Ribery stood on the field, looking up at the stands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Chu Zhongtian next to info touched him: "Those relatives of yours are here, right?" ”

Ribery nodded: "They called me, but I couldn't find them in the stands......"

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "It's strange if you can find it, there are so many people." He also looked up at the stands, in fact, he also wanted to find Boss John in the stands, but finding a few people out of 52,000 people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now they're back on the turf at Hampton Park, and the game is about to begin.

Captain Promans is picking sides with the opposing team's coin guess.

When he first appeared, Chu Zhongtian was still a little excited, but now his mood has calmed down a lot.

Aside from the off-field significance, this game is actually no different from any football game, with eleven men on each side, and the game time is 90 minutes, except for the goalkeeper, no other players can touch the ball with their hands, and they have to hit the football into the opponent's goal to score...... We must strive for victory.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian's psychological fluctuations are not large.

Promans ran back and said to his teammates who had gathered, "They kick off." ”

Then he got everyone anxious: "Guys, what are we working so hard for all season? What did we give up the league for? Do a great job! Let them know we're awesome! ”

"Oh!"

Everyone agreed.

The pre-match preparations were over, and everyone returned to their positions and waited for the game to begin.

※※※ Chu Zuosheng sat in front of the TV and drank a big sip of strong tea, his wife had just washed her face from the toilet, and she was still a little sleepy, sitting listlessly next to her husband, and then yawned a lot.

"Who told you to watch a Korean drama for so long?" Chu Zuosheng saw his wife like this, so he said.

Zhou Xiaoxiang ignored him, got up and went to make coffee for herself again, she couldn't get used to her husband's kind of strong tea, two-thirds of a cup of water was tea, and it was miserable to drink. Or is it the coffee that makes her feel more comfortable.

When she returned from coffee, she saw her son.

"Chu Zhongtian still started this game, and it seems that his injury really has no impact." The commentator of Sichuan TV is introducing Chu Zhongtian's situation to the audience. "He had a muscle strain in his left leg before the game, which once made people wonder that he wouldn't be able to compete in the final, and now that he's standing here, the injury is healed. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief......"

Yes, Zhou Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at his son.

Like him, there are many Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV - Chu Zhongtian appeared, and this game will be interesting for them.

In fact, when the whole Metz team gathered in a circle for the final mobilization before the game, the Sevilla players were already in their respective positions. They don't need to do that kind of thing, and it's not the first time they've played in a League Cup final.

When the Metz players returned to their positions, the referee looked down at his watch. Then he waved his hand and blew the whistle in his mouth.

※※※"The race has begun! The narrator's voice came over the TV. Audience friends, the 2006-2007 UEFA Cup final has finally begun. Because of the participation of Chinese player Chu Zhongtian, this game also attracted the attention of many people...... Metz was one of the big underdogs in this season's UEFA Cup, beating Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Tottenham Hotspur and Espanyol to reach the final. They are against defending champions Sevilla......"

Chu Zuosheng didn't listen to the narrator's words at all.

He stared at his son on the TV screen, trying to see from his running posture if his injury had really recovered.

Judging from the first minute of the game, he didn't notice anything wrong.

Maybe it's really okay?

※※※ The players in the middle of the midfield in this game are Chu Zhongtian and Proman, the latter is more focused on defense, but Chu Zhongtian also needs to participate in defense, such as when the opponent attacks.

Sevilla took advantage of the kick-off and launched an attack. They passed the football to the wings, and as Chu Zhongtian saw in the video, Sevilla are a team that is very good at attacking from the wings. According to Coach Fernandez's requirements, if the opponent plays on the wing, then Chu Zhongtian and Promans, the two backs, must have one person to support them on the side. They attack the right side of Metz, that is, Promans used to assist in the defense, if they attack the left side, Chu Zhongtian will go up to support the defense.

Now Sevilla FC have passed the ball to their left wing-back, Adriano, and naturally it is Proman who has stepped up to assist in the defence.

