By the time the Metz players finished their warm-up and returned to the dressing room, Promans' injured big toe had been treated and he was now sitting barefoot in his place changing clothes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info is different from other players, he takes off his game clothes and changes them back into the same clothes that he used to wear on the playing field. It was still quite cold in Germany in February, so he couldn't sit on the bench in his shorts jersey and watch the game, right?

Seeing Chu Zhongtian walk in, Promans shrugged at him, shook his head and said, "It's really unlucky, it looks like I'm going to miss two or three weeks of competition......"

Chu Zhongtian asked him, "Did you hurt your bones?" ”

Promont shook his head: "No, Mr. Donkey said no." ”

"That's good." Chu Zhongtian nodded.

"Do a good job, Chu." Promans stretched out his hand to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian slapped him on the hand.

Once everyone was back in the dressing room, head coach Fernandes began his speech.

"Promans' injury was an accident, and I don't want it to affect your mood." He said first, and then he mentioned Yaiovi. "Ahmed, you started for Promans in this game, and your task is to defend and, if possible, assist Chu in attacking."

Jyovi nodded.

"Next, let's talk about the goal of this game - not to lose." Fernandes said, "It's our goal not to lose, and it's better if we can win, but if you press out and attack, you can be taken by the opponent, so the defense comes first in this game." Chu, you're going to do a little bit more in defense. ”

"Yes, sir." Chu Zhongtian replied.

'First make sure we don't lose and then we score away goals.' Fernandes continued, "Playing away first is about trying to get away goals away from home. So even if we lose the game, as long as we have away goals in our hands, there's nothing to worry about. Therefore, on the basis of solid defense, it is still necessary to attack. Don't hear me say that if you don't lose, you won't attack, you won't attack. ”

Everyone said that they knew, and Fernandez turned his attention to Chu Zhongtian again: "Did Coach Carré tell you, Chu?" In this game you are the captain of the field. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded and said, "Yes, sir." ”

Fernández snorted, indicating that he was clear.

When he had finished what he had to say, he left time to the players themselves. At this time, there are still more than twenty minutes before the start of the game, and it is too early to go out and wait in line outside.

Promans made a gesture to signal Chu Zhongtian to pass.

After Chu Zhongtian passed, he took out the captain's armband: "I forgot to give it to you just now." ”

Chu Zhongtian originally wanted to take it, but he didn't expect Promans to say to him: "I'll help you put it on." ”

Chu Zhongtian, who had already changed into his jersey, knelt down on one knee and gave his left arm to Promang, who put the captain's armband on Chu Zhongtian's arm, and carefully sorted it out to ensure that the sleeve was pressed under the captain's armband and would not run around.

Then he patted the armband with satisfaction: "Okay." ”

This was the first time that Chu Zhongtian had worn the captain's armband, and the elastic band armband was tightly wrapped around his arm, giving him such a feeling that his arm was heavy, as if he was carrying something heavy.

The first captain, now because he can rarely play, Bobicon Ni, who is actually no longer able to wear the captain's armband, also came up and told Chu Zhongtian: "This is your first time playing as a captain, there are some things you need to know, Chu." If there is a conflict between our people and the opposing team, what you need to do is not to avenge your team-mates, but to persuade and appeal to the referee. If someone disagrees with the referee's decision, you have to speak to the referee on behalf of the team. But to get a good grasp of it, some referees don't want players to question his decision, just express their attitude, don't always nag there. ”

As he spoke, Chu Zhongtian nodded. These are all lessons learned.

"I haven't said anything else that well." Bobpiconi finally said, "Anyway, do a good job, Chu." ”

"I will." Chu Zhongtian replied. After answering, he looked at the time, and it was almost time to go out and wait for the entrance.

It will be the first time he has been in the dressing room to call the shots, which were previously done by Bopiconi or Promans. From today, for two to three weeks, it's going to be up to him to do this kind of thing.

He cleared his throat, and then heard Ribery's laughter. He glared back at his friend, this kid didn't cooperate with him, but wanted to see his own jokes!

