Chapter 21: The First Match of Ligue 2! Against Caen!

Although he was full of doubts about Chen Ting's strength, Chrétien did not show it.

Alfred promised him on the phone that he would definitely send in a player who was good at attacking.

Now, he can only hope that Chen Ting's performance on the court can be worthy of Alfred's evaluation.

Early the next morning, Chen Ting came to the training ground of the first team of Pau.

It's his first day of training here.

The players of the first team of Pau looked at Chen Ting, the eastern airspace, from afar, and couldn't help but whisper.

"I heard that guy is only seventeen years old."

"On loan from the Montpellier first team."

"Got into the first team of Ligue 1 at such a young age, genius, right?"

"Who knows, we'll see how he performs."

"Okay, pass him more and see how he goes."

Head coach Chrétien came to the sidelines and introduced Chen Ting to the other players.

After a few simple sets of physical training, the training match begins.

Chrétien was eager to see how Chen Ting would play in the game.

to determine how to arrange his place in the team.

The eighth minute of the game.

Chen Ting plugged in on the left side and ran out of the gap.

Seeing this, his teammates in the midfield immediately made a long pass to his feet.

Chrétien watched nervously on the pitch while discussing with the assistant coach next to him.

"What do you think he's going to do with the ball?"

The assistant coach thought for a moment: "If you continue to break through, there are three defenders in front of you, it's not good, right?" ”

"But if you pass back, your teammates are still a little far away, which is equivalent to wasting this opportunity."

'The only possibility is that the inside cuts and looks for an opportunity to hit the goal, but the chances of success are not high.

Chrétien nodded.

He thinks about the same thing as an assistant coach.

The conclusion is: there are not many chances in this attack, and it is difficult to produce goals.

"What! He ......"

Chrétien suddenly exclaimed.

The assistant coach opened his mouth wide: "So far, does he want to shoot?" ”

"Bang!"

There was a dull sound from the room.

Chen Ting kicked a long-range shot nearly 30 meters away from the goal.

This move stunned all the players and coaches of the Pau first team.

Everyone stared blankly at the goal.

The ball makes a graceful arc and crosses the goalkeeper's fingers.

The ball is in!

Seeing the football that rushed into the goal, Chen Ting smiled with satisfaction.

His teammates next to him looked at him with admiration.

"It's worthy of a French team, this shot is terrifying!"

"It seems that we are expected to be relegated."

“……”

Next to the pitch, Chrétien patted the assistant coach on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"We don't lose money on this wave of loans!"

The assistant coach nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a shot like this."

Chrétien smiled brightly: "With him, we are sure to leave the relegation zone." ”

"There's just one question I don't quite understand."

The assistant coach asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"This guy is so strong, why should Montpellier go out on loan? As far as I know, they're not protecting themselves now, right? ”

The assistant coach pinched his nose and said slowly: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that this player can only play twenty minutes per game. ”

Chrétien was stunned: "What? Twenty minutes?. ”

The assistant coach nodded awkwardly.

The smile on Chrétienne's face slowly faded.

"Alright! I hope what you say is true! As long as he can average one goal per game, it doesn't matter if it's ten minutes a game. ”

"It's a big deal, let's put the bus, just keep the score."

……

Time flew by and Chen Ting soon ushered in his first game for Pau.

The game was held in the morning.

The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless over the Noster Stadium.

Ligue 2 has attracted much more attention than the youth league, with two or three thousand fans scattered in the stands next to the stadium.

Most of them are Pau fans who have the advantage of playing at home.

As for the others, it is the fans of Pau's opponent today - Caen.

The news of Chen Ting's loan to Pau has long spread, and the eyes of most fans in the stands are on Chen Ting.

"It's really strange, that guy is said to be from the Dragon Country, don't the Dragon Country people not know how to play football?"

"I entered the Montpellier first team at a young age, and I definitely have some strength, but I don't know how to perform on the field."

"Let's wait and see, hopefully this guy will bring a little surprise."

"If he can get Pau out of the relegation zone, then I'd call him a hero."

“……”

In the enthusiastic atmosphere of the fans, players from both sides took to the pitch one after another.

To the surprise of the fans, Chen Ting, who was rumored to be in an uproar, did not play.

"What's going on? Spending so much money on loan back and not letting the starters? ”

"Maybe the strength is too poor, and the coach doesn't dare to let him go!"

'Well, let's put our hopes in our own players, as I said a long time ago, players on loan can't be reliable.

Chen Ting sat on the bench with some excitement in his heart.

It was the first time he had played in front of so many fans.

Although he came off the bench, he was full of anticipation.

How do the thousands of fans react when they score?

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Fans on both sides cheered enthusiastically.

Caen's team has a small number of fans, but it is not weak at all.

Holding the team flag, singing the team song, and shouting loudly to cheer for their team.

Caen is also not very strong, although not in the relegation zone, it is not much better than Pau.

It was a close game, so to speak.

After all, it is the French second league, and the pace of attack and defense is much faster than that of the youth league.

Although the strength of the players' feet is not as good as that of the players in Ligue 1, they also have a certain amount of ornamentation.

It is worth mentioning that both teams play very conservatively.

Instead of forcing offense, there is a special focus on defense.

Unless you are very sure, you will not attack casually.

And that's why they sit low in the league.

After all, it is difficult to win without attacking, and even if it is a draw, you can only get one point.

Three draws will give you the same number of points as one win.

Thirty minutes of the game passed, and Chen Ting on the sidelines was a little bored.

It's just boring.

If he had been replaced, he would have only needed one kick to change the score and help Pau take the lead.

……

At the same time, the Montpellier club.

Inside the office of first-team manager Alfred.

A group of coaches gathered together and watched the TV broadcast with great interest.

Alfred took a sip of water and said casually, "You say, when will that kid Chen Ting play?" ”

An assistant coach laughed: "I guess it's going to be the second half, after all, he just arrived at Pau and hasn't done anything yet." ”