Adriano didn't rush forward with the ball, but waited. Soon, the man he was waiting for came up - Sevilla's left wing-back Puerta cut in from behind at high speed.

Both Promans and Franck Franck Ribery, who assisted in the defence, both knew that Sevilla were good at attacking from the wings, and their wide attacks were sharp. So when he saw Puerta plugged in from behind Adriano, Promans put down Adriano and went after Puerta instead. Now there is only one Ribery in front of Adriano, who is not good at defending.

Adriano had no intention of passing the ball to Puerta, and in the face of Ribery, he slammed the ball into the middle and then started to shake off the unsuspecting Ribery.

Sevilla's wing tactics have a tradition, and Puerta doesn't think that Adriano has to pass the ball to him after he plugs in, it's just a run that draws the attention of the opponent's defense, and seeing Promans attracted to him, the task is already done, and it's done well.

Adriano, who had passed Ribery, did not continue to cut inside and instead passed the ball to Paulsen, who was picking up him in the middle.

Seeing that the football was shifted to the middle, Proment no longer followed Puerta and returned to the middle, ready to defend in the middle.

Paulsen watched for a moment before passing the ball to the right wing-back, Daniel, who had already pressed up. Alves.

Keylor Navas waited to receive the ball near the touchline in front of him, with Metz's left wing-back Signorino near him to prevent him from breaking through. Now it is the team's left wing-back Felicio who is defending Alves.

Chu Zhongtian pressed on the ribs, so that he could not only quickly support the side, but also be able to return to the middle in time, so as not to be led by the opponent's nose.

Daniel. Alves is a full-back with a strong ability to assist, and he did not give up on breaking forward against Felicio, he passed the ball forward to Navas, and he continued to want to get forward, regardless of the space behind him.

Navas held the ball and waited for Alves to plug in.

Seeing Alves forward at high speed, Chu Zhongtian, who was still in the ribs, also started to run to the side, aiming to follow Alves. He knew what the opponent would play, and he was almost vomiting on the video of Sevilla's game.

Felicio was still running after Alves, but he was not as fast as his opponent and was soon left behind.

Seeing his teammates throw the opponent away, Navas passed the ball over.

Daniel. Alves glanced back at the ball and was ready to let the ball pass, so that he could break through the opponent's defense without slowing down.

Just as he gave up the football, a pair of feet arrived.

Chu Zhongtian saw the right time, shoveled with his foot, and just shoveled the football that Alves let him pass out of the sideline, and Alves reflexively jumped up and was able to avoid this flying tackle.

"Wow, Chu made a very critical tackle as soon as he came up! If there is a slight deviation, let this tackle be flashed by the opponent, in front of Alves is the penalty area of Metz! The narrator praised Chu Zhongtian for his accurate tackle.

"Judging by his sprint tackle, there's nothing wrong with his thigh. A healthy chuke is difficult to deal with, Sevilla should be careful! ”

Fullback Signorino expressed his gratitude to Chu Zhongtian, he was empty behind him after being pulled out by Navas, which he knew very well, but he couldn't help it, he could only rely on his teammates to make up for such a vacancy. Chu, as his teammate, has never let him down.

Sevilla FC were not deplored by the failure of the attack, and the head coach on the sidelines, Juan de Ander. Ramos even nodded.

※※※ Next is Mace's counterattack.

Those who are familiar with Metz will know that they rarely kick a goal kick forward, because that doesn't guarantee that the possession will still be on their side. Therefore, their goal kicks are directly passed to Chu Zhongtian by goalkeeper Wenbi, and then Chu Zhongtian organizes the football to the front through a series of passing and running.

Metz has studied Seville, and Sevilla has studied Metz.

So Chu Zhongtian just ran back and was about to ask for the ball, when he found that there was an extra player behind him. It's Danish midfielder Paulsen.

A back back has been pushed to this position, so Chu Zhongtian has to pay more attention to him.