"Are you alright, Chu? Your voice is fine, right? Ribery smiled even brighter.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!" Chu Zhongtian replied angrily, and then he shouted to the other teammates: "Okay, brothers, it's time for us to play!" ”

Ribery smiled, still the first to stand up and cooperate with him. The rest of the teammates also got up from their seats with smiles on their faces and walked out.

When Ibisevic passed by Chu Zhongtian's side, he also gave him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement.

※※※ This is the first time that Chu Zhongtian has stood at the front of the team and led his teammates to play, and he still doesn't know what the captain's armband has brought him.

But it's a pretty good feeling.

Following the referee out, there was a huge cheer at the Bayer Stadium, most of which were given to the home team Bayer Leverkusen.

As a captain, I was very busy before the game, exchanging team flags, picking sides, and taking group photos...... When it comes to picking edges, Chu Zhongtian's intuition can come into play.

The conditions were the same in both halves, and now it's night, and there is no "yin and yang" situation, so it doesn't make sense to get the right to pick the edge. Chu Zhongtian decided to get the ball off and gained possession at the beginning of the game, so he could take the opportunity to launch an offensive.

So he deliberately chose the side that was sure to be wrong, and ceded the right to pick the edge to Leverkusen's captain Karsten. Ramirao (carsten_ramelow).

Metz will qualify for the first half of the kick-off and they can keep the ball at their feet from the start of the game. Chu Zhongtian has to plan how to use this ball control opportunity.

There are some teams that like to pass the ball to the side as soon as the kick-off kick is made to the wide players who have already rushed up.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't like to do this kind of thing, he thinks that this kind of pass is too reckless, it is easy to lose possession in an instant, and as soon as the ball is kicked, it will compress the opponent's defense, which is not good for his own attack. It is better to pull out the opposing team's players and make it possible to take advantage of the opponent's three lines.

So I decided to kick back a few feet after kick-off.

He didn't tell his teammates what he thought, anyway, the football would definitely be passed to him as soon as he kicked off, and he didn't have to worry about someone driving directly to the side.

Sure enough, when the referee blew the whistle, the football only passed with two feet and obediently reached his feet.

Chu Zhongtian turned around and passed the ball to the central defender Traore in the back, and then ran and gestured for Traore to pass the ball to him.

Traore hesitated, but still played a long ball to Ribery, who was operating on the wing.

As a result, Ribery, who was familiar with Chu Zhongtian's passing to him and mastering the rhythm, didn't expect that Mace would make such a long pass to him after kicking off this time, and he didn't receive the ball. In the past, after kick-off, the football would always transition to him after several laps at Chu Zhongtian's feet and around him, so he didn't pay attention to the football at all before, he was still observing the opponent's defense, planning how to break through for a while.

Chu Zhongtian was a little annoyed, he was the commander of the team, and it was up to him to decide how the whole team attacked. Traore's self-indulgence led to the loss of possession.

He gestured to Traore: "You should pass the ball to me, Sammy." Traore was seven years older than him and was considered his senior, so although he was complaining, Chu Zhongtian also paid attention to his tone.

Traore originally wanted to catch Leverkusen off guard, because Metz used to kick off the ball and always had to kick it back a few times before passing forward, and he thought that this direct long pass must be more threatening. I didn't expect it to backfire.

Faced with Chu Zhongtian's complaints, he had no way to defend himself, so he could only make an apologetic gesture.

Fernandez, who saw this scene from the sidelines, nodded-Chu Zhongtian still had the consciousness of being a captain...... Although his performance in the locker room was a little immature, once he was on the field, he quickly reached the final, and even a veteran like Traore dared to blame him if he did something wrong.

It was really a smart choice to make him the third captain.

