Chapter 026: Two Goals
In the away dressing room, Blanco is making tactical adjustments.
"In the second half, Micudo was in charge of the team's organization, Diarra, you as an assistant, we must strengthen the attack and win this game, otherwise we will be opened up by Lyon, and it will be difficult to win the league title this season." Blanco continued: "Liu, you have more freedom in the front court in the second half, you can run wherever you see an opportunity, you don't have to go back to the back to defend, Bellion, you use your speed to intersperse back and forth, stirring up the opponent's defense, and the two full-backs also see the opportunity to insert assists. ”
Blanco was clearly looking to fight to the death in the second half, allowing veteran Miku to take over the task of organising, and the in-form Diarra was used as an engineer midfielder, and the wing also strengthened the assist, hoping to completely destroy the opposition defence.
At the beginning of the second half, Bordeaux attacked aggressively, allowing Miku to organize the midfield, and the in-form Diarra assisted from the side, and the effect was much better, but the 35-year-old veteran could not let him be in charge of the organization every game, and it was okay to relieve it occasionally.
"Bordeaux was not willing to lose and started a counterattack in the second half, but Strasbourg also played a defensive counterattack, and it seems that Strasbourg is very happy to be able to get a goal ahead of Bordeaux." The French commentator is sorry for Strasbourg, and he also hopes that the two sides will play a match.
A team like Strasbourg, as a promoted horse, even if they are now temporarily ranked 7th in Ligue 1, their posture is still very low, and relegation is their goal, unless they can still be ranked 7th in the second half of the schedule, maybe they will look forward to European competition.
Bordeaux began a continuous attack.
In the 48th minute, Berleon used his speed to burst into the penalty area, but unfortunately the shot was wide.
In the 53rd minute, Liu Ting advanced quickly on the left side and cut inside the goal, and the opposing goalkeeper Cassad bravely saved the shot.
In the 55th minute, Miku went straight to Liu Ting, Liu Ting took the ball to attract the defense and then picked up a pass for Bellion, the opponent headed directly, and most of the empty goal was pushed into the goalkeeper's arms.
Blanco, who was on the sidelines, was also furious, and if he couldn't score for a long time, it would fuel Strasbourg's determination to defend and counterattack, and it would be more and more difficult to play.
"Since the start of the second half, Bordeaux has been attacking for more than 10 minutes, if you can't score again, Bordeaux's momentum will definitely decline, and you can only temporarily recycle and wait for the next wave of attacks. The French commentator in Bordeaux worried.
"Bordeaux's attack came again, Giuletti passed the ball to Diarra's feet, Diarra passed to Miku, Miku went straight to Liu, good ball!! Liu didn't turn around to catch the ball, and knocked the ball directly with his back heel, knocking it to Baileon, who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area!! It's a pity that the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back, and it wasn't over yet, and the Chinese kid appeared near the landing point, goooooal!! Liu calmly pushed into the far corner, and Strasbourg goalkeeper Cassad, who had just made a save and had not yet gotten up, had no choice but to watch the ball roll into the goal. ”
After scoring the goal, Liu Ting ran over to hug and celebrate with Berion, such a heel knock was learned with Ronaldinho when he was in Barcelona, and it was really useful.
In the 60th minute, Liu Ting's supplementary shot helped Bordeaux equalize, 1:1.
"After this goal, Strasbourg will have a bit of a hard time playing next, and I don't know what adjustments their manager will make." The French commentator was still cheering for Bordeaux's goal just now, and immediately worried about Strasbourg again.
In fact, he overestimated Strasbourg's determination, and even if they could only score one point at home, Strasbourg would not be unhappy.
After Bordeaux's goal, Strasbourg's recovery defense became more resolute, and it seemed that they were trying not to let Bordeaux score again.
Strasbourg defended stubbornly, Bordeaux attacked for a while and couldn't find the back of the net, and began to slow down. In this way, the score of 1:1 was deadlocked until 80 minutes, and Blanco on the sidelines began to be anxious, and this game was to be won.
In the face of Strasbourg's goalkeeper bus, Bordeaux did not have a good way for the time being, and Blanco commanded Liu Ting to pass the ball more, hoping that Liu Ting's breakthrough would get a chance.
Liu Ting began to get passes on the left side, he knew that his breakthrough at this time was a way to break the opponent's crowd tactics, at present, Bordeaux in the penalty area has the ability to grab the point of the Cavinaghi injury, the long shot is good Wendel is also not in good shape today, in the face of the goal bus tactics can only rely on Liu Ting.
Liu Ting received Miku's pass again, advanced quickly, and cut in near the penalty area, Strasbourg's defense was very simple, that is, to block the penalty area, Liu Ting easily got the opportunity to cut inside.
