Chapter Seventy-One: The Hot Derby
When Chu Zhongtian provoked Nancy fans with a "shut up" gesture under the Nancy fan stands, he was also treated in the same way as Berencourt - like a rainy debris.
Even after Chu Zhongtian had just turned around and ran back to hug his teammates, a huge mobile phone smashed down where he had been standing before, and it landed right there...... The teammates pulled Chu Zhongtian back from the danger zone. The Metz fans in the stands kept chanting Chu Zhongtian's surname: "Chu! Clear! Clear! Clear!! "Use this simple way to express your love for Chu Zhongtian.
Although Chu Zhongtian has won the love of Metz fans in the relegation battle, he can score an equalizing goal in the derby, and his status in the hearts of Metz fans will definitely be higher.
β»β»β» "Aha! I knew you could do it, man! "In Metz, Belmont was sitting in the car and dancing, if it wasn't for the flames, I'm afraid the car would have been tossed out by him." Well done! Kill those Nancy mongrels!! β
Like him, the old man Le Goff was swearing, and when Chu Zhongtian blasted the ball into the gate of Nancy, he jumped up from the sofa and scolded Nancy. scared the daughter next to me. Then I saw her father jump in front of the TV and hold the TV, and Chu Zhongtian happened to be in the screen.
The excited old man took a bite on the TV screen.
"I love you to death, Chu!"
Then he got up and followed Chu Zhongtian's example, put his index finger to his mouth, and circled. "Oooo Nancy's little furry boys, shut up, haha! β
Instead of sitting back on the couch, he walked over to the wine cabinet that took up the entire wall, pulled out a bottle of wine, and placed it on the table.
"The prize is ready, Chu. Come and get it! β
β»β»β» "Chu Zhongtian scored his first goal of the season! Like his previous two goals, it was a very crucial goal! His goal in the Lorraine derby helped the team to a draw with Nancy! β
He Ping in the TV began to give Chu Zhongtian all the beautiful words he could think of.
In front of the TV, Chu Zhongtian's father, Chu Zuosheng, raised his arms as usual to cheer for his son's goal. Zhou Xiaoxiang was not as excited as her husband, and she applauded again and again.
β»β»β» "Although this Chinese player has already become famous, I still have to say - the fastest way to become famous is to score in the derby! I believe that Chu has won the unreserved love of all Metz fans, and even if he leaves this team in the future, Metz fans will not forget him! The French narrator of Canal+ said with certainty.
"That's right!"
The Metz fans, who could not go to the stadium and had to stay in Metz and watch the TV broadcast at home, all raised their fists and shouted when they heard this.
There was Belmont and Le Goff...... and he was looking at the high-spirited figure on the TV, and Menez, who was also sitting in front of the TV, did not echo the commentator like the fans. He was abandoned again in this game, and was required to watch the live broadcast of the game and write his experience. This made him particularly depressed. Because Metz was full of injuries before this game, the main left wing-back Oblagnac was suspended for a red card, so it stands to reason that this is a great opportunity for him. But Fernandez would rather take the remnants to play such an important Lorraine derby than give himself a chance.
Menez suddenly wondered if he was right to follow in the footsteps of Coach Fernandez like this...... His train of thoughts was interrupted by the boos of the Nancy fans on the television. He began to refocus his gaze on the television screen.
Tasks aside, it was a fierce and exciting game, worthy of a derby.
And Chu's goal just now...... It seems to be pretty too...... But if it were me, I would have shook off the goalkeeper and then shot!
β»β»β» "Twenty-two minutes into the game, both sides have already scored a goal! A derby in Lorraine! What's next?! β
The expectations of the narrators are also the expectations of the audience. As an audience, I am naturally most looking forward to a game that is full of suspense, and there is no winner or loser until the last second. What's more, this is still the most fierce Lorraine derby, and the requirements are naturally higher.
After the game restarted, Nancy, who was unwilling to be equalized like this, launched a wave of attacks on the goal of the Metz team, and the Metz team had to be on the defensive for a while.
Uruguayan midfielder Sarchician played an important role in Nancy's attack for ten minutes.
Although Nancy's midfield in this game looked like there were only three men, when they attacked, there were as many as five people in the midfield to put pressure on the Metz penalty area.
That's where the flexibility of the 532 formation comes in β a solid 532 when defending, and a more aggressive 352 when attacking. When Brazil won the World Cup in 2002, they had this formation. When defending Robert. Carlos and Cafu are full-backs, and when attacking, the two of them become full-backs, or even wingers, and they are in charge of the side area from their own bottom line to the opponent's bottom line.
So as soon as Sarchisian gets the ball in midfield, whether it is behind him or in front of him, or on both wings, he has teammates to support him. He just had to get the ball out.
Of course, sometimes he will show off his footwork a little, pass one or two people, and perform a few beautiful technical moves.
