Chapter 101: Regional Rush! Paris strikes back

readx;

The Paris Saint-Germain goal in the first half was just under a stand where Metz fans gathered, so the attack that Chu Zhongtian participated in was clearly seen by Metz fans from a very close distance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info This naturally includes Emily.

She saw Chu Zhongtian leap high and shake his head in the air to attack the door.

Then she jumped up from her seat with her arms raised and like the other Metz fans around her!

Some people were shouting "goal", some people were shouting "long live", and she was shouting Chu Zhongtian's surname: "Chu-!" ”

Then all the Metz fans in the stadium shouted along with her: "Chu-!! ”

"The ball is in!! It's unbelievable! Just one minute and fifty seconds into the game, the football flew into the goal of Paris Saint-Germain! It was the fastest goal in the history of the French Cup final! Did anyone think of it before the game? ”

"Chu's header! Paris Saint-Germain did not mark him at all, allowing him to shake his head calmly in the air...... It was a fatal mistake by PSG! ”

"Chu! Yes, it's Chu! It's Chu again! He always scores goals for the team in such crucial games! It was his fourth goal of the season! It's not a lot of goals, but it's the ball! ”

"Beautiful header! He jumped higher than anyone else! The tall Chu headed Oblagnac's pass into the goal! ”

“chu! chu! chuchuchuchuchuchuuuuuuuuuuuu!! Heroes of Metz! ”

'Metz scored in the first two minutes, they got off to a good start, it was a great start!'

The commentators and announcers of various TV and radio stations were shouting excitedly.

After landing on the ground, Chu Zhongtian glanced at the goal of Paris Saint-Germain, and he saw that the football that was caught in the net was falling, and the goalkeeper Alonzo, who had just taken off to save the ball, also fell to the ground.

He was sure the ball was in!

He turned his head again and saw his ecstatic teammate Ribery, the kid laughed so hard that the scar on his face was twisted, it was really a "hideous smile". He wanted to hug himself, but Chu Zhongtian didn't pounce, he ran to the Metz fan stand behind the Paris Saint-Germain goal with open arms. With a billboard in front of him, he jumped over the billboard and ran all the way to the bottom of the stands, waving his arms vigorously at the fans above.

His actions were cheered so loudly by the fans that he even heard saliva songs written especially for him by the fans - the lyrics were simple and easy to understand, and the melody was catchy.

“…… You should know that I am Chu (tu_dois_savoir_que_chui_chu), because my body is strong like a pillar (parce_que_chui_fort_me_un_fut)! Didn't you see me crush my opponent (j'ecrase_les_rivaux_tu_n'a_pas_vu)? After tonight's game (apres_le_match_dans_la_nuit), you will know that I am Chu (tu_dois_savoir_que_chui_chu)! I'm Chu!! (ps, thank you reader "Li Xiance" for this fan song for Chu Zhongtian!) Emily was a little surprised at first when she heard the song that suddenly came to mind, because it reminded her of her days at Wimbledon, where she and her friends at the Wimbles Bar had composed a song for Chu Zhongtian and then sang it for the first time against Chelsea.

It all felt like it was yesterday...... The melody of this song is really simple, and the lyrics are also very simple, Emily can hum along after listening to it twice, and simply sing it out loud after listening to it again, using this way to cheer for Chu Zhongtian.

“…… You should know that I am Chu, because my body is as strong as a pillar! Didn't you see me crushing my opponent? After tonight's game, you'll know I'm Chu! I'm Chu! I-yes-Chu!! ”

Chu Zhongtian has been treated as a songwriter by the fans, and his status in the hearts of Metz fans is no longer comparable, no, maybe only Ribery can compare with him...... It's a pity that he himself didn't hear what the singing voice suddenly sounded in the stands, because he was soon surrounded by excited teammates, who slapped his head and shoulders and screamed in his ear.

"Well done! Man! Well done! ”

"Haha! What am I talking about, Chu? Listen to me! Let's kill them by surprise! "This is the proud Promans.

"Surprise the Parisians with their nostrils open! Now we are ahead! ”

"Champion! Champion! Oooooooo Champion Champion! ”

Coach Fernandes, who was sitting in the dugout, didn't expect his team to score so quickly, and when Chu Zhongtian put the ball into the Paris Saint-Germain goal, he was stunned for a moment before jumping up from his seat. And next to him assistant coach David . Carré was even more agitated and almost rushed to the field. He ran around with his arms raised in the coach's command area and came back to see Fernandez.

He shouted, "Did you see that? ”

Fernandez smiled brightly: "Yes, I saw it!" ”

The two high-fived each other.

Chu Zhongtian and his teammates waved to the Metz fans in the stands, and then ran back together. And on the pitch, PSG's players are back on their feet and waiting for kick-off.

They were also a little unprepared for conceding the ball so early. But for them, conceding too early is not necessarily a bad thing, which means they will have the time of the whole game to equalise or even overtake.

Metz's players ran back to the pitch, and the emotions of all parties calmed down at this time. Only the Metz fans were still singing songs written to Chu.

