Chapter 197: Steady

Tigana was also very angry when he saw that Fan Shang actually used such foul tactics, and kept negotiating with the fourth official, and pointed at Fan Shang from time to time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Shang knew what Tigana was saying, and gave Tigana a disdainful expression on the surface, which made Tigana, who was already very angry, even more annoyed. The fourth official was also fed up with Tigana's temper and called the referee to warn Tigana, and Tigana, who wanted to continue arguing, could only return to his seat with a curse.

When Tigana looked over, Fan Shang squeezed his eyebrows at him, which made Tigana's mood even more inflammatory. Tigana angrily ran to the fourth official's place to complain about Fan Shang, and when he saw the fourth official's gaze, Fan Shang helplessly spread his hands.

The fourth official nodded to Vincent, and then very politely invited Tigana back to his seat.

Now that the game has been played for 65 minutes, Gattuso's arrival and Vincent's lethal tactics have made Bordeaux's defense much more solid than in the first half, except for direct free kicks.

In the 70th minute, Monaco made another substitution, and Benabia, who was no longer afraid to touch the ball due to fouls, was replaced by Collins, a Scotsman with a tougher style of play.

When Fan Shang saw the Scotsman on the field, he suddenly wanted to make some bad sense. If Vincent doesn't make a move this year, Gattuso will go to Scotland to exercise for a while, his wildness is the fastest growing at that time, and now he doesn't go to Scotland, his wild Vincent is also ready to look for in the Scottish players. Immediately, Vincent called Gattuso, pointed him to Collins, and told him to follow Collins.

Collins is also an absolutely bloody man, he has been a football and rugby double training since he was a child, and Gattuso, a brute boy, and this Scottish tough guy began to fight each other.

Gattuso broke the ball and sent Collins to the ground, who stood up and slapped his socks and continued to play as if nothing had happened. Fan Shang was stunned, he didn't perform like this, tough guy.

In the ensuing period, Gattuso and Collins collided a few times, and the two men quickly got back to their feet and continued to play no matter who fell to the ground.

While watching the game, Fan Shang pointed out to the players on the bench, "See, professional players should look like this!" Fan Shang pointed to Collins. Although Collins's ball skills are average, his mental state is more admired by Fan Shang.

However, as far as the situation on the field is concerned, Collins' appearance did not change the overall situation, and the court still maintained a situation of attacking and defending after the start of the second half.

Tigana, who was still full of ambition in the first half, now has no pride in the first half, and begins to pace up and down the edge of the field, and constantly complains to the fourth official about Bordeaux's big movements.

Although Bordeaux has more fouls and big movements, they are all clean, either they tackle the ball or they tackle people, and there will never be a situation where they deliberately kick people without touching the ball.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Monaco, which was seriously undersupported in the second half, was forced to cut into the penalty area from the side by Henry relying on his personal ability, and flashed an empty kick shot, and the ball hit the post heavily and bounced off the bottom line. It was the most dangerous attack of the second half so far.

Fan Shang is actually a little anxious now, the current Bordeaux defense is back on track, but due to the problem of form, if it drags into extra time and then to the penalty shootout, Fan Shang really can't guarantee that the Bordeaux players can last so long. Therefore, the remaining two substitutions did not dare to move, hoping that these two cards can help the team at the last moment.

In the 85th minute, Tigana finally made the last adjustment, and Trezeguet was replaced by Dior, who had a more average performance throughout the game. Monaco withdrew Henry to the winger position, which was still 343 in formation, but when it came to the real attack, the four forwards rushed to the Bordeaux defence.

More strikers does not mean that the attack can be more fluid, in fact, more strikers will affect the rhythm of the attack, if the ball to the feet of a midfielder, the pass will be their first choice, if the ball is at the feet of the striker is their first choice, just like that, Monaco completed 3 shots in 5 minutes, but the position of the shot is not the best position, and the three shots did not pose any threat to Bordeaux.

The 90 minutes of the game ended after Monaco's shot, the score was still 0:0, and now it was ready to start extra time, Fan Shang asked about the physical fitness of each player, fortunately, it was not too difficult, and they all said that there was no problem with playing another 30 minutes, and Gattuso felt that he would be able to come for another 90 minutes.

Extra time soon began, Monaco still relied on four strikers to turn over and over in Bordeaux's defense, there may be opportunities, but they will not be too good, all four people want to end the attack by themselves, Bordeaux uses this to try to prevent the two people on the far side from shooting, Monaco just looks like a lot of shots, but Bordeaux's goal is as stable as Mount Tai.

Slowly, Monaco's attack also slowed down, their fitness problems, 100 minutes of strong attack still did not break through the Bordeaux defense, so that not only physically, but also psychologically began to have some changes, the already enough waves of shooting more frequent, before they still had to shoot in the box, even if they were not in the box, they had to shoot on the edge of the box. Now they start shooting almost as soon as they can see the goal, 30 meters, 40 meters, and even Collins has a long-range shot just past the midfield.

When Fan Shang saw Monaco like this, he put his heart in his stomach, at least he could drag it out until the penalty shootout. However, seeing the Monaco players who were no longer able to run, Fan Shang had a new idea.

After the start of the second half of extra time, Vincent made two substitutions in a row, with Darkett and Dudiel being replaced by Ballack and Belleron.

Tigana is completely confused about these two players, and he doesn't know which horn these two people Fan Shang came from, they are not famous at all, looking at the tall and bulky figure and the thin body, what can these two do.

At this time, Bordeaux's formation started with Makelele, then Ballack, Belleron and Shevchenko stood in a vertical line, while Nedved and Gattuso were two maneuvering points, one attacking and one defending.

Monaco sent the ball to Chilavert again, and when he slowly retreated to the midfield, Chilavert changed his previous habit of holding the ball at his feet and then opening his big feet, and this time directly threw the ball to Ballack's feet.
