Soon, the two-week national team competition ended, Liu Ting also in this half a month and his teammates have been greatly closer, he did not participate in the pre-season training camp, when he joined Bordeaux, it was already the time for the French Ligue 1 to kick off, and after coming to Bordeaux, he was not favored by the head coach and teammates, and now he is finally integrated into the team.

With the return of the whole team, Ligue 1 is back in action.

Bordeaux's opponent in this round is Lille, Lille is not a strong team, nor is it the dark horse champion of Ligue 1 with stars such as Hazard in the future, but the results in the past two years have been quite good, and the 04/05 season also won the league runner-up.

Air France employees went on strike.

In France, strikes are commonplace. Maybe it's because I'm innate and don't want to make excuses for work, or maybe it's really for the benefit of the workers, but only God knows what the reason is, anyway, there are dozens of strikes every year in France, large and small. If a foreigner goes to work in France, if he doesn't buy a car as soon as possible, he may be late for work, and he will encounter it unexpectedly, and there will be a strike of bus drivers and taxi drivers in a month or two, and it will be a problem to go to work without his own car.

In France, people who haven't been on strike a few times are embarrassed to say hello when you go out.

For most European clubs, if they play away from home, they will generally consider airplanes more than 300 kilometers away, and trains or buses directly to the team within 300 kilometers. And Bordeaux to Lille is more than 800 kilometers.

Now that airline staff are on strike, the plane will naturally not be able to sit. Lille is one of the farthest French cities from Bordeaux, Lille is located in the northernmost part of France, and Bordeaux is in the southwest corner of France. Bordeaux takes more than four hours to get to Lille by fast train, and it has just finished participating in the national team competition, and there are still a few national team players in the team.

In the end, the whole Bordeaux team took the train to Lille.

In the evening, France Télévisiono 5 is broadcasting "Weekly Match", a football program about the French league, mainly about the weekly matches of French teams.

"The eighth round of Ligue 1 has all ended, maybe it is affected by the national team competition, maybe it is the impact of the airline strike, most of the strong teams in this round are not in good shape, Monaco lost 1:2 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille also lost 1:2 at home to Toulouse, Bordeaux drew 1:1 with Lille away, but Lyon defeated Metz 5:1 away, although the dark horse Nancy lost away from home after the beginning of this season, it still ranked first in Ligue 1 with 17 points, However, he has Bordeaux and Lyon behind him with 15 points, Lyon is still one less round, if Lyon wins the play-off game, it will be at the top of the table with 18 points, I don't know if Lyon can win the Ligue 1 title again this season, completing an unprecedented seven consecutive championships. ”

Bordeaux failed to win this round in the end, the long journey and some players just came back from the national team competition, the Bordeaux team did not perform well at the Pierre Moruis stadium in Lille, conceded the goal in just 3 minutes, and then although Bordeaux tried his best to adjust, and finally equalized in the 40th minute, but at the beginning of the second half, Chamak was sent off for a flying tackle on the opponent and was sent off, and Bordeaux, who had one less person, could only retreat across the line, and finally held on to a draw.

In the case of the poor performance of the whole team, Liu Ting's performance was still bright, and the equalizing goal of Bordeaux was scored by Liu Ting after a corner kick made in the front court. Liu Ting couldn't support the whole team by himself, but he once again strengthened his position in the team by showing that he was able to do so.

After this round, the Bordeaux team returned to Bordeaux to prepare for the next game. The match between Bordeaux and Lille is on September 15, and then Bordeaux will go to Finland on September 20 to participate in the first leg of the third round of the Europa League qualifying round away against Tampere United, and then on the 23rd, they will go to the French capital to challenge the ninth round of Ligue 1 in Paris, and on the 26th, it will be the third leg of the French League Cup. With two games in a row, and all but the last French League Cup game at home, and three away games flying around in a week, Bordeaux has been an absolute devil's fixture.

France and England have two domestic cups, the French Cup and the French League Cup, and the champions can participate in European competitions, so it also makes the French league schedule relatively tight, and the slightly better thing is that regardless of the French Cup or the French League Cup, the French team only needs to participate from the third round.

The good news is that the airline strike is coming to an end, and Bordeaux doesn't have to worry about flying to Finland. After all, France is a big tourist country, it is impossible to delay aviation all the time, if the bus driver or taxi driver strikes may drag on for a few more days, the airline strike French government will solve it as soon as possible.

On September 19, the Bordeaux team finally got their wish and took a flight from France to Finland to prepare for the game a day in advance. Weakness in Europe has always been a repertoire for Ligue 1 teams, but weakness does not mean that they do not pay attention to it, there are many reasons for the weakness of Ligue 1 in Europe, and it should be paid attention to.

Tampere is Finland's second largest city after the capital Helsinki, and is an important industrial region in Finland. Tampere is not well-known in Europe, but it was the secret base of Lenin and Stalin in Europe, where the Socialist Democratic Labor Party held several underground meetings and eventually overthrew Tsarist Russia and ushered in the Soviet era. Today, Tampere is home to one of the world's only remaining Lenin museums.

Bordeaux borrowed the training ground of TPV Tampere, a city rival of Tampere United. Blanco intends to start Cavinaghi this game, and after being injured for so long, it is time to come out and contribute to the team.

"I'm going to start Cavinaghi in the middle, with Berleon on the left and Liu Ting on the right. This is the combination that best brings out their strengths. Head coach Laurent Blanco spoke to assistant coach Jean Gassett on the sidelines.

'Cavinaghi has only just returned from injury and has only been training with the whole team for a short time, so I'm worried he won't be able to drink his team-mates and work together completely. Gassett spoke of his worries.

"It doesn't matter, Tampere United is not a strong team, it can be said that it is a completely fish belly team, and we also sent a veteran like Miku with many years of European experience, even if Cavinaghi does not perform well, it is just a good time to use this game to see how the three of them work together. If we do well, we can even put together a good trident and maybe hope for a league title. Blanco thought about that beautiful scene, he broke Lyon's monopoly on the French championship in the first year of his leadership, and quickly became a new generation of emerging coaches in France, but his face couldn't help but look like a spring on his face, which made assistant coach Gassett feel that he was not following the wrong person.
