While the Lyonnais were still celebrating their goal, Fernandes asked Carré to call captain Bobiconi, Chu Zhongtian and Franck Ribery to the sidelines to listen to him.

"Next we're going to attack." Fernandez's first sentence startled captain Bobiconi - he still didn't defend with all his might, if he attacked, how badly should he lose?

Franck Ribery was supportive of the manager's decision, the team defended as a whole, and he had almost nothing to do up front, which made him uncomfortable to death.

Chu Zhongtian also hopes that the team will attack, because blindly defending will not score goals. He's already competed with Juninho, and now he's competing with Diarra, Essien and others.

"Chu, you don't want to defend Juninho, you are mainly responsible for organizing the attack next. Watch out for Diarra, he's a great midfielder. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded, indicating that he knew.

※※※Lyon's players celebrated their goals and ran towards their own half. Essien and Diarra are praising their captains: "That kid still can't stop you!" ”

Juninho shook his head: "That thirty gives me the feeling that he resembles you in some places, Michael." ”

Essien was a little surprised: "Like me? Where? ”

"Physical fitness and fighting spirit." Juninho Dao. "It's just that it's inexperienced and immature than you." Juninho commented on Mace's number 30 so much that neither Essien nor Diarra did not.

In fact, Esin is only one and a half years older than Chu Zhongtian, but Esin has been systematically trained and has participated in many professional competitions, so he is much richer than Chu Zhongtian in terms of experience. Thirty-year-old Juninho saw this quite accurately.

At this point, Essien believes in Juninho.

He turned his head to find Chu Zhongtian. He saw his target standing on the sidelines and the manager pulling him to what he was saying.

Diarra was a little unimpressed, and no matter how much he looked at it, he couldn't see anything in common with Essien. In terms of physical fitness, Leon is second, Essien is first, and that kid is not black, just a yellow race, how can he compare with Essien in terms of physical fitness and surpass himself?

He was a little unconvinced, but he didn't show it, he just thought - there was a chance to verify it for himself!

He was soon given that opportunity.

When the game resumed, Juninho found that Chu Zhongtian was no longer defending himself, and the task of defending himself was given to Promans, and he was still a little confused at first - where did Mace's No. 30 go?

He looked back and found that Chu Zhongtian was actually closer to Diarra!

What is this signal? Metz going on the offset?

Even the seasoned Juninho found this idea a little strange - this is at the Stade Gerain, the home of Lyon, and a team of the level of Metz is not satisfied with the 1:1 score and wants to attack?

※※※Although Chu Zhongtian's next task is mainly to attack, it does not mean that he will not participate in defense at all. The manager didn't do that, and he personally wouldn't do it.

When Proman goes to defend Juninho, he also pulls back to assist the defence.

Sometimes he even went up with Promans to grab Juninho. If you can break the ball and turn around, you can play a counterattack.

And when Metz attacked, his position was not limited to the middle or the midfield. Thanks to his super physical fitness, he can run to any corner of the court in time to answer his teammates. At the same time, he also took the initiative to ask for the ball, taking on a completely different role before.

However, he is no stranger to such a role, and he has played it many times in the previous month. Even He Ping, who had commented on his few games, was not surprised.

Chu Zhongtian is not the kind of player who only fixes the ball in one area, and modern football is less and less like the kind of player who only specializes in one ability. The trend in the future is to be an all-round player, as a midfielder to be able to attack, as a striker to be able to defend, as a central defender to be able to dribble straight into the opponent's heart when necessary...... Even the goalkeeper is about to become a scavenger, and as a modern player, it will become more and more normal to have multiple skills.

"Heartthrob" David. David Beckham moved to Real Madrid, and after only playing as a right wing-back, he had to switch to a central midfield in order to play and use his long balls to attack.

However, his activity attracted the attention of one person for him...... Chu Zhongtian received the ball from his teammate Oblagnac and was about to take it forward, when he suddenly felt that his center of gravity was completely lost and he fell to the ground. Naturally, the football was also lost.

Lying on the ground, he only saw a swarthy thigh, and when he rolled over, he realized that the person who had fouled him was Mahamadou. Diarra!

The referee whistled for a foul on Diarra and awarded Metz a free-kick for Oblagnac, but the French national youth player's free-kick was far worse than that of Juninho. The free-kick he kicked didn't even go over the wall.

The ball that bounced back happened to fall at Chu Zhongtian's feet, he stopped the ball, Diarra had already rushed up violently, he didn't have time to adjust, and his teammates were not in a good position, so he simply shot on the spot with his feet!

The football flew towards the goal like a cannonball, full of power, but it missed the goal and hit the billboard next to the goal with a muffled sound.

