After a short silence, some smart players have already reflected, "We don't have an unbeaten record. "www.biquge.info The first one to say is Papan, and Fan Shang likes the quality of veterans when to say something.

"Yes, it's the people on the other side who ruined our efforts for a season, and we didn't have a chance to get revenge this season. But we didn't expect God to give us another chance. What will you do? ”

"Revenge!"

"Very well, I don't need you to fight with them, remember one thing, don't give them any chance, I'm talking about anything!"

"Understood!" The sound was very loud, and it seemed that the fighting spirit had been almost ignited.

"Get on the field!" Fan Shang gave the order, and the players walked out of the locker room one by one, waiting for the game to start. Fan Shang was still standing at the door, high-fived every player, "Don't give them a chance!" ”

"Hello everyone and welcome to the final of the 1996-1997 French League Cup, now we are at the Parc des Princes in Paris, a match narrated by Charbido and Mr. Platini." C***** of course they were going to broadcast such an important match, and they still sent a combination of Charbido and Platini.

"Hello everyone" Platini never said much.

"I just got the plan for the next week, it's so interesting," said Charbido with a smile, "and we're going to be in this position for three games in a row, and the most incredible thing is that all three games are Bordeaux games!" ”

"Hehe, I've seen it too, we can finally settle in one place for a while." Platini responded.

"Well, yes, okay, the players of both sides have come out of his players' tunnel, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today." "Strasbourg lined up a 532 formation today, with Slovak Physel as the goalkeeper, five defenders from left to right: Raschke, Ismail, Dogan, Sukhoparek and Okpara, three midfielders Mazriche, Baticle and Cowle, and two forwards Norma and Starley. ”

"Bordeaux is still in its traditional 442 formation today, with goalkeeper Chilavert, four defenders, Lizarazu, Song, Gamara and Sagnol, midfielders Pire, Dacourt, Makelele and Nedved, and striker Vincent today with veterans Papin and Shevchenko."

After listening to the starting line-ups of the two teams, Platini began to comment, "Judging from the starting line-ups of both teams, this game should be very dull, one sends five defenders, and the other is a defensive counterattack no matter what formation, unless one side makes a mistake first, otherwise the two teams will break through the opponent's goal and wait for a penalty shootout." ”

'I feel the same way, both teams were clearly counter-attacking today, and Strasbourg in particular didn't expect them to use such an orthodox back five. I hope this game is not like the previous UEFA Cup match between Bordeaux and Schalke 04. Charbido prayed.

"Yes" Platini also sighed, it seemed that the game made him tired, "We now look at the Bordeaux lineup, throughout this season, it has been relatively stable in other positions, the only one is the right-back position, I have calculated, Vincent has used five or six starters." ”

"Huh?" Charbido began to look for the information in his hand, "Indeed, it seems that Vincent is a little dissatisfied with the candidate for this position, the young player Sagnol who played today was dug by Vincent from Saint-Etienne in the winter, and it is said that it didn't cost much, but daring to use him in the League Cup final today also shows the strength of this youngster." ”

"Now it's kick-off, first of all, Strasbourg, they pass back to the back, Michel drove the same as you predicted, and this game is about seeing who has the more solid defense."

As the two said, neither of the two teams went to attack today, and after getting the ball, they were now running in their midfield and backfield, and then saw the opportunity to quickly make a long pass and go to find their striker.

Don't look at both teams on the counter-attack, but the forwards of both teams are ranked first in Ligue 1's scorers' charts, Papin is now second in the scorers list behind Givash, with a gap of only two goals, and Strasbourg's Stally is also tied for fourth place in Ligue 1's scorers' list, with a three-goal difference between him and Papan. Bordeaux's other two strikers, Andriy Shevchenko and Wiltord, were not on the scorer list because they were fouled in the box and the other were suspended in the middle, but both of them were close to double-digit goals. Therefore, the attacking power of the two teams cannot be negated because of their defensive counter-attacking tactics.

In the 8th minute, Bordeaux launched a counterattack from the left wing, after Pire passed the midfield smoothly, he was blocked at Nigerian fullback Okpara, the Nigerian international is following Pire, not shaking at all, just following Pire, although Pire still dribbled forward, but the afterglow of his eyes swept to the forward Lizarazu, and decisively sent the ball forward. Lizarazu was faced with Ismael, whose huge body almost enveloped him, but the slow turn became his lifeline, and Lizarazu successfully humiliated him with a crotch-piercing pass. It's just that when he shot into the penalty area, he was blocked by his former teammate Tagang.

Duogang is a very good central defender, with height, body, and good awareness, Fan Shang actually didn't want to let him go last year, but thinking of his 32-year-old age, he still can't bear to cut his love. Vincent realised that the veteran's defence today would cause huge problems for Bordeaux.

Both teams have come and gone, and although they have had their chances, most of them end up here in the back line, and only occasionally let the goalkeeper move.

Bordeaux's most dangerous shot of the first half came in the 35th minute, when Shevchenko was knocked down from the side by Barticle when he picked up the ball outside the box, and Chilavert stepped forward to take a free-kick that was fast and spinning, but just when the whole stadium thought it was going to score, the ball smashed into the intersection of the post and the crossbar.

After missing this opportunity, Strasbourg was not willing to be lonely, in the 43rd minute, won a corner, it was Dogan, jumped high in the crowd to head the goal, Chilavert rubbed the ball with his fingertips, and then heard a "dang", the ball hit the crossbar hard, bounced back into the field and was broken by Sagnol's big foot standing next to the post.
