Chapter Twenty-Three: Rock Solid
After Chu Zhongtian ran on the field, he conveyed the coach's arrangement to his teammates: "I will take over Leka!" Then he found Promans, the team's main defender: "Mr. Fernandez tells you to keep defending, and I'll take over Leka, including his job." ”
Promans nodded: "No problem. Also, watch out for that Cana. He didn't forget to remind his new team-mates.
Chu Zhongtian smiled at him: "I know, thank you, Promans." ”
Then he ran back to his place and looked at Rorick, who was not too far away from him. Cana. A white man who looks quite delicate, I really didn't expect his style of playing football to be so fierce. He has long flowing hair, and just looking at his looks makes people think that he should be a back like Redondo. If you only listen to his style of play and don't look at others, you will feel that he should really be described as a black player.
It's a bit of a surprise that a white player is so tough.
Ribery ran back from the front court and came to Chu Zhongtian.
"Remember how we played Pro Evolution Soccer, Chu?" He winked at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"Soccer games are much easier than real-life soccer."
"There's always something in common. Tacit understanding, tacit understanding. Ribery pointed at him, then at himself, then turned and ran away.
"Now it's just a goal down, think about how we play Pro Evolution Soccer?" Before leaving, he said so.
※※※After the restart, Metz took a free kick in front of the court. Handled by Promans, Chu Zhongtian thought about it, usually this kind of front-court set-piece opportunity, the coach requires himself to defend solidly, this game due to the hurry, Fernandez did not talk about this aspect, so you have to rely on your own judgment. Should they go up and participate in the battle for the top, or stay behind to prevent PSG from counterattacking?
He looked in front and then in the back, and finally decided to stay in the center circle to defend. Beware of the opponent's quick counterattack. Set-pieces up front are both our chances and theirs' chances.
However, he did not retreat to the back of the center circle in one go, but chose the area before the center circle, so that he could attack and retreat.
Proman drove the ball out, which was headed over by the Paris Saint-Germain centre-back. When Promans saw this, he did not turn back to the defense, but rushed directly to the landing point of the ball.
The man who received the ball was Portuguese striker Pauletta, who did not choose to go for it, but stopped the ball and drew Promans' attention while waiting for his teammates to come up and pick him up.
Soon Canna ran past him. Pauletta handed the ball to the midfield grinder, ran away from Promans without the ball himself, and stepped forward.
Before he could take two steps after receiving the ball, he saw a yellow figure in front of him.
Chu Zhongtian stepped forward decisively as soon as Cana received the ball, and went to the No. 19 of Paris Saint-Germain.
This is the moment he has been looking forward to!
Come on, the killing machine of Paris, let me see how powerful you are!
Seeing someone standing in front of him, Kanna reflexively tossed the ball to the left, intending to get around it. But just as the ball left his feet, the yellow figure slanted in like lightning and crashed into his body.
And then there was a fierce collision!
Chu Zhongtian watched Kana push the ball away before stepping forward, and just as Kanna's raised thigh, the two of them collided together!
"Cana dribble...... It was PSG's counter-attacking chance...... Oh! Sky! What a fierce collision! This must be a foul! The narrator exclaimed. also frightened Lin Beiyao, Zhou Xiaoxiang and others who were watching the game in front of the TV.
Because it seems that the collision was very violent and violent, at least it must have injured one or both sides.
Kanna didn't expect this man's strength to be so great, he was caught off guard and completely at a disadvantage. The body fell to the ground in front of him, and the football was naturally lost.
And Chu Zhongtian, who hit him, because he took the initiative to collide, was unscathed, and even his center of gravity was not messed up, and he jumped over the Cannon who fell to the ground with this impact, wanting to chase the ball.
It was at this moment that he heard the referee's whistle.
He fouled.
※※※ "Although it was a foul, it was a tactical foul that was really timely and necessary!" CCTV's intern commentator He Ping analyzed. In addition, he also privately felt that Chu Zhongtian's impact was very exciting! However, he can't say it, you must know that Paris Saint-Germain has a lot of fans in China.
The moment Zhou Xiaoxiang saw this collision, she screamed - she was afraid that her son would be injured again.
But then she saw her son Thang Long jumping up to chase the ball, and then she was relieved.
Chu Zuosheng was not frightened by his son's collision, but was so frightened by the screams of his wife next to him that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
"You're scared to death...... What are you afraid of? Although this one looks powerful, it is actually not a problem at all. Don't believe you......" Chu Zuosheng took on the task of eradicating illiteracy for his wife.
As he spoke, Cana, who had been knocked to the ground at least two meters away, got up from the ground.
※※※ "Hah! Ribery, who saw Chu Zhongtian's impact in front, suddenly laughed, he knew that Chu Zhongtian must have done it on purpose, this kid had been planning for a long time...... "Oh oh!" The few Metz fans in the stands were ignited by Chu Zhongtian's collision, and they shouted one after another: "Well done!" Number 30!! That's it!! ”
Leka's injury made all the players and fans of Metz hold their breath, and Chu Zhongtian's foul released the evil energy accumulated in their chests very timely.
