At half-time, Fernandes realistically praised Chu Zhongtian's performance, and then criticized Promans, because Promans had a completely unnecessary foul that caused them to play 11 in the second half, and one less person in an ordinary game would make the team struggle, let alone a derby.

In the face of the manager's criticism, Promans did not defend himself. Now that he thinks about it, he also feels that he was too impulsive at the time. Chu was already defending the other party, and he didn't need to go up to join in the fun at all...... I really don't know what happened at the time, maybe it was the derby that gave him an adrenaline rush, and he didn't care about anything, just wanted to make the other party suffer.

After a few words of criticism of Promans, Fernandes did not dwell on his foul end. The priority now is not to babble about the person who made the mistake, but to find a way to remedy the mistake.

'In the second half we defended and aimed for a draw. Coach Fernandes set the tone for Metz's play in the second half.

When Chu Zhongtian heard the head coach say this, his brows furrowed slightly.

It was the last thing he wanted to hear - he felt that he was okay with sticking to the end of the first half, after all, it was almost half-time and there was no need to concede a goal in the final moments and make things difficult. It's all about halftime and then we can make adjustments. In his opinion, he wants this match to be a win for Metz, not a draw.

He thought of the cartoon he had seen on the road, and he had to be insulted, especially inexplicably. Before that, he did not provoke the Nancy fans, and when the players of the two sides were engaged in a war of words, he only gave an interview to the Chinese media and did not say anything excessive. Just because he's at the heart of Metz, the Nancy fans treat him like that, and he can't tolerate it.

His principle is: If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will offend.

Russell and Borger have already tasted that, and once he targets him, it's a dead end, with either one side winning or both.

He's going to give those Nancy fans a little bit of a look, and he's going to make them shut up completely!

Chu Zhongtian was thinking nonsense when he heard Fernandez calling his name.

"Huh? At...... Yes...... Belch. As soon as he looked up and saw Fernandez's eyes, he knew that he had just lost his mind and must have missed something very important. Sorry sir......"

Fernández asked him, "What are you thinking, Chu?" ”

Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and decided to say what he really thought.

"I feel like we should try to win, sir, instead of securing a draw."

Fernandez stared at Chu Zhongtian for a few seconds before asking, "But now we have one less person, Chu." ”

Promans bowed his head. He caused it all and if he hadn't been sent off, he believed the team could have won. Don't ask why, isn't it normal to want to win in a derby?

"I'll do the work of the vice-captain." Chu Zhongtian said his plan. If he just says he wants to win, but can't come up with a solution, his words won't be taken seriously. "I'm in good shape, so it's okay to run a little more distance."

"But then you won't be able to get involved more in the offense." Fernández offered his opinion. Now he didn't take Chu Zhongtian's negation of his tactics as a provocation to authority. On the contrary, he was guiding Chu Zhongtian to dare to speak his mind more actively in the locker room, whether it was right or wrong.

"We can play defensive counter-attacks, sir. Put more energy into defense, but don't give up on offense completely. By the time they press up, there will be a lot of space behind them, and then they can win the game as long as they take one or two chances! Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists as he spoke.

Fernandez thought for a moment, then nodded: "You're right, Chu." I'm sure none of you want to play just a draw in this game, right? ”

The players shouted, "Of course not, sir!" ”

"We've got to win!!"

"I'm going to let those bunnies in Nancy know that they're awesome!"

After the first half, they now have a clear idea of what a "Lorraine derby" is.

"So let's do it. We counter-attacked in the second half and aimed to win. But we had to make some substitutions. It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, Chu. But getting too involved in defense is bound to distract you. And once you get an assist, you may not be able to defend in time. Such situations are to be prevented. Leka. ”

Gregory. When Leka heard the manager call his name, he knew he had the hope of playing in such an important game.

"You play in the second half to help Chu defend."

Leka nodded vigorously: "No problem, sir!" Mission completion guaranteed! Chu, with me, you can rest assured to press it boldly, aha! ”

Being able to play makes Leka very excited.

At present, the midfield of Metz is Chu Zhongtian and Promans in the middle, as long as the two of them are not injured, the others basically do not want to be able to steal their main position. It turned out that Leka was also the main player, but he was injured against Paris Saint-Germain and lost his main position. Now it has been reduced to a complete substitute. Who wants to be a substitute all the time? No one, including Leka.

If you have to switch to a defensive midfielder, then according to the convention, there must be a striker who will be sacrificed. The starting strikers of Metz in this game are very young, nineteen-year-old Babakar. Gueye, eighteen-year-old Moma. Ndiaye (momar_n'Diaye), both of them are fast, but Gueye is good at dribbling in addition to being fast, passing and shooting from a distance. In comparison, the younger Ndiaye has little advantage, and he should be replaced as a matter of course.

No one was surprised when Fernandez announced that Le Ka had replaced Ndiaye, and even Ndiaye calmly accepted his arrangement.

