Chapter 344: Stalemate
Fan Shang gave Gallas a thumbs up, "Gallas is very good, it's good to draw scoops according to the gourd."
Vialli also saw Fan Shang's sinister intentions at this time, although Chelsea does not suffer any losses now, but it is difficult to say after a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Vialli also kept gesturing to the players on the field to make the team attack quickly, he wanted to score a goal quickly and not let the team drag on any longer.
However, one of the two strikers did not dare to take the ball, and the other avoided the side, how to attack, and the two Italian veterans were not too senior with him, and they treated the two of them as friends, and they couldn't do anything to the two of them.
Di Matteo and Wise are powerless, Di Matteo is desperate to be able to take the ball over the halfway line under the protection of Wise, and someone will come forward to interfere before he reaches the range of the long shot, and Chelsea's two wing midfielders Babayaro and Dubury can create some opportunities, but if the cross, Chelsea's middle is unmanned, and Zola really can't let Zola grab the header.
So Di Matteo didn't split the ball to the sides, either looking for an opportunity to pass to Zola, or shooting himself, or being cut off by Bordeaux.
However, Bordeaux's attack was not very smooth, and Chelsea's two wings did not contribute much in attack, but they were conscientious in defence, leaving Mendieta and Pire with few chances.
The first half was basically played between fouls and fouls, and Fan Shang's previous strategy of walking on both sides after a long pass did not work.
At the end of halftime, the score of the two teams remained at 0:0 for the time being, and neither side took advantage of anything. Although Bordeaux is slightly better offensively, Wiltord is obviously inferior to Belleron in the handling of opportunities, he is suitable for picking up leaks in front of the goal, not suitable for creating opportunities for himself, and he also faces the big brother of the national team, and loses first in momentum.
In the second half, Vincent replaced Wiltord at the beginning of the game and replaced it with Sanuno, Belleron's body was a little thin, and Vincent was afraid that Wise would go crazy and scrap Belleron again.
However, Ballack's position at this time is also a little more advanced, although he and Sanunno are not forwards, but if they receive Drogba's pass within range, they can also pose a big threat to the Chelsea goal.
Sure enough, not long after the start of the second half, Bordeaux followed Fan Shang's routine to attack.
It was Mendieta who launched the attack, and after dribbling to attract two defenders, he distributed the ball to Sagnol, who then crossed from Thagnior and Drogba was caught between Desailly and Leboeuf, but his header was not directed towards goal, but he struggled to cross the ball just outside the box.
Sanuno, who had just come on the field in the second half, received the ball and shot, his shot was very clever and not very powerful, but the arc was very weird, flying to the upper right corner of the goal.
The ball hit the crossbar and the post, and was then kicked out of the box by Ferrer, who had returned to the defence.
"Papapa" Vincent stood on the sidelines and applauded Bordeaux's attack this time, but unfortunately, this time Chelsea saw the routine, and next time it will not be so easy, after all, how can the defenders know that Drogba will play outside the penalty area, but next time Chelsea has defense, Bordeaux's routine will not be easy to play.
Chelsea's side couldn't sit still, their first substitution was incomprehensible to Vincent, Vialli replaced Di Matteo with Poyet in the 58th minute, but seeing Di Matteo's breathless breath after the game, Vincent also understood. Di Matteo was running alone with Chelsea today, so it's normal for him to have fitness problems now.
However, this Poyet clearly did not have the ability of Di Matteo, and Chelsea were gradually pressed by Bordeaux, who were more defensive against Bordeaux's attack.
However, Bordeaux still made Chelsea feel the pulse a little, Wise kept running around in front of the penalty area, just afraid of Bordeaux's long-range shot, and Sanunno's shot just now made him break out in a cold sweat.
So for a while, Bordeaux didn't have any chances, but Drogba came to hit the goal with a few headers, although there was no threat, but it would also have some impact on the judgment of the central defenders on him.
Until the 70th minute of the game, the two teams were still 0:0, Vialli made two substitutions in one go, replacing the two Italian compatriots Zola and Casiraci, and replacing the other two Nordic stars, Danish star Laudrup Jr. and Norway's air tyrant Flo, both of whom performed well in this year's World Cup.
The two men are now in their prime and are not afraid of physical confrontation, especially Flo, whose presence has opened the eyes of two Chelsea wings to crosses.
In the 73rd minute, Nigerian Babayaro finally showed his small skills, one-on-one past Mendieta and then decisive cross, Flo just came on the field with momentum, jumped high in the penalty area to prepare for a header, but he never expected that in front of him a black tower blocked the light above his head, in Flo's incredible eyes, Distin yelled and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
"Slap" Fan Shang couldn't help but slap when he saw this ball, this ball completely showed Distin's physical fitness, although he was a few centimeters shorter than Flo, but the natural advantage of the black man allowed him to beat Flo to grab the header.
Just when the whole Chelsea team was a little stunned, they heard Vincent shouting "counterattack" from the sidelines!! ā
Makelele didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Ballack, and then Bordeaux turned and ran towards the Chelsea penalty area with all but the two centre-backs and Makelele.
Chelsea's defenders were only a few in the middle, and the players on the wing were still immersed in the shock of Flo's defeat in the aerial battle, and their reaction was significantly slower than the Bordeaux players.
Ballack instantly saw the gap on both sides and directly distributed the ball to Pire, the reason why Piret was chosen was because Pire's speed was faster than Mendieta, and now Bordeaux wants speed.
After Pire got the ball, the wind ran forward, and Chelsea full-back Ferrer, who was already behind Pire, was completely unable to keep up with Pire's pace.
Pire kept taking the ball and cutting inside, until he faced Desailly face to face, "Robert, come on" Vincent cheered for Pire in his heart, and Wiltord's performance in the first half made Vincent very dissatisfied, and now I don't know what will happen to Pire.
Pire was also a little afraid of the big brother of the national team, but seeing Wiltord being replaced by Vincent without hesitation in the second half, Pire also had a fighting spirit in his heart at this time.
