Chapter 22: The debut of Ligue 2, the last twenty minutes!
Alfred sighed softly: "I hope Ligue 2 can give him a little setback!" Sharpen his temperament! We need a striker like that. ”
"Boss, you say, what if he plays well in Pau and scores a long-range shot every game?" An assistant coach spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the other assistant coaches were all silent.
The decision to lease Chen Ting was made by them together.
If Chen Ting does well in Pau, help them get out of the relegation zone.
That's undoubtedly a slap in the face of these people.
Alfred's face also became a little unnatural, and he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Probably not! Although Ligue 2 is not as good as the first division, it is not something that any novice can gain a foothold. ”
Other assistant coaches chimed in.
"That's right! You can only play twenty minutes per game, what good can you do with twenty minutes? ”
"Don't be too bad, don't let Pau return!"
"Alright, let's watch the game seriously!" Alfred's words ended everyone's comments on Chen Ting.
……
It's been forty minutes since the game was played on the Neuss Stadium.
The two sides are still very conservative and have no passion at all.
There were a few shots on goal, but they were tentative and didn't get much effect.
Even the number of shots on target is very small.
Caen's mentality is simple, as long as they get one point in a draw, they don't have to worry about going into the relegation zone if they maintain the status quo.
There can't be a better result anyway, and there's no point in trying to get three points.
But the situation for Pau is not so rosy.
In the relegation zone, they can't be as hopeless as Caen.
Otherwise, you will have to wait for a downgrade.
But because they don't have a good striker up front, they have a hard time organising the attack.
"Toot! Dut-"
As the referee blew a short and long whistle, the first half was over.
Players from both sides return to their locker rooms.
The Caen players looked relaxed.
The Pau players were saddened.
Chen Ting got up and walked to the locker room with his teammates who were also sitting on the bench next to him.
In the dressing room, Pau's starters sat in their chairs, all silent.
It wasn't until Chen Ting walked into the locker room that they all stood up.
Look at the head coach Chrétien.
"Coach, let Chen play! If we go on like this, we'll only get one point at most. ”
"There is no difference between a point and a zero point! What we need is three points! ”
"Yes, Coach, let Chen play, we need his shot."
Chrétien's face was also solemn.
The contract stipulates that Chen Ting's playing time is only 20 minutes, which must be used at the most important time.
He turned to Chen Ting: "Chen, when do you think you will play better?" ”
Chen Ting said lightly: "You hold on for another twenty-five minutes, just hold the goal and wait for me to play."
"In the last twenty minutes, I promise to score!"
The players froze.
Playing in the last twenty minutes?
Guaranteed goals?
Coach Chrétien was also puzzled, but when he thought of Chen Ting's wonderful goal in the training match.
He couldn't help but want to believe Chen Ting.
"Just do what Chen said! In the second half, we continued to stick to the goal and never let the opponent score, understand? ”
"Got it!" A loud voice rang out in the locker room.
Now if they want to win the game, they can only hope for Chen Ting.
In the remaining minutes, Chrétien briefly laid out the tactics of the defense.
In fact, there is nothing to arrange, it is nothing more than to play defense in front of the goal.
"Toot!"
The second half started and the situation was even more boring than the first.
The Caen team had no intention of attacking, and the Pau team also completely chose to defend.
What kind of fierce game can two turtles play?
Fortunately, Ligue 2 fans are also used to seeing such games, and there is not much boos in the stands.
On the contrary, a large number of fans continued to cheer for their home team.
Chen Ting noticed this and nodded secretly.
Maybe that's the real football atmosphere.
The dull time passed quickly, and the game on the field came to the sixty-fifth minute.
"Chen, it's time for you to perform, let's go warm up first!"
"Good!"
Chen Ting got up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.
Seeing Chen Ting's movements, the players of the Pau team on the field became excited.
"Chen is coming! Hold on a little longer! ”
"I'll find an opportunity to pass the ball to him!"
"Come on, come on!"
The Pau fans in the stands on the sidelines also saw Chen Ting and talked about it.
"That Dragon Kid is coming!"
"Twenty minutes left, what's the use of playing now?"
"I guess the coach is also pretentious, and I don't want to embarrass him too much."
"I hope it can be of some use......
The distance between the stands and the stadium was not far, and Chen Ting also heard the conversations of these fans.
He didn't care, just smiled.
They don't mean anything malicious, and every new signing who comes on the pitch will be treated like that.
Maybe that's the culture on the pitch.
As long as he shows a wonderful performance, these comments now will all be replaced by cheers in the sky.
Chen Ting was looking forward to that moment.
"Toot!"
Seeing Chen Ting finish warming up, the Pau defender with the ball immediately kicked the ball out of bounds.
The fourth official held up the substitution card.
No. 18 Chen Ting played.
The substituted No. 7 player stretched out his fist and gently hit Chen Ting in the chest.
"Brother, you have to score a goal! Please! ”
Chen Ting nodded lightly and ran onto the court.
His steps grew brisker and brisk, and there was a sense of unreality.
It was his first time on the pitch of a professional game, and he was thrilled.
Although the Pau fans on the sidelines had doubts about Chen Ting's strength, they still gave him some polite applause.
Chen Ting listened greedily to the applause that echoed in the stadium.
He also wanted louder applause.
Then score a goal!
……
As Chen Ting took to the court, the pace of the Pau team slowly increased.
After the Caen team sent a throw-in, they kept kicking around the center circle and immediately returned the ball when they were pressed.
One of Caen's defenders picked up the ball and played a long ball towards Pau's half.
One of Pau defenders jumped up and cleared the ball before the opposition striker was in place.
Another defender took a look at Chen Ting after holding the ball at his feet empty.
With a delicate 45-degree diagonal pass, the football reached Chen Ting's feet.
Chen Ting broke through with the ball, and the Pau striker on the right quickly inserted.
Pau launched the first attack of the game.
In the face of the three-man defense, Chen Ting did not hesitate and transferred the ball to his No. 11 teammate on the right side.
Then insert into the box and wait for a team-mate's return pass.
As long as a teammate can pass the ball back, he can shoot from distance.
