Chapter 22: The First Appearance

Once the game began, the Bordeaux youth team began to defend in full swing after the first attack on the kick-off was fruitless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the middle of the midfield, Sanunno led the sweep at the back, so most of the Limoges youth team's attacks were launched from the wings, followed by crosses. However, with two centre-backs in the penalty area of the Bordeaux youth team, Distin and Abidal, the two of them almost covered all the high balls, making the Limoges youth team have nowhere to go against the Bordeaux youth team's defense.

Throughout the first half, Bordeaux youth did not give Limoges any chance to shoot, but it was a couple of counter-attacks from Bordeaux that created some threat.

In the 25th minute, Drogba received a long pass from the backfield, carried the defender with his body and gave the ball to Sanuno, who ran forward to respond, after the pass, Drogba turned into the penalty area and started hand-to-hand combat with several defenders of the Limoges youth team. Sanunno dribbled a few steps and passed the ball to Drogba's head in the box, which was Drogba showing his terrifying physicality, jumping up to head the ball in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing three, although the ball was deflected, but scared the opposing defender and goalkeeper into a cold sweat.

In the 40th minute, it was Drogba's cooperation with Sanunno again, taking advantage of Drogba's vacancy to lead away the opposing defenders, Sanunno pulled out his feet and shot from a distance, and the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper and then destroyed by the defender.

In the 45th minute, Sanunno counter-attacked and took the ball to the side, the wide player crossed, Drogba held the defender to stop the ball and turned to shoot, the ball was deflected off the post.

The quality of several counter-attacks in the first half of the Bordeaux youth team was significantly better than the previous one, with Drogba and Sanunno echoing, Sanunno was no longer alone in the attack, and Drogba had more chances. At halftime, Fan Shang affirmed the team's offense and defense, and Fan Shang hoped to start attacking as soon as the second half started, lasting 15 minutes, hoping to catch the opponent off guard and strive for goals.

At the start of the second half, the Bordeaux youth players obediently took the initiative to press the attack, which was not expected by the Limoges youth team. In the absence of a good response, the entire Limoges youth team looked chaotic, and the Bordeaux youth team took advantage of the chaos to create a few chances, but none of them scored.

In the 58th minute of the game, there were two more minutes for the Bordeaux youth team to continue to defend according to Vincent's plan, and the attack was still ineffective for 13 minutes, which made them a little impatient. At this time, the Bordeaux youth team fullback crossed, Drogba was still fighting with the opponent's central defender, the two jumped in hand-to-hand combat, the opposing central defender pushed Drogba in the air, Drogba did not grab the point, and the opposing central defender also lost his balance because of this push, and pushed the ball out of the bottom line when he cleared the siege. Bordeaux won a corner, their first of the game, when two centre-backs, Disstin and Abidal, also arrived in the opposition penalty area to compete for the ball. Distin, Abidal and Drogba, three black men who are obviously stronger and taller than the other players, stood in the opponent's penalty area, causing a riot among the opposing defenders. Drogba in front, Distin in the middle, Abidal in the back, the ball flew over the heads of Drogba and Distin and fell to the back point, Abidal jumped up with a header, the goalkeeper reacted quickly, dragged the ball a little, and then the ball flew to the front of the goal. At this time, Drogba appeared in front of the ball, leaned against the defender, and reached out to touch the ball into the goal.

"Good!" Fan Shang jumped up from his seat and waved his arms, very excited. Drogba ran over to Hug Vincent and shouted "I scored, I scored" and was very excited about his first goal for the club. Fan Shangke was offended, and was overwhelmed by this big man, and kept pushing him again, but obviously this had no effect. Drogba let go of Fan Shang after a while, Fan Shang quickly took a long breath of fresh air, and originally wanted to say a few words to Drogba but was not embarrassed to speak, so he shouted at the players on the field, "Start defending." Vincent patted Drogba again, "Didil, continue to make trouble in the front court, and improve efficiency in the counterattack"

"Okay, no problem," replied Drogba, who was still excited

Fan Shang nodded at him, "Go ahead, strive for another one"

The rest of the game seemed to be back to the opening stages, with the Bordeaux youth team returning to defence across the board, leaving only one Drogba to fight the opposition centre-backs up front. The Limoges youth team has no way to defend the Bordeaux youth team, knowing that there are not a few decent shots at the end of the game, mainly because Distin and Abidal are in the penalty area, and the ball passed by the Limoges youth team to the penalty area is basically destroyed by these two, where to shoot?

On the contrary, the counterattack of the Bordeaux youth team was impressive, although it was not able to score again in the end, but the counterattack routine has been well practiced. Fan Shang felt that it was okay to win, and now he not only won the game, but also practiced counterattacks, so Fan Shang was very satisfied.

After the game, Fan Shang still praised all the players, focusing on the four players that Fan Shang values. Then it was necessary to find out some shortcomings, and Fan Shang said that the counter-attack was not efficient enough, and the wing defense gave the opponent too many cross opportunities. Carrot and stick is Fan Shang's favorite means, Fan Shang believes that if you win the game, you will first give the carrot and then increase the stick, if you lose the ball, you will first slap and then give a sweet date, and if you draw, it depends on whether the court is done according to your own arrangement. Anyway, Fan Shang decided to use this trick to the end.

In the next month, Fan Shang has led the team to play four games, 3 wins and one draw Fan Shang is still relatively satisfied, Fan Shang has passed 6 games since he arrived at the U19, has not lost, conceded only one goal, or a penalty. Fan Shang is very satisfied with this, the two central defenders Distin and Abidal have improved rapidly under the tutelage of Battistone, and can basically walk sideways at the U19 age group, although the speed is still a little slow, but the high ball into the penalty area is basically covered by the two of them. And Drogba's skills have also improved, originally stopped the ball can only be returned, basically not able to dribble the ball, now can also take two steps, still very Inzaghi fourth step style.

And the most surprising thing for Vincent is Lamotte, who gradually found a feeling in Battistone's abuse, although his personality is a little impulsive, he still likes to grab in defense, but he has learned how to use his strong body to make a reasonable impact on the attacking players, those wide players of the Bordeaux youth team have been hit by him, and in attack he is still lacking, can only dribble, the quality of crosses is poor, but his powerful free kicks and grenade throw-ins still give the whole team a shock. His powerful free kick range up to 40 meters, the advantage is that the strength of the goalkeeper can not be directly held, can only hit or drag out of the bottom line, and the disadvantage is that he often flies, he plays football according to the kicking force of rugby, often the ball flies to the rugby goal in his mind, but the rugby goal and the football goal are reversed (the rugby goal is shaped like a slingshot standing on the ground, the goal range is the U-shaped space in the middle of the slingshot, and the score is only scored when shot there, The lowest part of the door post is about as tall as a football goalpost. So his free-kicks often flew high off the line. The grenade throw-in is quite easy for him, and this skill is quite useful in attack, especially now that the team has three high points: Drogba, Distin and Abidal. What surprised Fan the most was Lamotte's potential rating, with 81% potential rating at right-back in the best position, 75% at left-back, and he can also play in other positions on the left and right, with a potential rating of more than 70%. Pervert, the potential is higher than that of Lizarazu.