In the Derby, it worked. Every time he managed to get past a player from Metz, there was a huge cheer from the stands.
As a South American, I really enjoy the cheers.
However, there are also times when he is cut off by a Metz player or violated because he is too sticky with the ball at his feet. At this time, the referee will most likely blow the Metz player for a foul.
It's just that no yellow card has been shown so far.
"Thirty-six minutes into the game, the referee Bruno has yet shown a yellow card to any player on either side, let alone a red card. It's surprising β is this still the hottest Lorraine derby? β
Just as the commentator was complaining, Nancy attacked again, and after a few passes, the ball was passed to the feet of Sarchisian.
There was a Nancy player who ran past Sarchisian, and it was Berencourt.
But instead of passing the ball to his team-mates, the Uruguayan player intended to pass it.
The Nancy fans in the stands were chanting his name and playing with their opponents in such cheers was simply wonderful!
He flicked the ball lightly, made the illusion of a pass to Berencourt, and then suddenly slammed it and changed direction to break through from the other side. Proman, who was shaken by him, misjudged the wrong direction, and when he reflexively went to chase, Sarchisian was already facing Chu Zhongtian.
Seeing Sarchisian facing Chu Zhongtian, the Nancy fans shouted even more happily, and they shouted: "It's over him! Over him! Over him! β
Sarchisian, however, was calm, and he knew the power of this Chinese in the previous fights - he always seemed to be able to predict the direction of my next move, so he had to be cautious.
Just when Chu Zhongtian shocked Sarchisian, Promans chased after him from behind.
Sarchisian knew that Proman ran back, he didn't have time to continue to spend time with Chu Zhongtian here, he had to get rid of Chu Zhongtian as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent's two defensive midfielders would clamp themselves one after the other, but it would be no fun, at most it was a free kick, but now this position is not very good, even if he gets a free kick, there is no threat to Metz's goal.
Sarchisian flicked the ball to the right, looking like he was going to force a breakthrough, Chu Zhongtian's body shook his center of gravity, and he immediately buckled the ball to the right again.
Chu Zhongtian changed direction at the same time as him, and if this trend continued, Chu Zhongtian would stop Sarquisian's ball in a second, and of course he could also be protected by the opponent, which would turn into a foul. But no matter what, this attack of the other party will end in front of Chu Zhongtian!
At this time, Promans saw that Sarchisian in front of him was about to run, how could he let this opponent run away from his eyes?
At this moment, Promans didn't think about anything else, there was only one thought in his mind - bastard boy, stay for me!
He scooped out.
In the next second, Sarchisian stayed in place, and the football rolled in front of Chu Zhongtian with a bounce, and he raised his foot and knocked the football out again, ready to launch a counterattack with the ball.
It was then that he heard the referee's shrill whistle.
Because of inertia, he ran a few more steps with the football before stopping, and then he looked back and saw that Promans had already climbed up, and Sagecien was still lying on the ground, clutching his knees in pain...... "Ah...... Oh my God......" The narrator was also a little distracted, although he had complained that the derby was not intense enough, but when he saw Sarchisian lying on the ground in pain, he didn't mention it.
In the next second, the nearest Nancy player, Berencourt, rushed up, rushed in front of Promans before stopping, and shouted loudly with his head against Promans: "What the are you doing!" β
Players from both sides poured up, some ready to make a move, some persuaded to fight.
The referee signaled for a stretcher to come on, and then blew the whistle vigorously to prevent the two sides from further escalating the conflict.
Although it is not known whether Sarchisian's injury is serious, Chu Zhongtian also rushed in to protect his teammates and helped others stop the Nancy players' attack on Promans. It's normal to take a hit on each other in the chaos and give it to each other.
Then the narrator also became excited: "It's finally here!" This is the hottest Lorraine derby! How can there be fewer player clashes in every Lorraine derby? β
The Nancy fans in the stands saw the clash between the players on both sides and fanned the flames above, scolding the Metz players while cheering on the Nancy players and throwing things down. Another group of extreme Nancy fans targeted the Metz fans. They continued to hit the human wall of three rows of riot policemen like a tidal wave, and they were all pushed back by the cold tempered glass shields.
After finding that there was no way to break through the police blockade, they began to surprise the plastic seats of the home stadium, dismantled them and threw them over, or simply set the seats on fire, and a crowd of people in the stands shouted and cursed around the constantly burning seats emitting toxic gases.
Seeing them like this, after making eye contact, the riot police swarmed up, in groups of three or five, surrounded the football hooligans who didn't have time to run away, and then picked up the batons in their hands and began to smash people. As for the football hooligans who ran away, they attacked the police with everything they could throw in their hands.
"Oooo Idiot cops! You have the ability to come! β
"Don't think we're scared of you, you turtles!"
"Smash them for me! Smash hard! Are you still afraid of the birds, the cops?! β
The group of football hooligans stood behind rows of seats, standing high and constantly throwing their removed seats and other messy debris at the police.
