My name is Colani
Chapter 527 255 Battle of Bordeaux 2
Bordeaux was not afraid of Trapani. Once they had a chance, they would press forward boldly. However, they did not have a center forward, and crossing was not their usual style of play. In addition, Trapani's defense was very strong and did not give them too many gaps. More than ten minutes later, Bordeaux only relied on Darcheville to create a free kick opportunity. Miku's shot was not threatening and went over the crossbar.
Trapani was slow to get into the game. Midfielders Pizarro and Mascherano made frequent passing errors. Bordeaux midfielder Mavuba performed very well and made several steals.
"What's the name of that little guy?!" Hugo asked Trio who was sitting next to him.
"Haha, Gigi, you have a good eye. His name is Antonio Mavuba!" Trio said proudly, "Don't look at him as only 22 years old, but he has played in the first division for two seasons. He is the main player in my team and has performed very well!"
"How about it?! Are you interested?!" Trio leaned over and asked Hugo, "If you are interested, we can talk to them. I have always supported these guys to play for bigger teams!"
Isn't it because of money? ! Hugo despised Trio in his heart.
"Let's see!" Hugo said with a smile.
Even if Mavuba is very good, Trapani's idea of introducing him may be difficult to realize. The team has too many candidates for this position. Don't forget that there is still a Ledesma wandering outside.
Buying him is also a nuisance to himself. If you look at it for a while, Hugo will develop this Mavuba. Needless to say, his height is a disadvantage. In addition, his footwork is not as good as Mascherano and others. He is a pure defensive player, and his interest has greatly decreased.
The first half of the game was a bit dull, with a seesaw battle on the field. Bordeaux entered the state quickly at the beginning, but their playing style was flawed, and Ricardo did not show his ability to coach in the attack.
Then Trapani gradually found some feelings in the game, and his state improved. For a while, their ball possession rate was better, suppressing Bordeaux. Although Bordeaux's retreat was fast enough, Trapani's attack was undoubtedly more three-dimensional. If they couldn't get in on the ground, they would go in the air. There were several dangerous situations in front of Bordeaux's goal, which made Trio worried.
Ranieri was still acceptable to the first half. On the sidelines of the first half, he asked his assistant coach whether he needed to change the formation. He was still considering 433. He actually had his own definition for this game, although from the situation in the group stage, the sooner Trapani got three points, the better.
But for Ranieri's kick-off, it would be good if he could get a draw in this game. A draw away from home was within his acceptable range. This game was his first game after taking office, and he wanted to play it safe.
This is where he and Barrias think differently, but he can't say what he thinks, it's embarrassing.
Changing to 433, adding midfielders and reducing forwards will definitely help Trapani's midfield control.
From the latter stage of the first half, Trapani's control is strengthening, but Ranieri thinks this may not be true. He thinks Ricardo may have deliberately relaxed the competition in the midfield. First, Bordeaux itself lacks a high center forward, and the front court needs more space. What can they do by suppressing Trapani? They can't find the goal all the time; second, Trapani is not a vegetarian. Although there is no chance to threaten Bordeaux's goal, Messi's side breakthrough still left a very deep impression on Bordeaux. Ricardo's retreat may be to limit Trapani's offensive space.
According to such a calculation, it is not surprising that Ranieri made personnel adjustments based on his one-point idea.
However, Barrias expressed his opposition. He believed that Toni was not in a good state to begin with, and now reducing his helpers would only make Trapani less threatening in the penalty area.
According to the current situation, we are in an offensive battle, and there should be more people in the penalty area to contain the opponent.
Barrias spoke his mind without any scruples, and Ranieri could only keep his mind to himself. There was no way, Barrias sounded more complete, and he only reminded the team to prevent Bordeaux's counterattack.
When arranging tactics in the midfield, Ranieri encouraged everyone first, and then asked Barrias to arrange tactics.
There is nothing to emphasize about tactics. The team should strengthen the diagonal long pass and make full use of the high point, and Messi should strengthen the inside cut of the wing and reduce the bottom.
After the halftime break, the players of both sides returned to the court again. Ranieri was not wrong. Ricardo was originally planning to retreat and attract. On the bench, Bordeaux had a high center forward Chamakh, who was Bordeaux's serious starter, but Chamakh was unlucky and his injury was not healed, so he could only play as a substitute temporarily. The possibility of him playing today was very small.
There was no space in the frontcourt, and it was difficult for Bordeaux to fight a bloody way with its personnel.
In the second half, under Bordeaux's deliberate recovery, Trapani's offensive became more and more fierce. In fact, it proved that the more they gave up the ball, the more opportunities Trapani would suppress. In the 63rd minute, Toni received a cross from Maggio and successfully headed the ball to break through Bordeaux's goal.
This goal was a bit lucky. After Messi dribbled the ball on the wing to attract the defense, he knocked it back to Maggio who inserted. Maggio did not stop the ball and directly made a 45-degree cross. Toni didn't judge the landing point so accurately this time, and changed from heading to lob.
Toni's posture looked awkward, but the effect was very good!
He finally broke the Champions League goal drought in the new season, which was a relief.
Ricardo's gamble failed. On the offensive end, Darcheville had no chance to use his own advantages, but Trapani seized the opportunity.
Ranieri saw Trapani actually scored a goal, and the idea of changing the formation immediately became more eager, because he could make Trapani take a defensive position, and there was no need to play hard.
This time Barrias did not object. After all, he was a supporting role, and Ranieri was the protagonist. He did not want to have a bad relationship with Ranieri.
After Klinsmann left Trapani, some media, who were bored, began to spread rumors that Klinsmann's departure was not without reason. He had no confidants. Trapani's coaching team belonged to the team, not to him, Klinsmann, so Klinsmann was awkward and uncomfortable to use, and even had frequent conflicts.
The general meaning of these reports is that Trapani's coaching team is the main reason why Klinsmann has not been able to integrate into the team.
Such reports were enough to piss Barrias off. God knows, they still have professional ethics. How could they always find fault with Klinsmann? !
People cannot be without taboos. Even the madman Hugo has taboos. How can Barrias not have them? So he shut his mouth. Ranieri quickly completed his plan and replaced Pizarro with Mascherano, and then replaced Cesar with Ballack. The formation was adjusted to 433.
Bordeaux fell behind by one goal. Ricardo immediately responded and asked his players to press forward. Bordeaux needed to attack. This was still their home court. If they suffered a defeat, it would definitely not be satisfactory to everyone.
Bordeaux's momentum seemed to rise again, but it was not the case. Since Ballack came on, Trapani's playing style was not so roundabout and more concise. Essien and Mascherano in the double defensive midfielder position focused more on defense.
Although Bordeaux's attacking effect could not be seen in a short time, Ranieri was still very nervous on the sidelines. This was his first try, and even a small victory would be fine. He did not want the team's advantage to be caught up by Bordeaux after the change of formation.
The competition in the midfield was in a stalemate, and now no one cared about the old friends. Miku was pulled down by Essien and Barzagli one after another, and his performance was greatly affected.
As time passed, Trapani's attack seemed to be of better quality. Vucinic and Messi both got opportunities, but they were unlucky and the goals were always a little short of meaning.
Ricardo kept changing players, even the injured Chamakh was used, but he could not do anything to Trapani. At the end of the 90-minute game, Trapani won Bordeaux by one goal.
