Ibisevic's goal gave Metz the aggregate lead, but it didn't leave Bayern Munich in turmoil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info because it's not a big hit. As long as they score another goal to level the score at 2-2, they will be able to rely on the advantage of away goals to eliminate the home team. For a team of Bayern Munich's level, scoring a goal in just over twenty minutes is not too difficult.

They certainly stepped up their offensive, but they didn't take a desperate gamble. The backline is still very careful to keep a few key figures on the line. Van Bommel no longer cared about Menez, and still followed Chu Zhongtian inch by inch. Don't let him pass the ball again.

Chu Zhongtian found that he was in trouble if he wanted to continue to organize the attack, although he knew that the current score Metz was still not safe, but there was nothing he could do. Now that they have just conceded a goal, Bayern Munich's counterattack wave is very ferocious, and it is better to avoid its edge.

In the following time, Metz began to shrink his formation and play defensive counter-attacks. It's not that Fernandez wants to be conservative, it's that the current situation forces him to be conservative.

Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack on the Metz goal after the restart. With Bayern Munich's offensive ability, if it still opens up the opponent at this time, Metz is likely to give away the advantage he just gave. Because Bayern Munich only need one more goal to turn the tide completely, they now have the motivation and ** to score.

Fernandez decided to defend thoroughly for at least five minutes, and if he held on for these five minutes, Bayern Munich's morale would have a drop, and Metz would be attacking and Bayern Munich was tug-of-war. In the last ten minutes of the game, if the score remains unchanged at 2:1, Bayern Munich will inevitably be impetuous, and start attacking aggressively, because they only need one goal to advance, and ten minutes will be a good time for them - too long will greatly increase the chances of being attacked by the opponent, and too short time will not be enough for them. Ten minutes is reasonable.

In this way, when they press hard, Metz will recover appropriately, and then start to use the speed of the two wings to play counter-attacks, as long as the sneak attack is successful, and one more goal is scored, the game is won.

※※※

The game also went according to Fernandes' plan, Bayern Munich attacked wildly for five minutes, found that it was not captured, and Metz's goal stood tall in their heavy artillery fire, because they were afraid that if they continued to attack like this, the opponent would seize the opportunity to counterattack, so they began to recover.

Metz also changed his tactics and pressed out to play against Bayern Munich.

It's just that at this moment, Chu Zhongtian, as the controller of the team's rhythm, is not very enthusiastic about those offenses that need to take a lot of risks. More often than not, both teams are going back and forth in midfield, with the occasional fine attacking play-up, but the forwards on both sides are quick to squander those chances.

As the game ticked into the 80th minute, Heathfield made a gesture on the sidelines, and Bayern Munich decisively switched to an all-out attack.

Not counting stoppage time, they only have ten minutes left.

At the same time, Fernandez also made the decision to make a substitution. He used central defender Pape. Diop replaced Ibisevic, who scored a leading goal for the team, and put Menez in front, Menez is faster than Ibisevic, has good technique, is good at dribbling and breaking, and has strong individual combat ability, which is suitable for counterattacking.

Naturally, the introduction of a centre-back is to strengthen the defence. The three centre-backs can add depth to the defence and avoid penetrating the opposition, while also increasing the number of people in the box and creating problems for players like Franck Ribery to keep him from playing.

When Ibisevic came off the pitch, he heard the applause of the fans.

He has scored 22 goals in the league and UEFA Cup this season, making him the team's top scorer, and Metz has been able to maintain his current level without Ribery, which is inseparable from his consistent performances.

Ibisevic waved to the fans, thanked them for their applause, and then spoke to the head coach Jean. Fernandez hugs.

"You've done a good job, Ibi. Now go and rest. Fernandez patted Ibisevic on the back.

Returning to the bench, Ibisevic high-fived his teammates one by one, and the team took the lead, with only ten minutes to go before advancing to the semi-finals, and everyone was in a good mood.

It's just that the mood of the Metz players on the field will not be so relaxed.

Those ten minutes were nothing short of an ordeal for them.

They will have to keep a clean sheet against Bayern Munich's strong attack in the past 10 minutes, while also waiting for an opportunity to sneak up.

This degree is grasped by Chu Zhongtian. If the chances are not good, he would rather not attack than give up possession easily.

※※※

Ribery stood up front and raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball to him.

Full-back Signorino glanced at him, a team-mate with whom he had played for three years in Metz and now in an unfamiliar shirt and standing against him.

Ribery in front of him suddenly ran away.

He looked around, Bayern Munich passed the football to this side, and Ribery went up to pick it up.

