"Chu! Chu's shovel shot! The ball is in! The ball is in! What a beautiful goal! This is a victory for the team in Metz! The weak Mace teaches the mighty Leon a good lesson! Nothing is more important than a team! ”

"Metz leads Lyon 3:1, and it looks like Metz can't beat today!"

"Lyon may have to give up a title......

"It was so unexpected...... The mighty Lyon actually lost at home to a small team like Metz......"

"Before Chu's goal, Metz was perfect, and their combination deceived Lyon's backline all day!"

"Ahaha!" The old man Le Goff, who was sitting in front of the TV, laughed, and he liked to hear the narrator compliment Mace like this.

The Mace players on TV were pulling Chu Zhongtian up from the ground, and Chu Zhongtian, the scorer, looked a little embarrassed. Still, he and his teammates waved to the Metz fans in the stands.

There are only about 2,000 Metz fans at the Gelland Stadium, but at this moment they are the happiest people in the world.

"Chu! Clear! Clear! ”

They shouted Chu Zhongtian's name loudly, and it still sounded very similar to "Xu...... It's been almost two seasons now, and the French haven't figured out the pronunciation of Chu Zhongtian's surname, but this doesn't prevent them from loving Chu Zhongtian.

Xu Xiaodi, who was in the press box, laughed when he saw this scene. My original choice was extremely correct, and it was right to bet that this kid would become famous. Since Ahn Jung-hwan left Metz, the number of South Korean journalists gathered outside the Seongsan Furian training base has rapidly decreased, and none of them have left, and they have all fled to Duisburg, Germany. South Korea's World Cup hero Ahn Jung-hwan was not able to gain a firm foothold in Metz, but Chu Zhongtian not only gained a firm foothold, but also became the core of the team. People are more popular than people -- it's a pity that those South Korean reporters can't see this scene now, otherwise they would have wanted to interview them.

After the celebration of the Metz team, the game resumed. Houllier replaced the inactive Benzema with Kalou, and Benzema was a little unhappy when he left the field, I don't know if he was dissatisfied with being substituted at an important moment, or because of his poor performance...... Houllier didn't have time to care about the psychological condition of one of his young players at this time, and Benzema walked past him, and the two did not communicate at all.

Kalou came on the field obviously to increase Lyon's ability to grab points and compete for the top in the Metz penalty area, because several similar opportunities before were pushed out by Chu Zhongtian. Whether it's Benzema or Fred, whether it's Govu or Ben. Alpha, no one can reach the ball.

Substitutions were made over there, and Fernandez naturally made adjustments here. He replaced Ibisevic, who had not scored, and brought Menez up to a Leka and Reynolds for Oblagnac, who had fitness problems.

The first of these two substitutions is to strengthen the defense, and the second is because the physically exhausted Oblagnac has not contributed much to the team by staying on the field, so it is better to change to a new force.

At the same time, he asked Leka, who was on the field, to bring a word to Chu Zhongtian.

"Sir told you to play at central defender, Chu." After speaking, Leka pointed to the Kalu, who was 1.95 meters tall.

Chu Zhongtian knew that he was going to compete with Karui for the header. There is a difference of twelve centimeters between the two in height, but Fernandez and his teammates don't seem to doubt that Chu Zhongtian can guard against Kalu. Because in the usual training and competitions, Chu Zhongtian's ability to compete for the top has been undoubtedly displayed, and everyone believes in him.

In fact, Karubileka came on for a minute and had already had a chance to head home. At that time, Ben. Alpha desperately broke through Chu Zhongtian, was pressed by Chu Zhongtian step by step, and finally barely crossed when he was about to go out of the bottom line. Since the cross was not well received here, Kalou's aerial duel did not pose a threat to Metz's goal. It's just that from this top battle, people can see Mace's problems in defense.

