i am a football star

Chapter 10 Mace
It was the first time for Liu Ting to sit on the bench in an official game. His bored appearance soon attracted the attention of the TV director.

France has TV [-] and TV [-], both of which are sports TV stations. Channel [-] is mainly a comprehensive sports TV station. European attention, such as tennis, racing, basketball, etc., are broadcast live. Various large-scale sports games such as the Olympic Games and European Games will also be broadcast live, as well as important European football games.

TV Five is the live broadcast of the key football.

This game was broadcast live by France [-] TV. In terms of football, it mainly includes important games in Ligue [-] and other European leagues as well as important games in the European War.

There is really nothing to explain in this game. Saint-Etienne's home game is only defensive, and it is almost necessary to put a bus in front of the goal. After Blanco came on stage, Bordeaux has been changing formations and has not been able to determine the final formation. Therefore, the cooperation between Bordeaux players is not skilled enough to break the opponent's goal.

The live broadcast commentators of French TV [-] are Adrian Baptiste and his partner Cesar Joseph. These two are the gold medal partners of French TV football commentary.

"Oh, look at the bench in Bordeaux. When the camera scanned just now, I seemed to see a Hollywood star." Adrian Baptiste, who always likes to be surprised, exclaimed, and the camera went back to the bench in Bordeaux very well. "Look, there is a man with a mixed face on the bench in Bordeaux. I thought it was Keanu Reeves, a Hollywood star."

"Okay, you should go see your ophthalmologist. That is obviously a substitute wearing a Bordeaux jersey. He is obviously an East Asian face, maybe with a bit of mixed race. I wonder when Bordeaux signed an Asian player? Or is it an Asian?" Cesar Joseph, who always looked calm, retorted.

"Couldn't Reeves be a Bordeaux fan? He wore a Bordeaux jersey to support Bordeaux on the spot? And you can see that kid's face really looks like Reeves. He obviously chose the wrong career. To be a star is his way out. It's not good to sit on the bench like this." Baptiste immediately retorted.

"It's just that the face is a bit similar. Becoming a big star will not be less famous than Keanu Reeves." Joseph always sings against Baptiste.

"It's really difficult to talk to an old man, because he hasn't seen a movie at all, and he doesn't even know a classic movie like "The Matrix", let alone which movie stars are famous."

"Okay, Adrian, you should put all your energy into the commentary game instead of finding that player who looks like a star."

"This game is really boring. One team wants to attack but the offensive power is terrible, and the other team doesn't want to attack and the defense is good. Okay, my commentary is over."

The two sang together, which added some fun to the fans in the boring game.

The game ended 0:0, and Liu Ting still didn't get the chance to play. The head coach Blanco still didn't believe his strength. In the second half, Chamark was replaced.

In the fifth round of Ligue 75, Liu Ting sat out another game. Bordeaux played against Lorient at home. Wendel scored the first goal for Bordeaux in the first half. After that, Lorient equalized the score in the first half. After a long period of attacking in the second half, Blanco had already asked Liu Ting and Chamark to warm up. Keep the score of 2:1 until the end.

Blanco finally replaced striker Viela with midfielder Micoud. He wanted to strengthen the control of the midfield and keep the score until the end. Unfortunately, he fell short. Lorient equalized the score in the 90th minute. Blanco just wanted to change. There is no time to attack.

After the first two consecutive victories, Bordeaux won three rounds. After five rounds of Ligue 2, Bordeaux has 2 wins, 1 draws and 8 loss, and has accumulated 7 points, ranking 6th in Ligue 8. However, Lyon, who participated in the UEFA Champions League, has [-] points. If Lyon wins the make-up match, Bordeaux will be squeezed to the [-]th position. .

"French Football" reported: "After five rounds of Ligue 2, Bordeaux's 2 wins and 5 draws are not too bad, but they are obviously not ideal. The first team that Laurent Blanc officially coached after retiring was a strong team like Bordeaux. It is not necessarily a good thing for him. Now that 6 rounds of the league have passed, plus [-] warm-up games before the season, Blanc has not yet confirmed his main starting lineup. It’s really up for debate.”

The sixth round of Ligue [-] is coming, and Bordeaux will cross France to challenge Metz in the northeast. Metz is an underdog and has never won the Ligue [-] championship.

In this game, Blanco formed a 433 formation and wanted to win an away game.Although Blanco is a low-key head coach, he doesn't like to speak out in front of the media, he is more like an academic coach.

In Liu Ting's impression, Blanco's management of the locker room is also very average, unlike another French marshal Didier Deschamps, who dared to kick someone if he had the guts to stab someone, it didn't matter whether your name was Franck Ribery or Benzema.

Blanco is not an iron-blooded coach, but his basic coaching skills are still very good. This time he knew that he needed a victory to end the three-round winless game. Metz is a soft persimmon, so he naturally boldly attacked.

In the end, Blanco arranged for the three forwards, Bellion, Chamark and Obertan, and Liu Ting sat on the bench again.

Metz, who is playing at home, is also very satisfied. Their wish is to get points at home, no matter three points or one point, so Metz will use relatively large defensive moves at the beginning of the game, first to keep the tie and then talk about the victory.

Bordeaux did not have a good solution. Under the tenacious struggle of Metz, Bordeaux's frontcourt players made frequent mistakes and could not find a good opportunity to attack. On the contrary, Obertin got angry after being fouled by the opponent's defender in the 34th minute of the first half. Pushed the opponent and got a yellow card.

"It seems that Bordeaux may have to accept four consecutive rounds of invincibility. Metz's defense at home is fierce. Bordeaux has no clue. It seems that there is not much to do unless the head coach Blanco can make effective adjustments." Adrian Baptiste, who commented on the game on TV[-], said the situation of the game.

The Bordeaux fans who stayed in Bordeaux and watched TV were so angry that this bastard commentator always liked to play tricks, but he often talked nonsense. The current situation on the field is indeed not good for Bordeaux.

At this time, it was the 70th minute of the game, and the score was still 0:0. Instead, Metz began to look for opportunities to counterattack properly after Boll was unable to attack for a long time. If he was not careful, Bordeaux might suffer an away defeat.

Blanco on the sidelines naturally also saw the situation on the field, and was very anxious. This game must be won to seal the mouths of the media. If there is another draw or even a loss, countless media will definitely start attacking him. Who calls him a young and promising young coach? He is always concerned and easily criticized.

"Jean, ask Liu to warm up." Blanco finally made a decision.

"You should have believed in that Chinese boy. He will never let you down." Assistant coach Jean Gasset seemed to be comforting Blanco, but also optimistic about Liu Ting, then turned to the bench and shouted: "Liu, go warm up, it's your turn."

"Oh, Blanco is going to make adjustments. He just called the Chinese kid to warm up. He seems to be planning to replace him. This kid is Liu Ting. He is a Monaco-born Chinese. He came from the Barcelona youth training camp. It is said that he failed to get a professional contract in Barcelona and was signed by Blanco this summer." Liu Ting listened to the assistant coach explaining his tasks after playing and the adjustments to the team, while Baptiste was giving him a free introduction. After the banquet, Baptiste collected Liu Ting's information.

Finally, in the 78th minute of the whole game, the ball was finally dead on the court, and Liu Ting came on to replace Obertin.

Liu Ting clapped his hands with Obertin, who had a mournful face, jogged onto the field, and first told his teammates about the coach's arrangement.
