Chapter 87: The European Champions Cup

Fan Shang was walking in Clairefontaine with his luggage, and after a while, he saw Jacques who came out to greet him, so Vincent took a few steps and rushed to Jacques. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fan Shang, you're finally here." Jacques was the first to say

"I'm sorry, Aimee, my club's affairs are too urgent, and I have been delayed for a few days. But now I'm going to dedicate myself to my work here. What do you need me for? Fan Shang apologized first, and then patted his chest to pack the ticket.

"Okay, Fan Shang, let's rest for the night, and tomorrow morning I will meet the players and colleagues." Jacques thought for a moment, "Let's take a look at the final of this year's European Champions Cup tonight." ”

"Oh, I'm so busy I forgot about something so big!" Fan Shang patted his head, he has been turning around for the transfer in the past few days, so this kind of irrelevant thing has long been left behind. "Aimee, why didn't you go to the scene? I remember that Juventus had our captain in the team! ”

'Didier doesn't need to be observed, he's in form and at a consistent level.' Jacques has a lot of faith in Didier Deschamps, "Let's take a good look at the Italian and Dutch players tonight. ”

While talking, the two walked into the dormitory building of the training base. It is not a building, it is a redecoration of some very old villas, the interior is more advanced, and the exterior completely retains the quaint style, which is similar to the office building of Bordeaux, the Château d'Aland.

When Fan Shang arrived, it was already close to night, so Fan Shang found the room again and cleaned up casually and had dinner with Yakai. During this period, Jacques introduced several of Fan Shang's colleagues, among which the most famous was Roger, who would succeed Jacques in the future and bring the European Cup championship to France. Roger Lemerre. However, this brother is a temporary worker like Vincent, and is the coach of Lens himself, and joined his coaching staff at the invitation of Jacques.

After dinner, a group of several people came to the conference room to watch the final of the European Champions Cup against Juventus of Italy and Ajax of the Netherlands, and the match was played at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy.

"Fan Shang, do you think that team will win today?" Jacques asked Fan Shang, who was sitting at the end.

Fan Shang pouted slightly, he felt that he was the least senior coach in the national team, and it was better to keep a low profile, but Yakai liked to look for him for everything. "I think the defending champions Ajax are stronger, but Juventus have been very consistent this year, so the chances of both teams winning each match are 50 per cent." Fan Shang said this, which means that he did not say it.

Because Fan Shang was not old in the previous life in 1996, he did not have a deep memory of the Champions League, and he felt as if Juventus had won the Champions League this year, but he was not sure. However, judging from the importance of the two teams before the game, Juventus should have a better chance of winning, and Vincent is doing business with both sides at the same time, and it is clear where they are focusing on it when they look at the attitude of the two teams. Juventus is just sending a signal about the transfer, and the rest of the energy is focused on preparing for this final, while Ajax seems to be preparing for the big sale after the season, contacting the players everywhere and dividing too much energy.

After Fan Shang finished speaking, he lowered his head and sat in his seat like an old monk, not watching TV, just listening, waiting for the start of this game. Yakai looked at Fan Shang for a while, then shook his head with a smile, and some of the other people watched TV as if they didn't care about their own business, and some of them discussed something in a whisper, the most annoying thing was the fat man, he first snorted twice after listening to Fan Shang's answer, and then looked at Fan Shang with disdain, and continued to watch the game with disdain.

Although Fan Shang lowered his head, he saw the actions of these people in his eyes, "Le Fatty, I originally wanted to be close to you, but now, hum, you don't want me to get this chance to fall into the well." ”

With Fan Shang stitching the fat man in his heart, the final game is about to start.

Juventus' starting line-up is: goalkeeper Peruzzi, backline, Ferrara, Pesotho, Torricelli, Verjovod, midfielder, Didier Deschamps, Paulo Sousa, Conte, Vialli, forwards, Piero and Ravanelli

Ajax's starting line-up is: goalkeeper Van der Sar, backline, Blind, Frank de Ball, Sloy, Bogard, midfielder, Davies, Ronald de Ball, Limatenen, forwards, Musampa, Fiindi George, Kanu.

After watching the game, the two teams were just like Vincent had imagined before the game, and Juventus completely pressed Ajax. Juventus' attack finally got back in the 12th minute.

Frank de Boer's mistake on the header back to the goalkeeper saw the ball go high and was met by Lavanelli, who had passed from behind, and then pushed the ball into the empty net from an almost 0-degree angle. Juventus took the lead.

However, the goal also woke up the Ajax players, and the defending champions began to play Juventus in midfield and slowly regained the initiative, but the score did not change until the end of the first half.

"Fan Shang, do you have anything to say about the first half?" Jacques asked Vincent at halftime.

Fan Shang now finally understood what Jacques meant, and he wanted to show something for the other coaches to approve of him. "I think Ajax was too relaxed in this game, and they performed well in the second half, but it takes time to relax and get nervous, so I think Ajax should pull a goal back in the second half, but there is a good chance that this game will go to extra time, even if it goes to the final penalty shoot-out."

"Very well, Fan Shang, let's see your prediction." Jacques nodded in satisfaction.

The rest of the people, except for Le Fat, all looked at Fan Shang kindly. And the fat man still looked at him with disdain, but his brows were a little furrowed, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.

In the second half, the two teams exchanged attacks and defences, but Ajax had significantly more shots on goal than Juventus.

In the 54th minute, Ajax opened the scoring, and the Finnish skate Limatenin intercepted the ball from Peruzzi's double fist, and decisively shot from inside the box to equalize the score.

At this time, the few people in the conference room, except for Le Fat, the rest of the people smiled at Fan Shang. Fan Shang was a little complacent at this time, this was the result of studying football in the past six months, not the golden finger of crossing.

The two teams played back and forth after that, creating a few chances, but until the end of the 90 minutes, they could not change the score again.

The score of 1:1 in 90 minutes allowed the two teams to enter extra time. The game of extra time was the same as the last few dozen minutes, and the two sides went back and forth, but in the end they all fell short. The first and second halves of extra time lasted for a total of 30 minutes, the two teams exchanged blanks, and the two teams drew 1:1 in the 120-minute game, and the two teams were about to have a brutal penalty shootout.

"Fan Shang, what do you think?" Jacquet asked again

"Penalty shoot-outs are always five-to-five, but Ajax can be a little more impetuous, so I think Juventus have a better chance of winning."

The penalty shoot-out soon began, with the first penalty being taken by Boar Davis. Fan Shang frowned, thinking, "How could it be Davis?" Isn't this guy a midfield butcher? Could it be that this boar will take a penalty? "Fan Shang is now full of question marks.

Davis doesn't have that pair of glasses or pigtails tied in a ponytail, and he now looks a little like his predecessors, Rijkaard and Gurlit. Davies started to shoot, but he shot the ball down the middle and Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi pounced to keep it out.

Juventus' first penalty player, Ferrara, easily smashed the ball into the right side of the Van der Sar goal.

Ajax's second penalty was scored by the Finnish skate Limat Tyrnine who equalised today, and Limatenin managed to trick Peruzzi into the back of the net with a small pause at the start.

Juventus' Pexoto and Padovano then and Ajax's Scholten each scored penalties.

However, Sloy, who was Ajax's fourth, had a shot saved by Peruzzi. The score had become 3-2 before Juventus' fourth player came on the pitch, and if Juventus' fourth player could score the ball in the game, Juventus would have won this year's European Cup.

PS: Originally, Ajax equalized in the 41st minute, but for the sake of the plot, the goal time was delayed
