Chapter 013: Assist
What Blanco did was to let Liu Ting play on the right side, Chamak changed to the middle, Bellion was on the left, and the rest was to strengthen the breakthrough, Bordeaux's foot skills were much better than Metz's, in short, strive to score.
Liu Ting was playing for the first time, and he was a little excited.
"We can see that the Chinese kid is wearing the No. 25 jersey, but the name on the jersey is NEW, according to the information we have obtained, his surname letter should be LIU, which should not be mistaken, it should be the Chinese kid himself asked to change. NEW means emerging, brand new, and hopefully this kid can bring us something new. Baptiste was talking about some of the things that happened on the pitch.
The letters behind the player's name can be changed freely, for example, the names of the Brazilian Kaka and Pepe jerseys are changed to nicknames by themselves, of course, when you change, you must first figure out the meaning of the changed letters, Kaka just arrived at AC Milan when the name was Caca, which in Italian represents the meaning of poop, in a game in Serie A AC Milan lost the game, the opposing coach laughed at Kaka, saying that AC Milan sent a name called' When the poop' people came on, I knew they weren't going to win the game. After that, Kaka changed the name behind the jersey to Kaka.
Liu Ting called the club's equipment administrator to NEW, the pronunciation of this letter is closer to Liu Ting's surname, so that you don't have to be called old every time, and now the club's people call Liu Ting's name much more pleasant. At the same time, Liu Ting also uses this NEW to represent himself as a brand new self.
Metz kicked off and quickly advanced to the front, Metz's midfielder Milaram Pjanic took the ball, Liu Ting went over to defend, and was easily passed by the opponent as soon as he wanted to break the ball.
"It seems that our 'newcomer' is not completely ready, and he will take a slap as soon as he gets on the field." Baptiste laughed at Liu Ting without hesitation.
Liu Ting himself smiled bitterly, as a striker, the requirements for defense are not high, so it is not painful to be directly passed by others. If it's a defender, if you rush to stretch your foot and be passed, maybe the coach on the sidelines will already be yelling.
The striker may defend and stretch his feet too much, but he may break the ball successfully and counterattack directly, the disadvantage is that it is easy to be passed. The defensive requirements of the defender are more to get stuck in the position, not to let the opponent pass easily, to see the timing of the break, and to be decisive once the ball is stretched out.
Pjanic, who has passed Liu Ting, is not unknown, and now he is only 17 years old and is already the main midfielder of Metz, a famous talented midfielder in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and will transfer to Serie A Roma and Juventus in the future, and they are famous top midfielders in Serie A.
Metz's attack was also not too threatening, with a squishy shot confiscated by Bordeaux goalkeeper Lame.
Lame tossed the ball to right wing-back Chalme, who dribbled forward, but Metz was quick to return and had no chance of a quick counter-attack. Chalme passed to Liu Ting, who dribbled past Metz's Algerian midfielder Agyaz and crossed directly, but Chamak couldn't grab the point.
"The duel between the youngest players on the field, it seems that the Chinese kid is not too far behind, in terms of fame, Pjanic is much bigger, he is a famous talent in Ligue 1, and now he is only 17 years old and has already played the main role in Metz. Although the Chinese kid was born in La Masia, as a player who was abandoned by Barcelona, he is not very famous, but his performance just now is also remarkable, and Blanco should have replaced him earlier. Baptiste was explaining the changes on the pitch just now.
After Liu Ting came on the field, Bordeaux's attack improved significantly, and Liu Ting's flexibility was unique in Ligue 1, but he had not been able to fully adapt to it.
The head coach on the sidelines, Blanco, also regretted that he didn't replace Liu Ting earlier, otherwise the score might have been rewritten, and now there is not much time, I don't know if I can win this game.

The game soon came to the 86th minute, and Bordeaux began to get a little anxious, and if they didn't score, they could only get a draw, which the whole Bordeaux team didn't want to see.
Bordeaux broke the ball at the back and quickly passed to the front again, after Berion got the ball, he shot directly outside the penalty area, Metz central defender Diop blocked the ball with his body, and the ball bounced in front of Liu Ting on the right.
Liu Ting took the ball and went to the penalty area, Liu Ting used his flexibility to shake left and right to change direction past Metz's Senegalese midfielder Sheikh Gaye, and accelerated the ball in a small area to shake off the defender Jeff Strasser, who wanted to make up for the defense, Liu Ting heard a voice at this time: "Pass, here." It should be Chamak's shout, but Liu Ting doesn't plan to pass it, Chamak is guarded in the penalty area, and the possibility of him wasting is greater than the possibility of scoring a goal.
After connecting the two, Metz's back line began to shake and become unstable, and immediately two defenders came towards Liu Ting, rushing in front of Diop, Liu Ting reacted quickly, turned around and pulled the ball continuously with both feet.
"Marseille maneuver!! The Chinese kid was too flexible on the court, passing three defenders in a row. Baptiste had just been surprised by Liu Ting's succession, and now Liu Ting had another Marseille maneuver, which directly made him roar loudly, and the French have special feelings for Marseille roundabouts.
