Chapter 22: The Killing Machine?

Although the pre-match odds cannot be said to be always correct, otherwise there will be no "upset", but in general, it can still reflect the difference in strength between the two sides. Most bookmakers are not optimistic that Metz can beat Paris Saint-Germain, and there must be a reason for them, they can't set odds specifically to make themselves lose money.

So from the very beginning of the game, the Metz team fell into a passive situation. Paris Saint-Germain have been using the advantage of their home field and the disparity in strength to keep them under pressure, and Ribery's individual efforts are not worth mentioning in an attacking frenzy like PSG, like a sampan that could be smashed to pieces by a wave at any moment in a monstrous wave.

Despite this, he was desperate to find an opportunity to fight back against the Parisians.

Chu Zhongtian, who saw this scene on the bench, felt why he was able to become friends with Ribery? There must be other reasons other than our dressing room being together, we staying in the same room when we go into the game, and our agent is the same person. And the other reason for this is that he and Ribery are the kind of people who don't like to lose and are always looking for victory.

We smell the same, ha!

Chu Zhongtian thought so.

It is a pity that Ribery's efforts to win were poured cold water on his teammates in the 35th minute.

Boom, drenched him into a soup chicken.

In the 35th minute, Mehdi, the defender of Mehdi. Meniri accidentally touched the cross of Paris Saint-Germain Portuguese striker Pauleta (pedro_pauleta) into his own goal during a defense, an own goal!

"Oh...... Oh - Own goal! Too unlucky, Meniri! He scored an own goal! The TV announcer shouted excitedly. He was joined by more than 30,000 PSG fans in the stands at the Parc des Princes, who cheered for their first goal of the game.

On the bench at Metz, everyone hugged their heads in disappointment after seeing Meniri score such an own goal.

"Oh my God...... Poor Mehedi ......"

"Maybe he'll be better off stretching his feet......"

"You can't do it without stretching your feet, he has to make a move in his position, and behind him is Reinaldo (reinaldo_da_cruz_oliveira)!"

"We're unlucky......"

Next door, Paris Saint-Germain's bench and coach's bench were filled with cheers.

Ribery was more active after the restart, but this time he had a tough opponent to deal with.

β€»β€»β€» "Frank. Ribery takes the ball and feints to change direction! Breakthrough! Oh...... Oh! Rorick. Cana (lorik_cana)! It's really ferocious, merciless......"

Ribery, who was tackled to the ground by PSG's No.19, was in some pain, but he quickly got to his feet and did not appear to be injured.

This is not the first time he has been brought down by the opponent's No. 19 in this game.

Chu Zhongtian was very unfamiliar with this No. 19, and he didn't know anything except that he was the back of the office. However, as a midfielder, he is interested in players in the same position. In that Canna, he saw a little bit of his own shadow, but his defense was not as bad as him, because most of the time he was able to use his super anticipation ability to jam the position in advance, avoiding the use of vicious tackles again and again, which could cause injuries to opponents, or allow himself to foul and get a yellow or red card.

But watch this guy tirelessly run, rush, and shovel in the midfield. Chu Zhongtian was a little enthusiastic when he saw it...... Full of the masculine beauty of football.

He really wanted to go up and fight that No. 19.

"Who's that guy?" Chu Zhongtian pointed to Paris Saint-Germain No. 19, who had just put down Ribery and was defending himself to the referee, and asked his teammates next to him.

Striker Elf sat next to him. Toom shrugged: "Royrick. Cana. A difficult midfielder to wrap around, very ferocious defensively. I played against him twice and then I didn't want to go head-to-head with him again. ”

"So powerful?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"The defense isn't really top-notch, but his momentum is ...... Yes, it's momentum. Toom nodded vigorously, "It's so powerful, when you hold a soccer ball and watch him rush towards you, you always think that his target is either your knee or your ankle, and at the worst of all, he will kick and break your leg...... I don't want to play against such a madman. Did you know that he has a nickname that isn't quite official, but it's starting to spread? ”

"What is it?"

