Rist finally stayed in Prague to rest these days, watching the disputes within the Czech Football Association like watching a movie.Sure enough, just as Rist thought, Obst made a strong statement in the meeting of the Czech Football Association that he would continue to trust Hovanec.Rist sneered in his heart, Obst, this old man, has always been very smart.But when Czech football was rising strongly, I didn't know what was wrong. I would give up a good coach like Brückner and choose a young coach like Hovanec.Let Czech football must suffer a big setback.

Look at the current performance of Hovanec in the national team is a mess, and the Czech newspapers have bombarded him for a while.But Obst had no choice but to continue to support him.But Rist knew that once the Czech national team could not enter the European Cup next year, then the only thing waiting for Obst was retirement.

Many powerful figures from the Czech Football Association, no one came out to object.It's not that they don't want to come out to oppose, but they are just afraid of being the first bird.Although Obst's position is shaky now, it is more than enough to deal with one or two early birds.After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but his strength is still very strong.Therefore, no one wanted to provoke Obst at this time.

But these people are not easy to mess with.These people are waiting, waiting for Hovanez to perform poorly in this European Cup qualifier.At that time, these people will rush forward, and it will be better than Obst not retiring in the end.

Rist is not only because of Obst's prestige and strength, but more importantly, after Obst retires, Merkley is the most likely.Take the cooperation between Rist and Merkley over the years.Riester is willing to let Merkley become the chairman of the Czech Football Association.In this way, it is much more convenient for Rist to do things.

And at a time when the Czech Football Association was in turmoil, Sparta Prague continued their journey in the Champions League this season.The choices for Thomas Czerny and Zeman this season are simple.Most of the energy has to be in the Champions League.

As for the domestic league, although Zeman is not more attentive than the Champions League, he will not let it go.And more importantly, this time for Zeman Thomas Czerny, he scooped up all the top players in the Czech Republic.Originally, the strength of Sparta Prague was the best in the Czech League. This time, they have tapped out all the players in the Czech League, and their strength is even more overbearing.In the Czech First Division, no one can shake the status of Sparta Prague.

For the Champions League rotation, Sparta Prague is also ranked first in the Czech League.The domestic league will not affect Sparta Prague's performance in the Champions League at all.

On September 1999, 9, Sparta Prague faced their first opponent in the Champions League group stage at home.Bordeaux from Ligue 15.Bordeaux is also the strongest in this group.Champions League tickets are more expensive than league tickets.Especially for a team like Sparta Prague that is difficult to enter the Champions League.It is not an easy opportunity to be able to play in the Champions League group stage.Therefore, although the tickets are much more expensive than the league, it still attracts all the fans.

"Louis, the red wine of Bordeaux has been famous for a long time. You also have a lot of wineries, and I am looking forward to it."

"Rist. I'm always welcome."

In the box Rist was joking with the chairman of Bordeaux.Although Riester has not yet entered French football.But I also know some people in French football.The chairman of Bordeaux is Louis Trio.Became the chairman of Bordeaux three years ago.He is also a successful wine merchant, owning several local wineries and vineyards.Among several well-known wineries and vineyards in Bordeaux, there is his property.

Among the players that Bordeaux have played for over the years is undoubtedly Zidane.It was Zidane's outstanding performance in Bordeaux that he was introduced by Juventus.Now he has become a superstar.At present, the most famous player in Bordeaux is Micoud.

There will be room for attacking midfielders like Miku in the next few years. With the emergence of Makelele, Essien, Mascherano and other defensive midfielders who are purely defensive and destructive, many Miku Players of the library type are slowly withdrawing from the stage of history.

Because the biggest feature of these attacking midfielders is good ball control and good passing, but they also have their shortcomings, that is, they don't run much.It is because of their characteristics that the full-time defensive midfielders clinging to the defense will greatly limit the development of these midfielders.The most typical example is Gourcuff, a new generation of French classic midfielder known as the "successor of Zidane". He performed very well in Ligue [-].But once it comes to the league with stronger defense, it can only be eliminated.Because that kind of destructive midfielder is getting more and more.

Zeman's tactics are attack, attack, attack.There is only offense in his tactical system, and defense relies on offense.But the difference is that Sparta Prague's midfield is a combination of Gilberto Silva and Senna.