Emily sang together in the stands.

※※※The signal on the Internet is delayed by three to five minutes compared to the actual live broadcast of the match. When the Stade de France had already kicked off, on the Chinese Internet, those fans who waited all night to watch Chu Zhongtian's game saw Chu Zhongtian score.

"This is a free kick, you see, it's going up every day, it's definitely going to be a top fight......" Chu Zuosheng served as a commentator for Zhou Xiaoxiang, Gao Jie felt that this scene was quite warm, so he sat quietly next to him without disturbing.

"Okay, now the ball is out...... Ay? Ay...... Entered? Entered! The ball is in! The ball is in! Score every day!! ”

Chu Zuosheng suddenly shouted, and Gao Jie, who was sitting behind him, also raised his arms and stood up from the stool.

The computer sound transmitted the loud cheers of the Stade de France to the small room.

Zhou Xiaoxiang also applauded.

"Great, Lao Chu! Your son's performance is so good! Gao Jie slapped his face vigorously and said to Chu Zuosheng. At the same time, he already plans to give a short interview on the spot after half-time or after the game, and send it to the newspaper that will be on the market early tomorrow morning. I believe it will be able to attract people's attention - Chengdu Wayang French Cup final! What great news this is!

Like Chu Zuosheng's family, in the Internet café, Kang Jianbo also jumped up from his chair, and he was still wearing headphones, he waved his fist vigorously, and shouted loudly as if no one was around: "Yay! Yes! Fuck me! It's pretty! Pretty!! ”

This Internet café is where Kang Jianbo often comes to charter the night, and the network administrator is completely accustomed to Kang Jianbo's behavior. In the past, there were also people who were also staying overnight and complained to the network administrator, hoping that the network administrator would manage this crazy man, and the network administrator said to the person: "This is the ...... to watch Chinese football"

The complainant suddenly had a look of disdain on his face and said no more. He thinks that anyone who watches Chinese football is crazy, with abnormal nerves, and he can't make the same sense as a psychopath.

Kang Jianbo didn't care what others thought of him, and after venting for a while, he sat down again. His QQ group and website forums have been flooded with many excited messages and posts.

※※※After the restart of the game, the players of Metz seemed to be still immersed in the excitement and joy of the previous one, and a little absent-minded.

Defender Promans' pass to centre-back Meniri was almost cut off by PSG's players, sending him into a cold sweat.

For the PSG players, this game was their only chance to redeem themselves.

The team has had a poor season with poor league standings and a lot of scandals. Coupled with the fact that the team has just changed owners, it has been a stormy season. And this French Cup title is the only honour they can fight for, and they are eager to use it to justify themselves and show those who see their jokes that Paris Saint-Germain are still a strong team!

Metz's goal did not break them, but only fueled them further.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Lacombe stood on the sidelines, gesturing to his players to be more positive. Give the carried away Mace a little color and take a look!

After Chu Zhongtian scored the goal, he quickly became the focus of Paris Saint-Germain's attention. This season, as long as the players in Ligue 1 know that Chu Zhongtian is the core of Metz. Before the game, Lakombou also asked the players to pay extra attention to the Chinese, and it was important to freeze him during the game.

"As long as you freeze him, you will freeze Mace! Ribery and Menez can only fight alone, and their three lines will be completely lost, so they must follow him every step of the way! ”

The goal was scored too early and the Metz players thought they could easily win the game, or that PSG was nothing remarkable.

But when they passed the football to Chu Zhongtian in a row, they found that things were not as simple as they imagined.

Chu Zhongtian was heavily targeted by Paris Saint-Germain.

And not alone in defending him. When he drops back to receive a pass, Pauletta or Kalou will come up and press him closely, forcing him to pass back instead of turning and delivering the ball forward.

When he enters the PSG half, he is defended by two midfielders, Mbami or Dorasso (vikash_dhorasoo), and when he receives on the wing, one of these two midfielders will certainly follow him and prevent him from receiving and passing the ball easily.

This brought a lot of trouble to Chu Zhongtian. There were a couple of times when he had just received the ball and was ruined by his opponent's interference from behind. Even though the football was still at his feet, his pass was missing the accuracy of his opponent's close pressing.

And once Chu Zhongtian couldn't play his level, Mace's attack suddenly lost its direction and rhythm. People don't know how to attack, and they don't know how to master the rhythm.

Ribery can only run blindly on the flanks again and again, or simply go it alone, only choosing to pass the ball back when he can't break through. Menez, on the other hand, looked like he was out of the ranks of the entire Metz team because he couldn't catch the ball.

Mace's three musketeers suddenly went into a collective fire after taking the lead.

By the 10th minute, PSG had taken the initiative. They broke the ball from Chu Zhongtian's feet and then attacked. Chu Zhongtian, on the other hand, lost his inspiration in attack and looked more like a defender who was specifically responsible for defense.

It all started with Metz scoring a goal in the opening two minutes, underestimating the difficulty of this final.

The Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands came alive as they chanted slogans and cheered on their team. Those slogans completely suppressed the singing and shouting of the Metz fans, and now they could let out a bad breath of being scored at the beginning of the game.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian knew that the root of the team's current problems was himself, because he did not play at a normal level, and was embarrassed by Paris Saint-Germain's ubiquitous close defense. He's trying hard to find his rhythm, and only when he's playing normally can he make the team normal.

That's the responsibility of a team core.

It's just that the close defense of the Paris Saint-Germain players is really strict...... He's not the kind of player who is very delicate in his small skills, and once he is pressed by the opponent, he can't use his foot skills to get out of the encirclement like Menez or Ribery.

He can only pass the ball to his teammates and then run to the next place to receive the ball.

And the PSG players won't let him go. Chu Zhongtian ran, and they also followed to catch up. Unless the Metz players pass the football to others, then they are not afraid, because the person responsible for directing the team's attack is Chu Zhongtian, and no one else.

Chu Zhongtian tried to make Menez retreat a little to organize the attack, from a striker to a forward midfielder. But it didn't work out very well. Because in the previous more than a week of training, Menez had not practiced this position. If you do it temporarily, it won't fit in with the team at all, so it's better to let him continue to be a striker.

Fifteen minutes later, PSG had 57 per cent possession and surpassed Metz in all other statistics.

Paris Saint-Germain had six shots on goal, while Metz had no more shots on goal except for Chu Zhongtian's header. Shots in the woodwork were three for PSG and one for Metz. Paris Saint-Germain also had a much higher pass success rate than Metz, with 51 per cent and PSG at 77.3 per cent.

It can be seen from the pass success rate that after Chu Zhongtian was contained, the impact on Mace.

"Lacombu had obviously studied Metz and Chu, and his tactics were very correct, and PSG completely contained Chu. Now it seems that conceding a goal less than two minutes into the game was just an accident. The final at Saint-Denis can actually be said to be the home of Paris Saint-Germain. According to statistics, nearly 40,000 Paris Saint-Germain fans came to watch the game, while Metz fans only had 20,000......"

※※※ Fernandez turned his head to look at his old friend Guy who was standing on the sidelines supervising the game. Laconbu. He had thoroughly studied the tactics of Chu Zhongtian and Mace, and his close defense against Chu Zhongtian was ubiquitous, and this arrangement did not make their own formation messy.

It's amazing to do such meticulous work under tremendous pressure...... Compared to him, his preparation seemed to be a little inadequate...... At least he didn't consider Plan B in training, such as letting Menez replace Chu Zhongtian as the team commander.

He originally thought that with Chu Zhongtian's running ability, no one would be able to freeze him. Now it seems that I am really trusting. It is true that no one can keep up with Chu Zhongtian's running, thus freezing him, but that is because there is only one person who defends Chu Zhongtian. And when the people defending Chu Zhongtian became eleven people, it was a different matter. If you can't keep up with one person, a whole team can always keep up, right?

Fernandez turned his gaze to the pitch and was silent as he looked at the somewhat embarrassed Metz players. He wondered if there was a way to crack his old friend's tactics.

In fact, this tactic was not the first of Lacombe's creation, and he borrowed it from others - he discovered it when he pored over some of the key match footage from his opponent in the final, Metz. In the first leg of the "Lorraine derby" of the season, Nancy used this tactic, combining zone defense and man-to-man defense to curb Chu Zhongtian's play. At that time, Nancy did bring some trouble to Chu Zhongtian, but unfortunately Nancy's own strength was not enough, and the players could not give full play to the power of this set of tactics, so in the end, it was a failure, allowing Chu Zhongtian to score two goals and become the best player in that game.

Paris Saint-Germain is not like Nancy, we have high-quality players, if we change this tactic a little bit to suit us better, maybe we can get better results?

So Lakombou designed such a set of tactics for Chu Zhongtian in training, let the team practice repeatedly, and finally came in handy in the finals!

After freezing Chu Zhongtian again, Paris Saint-Germain did not waste time and launched a tidal wave of attacks on Metz's goal, wave after wave, wave after wave.

Finally, in the 26th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity to steal the ball at Chu Zhongtian's feet, Paris Saint-Germain launched a quick counterattack and caught Metz off guard.

At that time, Chu Zhongtian took the ball and was about to attack, but in a foul steal by Paris Saint-Germain player Kalou, he fell to the ground and lost the ball. Promans only raised his hand to protest the steal to the referee, but did not step forward in time to block it, allowing Kalaw to rush over with the ball.

Making mistakes in the midfield position makes the back line very passive. Bobigoni and Meniri rushed up to defend Kalou almost at the same time, and Kalou seized the gap and split the ball.

He passed the ball to Pauletta, who, after attracting the attention of the Metz defenders, passed the ball back. The two of them played two over one!

Kalou, who received the ball again, pulled out his foot and shot angrily at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Football hits the net...... Paris Saint-Germain equalised!
