In the post-match press conference, Vincent was a bit of a surprise because for the first time he heard the opposition's manager admit that Bordeaux was indeed strong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"We were convinced that we lost these two legs, Bordeaux are really much stronger than us, and hopefully they can do well in the final." Heynckes left the press conference after answering the first question and then saying that.

Vincent has once again entered the time of the one-man show, and many of the managers who fell at the feet of Bordeaux this season have chosen to leave the press conference early, and Vincent does not know that Heynckes is the first, and it will not be the last anyway. Bordeaux's tactic of relying on one or two counter-attacks to break the opponent's goal and then defend it really makes many teams think that it is simply their own bad luck.

At the time of the press conference, Vincent also got the news of his opponent in the final, Inter Milan eliminated Monaco with an aggregate score of 3:2 over two legs and will meet Bordeaux in the final.

"First of all, it's a pity that we couldn't achieve the French derby in the final, for the quality of Inter Milan, I think there is no doubt about it, the final will be extremely difficult, after deciding the order of home and away, we will develop tactics in a targeted manner." Fan Shang's answer to a reporter's question about the final.

"Mr. Vincent, there are still five games left in the league, but your team still has four cup finals to play, will you give up the league to guarantee the cup?"

"If you sat in my place, what would you choose?" Fan Shang did not answer directly, leaving only this rhetorical question.

However, Fan Shang despised this reporter in his heart, "Do you still need to ask?" I've won the league championships, so why do I have to work hard, just train the young players. ”

Sure enough, in the following two consecutive rounds of the league, Bordeaux chose a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, and even in one of the games, goalkeeper Vincent sent Fontaine, who had not played much for almost a year. Both games ended in draws, one with Cannes 1-1 away and the other at home to Le Maire's Lens 0-0.

After Lemaire went to Lens, it took five months to finally get Lens out of the relegation circle. Vincent actually wanted to let Le Maire go in this game, but Lens's attack was a goal that was not scored when Bordeaux deliberately released water.

When Lemaire and Vincent hugged after the game, Lemaire said thank you, but Vincent said, "If you still do it next season, buy some people." ”

On the last day of April, after two league games, Bordeaux hosted its first cup final, the Carabao Cup final against Strasbourg, at the Parc des Princes Stadium, home of Paris Saint-Germain.

The most interesting thing is that Bordeaux has to play three consecutive matches at the Parc des Princes, in addition to the League Cup final against Strasbourg, the round of 36 against Paris Saint-Germain on May 4 and the French Cup final against Guingamp on May 10.

So Bordeaux set off on the 28th and had to stay in Paris for almost two weeks, except for the league, the remaining two games were all desperate. Before setting off, Fan Shang also asked the two fan leaders how they prepared for the three games, especially the two cup finals.

The Parc des Princes in Paris can probably accommodate less than 50,000 people, and the tickets for Bordeaux fans in this cup match are not much, thousands, so they have divided into two groups, one to cheer for the League Cup final, and the other to cheer for the French Cup final, and the league is only a few of their leaders to stand on the field, anyway, the league championship is already in hand.

Vincent agrees with their arrangement, but still hopes that they can go to more people in the final, after all, the 12th man in Bordeaux is still very strong in momentum. The two leaders assured that no matter how many people go, the momentum of the Bordeaux fans is absolutely guaranteed.

The Bordeaux team stayed in a castle-like hotel just a 15-minute drive from the Parc des Princes, and for the next half a month, it was Bordeaux's stronghold.

With Strasbourg, this is definitely the biggest stain on Bordeaux this year, and the only defeat in the league now is due to them. Although Bordeaux did not use a pure main lineup at that time, the loss to Strasbourg was not something that Fan Shang could tolerate, although he was very indifferent when facing the media before, but who knows what he thought in his heart?

Of course, Strasbourg Vincent is already familiar with it, and Bordeaux really didn't take advantage of the two meetings this season, and Vincent is now discussing with the coaching staff at the hotel to see if there is a more effective way to deal with Strasbourg.

"It's a well-balanced team with no major weaknesses and certainly no outstanding features," Rohr said.

"Well, if we have to choose, of course we like to deal with opponents who are strong in attack and weak in defense, but we also have a way to defend strong and weak in attack. It is this kind of advantages and disadvantages that are not obvious, and the strength is not much different from ours, in fact, it is the most headache. Fan Shang patted his head and said.

Battistone sighed, "It's like, if it's just going to defend with all your strength and keep it for 120 minutes, then I think we'll be fine." If you want to end it in 90 minutes, I can't really think of anything other than set-pieces. ”

After Fan Shang frowned and listened, he raised his eyebrows and had an idea. "Yes, Patrick is right, let's follow this line of thought, anyway, we can give up the league at the weekend, fitness shouldn't be a problem."

"Fan Shang, you mean to drag it out until the penalty shootout." Rohr asked Vincent

"There's no way, if you can't rely on set-pieces, or luck to break Strasbourg's goal, then you can only drag it out to the penalty shootout, after all, we still have a high penalty hit rate." Fan Shang nodded in affirmation.

The Carabao Cup final had a mediocre attendance, with a stadium that could accommodate 50,000 people, that is, less than 35,000 people. Most of them were supporters from two teams of people who had come from out of town. Fan Shang clearly saw that a large area opposite the rostrum had been completely filled with Bordeaux blue, and the huge jersey they had brought with the word "victory" was shaking.

Fan Shang nodded with satisfaction, the organization and leadership skills of the two fan leaders are still very good, and these fans today are definitely much more than they said before.

In the pre-match locker room, it was probably the most Vincent had said in recent games. "I repeat, this game is important, very important. One is because of the ownership of the League Cup and our prize money," I heard that the players under the prize money all smiled, they are all professional players, and no one will have trouble with money, "Of course, I want to focus on the second point, I want to ask, this season you have no regrets? ”
