With a narrow 1-0 win against Strasbourg, Metz has not had time to take a breath and will face strong rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the next round of the league.

Chu Zhongtian was selected for the fifth consecutive time in the squad, which seems to prove that his position in the team is becoming more and more secure. Although he has never started.

And because the match was played against Paris Saint-Germain from Paris, the capital of France, the CCTV sports channel in China also broadcast this game live. However, they didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to appear in the eighteen-person roster before.

The day before the game, the team drove from Metz to Paris, and in the hotel where they stayed, Ribery and Chu Zhongtian declined the invitation of other teammates to let them go out together, and huddled in their hotel room and played live football all night.

This time, Ribery can finally live an addiction of controlling himself and cooperating with Chu Zhongtian.

Whenever Chu Zhongtian's "Chu Zhongtian" assists Ribery's "Ribery" assists to score, Ribery will get up from his seat and make all sorts of celebratory gestures.

Chu Zhongtian was amused by him.

"I think I'm quite close to reality." After deliberately using himself to complete a hat-trick in a match, Ribery said proudly to Chu Zhongtian.

"It's just my bad pass." Chu Zhongtian was worried that his pass was only 65, which was still a white number.

"You see, you made such a bad pass, and you also completed a hat-trick of assists, which shows your own strength." Ribery hurriedly complimented Chu Zhongtian.

"It's a simple game, but it's not that simple in real football." Ribery is very difficult to adjust, and in many cases he can shake off all opponents by simply accelerating the ball, in which case the power of his passing is almost unrecognizable.

"In real games, we can't do this kind of cooperation together."

As he spoke, Ribery passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian, and then ran forward by himself.

It was an obvious one-two collision with the wall, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to him again, broke through the opponent's last line of defense, and then scored by Ribery's shot.

"Such an obvious two-one-one in a real game must not be used." Ribery jumped up again to celebrate the goal, while Chu Zhongtian pointed to the TV screen and said.

"Not necessarily." Ribery said to Chu Zhongtian while celebrating, "The two-on-one cooperation in front of the penalty area is very penetrating, of course the opponent is strict, but it is not that there is no chance at all, it depends on how you and I cooperate." This is the easiest, and there are some changes we can make. For example, instead of cutting in a straight line, I run sideways, pass the ball to you, you pass it to me, and then I shoot from a distance! ”

Ribery said as he gestured to explain to Chu Zhongtian.

"We can still do that...... I pass the ball to you and then cut inside to attract the opponent's attention, but you don't pass the ball to me, after I am empty in front of you, you can break in by yourself, or pass to someone in other directions, or simply shoot yourself! ”

"And two in a row." Chu Zhongtian thought of another offensive routine. "You pass it to me, you run sideways and get the attention of the opposing defence. I'll pass it on to you, and then I turned and ran inside. You pass it to me, I'm passing it to the striker in the box. ”

"That's not bad, either. And two over one doesn't have to be in the middle of the penalty area to play, it's also possible in the ribs. You see I'm on the side, and if the opponent is pushing hard, they will come up to meet me. "Ribery said this, simply archived and quit the game, entered the training mode, and rehearsed with Chu Zhongtian in the game using the controller." I'll pass the ball to you, and then don't hesitate to go straight to the baseline, and I'll definitely cut it in and chase it. Then I can cross or I can go inside myself......"

"If you draw the attention of the opponent's defence, you can pass it back to me. I can follow up into the box. Chu Zhongtian put forward his own idea.

"That's it!" Ribery slapped his face, "You see, a two-by-one, how many changes can we evolve?" ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Football is a sport that requires the brain. ”

"Yes, yes." When it comes to cooperating with Chu Zhongtian, Ribery is very energetic.

"Chu, your overhead passes are more forward, have you noticed this problem?"

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

"But sometimes, when your pass hits the ground and you run forward, I can't catch it, and I can't run faster than you can kick the ball with all your might. You should look at my movement and decide which technique to use to pass the ball. If we counterattack and there is a lot of space in front of us, but when I'm still far from where your pass lands, you add a spin to the ball so you can kick it forward and not worry about me not getting it. When the ball hits the ground, it spins around, which slows it down and I can catch it very easily. ”

Later, the two of them didn't even play the game, so they danced and discussed with each other in the room, and when it came to the place of rise, they also stood up to demonstrate in person, and Ribery told Chu Zhongtian about his habitual running position. Chu Zhongtian talked about his habit of passing.

It wasn't until the stipulated break time that the two went to bed. Chu Zhongtian felt that discussing football skills or something when he was with Ribery was fine, which benefited him a lot. He liked the feeling, it was much more fun than going out to clubbing and drinking and playing with women when he had nothing to do.