"Killing machine." Toom said with a grinning expression.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at the serious Tumu, and thought to himself that Tumu had been slightly injured before this game, could it be because he wanted to avoid this opponent who was so terrible in his mouth?

However, Toom's words did not discourage him from the idea of fighting this person, but only intensified. He looked at the Kana on the field, and his eyes became hotter.

Killing machines?

It sounds like a good name, but that's what I'm here to do in Metz – to play against the best players and experience the excitement of a football game.

Just when Chu Zhongtian was fantasizing about the duel between himself and Kana in his heart, the first half of the game was over.

Tadio stood up and motioned for the substitutes to all warm up, while the main players walked off the field and went straight to Yongdao, where they would spend fifteen minutes in the locker room, maybe Coach Fernandez would make some arrangements, but it had nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian.

He looked depressed when he saw Ribery go down, muttering something as he walked down.

Maybe he was cursing the one who had knocked him to the ground so many times?

Although he was not a player of the same team, Chu Zhongtian felt that if he put himself in the position of Canna, he would make the same move. In order to stop the opponent's attack, any means can be used, even if it is a foul.

Ribery is obviously lacking support, and the pressure is indeed very high when he has to face the number one killing machine in Ligue 1 alone.

Proman is also a good midfielder, but he has invested too little in attack to support Ribery.

Leka, who has always paid attention to his image, was also embarrassed when he came off the field, and the yellow away shirt was all grass green that fell out of the ground, and the big back hair that was combed to the scalp before the game was also completely messed up. Because he was the only one in the double midfielder who wanted to participate in the attack, he stepped forward many times, and naturally became a defensive target for Kanna, who was put four times by Kanna in the half, and Kanna didn't even eat a single yellow card.

Seeing everyone like this, Chu Zhongtian felt that this game was even more difficult to play - we were one goal behind, and the other side still had such a strong midfielder, completely suppressing the attack of the midfield, and I really didn't know how to play in the second half.

As Chu Zhongtian warmed up at halftime, Kang Jianbo, who was far away in China, and the Chinese fans who were waiting in front of the TV like him were very disappointed. Because Chu Zhongtian didn't play, and Metz was still one goal behind, Ribery, who was said to have a good relationship with Chu Zhongtian, didn't show much, and he kept falling to the ground in the forty-five minutes of the game.

On the contrary, the La Liga match between Racing Santander and Real Madrid, which was not broadcast by CCTV 5, was in full swing, scoring two goals in the first half, one on each side. Benayoun opened the scoring for the home team in the 24th minute, and in the 35th minute, Michael opened the scoring for the home team. Owen equalised for Real Madrid.

This made those La Liga fans who couldn't see the live broadcast scold CCTV for being bloody, and Chu Zhongtian was also unlucky.

"MB! What is there to broadcast live in a ** match like Ligue 1? It took forty-five minutes to score a goal! There is no technical content, and the most famous is a second-rate striker like Pauletta! Isn't it all because there is a Chu Zhongtian? In order to take care of the patriotic complex of some people, it is necessary to turn this garbage competition! If you want me to say, that Chu Zhongtian is simply a flash in the pan and a typical example that can't be mixed up at all! It's just that Shit Luck scored two goals in the game against Chelsea, and it was blown to the sky by those stupid media in China! What genius boy? Knock or not? Are they all twenty years old called teenagers? At the age of twenty, I can't even play a team like Mays, and I still have a fart future! Look at his bad appearance, just go back to China and! Wowhaha! Stupid Chu Zhongtian, is it still a big Lin Dan? Are you really a big egg? Take off your pants and let grandpa take a look! ”

This post was posted in the website forum of "We all love Lin Danda", and a post was posted on each page, and the poster's ID is called "Lin Danda is my grandson", and at a glance, I knew that it was a vest that came to make trouble.

