"And what do you mean?" Fan Shang asked rhetorically. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You wanted me to send an invitation, I don't know what you mean?" Zeng Jia just understood a little, but now Fan Shang was confused.

Fan Shang saw that Zeng Jia was a little anxious, and then said, "If you want to join a club now, what position do you want to get?" ”

Zeng Jia thought for a moment, and then said, "At my current age, it would be best if I could have a player-coach contract, and hopefully I can still be a substitute goalkeeper, so that I can learn more about coaching." ”

This is what Fan Shang wants to hear, after Zeng Jia finished speaking, Fan Shang said, "Mr. Zeng Jia, as you wish, now Bordeaux will give you such a position, player and coach, you as the second goalkeeper, and my assistant coach, you can systematically learn some things that you need after retirement in my coaching staff." Would you like to be the head coach of a team in the future? ”

Zeng Jia was stunned after listening to what Fan Shang said, his mouth was open and he didn't know what to say, he didn't expect Bordeaux to really provide the position he wanted.

"Mr. Zenga?" Fan Shang saw that Zeng Jia didn't speak, and then reminded him.

"Oh... Oh..."Hearing what Fan Shang said to him, Zeng Jia came back to his senses at this time, first issued a few syllables from his throat, and then took a deep breath, he really didn't know what to say now, it would be a fool not to accept such a good condition, but he couldn't make a decision in such an instant, "Mr. Fan Shang, this condition is too tempting, but I am at this age now, and I need to think about everything." ”

Fan Shang nodded, it was to give people some space to think, today Fan Shang met Zeng Jia for the first time, and he directly sent out invitations when he came up, and there was almost no room for others to stay.

"Okay, then I'll stay in Milan for two days, you can have more time to think about it." Although Fan Shang left Zeng Jia some time, this is not infinite, after all, it is now the winter break, and the team will gather again in a few days to start the second half of the season.

Zeng Jia probably understood these things as well, so he didn't let Fan Shang wait, and made a decision the next day. Originally hoping to retire in January, he extended his retirement indefinitely, signing a 0.5+1 contract at Bordeaux, his first contract as a player-coach until the end of the season, and if Zeng Jia's health allows, then he will continue to fulfill the remaining year of his contract.

finally has a reliable substitute goalkeeper, and a piece of Fan Shang's heart is gone.

In the blink of an eye, the winter break passed, and Bordeaux's actions during the winter break were only to sign free agent Zeng Jia, and the other positions did not enter or exit.

Some of the inquiries about the player's transfer intentions were also rejected by Vincent, and the reply given by Vincent was that the transfer can be discussed, but it must wait until the end of the season, and at this stage, Bordeaux will not make unnecessary transactions.

The players have no opinion, and Bordeaux's good record now helps them to increase their value, so it is acceptable to stay for another six months. Among them, there are indeed players who have begun to eye-to-eye with other clubs, which Fan Shang can also see, but Fan Shang will not break it, which is not good for everyone, and what Bordeaux needs at this stage is harmony and strength.

Bordeaux will be in full squad on January 3 after returning from the winter break, but two have already returned directly to the national team to report, with Song and Drogba set to travel to the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon and Ivory Coast respectively, and they will not be in the Bordeaux squad for almost the entire January. The other two, Chilavert and Gamarra, will not be able to return to Bordeaux until three days later, after participating in the World Cup qualifiers in South America.

Bordeaux's first match of 1998 will be the Carabao Cup, which is played away against National League side Mulhouse.

The game was all about preparing for Bordeaux, who sent a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, and Zenga, who had just joined the team less than a week ago, appeared in the starting lineup, but Zenga was still in good shape, after all, he had been guarding the goal in the United States last year, and he was in the state of an athlete both physically and mentally.

The result of this game was also very simple, Bordeaux won 5-0 away from this underdog team and successfully qualified for the next round of the League Cup.

Bordeaux also won their first league game after the winter break, against Bastia.

Before this match, in view of the previous unpleasantness of the two teams in Corsica, Vincent decisively issued a must-kill order, that is, this home game, Bordeaux must win, and the bigger the score, the better.

So from the first minute of the game until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Bordeaux were attacking with all their might.

Bordeaux definitely belongs to the kind of team that either doesn't attack, and if it starts, it's out of control. After a five-goal win in the Carabao Cup, Bordeaux were also on the back foot at home, with five goals leaving Bastia with no temper at all.

Five goals belonged to four players, with Bordeaux leading the way in the first half with three goals from Andre Pire, Nedved and Wiltord, while the two goals in the second half were scored by veteran Papin, who came off the bench to take his tally for the season to 14.

Although this number is not outstanding in the year-on-year scorer list, it is still a small number. But it would be a feat to say that the veteran Papan basically scored so many goals on the bench.

What reason is there for Papin to be inferior to the French national team with such efficiency, so before the next warm-up game, Fan Shang went to Jacques again to communicate about Papin and Wiltord playing for the country, and also mentioned the fact that the teenager Sanunno gave up playing for Algeria and chose to wait for the call of the French team.

This time, Jacques's response was finally positive, and Jacques saw the performance of Papan and Wiltord, and he clearly told Fan Shang this time that the friendly match with Spain on the 28th of this month will be a test for Papan and Wiltord, hoping that the two can maintain their current state.

Since Yakai agreed to his request, Fan Shang was also in a good mood, and asked if he needed to go to the national team to help out. After finishing speaking, Fan Shang felt that he should really slap his two mouths.
