He Ping was nagging to the TV audience about how powerful Leon was, and how difficult it was for Mace to get a point, at this time, Chu Zhongtian with the ball appeared on the TV screen, he looked up at the front, and directly pushed the football out.

All the TV viewers saw his pass penetrate the Lyon backline, between Essien and Revier, and was not hindered in any way!

"Look at this ball......" He Ping hurriedly stopped his introduction, staring at the TV screen in front of him without blinking.

From the current angle, they couldn't see the use of the ball because there was no one there. Just when many people thought that Chu Zhongtian was in a hurry, a red figure suddenly inserted diagonally into the forbidden area and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Beautiful! Pretty!! Ribery! He Ping exclaimed.

The rest of the story is simple, Ribery receives the ball, then adjusts his direction and shoots with his foot. Although it was a round thigh, the shot was a fluttering ball that bypassed goalkeeper Kupe and returning defender Chris, and fell into the empty goal behind them.

"Nice fit! Chu Zhongtian's corner kick was like a scalpel, directly cutting through Lyon's backline! ”

Chu Zuosheng watched the football enter the door, raised his hand, and then screamed, startling his wife next to him.

"That's why I said the fans are crazy......" she muttered. But I'm also happy about my son's performance.

Most Lyon fans didn't expect their team to concede at home first, while a small number of Metz fans didn't expect their team to score a goal after 30 minutes of being pressed by their opponents.

Ribery's cry was so clear on the television that he ran to the corner flag and yelled at the camera: "It's a greeting, Leon!" Aha! ”

Then he turned around and pointed to Chu Zhongtian, who was still in front of the penalty area: "Come on, man, this is your assist!" ”

Metz's players swarmed him and surrounded him.

At this time, there was a clamor in the stands, with the Metz fans celebrating the goal and the Lyon fans yelling angrily: "Don't rejoice too early!!" There were also people who booed the referee dissatisfied, because Chu Zhongtian tackled Juninho before launching the attack and snatched the ball from the feet of the Brazilian, but the referee didn't say anything, allowing Metz to complete the attack, and the players of Lyon didn't expect the referee to blow the foul and didn't react in time.

Coach Fernandez saw the ball go in, got up from his seat, threw his arms high, and rushed out. After a spin he came back to assistant coach David. Carré laughed, "How's that?" This ball? ”

Carré was also very happy: "Good! It's exciting! ”

He also did not expect his team to be able to lead Ligue 1 giants Lyon at the Stade Gerland.

Fernández smiled even wider.

The coach's box and bench of the visiting team Metz were jubilant, while the coach of the home team Lyon, Leguin, was very angry at the goal, in his opinion, this attack of Metz was a complete foul and should not have existed at all!

He roared at the fourth official: "That steal was a foul, can't you guys see it?!" ”

The fourth official just shrugged his shoulders at him, and listened to the referee on duty in the game, even if the fourth official could only play the role of game supervision, and had no right to interfere with the referee's decision, even if the referee really made a bad decision, he could only write it into the game report and submit it to the referee committee, and they would make a decision.

Lyon's players and their manager were on the same page, and when they realized they had conceded the goal, they ran to the referee and surrounded him for an explanation.

"That's clearly a foul!" Striker Fry pointed to Chu Zhongtian, who was celebrating a goal with Ribery, and said, "That kid tackled Juninho!" ”

"Ribery is offside!" Essien said this to the referee, in fact, he did not know if Ribery was actually offside, but he wanted to say this to put pressure on the referee.

The referee pointed to his eyes and said to a group of noisy Lyon players: "All right, gentlemen. My eyes were clear, I was sure it wasn't a foul or an offside, the goal worked! ”

"What the are you......" Govu opened his mouth and burst into a foul mouth, but he was quickly pulled out by Captain Juninho.

Despite this, the referee, who had already heard his foul language, chased him out and showed a yellow card to Govu!

His decision drew boos from the stands at the Terrain Stadium again. But it was a good shock to the players of Lyon.

This group of Lyon players have won three consecutive leagues in Ligue 1 and are used to contempt for everything on the pitch, whether it is the opposition players or the referee. Unfortunately, the referee was not afraid of them, and he pointed at Govu and said to him very harshly: "Keep your mouth shut, boy! Don't think that this is your home turf and you can do whatever you want! Don't try to interfere with my work! ”

Juninho had to step in to play the round, pushing Govu aside before explaining to the referee: "He was just impulsive, absolutely not offending you...... But I did get knocked down by the other party's number 30. ”

"He tackled the ball first, and you two just collided together, so it's not a foul." The referee explained to Juninho while writing down the yellow card in his notebook.

"The Lyon players had a problem with the goal, but from my point of view, it was a clean attack. Metz's No. 30 was clean when he tackled Juninho, and when he passed the ball, Ribery was not offside. "This French commentator finally said a good word about Chu Zhongtian.