Kang Jianbo was annoyed because he didn't see Chu Zhongtian's game, and when he saw this post, he was immediately angry. Seal this ID forever, and then delete all the posts in other sections, and keep the posts in the most popular irrigation section, and then highlight the whole area at the top.

At the bottom of the post, he replied: "Put it at the top, and when Lin Dan's classmates come out in the future, I will whip the corpse again!" ”

β€»β€»β€» The halftime passed quickly, and when Chu Zhongtian walked off the court and finished the warm-up, the main players of both sides had already played. He saw Ribery and called out to him, "Don't get old to the middle, Frank." That number 19 is a midfielder, you're on the wing, he can't stay on the wing, right? ”

Ribery heard his voice, shrugged at him, shook his head and rejected his offer.

Ribery's consideration is like this - his teammates have a big gap in individual ability, even if he is moving on the wing, he needs to finally pass the ball to the middle, but in this game his teammates are all stared at by the opponent, and there is no chance at all. He felt that he had to do it himself at this time. So in any case, in the end, we have to go back to the middle.

Chu Zhongtian saw that Ribery didn't listen to him, and he didn't want to say anything, so he turned around and put on his coat and walked back to the bench.

The second half of the game was similar to the first, with Paris Saint-Germain still pressing Metz. They relied on the excellent play of Canna, and completely controlled the midfield, and Metz's midfield four were not connected at all, so they could only be forced to play alone, and if you played alone, you would face that Canna who seemed to kill you every time you defended.

"What a great player!" The TV commentator exclaimed. "At the age of 20 last season, he was a regular player for a team like Paris Saint-Germain, fierce defensively, fearless, a promising young man!"

"Although Paris Saint-Germain only led by one goal in this game, I don't think they had a problem with taking Metz, who simply couldn't organise an effective attack. Ribery is back in the mire of going it alone...... I admit that this young man has some talent, but he still has a long way to go to become a really good player! ”

Chu Zhongtian was anxious to watch below, but he couldn't help anything.

He didn't know that there were also a group of people in China who were in a hurry because he couldn't play.

"Why hasn't that Fernandez replaced our Lin Danda? Metz's midfield is clearly out of control, and I think it's time for a change! ”

"Metz deserved to lose! It's not necessary to put such a good Lin Dan, what kind of Leka is used, I don't see what he is capable of, he is extremely mediocre in all aspects! ”

"Mediocrity is balance...... Maybe Coach Metz thinks our Lin Danda is not good offensively? ”

"Alas...... Lin Dan is big, Lin Dan is big, how long will it take you to end this bench career? ”

"Everyone, calm down, huh. In fact, our Lin Dan classmates have made progress fast enough. As an amateur player, it's rare to be able to score two goals against Chelsea and then sign for Chelsea after only two years of playing in the amateur league. Now that he's in Metz, he's only trained for four months and is able to play in the top flight of France, which is quite a result. As Chu Zhongtian, who has transformed from an amateur player to a professional player, what he should pursue at present is not the opportunity and time to play, but whether every step forward is stable and reliable......

"Well said! But I still want to watch Lin Danda's game......"

β€»β€»β€» After Leka got the ball on the field, he decided to rush forward, and the team was always pressed and beaten, and it was not a way.

He dribbled away from Reinaldo, who came up to intercept him, and Ribery saw him in front of him take the ball and start looking for the run, waiting for Leka to pass the ball to him. It's a great opportunity, and that Kana isn't on his side...... Instead of defending Ribery, Cana appeared on Leka's flank. Like a lion staring at his prey, he ran after the prey at first, driving them to his preset position, and then violently exerting force!

When Cana saw that Leka was about to turn, he jerked out and fell to the ground!

He tackled the ball with his right foot, followed by his left foot, which was dragging behind, rushing up with inertia and sandwiching Leka's legs between his legs...... Leka was cut down like a tree, and the ball bounced to the feet of Ribery, who was about to attack when he heard the referee's whistle.

He looked back to see his teammate Leka lying on the ground, clutching his ankle in pain and rolling over.

