Chapter 018: There is a team called Grand Paris
Tampere United were indeed too weak to be Bordeaux's opponent at home, and in the end Bordeaux defeated Tampere United 3-1 away, with the newly injured Cavinaghi scoring twice, and Miku added the icing on the cake before the break. Liu Ting received an assist and a low cross in the second half was headed into the net by Cavinaji. To be honest, Liu Ting feels that his ability to cross is average, and La Masia is not good at teaching people to cross, what he is better at is ground coordination, if he encounters a guy like Beryon, who has a bad header, he can top the empty door two miles away, and Liu Ting's cross is simply a big luck.
However, now that Cavinaghi has returned to play in the middle, the middle grabbing points is obviously much better, and Liu Ting can also mix a few cross assists, it seems that Cavinaji's Barty successor is not talking nonsense, and it is really a little level.
I have to say that Blanco is indeed a good coach, now Bordeaux's forward line, Cavinaghi can score goals in the middle, Bellyon who returns to the left can freely use his speed to run wildly on the side, Liu Ting can also cross on the right side to break through to help the team, and now Bordeaux's attacking combination is finally beginning to take shape.
With two goals away and three away goals, Bordeaux can take it in stride, and even if they lose 0:2 at home in the next leg, they can rely on away goals to advance more, and the next thing Bordeaux has to do is to prepare to go away to Paris Saint-Germain.
Bordeaux first took a train across France to Lille a week ago, flew to Finland four days later, and then flew to Paris, France.
Grand Paris has not yet been acquired by Qatar's local tycoons, and the situation in Ligue 1 is not too good, good year after year, it only won the 15th place in Ligue 1 last year, and there is no hope for the situation this year, and now it is only ranked 11th in Ligue 1 after eight rounds of league play.
No one would have thought that such a Parisian team would let the whole world know in the future: there is a team called Grand Paris in this world, and there is a kind of owner called Qataris, and it is not a problem to spend more than 200 million euros to buy a star, because not all teams can be called Grand Paris.
Who would have thought that there would be such an epic love-hate relationship between Paris, Barcelona and Neymar in the future?
However, as one of the only two teams in Ligue 1 that have won the European championship, Grand Paris is still very profound, the only French team that has won the Champions League, Marseille, and the only French team that has won the European Cup Winners' Cup, Grand Paris are the two most representative teams in France, and African star George Weah is the world footballer of the year won during his time in Grand Paris. Therefore, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose in the clash between Bordeaux, which is very tired, and Paris, which is slightly in decline.
The good news is that the main right-back Chalme, who was injured during the game against Monaco, is back from injury.

'Players from both sides have already played and this game is the highlight of the round, with Paris Saint-Germain hosting visiting Bordeaux. Paris Saint-Germain finished 15th in Ligue 1 last season, but this season has not improved and is still in the middle and lower reaches of the table. Bordeaux had a good run under new coach Blanco, but this was their third away game in a week, and the whole team was tired and didn't know what kind of performance they would have. "It's Adrian Baptiste who is commenting on the game again.
The two sides guessed the coin and kicked off the side, and in the end, Grand Paris kicked off first.
"Saint-Germain attacked Bordeaux from the start, and it seems that although the recent form has not been good, Saint-Germain is still unwilling to defend at the Parc des Princes in Paris and have to compete with Bordeaux."
Although Paris Saint-Germain is attacking, it seems to be a little messy, which is also the consequence of a team's long-term poor record, and the players on the field have no sense of sincere cooperation, thinking that they do not need to be relegated or have the ability to compete for the title, so try to show themselves. In addition, the current head coach of Saint-Germain, Paul Gunn, is not a capable guy, Liu Ting has never heard that this brother is from that mountain, and he has mixed into the position of head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, a powerhouse in Ligue 1, and Saint-Germain's poor record is also deserved.
Saint-Germain's attack appeared disorganized, which gave Bordeaux a chance.
"Bordeaux's counterattack, Charme, who had just returned from injury, stole Saint-Germain striker Diani in the backfield and passed the ball to the Chinese boy in front, Liu quickly advanced to the front with the ball, he was really flexible on the field, a simple change of direction passed Saint-Germain defender Zouma Camara and picked up Cavinaghi in the penalty area."
"Cavinaghi didn't turn around and hit the goal, he went straight to the header back to Miku, who came up, Miku had a good chance, he easily passed Benard Mendy, and he was already single-handed, Saint-Germain goalkeeper Rondello could only attack, goooooal!! The ball went in!! Miku slotted home from the far corner and just 10 minutes into the game saw Bordeaux take the lead, proving he was still on the back of his game with two consecutive scores. Baptiste's roar rang out again.
