Chapter 067: Munich

Regardless, the Ligue 1 competition continues.

On the evening of April 20, the 34th round of Ligue 1 Bordeaux away to Toulouse came, Lyon defeated Strasbourg 2:1 away in the game that has ended, and pushed the 'university city' into the abyss of relegation, and now Bordeaux also wants to win and continue to hold Lyon.

Toulouse was the third in Ligue 1 last season, but after being slaughtered by Liverpool in this year's Champions League qualifying round, it has slumped and is currently ranked 16th in Ligue 1, and has not yet escaped the threat of relegation.

The weather also helped them, with heavy rain all day in Toulouse and it was still falling at the start of the race.

The entire Toulouse Municipal Stadium has become a rotten vegetable field, players on both sides will slip and fall if they are not careful on the field, plus 4 days later it is to challenge Bayern Munich away, Blanco also rotated some players before the game, veterans Miku and Bailean were rotated, Bordeaux could not break the opponent's goal for a while in such a situation.

"The game has reached the 60th minute of the second half, the score of the two sides is still 0:0, it seems that this heavy rain has caused a lot of trouble for Bordeaux, the jerseys of the two teams changed at halftime are already dirty, this is simply a wrestling match."

Blanco also kept shouting and commanding in the heavy rain on the sidelines, if this game is forced to draw, won't the gap with Lyon be reduced to 1 point? This is a very dangerous score gap, as long as there is a mistake in one game, it will be overtaken, the difference of 3 points plus 10 more goal difference than Lyon is considered safe, with only 4 league games left, it is difficult for Lyon to recover these 10 goal difference, Bordeaux cannot stand without a goal to chase him.

"Liu Ting was fouled by Toulouse's Bartles outside the penalty area and won a well-placed free kick, which was a free kick 27 meters from the goal, which was suitable for both position and distance, but Bordeaux's free kick in the team was not on the field, which is not good news for Bordeaux."

"Bordeaux deliberated for a while, Liu and Cavinaghi were both standing in front of the ball, not knowing who was really kicking the ball, Liu had never taken a free kick in a game, Cavinaghi had four penalty takes.

Toulouse lined up the wall, and Toulouse goalkeeper Dochez looked at the penalty spot, thinking that it should be Cavinaghi who should be in charge, and that Chinese kid had never heard of a free kick in the spot.

Liu Ting stood in front of the ball, wiped the rain from his face with his hands, and thought about the cooperation with Kavinaji.

"The referee has already whistled for Bordeaux to take this free-kick, and sure enough, Cavinaghi is running!! Uh......, Kavinaghi jumped over, it's Liu!! Hit the door directly!! Goooooooal!!! Beautiful goal!! Liu's right foot pulled a beautiful arc, and Dochez watched the ball fly into the goal without reacting, as if he couldn't bear to spoil such a beautiful free kick. Exclamations from the French commentator.

In the 74th minute, Liu Ting's direct free kick scored, and Bordeaux led Toulouse 1:0.

"It was a beautiful goal, no one knew that Liu had a free kick beforehand, and now he has taken Toulouse off guard, they thought that Bordeaux's free-kickers were not on the pitch and they didn't have to worry about fouling in dangerous positions, and now they are back at a terrible price."

Liu Ting, who scored the goal, ran to the sidelines to hug and celebrate with Blanco, and Blanco arranged this tactic at halftime, if there is a free kick in a good position, Cavinaghi will cover Liu Ting's penalty.

Blanco is also glad that he has seen this kid practice free kicks before, and he looks decent, but now he can't open the situation, he chose to believe in this kid, and he really didn't let himself down.

The game continued, and another advantage of the stadium turning into a rotten vegetable field was that the opponent's desire to counterattack after taking the lead was also limited, and one by one falling like mud monkeys on the field could not threaten the Bordeaux goal, and the score of 1:0 was maintained to the end.

"At the end of the game, Bordeaux struggled to get these three points away from home, continuing to dominate Lyon in the standings, and Bordeaux is getting closer and closer to the championship with only four rounds left in the league."

After the game, Liu Ting was asked about the free kick and replied: "Free kick has always been an important means of scoring goals, I have been practicing, this time I am very happy to show what I usually practice, I am very happy to help the team, and I want to thank the coach for giving me this opportunity." ”

Bordeaux returned to Bordeaux soon after the away victory over Toulouse, Blanco arranged for everyone to have a good rest, 4 days later it was away to Bayern, and now in the semi-finals, Blanco is not willing to give up easily, Liu Ting is suspended, Bayern's most goal-scoring Toney will also be suspended, Blanco's goal is to get a draw or a small loss away from home, and he will have a chance to advance when he returns to his home stadium when he achieves his goal.

