Chapter 54: From Now On, Listen to Me

"Oh...... Oh! buuuut! buuuuuut!! Mario. Yepez! They pulled a goal back! Only six minutes into the second half, in the fifty-first minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain tied the score at 1:2! Looks like there's hope! ”

The narrator excitedly announced.

The Paris Saint-Germain players hugged each other happily after the goal, while the Metz players were a little stunned. Ribery waved his hand unhappily, and the two-goal lead turned into a one-goal lead, and it was a different game.

"Alright, guys, now we're going to get nervous!" Ribery clapped his hands and shouted.

Metz coach Bruno Fernandes was also unhappy with his team conceding so early and shook his head off the pitch.

For PSG supporters, it was just the first piece of good news in the 51st minute.

Soon came the news from Marseille that made them even more excited - Marseille fell behind Lyon 0-1 at their home stadium, and it was Juninho who scored the goal, and it was a direct free kick! The Paris Saint-Germain fans began chanting from the stands: "Next season we go to Europe, you go to the second division!" Oooooooo Next season we go to Europe, you go to the second division! "It's a goal away, but in the eyes of the proud Parisians, it's not a gap at all, and if they want to, they can level the score in minutes.

Ribery wants his teammates to be nervous, but how much more nervous should they be? Not being nervous enough is the same as not being nervous, and being too nervous is even worse...... The Metz players were a bit helpless after conceding the goal. They are no strangers to this form, and it was the same feeling after Paris Saint-Germain were given the goal in the opening eight minutes.

The players' minds are starting to be unified. The backfield players will be looking to defend solidly against PSG's onslaught, while the frontcourt players will believe that the team should be brave enough to score another goal and widen the gap to two goals.

The lack of unity of thought is manifested on the pitch, which is the disconnect between the front and back courts.

Chu Zhongtian tried very hard to connect the team, but it was useless. Because the players at the back don't want to attack, they just want to defend, and they don't press up when they have the chance, and he lacks support. The players in the front court only want to attack and don't want to defend, and when they defend, they are not very willing to come back, and it is very difficult for him to pass in front of him.

As a result, Mace's offense and defense were a mess for several minutes.

Chu Zhongtian was desperately combing, but with little success.

Seven minutes after conceding the last goal, PSG scored again!

This time it was a free-kick in front of the court, led by another centre-back, Pierre Brown. Fang Fan's header made a contribution.

Pierre. Fang Fan was not the object of Chu Zhongtian's responsibility, he could only look at the ball and sigh.

"It's beautiful! It's beautiful!! Paris Saint-Germain did it! They equalised! Equaliser after two goals! The Mace people are too careless! In the 58th minute of the game, Pierre. Fang Fan scored another goal for Paris Saint-Germain! The Canal+ narrator yelled excitedly. Who likes a one-sided game? As a neutral fan, of course, I hope that the more exciting the game, the better, and the more twists and turns, the better.

"It's a pity...... Metz was equalized, and the two-goal lead was not safe, and Metz played too messily during this time! He Ping felt very sorry that as the team that Chu Zhongtian played, he obviously had more good feelings for Metz than for Paris Saint-Germain. He wants Metz to succeed in relegation, but what does it matter to him whether PSG can qualify for Europe next season?

The Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands began singing and cheering, while most of the Metz fans remained silent after conceding the goal, with only a few extreme fans booing.

They still couldn't come to terms with the reality of a two-goal lead in the first half and an equaliser in the second half after eight minutes.

Even more unacceptable than them were the Metz players, many with their heads in their hands and looking depressed, as if they had already lost the game.

Ribery sulked on the side because he was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates, and he didn't bother to deal with his frustrated teammates.

But this kind of sentiment cannot be allowed to develop, and someone must stand up to stop this.

Captain or locker room activist?

Neither, it's Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian ran to the goal and picked up the football. Then he said to his teammates, "Okay, now we should have a unified mind, right?" Anyway, it's a draw, and there's no need to argue about whether to defend or attack. There is no other way but to win. Now if you want to win, you can only attack! He clenched his fist and waved.