"Lyon paid the price for their carelessness. They've only lost once in the league this season, do they think they're invincible? What's the benefit of conceding a ball and protesting to the referee instead of thinking about how to defend it? They're all professionals, and it's so self-righteous to make such a low-level mistake. ”

The narrator was also merciless in his criticism of Leon.

The Metz players, who had finished their celebrations, ran back to their own half one after another, and Ribery put his arms around Chu Zhongtian and ran back side by side.

"It's beautiful, Chu!" Ribery gave him a thumbs up.

"You're a pretty runner, Frank."

The two of them flattered each other and then laughed together.

It is indeed a joy to be able to contribute to Lyon's home goal.

After Metz's players were in place, Fernandez asked assistant coach David Fernandes. Carré shouted a warning to his players to be defensive and beware of Lyon's counter-attack.

Therefore, the tone for the rest of the first half was that Metz was stubbornly defending and Lyon was attacking.

Chu Zhongtian continued to keep an eye on Juninho, not leaving an inch, and decisively defended around the front many times, and the effect was very good. In terms of flexibility, Juninho is not as good as Chu Zhongtian, and his explosiveness is not as good as Chu Zhongtian, so he has repeatedly let Chu Zhongtian go around the front defense and break the ball.

Chu Zhongtian's proactive defensive strategy is entirely because his physical fitness is better than that of the thirty-year-old Juninho, and he can succeed repeatedly. Many times, even if Juninho wanted to prevent Chu Zhongtian from doing this, it was because the strength of the leg kick was too small, and his heart was not enough.

With Juninho contained, Lyon's attacking threat was at least half less.

In this way, at the end of the first half, the Lyon players walked off the pitch with a score of 0:1, and the Ligue 1 hegemons had to bow their proud heads.

'Lyon certainly weren't willing to accept a defeat at home and there was something to watch in the second half.' The French commentator said expectantly.

Fernandez stood on the sidelines, and every Metz player who came off the pitch would be encouraged and praised by him. When Chu Zhongtian walked off the field, Fernandez slapped him on the shoulder more, "Good job, Chu." I didn't let you attack, but as a player, sometimes you just have to judge and act on the pitch. This is especially true as a midfielder who needs to attack as well as defend. ”

Chu Zhongtian was praised by the head coach, and he was even happier in his heart, and he was full of fighting spirit for the second half.

In the dressing room, Metz's players were still excited about the first half-time lead, and Fernandes wasn't worried about them getting too excited, because after taking the lead, the players withstood Lyon's attack, which showed that their mentality had not changed.

So Fernandes didn't sink his face to criticize the players for getting carried away.

He waited for everyone to talk about it before he summed up the team's performance in the first half: "You did a good job, but that goal was a bonus, and in the second half we continued to follow the counter-attacking tactics and focus on defense. Clear. ”

Chu Zhongtian straightened his waist.

'Lyon will definitely make some changes in the second half, you defended against Juninho in the first half and you were successful in the first half, but in the second half I don't think it will be so easy again, Juninho will probably change positions a lot and the referee will probably give them more set-pieces. If Juninho has his back to the attack, he can pass as much as he wants, but don't let him pass the ball in the right direction. Do you understand? Fernandez said.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Understood, sir." ”

Although Löguin was angry with the referee after Metz's goal, at half-time he criticized his players, believing that the team's performance before conceding the goal was too amateurish.

"You shouldn't have been entangled with the referee at that time! Rather, you should think about how to defend first! ”

"We could have avoided conceding that goal!"

"Well, now we're going to be a catch-up in the second half!"

"But it's not a big deal, let's see how to deal with them in the second half......"

Löguin then asked Juninho how he felt about the defense of the Metz number 30, and Juninho honestly replied that the number 30 was difficult to deal with.

"He's flexible, he's explosive, he's physical, and it's hard for general skill to get past him."

Leguin thought for a moment, then said to Juninho: "You don't need to get past him, just open up a little space enough for you to pass the ball." In addition, he defends so aggressively, there will be a lot of foul opportunities, induce him to do it, and then get more free kicks, and then you will know what to do. Roguin smiled.

Juninho nodded.

※※※ There was a fifteen-minute intermission, and Zhou Xiaoxiang was not interested in those advertisements and boring halftime comments at all, and she fell asleep on the sofa as soon as she tilted her body.

Chu Zuosheng heard his wife suddenly snoring, only to find that she was asleep. So he took out a quilt from the bedroom and put it on his wife. Then he sat down next to his wife, wondering whether to wake her up at the start of the second half...... When the game restarted in the second half, Chu Zuosheng thought about it, turned down the sound of the TV, and did not wake up his wife, but gently straightened his wife's body and let her sleep on the sofa, while he moved a chair and sat on the side to watch TV attentively.

My wife actually doesn't know football at all, and she hasn't made much progress after watching so many games. She watched the game purely because she missed her son, and the game was the only opportunity to see her son. He, the fan father, watched the game, while his wife watched not the game, but the son.