"Hell......" he cursed in a low voice. He knew Leka was finished.

At the same time, on the bench of the Metz team, all the players also covered their mouths, a little unbearable to watch that scene. Leka was wounded, and certainly not lightly - both men were running at high speed, and Canna's movement was so powerful by inertia that Leka's feet were pinned under him, almost deformed.

"Chu! Clear! "Assistant Coach David. CarrΓ© suddenly rushed over and hooked his hand at Chu Zhongtian. "Go warm up!"

Chu Zhongtian knew that his opportunity had come, although he was a little sorry for Leka...... But this opportunity he has to seize no matter what!

He took off his coat, put on his yellow vest and ran to the warm-up area, where he began to warm up intently.

On the pitch, the referee showed a yellow card to the foul Khanna, who innocently pointed at himself and said to the referee: "I tackled the ball first!" I made the first tackle...... It hurts, it's because I can't stop...... We couldn't stop either of us......"

The referee didn't listen to his explanation, and after noting down his name, he turned around and motioned for the stretcher to come on. At the same time, from the moment of the accident, he ran up and squatted next to Leka Captain Stefan. Bobigconi stood up and made a substitution gesture to the court. Leka couldn't hold on anymore.

In fact, Fernandes had already made the decision to make a substitution from the time Leka fell to the ground.

The stretcher and the team doctor quickly came on the pitch and carried Leka off the pitch after a brief treatment.

Seeing Leka being replaced, the live broadcast immediately aimed the camera at the warm-up area on the sidelines, and happened to shoot Chu Zhongtian who was warming up.

In China, the CCTV commentator was surprised to see this scene and exclaimed: "Huh? Chu Zhongtian? Is it Chu Zhongtian? That's right! It's Chu Zhongtian! He's warming up! Gregory was carried off the field because of an injury. Leka is a midfielder, and Chu Zhongtian is also a midfielder, it seems that he is very hopeful to replace the injured Leka in this game! I believe that many Chinese fans who are still staying up late in front of the TV at this time must be in spirit! Ha ha! ”

He was right, seeing Chu Zhongtian who was warming up in the camera, Kang Jianbo and his friends were excited.

"Oooo What do I see? It's Lin Danda! ”

"Is Lin Dan going to play?"

"Warming up!"

"That No. 22 is injured, and it looks like it's going to work......"

"No, it can't work! If he can do it, how can our Lin Dan University classmates play? ”

"It's best to stay injured until the end of the season, so that our Lin Dan classmates can always start, haha!"

"Ahem...... How can you say that it is also on the same team as Chu Zhongtian, don't be like this, okay? ”

"Okay then...... The injury was healed for a month. Lin Dan University, you must fight for some strength this month, firmly hold this position, and prove your strength to that teaching assistant! ”

Chu Zuosheng, who was watching his son's game in front of the TV, saw his son appear in the camera, and quickly shook his wife Zhou Xiaoxiang, who was already sleeping on the sofa with his head tilted.

"Hey, hey, get up! It's up! Look at our son! ”

Zhou Xiaoxiang opened her eyes in a daze, and the TV screen just cut back to the scene where Leka was injured, she didn't see her son, and complained: "Where is it?" ”

"A moment, a moment. You go and wash your face with cold water. When I came back, I was almost able to see it. "Chu Zuosheng is an old fan, the meaning of this shot couldn't be more obvious, how could he not see it? That No. 22 of Metz was injured, and the only person who could replace him was his son, who was in the same position.

Zhou Xiaoxiang stood up in disbelief, and then moved to the bathroom. Soon, there was the sound of rushing water. Zhou Xiaoxiang, who had washed her cold face, returned to the living room in good spirits and saw her husband staring at the TV screen intently.

"How's it going? Did you play? She asked.

"Right now, right now...... See! Chu Zuosheng pointed to the TV screen and said loudly.

Zhou Xiaoxiang followed and looked over, and saw his son's back appear in the middle of the screen. He was standing with an old foreign man, who seemed to be saying something to him, and he kept nodding his head.