On April 23, the Bordeaux team boarded a flight to Munich, a day earlier, as is known.

At this time, Zidane, who was far away in Madrid, Spain, was also interviewed by reporters, and the question was naturally about the Europa League semi-finals between Bordeaux and Bayern, when Zidane finally took Bordeaux to the Europa League final in Bordeaux, he was slaughtered by Bayern, and Zidane left Bordeaux to go to Turin, Italy in the summer of that year.

Such a hot topic, of course, the reporter will not let go, Zidane replied: "I believe that Bordeaux will achieve a good result in Munich, Bayern is not so strong, Bayern's hidden dangers in the second half of the schedule have been revealed, their defense is not good, Bordeaux only needs to get a good score in the first leg and is fully capable of returning to the home court to turn the tables, Bordeaux Trident is now the strongest attacking combination in France." ”

In the end, Zidane added: "No matter what the score of the first leg is, I will go back to France to cheer for Bordeaux in the second leg!" ”

Zidane has spent most of his time in Spain since his retirement, and occasionally returns to France to stay in Paris or his hometown of Marseille, he has rarely been to Bordeaux, and now he has to go back to his old club Bordeaux to cheer up, which is also a highlight of this year's Europa League.

Liu Ting also went to Germany with the team to cheer for the team, and when he came out of Munich Franz Strauss International Airport, he could see many Munich fans waiting for Bordeaux, and German fans have always been very passionate.

Fortunately, German fans are passionate but generally do not easily cause conflicts, just curse some "French, wait to be blown up!" But there were a lot of Munich fans holding signs.

The sign reads: Bayern Munich 5:1 Bordeaux, they are not predicting the score, but Bordeaux reached the Europa League final 12 years ago and was slaughtered by Bayern 5:1, they are using this score to humiliate Bordeaux.

The group of players who reached the final that year are now gone, Miku is Zidane left Bordeaux, there is no feeling for this score, but Bordeaux President Trio's face is dark, he was sitting in the box and watching Bordeaux being slaughtered.

When I arrived at the hotel I booked and arranged everything, Blanco took the whole Bordeaux team to the Allianz Stadium to step on the field, the weather in Germany is similar to that in France, at most it is a little colder, and everyone can still adapt.

Liu Ting stayed in the hotel, he couldn't play tomorrow just came to cheer.

Liu Ting, who was bored, took out the phone and dialed a call.

"Hi, Lena."

"Liu, have you come to Germany?"

"Yes, Lena, are you in Germany?"

"I'm in Munich right now, you should be in Munich, right?"

……

There is an English Park near the Allianz Arena, a wetland park formed by the Schwabing River flowing through the city of Munich, and on the west side of the English Park there is not only the Allianz Arena, but also many universities, research institutes and government agencies, and there is a Chinese Tower in the English Park.

Liu Ting met Lena Gelk in the beer garden next to the China Tower, and I don't know why she chose such a place to meet, but the beer inside was really good.

Liu Ting pointed to the round tower not far away and asked, "Why is this tower called the China Tower?" Does it have anything to do with China? ”

"I don't know, maybe it was designed by a Chinese."

The tower does have a bit of a Chinese architectural flavor, but it looks a bit like Thai architecture.

Gerker asked, "You can't play tomorrow, can you?" I also bought a ticket, it's a box, you can come and watch the game with me. ”

"Uh, thanks, but I might have to sit on the sidelines and cheer on my teammates, I can't go over to you."

"Okay. This year's German team is really humiliating, Bayern fell and could not participate in the Champions League, other teams in Germany did nothing in the Champions League, last year's Bundesliga champion Stuttgart was simply beaten all over the ground, only Schalke 04 Champions League barely qualified for the group stage, but lost to Barcelona in the quarterfinals, and now only Bayern and Bordeaux are worth paying attention to. "Even the female stars in Europe care about football.

"The Champions League is always the world of giants, and other teams can only try to go as far as possible to get more bonuses."

The two of them just chatted and drank beer, the smallest beer here is also a glass of one liter, Munich beer is still very secure, the taste is very good, and the two of them drank almost ten glasses in a while.

It's no wonder Oktoberfest is still so popular after 200 years!