※※※ Leverkusen regained the ball, launched an attack, but in the end it was also in vain, and the ball finally returned to Metz's side. This time, Chu Zhongtian specifically told his teammates in the backcourt: "Don't make long passes with big feet, the Germans are tall and generally have good headers, and we have no advantage in long passes, especially when they stand in a defensive position." They are tall, but they turn slowly, their feet are bulky, and they are not as agile as our people, and they play more on the ground. ”

Why does Chu Zhongtian play the role of a head coach on the field, just look at what he said to the players. That's exactly what a manager should be talking about...... In the end, he said to goalkeeper Wambi: "Give me the ball and I'll take care of it all." ”

Wambi passed the football to him.

The head coach of Bayer Leverkusen obviously has some research on Metz, for example, he knows that Chu Zhongtian is the core of this team, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Chu Zhongtian.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian got the ball, Leverkusen's captain Ramirao rushed up. A white-haired, no, pale blonde Karlsten to be exact. Ramirao, because his hair is very conspicuous on the field. But even more colorful than his hair is his tough defense.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian turned around, he saw Ramirao sticking out his foot from him. It's not a greeting to break the ball, it's a tackle!

In order to prevent injury, he hurriedly jumped up, and the football was shoveled out by Ramillao.

How could Chu Zhongtian easily give up control of the ball?

After landing on the ground, he turned around and chased out, and Leverkusen's German international Schneider (bernd_schneider) was already about to receive the football, but Chu Zhongtian used the same tackle as Ramirao to stab the football.

The ball was shoveled out of bounds by Chu Zhongtian, and Bayer Leverkusen snatched possession back in front. Chu Zhongtian glanced back at the Bayer Leverkusen captain Ramirao who exchanged team flags with him before the game, shook hands and took a group photo.

I didn't expect it to be such a tough opponent...... Chu Zhongtian didn't know much about Ramilao, otherwise he wouldn't have felt such a sigh in his heart.

You must know that Ramirao receives a yellow card in the Bundesliga as it is to eat. He was a native of Germany and possessed the characteristics inherent to the Germanic people: stubbornness, bravery, tenacity and tenacity, which would be quite formidable in football, especially in a defensive midfielder.

His frontal defensive ability is outstanding, and he can be ranked in the top three of the Bundesliga's defensive midfielders.

But...... That's right!

Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists.

What is the UEFA Cup played for? Is it just to play against a weak team? In the group stage in the first half of the season, the opponent was too weak, which made Chu Zhongtian a little unmotivated. Now that I have met such a powerful opponent, of course, I will only be excited, and I will not have other ideas.

The significance of the European competition is to be able to play against more strong teams and strongmen that cannot be met in France!

Leverkusen's attack is mainly based on the following people: German international Schneider, Croatia international Babić (marko_babic), Bosnian international Babarec (sergej_barbarez), and Volenin (andriy_voronin) up front.

There is another person that needs the attention of the players of Metz, and he is the captain of the German national team in his twenties. Kiessling (stefan_kiessling), a 1.91-meter-tall center forward with delicate skills at his feet, known as "German Ibrahimovic".

Fernandes had analysed his men in detail before the game, what this player needed to pay attention to, what that player needed to pay attention to.

Among them, Schneider is the most active player in Leverkusen's attack, and although he is 33 years old, he still runs all over the field and constantly asks for the ball. However, the 35-year-old Barbarets, as a striker, did not have as many balls in the game as Schneider, and he did not run actively enough.

Schneider is really an old scalper for Leverkusen...... Because of Schneider's activity, Chu Zhongtian also met him many times in the game. Because Schneider didn't just play as a wing-back, sometimes he would come to the middle and play as a cameo midfielder.

The first task that Fernandez gave the team in this game was to stabilize the defense, so when the possession of the ball was not on his side, Chu Zhongtian honestly defended in the backfield.

Ten minutes into the game, Chu Zhongtian and Schneider had two encounters, and the two sides won one and lost one, and there was a draw. Schneider is more experienced, and it was by experience that he won that time. Chu Zhongtian was more physical, and in the face of the elderly Schneider, he put pressure on his body, and the German international lost control of the ball.

But what makes Chu Zhongtian hate is that even if he loses the ball, there is still one person - Karsten. Ramirao.