After Marseille maneuvered past Diop, Liu Ting's position was not very good at shooting, but his goal had been achieved, most of Mez's defense was attracted by him, Liu Ting kicked back to the penalty area, just now Chamak is now open the position, but Diarra followed up and pushed directly, the Metz goalkeeper was just frightened by Liu Ting's continuous breakthrough, and the position has been deviated, so the opportunity to close the empty goal Diarra did not miss, and the ball quickly rolled into the lower left corner of the goal.
“goal!!!!! After the breakthrough of the Chinese kid, Diarra did not relent, Bordeaux finally scored, NEW!! He's really NEW, he's got something new for us, and Ligue 1 has new blood. Baptiste's long drag sounded through every Bordeaux fan's home, and the Bordeaux fans cheered and celebrated the goal.
After the ball was scored, Diarra rushed towards Liu Ting, pointing at Liu Ting while running, and after running closer, he jumped over and hugged him, and yelled in his mouth: "Well done, boy, I knew you could succeed." ”
Soon, the whole Bordeaux team rushed over to celebrate with Liu Ting and Diarra, Liu Ting could only smile stupidly, and his teammates still touched his head.
Blanco and Gasset, who were on the sidelines, were also hugging and cheering, and Blanco cheered and said, "I knew that kid could do it, and I always looked up to him." ”
Just as it wasn't him who pressed Liu Ting on the bench in the previous games, Blanco would not admit that he didn't use Liu Ting before. In fact, Blanco is just to be more secure, after all, it is the first time to coach the team, and you can't directly use newcomers to put experienced players on the bench.

Bordeaux celebrated until the referee came to remind them that the celebration was too long, and by this time the clock was already in the 90th minute, leaving time for the Metz team.
Blanco also used up the last substitution in the remaining time to stall for time, and the Metz fans had nothing to do but shout booing Bordeaux, and soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Bordeaux beat Metz 1-0, and Liu Ting also received his first assist in Ligue 1.
At the post-match press conference, Blanco did not take Liu Ting with him, he was for the purpose of protecting Liu Ting from too much interference from the media, but the media would not let go of this very interesting game and reported on the game.
Bordeaux's local newspaper "Bordeaux Sport" praised Liu Ting, who performed well in this game: "In a French match last night, Bordeaux challenged Metz away, and the game was at a stalemate, but in the second half, Bordeaux teenager Liu Ting, who came on as a substitute, generally assisted his teammate Diarra to beat Metz, and Liu Ting won the highest rating of 8 points in the game, and he was also the best in the game. It is reported that this youngster is a Chinese from Monaco, who was abandoned by Barcelona this summer, and finally Blanco signed him for free, he only received the lowest salary in the team, but this game is worth his annual salary. ”
The large French media "French Football" also reported on Liu Ting, "Bordeaux Rising Stars came off the bench but shone all over the field".
After this game, only three days later, the 7th round of Ligue 1 came. There is a European Championship next year, so this season the European leagues will end earlier, France and the Premier League are the same, there are two domestic cups, so the schedule is tight, and two games a week is common.
The good news is that after this game, Cavinaghi is almost healed from his injury and has started training with the team.
Bordeaux's opponent in this round is Monaco, Liu Ting grew up in Monaco, and still has a certain affection for Monaco, and this year he also asked his agent to contact Monaco and want to go back to Monaco to play, but unfortunately the Monaco coach doesn't look down on him at all.
The head coach of Monaco is actually the head coach of Bordeaux last season, Brazilian Ricardo Gomez, who coached in Bordeaux for two seasons, led Bordeaux to the second place in Ligue 1 in the first season, but only finished sixth in the league the second year, failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage, won the third place to participate in the Europa League and was eliminated by the La Liga team Osasuna in the round of 32, and was fired by Bordeaux at the end of the season, but soon took up his post in Monaco again.
The media is also hyping Gomez's revenge battle, Gomez has the opportunity to avenge his dismissal last season, but Liu Ting scoffed, Ricardo Gomez has no impression of this person, indicating that this person is likely to have no achievements in Europe.
The day before the game, some media dug up that Liu Ting had asked his agent to contact Monaco this summer, and wanted to go back to Monaco to play but was rejected by Gomez, which added color to the game, and it was another revenge, and the media reported on the grievances and hatred between Liu Ting and Monaco.
"According to the information we got from insiders, in fact, Liu Ting has always been a die-hard fan of Monaco, and after being abandoned by Barcelona in the summer, he wanted to go back to play for Monaco in his hometown, but the newly appointed head coach Ricardo Gomez directly rejected him, which made him very sad, and I believe that he will use his strength to prove how bad Gomez's vision is in this game."
Liu Ting smiled bitterly and looked at the report in the newspaper, this was about to catch up with the grievances of the Qing Palace. Although he has a good impression of Monaco, he is not so loyal that it is naturally good to go to Monaco, and if he can't go, he will not have a grudge against it.
Liu Ting, the 'aggrieved', didn't say anything, but Gomez said in an interview: "I don't think it's a mistake not to sign him, our team already has a lot of good players, we don't need those players who have been abandoned, and the current ranking in the standings can prove everything." ”
Monaco is currently in 2nd place in the standings, Bordeaux is ranked 5th, it is true that Monaco has better results, as if Gomez is right, but Liu Ting is unhappy and is looked down upon, which is a bad feeling.
