Chapter 016: Zidane II
After the game resumed, Blanco quickly replaced striker Baileon with defender Mejri and reverted to a back four to ensure defence.
Gomez also replaced Menes, who had just become Liu Ting's outstanding background, with the Brazilian attacking midfielder, and obviously wanted to fight for it in the next time.
In the end, Bordeaux did not give Gomez a chance, although the substitute Nene scored a goal in the 86th minute, but time was running out, and in the end Bordeaux won 2-1 at home to Monaco.
After the game, Liu Ting once again became the best in the game, and was taken by Blanco to participate in the post-match press conference. Liu Ting is the best player in this game, and it is the first time for a newcomer to participate in the press conference, so he is naturally the focus of reporters.
"Liu, is it any different to score in your first official match and at the same time score against Monaco?"
"I just think it's a normal league."
"Is there anything special about running to the dugout to celebrate after you score?"
"No, I was so happy that I didn't notice where it was celebrating."
……
Blanco on the side watched Liu Ting calmly deal with the reporter, and nodded involuntarily, this kid has a big heart, and he was not nervous at the first press conference.
However, Gomez was not very friendly, and his face was black throughout the whole press conference, as if he owed tens of millions of people and was going to be pulled to sell his ass.
On the same day, the news newspaper reported this Ligue 1 highlight, and Liu Ting officially appeared in the eyes of French fans.
"China Zidane shines at the Shabon Del Mar Stadium", "Bordeaux refound its Zidane" and other names of the reports emerge in endlessly, Liu Ting read these reports, the media just like to create focus to get attention, now Liu Ting's fame can be connected with Zidane, speaking of which he took advantage, when Ronaldo was just famous, others said that he was the second Figo, and Messi also became famous with the nickname of Maradona's successor, but after the real big achievement, he naturally became the Ronaldo generation, Messi I.
There are also media reports under the name of "This is my spot", and Liu Ting's words to Gomez after the game were quickly dug up, but such reports focus on the love-hate relationship between Liu Ting, Gomez and Monaco.

After the 7th round of Ligue 1, it will be half a month of national team breaks. Liu Ting did not participate in any national team, in fact, many players in the Bordeaux team, especially players from football powerhouses such as Brazil, Argentina and France, are not national team players, or they are only marginal players of the national team, and it is rare to be called once.
At the end of the 7th round of Ligue 1, Bordeaux temporarily ranked fourth in the standings with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
At the same time as the end of this round of Ligue 1, the draw for the UEFA Super Cup and the Champions League group stage and the third round of the Europa League qualification round was held in Monaco. Champions League winners AC Milan beat Europa League winners Sevilla 3-1 in the UEFA Super Cup at the Stade Louis II, with Kaka scoring a goal to add to his bid for World Footballer of the Year.
Bordeaux finished sixth in Ligue 1 last season and did not qualify for the Champions League, but won the French League Cup to qualify for the Europa League. Bordeaux don't have to pay much attention to the Champions League group stage draw, but Ligue 1 giants Lyon have been drawn into the group of death, along with La Liga giants Barcelona, Bundesliga champions Stuttgart and Soviet Super League champions Rangers, which may make Lyon spend too much energy to qualify for the Champions League group stage.
In the draw for the third round of the Europa League qualifiers, Bordeaux only needs to avoid the two 'deignt' G14 giants Bayern Munich and Ajax who came to play the Europa League, Bayern took a nap last season and failed to get the top three positions in the Bundesliga, and now can only play in the Europa League, Ajax lost to the Czech team Slavia Prague in the Champions League qualifying round and fell, Bayern has already booked the position of the first favorite to win the Europa League this year, and Ajax is also optimistic about making a difference in the Europa League.
Of course, the premise is that no big club in the Champions League group stage only finished third in the group and fell out to the knockout stage of the Europa League.
Bordeaux were not unlucky in the end, not bumping into the terrifying Bayern Munich and not meeting the strong Ajax, Bordeaux faced Tampere United from Finland in the third qualifying round, and there was little problem in reaching the group stage of the Europa League. Portuguese side Bellerense collided with Europa League giants Bayern Munich, while Ajax faced Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.
The day after the Europa League draw, Bordeaux had a holiday for the whole team, and a few such as Diarra went to the national team to play, and the others were free to move. Liu Ting received a call from John Miku and invited him to participate in the team's activities, which was actually a group of Bordeaux teams to go out to eat, drink, and go to nightclubs.