The police, on the other hand, were in a formation with heavily armed armor and rushed upwards, while the policemen from other places were also rushing to surround the group of recalcitrant football hooligans from three different directions.
If nothing else, this fan riot will not last long.
But the battle in the stands still attracted the attention of the televised broadcasters. The director also ignored the conflict on the pitch for the time being, and gave a period of "fierce fighting" in the stands.
"This is the Lorraine derby......" the narrator sighed.
β»β»β» "There was a fan riot in the stands, and the game was temporarily suspended...... Although He Ping learned that the game was very hot from the information, looking at the scene in front of him, he really understood the word "hot" in the information.
Chu Zuosheng and Zhou Xiaoxiang in front of the TV looked at the TV screen dumbfounded.
Zhou Xiaoxiang was even more worried about her son's safety, and kept asking her husband if his son would be okay in this situation, right?
Chu Zuosheng felt that as long as the police protected him properly, his son should have no problem. There have been so many fan riots in the history of football where the players have been largely unharmed, and this time it should be the same.
He cares more about the crowd on the field than the riot in the stands. His son didn't take a few hits for no reason...... β»β»β» Chu Zhongtian was fine, and the fists on him were very light. Soon he broke away from the Nancy players and pulled Proman out of the crowd. Looking back, Ribery was at the front again, and was going toe-to-toe with Belencourt, two heads on top of each other, like two angry bulls.
At this time, there were still some sane people among the players on both sides, and finally succeeded in separating the two sides of the conflict. As the fighting in the stands gradually died down, the conflict on the pitch subsided.
After the players on both sides were separated, it was time to settle accounts after the fall.
The injured player who caused all this, Sarchisian, has been carried off on a stretcher, and it seems that he will not be able to play. Because there are already Nancy players on the sidelines ready to play.
And Promans, who injured Sarquisian, will also face a final judgment.
The referee walked up to him and pulled out a red card from his ass pocket!
"Red card! Gregory. Promans is sent off for a serious foul! His foul caused a clash between players on both sides of the field, and even caused a fan riot in the stands...... "The commentator said this, and the TV camera showed the place in the stands, where the riot took place, the police were arresting the fans who caused the trouble, and the ignited plastic seats continued to burn behind the crowd, and there was a mess in the vicinity, and no one dared to approach.
Fernandez shook his head when he saw Promans being shown a yellow card by the referee. The first half wasn't over yet, and that was one person less. In a derby where anything can happen, one less person can be deadly...... It looks like it's time to adjust the strategy for the next step.
β»β»β» Promans saw the referee showing him a red card, and he was unwilling to run to the referee and complain to him: "I didn't mean to!" β
He initially thought it would be a yellow card at most. How could you have thought that a foul would cause such a serious chain reaction, and the red card would not escape...... "You are clearly a serious deliberate injury!" "The Nancy players are still yelling at him.
Ribery glared back immediately.
The referee ignored Promans' appeal, he motioned for Promans to come off the field, and then turned to look at the players on both sides. He pulled out another yellow card, first to Berencourt and then to Ribery.
Each side of the conflict played 50 boards, and the main offender was sent off.
The decision was unquestionable from a neutral point of view, but it was clearly not satisfactory for both fans. Nancy fans wanted the referee to send Ribery off as well. Metz fans, on the other hand, believe that Berencourt, who provoked the conflict, is the culprit who should be sent off with a red card.
The fans of both sides attacked each other again in the stands, only this time they did not move, but "the gentleman did not move". There are riot police with unkind expressions next to them, and no one dares to do it again.
β»β»β» Promans finally walked off the field, and he couldn't help it if he didn't go.
And Nancy's side with Jonathan. Brisson (jonathan_brison) replaces the injured Sarchisian.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mays' assistant coach David Murphy . CarrΓ© was on the pitch to convey Fernandez's latest instructions: "By the end of the first half, defend! Defend! Do you hear that? Don't let them score!! β
Then he pointed at Chu Zhongtian again: "Chu! Clear! β
Chu Zhongtian heard the coach's shout, and he turned his head to look over.
"Don't attack for a while, retreat to Promins's position! Defend in midfield! β
Chu Zhongtian nodded. At this time, there is a real need to defend, and it is less than ten minutes before the end of the first half anyway.
Any adjustments, Fernandes manager will definitely make at half-time.
Until then, just hold on to the score.
The game resumed after a four-minute hiatus due to clashes. The Metz team, who were missing one man, defended with all their might, and managed to keep the score 1-1 before the end of the first half, without allowing a frantic Nancy to score. For Metz, who are playing away from home, this result is enough to satisfy them even if it is the end of the game.
So when the time came off the field, assistant coach David . CarrΓ© stood on the sidelines and patted every Metz player who walked down on the shoulder, saying "well done" as a compliment.
