Chapter 55 Cruise Missiles
The match was being played on a television screen, between Metz in dark red jerseys and Paris Saint-Germain in white jerseys. On the screen, Chu Zhongtian, who was wearing the No. 30 Metz jersey, was accelerating forward with the ball.
In front of the TV was an old man, his fists clenched and his eyes wide, staring at the TV screen.
Next to him sat a young lady who was not watching TV, but staring at her father, looking nervous.
At this time, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the TV: "Chu! Clear! Chu - Shoot!! Yes...... It's high! β
With the exclamation on the TV, the old man sitting on the sofa twitched violently, startling the lady next to him.
"What the, didn't get in!" The old man cursed, which reassured the lady next to him a little.
"Dad!" She snorted, "Your body. β
"Hey!" The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay." I'm fine! Did you see that ball just now? China Chu's previous performances were perfect, from breaking the ball to organizing the tandem, but the last long-range shot was a little worse...... He's only scored one goal in Metz for half a season, maybe scoring isn't his forte......"
The daughter didn't look at it at all, but she didn't interject, just let her father babble, while continuing to stare at her father, for fear that he would be emotional again, and there was something long and short. Before Paris Saint-Germain equalized, he slapped the armrests on the sofa and scolded the Parisians. At that time, he completely forgot that his son-in-law was a Parisian...... nothing boosted morale more than a long-range shot. It's like there are a lot of ways to score goals on the basketball court, but dunks are always the most exciting thing that fans love. There are many kinds of shots on the football field, and only long-range shots can ignite the passion in the hearts of fans.
Chu Zhongtian's shot high did not attract boos from the audience, but won cheers and applause from the fans.
After being pressed by Paris Saint-Germain for more than ten minutes, there was finally a decent attack. There was hope that if Metz played as they did before conceding the second goal, the game would be a no-brainer β they would lose.
Fernandez also stood up and applauded Chu Zhongtian after his shot, not for the shot that was high above the crossbar, but for the series of combinations that Chu Zhongtian led the whole team to play before. They kept the ball firmly at their feet for almost three minutes, and PSG had no chance to break the ball anywhere. This is the kind of attack that Fernandes wants the team to play, whether it is on the wing or in the middle, whether it is in the front or in the back, they are involved in the attack, as a whole, and not just rely on the flash of a star player in front of them to decide the outcome of the game.
It took a season before he found the football he wanted...... It's a pity that the central man has two games to go, no, one game and twenty-five minutes to be exact.
Where will he be on loan from Chelsea next season? I haven't talked to him about the future, so maybe I should talk to him after this game and hear what he has planned. Bruno Fernandes wants to buy him out of Chelsea if he can...... Mr. Molinari, the chairman of the Metz club, was quite sincere and asked Chelsea for a price, but Chelsea did not sell it.
I received an invitation from Marseille and has not yet decided whether to say yes or not. If he goes to Marseille, Ribery will definitely take him, but what about Chu? There don't seem to be any non-EU places left on Marseille's side...... What about staying in Metz? Then I don't know if Riberican won't stay in this small team.
He was not willing to give up the football he had built in a season, but he knew that it was not up to him.
Let. Fernandez stood on the sidelines like Metz fans in the stands, applauding Chu Zhongtian's performance. In his eyes, the figure who constantly runs in the midfield, front and back, receiving and passing the ball, although he is still just a nobody, a recruit, has the demeanor of a master, calm and calm, and can be retracted and released freely.
I really dug up a treasure.
The more Fernandes praised Chu Zhongtian in his heart, the more reluctant he was to let him go back to Chelsea, in his opinion, although a club like Chelsea was more attractive than Metz, it was not suitable for Chu Zhongtian's growth. Because there is not a young player who needs the opportunity the most, and there is not much attention given to a young player. And all of this can be achieved in the small team Metz.
Stay, Chu.
He said to the man on the field in his heart.
β»β»β» "It's a pity, I shot ...... high" Ribery ran up and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder to comfort him. Actually, he didn't need comfort.
Chu Zhongtian looked at the big screen in the stands of the stadium, where there was game time. In the sixty-fifth minute, twenty-five minutes to go, it was more than a little more to say ...... "We've got to score, Frank. Retracting his gaze, he said to Ribery.
"Why don't I have a crossover with Ludovic or something?" Ribery crossed his hands. 'I go to the left and I have a chance to cut inside and he goes to the right as well.
"You two are probably being watched, they won't give you too many opportunities to get on your feet." Chu Zhongtian shook his head and vetoed Ribery's proposal. "But no matter what, you have to be aggressive, I see the opportunity to pass the ball to you, if you don't have the chance...... I'll do it myself! β
Ribery whistled when he heard him say this. "I've set it for you, your shooting skills are forty-five! The shooting accuracy is only thirty-eight! β
Chu Zhongtian glared at him: "That's what you set, not me!" β
Ribery laughed.
