The overall situation of today's game has been decided, and Fan Shang was very relaxed in the last few minutes chatting with a few assistant coaches. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the game was over, the fans stood up and applauded Bordeaux's three brilliant goals. Seeing such enthusiasm from the fans, the players began to go around the pitch to greet the fans, and Fan Shang was also involved.

After the game, Fan Shang took Belleron to participate, this time Belleron was the first time to attend a press conference after arriving in Bordeaux, so for various questions, he felt a little at a loss, Fan Shang told him before that if he didn't want to answer, it was inconvenient, so Belleron ended his first press conference with more than a dozen inconveniences.

In the other matches of the European Champions Cup, which ended at the same time, most of the big teams emerged, with Juventus beating Feynoord 5-1 and Newcastle beating Barcelona 3-2 in some of the big matches. And the biggest upset of this round appeared in Bordeaux's old rival Monaco, although their strength is not enough in front of the European powerhouses, but today in the face of the strength is not as good as their own Sporting Lisbon, Monaco lost in Lisbon, they appeared in the same predicament as Gothenburg, prematurely used up the substitutions in their hands, and finally they swallowed three shots away from home, losing 0:3 to Sporting Lisbon.

After the first round of matches, Bordeaux beat Bayern with an extra goal difference and occupied the top spot in the group, Bayern Munich won Besiktas 2:0 in this round, and is now second in the group, and the third and fourth places are Besiktas and Gothenburg with 0 points.

The Champions Cup made Bordeaux very happy, and Theo also came to cheer the players on a special occasion, and promised that if they can achieve good results in the Champions Cup, the prize money will be huge.

However, what is called a disaster is not a blessing, in the league after the Champions Cup victory, Bordeaux did not continue their good form in the Champions League.

In the face of Vincent's bitter opponent Strasbourg, the two teams played a quiet 90 minutes, and the final score was as dull as the situation on the field, with a 0-0 score that allowed Bordeaux to usher in a second draw in the league.

The score is not the biggest problem, the most serious thing is that Bordeaux suffered an injury for the first time this season, and the injury was Bordeaux's main striker Shevchenko this year. Shevchenko was overturned by Ismail in a counter-attacking collision after injuring his tarsal bone last season, causing a leg muscle injury that required a month or two of rest.

A week later, Bordeaux faced Marseille at home, and Vincent used the duo of Wiltord and Papin up front, and it worked out well, with one goal for each of them, as Bordeaux beat Marseille 2-0 at home.

In fact, Marseille's squad this year has improved a lot compared to last year, and they have brought in a large number of well-known stars in the summer, such as the main central defender of the French national team, Blanco, the former Bordeaux striker Dugarry, the Italian pulsatilla Lavanelli and so on.

However, at this stage they have not been effectively glued together, and their head coach Courbis has not yet developed a strategy to make these stars work, and Bordeaux veteran Dugarry was on the bench for today's game.

However, the 44-year-old young coach this year is still relatively level, and he has been the head coach of Bordeaux for 3 years. This first round of the cycle may not be enough for Marseille, but in the second stage, if these stars can be integrated into Marseille's system, the combat effectiveness will be considerable.

After the league season, the second round of the Champions League group is also coming one after another, this time Bordeaux will travel to Istal to take on Besiktas. The black fans in the stands last year are still a little scared when Fan Shang thinks about it now.

Besiktas's fans didn't shout very loudly, but the most terrifying thing about them was the clapping and stomping, especially the stomping, which made people feel like the stadium was about to collapse. In addition, during the last away game, there were some discordant slogans and voices in the stands, and Bordeaux appealed to UEFA on the matter, and UEFA also punished Besiktas. Unexpectedly, it was really a narrow road, and last year's League Cup, this year, we met again in the Champions Cup.

With the experience of the last time, this time Bordeaux only came to Istanbul a day early, and training and stepping on the field directly combined into one step. And Bordeaux also made a point of communicating with Besiktas before arriving at the hotel in Istanbul, hoping that the evening would not be influenced by local fans.

Besiktas, despite their strong style of play, are still very professional. After Bordeaux made its request, the club Besiktas also successfully communicated with the local police, who will be responsible for the security of the hotel where Bordeaux is staying.

Fortunately, there was no incident overnight, so that the players up and down Bordeaux could have a good night's rest and be able to meet the next day's game with full fitness.

Besiktas's lineup this year is not much different from last year's, with only minor changes on a few substitutes.

Compared to last year's starting line-up, this year's Besiktas made a substitution in several positions, with the goalkeeper being Fefors, four defenders Dunche, Zafre, Ozalaan, Elkan, four midfielders, Mehmet, Jankov, Taifur, Kocaeli, and forwards Nigerian Amokach and Oktayi. In addition to a few people in the midfield who have changed a lot compared with last year, no one has changed in the back line and forward line, and last year's main goalkeeper Marmić has retired from the No. 1 goalkeeper to the No. 2 goalkeeper this year due to age.

Bordeaux is still the regular 442, with goalkeeper Chilavert, back four Lizarazu, Song, Gamara and Sagnol, double midfielders Dacourt and Makelele, Pire and Nedved in midfield, and Wiltord and Papin in strikes.

Bordeaux is playing away today, and what Vincent told the players before the game is that they can get a draw, the main thing is to pay attention to life safety and always watch out for clutter outside the field.

Today's Besiktas fans may have learned the lesson of last year, they didn't set off fireworks or throw debris today, but just slapped and stomped, hoping to affect Bordeaux's performance.

The players who participated in the competition last year can already face this kind of scene very calmly, Bordeaux is a normal game, and the fear of the last time is now gone, and there is more calmness and less concerns.
