Chapter 134: The Second Round of the Decisive Battle
Tottenham must not have imagined that Metz would become like this in the second half:
Berbatov turned and hit goal, but the ball was shot at defender Traore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info when soccer balls
When he came out and landed at Robbie Keane's feet, he adjusted slightly, and then looked up, and Chu Zhongtian and Yayiovi surrounded him. After struggling for a few seconds, Keane lost possession.
Jayovi stabbed the football, and Chu Zhongtian turned to chase Tottenham's Malbranke
also went to rob the obedient, but Chu Zhongtian used a flying shovel in advance to shovel the football away from Malbranck.
The football was shoveled to the side by Chu Zhongtian, and after Ribery received the ball, he made a combination with the fullback Ibrahim Kabo who came in to pick him up, and he passed the football back to Cabo and then himself
He had run high forward, and Cabo passed another overhead ball for Ribery to chase.
The football fell to Chu Zhongtian's feet, and he stopped the ball. Ibisevic saw him receive the ball and cut forward, while Menez was pulling at the wing, and the Tottenham defenders thought Chu Zhongtian would pass a through ball, as he used to do, so they all reflexed
Step back. And Chu Zhongtian also unceremoniously used such a little space and time to draw his feet
Shoot!
The soccer ball whistled towards the goal
Fortunately, Tottenham's goalkeeper Paul Robinson has been very focused before, and when he sees his defenders retreating, he knows that the opposing player's player will shoot from a distance, and no one in the defender stepped forward to force but retreated, isn't it obvious to let the opponent shoot?
So when he saw Chu Zhongtian shooting, he made a save and successfully hit the ball on the bottom line.
"Oh! Nice offense! Although he didn't score, Chu's long-range shot was still very threatening! ”
"Judging from the five or six minutes of the second half, the performance of the Chu and Metz teams was the same as in the first half...... Speaking of which, the performance of Metz in the first half was really terrible! This is the same Mace that used to be! "The French commentator had a weakness throughout the first half
As he said, "Metz's performance is terrible", he has been worried that the French team will all say goodbye to Europe after this game, losing to O:2 at home and hoping for a comeback on the road?
But now Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot is like a shot in the arm to bring him back to life!
"It's like there's a play in the second half for 45 minutes!"
※※※
Seeing Chu Zhongtian's performance, head coach Fernandez smiled on the sidelines.
But he gradually settled down. He does fear that the team will be eliminated early at home, and if the performance of Metz in the second half is nothing good, then this season
They will have to fight hard in the league to qualify for Europe at the end. It's just that now the Ligue 1 teams are relieved from European competition except for Metz, and they can concentrate on the domestic competition, and it will become more and more difficult to maintain good results in the league
After smiling, Fernandez walked to the sidelines and shouted, "Chu! Clear! ”
Chu Zhongtian heard the head coach calling him, so he turned his gaze over.
Fernandez gestured to him, interspersed more runs, continued to cut forward aggressively, and didn't care too much about the defense. He saw that Tottenham didn't react, and it was Mez's chance.
At this time, Tottenham's counterattack could not be organized at all, and it was necessary to take advantage of the continuous pressure when they did not react, and finally complete the goal.
Chu Zhongtian nodded, indicating that he understood what the head coach meant, which was to strike while the iron was hot.
Before Tottenham could react to what was going on, a decisive onslaught!
※※※
In the next game, Chu Zhongtian returned to normal, he ran actively, took the initiative to reach out for the ball, and then kept passing the ball to teammates in better positions, and ran to the next position to prepare to meet his teammates.
The French commentator sighed: "This is the Chu we are familiar with!" ”
The England commentator began to complain that Tottenham were not keeping an eye on the heart of Metz's midfield:
"How can you let that Chu take the ball so easily? He turns, dribbles, and passes...... Not a single Tottenham player went up to defend for ten seconds! How did Joel set up before the game? Hadn't he studied the video of Mace's game before, and didn't know that their yachoo was Mace's brain? ”
Martin Joel would have cried out for himself if he could have heard the narrator's words. Of course, before the game, he arranged a marking strategy against Chu Zhongtian, the core of Mace, but Chu Zhongtian was in the first half
The performance of the field was very abnormal, and it was completely self-defeating, and the things he arranged did not come in handy at all. The players themselves let their guard down and now it was very difficult to suddenly tighten up in the second half.
He could also see that Metz suddenly looked like a different team in the second half, but he didn't have a good idea of how to stop their increasingly crazy performance.
Tottenham's players were even more uncomfortable with the momentum shown by Metz, and when Bonda passed the ball back to goalkeeper Paul Robinson, Ibisevic still ran wildly to chase the ball from Robinson's feet and shoot into the empty net
Force.
