Chapter 241: The FIFA Virus

Both teams started the game with a FIFA virus. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although they are all remnants, Bordeaux's substitution thickness is obviously stronger than Marseille's, and the years in Ligue 2 have worn out Marseille's heritage enough, and they can now slowly pick up the glory of their giants.

But Bordeaux didn't give them that chance today, and under Shevchenko, Bordeaux won 2-0 against Marseille, Shevchenko also scored his first goal since his comeback, and the other goal was scored by Belleron.

A master is a master, and he can always give people the feeling of surprise, and this time Belleron's goal was a sound strike, obviously pushing the ball to the far corner with the arch of the foot, but at the moment of the foot, it turned into a provocation to the near corner.

After this league game, Bordeaux finally waited for a full line-up, Song returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, and Chilavert and Gamara also returned to the team with a good third place in the South American qualifiers.

There is also Drogba, he came back earlier than the others, Ivory Coast was eliminated early, this guy flew back to the team the next day, and continued his training, although the shot in preparation has not yet met Fan Shang's requirements, but his progress Fan Shang can be seen clearly in the system.

With the last fixture left in January's intensive schedule, and with the Carabao Cup still a fixture, Bordeaux can now finally catch their breath. However, it is just a respite, and the schedule in the second half of February and March is dense and numbing, with league and various cup competitions.

However, this year, Vincent really has to thank the French Football Federation, who reduced the number of teams in the league from 20 to 18, so that Bordeaux can play four fewer games a year, which effectively alleviates the fatigue of the team.

However, from the perspective of football development, this is really not very scientific. At that time, the decision was made for the '98 World Cup, and it would be good to say that France won the championship according to history, but if it didn't win the championship, then the Football Association would definitely be a big deal.

The last League Cup match in January was against Le Mans in the second division, and Bordeaux finally had their first home game in the Cup.

The city of Le Mans is known as the Cité de la Movée in France, and their 24 Hours of Le Mans are world-renowned for their motor racing event. But compared to their racing career, their football club in France can only be described as bleak, not to mention the previous honors, and now Le Mans is a team in Ligue 2 that needs to be relegated.

This time, Le Mans took a straight abandonment strategy for this game, and the players were more like they were visiting Bordeaux, and their relegation situation did not allow them to fight Bordeaux in the Carabao Cup.

So the result was clear, with Bordeaux beating Le Mans 6-1 at home to qualify for the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

It may be that God sees Bordeaux's schedule this year too hard, so he took pity on Bordeaux in the League Cup, and the opponent in the quarterfinals is a semi-professional team Poitiers.

February was a relatively easy month for Bordeaux, but it was also a month for fitness, with only two cup games in addition to the league, one of which was against the likes of Poitiers.

Therefore, Fan Shang has been discussing with the physical trainer since February how to make the players store enough physical energy to cope with the continuous vicious battles in three, four, five and three months.

The strength and conditioning coach didn't care about it, but on his side, he decided to adopt a rotation strategy throughout February, with the main players rotating down to rest.

With this strategy in mind, Bordeaux began their rotation for the upcoming league game against Montpellier, but this was done without compromising the results.

Led by several internationals who had been rested in the previous game, Bordeaux fought bloodlessly, winning 2-0 at home to Montpellier, with Sanuno and Wiltord on the scoresheet.

Next is the League Cup quarterfinals match with Poitiers, Poitiers is definitely the biggest dark horse in the League Cup this season, they have been playing since the first round, although their previous opponents Nimes, Le Havre and so on are so mediocre in Bordeaux's eyes, but put on Poitiers it is a miracle.

The team's successive victories in January and February made the Bordeaux players swell again, and this time even Fan Shang felt that he was nine out of ten, and he was resigned to the team's state.

But that's not the case with Poitiers, who have been struggling in France's fourth tier for a long time, have finally taken the opportunity to show themselves in front of the national fans and more importantly the media, and this match against the league leaders, two-time UEFA Cup winners Bordeaux is the perfect platform for them to show themselves.

Vincent realized his mistake only after the start of the match, and he mistook Poitiers for Le Mans, "Hey! If you are careless, you can't take all the lower league teams you encounter as giving up, maybe there are still those who want to step on the shoulders of Bordeaux to get on the top! ”

In this game, Vincent really sent all the substitutes, and the most obvious point was that the third goalkeeper named Aldani Bordeaux stood in front of the goal.

Poitiers's strength is definitely a big difference in Bordeaux, even if it is these substitutes on the field, those Poitiers are just like playing, but now the problem is that Poitiers's players are like dying one by one, he is desperate, Bordeaux's players are afraid of injury, one advance and one retreat, Bordeaux was pressed by Poitiers on the field for 5 minutes.

Fan Shang couldn't sit still at this time, and began to stand on the sidelines to direct the game, in fact, there was nothing to command, from Bordeaux's point of view, Poitiers was full of holes all over his body, and grabbing one at random would be a goal.

In the 8th minute, the goal did come, the midfielder of Poitiers made a tackle in the middle of the field, cut off Malouda's dribble, and then climbed up without stopping and passed the ball to the striker. The striker didn't even look at the goal, and after receiving the ball, he saw that there was a gap in front of him, took a step, raised his foot and shot. The shot was a fast shot that went straight into the top left corner of the Bordeaux goal. Poor Alduni finally got the opportunity to play, but he didn't expect the opponent to shoot such an inexplicable ball.

Poitiers 1:0 gave them a lead at Bordeaux's home stadium.

"But, Poitiers No. 9 Bounoit" is now also a short and feeble recitation.

While Poitiers was celebrating, Vincent was pointing at the noses of the three centre-backs who came on today, and the main responsibility for the goal was that they didn't step forward to press the number nine.