"Well, I'll give you a chance, if you want to come yourself." Ribery slapped him on the back and ran away.
β»β»β»In the next game, Paris Saint-Germain didn't care too much about Chu Zhongtian's high shot just now. They continued to attack the Metz goal and vowed to overtake the score.
There is still no news of a goal from Marseille's side, which means that Marseille is still one goal behind Lyon at home. As long as they can win Metz, they will be able to overtake Marseille and qualify for the UEFA Cup if they win their next game.
"Onward, PSG!!" Parisian fans in the stands cheering on their team. Sometimes they also mock and ridicule Mez's players.
For example, when Chu Zhongtian was running around the field to catch the ball, they would laugh at him for being a rat running around by people.
β»β»β» Paris Saint-Germain wanted to score, and Metz has been on the defensive during this time, occasionally having several counter-attack opportunities, but they were all strangled in the middle because the enemy was outnumbered.
But because of Chu Zhongtian and Promans' excellent performance in midfield defense, Paris Saint-Germain did not score so easily.
"Maybe a draw is an unacceptable result for both sides, but in fact a fair result?" Said the Canal+ narrator.
The old man Legov, who heard the narrator say this in front of the TV, shouted in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense, you idiot! For us, a draw is the biggest injustice! β
"Daddy!" The daughter cried out.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm in good health!" As the game time retired, the score seemed to freeze a little, and the old man Legov's temper did not get better, he rarely laughed, and seemed very irritable.
When the daughter saw her father like this, she really wanted to go up and turn off the TV, for fear that her father would be too involved in watching the ball and be in danger. But he knew that something would happen to him if he did this, and if she dared to do so, his father would definitely be angry with her, and he would be more emotional and physically more dangerous at that time.
So she could only continue to look at her father and look at the TV screen worriedly. Pray for an early end to this game...... Oh, not only to end early, but also to have a result that matches Dad's wishes, otherwise he will be angry just as much.
β»β»β» Paris Saint-Germain ended an offensive, surging up and back like a tidal wave. Chu Zhongtian ran back to the front of the penalty area and signaled goalkeeper Wen Bi not to kick the ball forward, which could not guarantee that the ball would be controlled at his feet.
He knew that as time went on, his impatient teammates might make long passes, but that wasn't the kind of football he wanted. He has to keep the ball at his feet to feel safe and have a chance.
"Pass me the ball, Wambiby!" Chu Zhongtian shouted at the goalkeeper and waved his hand.
He turned his head to look behind him, and the nearest forwards, Pauletta and Lyuboya, were not pressing.
Wambi passed the ball over.
Chu Zhongtian received the ball and turned around. Pauletta ignored him, and Lyubaya ran up to steal.
Seeing him like this, the Metz fans in the stands booed again - they haven't forgotten the kid who faked a penalty at the Parc des Princes.
Chu Zhongtian didn't rush out of the ball after seeing Liu Boya rushing up, but waited for Liu Boya to come up and suddenly dodged the opponent sideways, and then ran forward with the ball. After passing Lyuboya, he waved his hand and asked everyone to press it.
Just as he was doing so, Khanna pressed forward.
Seeing Karna, Chu Zhongtian didn't have a hard time with him, he didn't want to waste time in the one-on-one with Kana. Timing is important when attacking. He drew Khanna over and passed the ball out. Then cut into the position by yourself.
Unfortunately, his pass to Oblagnac was met by Paris Saint-Germain full-back Stephen Brown. Pishaw was cut off. After the opponent took the ball, he passed it forward to Cana.
At this time, Kana was already four or five meters away from Chu Zhongtian.
After seeing that Kana received the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not force it, but turned around and ran to the right.
Sure enough, Kana didn't let the ball stay at his feet for too long, and after adjusting it, he passed the ball to Simak in front of him.
After receiving the ball, SMS dunked the ball to the middle and prepared to go to the middle. At this time, Chu Zhongtian flew in from outside the camera!
He spread his feet wide and slammed the ball at Simmaca's feet with a flying tackle! Simak was caught off guard and lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Luo Teng, who was next to him, raised his hand for the first time to signal Chu Zhongtian to foul, but the referee kept waving his hand to signal that the game would continue!
Kana was guarding beside him, and when he saw Chu Zhongtian hooking the ball and getting up, he rushed up. He doesn't care what the referee decides, stop the ball first!
Chu Zhongtian was still adjusting his center of gravity, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pair of dark socks, and he knew who it was - "Killing Machine" Rorick. Cana!