Thankfully, Fernandez made the adjustment in time.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Karu and nodded: "Okay." ”

※※※ Ben. Alpha was very happy that Chu Zhongtian finally stopped pestering him, he was really about to be forced to hurry. The defense of Mace's No. 8 is almost leaky, no matter how he feints, he just doesn't be fooled, forcing him to reach the bottom line every time and can't break through, so he can only rush to cross, even so, the cross can't be passed every time.

Well, now that pesky Mace Eight is gone. He thought he was relaxed, but he was wrong.

Beria and Leka teamed up against Ben. Alpha defensively, one-on-two he is not easy at all.

Lyon's attack quickly shifted to Govu's side, so when Govu passed the ball to goal, all eyes were on there.

Karui didn't take Chu Zhongtian, who was a head shorter than him, in his eyes.

But in the next second, when he had just jumped, he found that Chu Zhongtian was already in front of him!

Chu Zhongtian, who jumped high in the air, grabbed in front of Karui and pushed the football out.

Karui looked at Chu Zhongtian's back in some surprise, he didn't expect that the things in his bag would be snatched by the other party...... "Okay, I admit that I underestimated him, next time I will show my real skills......" The Norwegian said to himself in his heart.

Soon he had his next chance, as Lyon were almost attacking around the Metz penalty area, so their attacking intervals were very short.

After Chu Zhongtian pushed the ball out, the Metz defender followed to create an offside position and press out, and Karui also ran back, knowing that his team would soon be able to control the ball and complete the cross again. He wasn't worried at all that his teammates wouldn't pass the ball to him, Houllier replaced him just to get him to the header, and if his teammates didn't cross, then what did he do when he came up? Isn't it a waste of a high striker?

Sure enough, he looked back and saw Diarra get the ball and distribute it to Ben on the wing. Alpha, Ben. Alpha tried to break through but failed, so he passed the ball to Juninho, who was pulled to the side to support him.

Juninho stopped the ball on the ground and had no intention of breaking through, didn't it make it clear that he wanted to cross?

Karui turned his head to look at his situation - not offside, but not enough, to retreat a little more, to give himself space to sprint, to the top of the ball is definitely more dangerous than to jump on the spot.

Karui retreated a little further. That's when Juninho kicks in a cross!

The Norwegian opened his arms to block the people behind him, and he didn't look at who was there, so as not to let them get stuck easily.

Then he jumped up and tried to smash a cross into Metz's goal.

Chu Zhongtian found that Kalu was stuck in his position, and it was too late for him to adjust it, so he could only jump along. The high school striker does have two brushes. But he didn't panic, he jumped up and waited in the air for his chance.

Metz was shocked to see Karui block his position, and even goalkeeper Timby felt desperate - with such a big man jumping up and being so close at hand, scoring a goal must have been an easy thing for him, right?

Only Chu Zhongtian has not given up, although he is no longer able to hit the ball, but he can interfere with Kalu. So he did the same and scrambled to the Norwegian in the air. At the same time, he poked his head out and blocked between Karui and the goal, intending to block Kalou's header.

Juninho's corner kick is not an out-spin ball, that is, it is not the kind of pass that is parallel to the goal, but an in-spin ball, and the ball goes straight to the back post of the goal, so that as long as the ball is rubbed, there is a good chance of scoring. It is more of a threat to the goal than an out-spin ball.

It looks like Lyon really made the most of Kalou's height and header ability.

Maybe they'll really be able to score this time?

However, Karui had a small error in his judgment of the ball, coupled with Chu Zhongtian's interference with him, he didn't even reach the ball!

This made Chu Zhongtian, who had been waiting behind him, wait for an opportunity! A slight white-headed action, picked up the football, the ball flew high over the crossbar, directly out of the bottom line, corner kick!