"But what if we press out and attack and they score? Their morale is high right now...... "Full-back Signorino has his own concerns.

"But if we don't attack, the best outcome is a draw." Chu Zhongtian said to him.

"We have one last round against Nantes...... said Signorino.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "Don't pin your hopes on the game that hasn't been played yet, if we can win this game, won't the match with Nantes be easy?" In short, don't think about what will happen in the future, and win the game in front of you! From now on, listen to me! ”

After saying that, he ran to the center circle with the football in his arms, and put the football on the tee point while the Paris Saint-Germain players were still celebrating their goals.

Seeing him do this, the others finally regained some morale. They all walked to their positions, waiting for the kick-off.

But it is difficult to say whether these restored morales will have a role.

Chu Zhongtian found Ribery again: "Don't be angry, Frank. Let's find a way to score another goal. ”

Ribery shrugged: "They don't have as tight a mark as they did in the first half, but a fool can see that their target is you, you can't pass the ball, what can I do?" ”

Chu Zhongtian also felt that this was a problem. I was deeply besieged by the other party, and I felt a little powerless.

He seemed to be back to when he played at Wimbledon, in the fifth round of the FA Cup with Millwall, and he was sent by Millwall to be closely marked by two people, and he was so the ball that he couldn't control the ball at all. As a result, Wimbledon Athletic were eliminated from that game and were unable to go further in the FA Cup.

Do you want to repeat the scene from a year ago?

Haven't you made any progress after training for so long?

No!

Chu Zhongtian shook his head.

"I'm trying to get rid of them, it won't be long, I'll pass the ball very quickly, you have to pay more attention, get closer to me, long passes will take more time, I'm afraid I'll be broken." He said to Ribery.

Ribery nodded: "I listen to you." ”

Chu Zhongtian told Oblagnac and Elf about his words again. Tum and Richard. Sorier, all the attacking players received his latest instructions - "Get closer to me. I'm going to cooperate with you. ”

With that done, he turned around and made a pressing gesture to the full-back.

"If we don't attack, we'll die!!" He shouted at the guards.

Then, without waiting for any response from the defenders, the game was already restarted.

※※※ Paris Saint-Germain, who equalized the score, was aggressive and wanted to score another goal, or even more, in one fell swoop to win Metz.

Only then did they feel that this game was normal - we were so much stronger than Metz, the previous 0:2 was an accident, the current 2:2 is not normal, 3:2, 4:2 is the score that should be taken!

Tum passed the football to Chu Zhongtian. Paris Saint-Germain striker Lyuboya pounced, followed by Simmaca and Cana. A little further afield, the entire backline of Paris Saint-Germain.

Before scoring the second goal, they pressed forward like this, forcing Metz to make mistakes, and eventually lost the ball at the back and fouled on the spot, giving PSG a free-kick that led to the conceded goal.

Paris Saint-Germain wants to repeat the same trick.

So as soon as Chu Zhongtian got the ball, several people came up to surround him.

At this time, it was the time when the morale of the Paris Saint-Germain players was high, and Chu Zhongtian could only avoid his edge, turn around to control the ball, and run back. Then he looked left and right and passed the ball to the wide defender Signorino.

After passing the ball, he ran to Signorino and asked for the ball with his hook, Signorino passed the ball again, Chu Zhongtian signaled him to step forward, but Signorino was a little hesitant, he didn't run Chu Zhongtian had no better direction to play the ball, so he couldn't kick forward directly, right? Nobody is kicking past and just giving the ball to the opponent.

As soon as the two of them hesitated, Chu Zhongtian let Kana beside him seize the opportunity to break the ball!

Chu Zhongtian, who lost the ball, did not hesitate, shoveled on the spot, and put Kana to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded, not only awarded Chu Zhongtian a foul, but also gave him a yellow card.

Kana's teammates complained to the referee, signaling that the foul should at least be given a red card. It was a behind-the-back tackle and ended what should have been a great chance for PSG to hit back. It's not an exaggeration to give a red card!