He knew that the other party was menacing this time, and he would definitely not let himself pass easily.
He flicked the ball away, then leaned slightly to the side and used the back side to withstand the impact...... The two men collided solidly.
Chu Zhongtian's body stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he used his hands and feet together to prevent him from completely falling to the ground. But as he adjusted his center of gravity, he saw that Kanna, who had hit him, had fallen to the ground!
This is a great opportunity!
Chu Zhongtian forcibly adjusted his center of gravity within three steps, and finally straightened his body. That's when he saw Ribery running from the side to the middle to meet him.
Bari Saint-Germain's right-back Pieshaw followed Ribery down the middle, while their flank was handed to retreating wing-back Edouard Mendy. Metz's left wing-back Signorino was taught a lesson by Chu Zhongtian, and the assist was very positive, and he rushed forward again.
Pass to Ribery or Pass to Signorino?
Chu Zhongtian suddenly noticed that Ribery's running posture was a little strange - because his arms were not fully swinging, his left hand was hanging in front of him, and his index and middle fingers were twisted...... He knew what that meant.
Two over one!
Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Ribery, who was running horizontally, and he stopped and changed direction and ran behind Ribery.
After Ribery received the ball, he did not continue to take it, but knocked the ball to Chu Zhongtian who came up with his heel.
Pishaw didn't dare to follow Ribery to continue running, because if he ran again, he would have to go to the middle, and now they are still on the side...... He saw Ribery knocking the ball to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian pulled to the side, so he gave up Ribery and ran to the side to make up for Chu Zhongtian.
Karna, who had just fallen to the ground, had already gotten up and rejoined the game, and when he saw his teammate Pishaw holding Chu Zhongtian on his head, he ran towards Ribery.
Chu Zhongtian looked at Pi Xiao who was lying in front of him and did not continue to dribble the ball. It was a fierce burst just now, but now it's time to control the tempo, because Bari Saint-Germain's defence is very well organised, there are no obvious chances, and if you continue to move forward, you will either take the ball to a dead end or pass it to a dead end.
He looked at the full-back Signorino, who was parked on the touchline waiting to be picked up, and passed the ball over.
Since the opponent has shifted the attack to the wing, it is his own responsibility. Pishaw also ran over and returned to his position. He and Edouard Mendy were sandwiched between Signorino at a 60-degree angle, both to prevent him from breaking through and from passing directly at a 45-degree angle.
Signorino was also going to break through at first, but he looked at the two people in front of him, and it didn't seem like there was much of a good chance. Then he caught a glimpse of Chu Zhongtian moving to his side, passing the ball to him, and then going down himself...... This is the idea of Signorino.
After he passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian, he accelerated sharply and rushed forward, and Pishaw followed him and ran back.
Chu Zhongtian did not send a direct pass over the top, which was very common in the past, but suddenly flicked the football sideways and rushed to the middle!
Mendy, who originally came up to interfere with Chu Zhongtian's pass, didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to not pass the ball, but to take the ball to the middle, he just stretched out his foot, and was given by Chu Zhongtian. He didn't chase it, he just watched from behind, anyway, this kid was just looking for an opportunity to pass the ball.
Chu Zhongtian did not really continue to dribble the ball horizontally after plucking the ball horizontally, but knocked the ball diagonally forward, turned, and aimed his body at the goal of Paris Saint-Germain. He saw that the goalkeeper of Paris, Letizzi, was standing a little forward - it was normal, he was at least 40 meters away from the goal...... So far, no one has come up to defend him, and Kana is following Ribery.
It's all this time, what are you waiting for?
Although the distance was a little far, Chu Zhongtian didn't think it was a problem.
He rubbed the ball forward and pulled it away!
At this point, Cana finally decided to abandon Ribery and rush at him, anyway, to interfere with his shot!
β»β»β» "Chu Zhongtian takes the ball and brings the ...... to the middle"
Chu Zuosheng stood in front of the TV, his body swaying slightly, he was nervous. It's been a long time since I've watched the Chinese team's game so nervous.
"Is he going to shoot?" The French commentator of Canal+ asked such a question, and Chu Zhongtian gave him an answer in the next second.
Hands open, feet up, strong long shot!!
The soccer ball whizzed over Canna's head, and he pounced on it.
The ball leaps high and flies straight towards the goal.
"Shoot so far? Too blind! The French commentator criticized.
Letiz saw Chu Zhongtian shoot, and almost in the blink of an eye, the football appeared above him! It was impossible for him to retreat, so he could only jump up and reach out to see if he could pounce on the football.
"Letizzi pounces on ......"