After landing on the ground, Karui shook Chu Zhongtian's arm, and he thought that Chu Zhongtian's small movement in the back just now was the key reason why he didn't get the ball. If Chu Zhongtian is replaced by any other professional player, I am afraid that the first reaction after being thrown by Karui is to cover his face - regardless of whether it really hit his face - he fell to the ground with a wail, which can immediately attract the attention of the referee, and if he is lucky, he may be sent off with a red card as soon as Kalu, an unlucky child, comes on the field.

But Chu Zhongtian was honest, his body dodged, and he let go of Kalu's hand. Promans, who was next to him, saw it and raised his hand to appeal to the referee: "Look what he's doing, referee!" ”

The referee looked over, and Karui defended himself: "He was the one who pulled me during the battle for the top!" He pointed at Chu Zhongtian and waved his arm again. He doesn't speak French yet, but everyone knows what you mean if you make a move on the football field.

Chu Zhongtian spread out his hands, looking innocent.

So the referee came up to the two men and said, "Pay attention to your movements." ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded, very obedient, while Karui frowned, very unhappy - obviously the other party made a small move first, why should he pay attention to himself now?

Well, next is a corner, there is the ability and I rely on the real ability to go heads-up! You scumbag brat...... before the corner kick begins, there is a fierce battle between the players in front of Metz - for position. Among them, Chris and Bobigconi were both verbally warned by the referee because of their excessive movements when they were stuck in position.

Compared to others, Chu Zhongtian and Kalu were very calm, and they didn't even look like they were fighting for position.

The two stood side by side, Kalu on the outside, Chu Zhongtian on the inside, and four meters behind him was the goal line.

There was no physical contact between the two, perhaps because the referee's previous warning was the most useful. When the two of them stand side by side, the difference in height is obvious. Karu is almost a head taller than Chu Zhongtian, and it really makes people worry about whether Chu Zhongtian can beat Norway's high school striker in the battle for the top.

Karui looked down at Chu Zhongtian, who was shorter than him.

Be sure to blow him up this time!

When order in front of goal was finally in order, the referee withdrew from the penalty area and signaled that Lyon could take a corner.

Juninho gestured and kicked the ball towards goal.

Just after the football was kicked out, Karui and Chu Zhongtian jumped at the same time!

With no physical contact and no minor distractions, Karui was confident that he would be able to win against the Metz number eight on the ball.

But his field of vision was wide and he felt a dim—something was blocking the light from there.

"Wow!" The narrator exclaimed. "He's jumping so high!"

The "he" in the narrator's mouth does not refer to Kalu, but to Chu Zhongtian!

Jumping almost at the same time, Chu Zhongtian's explosive power made him jump a little higher than Karudu!

Chu Zhongtian, who was high up, pushed the ball kicked by Juninho out of the sideline, and Karui shook his head and only hit a cloud of air...... He looked at the taller Mace Eight in amazement, and his mind went blank.

Metz's players were not surprised. Chu Zhongtian is a pervert who can jump on the spot and dunk with both hands, and in terms of bounce ability alone, I am afraid that there are not many people who can defeat him on the football field. If he is another ten centimeters taller, his most promising career would be a professional basketball player in the NBA...... "Chu has been the core of Mays' midfield this season, responsible for organizing the team's offense. He cooperates very well with Ribery and Menez. But his outstanding offensive performance has made many people forget that he was once a defensive player, and he has excellent anticipation in one-on-one, and his bounce and judgment of the ball are great when defending...... Such a midfielder is really a superman that many managers dream of......"

Being able to get such an evaluation from the mouth of a picky Frenchman, Chu Zhongtian finally achieved a positive result in Metz.

Houllier didn't expect that the player who played in the midfield could even make a cameo as a central defender, and the cameo was so good! His tactical adjustments were completely controlled by Fernandysk.

Faced with such a situation, he was a little helpless.

※※※ Until the end of the game, Lyon did not score although they besieged Metz. The score was still 1:3, and Lyon, playing at home, was two goals behind.

"Metz are only three minutes away from knocking out Ligue 1 giants Lyon at the Stade Gérland!"