Chu Zhongtian didn't argue with them, he didn't even pull Kana who fell to the ground, but yelled at Signorino: "Insert forward, insert forward!" What are you doing? ”

He was angry and yelled at his teammates so loudly on the pitch for the first time. Because he shouldn't have taken this yellow card, and he didn't have to hand over possession of the ball to the opponent in such a dangerous place. If he hadn't fouled in time, it would probably have led to the third conceded goal. You know, it's the most dangerous thing for the midfielder to concede the ball in front of the penalty area, because his defenders and teammates will be caught off guard.

Signolino also knew what it meant for Chu Zhongtian to lose the ball here, he was a little embarrassed, but he still had to defend himself a few words: "I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what?" Chu Zhongtian asked loudly, "You just have to go forward, it's my problem that I can't pass under your feet!" I'll help you make up for the ball you lose in the front, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Signorino was speechless and could only keep his head down.

Chu Zhongtian didn't let him go, pointed to the front and shouted to him: "Next time I have a chance, I will step forward!" Plug forward! Relying only on the frontcourt players, it is easy for the opponent to target our attack! ”

He Ping, who was commentating the game, saw this scene and sighed: "The more Chu Zhongtian looks, the more he has the posture of being a captain, although he does not have a captain's armband on his arm. But isn't this usually supposed to be done by the captain? ”

The commentator at Canal+ interpreted it this way: "Chu and his teammates seemed to be at odds, and the two had some arguments after losing the ball...... I wonder if this will give Paris Saint-Germain a chance? ”

Kang Jianbo spoke in the QQ group: "This is the spirit of Wang Ba! …… Uh, I made a mistake! It's the spirit of a king! ”

PSG also wanted to score from a free-kick. This time, Chu Zhongtian temporarily changed his plan to mark Canna, and when the Paris Saint-Germain players were about to kick off, he suddenly gave up on Cana and went straight to the opponent's two central defenders. His prediction proved correct as he got ahead of two PSG centre-backs to get the ball out. And if he hadn't done that, the football would probably have been hit by PSG players again.

After Chu Zhongtian pushed out the opponent's ball, he slapped his hands again and shouted to his teammates around him: "Attack!" We need to attack! We can only win if we attack! ”

Maybe for other players, it would be nice to be able to draw with a team like Paris Saint-Germain. And they had already heard at half-time that Nantes were 1-0 down to Sochaux away, and although Sochaux's player Oluma was sent off in the 58th minute, everyone still wanted to believe that Nantes was powerless.

As long as Nantes loses, then even if we draw it is a good result. The last one is a decisive battle against Nantes...... But Chu Zhongtian didn't think so, he would never accept this result, even if it was a draw. You must know that they were the ones who had a two-goal lead before, and if it ended like this, then what were the two goals scored by Metz? What are my two assists? Is it acceptable that our efforts have been erased by our opponents?

To win, only by winning can you prove that your efforts have not been in vain!

Paris Saint-Germain threw the throw-in, which was originally for Simmak, but Chu Zhongtian slammed it out from behind and smashed Paris Saint-Germain full-back Sylvain. Elmand throws the ball forward with the head.

Franck Franck Ribery, who had retreated to receive the ball, was unable to turn around with Paris Saint-Germain defender Yepes behind him.

But he didn't need to turn around, Chu Zhongtian, who finished the ball, did not stop in place, but continued to run forward, and Ribery saw Chu Zhongtian coming up, so he dialed the football sideways to him.

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he continued to dribble the ball diagonally from the middle, and Kana had already caught up from the other side. He quickly caught up with Chu Zhongtian, who knew that he couldn't outrun the opponent with the ball, so he suddenly made an emergency stop, and then turned around with the ball.

He then didn't dwell with Kanna in midfield, taking advantage of the fact that Kanna was temporarily thrown away by himself, he passed the ball to the wing with his right foot.