By watching the video of the game and consulting the information, he still knows a little about Paulson. This midfielder can attack and defend well, and his style is tough, quite a bit of the "desperate Saburo" style of AC Milan Gattuso. He's a tough defensive player to play against.

Out of a cautious attitude, Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to Wen Bi, signaling him not to pass the football to himself first, but to others.

So Wembie passed the football to full-back Ibrahim. Kabo. Chu Zhongtian ran towards Kabo again, and he saw that Paulson was still following him. So he continued to gesture to Cabo and told him not to pass the ball to him, but to pass straight forward.

"Pass it to Jeremy!" He shouted at Kabo.

Cabo makes a long pass with a big foot and kicks forward.

Sevilla FC plays 442, focusing on two wings and no forward midfielders, so two central midfielders are placed in the middle of the midfield, or two midfielders. Paulsen was brought out by him, and Sevilla's central defense naturally became weak, with only one Marti.

As soon as Menez received the ball, Marti pressed it on.

He wasn't in a hurry to turn around, because he saw that Chu Zhongtian had already run up. Of course, there was also a Paulson with long blond hair by his side.

He saw Chu Zhongtian hooking his hand at him and signaling for a pass.

Menez passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian.

Seeing the football rolling towards Chu Zhongtian, Paulson accelerated violently to overtake, intending to grab the football in advance and cut off the football.

Chu Zhongtian instead of stepping forward to grab Paulson, but braked sharply, twisted his body, and blocked Paulson behind him, and at the same time he let the football roll in front of him, and then turned around and ran back, receiving the football.

Paulson was shaken by him, and when he wanted to come up and grab the ball again, Chu Zhongtian had already passed the football out.

But Paulson didn't give up there, he continued to keep a certain distance from Chu Zhongtian, neither getting too close, but also not letting him disappear from his control.

Chu Zhongtian knew that the person who was specifically responsible for marking him in this game was Paulson.

Mace's attack was not organized by Chu Zhongtian in the end, but was handed over to Menez. After Felicio passed the ball to Ibisevic, Ibiševic fired the ball high after the opposition centre-back Navarro let go.

After that, Sevilla FC organized several attacks, all of which focused on the left side of Metz, which is their own right flank. Then the Sevilla players determined one thing - the area where Chu Zhongtian was responsible for assisting the defense was this wing.

After that, they really started to focus on this side corridor.

Alves is the best attacking right wing-back in La Liga, on a par with Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, who was also developed by Sevilla.

Not to mention Keylor Navas, the best right midfielder in La Liga, with outstanding speed, delicate technique and brilliant dribbling skills, he is unguardable.

The combination of the two of them attacking down the right flank has made their opponents suffer in both La Liga and the UEFA Cup. Alves's style has an indomitable momentum in it, and with his hideous expression and appearance, it is very shocking. Navas's style is like Peter Pan, light and elegant, you can never catch him, you can only watch him go around you, like a butterfly, but you can't catch him.

The two men have different styles, but they complement each other perfectly, and they are the attacking combination that Sevilla rely on the most.

When Alves rushed up again to attract the defensive attention of Chu Zhongtian and others, Navas did not pass the ball, but chose to break through by himself, he knocked the football out lightly, and then broke through Signorino with his dexterous body and fast speed, and then faced Felicio's supplementary defense, and then used his speed to drive the football away and continue to divide the ball.

Felicio tried to pull his jersey and use fouls to stop him, but it didn't work out. The nimble Navas simply doesn't give opponents a chance to pull on his shirt. It's like a loach, just like that, it penetrated Mace's defense line and rushed straight to the bottom line!

"This is a good opportunity for Sevilla!"

The breakaway Navas crosses with his feet and the ball arcs through the air towards the Metz goal.

Sammy. Traore and Rodriguez both centre-backs leaped high to try to stop Sevilla's shot.

But the ball was still preempted by Kanute, and the ball changed direction and flew towards the goal, only slightly higher in the end.

