Chapter 343: Another Super Cup is coming
Chelsea's starting list today was seen by Fan Shang, and he didn't even send several of their elders on the field, and he hid two. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but just like that, their average age is also 30.
Chelsea used a 442 formation, goalkeeper De Juye, four defenders, Ferrer, Leboeuf, Desailly and Le Sox, midfielders, Dubury, Di Matteo, Wise, Babayaro, forwards, Gianfranco Zola and Casirachi.
The age of the front and back field is quite old, especially Vialli and Petroscu have not yet played, and the midfield can still be younger, but Di Matteo is also 28.
Bordeaux today still used this year's new tactics, 451, goalkeeper Chilavert, back four, Sagnor, Gallas, Distin and Abidal, midfielder, Makelele, Ballack, Pire, Mendieta and Wiltord, single striker Drogba.
Vincent put Wiltord on the pitch today, and if paired with Drogba, the striker, who is quite accomplished in picking up leaks, can still keep up with him, although he is now classified as a midfielder, but his main responsibility today is to score.
Before kick-off, Vincent still shook hands with the opposing head coach as usual, and Italian Vialli, as a head coach and player, although there are many such cases on the football field, but now it is becoming less and less.
"Hello" Vincent and Vialli met for the first time.
"Hello, congratulations on your great results last season." Vialli also said politely.
"Thank you, I hope you have a good season as well, the world champion centre-back combination." Vincent still praised the French players, but also, the combination of Desailly and Leboeuf is the combination of the World Cup final.
"Hehe" Vialli just smiled.
The two people, who had no friendship at all, returned to their respective positions.
At the beginning of the game, Bordeaux kicked off first, and today Bordeaux still started in the middle first, and then moved to both sides, and the regulator of the midfield was still Ballack.
However, in order to make Chelsea unable to understand Bordeaux's tactics, Vincent told Ballack to make more long passes in the opening period, find Drogba more, and let Chelsea relax their vigilance on Bordeaux's flanks before starting the pre-match tactics.
Ballack then complied with Vincent's wishes, and in the second minute, Ballack made a long pass directly to Drogba, and neither Leboeuf nor Desailly knew Drogba very well, although he played in Ligue 1 but it was still not to the extent that everyone knew it.
Leboeuf stepped forward to interfere with Drogba's aerial duel, but Drogba didn't jump at all, leaning on this Leboeuf to stop the ball directly with his chest. At this time, Leboeuf was unable to move by Drogba. I could only watch as Drogba passed the ball to Wiltord at the edge of the box.
Wiltord faced Desailly, the senior of the national team, probably a little scared, and didn't even dare to enter the penalty area, so he shot directly at the top of the arc. The quality of such a hasty shot can be imagined, De Huye did not move, watching the ball fly off the line.
This was the first attack, and Fan Shang didn't care too much.
Bordeaux defended more aggressively today than in previous games, with Vincent relying on the youthfulness of his players and asking them to push as hard as possible against the Chelsea veterans. Increasing the tempo is Vincent's strategy specifically for Chelsea, after all, these people are all older, and Bordeaux will definitely have a greater advantage at the same running distance.
Especially for their two strikers, the two Italians were not known for their running when they were younger, and even worse when they got older, with Makelele and Ballack following them on the defensive, forcing them to run more to get the ball.
In particular, Claude Makelle, in the 7th minute of a defense, directly tackled Zola, although he received a yellow card, but also made the veteran run harder to avoid the Bordeaux defense. And the other Italian, Casiracchi, also kicked more and more to the side, and did not dare to go to the middle.
In this way, the two forwards were basically suppressed by Bordeaux, and Chelsea had to attack from midfield. Roberto Di Matteo has been at the heart of Chelsea's attack.
At this point, one of the Chelsea squads was on the verge of getting moving, and he saw what Claude Makelle had just done, and his emotions were coming up. This man is Chelsea's captain on the field, "The Angry Mouse" Wise, who is not tall, has a fierce style of play and fierce movements.
Sure enough, his evil guy cells began to haunt him, in the 13th minute, after Wiltord received Drogba's ferry, he finally mustered up the courage to rush into the penalty area, but before he raised his foot, the "angry mouse" hit him from behind, Wiltord rolled on the ground for several laps before stopping, although there was no big problem, but Wise's back hit was really bad.
However, I don't know if the referee was blocked from view or deliberately, he only verbally warned Wise, and did not even give him a yellow card.
Fan Shang once again began to talk with the fourth official, and on the field, Makelele and others also surrounded the referee, and even the captain Chilavert ran here to reason with the referee. However, the crowd did not change anything, and the referee still insisted on his decision, only giving Bordeaux a free kick from the edge of the box.
Since Chilavert had already come, he deservedly took the ball, but it didn't hit the frame and flew off the line.
When Vincent was taking a free-kick from his team, Vincent pulled past Makelele, who was defending in the back, and gave him some orders. Makelle then spoke to Barak.
Ballack nodded, and then when Chelsea attacked, Ballack brought down Di Matteo with an exact move like Wise, and now it will be up to the referee to decide the penalty.
Fan Shang walked up to the fourth official, "Sir, if he gave us a yellow or red card for the same foul, shouldn't Wise have added another one just now?" ”
"Uh......" The fourth official had nothing to say at this point.
The referee couldn't do anything at this time, so he could only treat everyone equally and give Ballack a verbal warning.
"Okay, we've got the pulse." Fan Shang was happy in his heart, your referee is not partial, then how Chelsea fouls, then how can we Bordeaux come.
In the 24th minute, Leboeuf failed several times in the scramble with Drogba, and this time he finally couldn't take it anymore and pushed Drogba from behind when he jumped. However, the referee did not take out the cards, but only gave Bordeaux a free kick.
Vincent made a gesture and Gallas threw Casiraghi to the ground in the same way after a subsequent Chelsea attack, and the referee made the same decision this time.
