Chapter 157: Left and Right

readx;

Navas slowly ran back, ready to get involved in the defense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Actually, he doesn't have to go back at all, because it won't be long before the ball is passed to the front again by his teammates, and he has to be involved in the attack. Running back and forth like this is really physically draining. But who calls Keylor Navas a responsible player? Whenever he sees an opponent attacking, he can't help but run back to help defend.

Metz did not invest much in this attack, counting Ibisevic is three men. Chu Zhongtian didn't go past half the court, but just launched an attack with a long pass in the back. Sevilla FC easily ended Metz's attack, then they went on the offensive and the football was quickly passed to Keylor Navas's side.

Marti controlled the football, didn't rush forward, in fact he wasn't good at dribbling and speed, he controlled the ball, waiting for Navas and Alves to press up.

Yayiovi defended him in front, and Chu Zhongtian dragged behind, assisting the wing defense.

When Navas saw Marti and knew he was waiting for him, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Known for his speed, he quickly ran into position, and Marti tangled with Jaiove for a while before passing the football to him.

Seeing Navas receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian forced up.

Facing Chu Zhongtian, Navas wanted to break through by himself. Because to continue to put pressure on Chu Zhongtian, it is obviously not enough to rely on a simple pass. After these seventy minutes of play, he and Alves both realized that in the competition of physical strength, this kid has an overwhelming advantage, and if he wants to crush Chu Zhongtian, he can only keep one-on-one with him, constantly change direction to accelerate the emergency stop and change direction, so as to put pressure on his strained left leg, and at the same time can also induce him to foul.

Chu Zhongtian has been very careful in the past 70 minutes, and he has not received a yellow card until now, and Navas is very unwilling.

At the very least, let this kid eat a card first, so that he can be timid and scruple in the next defense.

As soon as he knocked the ball out and started it on his own, he felt that something was wrong - the same feeling as before. His physical energy was exhausted, so he couldn't do all kinds of acceleration and change of direction.

Seeing that Chu Zhongtian was about to break the ball again, Navas hurriedly stretched out his foot and shoveled the football forward, and Chu Zhongtian stabbed it in the air!

He shoveled the ball to the front, giving Alves the chance to sprint to catch the ball.

Chu Zhongtian threw down Navas and rushed towards Alves. The two men were entangled, and Alves saw that he couldn't break through this difficult opponent smoothly, so he passed the football back to Navas.

Keylor Navas is not looking for a breakthrough now, he knows he doesn't have the strength to do so. Continuously dribbling the ball to accelerate and change direction, although it can put a lot of pressure on Chu Zhongtian, but at the same time, his physical energy is also consumed a lot.

He looked at Chu Zhongtian, who was forced back up, and sighed helplessly in his heart-why are they all human, and his physical strength is so abundant? The whole race was constantly mobilized by himself and Alves, shuttling back and forth, and almost all of them were sprint switchbacks, but there was no physical exhaustion at all...... He passed the ball back to Alves, and Signorino leaned in.

Chu Zhongtian was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Navas's physical strength.

Because of the foul that Navas committed to himself just now, if it had been changed before, he would not have been able to get stuck so easily. This time was also the time when he was going to break through with the ball, but he switched to passing the ball immediately after knocking the ball out, and he was very embarrassed under his own pressing. If it weren't for the physical problem, Chu Zhongtian couldn't think of what the reason would be to choose to pass the ball when he could break through.

Chu Zhongtian didn't think that he would be able to prevent Navas's breakthrough every time. He and Navas fought for 70 minutes, and the two won and lost each other, and neither could say that they could completely suppress the opponent.

When I think of Navas's strange breath, I will feel uncomfortable, restless, unable to eat and sleep well after leaving my hometown for two days...... Chu Zhongtian was sure that his homesickness had affected his state and also affected his physical fitness.

In that case...... Then he is no threat to himself. Thinking of this, Chu Zhongtian ran to Alves and sandwiched Alves with Signorino.

Alves saw Chu Zhongtian running over to defend himself again, there was no one on Navas's side, and he wanted to pass the ball over again, but when he saw Navas gasping for breath and looking tired, he knew that his teammates had no physical strength.

I had to force myself to do it.

With Chu Zhongtian and Signorino letting go, the best result of his forced breakthrough was to earn a corner for Sevilla - his cross hit Signorino's body and bounced off the bottom line.

The Sevilla players went to take a corner, and it was at this point that the referee signaled them to wait and make a substitution on the sidelines.

Navas looked up and saw Maresca next to the fourth official, holding up a sign showing his number, and he was replaced.

Keylor Navas didn't want to be substituted, and in such an important game, the two sides were only drawn, and he felt that the team needed his help.

But his physical strength ...... At the thought of this, Navas felt very unwilling.

He held back his dissatisfaction and walked off the field slowly. He knew he had to follow the manager's instructions no matter how reluctant he was. What is the use of a full-back who can't break through with the ball?

