"Duda catches the ball...... Pass to Puerta and Puerta crosses directly! Canute - gooooooo!! The Spanish narrator yelled excitedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the pitch in front of him, Canute had just scored Sevilla's second goal of the game with a beautiful lion's head, and he helped his team to take the lead with a score of 2:1!

"Sevilla lead! In the 83rd minute, Sevilla FC scored! Kanoute scored a goal for his 26th regular goal of the season and the first player to score in two consecutive finals since the 1998 UEFA Cup restructuring. ”

Sevilla's players flocked to Canute to celebrate the crucial goal.

Canoute's goal could well prove to be the decisive goal of the game, with less than ten minutes to go, Sevilla are ahead and have one more player than Metz, so winning the game is not a big problem.

In fact, many people were not surprised by Sevilla's goal. On the contrary, it was even more surprising that there was one more man than their opponents who did not take the lead until the end of the game - they thought that Sevilla would be able to easily deal with the ten-man Metz. I didn't expect Mace to be so tenacious.

Juander. Ramos stood up and shook his fist at the team's performance. If he had any dissatisfaction with this goal, there might be only one point - this goal was not launched from the right side, and this goal was not caused by Chu Zhongtian's collapse.

But it's nothing, just score goals. And they can continue to put pressure on Chu Zhongtian's side, maybe they can crush him at the last second in the game's injury time, and score another goal, which will completely lock the victory.

So when the players were celebrating the goal, he grabbed the nearest player on the pitch, Paulsen, and told him: "After the goal, continue to stick to our attack on the right side. ”

Paulsen nodded.

※※※ On the Seville side, Juand. Ramos has thought about what will happen after the goal. Here in Metz, they are still frustrated by conceding the goal.

The Metz players on the pitch were still in disbelief when they saw Canute hit the ball into the goal. They suspected that they had mistaken the fact that Kanute's goal had not gone in, but had deflected wide. Or Kanute was in an offside position before the shot. But no, there was no problem. Sevilla's goal was clean and uncontroversial, far from their first goal, and allowed the French commentator to lash out at the referee's decision. This time, even the French commentator could only weakly announce that Metz had fallen behind in the final minute of the game.

Some people, after reacting that this is an instant reality, raise their hands and hold their heads in pain.

Others stood still, unresponsive.

Others waved their arms vigorously and muttered in their mouths, not knowing whether they were complaining about their teammates or cursing their damn fate.

Let. Fernandes sat in his place, and on the surface, he didn't express any emotion about the goal, he didn't rush out of the dugout, roaring angrily, shaking his head helplessly, and he didn't put his head in his hands in disbelief with an incredible expression.

He sat there, like a wood carving, lifeless.

By his side, David. Carré bent down, elbows over his knees, and pulled his head down with his hands. Fingers are inserted into the thick hair.

The others were no better than Carré.

There was an air of anguish and despair throughout the bench and dugout in Metz.

One less person, after holding on for thirty-seven minutes, finally didn't hold on...... Is the UEFA Cup really going away from us?

Ribery was the one who waved his arms and babbled and complained in his mouth.

He couldn't accept such a result, they were supposed to take the lead, but in the last minute of the game they called the opponent to overtake. He thinks he's done a good job and it's unfair that he can't bring a trophy.

"Damn, that's not how it should be......" he muttered through gritted teeth.

Kanoute's goal drained all the energy of the Metz players, and although the game was not over yet, they were unable to lift their spirits for the rest of the game.

They have one less than their opponents, and they originally wanted to drag it out until the penalty shootout, but now that this hope is shattered, what chance is there if they continue to play?

At this time, Chu Zhongtian's voice sounded.

"It's not over yet, what are you doing!" He rushed into the goal, picked up the football, and shouted at his stunned teammates.

"There are at least ten minutes left in stoppage time, it's too early to give up!" After shouting, Chu Zhongtian ran to the middle circle with the football in his arms, and placed the football on the tee point on behalf of his teammates.

Amid his shouts, some of his teammates woke up, and they all walked to their positions to prepare for kickoff. But there were still people with confused expressions on their faces.

Chu Zhongtian knows that the power of words is limited, and if he wants his teammates to really continue to persevere, he must use practical actions to tell them that they still have hope for life, and don't give up easily.

So he stopped shouting and just waited for the game to restart. In the last ten minutes, he had to fight to the end. In fact, he doesn't know if the team can really create miracles, but he will never give up in advance, never raise his hand to surrender, it is his creed, and he will not throw it away easily.

The Sevilla players returned to the pitch after their frantic celebrations. Everyone had excited smiles on their faces, and they were still high-fives and thumbs up, showing their inner joy in front of the Metz players.

Maybe some of the players in Metz are already giving up, but none of the Metz fans in the stands are giving up. In the team's most critical moments, they made their voices heard.