The first thing Karna wanted to do now was look up to see who had knocked him out.
In the first half, he was completely sideways in midfield, and Metz's midfield could not compete with him at all, and Proman was the most powerful player in the game, five years older than him, and seemed to be more sleek, not as desperate as himself in the game. There was no threat to him. In fact, Promans is not as ruthless as him because he only rested for three months due to injury before the season, and has always been a little afraid of this violent physical impact.
Now someone dares to provoke himself so blatantly - he definitely does not think this is a tactical foul, this is a challenge! Ask yourself if you dare to fight!
He looked up at the front, and a yellow-skinned face appeared in front of him, smiling at him from afar.
He didn't think it was funny, and his face turned cold.
Yes! It's a challenge!
I don't know you, but I don't care who you are, I'll take it!
※※※ David. Carré, Mays' assistant coach, was startled when he saw Chu Zhongtian knock Kana down: "Damn it...... Don't let the referee pull out the cards...... It's not good to get a yellow card after one minute on the pitch! ”
Fortunately, the referee did not say anything except blowing the whistle to signal Paris Saint-Germain to send a free kick in the backfield, neither pulling Chu Zhongtian for a verbal warning, nor showing a sign of any color.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "Is this kid overexcited?"
Fernandez shook his head: "I think he deserved a foul this time." ”
"Of course, because if he doesn't foul, the opponent can easily hit our counter-attack. But I think he can defend with a little bit of a gentle foul, like pulling the jersey......"
"No, no, David. That's not true. A tactical foul to prevent an opposing counterattack is just the simplest reason. The deeper reason is that Chu's foul has eased the fear of our players against PSG to some extent, and at the same time boosted our morale. ”
"Is it so amazing?" Carré asked, surprised.
"Didn't you hear our fans shouting in the stands?" Fernandez smiled and pointed to the stands.
Carré looked up at the away fans' stands in the distance, where the red was churning and it was the Metz fans cheering.
He shook his head, still feeling a little incomprehensible.
Fernandez turned and walked to the dugout: "Sit back, David, this game is going to be good." ”
※※※ This game has a good show!
Kana stared at the smiling Chu Zhongtian, gritting his teeth in his heart.
However, the battle between the two was only part of the game, and four minutes after Chu Zhongtian came on the field, Metz conceded again, this time by Portuguese striker Pauletta to grab a point in front of goal, and they were already two goals behind.
"In terms of strength, the two teams are too different, and if nothing else, Paris Saint-Germain should be able to win this game." The French TV commentators have already announced the results of the match in advance.
However, the Chinese commentator He Ping is still looking forward to Chu Zhongtian's performance: "It is almost impossible for Metz to win against Paris Saint-Germain, but we, as Chinese spectators, can also expect the performance of Chinese player Chu Zhongtian in this game, it is now the sixty-first minute, and there are nearly 30 minutes left before the end of the game." It's the game he's got the most minutes in and hopefully he can take it. ”
Soon, when Mace was about to counterattack, Chu Zhongtian had just received a pass from his teammates, and when he turned to stop the ball, he was stabbed off by Kana from the side and back, and he knocked him to the ground. But this time the referee didn't blow the whistle and blew for a foul on Cana, and he didn't say anything. Metz conceded the ball and had to continue defending.
Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground and saw that Kana was shrugging his shoulders and pouting at him.
The ball was still a little too big, and the turning and connecting action was a little slower, otherwise the ball would not have been cut off by the opponent so easily, and he didn't react at all...... Chu Zhongtian thought back to his performance just now in his heart and made such a comment.
Sure enough, it is a master, and it deserves to be a strong team.
Chu Zhongtian was looking forward to the remaining thirty minutes of this game.
When Karna received the pass, he stopped a little wider, and the ball bounced off his calf bone, about five meters away.
Out of the corner of his eye, Cana caught a glimpse of a yellow figure suddenly appearing, and he knew that he must have an advantage over the 30th. He immediately flew out without hesitation, stretched out his feet and stomped towards the football.
Chu Zhongtian saw that Kanna stopped the ball and stopped, so he immediately rushed forward and shoveled to break the ball.
The two collided again and shoveled together!
Chu Zhongtian shoveled the ball first, but the football hit the leg of the following Kana and jumped out again.
Neither of the two people fell to the ground like this and did not get up, but pulled each other's jerseys and got up from the ground at the same time, and you chased me to grab the ball.
As a result, none of them grabbed the ball because they were stopped by the referee's whistle.
The referee blew for a foul on Cana, because Chu Zhongtian controlled the ball before him.
※※※ "God ......" Tumu, who was sitting on the bench, saw this scene and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Chu can actually fight a tie with that killing machine...... He's amazing! ”
"Lin Dan kicked it really hard! I haven't seen him fight so hard in the past few games...... "Kang Jianbo and others, who were watching the game in China, didn't understand what the Paris Saint-Germain No. 19 who fought against Chu Zhongtian was.