Maresca waited for Navas to come down, hugged him and then raced to the pitch.

Navas, who was substituted, did not leave immediately, but turned to look at the field, and he saw Chu Zhongtian. The man wore the captain's armband and stood out in the crowd.

It's a shame that there's no way to defeat the opponent personally.

Navas clenched and released his fists before turning and walking to the bench. Head coach Juander. Ramos stood there and hugged him.

"You've done a good job, Jesus." He said to Navas.

Navas whispered, "Thank you." ”

Then he sat back to his actions, put a towel over his face, and rested on the back of his chair, gasping for breath.

※※※ Maresca came on to bring the latest instructions from manager Sergio Ramos. He switched places with Marti, who went to the right wing to replace Keylor Navas as a right wing-back, and he had experience as a right midfielder, so let him go. Maresca, on the other hand, plays as a midfielder.

"Keep putting pressure on him!" Maresca pointed to Chu Zhongtian and said to his teammates that this was Ramos' most important instruction. The team did not give up on Chu Zhongtian's side as the main direction of attack because of Navas's downfall.

Although so far, under the impact of Navas and Alves, Chu Zhongtian still has not made any serious mistakes, but the Sevilla players believe that sooner or later this Chinese will have problems. Ramos knows this in his heart, and he is not in a hurry. You must know that Cannavaro collapsed in the last ten seconds of overtime.

Chu Zhongtian wants to thank Juander. Ramos, because he replaced himself with one of the most dangerous players, made the pressure on himself a lot less.

Marti was brought in as a right wing-back and it wasn't a big deal for him. Before Marti also came to the right side to help, after Chu Zhongtian's observation, it was found that this is a player who is good at passing but not good at dribbling and breaking through, although such a player is a greater threat to the whole team, but the pressure on Chu Zhongtian is not as good as Navas.

A player who is good at breaking through can freeze the opponent on his own. A person who can pass the ball, defending is not his own business.

At the same time, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Originally, the sky was gloomy during the day today, and the weather forecast has been saying that it will rain from light to moderate today, but I didn't expect the day to pass before the rain fell.

Hampton Park has good underground drainage and turf, so light rain doesn't pose any threat to the pitch. The players were not affected by the rain.

Alves continued to provide assists again and again, and even though Menez was always ready to take advantage of the space behind him, he only asked Navarro and Paulsen to fill in for him. Especially Poulsen, anyway, Chu Zhongtian didn't pass half the half when he attacked Metz, and Menez no longer appeared in the middle of the midfield, Poulsen, the midfielder, had more opportunities to go to the side to make up for the defense.

This time, Alves didn't go down after taking the ball, but suddenly cut inside and led sideways to the middle.

Jayovi rushed up and sent Alves to the ground, and the referee awarded Sevilla a free-kick about twenty-eight metres from the fans. Alves took the penalty himself, high over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, when Marti waited for Alves to rush up again, attracting the attention of Chu Zhongtian and others, he did not pass the football to Alves, but suddenly shifted the football to the left side with a big foot, and broke through after Adriano on the left received the ball. He collided with Ribery, and in this collision, Adriano was hit by Ribery and injured his ribs and was unable to continue the game.

Juander. Ramos had to replace Adriano with Duda.

At this time, there were thirteen minutes left before the end of the game, and there was not much time left. With one man less, Metz were held down in the half by Sevilla, but if they can take the game to penalties, the numerical disadvantage can be ignored, and now it looks like they are getting closer to that goal, with only 43 minutes to go.

Duda, who had just come on the pitch, was very active, and after breaking into the box on the wing, he opted for a cross. Fabiano suddenly stepped forward in the ribs to shoot, but unfortunately the ball went high.

This shot frightened the Metz fans, and then many people reacted that their clothes were wet, and they didn't know whether they were wet from the rain or sweat.

Fabiano, who had wasted this opportunity, covered his face with his hands and looked very frustrated.

However, Sevilla did not stop there, on the contrary, they worked harder as the end of the game approached. It's a shame to have one more person than your opponent and not be able to beat your opponent in a regular game! That's what all the Sevilla players think.

※※※ All TV screens watching this match show the latest score and time of this match:

1:1, 80th minute.

Many people have just come to their senses - only 10 minutes until the end of the 90-minute game?

Juander. Ramos got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He hopes his team can finish the game in ninety minutes. His team put pressure on Chu Zhongtian for eighty minutes, and according to his thoughts, Chu Zhongtian's collapse was only a matter of these ten minutes...... Therefore, Sevilla's offensive is still mainly concentrated on the right flank.

Before Fabiano's scramble from the ribs of the box went high, there were attacks on the left, but none of them created any good chances. On the right flank, with Keylor Navas and Alves, there are often a lot of dangerous crosses. It's just that Canute was firmly targeted by Traore, and Fabiano's goalmouth grab was unsatisfactory, so Sevilla kept scoring.

