the beginning, saying so in both halves.

"I hope so," said Charbidor helplessly, "but, judging from the personnel, this assumption is no longer valid. ”

The two began their gossip journey again, in which TÊo was deceived by someone who took a painting that was worth 100 francs and 1 million became the biggest joke of TV viewers.