In the 10th minute of the first half, Liu Ting broke through the pass, Cavinaghi did it back, Miku scored a single goal, and Bordeaux led 1:0.
"Through this goal, we can see that Bordeaux is very fluid in front, Saint-Germain looks defenseless, and Bordeaux can easily tear up the defense."
This goal really made the Saint-Germain players start to realize the difference in quality between themselves and Bordeaux, and the attack was not so pressed. But when the pressure on Bordeaux subsided, they began to launch a series of attacks on Saint-Germain.
In the 18th minute, Kavinagy's header hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.
Only 3 minutes later, Liu Ting broke through into the penalty area with the ball and was tackled by the opposing defender Silva Armand, but the referee thought that he had tackled the ball first and did not blow the foul, but Blanco on the sidelines was shouting for a penalty.
In the 25th minute, Bellion broke through on the left and crossed into the box, and Cavinagui's shot was saved by Rondello.
In the 31st minute, Miku gave a direct plug to Baileon, who successfully countered offside, but was slightly hesitant when shooting and was destroyed by the opponent's goalkeeper's decisive attack.
Bordeaux's tidal offensive pressed Saint-Germain to raise his head, and the home team was beaten by such a pressure, and Saint-Germain's players began to have fire, and the defensive action became bigger and bigger. Liu Ting decisively reduced the breakthrough, it is not a big problem to win this game, and the recent schedule is tight and tired, and the injury will outweigh the loss.
Liu Ting thinks so, others don't think so, for example, Kavinaji, who has just returned, feels that he scored a brace in the last game, and he has been in good form recently, and wants to stabilize his main position with goals.
※※※
Sometimes it backfires, and the more Kavinaji tries to score, the more he doesn't get a good chance.
In the 42nd minute, Miku passed a high ball into the penalty area, and Cavinaghi jumped hard to fight for the top, but when he fell, he covered his thigh in pain and fell to the ground.
Blanco, who was on the sidelines, was so angry that he threw the mineral water bottle on the grass, and Cavinaghi looked like he had probably had another problem with his thigh injury after recovering from his injury, and the trident he had just experimented with was immediately missing the middle link.
In the end, Kavinaghi was carried off the court on a stretcher, and Liu Ting could see the tears under his hands on his face.
"Some people say that Cavinaghi failed to live up to expectations and become the real successor of Barty because he went to Moscow to play for money, but his injury is not unrelated." Baptiste said with a slight sigh.
In the final minutes of the first half, both sides were uninterested in fighting, Cavinagh's injury hit Bordeaux's morale to a certain extent, and Saint-Germain thought about waiting for the manager's changes in midfield immediately.
At half-time, Blanco was asking for the second half to continue attacking, and a one-goal lead was the least secure.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, replacing Cavinaghi on the field of Brazilian striker Viera to play in the middle, Blanco did not let Berion go to the middle again, his performance in the middle was enough to cheat, or the side was open for him to swing.
"I wonder if Saint-Germain's manager Paul Gunn made any changes at half-time? Anyway, I don't think Saint-Germain's attack improved in the second half, and Cavinaji's injury could have been a comeback for Saint-Germain, but Gunn seemed to be blind to this opportunity. At the start of the second half, Baptiste did not hesitate to mock Paul Gunn's tactical changes.
Paris Saint-Germain does not look like the attack is improving, it is still the same old thing, in short, it is a blind J play. However, Saint-Germain's rough defense has intensified, as if he wants to kick all Bordeaux off the field, maybe Gunn has learned the Chinese Art of War, and wants to surrender without a fight, and naturally no one will play against them if they get all Bordeaux down.
In the 47th minute of the second half, Liu Ting was fouled by the opponent at the edge of the penalty area, Bordeaux won a well-placed free kick, and the first free kick penalty taker in the Bordeaux team was Bellion, and the level of free kicks of others was average, only Bellion was better.
'Bordeaux got a free-kick in a good position and Bordeaux sent in Berleon, who looked like he was going to hit the goal. Saint-Germain had already lined up a wall of five men, with Beryon running – hitting the goal, the ball – in!! The ball is in! Barrião had a beautiful shot that arced just past the wall and into the top right corner of the net, and Saint-Germain paid the price for their rough defence. Baptiste's roar reappeared.
