Chapter 39 The Second Round against Bordeaux
After the game against Thune, Lin Fenglei led the Gosau team to Bordeaux, France. On November 24, the Gosau team will hold a game with Bordeaux here, which is also the fifth round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League this season. At present, the Gosau team has 4 wins and 12 points in 4 games, and Bordeaux has 3 in 4 games. Win 1 loss and 9 points. In this game, as long as Gosho does not lose more than three goals to the opponent, it will lock in the first place in the group one round in advance.
Bordeaux is not having a good time in the league this season. In their Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain is currently a stand-on, and Lyon, an old strong team, has also begun to counterattack this season. In addition to the rich Monaco team after changing a new boss, Bordeaux is overwhelmed. Now They only ranked fifth in Ligue 1, and next season, after the ranking of Ligue 1 was surpassed by the Swiss Super League, there are only two seats left in the Champions League. I don't know when they will play the Champions League next time.
In this case, the Bordeaux team attach great importance to the game against Gosho at home, hoping to defeat Gosho at home and compete for the title of the first place in the group. After the group is qualified, if they want to go further, the first place in the group is very important.
Of course, this is very difficult, because Bordeaux swallowed three eggs in the away game against Gosau, so they have to win at least three goals to compete for the first place in the group in the home game. But how easy is this? Except for losing 1:5 to Atletico Madrid due to underestheless enemy, Gosau has not lost more than three goals in European competitions.
The only chance for Bordeaux is for the Gosau team to relax because of two rounds ahead of qualifying. With a substitute lineup in this game, they are likely to win a few more goals with a more positive attitude.
However, Lin Fenglei did not give them this opportunity. Recently, the schedule of the Gosho team is not intensive. Since November 8, the main players have been resting for more than half a month. Egman's big axe is already hungry and thirsty. In addition, the Gosho team has not fully locked the first place in the group. Lin Fenglei has no reason to be in this There is no main force in the game.
This is not a secret, so Lin Fenglei generously announced the starting lineup of the Gosau team in this game to the reporter two days before the game. In the usual starting lineup of the Gosau team, only two people were replaced in this game, that is, Chevali, who was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, and Hollensten, Antonavi, who had not recovered from injuries. Qi retreated to the position of central defender. Ivanovic served as the single midfielder, Lima started as the front midfielder, and Zampedero served as the right winger.
After seeing the starting lineup of Gosho, Bordeaux's head coach Gilott said pessimistically that it is difficult for Bordeaux to compete for the first place in the group. All he can do is to keep the second place in the group and get a place to qualify in the group.
On the evening of the 24th, the match between Bordeaux and Gosau began as scheduled. Although Gilott was very pessimistic before the game, the Bordeaux team still resisted tenaciously after the start of the game, which showed that they did not have no idea about the first place in the group, but their ideas were shattered soon after the game began.
In the 15th minute of the game, Avazzini successfully broke the ball from the left side of the midfield. He passed the ball back to Ribeiro and ran forward. Ribeiro's accurate long pass gave the ball to Lima in the middle of the front court. Lima immediately divided the ball to Avanzini, who had already run to the front court. Avanzini received the ball and made an inside cut. Bordeaux's right-back Ndau hurriedly ran to the inside line to intercept Avanzini, but Avanzini changed his direction halfway and continued to carry the ball to the bottom line. Ndawu was unprepared, and it was too late to change direction. Avanzini passed the ball smoothly. After the back point, Codingho jumped high and hit the goal with a strong header. The ball quickly rushed into the upper right corner of the goal. Bordeaux goalkeeper Carasso had no reaction to this close-range header.
Thousands of Gosau fans who came to Bordeaux with the team cheered loudly, because Codingho's goal basically announced that Gosau has locked the top position in the group. If Bordeaux wants to turn the tables, it needs to score five goals from Gosau in the next game, and can't let Gosho score goals. Five goals for Gosho? I'm afraid no one dares to think about it, right? If someone dares to say this, he will be regarded as a madman.
Bordeaux fans were silent in an instant. They knew that the first place in the group had nothing to do with their own team, but after a while, they began to cheer for the team again. Even if they couldn't get the first place in the group, Bordeaux's performance in the Champions League this season was good enough, as long as they did not lose in the last game. For the Belgrade guerrillas, they will get the second place in the group, which is not difficult for them. It is not a shame for the Bordeaux team to fall behind the defending champion in the group.