The players and fans of Metz were shocked into a cold sweat.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian went to the side because of the supplement, so he did not participate in the battle in front of the goal.

Although the football didn't score, it made Chu Zhongtian feel a little nervous - if it goes on like this, our goal will be broken by the opponent sooner or later.

In terms of speed alone, he can't catch up with Navas. Therefore, if you want to defend against Navas, you have to find another way, and one-on-one defense will definitely not prevent Navas. There are several ways to break his ball, the first is to rely on the advantage of numbers to defend him, one can't be prevented, just two, two are still dangerous. Another way is to make accurate tackles at the right time.

Keylor Navas is a player who is afraid of physical contact and is thin, so he always plays without physical confrontation with others, and goes around when he can. This is his characteristic, but it is also his flaw.

To prevent him, you have to take advantage of this.

Chu Zhongtian decided to help Signorino defend Navas. As for Alves, it continued to be handed over to Felicio.

He told two people about his intentions, and no one objected. In the face of the joint assault of Navas and Alves, the defense here is indeed very tight, and with Chu Zhongtian joining, I believe it will be easier.

Chu Zhongtian moved his position to the side and became more involved in the defense, and the combined assault of Navas and Alves finally weakened, but Mace's attack was also much less.

For this game, let's. Fernandes' instructions to the team were to defend on the counter-attack, and in such an important game, he would not play against Sevilla, who were better than Metz in terms of experience and strength.

So there are fewer attacks, and he doesn't care.

But Sevilla attacked his side again and again, which made him a little confused.

On this side, there were at least three men defending, and Sevilla's attack was also stubbornly blocked, but despite this, they continued to attack repeatedly and did not move the football to another wing or center, why is that?

*※※ Signorino faced Navas, and Alves stepped forward from his side, followed by Felicio.

Keylor Navas made a feint to pass the ball and then passed the ball to Marti, who was picking up him in the middle. Then he cut into the position.

Marti was sending the ball straight in front of him, a ball over the top.

Alves didn't pick it up, but leaked it to Navas, who rushed up from behind, and at the same time he helped Navas block the chasing Signorino.

In this way, when Navas unloaded the football from the air, he faced only Chu Zhongtian as the defender.

Navas didn't stop the ball in place, and as soon as it hit the ground, he flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot towards the baseline.

This is a posture to break through from the bottom line and slip in, Chu Zhongtian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated and turned around and ran towards the bottom line. Navas caught up with the football and then made a cross, Chu Zhongtian was just in place to immediately make another action to block the cross, he dragged his right leg behind, and his left leg stretched forward, hoping to stop the football.

Keylor Navas's cross was just a feint as he took the ball from his right foot to his left foot.

At this time, when Chu Zhongtian wanted to turn around and block again, his left leg was used as a support leg but he didn't exert any force, he sat down on the ground, and could only watch Navas break through and then cross. This time the ball was headed out by Traore, and then Marti, who had been on the outside, won the ball and fired a long-range shot that went wide of the goal. This offensive of Seville is over.

When Chu Zhongtian was shaken to the ground, the Sevilla fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers. From the beginning of the game, when Chu Zhongtian shoveled Alves' ball, Sevilla fans have been eyeing Chu Zhongtian, and now they are very happy to see Chu Zhongtian make a fool of himself.

Chu Zhongtian knew why his left leg couldn't exert his strength, he was injured there, although he could play on the field, he was always unable to compare to the situation where there was no problem at all. Coupled with the constant absence from training, his physical condition has not been adjusted to the best.

He understands why Keylor Navas and Alves have been attacking this wide side because he is in charge of helping to defend this side.

Sevilla must have thought they were playing with an injury, and as long as they kept putting pressure on themselves, the injury would get worse and eventually they had to go down early.

It's just a little strain, do you think I'm a bully? You don't really believe the media hype, do you?

Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting on the ground, listened to the boos and gloating laughter from the stands, and did not show anger, but laughed.