He looked behind him and decided to press forward.

Anyway, there are three central defenders in the penalty area, and they go up by themselves, and one more person is added, and there are two central defenders in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Ribery was about to turn around, but he just happened to bump into Signano Rino, who was pressing up.

Caught off guard, Ribery fell to the ground, and the football was naturally lost.

Signorino hurriedly kicked the soccer ball out of his feet.

Ribery, on the other hand, signaled to the referee on the ground that it was Signorino who had committed a foul.

His move drew a bigger pupil from the Metz fans in the stands.

Signorino was also annoyed by Ribery's move - I didn't foul anyone, can you lie for the sake of the team's victory?

So he leaned down and yelled at Ribery, "Don't pretend, Frank! I don't know who you are? You're best at pranks, but this is the arena! ”

For the current Bayern players, it is already a red-eyed moment, even if there used to be an old friendship, Ribery can't care about it now. Hearing Signorino teach him this, Ribery also retorted with a straight face: "You did kick my ankle." I didn't play pranks! You'd better think through before you speak! ”

The two men were arguing in the back, which did not attract the attention of the players on the field, but it was the Metz fans in the stands who were close to the area where the two men were cursing Ribery.

Metz is organising the attack, while Bayern Munich are retreating.

Ribery conceded the ball up front, which was an opportunity for Chu Zhongtian to exploit, and he received a pass from Signorino and made a collision with Promans, who passed the ball to him and helped him block Van Bommel. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Zhongtian passed the football to the front and gave it to Obertan on the side.

Seeing that the team was in trouble, Ribery didn't care about arguing with Sigono Reino anymore, turned and ran back, while Sigono Rino was waving his arms behind him and chattering.

Nothing more than some "ungrateful", "traitor" and the like. These are no different from the Metz fans in the stands, and there is nothing new to say about them.

Ribery grinned.

His smile has never been pretty, and now he laughs even more hideously.

Ever since he was two years old, he had all kinds of swearing in his ears, ever since he had that damn scar on his face when he was two years old. People called him ugly, called him Quasimodo, called him an idiot, called him a violent man, called him ...... He started fighting people because he was insulted, and now he rarely does that, but he fights back in another way.

※※※

Metz's attack culminated in a free-kick and Menez's close-range shot was unbelievably saved by Kahn. The save was a thrill to the German commentator.

"Karn! Oliver. Kahn! He made a world-class save, which is not easy to make given his age! ”

Metz won a corner and set-pieces up front were a must-take for a team on the defensive as a whole. If you can use this corner kick to score a goal for Bayern Munich, you can completely cut off Bayern Munich's idea of qualifying, and want to score two goals in five minutes? Even Bayern Munich didn't dare to pack tickets.

Once the score is 3-1, the Metz players will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and not have to play the remaining minutes of the game under intense pressure.

With that in mind, Traore and Rodriguez, as well as Diop, who had only played for 80 minutes, ran to Bayern Munich's goal, ready to scramble for a header.

And Chu Zhongtian was also the role of rushing up to the top at this time in the past. Today he did not go up.

He chose to stay behind.

Because he saw that Ribery didn't defend back.

Luca. Toney and Klose, who was substituted after conceding in the second half, both returned to the box, both with excellent header skills, and they could make cameo appearances at centre-back.

When attacking, Bayern Munich is desperate to score, but it doesn't mean that they are useless when defending and don't care about the safety of their goals. In fact, the first condition for advancing is not to score goals, but not to keep conceding goals.

Therefore, Bayern Munich still attaches great importance to the defense of this corner kick.

In this way, Ribery was the only one in front of him, he was not tall, he didn't bounce well, he was not good at heading, and he didn't contribute to the team at all if he went back to goal to defend corners. But he is fast, has good physical fitness, has outstanding skills at his feet, is good at dribbling and breaking, and at the same time has a very good ability to score goals, and has strong individual combat ability, which is the most suitable character for playing fast counterattacks.

In football, set-pieces are often a double-edged sword, both to give themselves the opportunity to score and to be counter-attacked.

Chu Zhongtian knows very well what changes this kind of ball with opportunities for both sides will bring to everyone's mentality.

Franck Ribery must have been planning to use this opportunity to equalise for his team, scoring just one goal to qualify, and the lure of that benefit is just too great.

However, he did not follow Ribery without an inch, because Ribery had one man on the defensive, Signorino.

The full-back didn't contribute much from set-pieces, and he was the one who stayed at the back to defend every corner and free-kick up front.