While Metz was plotting a counter-attack to win in the dressing room, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed on Nancy's side. Although their teammate Sarchisian was injured, they had the advantage in numbers. All the Nancy players are confident of winning this game.

'They have a very important person missing, Promans is their defensive midfielder and plays a defensive role most of the time, and with him, that Chu can be involved in the attack as much as he can. And now that he has been sent off, Chu will definitely return to the defensive position, and Mace's offense will be paralyzed. So in the second half we have to attack with all our might, this game has to be won! "Nancy's head coach Pablo. Correa is making a pre-match mobilization to his players.

'I also believe Fernandes will ask his side to hold on in the second half and try to keep the draw. Because it's a derby, they don't have one less person to compete with us. So in the second half we had to take that chance! It's a derby on our home turf and we can't afford to lose to Metz! ”

There was a lot of excitement in the locker room.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, who walked on the field, heard the curses from the Nancy fans again, and when he looked up, he saw the huge cartoon aimed at him - a Metz No. 8 player with a pigtail braid on the back of his head, kneeling down to the Nancy players.

He clenched his fists.

Can't you win without one person?

No!

Chu Zhongtian didn't believe this.

At the start of the second half, as Fernandes had expected, Nancy launched a fierce attack into the Metz penalty area, as if they wanted to end the battle within five minutes.

Metz avoided his edge and recycled the defense. Everything was just as Nancy's manager Correa thought - Metz, who had one less man, would not dare to face Nancy head-on, they could only defend.

The only difference that Correa had expected was that Nancy went on a rampage for ten minutes and failed to get any chance to threaten Metz's goal.

The most active person in defense was Chu Zhongtian, who let Leka stick to the middle while he ran around, like a fireman, rushing wherever there was a fire.

He was on both wings and in the penalty area.

Berencourt once got a good chance to shoot from a distance, but when he was about to shoot, the football was stabbed out by Chu Zhongtian, who flew from the side, and he almost strained his thigh.

The football that was stabbed out by Chu Zhongtian fell to another Nancy player, Jonathan. At Brisson's feet, he didn't hesitate and shot directly from a distance!

This time, his shot was blocked by Leka.

Chu Zhongtian saw Leka desperately blocking the eye-catching defense, and gave him a thumbs up.

Leca looked very proud.

He's finally got it right.

Five minutes later, Nancy was still on the verge of finding the back of the net.

Seeing this scene, the narrator of Canal+ sighed: "I can't see that Mace looks like there is one person missing......"

He Ping naturally found another opportunity to praise Chu Zhongtian's physical fitness. "With him on the field, Mace has always been equal to twelve to eleven, and he was sent off one, and now it's only eleven against eleven, which can be regarded as returning to normal!"

Nancy fans are also unhappy that their team has one more person than the other team, but they have never been able to score goals. However, instead of booing their own team, they did something to stimulate Mace.

Some of them sang in the stands: "Mace is a shrunken turtle!" There is a kind of out! ”

Someone else shouted, "Just go back to your mother's womb!" Coward! ”

"Look down and see if you have any testicles down there!"

"Metz bastards, fight like a man! What kind of skill is in the forbidden area?! ”

But no matter how much this group of Nancy fans scolded, Metz just insisted on defense. First of all, don't concede a goal, and then counterattack.

The players of Metz have been waiting for the Nancy players to press up a bit. For Chu Zhongtian and his teammates, the current Nancy has not been pressed on all fronts, and it is not a good time to counterattack.

Correa stood on the sidelines, watching the situation on the field. He's making a decision about whether he really wants to put the whole team on the pressure and keep putting pressure on Metz.

While they were thinking about it, Nancy launched another attack. This time they finally found a defensive oversight on the part of Metz and burst into the box to shoot. But the ball eventually went out of the door, much to the surprise of the Nancy fans in the stands.

※※※ "This is Nancy's chance...... Al. Crawpi! Shot - Miss!! ”

Belmont, who was sitting in the taxi, was startled, and when he heard that he was off, he punched the horn hard and vented. "! Didn't get into what you're yelling about! ”

Like him, the narrator was dissatisfied with the narrator, and the old man Le Goff, who was sitting at home watching live TV. The moment the ball rolled against the post, he really felt his heart stop. Now his heart was beating very fast, and in order not to worry his daughter, he clenched his teeth and did not let out a moan.

※※※Seeing this unsuccessful attack, Correa finally made a decision - to invest more troops in the attack, put more pressure on the Metz penalty area, and accelerate the collapse of the Metz defense!

So he whistled and waved his hand below, signaling the defenders to press boldly, forming a multi-layered attack, completely pressing Mace in their thirty-meter area and unable to get out.

Seeing that Nancy's two full-backs pressed up and didn't go back, the Metz players knew in their hearts that the time had come for them to counterattack!

So when Wenbi saved the opponent's shot, he jumped up from the ground without hesitation, and then threw the football in his hand to Chu Zhongtian, who was waiting outside the penalty area.

Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball and then turn around, but directly knocked the ball back to Leka who was facing the direction of the attack with his head.