β€»β€»β€»Chu Zhongtian was called to the sidelines by Fernandez, ready to accept the last advice before going on the court.

"Chu, you used to play as a central midfielder at Wimbledon, and you were responsible for organizing the attack, right?" Fernandez stared at Chu Zhongtian and asked.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at the court and nodded to answer the head coach's question: "Yes, sir." ”

"It's good, Gregory is a midfielder, but I've always asked him to play both offensively and defensively. Since you have taken his place, you have to take over his work. Defending and organising our offense at the right time, can you do that? ”

Hearing Fernandez's words, Chu Zhongtian retracted his gaze, and he looked at the old coach who was over fifty years old. "I'm willing to give it a try, sir."

Fernandez nodded in satisfaction. "When you come on the pitch, pay attention to their number 19, it's a very tough defender. I don't want to have a stretcher and the team doctor go up and carry you down in five minutes, you know? ”

"I know, sir."

The manager meant to let him avoid the opponent as much as possible, but how could he avoid it? And Chu Zhongtian is still eager to take the initiative to find that No. 19 Kana in his heart.

Although he didn't foul much, he never thought he was soft. Now against an equally tough midfielder, the aggressive heart immediately burns, wanting to compete with the opposition. And he also tackled his teammates, so he should find that Kanna's bad luck in both public and private life.

"Let's play, Chu." Fernandez patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and signaled that he could go to the fourth official to report.

When Chu Zhongtian walked next to the fourth official, the fourth official had already raised a sign, signaling that the Mace team was going to be replaced. No. 22 Leka down, No. 30 Chuzhong heaven.

β€»β€»β€» "Chu Zhongtian is on the field!" Kang Jianbo excitedly posted this sentence in the QQ group.

"On the 30th! Chu Zhongtian is finally on the field! In such a game, he was given thirty-five minutes of playing time! This is the longest playing time he has ever had since joining Metz on loan, so let's wish him a great performance! The CCTV commentator shouted excitedly.

In fact, the level of Ligue 1 is not high, there are no stars, and the ratings have not been high, and the people who come to explain French League 1 will not be the most well-known commentators of CCTV, but some intern commentators, who need to hone their level in this kind of game broadcast that no one watches, relieve pressure, and then gradually face the commentary work of the World Series.

He Ping, the commentator who only entered CCTV in 2002, is such a person, he has only been in CCTV for two years, and the road to commentary starts from the interpretation of French League 1 games, and CCTV's French broadcast is usually arranged after Serie A, Bundesliga, and before La Liga. A few months ago, Chu Zhongtian joined Metz, which set off a wave of Ligue 1 fever in China, but it was later found that Chu Zhongtian couldn't even play in Metz, and the craze quickly subsided. The current Ligue 1 is still what my grandmother doesn't love and my uncle doesn't love, and he is exercising his commentary level alone in such a game.

Hearing He Ping's voice, Chu Zuosheng and Zhou Xiaoxiang, who were in front of the TV, both raised their arms and cheered.

CCTV switches to Ligue 1 every weekend, but it doesn't necessarily turn to Metz's game every weekend, and it doesn't see his son get the opportunity to play every weekend.

Now that they can see their son on the pitch wearing Metz's number 30 jersey, both of them can't hide their excitement.

Even Zhou Xiaoxiang, who usually never watches football, is worth staying up all night this night...... "Killing Machine" is really a very handsome nickname, but unfortunately it is not so similar to Chu Zhongtian's playing style, otherwise it must be given to Chu Zhongtian!

Now it is only possible to respect the facts to let Rorick. Cana continued to be exclusive. In addition, it is recommended that you go to the Youku website to search for lorik_cana, there is a video highlight of him playing in Marseille, all of which are fierce defensive moves, which look very exciting and enjoyable!

You can also feel why this guy, who later became known as "the No. 1 killing machine in Ligue 1", has such a nickname.

Ligue 1 is really a league with a midfielder......