"Forward, Mace! Forward, Crimson!! ”

"Mesmes! Towards victory! ”

Belmont stood in the crowd and enthusiastically sang along with everyone to cheer for Mace. At this time, the Sevilla fans are much quieter, maybe they think their team has won, so they want to relax, right?

Amid the singing of the Metz fans, the referee blew the whistle for kick-off.

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he made a gesture to ask everyone not to be impatient. After conceding a goal, it is easy to form two thoughts, one is to feel that the game is out of play, and give up on yourself as much as you like, and the other is to rush to equalize. Neither of these was what he wanted.

There is actually a lot of time, at least ten minutes, you must grasp it well, and it is not okay to rush forward and give up on yourself.

Since he has the ball, he has an obligation to control the team's tempo.

Paulsen stood far away, watching Chu Zhongtian get the ball in the backcourt, the two of them were too far apart, as long as Chu Zhongtian was not in the middle line, he would ignore him and let him pass long. The team's air defense is still not weak.

Fabiano rushed forward and made a gesture to break the ball.

Chu Zhongtian made a gesture of passing the ball to the left, Fabiano took a step like that, but Chu Zhongtian's right foot turned the football back, and then started to accelerate and run forward with the ball!

At the same time, he made a gesture to Jayovi who was behind him to rush forward, motioning for him to act with him.

Paulsen was originally trying to defend against Chu Zhongtian's long pass, intending to compete with Ibisevic or someone else for the header. As soon as his body stepped back, he saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly thrust forward!

He hurriedly readjusted his center of gravity and greeted him.

Chu Zhongtian did not entangle with Paulsen in the middle, and he quickly distributed the ball to Yayiovi who was beside him. The kid had already plugged in from behind after seeing his gesture.

Chu Zhongtian, who finished passing the ball, did not stop, or turned around and ran back, but continued to run forward. Knowing what his master was going to do, Jayovi gave the ball away.

Using this simple two-one-one combination, Chu Zhongtian dodged Paulson's frontal interception.

Due to a series of accidents in this game, Chu Zhongtian rarely had the opportunity to attack the front court with the ball. So much so that the Sevilla players almost forgot what kind of person he was.

Ibisevic, Ribery, and Menez did not forget, they saw Chu Zhongtian with the ball, and they were involved in the running position in front, trying to find a vacancy.

Sevilla's players firmly watched the Metz players who were about to move, but temporarily let Chu Zhongtian go.

Paulsen was left behind by Chu Zhongtian, Maresca did not make up for a while, Chu Zhongtian had a short unmarked space, he looked up at the situation in front of him, and found that he had a chance to shoot. Don't hesitate at the moment, just shoot from a distance!

The ball flew past Navarro and towards the goal!

Goalkeeper Palop made a save at the same time as Chu Zhongtian's shot, only to see him fly in the air, his body stretched, his arms extended, and he held the flying football with one palm, and when he lifted it up, the football flew out of the crossbar on the sideline.

"Nice save! Palop had an easy second half, but the save showed his body wasn't chilling! ”

Seeing that the ball he shot was magically resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Chu Zhongtian gritted his teeth.

However, the attack was not forgotten, he told Jaiovi to let him defend in the back, and he ran into the penalty area, ready to fight for the corner.

Ribery kicked the corner kick into the penalty area, and Chu Zhongtian struggled to grab the point, but unfortunately under the sandwich of the other two people, his header was slightly off.

The only effect was to scare the bad-eyed Sevilla fans into a cold sweat.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian's two consecutive goals have caused some trouble for Sevilla, how can the Sevilla players who have just scored and are still on the rise not make some counterattacks?

A minute later, Marti drew Chu Zhongtian's attention on the right side and gave the ball to Alves, who crossed and the ball flew straight to the back corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Humby stepped back to make a save, lifting the ball over the crossbar.

Sevilla FC won a corner kick as well.

The corner was taken by Marti, who sent the ball to the back post and Puerta headed it back near the baseline. Kanute grabbed the goal with a header in front of the goal, but he didn't exert his strength under Chu Zhongtian's interference, and the football was blocked by goalkeeper Wenbi with one hand and flew in the direction where Puerta was. Puerta turned and shot again, but it went high.

Then let's . Fernandes made a substitution. He used Matthew. With Valbuena replacing Signorino with an attacking wing-back at left wing-back, Fernandez's intention was clear – to intensify the attack, even if it was to weaken the defence.

After replacing Signorino, Metz's formation changed from four defenders to three defenders, and Cabo could have played central defender, but he was transferred to the left central defender, on the one hand, taking care of the defense in the middle, and on the other hand, to help Chu Zhongtian.

Juander. Ramos asked the team to attack this way, because he wanted to defeat Chu Zhongtian, but he didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to be defeated, but Signano couldn't bear it, and the huge pressure made his physical consumption increase sharply, and by this time there was already a bit of a posture that couldn't run, if he didn't come down, I was afraid that this side would really be completely broken through by Sevilla, and then a Chu Zhongtian would obviously not be able to cope with a large group of Sevilla players. Fernandes doesn't think Sevilla will give up on attacking, a one-goal lead is not safe, and there is still time, the opponent will definitely continue to attack. Look at the litany of opportunities.