To fight back, you have to pay attention to one word - fast!

Any waste of time sticking to the ball is not allowed.

After receiving the ball, Leka kicked the ball to Reynold, who was retreating. In this game, he replaced Oblagnac, who was unavailable for a red card, as a left wing-back.

Reynolds received the ball and turned and took it forward.

At the time of the two feet passing, Chu Zhongtian had already rushed out.

The Metz team reversed the previous appearance of being pressed and played, with midfielders, full-backs, full-backs, and forwards all actively pressing, and even the back line pressed forward to create offside.

Since it's a counterattack, it's going to be counterattacked!

Reynolds have no one in front of him at the moment, as the Nancy full-backs are desperately trying to get back behind Reynolds when he receives the ball.

Since there is no one to defend, keep dribbling the ball!

Reynolds strode forward and played the ball.

Nancy's formation is 532, which becomes 352 when attacking, and when they are counter-attacked, they only have three central defenders at the back, one to defend Reynold, and the other two are concentrated in the middle, guarding against Metz's only remaining striker, Babakar. Gayer.

Reynold's speed was not fast, and if he took it any further, he would definitely be caught up by the pursuers behind him. Chu Zhongtian had been following Reynolds' running, so he knew the situation behind him well, and seeing that the other party was chasing closer and closer, he shouted at Reynold: "Pass out, pass the ball out!" ”

After hearing Chu Zhongtian's words, Reynolds did not doubt it, and passed the ball to the other side with a big foot, and at the same time as Ribery received the ball, the opponent's central defender also pressed up.

Looks like this is the end of the assault.

But Ribery turned his back to the opposition defender and slammed the ball behind him. Right-back Frank. Beria (franck_beria) catches the ball and rushes over!

"Nice fit!" The narrator exclaimed.

But the Nancy fans did not want to hear such praise, and they booed Beria loudly, and some yelled at him: "Come to me,! I've got your favorite banana here! ”

Beria didn't hear the boos and racist rhetoric from the stands, and as he walked to the wing, he looked up at the goalkeeper and crossed with his feet!

The only striker Baba Carr. Gueye was defeated by Nancy's last centre-back captain, Freddy Rick. Biancarani followed closely and didn't have a good chance. So to whom is this kick delivered?

The answer will soon be revealed!

Chu Zhongtian rushed into the penalty area and was followed by Nancy's back, Berencourt.

He was tugging at Chu Zhongtian's jersey, and he knew what Chu Zhongtian wanted to do.

Similarly, Biankarani also knew what Chu Zhongtian was going to do.

So after seeing Chu Zhongtian rushing in, he decisively gave up his original target Babakar. Gaiye, prepare to compete with Chu Zhongtian instead!

Berencourt is in the back and Biankarani is in the front.

Chu Zhongtian's situation was not good.

But when he still stepped on the penalty spot, he kicked hard and jumped high!

There's a platoon of people waiting for him in front, and he'll do the same. He has absolute confidence in headers!

Seeing Chu Zhongtian jumping, Belengul, who was following him, also jumped forward.

At the same time, Biankarani, who was in front of them, jumped up against Chu Zhongtian.

All three made header movements.

Berencourt was empty, and he didn't even get the ball to his feet. Judging from the height in the air, he was still almost a head away from Chu Zhongtian. Whether it is in the bouncing or the header technique, the Frenchman and Chu Zhongtian are not on the same level.

The only person who can fight with Chu Zhongtian is Nancy captain Biankarani.

Two people are facing each other, like two high-speed trains running in opposite directions, colliding in the air!

"Header to the top - !!"

Chu Zhongtian felt that he had hit the ball, but then he felt that he had hit something very hard, his head was like being hit by some heavy object, his ears "buzzed", and he temporarily lost his hearing.

The person who felt basically the same way as him was Biancarani, who also felt that he had hit something hard. But the only difference was that he didn't feel like he was hitting the ball...... "The ball went in!!" The ball is in! Pretty! Pretty!! After confirming that the football flew into the goal, He Ping shouted excitedly.

"Chu's header - goal! It's a goal! It's a beautiful counterattack! In the end, Chu put the ball into Nancy's goal! This is the goal that overtook the score! Metz took the lead with one less man!! The French commentator shook his fist vigorously. Although he is not a fan of Metz, such a wonderful game and such a wonderful goal deserve to vent his emotions with a fist.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian felt that his momentum to rush forward was blocked, his body was in the air for a moment, and then he lost his balance. Fell backwards. As he fell, he clearly saw that Biankarani was also falling on his back like himself.

His gaze went over to the fallen Biancarani and towards the goal. There, he saw a stunned and unresponsive goalkeeper, and a soccer ball caught in the net!

The ball is in!

The two raised hands were clenched into fists.

At this moment, a patch of red suddenly appeared from above in his field of vision, and this red quickly invaded most of the world in his eyes from top to bottom.

He blinked, feeling a little warm.