As soon as he entered the penalty area, two defenders immediately came to defend Liu Ting, Liu Ting took the ball past one, but the ball was cut off by the subsequent defense.
Sure enough, breaking down dense defense is a problem for teams all over the world.
Liu Ting broke through twice and couldn't enter the opponent's penalty area, and Blanco on the sidelines jumped more and more.
After another 5 minutes, Liu Ting took the ball again, this time to the middle, Liu Ting took the ball and shook Strasbourg's midfielder Pascal Johansen, and immediately two Strasbourg defenders came to press, Liu Ting took the ball to face French defender Manuel Santos, smashed the ball with his right foot from the left, flashed past the opponent, and then pulled the ball back with his left foot, and then buckled over Habubi Brayd, who came up to press, and directly raised his foot to shoot.
"Liu dribbled the ball at the edge of the opponent's penalty area and deducted Santos, oh!! Then he dunked it back again, flashed Brayd, who came up to fill in and press, and shot from distance!! Goooal!!! The ball is in!! A beautiful long-range shot that bounced in front of goal and flew into the back of the net, and Strasbourg goalkeeper Cassad, despite making a save, could only watch the ball fly over his hands and into the goal. ”
"The Chinese kid has been in good form recently, scoring in two consecutive league games, scoring a super goal in the last round with five people in a row, and scoring twice in this one, and finally scoring a long-range shot that deducted two people, which is a killer goal that can help Bordeaux take all three points away from home." The French commentator was cheering for Liu Ting.
Liu Ting ran on the turf excitedly after scoring a goal, this was his first brace, especially when the team was in trouble, it felt so good, it seemed like he could fly with his hands outstretched.
Liu Ting celebrated on the pitch and Blanco on the sidelines also waved in celebration, this goal is really important, it can help Bordeaux bite Lyon and not fall too far behind in the race for the league title.
On the field, Liu Ting and his teammates celebrated that the referee intervened and the celebration was too long and stopped, and now it was the 88th minute of the game, and Bordeaux only needed to hold on to this one-goal advantage.
After the restart, Strasbourg's comeback, and they will be satisfied if they have a game at home, but they will not be satisfied if they can't get a point.
Blanco also began to stall for time with the remaining substitutions, replacing Argentine midfielder Alejandro Alonso with defender Diawara, who slowed down like a snail in exchange for boos from Strasbourg fans, and Diawara immediately transformed into Alonso's snail brother.
In the end, Bordeaux defeated Strasbourg 2-1 away thanks to Liu Ting's brace, although the process was difficult, but fortunately the three points were in hand.
※※※
After the game, the whole Bordeaux team will soon fly back to Bordeaux, 5 days later is the first round of the Europa League group stage Bordeaux home against the Turkish team Galatasaray game, Blanco has to take everyone back to recover the state, especially Diarra, the midfield organization can not always be pressed on Miku, he is too old, and the state is also unstable, this game is just in good shape, the next game does not know how the state is?
After the end of this round of Ligue 1, Liu Ting's stunner against Strasbourg once again became the best goal in this round of Ligue 1, winning the best goal in two consecutive rounds, although it is not too much honor, but it also makes Liu Ting's fame more and more famous.
Back at Bordeaux, the whole squad is preparing for the Europa League. Bordeaux's luck is good, and the same group of Turkish team Galatasaray match did not draw to the away game, Galatasaray's home Ali Samyan Stadium is definitely the famous devil's home stadium in Europe, known as 'hell', for the away team is indeed a hell away, the home fans will use torches, smoke, drums, flags and giant posters to fill the stadium, the away players on the field will be terrified, the red lights and the smoke all over the stadium, it really looks like hell.
In this devil's home field, Galatasaray has beaten Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and other top giants, the most famous is the 99/00 Champions League in the Champions League to beat AC Milan, when the Champions League group stage was only the last round, AC Milan accumulated 6 points and the third in the group, the second in the group is the German team Hertha Berlin with 8 points, the last round Hertha Berlin is going to challenge the group leader Chelsea away, is likely to lose, AC Milan only needs to beat Galatasaray at the bottom of the group with 4 points away to be able to overtake Hertha Berlin to qualify from the group, but in Turkey's devil's home stadium, AC Milan was affected by Galatasaray fans beating gongs and drums outside the hotel all night long, and the next day AC Milan, who were not in good spirits, performed badly in the red lights and smoke of the hell stadium, although they were much stronger, they still lost to Galatasaray 2:3, making Hertha Berlin lose to Chelsea and qualify from the group. Galatasaray, on the other hand, took advantage of this to overtake AC Milan to participate in the UEFA Cup.
