Proman's figure quickly disappeared at the Yongdao crossing, Chu Zhongtian's gaze was retracted, and he caught a glimpse of the captain's armband on his left arm, the red Metz jersey was underneath, and the captain's armband was yellow and white, which looked conspicuous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I didn't expect that he would become the captain of the field in this situation, and he was not excited about it at all. Instead, he frowned.

A penalty was awarded and the score could well have been equalised. And with half a game left, one less...... It's going to be a tough game.

What's next?

He set his sights on the dugout on the sidelines.

Let. Fernandez was pulling Ribery and saying something to him, and Ribery nodded as he listened.

It looks like an explanation of the tactical change. With one man missing, the score is on the verge of equalising, and the tactics that have been put in place will definitely need to be adjusted.

At the same time, Chu Zhongtian also noticed that Yayiovi was being replaced by assistant coach David. Carré screamed to warm up.

Ribery listened to the manager's words and ran again. He made a gesture to Chu Zhongtian: "The old man said to stabilize the defense first and withstand Sevilla's next onslaught. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded, indicating that he understood.

On the other side, the celebration of the Seville people ended. Their striker Fabiano walked to the penalty spot with a football in his hand and prepared to take the penalty.

Metz fans who saw this scene kept booing and scolding from the stands to disturb Fabiano.

The Metz and Sevilla players both withdrew from the box. If Wemby can save the ball, the Metz players plan to rush in and clear the ball as soon as possible. The Sevilla players were prepared to go in and shoot in case Fabiano didn't kick in.

Fabiano didn't give them a chance to do so. When he heard the referee's whistle, he sprinted and shot!

The ball drilled into the goal from the bottom right corner of the goal, and Humby made a complete save.

"Louis. Fabiano! Louis. Fabiano! Fabiano!! gooooooooool！！ goooooooooool！！ Seville - ! The Spanish commentators shouted passionately in their own way.

Sevilla equalised and had one more man than their opponents, and the balance of victory was already tilted in favour of the Spanish side.

While the Sevilla players were celebrating their goals, Chu Zhongtian gathered his frustrated teammates together. Promans is off the pitch, and now he wears the captain's armband on his arm, so he has to fulfill the duties of a captain.

"Mr. Fernandez, let's defend first." Chu Zhongtian said to his teammates. 'Sevilla equalised and had one more man than us, so they're definitely going to want to take advantage of the situation. We can't let them get what they want, we have to hold on to it. ”

"Is it possible to play overtime?" Ibisevic asked.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "If necessary, I may also play a penalty." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone fell silent.

There are now 44 minutes left in extra time and 74 minutes before the penalty shoot-out...... Will they be able to keep a goal conceded over such a long period of time?

Chu Zhongtian saw that everyone was a little depressed, so he hurriedly slapped his face and cheered everyone up: "Actually, this is also our chance, guys." ”

Everyone looked up at him and couldn't understand why he said that.

'Sevilla must now think that we have no resistance and they have the win. The two full-backs will press for assists more often, so that there will be more space behind them than before...... As long as we can take advantage of such opportunities and play on their counter-attack, we are not without hope of scoring again. ”

"That's right!" Ribery punched his palm. "They will definitely underestimate the enemy, and we will seize this opportunity to fight their counterattack!"

was said by Chu Zhongtian and Ribery, and everyone felt that the situation was not so bad that it was about to fail at any time. As long as they work together and fight back, the suspense of this game is still there.

In fact, Fernandez did not think of this, he still hoped that the team could go out and seek a goal after withstanding these few minutes of attack. After all, if you defend now, you can't defend it ironcladly, and Sevilla's attack power is not weak.

※※※ "The score is equalized, and the number of people is still one less, how to play this game?" Wimbledon fans in blue T-shirts in the stands complained.

"That penalty is too severe, it stands to reason that a penalty is enough, why should you punish people? In this way, the advantage of the game is all on the side of Sevilla......"

The England fans felt the same thing as the French commentator, who began to lash out at the referee after Sevilla's goal.

"I don't know what Busaka thinks about such an important final, but he easily took out a red card. We won't talk about his misjudgment of Chu before, just talk about this penalty. In terms of Promans' foul alone, there is no doubt about the penalty, but the red card is really debatable...... His red card ruined the whole game, and with more than 40 minutes to go, Metz certainly won't be pressing heavily against Sevilla with one man less. We won't be able to see the first half in the rest of the game! Masim. Busaka has officiated five European matches this season, showing only 15 yellow cards and none of them, and is a referee who has been lax in enforcement, but why did he show a red card in this final? Is it the first Law Enforcement League Cup final, too nervous? ”

The television broadcast gave Busaka a close-up, and at that moment he became the protagonist of the game. Busaka's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell if he was golden.

Metz fans scolded the Swiss referee, giving him the middle finger and greeting his family, especially female relatives.