Cabo didn't come under much pressure throughout the game and had some energy left to deal with Sevilla's breakthrough.

Matthew. Valbuena came on to play left wing-back and Menez reverted to the shadow striker position.

Fernandez then replaced the exhausted Ibisevic with the fast Jura, so that all three substitutions were used up, and Fernandez was a desperate gamble.

※※※ "It seems that they are all offensive players......" The Wimbledon fans in the stands are only familiar with Chu Zhongtian, as for what the roles of Valbuena and Jura are, they don't know, but looking at the position of the two people after running on the field, they guessed that it should be offensive players.

"Of course, it's all at this time, if you don't change the offensive players to fight, when will you go?"

"Do you really want to lose?"

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense! Don't forget, Mace still has Chu! That kid won't give up until the last second! ”

"That's right! And Chu! ”

"Cheer him on! Cheer him on! ”

The fans were clamoring for noise.

Then quite a few people turned their heads to look at the leader standing on it, John. Colin.

He nodded to everyone and pulled out the megaphone: "Sing, guys!!" ”

With less than four minutes to go until the end of the 90-minute game, Sevilla still dominated the field, and Valbuena and Jura, who had just been replaced by Metz, did not even touch the ball.

However, Chu Zhongtian's side continued to withstand Seville's offensive. Signorino went down, and Cabo is a central defender again, and it is impossible to really pull to the side to defend, so it is actually Chu Zhongtian who is in charge.

At the same time, he still has an old injury in his thigh that has not yet healed, and he has been running non-stop throughout the game, and he has gradually aggravated the injury unconsciously, but now he is highly concentrated and cannot be noticed for a while.

Chu Zhongtian's breath is quite even, and his physical fitness is no problem, but in the face of the current predicament, no matter how good his physical fitness is, it is useless. Unless he can dribble the ball from his own penalty area to the opponent's eleven people, in the football into the empty goal, but he doesn't have such great ability, he is not Maradona, nor Pele, he is just Chu Zhongtian, a skill is not mature, only an ordinary midfielder with excellent passing.

What to do? And what to do?

The football went out of boundary, and his teammates ran to the caddie to ask for the football, but Chu Zhongtian himself stood in place, looking around, and was a little dazed in his heart. He doesn't want to admit defeat in advance, but it's not a matter of wanting to or not, if you don't admit defeat, you have to have a way, what is the method?

Is this really the end of it? Did I miss my closest chance to win the UEFA Cup?

He felt unwilling.

Suddenly, he heard a faint singing voice from the stands, the lyrics he couldn't hear clearly, but the melody was familiar. Jovi's "its_my_life"!

Who would sing this song on the pitch?

It's his folks at Wimbledon!

The singing is getting louder and louder, and the lyrics are getting clearer.

"This is not a song for the cowardly!"

"Because we're not singing to cowards!"

"He's different from all living beings!"

"You're going to hear his name."

"Let's shout out loud—"

“its_my_chu――！！”

The singing came to his face, Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists, and he felt the strength return.

My guys, you guys came to see my game, how could I let you down?

It's not over yet, calm down...... Always find a way to fight back.

Daniel. Alves' assists are becoming more frequent and rampant, and it is clear that he did not take Mace's counter-attack to heart.

It's a place that can be used, but how?

*※※ Emily, who was in the VIP box, also heard the singing from the stands diagonally below, and when she heard it clearly, she laughed. Then he hummed along. There were other people beside her, but she didn't care, as if no one was around, singing this Chu Zhongtian hymn that could evoke countless good memories for her.

As the game on the pitch drew to a close, the fourth official walked to the sideline with an electronic card as a signal for injury time.

He held up a sign that showed four minutes.

There was a burst of boos from the Metz fans, who felt that the time was too short.

It's seven minutes before the game really ends.

In those seven minutes, if Metz can't equalise, they will say goodbye to the trophy. Chu Zhongtian's insistence on playing will also become meaningless, and Sevilla will become the first team to defend the UEFA Cup in two decades, and they will be worshipped. And what about Mace? It will serve as a foil for the champion and as a green leaf to set off the safflower.

Emily sings and sees her lover running around the court, reaching for the ball.

When he received the ball into the opposition half, he was brought to the ground by Poulsen and the ball was lost.

Emily stopped singing and, like the rest of the Metz fans, slammed up from her seat and yelled at the stadium, "He should be sent off!!" ”

The referee didn't say anything, just signaled for Metz to take a free-kick.

Chu Zhongtian didn't lie on the ground and couldn't get up, he had to wait for the referee to show Paulsen a second yellow card, he almost jumped up from the ground, and then quickly sent the ball out, and Metz launched a new round of offensive.

A minute has passed in the meantime.