This time, left wing-back Signorino finally didn't hesitate in the back, but took the initiative to run up. When Chu Zhongtian's football came, he just plugged in and received the ball, and then dribbled forward. Chu Zhongtian, who finished passing the ball, did not pause at all, and he continued to run to the side without the ball, close to Signorino, once Signa Reino could not continue to carry the ball forward, he could pass the ball to him.

PSG's players are scrambling back and they don't want to let Metz score another counter-attacking goal.

The Metz fans in the stands got excited and cheered loudly for the Metz team.

Signorino did not cooperate with Chu Zhongtian, because the "killing machine" Rorick. Kanna was very close to Chu Zhongtian, and he was stuck between the two of them, and if he passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian, he would probably be cut off by the other party. He passed the ball to Oblagnac, who was also on the wing, and then he accelerated forward himself.

Oblagnac was going to pass the ball to him and make a one-two on the wing, but PSG's players defended tightly, with centre-back Pierre Fontaine pressing him and full-back Pishaw following Signorino and no good timing for the pass. A quick attack won't work. He had some regrets and could only control the ball.

Chu Zhongtian also saw that Mace's rapid attack could not be beaten, so he was not in a hurry to run forward, but suddenly braked sharply, turned around and ran back, approaching Oblagnac.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian appear in front of him, Oblagnac passed the football to him without saying a word.

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he turned around and passed the football horizontally to Promang, who came up to pick him up. After passing the ball, he also ran sideways and ran to the other side of Promans. When he was running, Promans didn't have a good way to get the ball out, so he had to turn around and pass the football to the central defender.

In this effort, Paris Saint-Germain's players all returned to defend in place, while Metz pressed the whole team, and the central defenders pressed near the center circle.

David. Carré muttered from the sidelines, "I haven't seen Chu stop and rest." He's always running, running to catch the ball, running after passing, running when defending, and still running when attacking. ”

"He's going to be a midfield tandem." Let. Fernandez answered. "How can you connect if you don't run? You can't just pass the ball. His physicality is his talent, and it's a very important one. Without such good physical strength to support, he would not be able to sit in this position. ”

While the two were talking, Chu Zhongtian asked defender and captain Bobicon to get the ball, Kana thought he was going to pass the ball to the people on the side, and stuck on the route to the side one step ahead, but although Chu Zhongtian faced the defender Aligolo on the side, he passed the ball to Promans in the middle with his heel.

After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to pull horizontally, but suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. And made a gesture to ask Promans to pass the ball to him, he was not afraid of being known by his opponent.

Promans saw him run out of the void and hurriedly sent the ball up.

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he accelerated and brought it forward, and he didn't mean to pass it to anyone. Then, just as he entered the 30-meter area, he slowed down, and Kana, who had been following Chu Zhongtian, and the Paris Saint-Germain players who were blocking him thought he was going to pass the ball...... I didn't expect him to shoot directly with his feet!

The ball flew over the crossbar into the stands at the back, and it didn't look like a high-quality shot, but it made Letiz sweat.

If he held it down...... With that strength, I guess I didn't react...... "Chu Zhongtian shoots-oops!" It's high! He Ping regretfully held his head in the studio.

"Oh-alas!" Chu Zuosheng made the same action as him in front of the TV, and at first raised his hands to cheer for his son's goal, but when he saw the football fly directly off the crossbar, he changed it to holding his head with both hands.

It was his wife Zhou Xiaoxiang who slapped and shouted next to him: "Good ball!" Strike! Later, I realized that something was wrong, my husband didn't cheer...... Although the ball was high, the Metz fans still applauded Chu Zhongtianbao. Because since he broke the throw-in of a Paris Saint-Germain player, Metz has always controlled the football at his feet and did not give Paris Saint-Germain a chance to grab the ball, and all this is thanks to Chu Zhongtian, who constantly runs and catches the ball, and he can appear in any corner.

Even if you don't score, as long as Metz continues to play like this, winning is not a dream!

So the stands sounded "Chu!" again. Clear! Clear!! Cheers.