※※※Paris Saint-Germain (paris_saint-German, referred to as PSG) is actually not an old powerhouse, because this team was born in 1970, but their rise is very fast, insisting on attacking football play, which is very popular with people. Weah, the continent's first World Footballer of the Year, Bad Classical striker Rai, and his own Djokaeff, Ginola, Loko and others have all played in this team. The most recent master of the technical stream to play here is Brazilian Ronaldinho.

Paris Saint-Germain's position in French domestic football was established in the early and mid-nineties of the last century, and at this point, the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille has been called the "national derby" of France, just like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, Juventus and Inter Milan in Italy, and is a heavyweight competition that symbolizes the highest level and level.

So the reason why this game is so striking is actually on PSG's side.

The French live broadcast agency originally gave China Central Television the live broadcast signal of this game, also considering that Paris Saint-Germain is famous, and there must be many fans abroad, and it is obviously much better to broadcast this game than to broadcast matches like Caen and Toulouse. They also didn't take into account that there is also a Chinese player in the Metz team, which would give extra points to the broadcast in China.

The match kicks off at 9 p.m. local time in France, which is already the latest kick-off. In China, it's 3 a.m. the next day. In order to broadcast this game, CCTV even gave up a La Liga broadcast, which caused La Liga fans to complain, and they scolded: "CCAV is messing up again!" Put the attractive La Liga matches without broadcasting, and run to the French Ligue 1 that turns hair! What's so good about Ligue 1? Can the second-rate league in Europe compete with La Liga, the world's first league? We're going to see Real Madrid play at Racing Santander!! ”

However, Kang Jianbo and his friends chanted CCTV for their wisdom, because they were more concerned about whether their compatriot Chu Zhongtian could play in this game than the superstars who admired Real Madrid.

There are also people who don't want to delay on both sides, although Lin Danda is good, but they don't know if they can play, and the performance of the Real Madrid superstar is also not to be missed, so they watch Ligue 1 on TV, and La Liga is on the computer network, and both sides are not delayed - "Anyway, I just look at Lin Danda, if Lin Danda doesn't play, I won't watch it, and I will watch the game on Real Madrid's side first." ”

On this day, Kang Jianbo didn't go home at night again. He found an Internet café where he could watch TV, and spent the night deleting the meaningless water stickers and advertising posts on the website forum, chatting with his friends in the group, looking forward to the start of the game.

The most discussed in the group is whether Chu Zhongtian will play in this game, and if so, how many minutes will he play. Optimistic people think that Chu Zhongtian has no problem playing in this game, and it should not be less than fifteen minutes. Because Paris Saint-Germain is too strong, maybe in the end they need to replace Chu Zhongtian to strengthen their defense? The pessimistic people think that Chu Zhongtian may not play, the reason is that the opponent's offensive is too strong, if the game is over early, Chu Zhongtian will not have a chance to play.

At 2:20, Kang Jianbo felt a little hungry, and asked the network manager to make him a bowl "come to a bucket", and while eating, he continued to fart and chat with everyone in the group, waiting for the start of the game.

In addition, chatting with him on his QQ is Lin Beiyao in France. Lin Beiyao watched live TV in the dormitory, he felt very sorry that Lin Beiyao didn't go to watch the game on the spot, if it was him, let alone Paris, even if it was to Marseille in the south, he would follow.

"Football is to be watched on the spot, to be motivated!" He continued to instill in Lin Beiyao what to do as a qualified fan.

During this time, he has gradually taught Lin Beiyao, at least he will not ask him some questions such as "why can only three people be changed in a game".

"Of course I'm going to the home stadium, but it's still away from home, do you know what time it kicks off in this game? Nine o'clock in the evening! I can't come back after watching the ball? I still have class tomorrow morning. Lin Beiyao complained over there.

"Alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity...... If it were me, I'd rather skip class than go to the stadium to watch the game. ”

"You are you, I am me." Lin Beiyao pursed her mouth.

"Bah, beauty. What are the chances of Lin Danda playing in this game? ”

"I'm not a coach, how do I know?"

"Guess, you've had a close relationship with Lin Danda, and you can always see some clues, right?"

"I don't know...... I don't know much about this, what clues do you see? ”

"Alas...... Everyone doesn't know if Lin Danda is going to play, if he doesn't appear all night, it will be a big hit......"

Lin Beiyao felt that what her high school table mate said was also right: "That's it." I'm here to broadcast live, and the speed is definitely faster than your domestic live broadcast, and you're still watching Internet TV in an Internet café. If Chu Zhongtian is on the court, I will tell you that it can be three to five minutes faster than in China! ”

Unexpectedly, Kang Jianbo rejected her suggestion without hesitation: "Don't! Spoilers are no fun! I want to keep a glimmer of anticipation and suspense...... Hey! ”

Lin Beiyao snorted and twisted his face to the side.

There was a small television next to her computer, and the screen was already showing images of the Parc des Princes in Paris. She said to Kang Jianbo: "The live broadcast on our side is about to start!" ”

Kang Jianbo came over with a drooling expression of envy: "It's all started?" Damn, it's only 2:40...... Too envious! ”

※※※Chu Zhongtian followed Ribery onto the court and began to warm up.