Therefore, it is not that Sevilla assist on the right side, their left side attack is completely gone, there are the same, and there are a lot, but the rotation rate and threat rate, the left side is much less than the right side. Because it doesn't often appear on TV footage, it inevitably gives the impression that Sevilla's attack on the left flank has completely disappeared.

Metz's defensive focus is also focused on Alves' side, and on the other side where Duda and Puerta are located, only two people are relied on to deal with Jaiove and Cabo, and many times Cabo has to make up for the middle and make a cameo as a central defender.

Metz's defense on the left was very weak.

Smart players will judge the situation, although the head coach asked them to put pressure on Chu Zhongtian all the time, but he didn't say that as long as he got the ball, he would pass to the right side, and the left side still needed it.

Maresca has been watching, and he thinks that if he suddenly moves to the left in frequent attacks on the right, he may get good results. Duda's pass to Fabiano was a testament to that.

So he began to take a closer look, thinking in his mind when it would be better to transfer the football to the past.

※※※ In the eighty-second minute, Mace got a chance to counterattack. Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to Ribery, who took the ball and then crossed to Ibisevic. After drawing the attention of the opposition defence in the middle, Ibisevic suddenly distributed the ball to the ribs, Menez rushed up and received the ball without anyone!

"This is Metz's chance, Menez face Palop one-on-one!" The narrator shouted.

The Metz fans in the stands burst into loud cheers.

"Menez shoot!" They shouted.

The Sevilla fans gasped collectively - should we be conceded a goal in the last ten minutes when we were besieging the opposition's half?

Menez made a direct push into the far corner against the attacking Palop, but instead of eating his set, Palop leaned down to pounce on the ball at Menez's feet.

Seeing that Palop was not fooled, Menez pulled the ball diagonally forward with his right foot, right in front of Palop's fingers, and then kicked out with his left foot, and his right foot pushed the ball away again!

Palop has completely fallen to the ground and can't do anything about football!

Menez circled Palop like this, and now there was no one in front of him, he was just facing an empty goal with a small angle!

Menez lifted his left foot and prepared to shoot. As soon as he gets the ball in, Metz will take the lead again and Sevilla's entire game will be in vain!

It was at this moment that he felt his right foot slip...... There was no way to regain his balance anymore because his left foot was already out.

Because the support foot slipped, Menez shot the football into the sky!

"Menez Menez Menez Shot - The Ball Hit High ......" The commentator fully mobilized his emotions, but he didn't expect this result.

20,000 Metz fans hugged their heads and sighed.

Unbalanced, Menez fell to the ground and watched the ball fly towards the stands, angrily grabbing a piece of turf and throwing it towards the goal.

It's like that's football.

Not to mention the commentators, there is no player and coach in Metz who does not regret this attack. Originally, Fernandez and Carré and others were ready to cheer for the goal, and being able to shake off Palop was equivalent to scoring a goal, but they didn't expect that in the most difficult place, Menez tilted his body and shot the ball away.

Everyone's hearts that had just been lifted fell violently, bringing a deep sense of loss.

Chu Zhongtian was going to raise his arms to cheer for the goal, but in the end, the football did not fly into the goal, but flew off the crossbar, which made him wave his hand vigorously in annoyance.

With one less person, I have persevered until now, and I really don't know how long the whole team can last. It would have been great if that goal had been scored, at least the team would have the confidence and motivation to keep going.

What now...... His Mace teammates all bowed their heads and were very frustrated.

While the Metz players were still frustrated and frustrated that Menez's ball was missed, Sevilla had already attacked.

Maresca received the ball and looked left and right. Marti was asking for the ball, Alves was also plugging in at high speed, and although he almost missed the ball just now, the Brazilian had no intention of reflecting at all and continued to go his own way.

He also noticed that the entire Metz team's defensive focus was tilted towards Alves and Marti.

This is a great opportunity!

He no longer hesitated and shifted the long ball to the left, where Duda received the ball. Puerta, meanwhile, has also stepped in from the left-back position.

Duda attracts the attention of both Jayovi and Kabo. He made a gesture to break through the ribs, but passed the ball to Puelta, who was on the side.

After receiving the ball, Puerta did not continue to go down, but directly crossed with his feet!

Metz didn't expect Puelta's cross to be so resolute and looked ill-prepared defensively.

Canute leaps high in the air and shakes his head before Rodriguez and Traore!

Puerta's ball was a great pass, close to the goal, but there was an outward spinning arc that made goalkeeper Woobi dare not rush to attack. Now he can only watch Kanute flick his head at goal just five metres from goal.

The ball flew in the direction behind Kanoute, and goalkeeper Wambi struggled to save too late, and the ball had already flown over the goal line and crashed into the side-netting......