Chu Zhongtian chose a position, not too far from Ribery, which could not only rush over quickly to support Signorino, but also be able to hold the middle to prevent Bayern Munich from counterattacking with the ball directly from the middle instead of passing the ball to Ribery.

There are not many people who can defend in the back, so he has to think about it.

Ribery wasn't his main target yet, at least not until he received the ball.

Although he has a good chance of receiving the ball.

In fact, Ribery also noticed Chu Zhongtian, the person who had been guarding him was Signorino, and the two had a bit of a conflict before, and there was a quarrel, so Signorino was particularly energetic in guarding Ribery. Ribery didn't take him seriously, he glanced at Chu Zhongtian in the middle lane.

He knew that Chu Zhongtian would go to the door to fight for the top before, but he stayed, and consciously leaned here, needless to say, he knew what he was doing.

He is a Bayern player at the forefront, and Chu Zhongtian must know what he wants to do.

※※※

In the 87th minute, Metz's corner kick was kicked off amid the cheers of the crowd, and the football flew in front of the Bayern Munich goal, like a boulder thrown into the lake, causing an uproar.

Players from both sides collide in an attempt to hit the ball.

It turned out that a pair of hands reached out from the crowd and plucked the soccer ball in the air.

"It's Karn! He hugged the football! ”

"Hurry back to defense!"

The narrators of the two countries also shouted different words.

In fact, without the French commentator's reminder, the Metz players began to run back, and the three central defenders who were all over 1.90 meters tall ran backwards with heavy steps, and other Metz players were also retreating.

They know what happens when the ball falls into the hands of the other team. But not everyone can run out smoothly, the box is full of people, and it always takes time for them to get around the Bayern players in front of them, even if it only takes three seconds, it is enough to change the situation on the field.

Chu Zhongtian almost saw Karn take the ball off the air and began to retreat in small steps.

While the people in the box were still huddled, Karn had already thrown the soccer ball he was holding into the air, then followed with his right leg and kicked it forward with a big kick. Kick off with big feet!

Chu Zhongtian retreated while observing the situation ahead. While Kahn was holding the football, Bayern Munich's penalty area was like a barn with a fence open, and thousands of horses rushed out of it.

Immediately after, the football burst out from behind the crowd, like a missile in the air, piercing the sky.

Of course, the end of this football must not be the sea of stars, it begins to fall downwards when it reaches its apex.

And just as it changed direction and fell, Chu Zhongtian also turned around, no longer retreating in small steps, but rushed towards Ribery in big strides.

He turned around and saw Ribery's back as he was just starting and accelerating.

And Signorino, who was defending him, didn't expect Ribery to suddenly turn around and rush forward without receiving the ball, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't guard against it!

Just as he was stunned, Ribery had slipped away from him.

Damn it!

He turned to chase after him, but it was already slow. He wasn't as fast as Ribery, plus there was a time difference in turning.

By the time he turned to pass, Ribery was already far away. He knows what that means, apart from himself, there is only one goalkeeper in front of him, Ribery can face Humby alone as long as he receives the ball, what is Ribery's personal ability, does he not know as a former teammate? It's so clear!

Just let him face Wambi alone, it's tantamount to a goal!

Just as there was a wave of despair in his heart, another figure passed by him.

He didn't have time to see who it was, but he saw the man's back number - "8"!

The flame of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he stepped forward to chase after him, although it was too late, but there was Chu ...... It shouldn't have reached the point of exhaustion, right?

He looked left and right, Chu Zhongtian went to chase Ribery, he should be waiting in the middle lane...... So he changed direction and handed Ribery to Chu Zhongtian alone.

Ribery turned his head once, but instead of looking at Chu Zhongtian, he looked up at the sky, he was looking at where the football was, and at the same time judging where the football landed.

Seeing Ribery's action, Chu Zhongtian knew that Ribery was about to catch the ball, so he also looked up to confirm the position of the football in the air. As for the judgment of the football landing point, he is world-class, no, or the world's super-class.

Ribery began to slow down, this was Chu Zhongtian's chance to catch up.

In terms of speed alone, he is inferior to Ribery, and if Ribery keeps running at this speed, he has no chance of catching up with Ribery, and can only expect him to slow down himself. Just like when he chased Kaka, Kaka slowed down after passing goalkeeper Umbi before he could get there at the last minute.

So this is also Chu Zhongtian's opportunity. Now he is still five or six meters away from Ribery, although Ribery is slowing down, he does not directly stop and wait for Chu Zhongtian in front, so it is not so easy to catch up.

He gritted his teeth and sped after him.

