Some of the fans' passion was slightly stirred up by Fan Shang, but they were still skeptical, but they also knew that it was useless to protest here, so the head coach of the club came out to promise, and they were ready to disperse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We believe your word for it, Mr. Manager, and we will wait for good news from the club this week. If not satisfied, we will come back! The cute fans slowly dispersed with a cruel word.

Fan Shang walked back to the club, thinking to himself, "If his fame doesn't satisfy you, there's really nothing I can do." You can't go to compete with those giants in Serie A and La Liga. ”

Three days later, Bordeaux's "Southwest" newspaper reported a new transfer in Bordeaux. Pierre? Papin, for a low price of 1 million francs, returned to Ligue 1 from Bayern Munich and joined Bordeaux, the winner of last year's UEFA Cup.

Bordeaux fans finally have something to say now, as far as it is now, although Zidane is established as the core of the French team, but he is not yet a world-class star, in the hearts of French fans, their biggest star is still Papin. He is another world-class star in France after Platini, and it can be said that before Zinedine Zidane was crowned a god at the World Cup, he was the representative of French football.

Although Papin's performance has declined very much in recent years, his position in the hearts of French fans is still there, and this time it can be regarded as successfully offsetting the negative impact of selling the team's main team before. The deal won praise from the fans, who not only had nothing to say, but instead praised Fan Shang's words and put more trust in their team's head coach.

Bordeaux is also lucky to welcome back Papin, although Papin has performed dismally in recent years, but the fame is there, and 1 million francs would have been a joke if it had been placed last year. However, this time Papin was ostracized by German players at Bayern, although Beckenbauer Rummenigge still defended Papan, but in order to take care of the feelings of the local gang, he decided to let Papan go at a low price. Bordeaux also picked up such a leak. Of course, there is also the credit of Papan's former teammate on the national team, Vincent's assistant coach Battistone.

In the end, a few more players were left who were not in Vincent's plan. In this way, Bordeaux's squad for this year is complete, leaving 11 players and welcoming 12 players. This holiday Fan Shang is really addicted to FM, but Fan Shang is also aware of the problem, this year's run-in will be a big problem, at least the beginning of the season must be difficult. I can't do this in the future, as a rookie, I still forgive myself once, but after that, I must not buy and sell players on such a large scale, it will affect the stability too much.

Bordeaux squad for this year's 96-97

Goalkeepers: Chilavert, Frey, Fontaine;

Defenders: Gamarra, Zebina, Song, Distin, La Model, Lizarazu, Gernay, Toyes, Afano, Abidal;

Midfielders: Pire, Nedved, Dacourt, Sanunno, Dudielle, Cousi, Lucas, Anselin, Fernandez;

Forwards: Wiltord, Shevchenko, Drogba, Papan, Bancarel.

After Fan Shang looked at the lineup, he suddenly found that the forward line that worried him before has now become a relatively strong part of the team, and there are three generations of old, middle and young people. The midfield is a bit weak, and if it weren't for Nedved, no one would be able to hold up the midfield. The back line is quite stable, and there are a lot of panacea in the backline, and there will be people standing up in any position where the number of players is reduced. Needless to say, the goalkeeper, Chilavert is the best goalkeeper in the world in Fan Shang's heart, and Frey is also a reliable person in the future, as for the third goalkeeper, he can keep the goal, but Fan Shang himself dares to play.

Several new players have come to the club one after another, and the press conference of new signings has been held one after another, except for Papin's nuclear bomb, that is, Wiltord has made a little splash. The rest of the players were mediocre, including Nedved, Shevchenko, Chilavert.

The question that Fan Shang is worried about now is whether Papan is here, and whether Lizarazu, the captain, will continue to be the captain. It's time to talk to the two of you and come out and sit down.

In the office, Fan Shang and Pa Pan sat together, and Fan Shang gave the two of them two cups of tea. Then he said, "Pierre, first of all, welcome to our club, today I will introduce you to the current situation of our team. This is Chinese tea, you can taste it" For a dragon like Papan who crosses the river, Fan Shang still thinks that a gentle policy should be adopted.

"Thank you, Mr. Vincent" Papin stood up slightly to express his gratitude, showing the demeanor of a relatively mild-mannered big-name player.

"Don't call Mr., my players are all called my boss" Fan Shang feels that his players don't need to be too official

"All right, chief," Papan's voice was a little unnatural, but he still maintained a good demeanor

"Pierre, it may be strange to call a manager who is younger than you, but when you get to the training pitch you get used to it." Fan Shang heard Papan's voice a little strange, and he knew what he was thinking. "Let's get down to business, Pierre, I want to know if you are going back to France this time to retire or are you going to hibernate and fight for a second spring?"

Fan Shang said it very directly, which made Papan fall into deep thought for a moment. Papin said from the bottom of his heart that he was going back to Ligue 1 to retire, he experienced the rise in Marseille, joined Milan at a high price, lost himself a little in Milan, and was at odds with his teammates at Bayern, and his daughter was also seriously ill, all of which made Papin's original passion almost exhausted. Papan didn't know what to say now, and continued to remain silent, looking down in thought.

Fan Shang probably knew what Papan meant, and he had been waiting for the once powerful veteran to speak. After a long time, Papan finally reacted.

"I think I'm going to do what a professional player does." Papin sighed.

Papan's sharp spirit has basically been smoothed out by the encounters in the past few years, but Fan Shangke doesn't want an old man who eats and waits for death. He needs Papin to show his strength and lead the team forward. And he also has a selfish heart, the French national team is now missing a decisive striker, historically Papin did not participate in the 98 World Cup because of his form, the French team's forward line is incompetent (Givash, Dugarry), young too young (Henry, Trezeguet), or the road to the championship will be smoother. Vincent believes that if Papin gets back into form in Bordeaux in the past two years, he will be better than Dugari and Givashga in the 98 World Cup.

"Pierre, I really feel sad to hear you say that." Fan Shang made a gesture to cover his eyes. Papan was a little overwhelmed and wanted to stand up, but Fan Shang pressed his hand down and asked Papan to sit still. "Now think about your Papin's place in the hearts of the fans, think about how much you Papin has measured in the French football world, and think about what you just said." Saying that, Fan Shang picked up a few more newspapers from the desk, and then slapped them heavily in front of Papan's eyes, "Look at what the fans, the media, and the other players think of you." Look at what you think of you. Think about it. ”

After speaking, Fan Shang sat opposite Papan and watched Papan flip through the newspapers one by one. Almost every one of them is to welcome Papin back to China, hoping that he can regain his strength in France, hoping that Papin will be selected for the national team again and lead the team to glory again, and so on.

Papan was getting faster and faster, and he was a little agitated with the sound of breathing. He feels that he has returned to China this time can be said to be disgraced, he has been at home almost since he joined Bordeaux, like a lady, he has never read the report at all, and he has not thought that the fans, the media, teammates, friends, etc., have given him so much hope. And he only wants to be raised in Bordeaux and take care of his daughter who has congenital heart disease.

"Pierre, you see, how much hope they have given you, and you?" Fan Shang stared at Papan's eyes, "Your eyes can't deceive me, you are thinking about retirement, you are thinking about retirement!" Fan Shang took a deep breath, "I know, you're in a bad mood right now because of Emily's matter, but is it useful for you to stay by her side every day?" You're a player, not a doctor. ”
