A second-tier team game exposed all the problems that Chu Zhongtian had never cared about before, and the next step was to solve these problems.

After discussing with Fernandez, Coach Tadio adjusted Chu Zhongtian's training plan and became Chu Zhongtian's coach again. Chu Zhongtian has now begun to practice with the first team, and now most of the time they practice once a day, but every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, Chu Zhongtian has to come to the training base to receive a training session specially prepared for him, and if the team itself plans to practice twice a day, he will train with the team.

In addition, every time there is a second-tier team game, Chu Zhongtian will go to participate, and he is the only player in the first team who participates in every second-tier league game. While other first-team players only went to the game for the purpose of adjusting their condition, Chu Zhongtian wanted to use the second-tier league to adapt to the professional league as soon as possible.

In every game, Tadio will appear on the sidelines of the game, carefully observe and record Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game, and then compile it into a game report and hand it over to the first team manager Jean. Fernandez.

From these competition reports, people with a heart can see Chu Zhongtian's growth trajectory.

But in fact, for Chu Zhongtian, the most intuitive change came from his side, when his French level continued to improve, when he began to train with his teammates, he finally felt that the team was not so alone.

It must be pointed out that the team of Metz is very young, and every year the team goes to the second team to select a group of players to add to the first team. There are a lot of young people in the team, and since they are young people, they don't have so many old players who are sleek and sophisticated. So when Chu Zhongtian had in-depth contact with them, he found that this group of French and Senegalese players was quite cute. Maybe some people looked down on his ability at first, but when he slowly played in the reserve team, this prejudice slowly disappeared - at least Chu Zhongtian was able to play in the reserve team, which proved that he was not useless.

Many players like to play the Pro Evolution Soccer series on PS2 consoles. Chu Zhongtian hadn't played this game much before, although he had always heard of the name of this game, but he didn't have the conditions before, either because he wanted to learn or because he didn't have the money to buy a game console. When he always saw his teammates playing together, he was also addicted, and later simply took out his salary to buy a PS2 game console and put it in his apartment. Now he comes back to the apartment every day from training, and when he's not learning the language, he plays Pro Evolution Soccer for a while.

Now practice at home, and then go to fight with his teammates, so as not to lose too much and all kinds of strange punishments will make him unbearable.

Because we are all professional players, competition is everywhere, even if the relationship is good, there is competition in training and games. Therefore, to play a football game, it is also necessary to introduce a competition mechanism. Otherwise it's too boring. Those who lose the game must be punished, and as for the content of the punishment, there are all kinds of punishments. From the least lethal of buying things for someone who won a game, to stripping off your clothes and running naked in the locker room, and even worse, if you lose a game on a console, you have to play without underwear in the official game...... It's really impossible to do it, and there is nothing unexpected.

Frank. Ribery's Scarface is the most playful guy in the book, and he came up with many of the tricksters. Now those comments in the media don't affect his mood very much, the media has no interest in continuing to criticize a nobody, that would be too cheap, and Ribery doesn't care about those voices anymore, anyway, let. Coach Fernandez still trusts him, and he has a good friend Chu Zhongtian - not his "roots", but his friend.

"Hey, Chu!" Ribery's peculiar pronunciation rang out again. Chu Zhongtian was changing clothes for today's training when he raised his head and glanced at Ribery.

"What's the matter, Frank?"

Ribery's pronunciation is characteristic, but even more characteristic is his flawed grammatical conventions. Chu Zhongtian's French teacher, Miss Mathilde, warned Chu Zhongtian many times: "Don't learn Ribery's French. ”

Chu Zhongtian looked at the very serious teacher and felt strange - why should I go to learn Ribery's ** language when I have nothing to do...... "The day after tomorrow, we are going to Marseille, Marseille!" Haha, Marseille! Ribery sang the Marseille March in the dressing room. He was showing off to Chu Zhongtian that he could participate in the first-team game, and Chu Zhongtian could only watch TV at home, and at the same time, he had to play a second-tier game two days later.

Chu Zhongtian had already figured out Ribery's temper, he just liked to joke, but he didn't have any malicious intent. So he smiled and nudged Ribery. "You wait for Frank, you'd better walk around me at the next team training game."

Chu Zhongtian's serious attitude when he was training was already well-known in the Metz team. Just a week ago, he also gave Ribery, who likes to break through and show off his footwork, in training, and knocked Ribery to the ground for a long time before he recovered. He didn't mean to hurt his rivals in training, he just felt that he didn't have any advantage at the moment, and if he didn't work hard in training, he probably wouldn't be able to get the approval of head coach Fernandes. However, his desperate posture made many teammates quite afraid of him on the field.

Ribery stuck his tongue out at him.

"I'm not afraid of you, Chu! I've recently learned a new trick, so I'll try it if I have the ability! He gave him a thumbs down. Then he threw up his hands and shouted, "All right, brothers! I made a bet with Chu that if he could stop me in the match, I would play without my underwear in the match against Marseille! ”

"Oooooooo A group of young people shouted excitedly, and the older players just shook their heads helplessly, helpless about the player that the manager liked.

