Chapter 170: The League Cup Final

Fan Shang can't be interviewed now, he has to keep it secretive, and if there is a media interview now, no matter what the newspaper is, the effect of his previous closed training will be greatly reduced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Fan Shang, a reporter from the Celestial Empire, was not easy to refuse, "It's definitely not possible now, but I think I still have time after the League Cup final." ”

Chen Yi was still a little disappointed when he first heard that it didn't work, but the second half of the sentence made him instantly go from disappointed to excited, "Great!" Thank you, Mr. Fan Shang, how can I find you then? "Chen Yi is still a relatively careful person.

"Hehe, that's good" Fan Shang nodded, "You write down a phone number, call him when the time comes, and let him arrange it." "Say goodbye to Vincent and put Michelle. Tiniso's phone was given to Chen Yi, and after communicating with the media, it was handed over to this old brother. Fan Shang drove away under Chen Yi's repeated thanks.

Fan Shang himself felt a little cold, but he told himself in his heart not to be too enthusiastic, what he couldn't get was good, after all, Fan Shang had never been interviewed in France, and this may be his first interview.

After three days of mystery, Bordeaux took on the challenge of Inter Milan.

"Okay, go at our own pace, don't care about the opponent, we just do our best, it's got to this point, we have to do our best." Fan Shang said very plainly, but the expressions of the players below were very serious, and they knew the importance of this game.

Fan Shang discharged a 4312 formation in this game, he did not choose either Roten and Malouda, but chose to send Dudière to form a back three, the reason for this choice, one is to strengthen the defense, and the other is that Dudière has experience in last year's League Cup final, which is stronger than Roten and Malouda.

Bordeaux today goalkeeper Chilavert, the back line Lizarazu, Song, Gamarra, Sagnor, the three midfielders Dacourt, Makelele, Dudière, Nedved as a free man, the two forwards are still Wiltord and Shevchenko.

Inter Milan sent a 442 formation, the goalkeeper is now Italy's No. 2 national Pagliuca, the back line, Bergomi, Pistone, Gallante, Paganin, midfielder quartet Zanetti, Winter, Sforza, Fresi, two forwards, Guntz, the horror Ivan Zamorano. On the bench were France international Djokaeff, England midfielder Paul Ins, as well as future manager Blanca, Nigerian striker Kanu and other famous players.

Compared with Juventus and AC Milan at the same time, Inter Milan's lineup is still a little worse, but compared to Bordeaux, Inter Milan is still a level higher, at least after the highest level of Serie A. Their backline, in particular, is led by the great captain Bergomi, and several others are also top Italian defenders.

Today, Inter Milan did not rush to attack at Bordeaux's home stadium, although their attack was not weak, but the head coach Hodgson deliberately let the players control the rhythm first, to see what Bordeaux was today, he couldn't guess what Bordeaux was training in closed training, and he didn't dare to expose his strength too early.

This is actually what Fan Shang wants to see, Fan Shang didn't do anything in closed training, just training as usual, at most he practiced penalty kicks and free kicks, closed just to confuse the opponent, absolutely want to cover up, especially Fan Shang knows that Hodgson's life has not been good recently, Hodgson pinned all his hopes on this League Cup final, if he didn't win the championship, it is estimated that he would have to pack up his bed and go back to England.

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, both sides were in the tentative phase, Inter Milan controlled the ball in the middle and back, constantly watching Bordeaux, while Bordeaux retreated to their familiar position, ready to meet Inter Milan's attack.

Fifteen minutes later, Inter began to make a few tentative attacks on Bordeaux, and although they were blocked, they clearly felt that Bordeaux's counter-attack was not as sharp as they had imagined. So started to press on the big and started to attack unbridled in the Bordeaux half.

Although the main road of today's Inter Milan midfield also sent two back players, they are not Bordeaux like putting three meat grinders, Sforza is obviously a technical back, although Winter is biased towards engineers, but his skills are relatively comprehensive, unlike Bordeaux, who are obviously outstanding in defense, and rely on teammates to help in other aspects. But the attack of the two men was like a layer of cellophane in front of the three meat grinders, and the accuracy of Sforza's passing while being made of physical contact was greatly reduced, resulting in the two strikers Zamorano and Guntz basically unable to get the ball, and even if they occasionally retreated to the outside of the box to get the ball, there were defenders following them.

After 15 minutes, Hodgson was already impatient to command loudly on the sidelines, whether the players heard it or not, Vincent has not stopped on the sidelines since the 15th minute, feeling that he is more tired than the players, and every time the attack fails, he will make some exaggerated gestures to show his remorse.

"What's the use of this, if it doesn't work, you better go up and play it yourself." Fan Shang thought as he looked at Hodgson, who put his hand to his mouth and shouted at the players in the field.

About 30 minutes into the game, Vincent couldn't sit still, Inter Milan besieged Bordeaux for 15 minutes, although Bordeaux fell into a comprehensive defense, but before it was able to play a few effective counterattacks every time, today in the face of Inter Milan's steel defense, Shevchenko and Wiltord were a little lost, Vincent now found that the Italian club's defense does have a hand, in Ligue 1, basically when the whole line is pressed, their defenders will be scattered, and in the end only one person will be left. And now Inter Milan's four defenders are in a good position even when the team is pressing, and everyone is in the right position, especially the two central defenders Gallant and Bergomi, who are obviously the inheritors of the Italian chain defense, much stronger than the swing bus that Vincent has researched himself.

However, Fan Shang also had to let the team test it, Fan Shang asked the two forwards to pull more to the side, and the two central defenders were more difficult to break through, so try two fullbacks.

So Bordeaux made several long passes to the left and right in a row, trying to make a fuss on the wing, but unfortunately Inter Milan's full-backs were a little vacant when they assisted forward, but they were still these two central defenders, and when the wide players were out of position, they could always appear in time on the way forward for the Bordo players.