Emily, who was sitting in the VIP box, also frowned. She knew that the game was going to be tough, and she didn't know if her lover would be able to lift the championship trophy as she wished in such a situation...... "Fight their defense and counterattack!! Before kicking off, Chu Zhongtian shouted at his teammates. One less person is no big deal! I'll run a little more, everyone cooperate with me! ”

Let. Of course, it is impossible for Fernandez to let Chu Zhongtian run more alone, and there is one less person in the position of the back midfield, which is really not reassuring.

Soon he was replaced by the warm-up Boyovi. He was replaced by Felicio, who came on and brought the latest instructions from the manager. Menez went to play left wing-back on the left wing, leaving Ibisevic alone in the forward position.

Menez can be left or right, has speed and skill, is all-round with both left and right feet, and can play as a full-back, winger, shadow striker, forward midfielder, and center forward, and this is the time to use his panacea.

It is not the first time that Yayiovi and Chu Zhongtian have partnered, when Promans was injured before, he and Chu Zhongtian played together for two months, and he also played in the League Cup and the league, so there is no problem with experience.

Still, this was his first time playing in the final, and Chu Zhongtian was worried that he would be too nervous or too excited, resulting in a dysfunctional performance. After he came up, he also took care of it: "Play at a normal level, your main task is to defend, Ahmed." ”

"Okay, Captain." Jyovi nodded.

After the game restarted, as Chu Zhongtian and Fernandes expected, Sevilla launched wave after wave of attacks on Metz's penalty area, intending to take advantage of the current momentum to completely capture Metz's city.

Metz only took advantage of possession on his side at the kick-off to launch an attack, because of the small number of people and the need to defend, so he did not invest too many troops in the attack. Chu Zhongtian didn't have a chance to organize a delicate attack under Paulson's close pressing, so he just passed the ball to Ribery and left it to him alone.

Ribery used his individual skills to break through Puelta's cross, and Ibisevic struggled to get the spot under the help of Navarro and Escude, but his header was deflected wide by two Sevilla centre-backs.

At this point, Metz completed their attack and the rest of the time belonged to Sevilla. They bombarded Metz indiscriminately around the half of Mace. It was difficult for Metz to kick the football out of their own half, and Sevilla took advantage of the numerical advantage to firmly control the 30-metre perimeter area of Metz, and constantly organized a second attack.

Mace's attacks can only be carried out in the air, such as using the speed of Ribery and Menez to counter-attack.

More often than not, Ibyševich had to drop back to play as a centre-back, he had no speed and was of little use on counter-attacks.

Alves is now reckless in the assists and has not retreated after dealing with the football, but has remained up front and waited for a second chance.

The commentator lamented that Alves is no longer a right-back, but a right winger, and that he is most often seen not near his own baseline, but near Metz's baseline.

Under such pressure, Chu Zhongtian still made some long passes to help Ribery and Menez in front of him harass the opponent's defense. Unfortunately, they are too few and outnumbered, so they can really only "harass and harass" each other.

In the first half, Chu Zhongtian would occasionally think about his muscle strain, and now he completely forgot that he had been injured before the game, and every time he defended, he tried his best to ensure that the area he was responsible for would not be used as a breakthrough by the opponent - Sevilla were still storming his side, trying to crush him.

"Navas is facing Chu to change direction and break through! Pretty! Chu shoveled his ball! No fouls! ”

"Navas passes to Alves...... Alves broke forward with the ball, and the person who followed him was Chu! Cross! was blocked by Chu......"

Marti faced Chu ...... He passed the ball out, this time Alves on the wing! Nobody defends him, nice pass! ”

…… The commentator kept mentioning the names of Keylor Navas, Alves and Marti, all three of whom were Sevilla players who were attacking Chu Zhongtian's side.

Chu Zhongtian and Signorino were under tremendous pressure, and they couldn't call for support yet, because the pressure on their teammates in other positions was not much less than theirs. In addition, the full-backs also needed to be involved in the defense, but because Proman was sent off, the team was short of people, and the tactical strategy was adjusted accordingly. The team's counterattack all relied on two fast full-backs, so naturally they couldn't put too much energy into the defense, otherwise once there was a counterattack opportunity, Ribery and Menez were wasted because they were involved in the defense in the second half and couldn't run up in time, which would be miserable.

There is one statistic that shows how disadvantaged Metz is right now.

When Metz dominated in the first half, they had nine shots on goal compared to Sevilla's six. Halfway through the second half, Sevilla had 16 shots on goal, compared to 11 for Metz.

The goalkeeper made five saves in the first half when Palop had three and now nine and six for Humby. From corners, Metz had five and Sevilla had nine. Foul Metz fifteen times and Sevilla ten times.

In terms of possession, Sevilla FC has jumped from 47 per cent to 72 per cent today.

Metz is on the back foot across the board.

In the 65th minute of the game, Fabiano burst into the penalty area to face the defense of two Metz players and cleverly passed the football to Canute.

Kanoute made physical contact with Jyove after stopping the ball and fell into the box. The football made Traore, the defender who came up, kick it out.

The Sevilla fans in the stands once again issued a "penalty!" Jayovi jumped up from the ground and shook his fingers to show that he had not committed a foul. Metz fans thought Kanute was faking a penalty and booed them in a shrill voice.