※※※After the start of the second half, Juninho's range of movement was greater, and he did not try to avoid physical contact as Chu Zhongtian thought, but tried to turn around many times. Sometimes Chu Zhongtian can cut off the ball smoothly, and sometimes as long as Juninho turns around, he stretches his foot, and Juninho falls to the ground, he will hear the referee's whistle.

Ten minutes into the second half, he gave Lyon three free-kicks.

Although Juninho has not scored a penalty yet, who knows if the next one will score?

You must know that Juninho is a strong man who can take free kicks as penalties.

If you are afraid of fouling, you must pay attention to your movements, which will increase the chance of the opponent breaking through.

He could use all kinds of means to prevent Juninho from breaking through or organizing an attack, but he couldn't stop him from taking a free kick.

It's a dilemma...... Juninho broke through the middle with the ball this time, and met Chu Zhongtian when he had just run through the middle circle. Chu Zhongtian was waiting for him to make a feint, but he didn't expect Juninho to directly flick the ball to the right and accelerate the breakthrough!

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment and turned to catch up, but Juninho had already stuck the best position, he could only run behind, and if he wanted to break the ball, he would definitely foul.

Is it a foul or no foul at this time?

Chu Zhongtian quickly estimated in his mind how far away from the goal was here, about thirty meters, it should be safe to foul here, right?

Having made up his mind, Chu Zhongtian put one hand on Juninho's neck, and then pushed it down hard, stumbling under his feet, and Juninho fell headlong like this.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and this time he not only gave Lyon a free kick, but also showed Chu Zhongtian a yellow card.

Chu Zhongtian did not argue and accepted the result.

Lyon won a free-kick.

The distance of the free kick was played on the television screen - 35.3 metres.

"It's a long distance, and it's wise for Chu Zhongtian to choose to foul here, because Juninho Jr. is a master of free kicks, and if he reaches thirty meters, he will be considered to have entered Juninho's range." He Ping appreciated Chu Zhongtian's decisiveness.

Chu Zhongtian retreated, and Ribery and other teammates lined up the wall in the first phase.

Juninho put the football on the ground and did not rush out, but waited patiently for Metz to build a human wall.

When they put up the wall, the referee signaled that Juninho was ready to kick.

Chu Zhongtian stood in the human wall, staring at the Brazilian opposite. It wasn't the first time he'd seen Juninho take a free-kick in today's game, having blotted it out on the first few occasions. Another time it hit a human wall, and it hit him right in the chest, and it suffocated his breath at that time, as if it was not a 290-gram football in the chest, but a piledriver...... As he recounted his previous experience, a thought suddenly crossed his mind - Juninho's free-kick was powerful...... Thirty-five meters may also be considered range for him?

His heart pounded.

It was at this moment that he heard the referee's whistle.

Juninho in his field of vision to run, kick the ball!

The soccer ball flew high and he and his teammates jumped to increase the height of the wall, but the soccer ball still flew over their heads with ease.

Chu Zhongtian's eyes kept chasing the football, and the football passed over his head, and he turned his head to look back.

He saw that the height of the football was still very high after it crossed the human wall, and if it flew down this trajectory, the football would eventually fly directly out of the bottom line 100%.

Metz's goalkeeper Umbi jumped high and pounced on the ball, but even if he was in the air and stretched out his arms, he couldn't reach the ball, because the ball was still very high.

But just when Chu Zhongtian landed, he saw that the football also fell suddenly!

Or when the football passed the hand of goalkeeper Wenbi, it fell headlong and fell straight into the dead corner like a dive bomber!

"Júni Juni! Jonny! Júni-Neo!! The French narrator yelled excitedly. This amazing Brazilian has given us his best stunt! A direct free kick 35.3 meters from the goal was like a penalty for him! Wonderful! ”

Chu Zhongtian looked at the football that fell to the ground, and his first thought was: "Damn, let him score the goal...... It's amazing! ”

His thoughts were quickly drowned out by the loud cheers of the Gerland Stadium, and he rushed into the corner of nowhere.

"The Lyon fans at the Stade Gerrand are used to the scene: when Juninho stands in front of the ball and is ready to take a free-kick, they all get up from their seats and are ready to cheer!"

"Juninho!!" Fans chanted the name of the goalscorer. Lyon's president, Olas, was also thrilled in the stands, first of all because it was a beautiful super free-kick, and secondly because his side equalised and finally had to endure the humiliation of falling behind Metz.

Löguin burst out of the court, shaking his fists vigorously as he let out a sigh of relief.

Fernandez, on the other hand, shook his head, helpless. He can't really be blamed on his players for scoring from 35 metres.

"We're going to change tactics, David." He said to the assistant coach next to him.

"All on the defensive?" Carré asked.

Fernandez's answer startled him.

"No, we're attacking."