"It's ......a big pitch," he sighed, visually bigger than Stamford Bridge he'd been to. But in fact, the capacity of the two is about the same, Stamford Bridge is 42,000, and the Parc des Princes is 48,000. However, the area of the Parc des Princes is still some distance from the spectator stands, and the slope of the stands is gentle, so it looks bigger than Stamford Bridge.

It was the first time he had played with the club at the home of the Ligue 1 giants. The pitches in Ligue 1 are generally dilapidated and not comparable to those in England. The price of their home tickets here is based on the quality of the stadium, and the highest ticket price at the Metz home stadium is only 40 euros, and it is said that in the second division, the highest ticket price at the Holy Mountain Fortion Stadium is only 29 euros...... And what about the good courses? It is said that a visit to Lyon's home stadium, the Stade Gérland, costs 5.8 euros per person per hour.

That's the gap.

The 48,000-strong stands weren't full, it wasn't a national derby, the crowd wasn't that enthusiastic, and it would be nice to have 40,000 seats.

※※※ "I saw Chu Zhongtian, he was warming up with Ribery!" Lin Beiyao watched TV while telling Kang Jianbo the content through QQ.

Kang Jianbo immediately transferred to the group: "Central Channel 5 is still playing advertisements, I will broadcast the situation before the game to you first." Chu Zhongtian is warming up outside! ”

"How's he doing?" The group immediately asked eagerly.

"How is Chu Zhongtian's state?" Kang Jianbo turned this sentence to ask Lin Beiyao again.

"How do I know?" This is Lin Beiyao's answer.

"She doesn't know." Kang Jianbo could only reply to his friends in the group like this.

"Alas......" a group of people sighed.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian has learned that he will not start this game, while Ribery continues to start. In fact, he has long been used to it after so many games, and he has no hope for the starter, and now he just hopes that he can have the opportunity to come off the bench, starter? Take your time.

After the warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room. The substitutes changed back into warm coats and trousers before leaving the locker room and going to the bench. The starting eleven stayed to listen to their head coach Jean. Fernández's final arrangement and key advice.

Fernandes is not the type of coach who likes to motivate his team with words and exaggerated body movements, and he has few words other than those who like to express his meaning with clear tactical arrangements. Definitely not going to be in the locker room ranting and waving his arms vigorously and telling his players: nothing but victory or fucking victory. He barely even swears.

Wrapped in a heavy Puma jacket, Chu Zhongtian walked out of the corridor, walked along the sideline to the away team's bench, and then sat down and began to wait for the game to begin. He won't stand on the sidelines of the court and sigh like he did when he entered the squad for the first time, and he won't do anything that seems symbolic and doesn't actually mean anything like stepping into the field with one foot in the squad, except for waiting to play, he doesn't want anything now, his mind is still in the water.

In front of him, the cameraman carried a video camera past Met's bench and took the substitutes into the camera one by one. When it came to photographing him, he didn't stop at all. For French football, he is just a nobody, and it is worth paying attention to at all. There may be some Frenchmen who think so - being able to play dozens of minutes off the bench in Ligue 1 is a great happiness for the Chinese player, and fans in China will rejoice at the timing of these dozens of minutes.

The betting industry in foreign countries is very developed, and before this game, the bookmaker offered odds for every player on both sides, including starting odds, playing odds, goal odds, assist odds, how many minutes to play odds, how many minutes to score odds...... In addition to betting on the score and the outcome of the two sides, fans can also play some other sports, such as guessing whether Ribery will score his first goal in this game and guessing how many minutes of the game will be scored.

Chu Zhongtian also has similar odds, the starting odds are 35 to one, the odds for substitutes are 5 to 1, the odds for assists are 50 to 1, and the odds for scoring goals are the most amazing - 75 to one.

No one is optimistic about Chu Zhongtian's goal at all.

Ribery's assists are priced at 2.5 to 1 and he is now Metz's number one assister. However, his goal is 15 to 15, and he has played 18 league games for Metz, and has shot a lot of shots, but he has not scored his first goal since joining Metz. If you really want to become famous, scoring goals is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective means. Five assists can't top up to a goal...... There were more people in the stands than Chu Zhongtian had seen when he warmed up, and he was basically able to fill three-quarters of the stadium stands, and the broadcast on the scene began to remind everyone: "Paris Saint-Germain is about to play!" ”

There was a huge cheer in the stands.

There are very few fans in Metz, and it is almost impossible to find them as far as the eye can see.

For this game, the bookmaker's odds are that Metz wins Paris Saint-Germain 12 to 12, judging from this odds, this game is more auspicious, and it is wishful thinking to take away three points from the Parc des Princes, and it is enough for them to cheer and celebrate all night.