Senna is an all-around midfielder.He is a midfielder who can attack and defend well, and his defensive ability is not weak at all.Compared with Senna, Gilberto Silva is a pure defensive midfielder.He is the kind of player who is simply invisible and ignored in the game.But such a defensive midfielder is the most lethal to Miku and other midfielders.

Although Zeman is an offensive coach, he also came from Italian football. After so many years of coaching, he also has his own defense.He is also very familiar with Ligue [-] teams, so he used Gilberto Silva's man-to-man defense to stare at Micoud.Micoud has been playing in Ligue [-]. Although he is very strong, he is very uncomfortable facing Gilberto Silva's man-to-man defense.

In addition, Senna often helps defend, so Micoud played very awkwardly.Ligue [-] teams generally attach importance to technology, and because they have played midfielders such as Zidane and Micoud, they attach great importance to the tactics of the attacking midfielder.The so-called attacking midfielders are the absolute core of the team, and all offenses are initiated by them.Therefore, when Micoud received a lot of attention, Bordeaux's offense fell into a downturn.

"There is indeed a reason why Sparta Prague eliminated Leeds United. Looking at the offensive ability of Sparta Prague, it is indeed extraordinary."

Zeman's team has always been like this.Even in the face of the strongest opponent, he will not be at a disadvantage on the scene.And now Sparta Prague is not weaker than Bordeaux, and they are still at home.Therefore, the offensive was already in full swing as soon as the game started.So the French commentators are sighing.

"Rist, I didn't expect that. Your Sparta Prague is really good."

After watching it for a while, Trio sighed.I really underestimated Sparta Prague before, but I didn't expect Sparta Prague to be really good.

"Louis, this group is where the two of us can appear."

This is Rist's guess.The big dark horse in this group must be Sparta Prague, because no one pays attention to him.The other place should belong to Bordeaux with good strength.

"I think so."

Although both of them pay attention to their team's performance, it is impossible to have a clear love and hate like a coach.What everyone discussed in the box would definitely not be about one or two games.So Rist changed the subject and said: "Louis, I have many Ivorian players in my hands. Although I dare not say that all the young talents in Ivory Coast are in my hands, I can be sure that the best top talents in Ivory Coast are in my hands." In hand. How about it, do you have any meaning in this regard?"

"Ivory Coast player?"

Trio thought about it.Although there are many purely French players in French football, there are also many descendants of other countries.Because France was also a veteran power back then, and it had many colonies around the world.Many people from those colonial countries came to France and became French.Especially people of African descent are the most numerous.

Côte d'Ivoire is also one of the French colonies, and many descendants of Côte d'Ivoire live in France.And because many people in Côte d'Ivoire can speak French, it is the best choice for Ivorian players to play in France.Coupled with the fact that African players are cheap, Ligue [-] clubs are also willing to accept African players.

"Rist, if you really have an outstanding Ivorian player, of course we will not refuse."

"That's easy. Luis, after a while I'll show you the best Ivorian players I have. I'm sure there must be some players you like."

For the increasing number of Ivorian players in his hands, Rist thought of two channels.One is to send Ivorian players to the Dutch league through his contacts in the Dutch league, including Heerenveen and PSV Eindhoven.The other is to sell to France. After all, it is the best development direction for Ivorian players to join Ligue [-].These are the two most important places for Ivorian players.

It's just that Rist has been busy in the Netherlands and Spain for the past two years, and has never had contact with French football.Therefore, I will take this opportunity to recommend my own players to Bordeaux.At present, the Toure brothers, the Kone brothers, and Eboue, who have been pre-purchased by Riester, are in the hands of Riester. The best way is to gain a foothold in the Belgian league, then train in the Eredivisie and Ligue [-], and finally join the Premier League, La Liga.This is the best development channel.

"Rist, then we've made a deal."

Trio is rich, but not the kind of top rich man.Bordeaux has a limited budget, and it is also a good idea to introduce African players cheaply.

For the two of them, they care more about the cooperation between the two parties, and less about the competition.But just as Rist thought, the current Sparta Prague is not famous, but it is already very good in terms of team strength.

At the end of the first half, Bordeaux had a [-]-[-] lead at home, and Riester knew that there was no big problem in this game.If it weren't for Klose and Barosch's average striker strength, Bordeaux would have been sieved long ago. (To be continued..)
