Baggio and Savicevic stood in front of the ball, and after hearing the referee's whistle, Baggio took two steps and then fired a beautiful curling ball that Jual did not touch despite spreading his body to the maximum. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info ball glides into the net from the top right corner of the goal.

2:0 AC Milan leads Bordeaux at home.

Fan Shang sat motionless on the bench, he was already scolding him by the media tomorrow in his mind, conservative, unenterprising, butcher-like tactics, and scrapped the XXX players...... Fan Shang shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind. He stood up and ordered a few substitutes to hurry up and warm up.

In the 81st minute, Vincent made three substitutions in a row, Distin, Gernay and Kausi, replacing Dugarry, Witzger and Lucas.

Vincent has changed the lineup to 550, and Zidane is already at the top of Bordeaux. There are three midfielders and central defenders, and Fan Shang is really afraid of losing one now. Two balls are easy to chase, but it's not the same psychologically if you're three behind.

Bordeaux survived the last 10 minutes, and although Coussy and Gernay applied for two more yellow cards, Vincent was relieved not to score.

Fan Shang had very few words at the post-match press conference, and he basically said one sentence in answering the question, "The responsibility for today's loss lies with me", and the rest of the time he just looked at the mineral water on the table in a daze.

The next day, the French newspaper really criticized Fan Shang, for Bordeaux, the only remaining French team in the League Cup, the media and fans naturally hoped that he could go further, but after losing 2:0 away to AC Milan, Bordeaux's road to promotion seemed to have been blocked, which made the media vent their dissatisfaction on Fan Shang.

"History has shown that Asians, including Asians, cannot do well in football." These were the words of the French right-wing newspaper Figaro when covering yesterday's game.

"Bordeaux paid the price for his conservatism and rudeness", according to the French newspaper Les Teams, who believe that the dense defense and frequent fouls were the main reasons for Bordeaux's defeat.

"Two goals, we still have a chance" is an article in Bordeaux's ** media "Southwest newspaper", which predicts the strategy and tactics of Bordeaux's next game.

After reading the newspapers in his office, Fan Shang leaned back in his chair when the phone on the desk rang.

"Fan Shang, I'm François, are you okay?" It was François's call, "You don't read the newspapers, you have to believe in yourself, you've done well in the first team and without you we would have been relegated now." Don't think too much, just follow your own train of thought. ”

"Thank you, François, I have no problem," Vincent was pleased that François comforted himself at this time, "I only want to play the next round with Milan now, and nothing else will affect me." ”

"That's good, Fan Shang, if there is anything you can find me, then you can continue to work. Good luck," François said in a softened tone.

"Thank you, and good luck," Fan Shang hung up.

Fan Shang glanced at the newspapers again, and under the article in the Southwestern newspaper covering yesterday's game, there was a short interview asking Jacques what he said about Bordeaux's performance. Yakai thinks that Fan Shang has no problem, he has only lost this game since he took office, and he can't understand that such a good result has been criticized by the media.

"That's it, I led the team to play so many games, and I lost so many games in total, and it was the end of the world!" Fan Shang has already scolded these unscrupulous media in his heart. "But Yakai is still quite interesting, I have become a street rat now, and he can still come out to support me, and promise to help him without losing money."

"Really, look at Tigana's stupid X, the first game of the League Cup brought Monaco to the ditch, and then the league results are getting worse and worse, why no one says about him! We are in the top 8 of the League Cup here (although it had nothing to do with Fan Shang before), and the league is getting better and better, so they are all criticizing me. They are all people of color, why is the gap so big! Fan Shang just felt that the media and public opinion were suspected of racial discrimination against him.

However, it is not time for Fan Shang to think too much about it, next week's home game against AC Milan will be a battle of life and death, and he can sit back and relax if he wins, and if he loses, he can only wait for the storm to come.

Before the second leg match with AC Milan, Fan Shang has been in a state of thinking, outsiders sometimes comfort Fan Shang when they look at him, and more often wait and see, they don't know what Fan Shang is thinking. Needless to say, even Fan Shang himself sometimes doesn't know what he's thinking, which may be the nervousness before the competition.

It was in this state that Bordeaux welcomed the opponent of the French Cup, the second division team Caen. It was supposed to be an easy game, but in the end, Bordeaux were knocked out of the French Cup at home by Caen.

During the game, Fan Shang sat in the coach's seat with his head down, and only occasionally raised his eyes to look at the field. Out of the starting lineup, Bordeaux's on-the-spot command and substitutions, including the half-time reprimand, were all completed by Rohr and Battiston. Fan Shang's role in the game was to play soy sauce, and he played the whole game of soy sauce, and the final press conference was also attended by Luo Er.

Bordeaux, who sent substitutes and young players in this game, played okay, but Caen was also tenacious, and the last two teams went into extra time 0:0. In extra time, both teams were still anxious, and in the end neither team broke the deadlock, and the game had to go to penalties. Substitute goalkeeper Fontaine, who was brave in the last penalty shoot-out, did not continue his magic, being penetrated four times in a row, while Bordeaux took two of the four penalties.

In the end, Bordeaux lost 2:4 to Caen, the second division club that came to challenge, after a penalty shootout at home, and was eliminated from the last 8 of the French Cup.

Bordeaux lost two games in a row in less than a week, and the media critics of Vincent jumped out in midweek and shot at Vincent, this time not only Vincent, but also Theo and Afflerrou. The media believes that the two do not know each other, and it is irresponsible for the team to put an Asian in this position, and they should replace Fan Shang as soon as possible. There are also media reports that they saw Theo and Afrau in such and such a place to meet the famous manager who was at home.

Immediately, Teo came out to refute the rumors, saying that Vincent is an excellent coach and that Bordeaux is not ready to change the head coach before the end of the season. Tai Ao said it very hard, and the mouths of the media who originally wanted to hype Fan Shang's dismissal were blocked.

Teo is also angry now, "What a mess of the media, we finally found a reliable head coach, and they didn't lose a single game in the Vincent League, and they pulled Bordeaux into the top ten, where did the media go at that time." Now it's been like this after losing two games, Muslims and Rohr have lost a lot more than that, why don't you have this position! ”