Referee Busaka didn't mean to blow for a penalty, he just hooked his hands to signal the two men to get up from the ground, so as not to delay the game. Seeing this, Canute slapped the ground angrily.

"Still want a penalty?" Jayovi turned back to Canute and yelled, "You tripped me up!" ”

Although Kanute is a player for the Mali national team, he played for three seasons in Lyon, France, and his birthplace is also Lyon, so French is his native language. Of course he understood what Iove was saying.

Hearing Yayiovi's words, he glared at the young man.

Jayovi didn't dwell on Kanute, he said this and turned and ran.

The Spanish commentator was unrelenting: "It was a miscalculation!" This should be a penalty! Busaka, the Swiss referee, must have been punished for Promans before, and now he is looking for a balance on this! ”

Sevilla took the throw-in, Adriano received it, dribbled sideways and fired from distance, but the ball was ridiculously deflected.

Sevilla FC soon made a comeback and Keylor Navas easily broke through Signorino and then crossed with his feet. Traore and Rodriguez focused on the 1.92-meter-tall Canoute, who managed to get the ball out of the crowd and headed it to Puerta, who was at the back post, and Puerta volleyed in. The ball hit Cabo's body and popped off the bottom line.

Even Sevilla's full-backs were able to shoot from in the Metz penalty area, which shows how fierce Sevilla's offensive has been during this period.

In the 69th minute, Metz finally got another chance to counterattack.

Chu Zhongtian, Signorino and Traore teamed up to cut off the cooperation between Navas and Alves, Traore cut off the football and handed it to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian made a long pass to Menez in front.

Menez looked left and right after dribbling the ball, and there was no one of his teammates, so he had to break through with the ball himself.

In front of him was Escude, flanked by Navarro, just two of Sevilla's centre-backs, while Paulsen and Alves were still in defence.

Menez did not hesitate to face his fellow Frenchman Escude and performed a feint of pedaling his bike.

Taking advantage of Escud's unstable center of gravity, he changed direction and accelerated, shaking off the opponent. Next, Navarro was preoccupied with Menez's breakthrough, but he didn't expect Menez to suddenly shoot from a distance of twenty-five or six meters from the goal!

The shot was sudden, but it was too far away, and the ball rolled forward against the turf, and when the speed and power in front of goal had waned, Palop easily pressed the ball under him.

"He should try to keep the ...... passing" The French commentator was sorry for Menez to shoot so hastily.

※※※ In the 70th minute, even the fans in the stands and the spectators in front of the TV could see that the physical exertion of the whole team was very high. The Metz players always took every time to rest and recover on the field, they bent down, put their hands on their knees, gasped for air, and the red Metz jersey was completely soaked and darker.

Even Boyovi, who would only come up in the second half, was not much better. His usual stamina is very good, but under the fierce and suffocating attack of his opponent, his physical energy is also rapidly consumed, and due to the peculiarity of his position, the consumed physical strength has not been replenished at all.

If there is anyone in the team who has no physical fitness problem, there are only goalkeeper Wenbi and captain Chu Zhongtian.

Wenbi is because he doesn't need to run and sprint back and forth in a wide range, what about Chu Zhongtian? He ran the most distance in the team, his jersey was already soaked, beads of sweat were dripping down the tips of his hair, and the traces of sweat on his neck sparkled in the night light.

Still, he was running with a lot of energy, still bearing the onslaught of Navas, Alves and Marti.

Navas originally planned to break through Chu Zhongtian, but when he knocked the ball out, he found that it was himself, not his opponent, who could not exert his strength. On the contrary, Chu Zhongtian kicked out suddenly, stuck the position, and broke the ball.

Navas's thighs didn't exert force, and he was squeezed behind Chu Zhongtian by half a beat late, and he kicked Chu Zhongtian down from behind with too big a counterattack, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"Foul!"

He stood in place, gasping for breath, looking at Chu Zhongtian who had gotten up from the ground.

The other party's body was also covered with sweat, and his arms were coated with a layer of sweat, shiny. But why is he still so powerful? On the contrary, I am a little overwhelmed.

Sweat slid down his forehead, hung on his brows, and could flow into his eyes at any moment. Navas wiped his eyes, but they were still watery, because his arms were covered in sweat.

Juander. Ramos saw this scene below and felt pity in his heart.

He believes that as long as the pressure continues, Chu Zhongtian will definitely collapse, but it is a pity that the team's most dangerous wide player, Jesus. Navas is exhausted...... Navas has homesickness, and as soon as he leaves home, he will not feel comfortable, and he will not eat well or rest well. He didn't get a good night's sleep before the final, and according to his roommate Puerta, Navas almost tossed and turned in bed for the night.

How can you maintain your physical strength during the competition with such a rest?

Now it seems that if Navas continues to stay on the field, his offensive contribution to the team will be very small.

On the one hand, Metz has shrunk the defensive line, and Navas has no room to break through to survive, and his role is much smaller. Secondly, his physical strength could no longer support it.

It seems that the only way to replace him is to replace him.