On the sidelines, the fourth official held up a sign for injury time in the game, which was three minutes into stoppage time.

"To score two goals in three minutes to tie the game is too difficult for the current Lyon team......

"Metz fans started setting off fireworks in the stands and they were celebrating their team's advance to the semi-finals!"

"Onward! Mace! Forward, Crimson! The Metz fans chanted.

Metz's substitutes stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow the full-time whistle before rushing into the stadium to celebrate.

Fernandez also stood in the crowd, ready for the moment.

The Metz players on the pitch also knew they were only two minutes away from qualifying for the semi-finals, so the players who didn't have the ball took the time to raise their arms and cheer.

Root. Alpha saw that Kalu, who had come up, was useless, and there was not much time left, if he still blindly crossed from the side and did not change, the opponent would obviously have no trouble defending it. This has no effect. So he decided not to cross and break through in the middle.

It should also be his bad luck in this game, when he was a full-back looking for a breakthrough on the side, Chu Zhongtian made a cameo appearance as a full-back. Now when he decided to break through from the middle, Chu Zhongtian was the central defender.

I don't know why, Ben. When Alpha saw that his opponent was Chu Zhongtian again, he was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what he should do next...... In the previous battle, he knew that his feints were of little use to this calm man, so he forced a breakthrough with speed?

But the explosiveness of the person in front of him is not weak.

Root. Alpha is really out of the question.

Just when he was hesitating, Chu Zhongtian bullied him. And with a very resolute shovel to put Ben. The football at Alpha's feet was left behind. Root. Alpha's center of gravity was unsteady and he fell to the ground.

It was a clean and neat defense, and Chu Zhongtian's actions did not cause any repercussions. Alpha's performance made the commentator incomprehensible: "He didn't move at all, just watching the ball under his feet being broken by Chu!" It looks like a frightened child! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who broke the ball, suddenly became interested, he didn't pass the ball to anyone, but accelerated himself and rushed forward with the ball!

Chu Zhongtian finally ended his adventure with a long-range shot from 35 meters from the goal, although the football shot high, but after the shot, he still turned around and waved his arms towards the stands where the Metz fans gathered, signaling them to shout a little louder and more enthusiastic.

His move was met with an enthusiastic response from the Metz fans in the stands.

They shouted Chu Zhongtian's surname loudly.

Of course, the Lyon fans also booed more to Commander Metz, who played well in the game.

"Oooo Chu is still stirring up the emotions of Metz fans! He had just been running long distances with the ball, and in the last moments of the game he told Lyon: Even in the last moments of the game, you don't want to press too hard! ”

"This breakthrough reminds me of Beckenbauer......"

Chu Zhongtian waved his arms like that and ran back. His actions even infected the Metz players on the field, and when Chu Zhongtian ran in front of Ribery, he patted his good friend on the shoulder hard.

Menez, on the other hand, gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up, signaling that he had done a good job just now.

Promang waited for Chu Zhongtian on the way back and high-fived him.

Bobicon touched Chu Zhongtian's head and said to him, "Well done, Chu!" ”

"Such a Metz is already invincible, even if the opponent is Lyon!" The narrator was excited again.

He's right, this Metz team is really unbeatable today. Although they themselves had doubts before they came on the field.

Three minutes of stoppage time passed in the blink of an eye, and Lyon never scored again, and in the last minute, Chu Zhongtian simply led the whole team to pass the ball back and forth in his own half. And the Lyon players also knew that there was no hope of winning, and they had little interest in jumping on it and fighting for the ball again.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, there was a huge boo at the Stadium in Gerland – the only way the home fans could express their displeasure.

Metz's substitutes ignored the boos of the home fans and swarmed up to hug their teammates on the pitch to celebrate their victory!

The TV camera was once again aimed at Chu Zhongtian in the crowd.

The meaning is obvious.

The old man Le Goff, who was sitting in front of the TV, laughed.

"The prize is yours again, boy!"