Just 6 minutes later, Gosho made a comeback. Ivanovic sent a very penetrating straight plug in the backcourt. After Egman's high-speed plug in the middle, he caught the ball and formed a single knife. Soon he took the ball into the penalty area, but in the process of driking the ball, the ball touched a protruding turf and jumped up. This An accident slowed him down the speed of dripping the ball. Bordeaux's fast Cameroonian central defender Nkulu tried his best to catch up with him, and then decisively fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of Egman's feet.
The ball fell at the feet of the left-back Camara, who returned to the defense. Camara was relieved with his big foot, but he was in a hurry and did not drive the ball away. The ball was kicked by him and flew to the side road. Sampedro received the ball and sent a pass directly. Egman jumped high in the middle of the penalty area with a very stretched movement. He made a volley, and the ball quickly penetrated into the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Bordeaux goalkeeper Carasso still did not react to the strong shooting at close range. In fact, Carasso is also an excellent goalkeeper, but he didn't react to the two goals he lost in this game. The two strikers of the Gosho team are so excellent, and the center and landing point of the Gosho team. Their shots are all close-range shots, and the speed is fast. Carasso really has no room for reaction. .
Egman rushed to the stands of the Gosho fans on the sidelines. The Gosho fans shouted his name in a loud voice. They expressed their love for the super striker who scored like grass mustard in this way. Egman scored in the group stage of the Champions League this season. This goal is already his eighth goal in the five group matches. At present, he is still at the top of the Champions League scorer list. As long as there is Egman, the Gosho team will have the guarantee of scoring.
Gosau's second goal destroyed the fighting spirit of Bordeaux, and Gosau did not press it too hard. After all, this is Bordeaux's home, and it still needs to give them some face. If the pressure is too much, it will be good to make Bordeaux angry.
The following games have a bit of routine. The desire of the two teams to score goals is not very strong. When Gosho controls the ball, it is more in the midfield and backfield. The two teams occasionally have some good shooting opportunities. Either they are destroyed by the guard or saved by two goalkeepers, but they have not been able to score.
In the 88th minute of the second half of the game, Lin Fenglei was preparing to use up the last substitution and waiting for the end of the game. At this time, Gosho got a corner kick. Ribeiro opened a corner kick, but the ball was too close to the goal and was jumped high in the air by Bordeaux goalkeeper Carasso. After taking it off, Carasso quickly threw the ball and launched a counterattack. Bordeaux left-back Camara got the ball and quickly pushed the ball to the front court.
Camara went to the front court and passed the ball to Stiemens in the middle. Stiemens went straight to Chamark in the penalty area for the first time. At this time, because two central defenders of Gosau were competing for the header in the penalty area of Bordeaux, it was too late to come back. When Gosho's defense was the weakest, Gugelman desperately After Chamark's shot, he finally returned to the penalty area, and then fell to the ground and tackled the ball out of the bottom line, but Chamark also fell to the ground.
When Gugleman fell to the ground to tackle the ball, the English referee Jimmy. Hunter is still far from the location of the incident, because the Gosho team was just holding a free throw, and he is still near the penalty area of Bordeaux, but now the ball has reached the Gosho team's penalty area. Of course, he can't run to the scene of the incident so quickly in such a short time, so he didn't see what happened in the penalty area.
After consulting the assistant referee, Hunter awarded a penalty and showed a yellow card to Gugleman. Gugelman immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction. He thought he had tackled the ball and did not touch Chamark, but Hunter insisted on his penalty.
At this time, the big screen at the scene also played the slow motion just now. The slow motion showed that Gugelman did tackle the ball first and did not seem to have met Chamark. Hunter's penalty was debatable, and the Gosho fans at the scene suddenly booed.
However, the referee's decision is irrevocable. Captain Gosho Avanzini pulled away several Gosho players who are arguing with Hunter, especially the ind Gugelman. If Hunter gives Gugelman another yellow card, the Gosho team will lose a lot.
When the Gosho players withdrew from the penalty area, Hunter blew the whistle. Stiemens, who took the penalty, ran and pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal. This time, Ceccarelli misjudged. He jumped to the right, the ball got into the goal, and Bordeaux scored a point.