Liu Ting was still very happy to receive this call, he didn't have any special hobbies for going to nightclubs, but this call showed that he had been accepted by the team, and his teammates recognized his strength in both games.
In the nightclub of Bordeaux, Liu Ting and Miku sat together and talked. Although Miku is not the absolute main force of the team, he is the boss of the Bordeaux dressing room and is very authoritative in the dressing room.
Miku has had a nickname throughout his career - Zinedine Zidane II, and like Zidane, he started his career at Cannes before moving to Bordeaux to make a name for himself. After Zidane transferred from Bordeaux to Juventus, Bordeaux soon introduced Miku to fill the vacancy of Zidane's departure, and Miku also completed his task very well, and since then he has been nicknamed Zidane II, and even helped Bordeaux win a French championship when he played in Bordeaux, which Zidane did not do when he was there, but he still couldn't shake off the shadow of Zidane II.
When he played for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, Miku was also the core of the team's midfield organization, helping Bremen beat Bayern to win the Bundesliga championship, and also won the German Cup that year and became a double in one fell swoop, ensuring that Bremen qualified for the Champions League every year.
But Miku has always lived in the shadow of Zidane, and even in the position of organization on the field, he likes to organize the team's attack on the left side of the midfield like Zidane. So Miku has always been Zidane's substitute in the French national team, and if there is no Zidane, Miku will definitely be able to become the core of the midfield of the French national team, but there is no if, which is quite a bit of 'both Mi (Ku) and He Shengqi (Dane)'.
Most of those who know Miku think that Miku is the kind of organizer who is underestimated. In the Euro 04 Super Dark Horse Greece defeated France, Greece's Charlistias's Charlistias, with a header to send Zinedine Zidane's French team home, when Charlisteas lifted his shirt to celebrate, and his vest was printed with Miku's name. Charlie Steas was Miku's team-mate at Werder Bremen, and he was fighting for Miku in this way, and in his opinion, Miku's organizational skills were no worse than Zidane's, but he became famous two years later than Zidane.
Now 35 years old, Miku is almost unable to kick the ball, and he cannot guarantee the main position in the Bordeaux team.
Talking to Miku, Liu Ting sighed that he didn't want to be a tragedy like Miku in the future.
Looking at Bordeaux's teammates, Liu Ting sighed that in fact, this Bordeaux team is still very strong.
There are veterans like Miku and former talents like Cavinaghi who failed to live up to expectations, and Cavinaghi was the most promising successor to Batistuta after he became famous at the World Youth Championships that year. There is also Diarra in the team who also joined Bayern as Vieira's successor, but unfortunately it also failed to meet expectations, the team Bailean once played for Manchester United, Chamak will join Arsenal in the future, and Obertan will also join Manchester United in the future.
When you count it down, this Bordeaux team does have a lot of good players.

When Liu Ting was playing in a French nightclub, an incident happened about him in China.
The cat pounce forum, which was only established at the beginning of this year, took advantage of the fact that the Chinese national team lost the group stage of the Asian Cup this year, and a lot of people scolded the Chinese team, the Football Association, and the pig coach on the Internet.
At noon today, a post titled "Chinese Zidane Stunning French Ligue 1" appeared on the cat flutter forum, and there was a video in the article.
This article is about Liu Ting, and there are also some good performances of Liu Ting in the team training and video clips of two games in Ligue 1. Soon, this post went viral, because there was really a teenager with a Chinese face in the video, with good foot skills, fast speed, and the use of Marseille roundabouts.
"It's not Chinese, is it? I never heard of a domestic player playing in Ligue 1 now. ”
"I think I'm Chinese."
"Banana people who can't even speak Chinese, what kind of Chinese are they?"
"What does it have to do with whether or not you can speak Chinese?"
"Isn't the one he used when he was training to be Emperor Li Yi's Bengbu roundabout? Could it be that he is a disciple of Emperor Li Yi? ”
……
Soon there was a discussion on the Internet, discussing where Liu Ting's nationality is, how old he is, and whatever. This post only has a video and a simple statement about a Chinese playing in Ligue 1, and other information is not at all, and it is all up to everyone to make up their own brains.
The Internet in China is a magical place. What Li Yi the Great protects the ball like Henry, and the two Marseille slaloms turned into Bengbu roundabouts, etc., are all made up by netizens themselves, of course, more for irony.