The football chased down from the air, and the distance between Chu Zhongtian and Ribery had been shortened to the point where the tips of his fingers could touch Ribery's shoulder as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Chu Zhongtian leaned forward, as long as he could grab Ribery's shoulder, he could force him to slow down, and then he could stick to his body, and he could successfully stop Bayern Munich's counterattack.

But just as the tips of his fingers touched Ribery's shoulder, the ball fell in front of Ribery.

Chu Zhongtian saw that Ribery's shoulders were short, his body leaned forward, and he pushed the football in the air out with his head!

Not good!

Chu Zhongtian secretly screamed in his heart when he saw Ribery's action, he already knew what Ribery was going to do. Push the ball forward with his head so that he doesn't have to waste time stopping the ball and doesn't slow it down, but instead accelerates and rushes forward to chase the ball.

This is the last chance, if you don't stop Ribery at this time, once he adds up his speed, it may not be so easy for him to chase again.

He can't guarantee that every opponent will shoot after passing the goalkeeper, and he can't guarantee that every time an opponent shoots, he will appear in front of the goal like a god and then stretch out his feet to clear the ball.

There are no such good things in this world!

After Chu Zhongtian understood Ribery's intentions, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to "stop him"!

As for how to stop it...... Is there an alternative?

He sprang forward, then fell.

Flying shovel!

Ribery had just pushed the ball out with his head, intending to speed up.

In fact, from the moment he suddenly switched from running sideways to running in a straight line, accelerating away from Signorino, he heard an overwhelming boo from the stands. He knew it was the Metz fans booing him, but that would only be his motivation.

He also knew that there was someone chasing him behind him, he didn't know who it was, and it was estimated that it was the guy from Signorino. He never took him seriously, and he still does.

But just as he was pushing the ball out of his head, he heard the boos in his ears change, from boos to ...... Turned into cheers?

Yes, hurray!

Huge hurray!

They are cheering for Chu Zhongtian, no matter when, when the team encounters danger, the person who can stand up to save the team and bring relief to everyone will always be their number eight, Chu!

Ribery had scarcely heard the cheers when he felt himself stumble under his feet, then he lost all his balance, and fell to the ground, because the momentum was so great that he rolled on the ground several times before he could stop the momentum.

He lay on the ground, and he didn't feel any pain in his knees and ankles, except for some pain in the part where he collided with the ground.

Then he looked at the turf.

He saw the Metz player lying on his side on the ground, because he had his back to him, he couldn't see his face, but the number on the shirt was very clear - 8!

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Chu has a foul! It's a back-to-back shovel! ”

"Such a bad foul will definitely not escape a red card!"

The cheers in the stands also stopped, because the fans knew that although their team escaped, Chu Zhongtian was likely to receive a red card for it......

Ribery was still lying on the ground, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him. Chu Zhongtian had already gotten up from the ground, and he also saw the referee running towards him again, and at the same time his hand was reaching out to his chest pocket.

He knew what awaited him.

The opponent is single-handed, and it is very likely to score, and his own side is a goalkeeper in addition to himself, if he does not foul...... According to the rules, a behind-the-back tackle, plus a very likely goal-scoring attack, can't escape a red card.

So instead of trying to defend himself, he turned to look at Ribery, who was still lying on the ground, and walked over.

Walking up to Ribery, he held out his hand to him, "Hey, Frank, I know you're not hurt. ”

Ribery was still a little stunned, he reflexively took the hand handed by Chu Zhongtian, and was mechanically pulled up by Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian patted Ribery on the shoulder and walked down.

Behind him, there was the referee on duty holding up a red card.

and the teammates who surrounded the referee to defend themselves.

And, of course, Ribery, who still hasn't reacted yet.

At that moment, it was as if he was in a dream, he was tackled to the ground from behind by his best friend, and Bayern Munich's best chance of the game was ended in this way......

Chu Zhongtian was the one who finished everything, he used a very obscene foul in exchange for the safety of his goal, and got a red card, and was ejected from the referee. Listen to the applause at the Holy Mountain Furien Stadium, he is like a hero, a real, big hero.

Chu Zhongtian heard the applause in the stands, he looked up, and all the Metz fans stood up from their seats and applauded and thanked him for sacrificing his life to save the day.

He grinned, no matter where he would go next season, at least he would be worthy of the Metz shirt when he was a Metz player.

He stopped, then raised his hands and waved at the Metz fans in the stands who applauded him, then clenched them into fists.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what a player who has been sent off with a red card should do. He was more like he was preaching his victory.

In this game, Metz won!
