Chapter 452
At 5:30 pm on October 19, Bordeaux's home stadium, the Atlantic Stadium, was packed with 42,115 spectators.
The third round of the Champions League group stage is about to begin.
Bordeaux players are wearing blue and white jerseys, and Manchester City players are wearing retro pink jerseys.
In terms of starting lineup, Knight returned to the starting lineup as right winger, Modric moved back to left winger, and Bale returned to the bench.
The rest of the regular starting lineup is still a 4-3-3 formation with a single defensive midfielder and two wings.
Bordeaux side.
Starting goalkeeper: former French main goalkeeper Ulrich Lamé!
Defenders: Jorieti, Henrique, Menegazzo, Rio Mavuba!
Midfielder: John Micoud, Alejandro, Jemari, Wendel!
Double forwards: Lilian Lasland, Darcheville!
Bordeaux's head coach Roland Kulbis played the most popular 4-4-2 formation.
Roland Kulbis!
Currently the head coach who has coached a team for the longest time in the entire French Ligue 1, he started coaching Bordeaux as early as the early 1990s.
It was also in the summer of 1992 that he had a keen eye and overcame all objections, bringing Zinedine Zidane, who was relegated to Ligue 2 with Cannes at the time, to Bordeaux at a price of 3.59 million francs.
In the four years that Zidane spent in Bordeaux, he quickly grew into a world-class midfielder and led Bordeaux to a brief glory.
However.
After Zidane went to Juventus, Roland Kulbis proved his coaching ability in addition to his outstanding vision.
Bordeaux has had ups and downs in the next 10 years. Last season's second place in Ligue 1 is already the best result since 2000.
Currently, there is not even a player in Bordeaux whose fame has gone beyond France.
Judging from the paper strength of both sides.
This is destined to be a Champions League group match with a huge gap in strength.
....................................................
After the game started, Manchester City, who got the ball first, quickly opened up the formation, spread out the two wings, and launched a fierce attack.
Modric crossed the center line with the ball on the left.
A forward pass.
Send the ball to Cassano's feet and instigate an attack.
Cassano challenged Bordeaux left winger John Micoud one-on-one, made a series of bicycle kicks, changed the line of the ball, and broke through and cut in.
As the ball approached the penalty area.
Bordeaux shrank the line and sent central defender Menegazzo and defensive midfielder Jemari to defend Su Fei in the middle.
The Barry boy turned and swept, and the ball passed the top of the penalty area and rolled to Podolski on the left.
The German teenager rushed to the point and shot hard.
The ball was held in the arms of Bordeaux goalkeeper Lamé.
Although Manchester City's first attack failed to score, it has set the tone for the main attack in this game.
Bordeaux's defense line is like a broken window with wind blowing everywhere in front of Manchester City's midfield, which is good at shooting and passing.
......
The 11th minute of the game.
Javi Martinez made a long pass from the backcourt, and the ball came to Knight's feet on the right side of the frontcourt.
Knight made a high-speed run, crossed the ball from the bottom, and went straight to the penalty area.
Su Fei headed the ball in the penalty area.
Violent attack.
"Bang!!!"
The explosion sound brought a familiar shock to the French fans.
1:0!
After scoring the goal, Su Fei ran to the corner area, crossed his hands on his chest, and slid to his knees to celebrate.
Seeing the demon Su perform a new celebration at his home court.
French fans who support Bordeaux are like a thorn in their throats.
Damn it.
In the World Cup in Germany, Croatia beat France 3:0, forcing head coach Domenech to resign and Zidane to retire.
French football has not had time to settle accounts.
Today, the magic Su taught a new lesson to the French fans who support Bordeaux.
At this time.
A black kid in front of a TV in the northern suburbs of Paris, 8-year-old Kylian Mbappe.
Seeing the celebration action of the magic Su crossing his arms in the screen, his eyes lit up.
"Bon beau! Bon beau!"
...........................................................
The team was behind, and Bordeaux had to change the original main defense strategy in the following time and look for opportunities.
But Manchester City, with its fierce offensive, soon let Bordeaux's players feel what it means to be the top defense in the Premier League.
In the 19th minute of the game.
Bordeaux goalkeeper Lamé kicked the goal kick from the backcourt to the central defender Henrik, who passed the ball to the leftDefender Jorieti.
Jorieti dribbled forward, and after getting close to the center line, he played a two-on-one match with John Miku.
The ball was successfully sent to the front court by Bordeaux.
John Miku made a lob pass and sent the ball to the feet of striker Lasland at the top of the penalty area.
Opportunity.
Bordeaux's chance seemed to have come.
But what followed was not Lasland's shooting show, but Martinez's precise sliding tackle.
The ball was destroyed by Martinez.
Cannavaro rushed over and sent the ball out of Manchester City's backcourt with a big kick.
Bordeaux's attack could only end with the sighs of the fans.
...
25th minute of the game.
Bordeaux's offensive resumed, and Manchester City's high pressure gave Bordeaux the opportunity to counterattack quickly.
Midfielder Henrik sent a very beautiful high lob in the middle.
Bordeaux striker Darcheville successfully headed the ball in the front court, creating a single-handed opportunity.
But this time.
The Bordeaux players still failed to get a chance to shoot.

The 39th minute of the game.

In the center circle.
After Su Fei unloaded the high ball with his back, he turned around smoothly.
A powerful trip.
Explosive acceleration.
He pulled away the defensive Menegazzo with the ball.
Su Fei dribbled the ball towards the penalty area, attracting the attention of Bordeaux's penalty area defense, and then passed the ball with his left foot.
He passed the ball to Cassano on the left who followed into the penalty area.
This pass was very comfortable.
Cassano was unmarked, and he pushed the ball directly to the far corner without stopping.
The ball crossed the goal line.
2:0!
Bordeaux, who had been attacking fruitlessly for a long time, was seized by Manchester City to counterattack and further expand their lead.
Led by Su Fei, Manchester City players celebrated wildly on the field of the Atlantic Stadium.
The Bordeaux fans in the stands were silent.
Head coach Kulbis shook his head helplessly.
On the side of the field.
Stuart sat back on the bench with peace of mind.
This game is stable.
After playing two difficult Champions League group matches, it finally came to an easy game.
Including this game.
They have played against all three opponents in Group C and won all of them, 3 wins in 3 games.
Although there are still 3 games left.
But as the first in the group, it should be safe to qualify.
It depends on the round of 16.
Can this good luck continue?
