Chapter 658
Knockout, as the name suggests, the winner goes one step further, and the loser stops here. Whenever the Champions League reaches this stage, all teams will involuntarily become cautious in the game.

At this moment, this game is no exception. Since the ball was kicked out, the two teams have maintained a very cautious attitude. Whether it is Piacenza, who keeps throwing the ball back and forth in the midfield, or Bordeaux, who is tentatively pressing the opponent in the half, they have not yet shown their edge to the opponent.

Such a stable battle situation also gave Liu Jianhong time to introduce the formation and lineup of the two sides. After briefly describing Piacenza's starting lineup to the fans, he set his sights on Bordeaux.

"In this game, Bordeaux played a 4213 formation. The arrangement of Diarra and Wendell's double defensive midfielders made the team's defensive strength very substantial, and Gourcuff, who played the role of the midfielder, assumed the responsibility of the core of the midfield."

Looking at the situation where you come and go on the field, Liu Jianhong, who has already done enough homework, has little effort to point out several key players in Bordeaux: "In terms of striker configuration, No. 7 Gufran and No. 11 Bellion are the left and right wingers respectively, and the center forward is played by Cavinaghi."

There is no doubt that this is an offensive and defensive formation. After the formation of the two sides is completely opened, Bordeaux has a strong confidence in both offensive and defensive ends.

Being able to step on the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and the old lady Juventus in the UEFA Champions League group stage to qualify as the first place in an unbeaten game, this team is definitely qualified to make any opponent afraid.

On the court, the conservative play of both sides has lasted for nearly 10 minutes. During this period, the possession of the ball has changed several times, but the attack closest to the goal by both sides was just a few sporadic long-range shots.

Liu Jianhong, who was sitting in the commentary room, was not in a hurry. He knew very well that this kind of game couldn't be like other leagues where the game was played freely, but he was also very clear that the current calm was only a temporary superficial stability.

Soon, this situation was broken. Piacenza, who had the advantage of the home court, could not bear it first. Starting from a steal, the home team began to attack the opponent.

After all, if you want to go further, how can you not draw your sword?
"Nahinggolan made a successful steal. His task in this game was obviously to mark Gourcuff. Judging from his performance so far, he did a good job and the ball was given to Ramirez."

At the beginning of this attack, Liu Jianhong didn't see any clues yet, but when Ramirez stopped passing the ball back after getting the ball and crossed the half court along the left side with the ball, people realized that this was the rhythm of the sword.

"Ramirez moved very fast. He got rid of Bellion's pursuit in the first place and advanced quickly. Diarra went up to him in the first time!"

As the team's attacking midfielder, Gourcuff's defensive ability is not strong. At the moment, he is running with Ganso who is plugging in, and he has no chance to press to the side. Therefore, the scene has become a one-on-one situation between Diarra and Ramirez for a short time.

But obviously, Ramirez is not the kind of player who likes to show off. After completing the task of pulling out one of the opponent's double midfielders, he directly chose to pass the ball.

"Ramirez passed the ball directly. The ball was pushed to Ganso in the middle. Ganso took the ball directly under Gourcuff's interference. It was very accurate. Gilardino got the ball with his back!!!"

The two-legged pass didn't take much time, and when Gilardino got the ball on the left side of the arc of Bordeaux's big penalty area, the Leonardo stadium's shouts were already on fire.

However, something unexpected happened the next moment.

"Gilardino took the ball with his back. He was observing the running positions of his teammates. A Feng and Gan Suo in the middle had already run over. He had many options for passing the ball. Oh~, he fell to the ground. Wendell, who was stuck behind him, directly knocked him down."

"Shh!!!"

There was nothing to say. Faced with such an obvious foul, the referee blew the foul whistle without hesitation. Wendell, with an innocent face, raised his hands and left the foul scene.

Since it was not long before the start of the game, the referee on duty did not directly choose to play the card. He didn't even call Wendell to his side, but bent down and drew an arc where Gilardino fell.

"Piacenza's direct free kick, they got a free kick in a bad position after the fast break was interrupted by the opponent. Obviously Bordeaux made corresponding arrangements for Piacenza's fast break."

Liu Jianhong in the commentary frowned when Gilardino was brought down, because he thought it was not an accidental foul. According to the situation just now, Wendell, who was stuck behind Gilardino, seemed to have been prepared.

"This is a direct free kick about 35 meters away from the goal. The ball is on the left side of the midfield. It is difficult for the players to draw an effective arc."

On the court, I have to say that this tactical foul by Bordeaux had a great impact on Piacenza, which was just about to start. The players felt as uncomfortable as eating flies at the moment.

However, free kicks still have to be punished. At this moment, Liu Feng, Gan Suo and Nainggolan are all standing in front of the ball.

"The three free kickers have already stood up. Both Afeng and Nainggolan have the ability to threaten the goal at this distance. Let's take a look at Piacenza's arrangement."

As Bordeaux's human wall was arranged under Carasso's arrangement, the field has gradually quieted down, and only the loud voices of the home fans are left from all sides.

"Maple! Maple! Maple!"

Just from the shouts, one can see whose attack everyone is most looking forward to at this moment.

Finally, with the whistle of the referee, the three players standing in front of the ball moved.

"Gan Suo started up first. He should have helped the team interfere with the opponent's wall. Sure enough, he stepped over from the ball. The second one was Afeng! He also moved, came to the ball, and kicked directly!!!"

"Oh!"

There is nothing fancy or procrastinating. The game time has just reached 25 minutes. There is no need to make things so complicated. Liu Feng, who stands on the side of the ball with his left foot and his right leg is fully tense, puts his foot directly under the ball in the next moment.

"The ball went into the air, the ball was very fast! Straight to the goal!!!"

This was a clean attack and a free kick shot with extremely fast speed. From the time the ball left Liu Feng's feet to when it flew over the wall to the goal, it didn't even take a second.

"Shh!"

The next moment, what people saw was the scene of the Bordeaux net being lifted high by the ball.

The big "Maple" was flying, and Super Maple took the lead in breaking the situation for the team with a strong free kick.