Originally, Robinson was going to adjust and then observe the positions of the players in front of them to decide what to do with the ball. Is it a short pass to Qi Ji Bonda who is ready to pick him up, or is it just a big foot to the front......
Now that Ibishevic is forcing him, he can't care about any plans, and directly kicks the football out with a big kick. As a result, he kicked the football crookedly and flew straight out of the sideline.
The stands at the Holy Mountain Forrien Stadium burst into gloating laughter from the Metz fans. The team's performance in the second half also restored their confidence to the point where they had the leisure to tease the opposition goalkeeper.
This is the epitome of the role swap between Metz and Tottenham in the second half, but Tottenham forced Metz so hard that he was overwhelmed.
※※※
In the 55th minute, Metz's continuous attack finally broke through the Tottenham defence.
Chu Zhongtian made a gesture at the edge of the penalty area to shoot from a distance, taking advantage of the opposing player Edgar Davis
When he made the gunhole pose, he gave the football to Mene in the ribs
Zmenez didn't shoot directly, but passed the ball again, this time with Ibisevic who followed up in the middle!
Ibisevic pushed the ball sideways and rolled past Robinson's fingertips and into the net
Nest......
"Hooray!!"
The Holy Mountain Furien Stadium resounded with a mountain of cheers, and the home fans had waited too long for this moment......
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Ibisevic! Ibisevic scored again! It was Lee's fifth goal in the UEFA Cup! He's in perfect shape right now!! ”
The French commentator roared with vigour, and Metz pulled a goal back to revive his hopes of remaining in the UEFA Cup.
The honor and dignity of French football are all pinned on this team, and if they also fall, then those outside have even more reason to laugh at the weak French football. "Look at your broken league! In addition to setting a record for Lyon, there is no other price to exist
Value? You're almost down to the same Dutch league you used to be! What's the value of being poached by big clubs in the big four leagues other than to train young people?! ”
As a French footballer, who would want to be ridiculed like that?
So Metz is the last hope of French football, and it can't fall in any way, at least in this humiliating way.
Ibjinkic had no intention of celebrating, he rushed into the net, picked up the football, and then waved to everyone before running towards the middle.
Chu Zhongtian didn't mean to celebrate, he grabbed Ribery, who was about to hug Ibisevic: "It's too early to celebrate, we're still at least one goal away!" ”
Ibisevic slammed the ball on the kick-off to kick off Metz's counter-attack.
In the ensuing game, a flurry of attacks from Metz left Tottenham struggling to cope. Later, Joel replaced defensive midfielder Edgar Davis with attacking midfielder Danny Murphy in hopes of stepping up the attack and salvaging the situation.
But it didn't work.
He made a stunt substitution. At such times, it would have been wise to bring in an attacking midfielder to regain control of the midfield, but he made the opposite substitution.
So after Murphy came on the field, he squeezed Malbranck's position, and the French midfielder, who could attack the left, center and right, could only run to the wing, and no matter where he went, it would cause congestion there. He went to the right and Lennon huddled together and went to the right to put Jenas
Squeezed into the middle lane. Jenas, who went to the middle, overlapped with Murphy......
In short, this substitution not only did not make Tottenham's midfield functional, but was chaotic because of the crowding.
This made Chu Zhongtian and other midfielders like fish in water in the midfield, and after losing the only midfielder who could defend, Davies, Tottenham's midfielders could no longer stop Chu Zhongtian and his teammates.
Finally, in the 79th minute, Metz scored their second goal to tie the aggregate score at 2:2!
At that time, he passed the ball to Ribery, and Ribery performed his personal breakthrough with ease, breaking through the South Korean Lee Young-yee, the South Korean left-back was almost useless except to run, and Ribery passed countless times in the second half, this time finally deadly.
Franck Franck Ribery, who burst into the box, stabbed the ball under Robinson's armpit before losing his balance when goalkeeper Robinson blocked it in front of him and then defender Li Rongfei pulled him in pursuit......
"Frank Ribery! Ribery! Ribery one by one Ribery!! "The French commentator went crazy, and it was a miracle that Metz was able to equalise when he was two goals down." Beautiful goal! In front of his dexterous breakthrough, the Koreans are like a wooden stake! ”
Franck Franck Ribery, who scored, still did not celebrate, as did Ibisevic in the open scoring
Michael Dawson, who was in his way, pushed away and tried to snatch the football in the hands of another centre-back, Ledley King.
Ledley King, on the other hand, has a lot of experience and knows they can't afford to buy time for Mez, otherwise with their current momentum, it is entirely possible to continue scoring goals before the end of the game. So he used his body to protect the football in his arms.
Ribery grabbed King's jersey before he could do so, and the two sides tore and tangled in one
and quickly caught the attention of others.