"What if he can't stop it, Frank?" Someone asked.

"That's when he competes without panties on the 30th!"

Ribery looked back at Chu Zhongtian and looked at him.

Chu Zhongtian didn't understand what Ribery said before, he only understood the word "bet". But he's not afraid to bet that he's still happy to play this competitive game.

The last part of the training was a skirmish within the team, where Ribery and Chu Zhongtian were placed on different teams and happened to be opponents. After seeing this grouping, everyone laughed. The assistant coach in charge of the grouping, David Brown. Carré looked up at the young players in confusion, not understanding what was so funny.

Behind him, Ribery was frowning at Chu Zhongtian.

After the confrontation began, Ribery took the initiative to find Chu Zhongtian for trouble as soon as he got the ball.

Fernandez looked strange below-when Ribery was looking for Chu Zhongtian, none of the players from the first team with Chu Zhongtian stepped forward to help defend, and the players from the first team with Ribery did not pull and run on the side, they were all in place and watched the two of them go heads-up.

It's not the same as usual...... "Do you want to stop the game, talk about it?" Tadio also saw the problem, and he asked next to him.

Fernandez shook his head: "Let's observe first." ”

Ribery lowered his dribbling speed after approaching Chu Zhongtian, and then turned his back to Chu Zhongtian.

Just when Chu Zhongtian thought that he was reducing his speed to control the ball and observe, and then preparing to pass the ball, Ribery turned his back to him and gently knocked the football behind him with his right foot, and then turned around again, this time his left foot flicked the football that came over with his right foot after making a supporting foot!

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Ribery to complete the turn so quickly, and his movements were so well connected, Ah reacted a beat slower, and then stretched out his foot but pounced. Ribery had deftly crossed his body and caught up with the ball to complete the breakthrough!

Breaking through Chu Zhongtian is equivalent to forming a breakthrough in the middle lane. Franck Ribery fired a powerful shot and the ball flew into the net from the right.

A group of young players whistling and applauding, and these players, who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, are Ribery's "henchmen". The boss performed well, so naturally he had to support him vigorously.

Ribery, who scored the goal, ran to Chu Zhongtian and took off his pants to him. Then he stretched out his index finger and kept making circles. "Are you dizzy, Chu?"

"It's not over yet, Frank." After being teased by Ribery, Chu Zhongtian was ready to fight back.

※※※When Ribery took the ball to Chu Zhongtian again, Chu Zhongtian was ready to prevent him from turning and breaking through, and he moved himself to the outside line of Ribery one step ahead to prevent him from repeating his old tricks and breaking through from here. Unexpectedly, Ribery just dangled a shot, although his back was to Chu Zhongtian, he did not turn around with his right foot, but directly used his left foot to turn the football to the middle, and he rushed through the passage that Chu Zhongtian gave him.

Fernandes has a general idea of what the two guys on the pitch are doing after seeing those two one-on-ones off the pitch.

He laughed.

He's not against the players doing something in training that he hasn't done before. He is even happy to see this kind of competition with competitive interest.

"Don't worry, Francis. It's a little game among young people. He waved his hand.

Ribery, past Chu Zhongtian, completed another shot, but this time he shot directly high.

Ribery, who had hit the plane, was not annoyed by this, he turned around and stretched out two fingers to Chu Zhongtian: "It's 2:0, Chu!" Break my balls, I can't wait! Aha! ”

Chu Zhongtian gradually put away the smile on his face, and he was about to get serious.

Although Ribery is his friend, this is not a reason why he can tolerate losing again and again. Even if you're number one in the world, I don't want to lose!

Watch out, my friend!

※※※ Ribery came with the ball again, Chu Zhongtian waited for Ribery to just slow down and turn his back to himself this time, so he rushed up and Ribery had a "front chest against the back", Ribery had no room for him to do this when he wanted to turn around again, because Chu Zhongtian's feet had already hit his heels.

Ribery didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to step forward so quickly, he planned to force a turn, but the person fell to the ground, and the football was left at Chu Zhongtian's feet.

"Ahaha!" Some teammates who were not Ribery's "followers" laughed when they saw Ribery's embarrassment lying on the ground. "Whose is this?"

"I think it was the Chinese boy who won, Mr. Carré didn't blow the whistle, he didn't foul!"

"2:1! Frank! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who won Ribery once, smiled and pulled Ribery up.

"Hell......" Ribery muttered, turning and running away.

Soon, when Ribery's red team attacked with the ball, he raised his hand in front of him to ask for the ball, "Pass it to me, brother!" ”

After passing the ball to Ribery's teammates, he shouted, "Go for him, boss!" ”

"It was just an accident last time!"

Ribery dribbled the ball to Chu Zhongtian for the fourth time.

This time, he didn't plan to use the action of turning around and knocking the ball and then plucking the ball to Chu Zhongtian, because he couldn't see his movements with his back to Chu Zhongtian. He planned to have a "head-to-head showdown" with Chu Zhongtian.