The corner was missed, not posing any threat to Lyon's goal, but Juninho squinted his eyes with interest - he was on the spot, he didn't run, his upper body didn't even move, and he was able to shoot such a powerful and fast ball with the strength of one right leg. If it wasn't missed, but it was shot in the woodwork, it's hard to say if Kupe would have been able to react...... Even Diarra didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot on the spot, and as soon as he reflexively gave way, the football flew past his face.

A few minutes later, Metz goalkeeper Wenbi kicked the goal, and the football flew directly to the center circle, and Chu Zhongtian and Diarra competed for the header. Diarra is 1.83 meters tall, and Chu Zhongtian is also 1.83 meters tall, it can be said that the two people are exactly the same in height, and there is no situation where whoever takes advantage of it suffers.

Chu Zhongtian jumped on the spot, Diarra was rushing, in the bounce, Diarra had the advantage, but the one who won in the end was Chu Zhongtian, because he judged the landing point and jump timing of the football more accurately, he grabbed the football before Diarra took the football away, Diarra rushed up and could only knock Chu Zhongtian to the ground, another foul.

Diarra didn't care about this foul, but from the physical confrontation with Chu Zhongtian these two times, Chu Zhongtian definitely didn't have the physical fitness of Essien, and Juninho was either exaggerated, or he looked away.

"This kid is nothing special." Running back, he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head at his fellow African, Essien.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian has more experience in attacking, and Mace's defensive strength has weakened compared to the first half. Leon seized the opportunity for Metz to make adjustments, lured Metz out, and then used the speed of both sides to counterattack. Malouda and Govu are both fast and good dribbling players.

Finally, in the 69th minute, Govu received the ball on the side and passed Oblagnac, and did not continue to dribble the ball forward, but drove the ball directly to the other end of the pitch with his big foot, where the unmarked Malouda easily licked the ball forward with his chest, and then raised his foot to knock the ball forward and accelerate the breakthrough with the ball!

The full-back on Metz's side is Samuel. Arrigoro (samuel_allegro). Lyon's attack was on the left flank, so he was in the middle, and when Leon moved the ball to his side so quickly, he had to run from the middle of the runway to the side, so Malouda was almost unmarked.

When he felt on the wing, Malouda was decisive in his cross.

Metz's defensive line was completely chaotic after being moved left and right by Lyon, and Frau in the middle was completely undefended and shook his head to attack the goal.

Wambi could do nothing about such a header and could only watch as Fry sent the ball into the net.

The Stadio Gerland was once again cheered by the fans.

Lyon overtook the score at home and led 2:1!

In this attack, Lyon played very fast, and the initiation point was Juninho, whether it was him, or Govu, Malouda, and Frau, who participated in the attack later, everyone handled the ball cleanly and did not drag the mud and water. So much so that Chu Zhongtian didn't have time to run back to participate in the defense from the time the opponent started to attack, and when Frau scored the ball, he had just run to the top of the free throw arc.

It can only be verified to watch Frau put the ball into the wicked door guarded by Chamberie.

He hugged his head in disappointment and pulled his hair - that's the bad thing about attacking...... But can we keep in the second half and not dare to attack in order to avoid conceding such goals?

Apparently not.

Now that we've conceded the ball, we have to work harder. Anyway, losing one goal is a loss, and losing two goals is also a loss!

Losing the ball did not change Metz's tactics, Fernandes went to the sidelines and demanded that the players attack more resolutely.

Chu Zhongtian has good physical strength, and he does not hesitate to shuttle back and forth in the game, but he rarely carries the ball, and he always cuts and runs in the air without the ball, and he always passes it out as soon as possible after he gets the ball. He knows that he is not good at dribbling the ball, and holding the ball for a long time will inevitably attract the opponent's pressing, and it is obviously not his specialty to control the ball alone in the encirclement of four or five people, he likes to do something simple - observe the position of teammates and opponents in advance, and then send the ball to the place he has planned as soon as he receives the ball. After passing the ball, continue to run to the next position, pick up your teammates, and continue to pass. He doesn't stand in a certain place and only relies on passing the ball to complete the task of organizing the attack, his "pass and run" type, using his own runs and passes to connect the front, middle and back lines.

If he uses pearls as a metaphor for his teammates, then he is the thin thread that threads the pearls, without his strings, the beautiful pearls are just messily scattered on the ground, looking disorganized, and may even fall into the mud and lose their original luster. With his runs and passes, the team will be able to shine like a pearl necklace.

is also because of his playing characteristics, which makes Diarra very depressed. At first, Diarra also wanted to use the same method he used to deal with Juninho, so that he could also taste the taste of being forced to be robbed. Later, after doing it a few times, he found that he couldn't do this, because Chu Zhongtian's position was simply chaotic, there was no law at all, and he could appear in any corner of the stadium, and if he followed Chu Zhongtian everywhere, Lyon's midfield defense would be useless...... When the time comes, the lively Ribery will be able to face the back line as soon as he leans into the middle.