Both players rushed up and the Metz players wanted to take the ball, while the Tottenham players couldn't let the opposition take the ball away so easily.
At this time, Chu Zhongtian rushed up, he didn't say a word, pushed down the big black man Ledley King, and then snatched the football from him!
His actions caused displeasure among the Tottenham players, and the opposing players argued.
"See what he's doing?"
"It's pushing people!"
"Ouch," he hit me in the face, he hit me on the head...... "Ledley King lay on the ground, rolling around in pain, moaning in pain, hoping to get more attention. But his voice had long been drowned out by the angry scolding of the players on both sides.
"Do you have sportsmanship? Such an obvious hit! "Although French
Facing the team of his own country, but each of them is the master, so that Malbranque, the Frenchman, also denounces the team of his own country.
"Who the hell is *** unsportsmanlike? We're going to kick off quickly, and you're going to interfere with us in this way! Ribery scolded. You inside and out! ”
Seeing that the war of words between the two sides was about to escalate into a full-fledged martial arts, fortunately, the referee arrived in time at this time to prevent the conflict from further expanding.
"Yes gentlemen! Stop arguing! Stop arguing! The referee blew the whistle and comforted the emotional players. He had seen a lot of this scene in Spain, and he coped with this scene very well
Hand.
He didn't choose to play cards crazy to suppress the emotions of both sides, but called the captains of the two sides together again, which happened to be the two protagonists who caused the conflict, Chu Zhongtian and Ledley King.
Chu Zhongtian was still holding a football in his hand when he was called over.
"I hope you two captains will lead by example for your team-mates
role model. Keep your emotions in check, I don't like decks to settle disputes, but if you're one
I don't mind if you force me to do it. Does anyone want to miss the next leg? Just challenge the limits of my patience. ”
After the referee said these words with a majestic expression, he let the two shake hands and make peace.
"It's no big deal, everyone shake hands together, and the game continues!"
Chu Zhongtian and Ledley Kim glanced at each other, and then a smile appeared on each other's faces, and then Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand first, Ledley Kim took it, and after the two shook hands, they also patted each other's shoulders or heads.
Football is more than such a momentary impulse because of the adrenaline rush in that moment
But when the impulse passes, there is no need to hold on to it all the time. On the field are enemies
Off the field are friends.
The clash was a minor episode in the game, with both coaches making substitutions in the ensuing match. Fernandes naturally brought on attacking players to step up the attack. Joel, on the other hand, switched on a defensive player and was going to hold for a draw, and now he has finally reacted and been unbeaten with two goals away from home..."Why do you need to strengthen your attack?
The substitutions of both sides came when the game restarted, because of this rush from both sides
Stoppage time is a bit long, and there will be about 15 minutes of stoppage time.
And in these fifteen minutes, the whole Tottenham team has only one goal, and that is to defend it
At the end of the game, as long as they heard the referee blow three whistles, they were liberated, otherwise they could not relax for a second.
What a great result to be able to get two away goals and come home 2-2"
And for Metz, the score was a complete failure. Although they were in the second half
It's been a lot of hard work and it's been a great achievement to pull two goals back, but if you can't score another goal or score more, the effort in the second half will be insignificant.
When playing Benfica, at least Benfica scored only one away goal, while Tottenham scored two. It's all like Metz playing Bayer Leverkusen, getting two goals away from home, calming the whole team and playing calmly in the home game, playing the Bundesliga side in the palm of their hand.
Therefore, if you want to stay in the UEFA Cup, you will have to try to take advantage of the fact that you are now trying to score more goals in the game, and try to offset Tottenham's two away goal advantages as much as possible.
But there are not so many "wishes come true" in football.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Metz was also unable to break through the door of Tottenham again, and the single-minded Tottenham were a bit like their team name one by one
I don't know what to do when I call Mace.
"The game is over...... Ah, Metz finally didn't manage to complete the strange heart," the French commentator said disappointedly, in his opinion, Metz's next move would be difficult. "It's a shame
If Metz can play like the second half in the first half, maybe it will be Tottenham who will lose hope of qualifying......"
The commentator in England, who was next door to him, was loudly announcing the news that Tottenham's hopes of promotion had been greatly increased: "The game is over! The game is over! Tottenham have two away goals and a draw with Metz
It's a draw, and apart from winning, it's the best result! This score increases their chances of qualifying! ”
Tottenham's players celebrated the 'victory' after the game, while Metz's players were silent. They wasted forty-five minutes of their time, and now this is retribution.
Chu Zhongtian looked at the elated Englishman and shook his head. Then he walked over to his teammates.
"The League Cup is a two-legged elimination system, and it's not over yet." He said to his teammates. "Let's go to their home stadium and give them some color and see!"