The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper jumped high behind him, but he didn't touch the football!
The ball slipped past his hand and into the back corner of the goal!
β»β»β» "God ......"
The old man in front of the TV leaned forward, his fists clenched, his eyes wide open, staring at the screen. He muttered.
The daughter beside him also became nervous.
β»β»β» "I didn't pounce on it, I didn't pounce on it!" He Ping shouted.
Letiz didn't touch the football, the ball fell into the back corner of the goal, a scene that all the Chinese fans who watched the broadcast of the game saw it, their hearts seemed to stop beating, and they were both nervous and anticipating the result that would follow.
β»β»β» Everyone at the Stade Fortion will be able to see the ball fly down after passing Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Letici, then hit the back post of the goal and bounce into the goal!
β»β»β» "Ahh Pretty! 3οΌ2οΌ Pretty!!! He Ping was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he only knew to repeat the word. It's beautiful!! β
"What is this...... What is it? passed through Letici's hand...... The ball is in! The ball is in!! The French narrator of Canal+ screamed. The ball went in!! In the seventy-third minute, the Metz team took the lead again! The man who scored the goal was ...... Clear!! β
β»β»β» Maybe Chu Zhongtian's 35-meter-long shot was a little too sudden, and the Holy Mountain Frian Stadium was quiet after the football entered the goal, and then a huge cheer suddenly erupted.
"Hooray!! Banzai!!! The fans jumped up from their positions, stretched out their arms and shouted.
"Beautiful! Pretty! Wang Hao and Lin Beiyao were also in the crowd, and they were all cheering around them, and they were also very excited. The whole grandstand felt like it was going through a small earthquake β it was shaking!
"It's pretty, ahaha! your mother's Parisian!! Belmont raised his middle finger and cursed uncleanly. There are a lot of people around him who are swearing at their opponents just like him.
β»β»β» Chu Zhongtian stopped after shooting, and he did not continue to run when the team attacked for the first time. He looked up at the soccer ball in the air, and his eyes and heart flew towards the goal.
He saw the ball leap high, dodge goalkeeper Letici as he soared into the air, and then flew towards the back post. At this time, he was not sure if his risky long-range shot would go in, as the ball could also fly straight off the back post.
But then the ball fell into the goal, and his heart fell back...... After the goal, Chu Zhongtian's mind boomed, and then he didn't know anything, and when he came to his senses, he found that he was running wildly, and the target was the coach's seat!
Let. Coach Fernandez rushed out of the coach's seat after seeing Chu Zhongtian's long-range goal. CarrΓ© hugged and then Francisco. Morality. Tadio, the coach who specializes in training Chu Zhongtian, hugged and high-fived. The bench beside him was already boiling.
When he had just separated from Tadio, he turned around and saw Chu Zhongtian rushing towards him.
He was hugged by Chu Zhongtian, who rushed over!
He even snorted when he was knocked out.
This kid is really hard...... The other players followed behind Chu Zhongtian, and they swarmed up, and then pounced on the two of them, surrounding them!
Ribery jumped on Chu Zhongtian's back, and then kept waving his arms to the stands, roaring loudly.
In response, louder cheers rang out from the stands.
β»β»β» "Metz took the lead again in the 73rd minute! In the relegation battle, they once again took control of their destiny! He Ping, who calmed down, began to explain the work again, "And the person who brought them this leader is our Chinese player Chu Zhongtian!" It was his second goal in Ligue 1 this season, and although it was not a lot of goals, it was a wonderful goal! Chu Zhongtian deserves to be the key Mr. Mace! β
"The relegation team Metz burst out with great energy, and they were once again ahead of Paris God Germain! It's a festival for Metz fans! Chu's long-range shot is amazing! β
The old man Le Goff jumped up from the sofa, and then yelled at Chu Zhongtian, who was rushing to the coach's seat in front of the TV: "The champagne is yours, boy!" You're the best in the game!! β
Then he turned to his worried daughter and laughed: "Don't worry, no problem, no problem!" I've never felt better this year than tonight! Aha! Long live Crimson!! He straightened up again, raised his arms and shouted.
As if there was no problem with the body at all.
"Football is the lubricant of my body, hehe!" After yelling, the old man said to his daughter unsatisfied.
Also in front of the TV, but indeed in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, thousands of miles away, Chu Zuosheng jumped up on the spot, and his wife also stood up and applauded and laughed.
"Well done! Attaboy! Well done son! Chu Zuosheng shouted, this time he was not afraid of disturbing his wife.
His son scored a goal, and it was such a crucial goal that it could well determine whether Metz will play in the second division or the first division next season. He is proud that such an important goal was scored by his own son!
My son was born to play football!