One on a bicycle, two on a bicycle.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the ball, he stared at Ribery's center of gravity, when he saw Ribery make an emergency stop, it seemed that he was going to pluck the ball to the left, he also moved there, but as soon as he raised his foot, he saw Ribery dialing the ball to the right side of the completely opposite!

Chu Zhongtian suddenly changed his movements, and suddenly twisted his waist and rushed in the direction of the football. At the same time, Ribery took a big step to catch up with the football, and seeing that he did not completely get rid of Chu Zhongtian, he stretched out his right foot and buckled the football back!

It was no longer possible for Chu Zhongtian to move in parallel, he could only turn around and go around to block Ribery.

After Ribery dunked the ball, he didn't break through immediately after, because in the previous confrontation with Chu Zhongtian, he already knew that this Chinese boy had a good explosiveness, and he was not slow to turn around, and if he dribbled the ball in a straight line, the result would be to hit Chu Zhongtian headlong.

After smashing the ball, he saw Chu Zhongtian turn around, so he turned the ball back to the right side.

continuously changed direction to smash the ball, and the general opponent was already dizzy under his combination punch. But Chu Zhongtian didn't.

As soon as he turned around and turned his back to Ribery, his instinct suddenly told him that Ribery had not broken through as he had hoped, but had flipped the ball back. So Chu Zhongtian turned halfway and twisted his body back...... Ribery didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to discover his movements halfway through, and he happened to kill together.

Chu Zhongtian relied on his physical advantage to squeeze Ribery away a little, stretched out his foot and inserted it, and pushed the football away.

"Wow!" Coach Tadio couldn't help but praise after seeing this series of offense and defense off the field. "It's beautiful!"

The teammates who were watching next to them also whistled and slapped their hands to cheer for the wonderful performance of the two people.

But for Chu Zhongtian and Ribery in the duel, this duel is not over yet.

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to lose anything, but Ribery didn't want to really play without underwear...... After Ribery saw that the football was stabbed away by Chu Zhongtian, he did not stop, but accelerated to catch up. He saw a teammate in front of his running route and quickly waved him out of the way.

Then he rushed over and stepped on the football, brushing the body of his teammate to complete a beautiful Marseille slalom.

Chu Zhongtian didn't give up and chased after him. The two men chased from the middle to the wing, the football was still under Ribery's control, and it cannot be said that he had failed.

Ribery suddenly became excited, this was the confrontation he wanted! He didn't give up, and his opponent didn't give up either, and it won't end unless you completely shake him down and break through him!

He'd forgotten all about the bets, and now he just wanted to win.

His blood boiled.

He pulled the ball back two small steps, and then hooked his hand at Chu Zhongtian: "Come on!" ”

Then he slammed the ball forward and broke forward against the sideline. Ribery's speed is fast, in terms of speed alone, Chu Zhongtian can't compare to Ribery, but he has a positional advantage, as long as he gets stuck on the inside line, just follow along, don't let Ribery go too far, this scarface doesn't want to go around in front of him.

Ribery also found that he couldn't run like this all the time, and he was about to reach the bottom line, although it was okay to create a corner. But in this way, at least it shows that he did not win the duel with Chu Zhongtian.

I don't accept anything other than getting past him completely!

Ribery made a sudden stop, intending to shake Chu Zhongtian off.

Chu Zhongtian almost stopped at the same time as Ribery, and then turned around at the same time.

Ribery didn't expect Chu Zhongtian's reaction to be so fast, and after a little hesitation, he was completely separated by Chu Zhongtian, and the ball was naturally lost...... The whistle and applause sounded again, and the two men fought from the left to the middle, and then to the right, and finally decided the winner.

Of course, it was Chu Zhongtian who won.

※※※ "Good job. Fernandez exclaimed after seeing Chu Zhongtian's performance.

"Based on what I've observed in the second tier league, this should be his true level defensively." Tadio said. He is the person who has been in contact with Chu Zhongtian for the longest time in the coaching staff, and he is also the person who knows Chu Zhongtian best.

"Defensively good, but ......," Fernandes muttered, "it's just a waste of his talent to defend...... Let's let him continue to train in the second division for a while. ”

Tadio nodded.

※※※“2：2！ Chu Zhongtian raised two fingers at Ribery.

"Hey, you wait!" Ribery pointed at him and glared.

In the final match, Ribery lost to Chu Zhongtian 4:5 and also lost the gamble. Ribery's technique is excellent and his speed is also very fast, but Chu Zhongtian's strong intuition played a crucial role in this competition, and several times Chu Zhongtian predicted Ribery's movement route in advance, and cut the ball off later, it seems to be very easy, there is no technical content, but only professionals know what Chu Zhongtian's easy break of the ball means.

The teammates didn't care so much, and as soon as the game was over, they surrounded the two of them and said, "Oh! Frank! You've lost! ”

Ribery raised his hand: "Okay, okay, willing to gamble and lose." I won't wear panties for the game the day after tomorrow! ”

"If you score, I'll take your pants off, Frank!"

The teammates burst out laughing.

Chu Zhongtian stood beside him and laughed with them. He felt like he was fitting in little by little to the team, and all thanks to that "Scarface" Frank. Ribery ......