"Maybe it's because the number 19 kicked his teammate?"
"Hmm...... Quite possibly! Our Lin Danda saw his teammates injured and went down, his eyes were full of tears, his heart was broken, and he was determined to take revenge! ”
"Wow, that's touching!"
Watching his son come into contact with his opponent again and again, and violently colliding, Zhou Xiaoxiang, who was distressed several times, almost couldn't stand it. She used to think that football was a barbaric sport, because her son broke his arm when he played football, but she didn't expect this professional football to be even more barbaric than her son's previous game...... I really don't know what makes this sport so appealing, so many students in the class like it.
"Are you okay every day? Are you okay every day? This is the question that Zhou Xiaoxiang asks the most when watching the game. Every time Chu Zhongtian and the No. 19 collided together and fell to the ground with each other, she would clench her fists and ask her husband next to her.
Chu Zuosheng also looked very nervous, but he was much calmer than his wife: "It's okay, it's okay, nothing will happen." It's all looking fierce, but in fact it's a ...... of."
He was also wondering why his son was so excited in this game, it was completely a desperate Saburo style of play...... Is he really not afraid of getting hurt?
※※※ In fact, Chu Zhongtian is now completely enjoying the fun of dueling with the masters, and he even has time to laugh!
Kanna took Chu Zhongtian's smile as a provocation to him, and desperately frantically blocked Chu Zhongtian in the midfield.
When Chu Zhongtian moved forward with the ball, he would definitely rush up from the side and pull Chu Zhongtian with him, and he would never let Chu Zhongtian go easily, as long as Chu Zhongtian stuck in front of him, he directly grabbed Chu Zhongtian's leg from behind, so that he could no longer run forward half a step.
And Chu Zhongtian was not to be outdone, when he was competing with Kanna for the header, he jumped a little higher, pressed Kanna, and after pushing the football out, he didn't forget to press Kanna's head with both hands, and with the weight of his body, he pressed Kanna to the ground.
Since Chu Zhongtian came on the field, Mace's players found that their pressure had been reduced, and the killing machine Kanna had never come to pester them again, so they recognized Chu Zhongtian and fought in the midfield again and again. In the big picture, Chu Zhongtian's arrival helped the Metz team gradually regain control of the midfield, although it was not yet obvious.
Ribery was finally able to continue dribbling the ball, but unfortunately no one has been able to pass it to him yet.
Although Chu Zhongtian helped his other teammates relieve the pressure from Canna, he was also entangled in Canna and couldn't organize an attack. Coach Fernandes has taken care of his defensive playmaking and he is now only half the task, and the other half has to be solved.
But like a mad dog, Canna recognized him as biting. It doesn't seem so easy to get rid of the opponent, or to complete the task of passing the ball without the interference of Khanna, which is a fantasy and does not need to be thought of.
When he received the ball with his back, if Kana was polite, he wouldn't let him turn around, and if he was not polite, the long legs would be stabbed directly from behind, and if he couldn't stab the ball, he would stab Chu Zhongtian's ankle.
Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he would face such a difficult situation and such a severe test for the first time in the competition. But...... Playing 30 minutes in such a game is much more effective than practicing for 3 hours in training!
Chu Zhongtian felt that he was a competition-type player, and he was also a competition-type player. The harder the game, the harder he played.
Karna's repeated ramming confrontations only made his fighting spirit burn higher and stronger, but not let him back down.
Killing machines? So what?
Lao Tzu is a crazy gang!
People who were born in the mad gang never bow their heads!
※※※ Kana found that there were some changes in Chu Zhongtian's body, and as soon as he received the ball, he would immediately send it out, as if he was afraid of himself. He was a little proud, thinking that it must be his ferocity that frightened the other party.
He'd actually heard about his nickname, "Killing Machine", which sounded scary, but he liked it. He just hopes to use this nickname to create psychological pressure on his opponents and make them afraid of himself, which is the best, so as not to bother himself. Unexpectedly, the stranger that Mace replaced did not appreciate it, and he had to fight with himself. Now you know it's amazing, right? Backed off, right?
But I won't let you go, boy!
Many years later Rorick. Kanna will become more mature and will not be as aggressive and youthful as it is now. He'll also wear the captain's armband and be the spiritual leader of a team and won't have so many card-worthy defensive moves in a single game. But now he is only 20 years old, and last season he finally played in a big team like Paris Saint-Germain, and it was when his self-confidence was extremely inflated, and he felt that his future was bright, and no one could stop him and beat him.
His nickname was later upgraded from "The Killing Machine" to "Ligue 1's No. 1 Killing Machine", but he will remember many years later that his "Killing Machine" suffered in the second half of the game, because his opponent was not a man who could be killed, but a piece of granite that could not be bitten or cut.
