"We won't" This time the players shouted in unison, and Tagang began to composure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Can I trust you?" Fan Shang asked
"Yes", "No problem", "Of course" answered in a variety of ways, but the voice has calmed down and returned to its previous appearance.
"Very well, so can you go on the field and prove your mettle? Do you know how to prove that you are not a coward? Fan Shang continued to ask, and the players all stared at Fan Shang with blazing eyes, "Go on the field, knock out the Milanese, and shut up their fans!" ”
All the players didn't speak, just gritted their teeth and nodded.
'You don't have to be nervous when you come on the pitch, like in Ligue 1, it's just a normal game and it's only the first half. Fan Shangji will have to decompress the players later.
After talking about some more tactics, the players were ready to play. At the door, Fan Shang grabbed Dogan, "Jean, you are the captain of Bordeaux, how well you perform will directly affect the team, I trust you, you don't want to be intimidated by the name of AC Milan and their fans." You just have to play at your usual level and don't think too much. "For Duogang Fan Shang is still not at ease, Duogang warmed up today with a lot of mistakes that made Fan Shang feel palpitations, Fan Shang wanted to change the captain, but the morale of the team was too big before the competition, and Fan Shang did not dare to start. He can only say a few more words to Tagang now, hoping that he will not go out of his way on the field.
Today, Vincent still wants to focus on defense, so the lineup is still 451, goalkeeper Yuar, defenders from left to right, Lizarazu, Dogan, Hansen and Toyes, two backs are Dudière and Lucas, left and right are Witzger and Casttan, forward Zidane, and forward is Dugarry. The five people on the bench were, Distin, Cousi, Taurlot, Gernay and substitute goalkeeper Fontaine.
Today's Milan starting line-up is almost all well-known figures in world football. Goalkeeper Ilpo, defenders from left to right, Milan flag Maldini, Costa Curta, captains Baresi and Panucci, the two midfielders are Frenchman, Vieira and Desailly, they are in front of Heraño, Baggio and Savicevic, and the forward is Simeone. On the bench were: Rossi, Donadoni, Tasottti, Ambrosini and Di Canio.
Milan are now a spring breeze in the league, having lost just one of their previous matches and are firmly in top of Serie A.
Facing AC Milan, the boss of Serie A in the small World Cup, Bordeaux honestly retreated to his own half after the opening. Fan Shang just doesn't want to concede the ball, and if he loses the ball, it will be one less to lose.
Capello is good at defence, and today he needs to break down the dense defense, obviously he is not ready, and the attack-oriented AC Milan also sent two midfielders today, which obviously does not match the overall rhythm of the game. Although Capello couldn't attack, the players on the field did, and when they saw Bordeaux shrink their defense, they pounced on Bordeaux's defense like a tiger seeing a white rabbit.
In the 6th minute, Baggio received a pass from Savic and shot the goal, but the ball went slightly high.
In the 10th minute, Baggio cleverly distributed the ball to Simeone, who was inserted into the box, and the former Basten substitute showed his good shooting skills, dodging a defender and shooting, and Yuar, who had already surrendered his gun, sent the ball to the outside of the goal frame and bounced off the bottom line.
In the 15th minute, Savicevic dropped back to get the ball and distributed it to Maldini, who cut in on the left, and Maldini ran all the way to cross before Toyes tackled. Jual hit the ball before Baggio, but Jual hit the ball in the wrong place, and the ball bounced off the ground and flew high. Milan striker Simeone in the box looked at the ball and made a volley, only to hit his outside instep and go high towards the goal. Thankfully, Al reacted quickly after hitting the ball, and when he was about to fall into the back of the net, he jumped up and grabbed the crossbar with one hand and flicked the ball off the line with the other.
In the 25th minute, Bordeaux organized a counterattack, Lucas played the ball to Zidane in the midfield, Zidane took the ball and turned around to find that the right midfielder Castetan had stepped forward, and Zidane did not hesitate to send a through stopper. The ball was cleverly cut between Maldini and Costacuta, and after Castetan comfortably got his hands on the ball, he shot into the top left corner of the Milan penalty area, which was just right and was pressed under goalkeeper Ilpo.
In the 30th minute, Simeone and Savčevic switched positions, Simeone retreated to the outside of the box, received the ball and passed it to Savicevic in the box. Savicevic took the ball with his back to Hansen in the penalty area, then poked the ball back to Elaño, who stepped forward to pick it up. Elaño calmly unguarded and the ball hit the bottom right corner of the net, leaving Juar to sigh.
1-0 Milan took the lead at home and there were huge cheers from the stands.
After Fan Shang saw the goal, he kept patting his forehead. He could see that the goal conceded was ultimately caused by Dogan's misposition. At that time, Dogan ran out of the penalty area with Simeone, leaving Hansen alone in the box, although there was also a reason for the delay of right wing-back Toyes to return to the defense, but the main responsibility was still on Dogan. "This Tagang's ability to resist pressure is too poor. It's been thirty minutes and I haven't recovered yet. Fan Shang thought to himself.
Bordeaux served in the middle circle, the game continued, AC Milan was still on the offensive, and Bordeaux was exhausted. Savicevic, who tasted the sweetness of making the ball with his back, returned the ball in the penalty area twice in a row, but unfortunately the Milan attacking players did not shoot well and all flew out of the bottom line.
Seeing this situation, Fan Shang quickly signaled Toyes to move in to help defend the Milan attacking players who were following up, which broke Savagevic's thoughts.
But the problem of Toyes's recovery came again, in the 40th minute, Elaño took the ball on the left side, Toyes, who retreated too deeply, did not follow, Elaño calmly crossed, Simeone grabbed the point when unguarded at the back post, but unfortunately did not touch the ball.
In the 43rd minute, it was Erano again, and he cut inside with more and more feelings, and shot after passing Toyes, but the ball was blocked by Yual with his legs.
"Duh... Honk... ............."The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and Bordeaux could finally breathe a sigh of relief in the storm.
Vincent didn't continue to motivate the players in the lounge, he kept telling the players to relax, don't be nervous. For the second half of the game, Fan Shang only said two words: "foul", and the rest depends on the players themselves. Before the second half, Fan Shang pulled Tagang to comfort him for a while, hoping that Tagang would not be too reckless in grabbing.
In the second half, Bordeaux continued to play the road, and the players were still defensive, but some new elements were added to the defense, such as fouls, small actions, etc.
Fan Shang knew that Baggio was brittle and covered in injuries, and Baggio was the one who was most taken care of. Although Vincent respects Baggio very much, respect is meaningless in the game, only winning is the right thing.
The second half was shattered by a steady stream of fouls, and by the 70th minute of the game, four players had already received yellow cards for Bordeaux. However, the effect of the foul was evident, and AC Milan's dangerous shots were noticeably reduced in the second half. Only in the 68th minute was a direct free kick from Baggio that was dangerous, but the ball was too slow to be caught by Yual.
In the 75th minute, Dogan was taken out of the box by Simeone, and then the two collided in a daze, and the referee's whistle blew and gave AC Milan a free-kick close to the goal.