After cutting off Schneider's ball, Ramirao rushed up.

Chu Zhongtian had already seen the strength of this back and knew that this person's frontal defense was very good. Now that he had just cut off Schneider's ball, but he couldn't control it, Ramirao rushed up again. What should I do?

The football is between Chu Zhongtian and Ramirao, Schneider is already crooked aside, and there is nothing he can do about the ball, in fact, only Chu Zhongtian and Ramirao can grab the ball.

Seeing such a situation, Chu Zhongtian's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he thought of the technique he had been practicing hard for more than half a year.

Then he kicked out in stride, heading for the ball.

Ramirao knew that if Chu Zhongtian was allowed to grab the ball, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack. Although he is a little closer to football, his explosiveness has weakened due to his age, and if he grabs the ball normally, he may be preempted by the opponent.

Extraordinary situations with extraordinary methods - tackles!

Ramirao gave up his center of gravity and lowered his body to use his defensive skills in tackles.

This move does not seek to keep the football, but to prevent Chu Zhongtian from continuing to organize the attack after obtaining the football, as long as it can destroy the opponent's counterattack, it is a great achievement.

The tough Ramirao fell to the ground and tackle was still very imposing, and many opponents fell to his ferocious tackle.

But the opponents he met today are not ordinary people.

Chu Zhongtian used his good physical fitness and explosiveness to feel the football half a step in advance, if he drove the football out as usual, there was a good chance that he would hit Ramirao, who had expanded his defensive area because of the tackle, so that the ball would be broken, not to mention, and the opponent might take advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack on the spot.

So he didn't do it, he jumped forward and pulled the ball back a little with his right foot, which was the same distance as he dodged Ramirao's ferocious tackle.

Ramirao shoveled over and found that he had a hollow shovel! However, he did not give up, and made a second tackle after one unsuccessful attempt, which is a portrayal of the defender who never gives up. His right leg didn't tackle the ball, but he still had his left leg. So Ramirao used his right leg as a support foot and stretched his left leg to shovel the football.

Two tackles in a row, this time you can't dodge, right?

Chu Zhongtian pulled the football back with his right foot, this time he stepped on the football with his left foot, and then pulled the football to the right, and dodged Ramirao's second tackle!

At the same time, Chu Zhongtian turned three hundred and sixty degrees and re-faced the direction of the attack, and the football was at his feet. Bayer Leverkusen's midfielder Ramirao has been shaken to the ground by his continuous pull ball turn! There's no way to intercept him anymore...... "Oh...... Oh! Oh!! Oh, my God! Marseille maneuver! The TV announcer exclaimed. It's beautiful, haha! There is nothing that Ramirao can do! ”

Even the head coach of Fernandes, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but open his mouth and marvel after seeing Chu Zhongtian's performance.

After Chu Zhongtian shook off Ramirau, he slipped the football out, and then he strode to catch up with the football and dribble to the half of Leverkusen!

It feels good to successfully use the Marseille spin to shake the opponent, but Chu Zhongtian has no time to reminisce at the moment, and he wants to organize an attack.

Chu Zhongtian, who rushed forward with the ball from the middle, became the focus, and all the Bayer Leverkusen players focused on him. Bayer Leverkusen's defenders are also concentrating their defensive focus towards the middle, with the two wide players consciously leaning towards the middle.

Chu Zhongtian saw the opportunity to distribute the football to the feet of Ribery on the side, Ribery received the ball and ran wildly, cut into the penalty area, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Bute, and shot with his feet!

Unfortunately, the ball he shot ended up in the goal and did not score.

After Ribery's goal, the TV broadcast immediately cut back to Chu Zhongtian who had just turned Ramilao with a Marseille turn.

"A pretty standard Marseille slalom! French specialty! ”

Although the Marseille slalom was not invented by the French, it was called the "Marseille slalom" because of Zidane, and was used as a symbol of French football skills.

"Chu's condition seems to be very good, Leverkusen should be careful!"