Later, Diarra let Chu Zhongtian run around.

Run, anyway, you'll get back to the middle, boy.

If it is in the eyes of ordinary people, Chu Zhongtian's running looks disorganized, as if it has no effect at all, just constantly running, catching the ball and then passing the ball, such a simple job is done by ordinary people. The Metz team attacked several times, he did this, neither passed the lethal pass like in the first half, nor did he play a lot of imaginative and ornamental passes, he just sat on the simplest and most basic receiving work, and even the outside instep passed very little, most of them were passes with the inside instep or the arch of the foot, which made many people think that he was completely needless to run and pass, nothing remarkable.

Even the commentator of French television felt that Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance was only the one that assisted Ribery in the first half, and there was nothing to praise at other times. It looks like a normal midfielder, and it's clear that Metz has given him all the playmaking in attack, because when everyone has the ball, they always give him the priority of passing.

But only the coaches at Metz know that such movement and passing is a test of a midfielder's ability to read the game offensively. It seems that his running is very ordinary, but if someone carefully studies it after the game, they will find that he is very particular about his running route, always trying to form a triangle with his team-holding buddies and any teammate, so his teammate's pass can be easily passed to him, and he can also pass the ball to the next target teammate very quickly, without finding out that the position is not good after receiving the ball, and he needs to dribble to adjust and then pass, at that time the best time is often lost, and he can only pass the ball for the sake of passing. Now he can continue to run to the next position after passing the ball like this, if his teammate decides to come on his own, he is next to him, if his teammate finds that it is very difficult to come, or he wants to pass to teammate B, but there are two opposing players between teammate B and him, then he can hand the ball back to him, and then he will be the relay point and pass the ball to teammate B.

And so on, and so on, he connected all the teammates involved in the attack on the field.

And this kind of movement is something he didn't have when he first played at Wimbledon, and even in the first half of his season at Metz.

Today's performances are the result of Coach Tadio's analysis of the game footage with him after each game.

At first, he was not used to this kind of running, but after constant attention in training and competition, he is slowly training it into an instinct of his own - no need to observe, no need to think, and run out of the triangle position naturally.

Many years later, FIFA's technical committee used Chu Zhongtian's running and passing position in a game as an example to tell young players and football lovers how to make the smartest and most efficient run and pass in the game. In the video, the technical committee freezes the game, and then marks Chu Zhongtian's running and passing routes with red solid lines and dotted lines, you can clearly see that with him as the center, the passing trajectory is the sideline, and between him and his teammates, there will always be obvious triangles, sometimes one, and sometimes as many as nine triangles of different sizes, different angles and different levels. Then when he runs down a little after passing the ball, the triangle repeats itself again. Of course, this is also inseparable from his close cooperation with his teammates.

At that time, Chu Zhongtian's passing organization and running position in the midfield had become more and more perfect, and he had the flavor of "great achievements". And now facing Lyon at the Stadium in Gerland, he is still a fledgling young boy, running and passing are still very jerky, sometimes the passing intention is too obvious, it will be broken, and it will also make him give up the intention of passing the ball and turn around and run back with the ball, and readjust.

In short, when he doesn't find a good opportunity, he won't risk passing the through ball, although the through ball is very ornamental and deadly, but at the same time it is also very risky.

As a midfield commander, taking risks or being conservative is a choice he has to make at every turn. One second is a good time to take a risk, but if you delay a little time, you can make a risky pass or break through the next second and you will regret it.

When the game reached the eightieth minute, Metz still did not score, as long as Metz attacked, Chu Zhongtian kept running and looking for passing opportunities, but Lyon's defense was very tightly organized, so it was possible for a good offensive opportunity to appear easily?

He Ping couldn't understand Chu Zhongtian's approach, but just sighed: "Chu Zhongtian worked hard, but Mace couldn't find a better way to attack, and Ribery was also besieged by the other party." At this time, they need the cooperation of their team-mates, and they also need team-mates with excellent individual ability to share the pressure of Ribery. ”

As time went on, Lyon did not settle for a 2-1 scoreline, and Metz's goal was an offense to them, so they had to retaliate with more goals.

Before entering the last ten minutes of the game, Chu Zhongtian stayed behind to defend more often, and even Ribery had to come back to participate in the defense.

On a couple of occasions, Lyon even completely suppressed Metz's attack and pushed him back into the 30-metre zone, and it looked like Metz should be thankful that they were able to maintain this score at the end of the race.
