At 5 p.m. on September 1, Bordeaux's home game against Monaco will begin.

When Liu Ting asked the media about Gomez's words before the game, he said simply: "The eagle sometimes flies lower than the sparrow, but the sparrow can never reach the height of the eagle." ”

"Are you thinking that Monaco is just a sparrow and Bordeaux is the eagle?"

"No, I mean people who think they're great."

Liu Ting's remarks added color to the game, and the match between Bordeaux and Monaco has clearly become the most watched match in this round of Ligue 1, itself a contest between Ligue 1 powerhouses, and different kinds of revenge are mixed in.

In this game, Blanco also gave Liu Ting a chance to perform, maybe it was a reward for his good performance in the last game, in short, Liu Ting's first chance to start came like this.

The French are inherently less enthusiastic about football than the rest of Europe, and Ligue 1, one of the five major leagues, has an overall attendance rating that is not even as good as the Championship, which is the second tier of the English league. However, this one is the highlight of Ligue 1, and the 35,200-seat Chabang Del Mar Stadium is still almost full at Bordeaux's home stadium.

Bordeaux's home stadium is named after former French Prime Minister Chabon Delmar, who was the first to stand up and lead the French people who were unwilling to surrender against German rule after France was defeated and surrendered by Germany in World War II. Later, after the restoration of France, Delmar became the prime minister of France, and also opened the era of the prime minister of France, which had only a president and no prime minister. Del Mar was the mayor of Bordeaux, and Bordeaux named the stadium in his honour after the Stade Chabon-del Mar.

This was Liu Ting's first start, and it was at Bordeaux's home stadium, excited and a little nervous.

When the whole Bordeaux team played, Liu Ting also got a lot of cheers. The main reason is that Liu Ting performed well in the last game, helping the team win a narrow away win and won the hard-won three points, coupled with the media reports about his grievances and hatred with Monaco in the past two days, he is now a little famous.

"The game is about to start, Bordeaux team has changed their forward line today, it is Berion, Chamak and Liu Ting starting, it seems that Blanco's best combination of strikers has not been found, but the good news is that Bordeaux brought in in the middle of last season and entrusted with heavy use Cavinaghi is on the bench today, it seems that his injury has healed." Adrian Baptiste and Cesar Joseph explain the highlight battle.

"I don't know if the Chinese kid will have a good performance in this game, he grew up in Monaco, and it is said that his agent went to the Monaco club to promote him before the start of the season, but was vetoed by Monaco's current manager, Ricardo Gomez. A lot of times footballers are like that, you want to play for a club you love but you don't get accepted by the manager or the management. "The 'old man' Joseph is sighing again.

"Okay, old guy, you didn't play for the Lyon team in your hometown in your career because you didn't have enough strength, you don't have to put gold on your face like this, the Chinese kid is different from you, he has the strength and was rejected by Gomez." Baptiste did not hesitate to taunt Joseph.

Liu Ting's first start in his career was still a little excited.

After the opening, Bordeaux kicked off first, the ball was transmitted to the front, Liu Ting took a step after taking the ball, and shot directly from outside the penalty area, the ball hit the plane without giving face, but fortunately, the fans who arrived gave Liu Ting some applause.

"It seems that our 'rookie' kid is still a little nervous, and I thought his shot was going to hit the sparrow flying in the sky." Baptiste's mouth will take every opportunity on the field to taunt.

Liu Ting himself shook his head and walked back, it seemed that his feet had not been able to adapt to it.

"Hey, boy, you don't have to work so hard in the first start, do you? I think the coach can't help but wait for the second half to replace you. Take it easy, just like you did when you came off the bench last time. "The captain of the team, Diarra, came over to talk to Liu Ting.

Liu Ting was a little excited, but not particularly nervous, and nodded in response to Diarra.

After the game restarted, the two sides began to attack back and forth. Most of the French teams are more attack-oriented, and the game is very enjoyable, but the atmosphere of the French fans is not very good.

In the 21st minute, Liu Ting's right side broke through the cross, and Monaco's defensive mistake allowed Berion to grab the point in a good position, but Baileon's header almost deflected half the field.

Less than 10 minutes later, Monaco were in the back of the colour when their Uruguayan midfielder Diego Pérez fired a long-range shot just over the crossbar.

Immediately afterwards, Bordeaux tested the Monaco goalkeeper in succession, and today Monaco goalkeeper Stephen Rufeld was in good form, saving several threatening shots from Bordeaux in a row. Liu Ting also received a through ball from Diarra in the 32nd minute, and suddenly shot in the penalty area when the opposing defender could not react, but was saved by the brave Rufel.

"The game lived up to everyone's expectations, the two sides attacked fiercely, the fly in the ointment was that they failed to score, and the goalkeepers of both teams were in good form today." This is Joseph's fair and impartial explanation.

Soon the first half of the game was about to end, Bordeaux's right-back Chalme was injured and fell to the ground while defending Monaco's wing, and finally had to be helped off the field by the team doctor, and this game was definitely not played.

Blanco directly replaced the injured Chalme with Brazilian midfielder Wendel, and the meaning was already obvious, to strengthen the attack. However, in the last minutes of the first half, Monaco was besieging Bordeaux's goal, and Chalme's injury still had a demoralization blow to Bordeaux, but fortunately they held on to the first half.

"Judging from the first half of the game, Bordeaux has a more dominant offensive advantage with the advantage of home field, but Monaco is also not suitable for no fightback, and the two sides have played each other in attack for the time being, but the injury of Bordeaux's right-back Charme at the end of the first half is a hidden danger for Bordeaux, Blanco directly replaced the injured defender with a midfielder, showing his determination to win the opponent at home." Joseph analyzed the first half of the game that had just ended at halftime.

"In terms of revenge, Gomez's team is also doing well, and if they seize the opportunity in the second half, they can take away a victory, so it can be regarded as a successful revenge for being sacked by Bordeaux. Bordeaux's Chinese kid Liu Ting was also a good performer, and he quickly adjusted after an impatient long-range shot in the opening period, and Bordeaux's ability to dominate in the first half was not unrelated to his breakthrough on the wing. Baptiste is talking about the revenge of the media hype that fans are more concerned about.

"Well, the 15-minute break in midfield is over and the players from both sides are coming back on."

When he was on the field, Liu Ting deliberately glanced at the head coach of Monaco next to him, Ricardo Gomez, a very ordinary Brazilian. Originally, Liu Ting felt that the Brazilian who had never heard of this impression should be an incompetent person, but now he feels that this Brazilian is somewhat capable, and the current Monaco team is no longer Monaco that reached the Champions League final three years ago, it can be said that this Monaco is just an ordinary French team at all, and the most famous player in the team is the Czech high school striker Jan Kohler, who once played for Dortmund, but Gomez can take this Monaco team to the second place in Ligue 1, and can also play in Sabong· The Stadio del Mar and Bordeaux are inseparable.
