Mathilde, who closed the door, did not rush to leave, but leaned against it, raised his head and took a deep breath.

Before she came, she didn't expect that this would be the last class she gave to Chu. But the time she spent alone with Chu Zhongtian in the bathroom gave her this idea. When she taught Chu, she was always thinking about this matter. It was not until the end that she made up her mind.

Maybe it would be better to leave... Chu Zhongtian was still standing in the door. Although Mathilde had left, he reached out and touched his cheeks on both sides of his "kissed" by Mathilde - to be precise, he was rubbed.

Of course he knew that this kind of "kiss" is different from that between ordinary couples, but for him and Mathilde, even such a kiss seemed to have a special meaning... He suddenly sighed.

Mathilde outside heard Chu Zhongtian sigh, and she sighed silently.

She wrapped the scarf that Chu Zhongtian gave her around her neck, and the skin on her face felt the soft and warm feeling. Then she left Chu Zhongtian's house and walked slowly towards the stairs.

When Chu Zhongtian heard the footsteps, he realized that Mathilde had not left before, but when he opened the door and leaned out to look, nothing was left in the corridor except the dim lights. Only the footsteps echoed in the stairwell in front and reached his ears, from near to far, from clear to weak.

In the end, I can never hear it again.

He rushed back to the windowsill, pushed open the window, and watched the red scarf walk along the sidewalk into the distance, slowly disappearing from sight.

He did not call or try to keep him. He just watched the graceful figure leave.

※※ Four days later, Chu Zhongtian started for the first time for Metz, challenging the C-level team Rodez away. In this game, Ribery did not go with the team, and he was not even on the roster.

Since knowing that Ribery will not leave the team this winter, Fernandez has relied on Ribery even more. The team's relegation task in the second half of the season is still very heavy. It is not worth letting Ribery waste his energy in a cup game, let alone what if he is injured?

Chu Zhongtian's situation is different, because he didn't play many games in the first half of the season, and he didn't even play a complete game. In order to make his physical functions and psychology meet the requirements of being suitable for the entire game, he must play more games. This French Cup is just for him to warm up and find a feeling.

Chu Zhongtian replaced the injured Gregoli Leka, who was the midfielder, but he needed to take both offense and defense in the game. He had to be able to get up at critical moments and could get back if he lost the ball. For Chu Zhongtian, this was not an excessive requirement.

Perhaps because his opponent is a Class C team, Metz's players felt that they could easily win this game no matter what. The suspense was just a few goals, so everyone did not take their opponent seriously. As a result, just one minute after the game started, Metz was hit by his opponent.

The opponent's No. 11 player Nicolas_bayod scored a goal one minute after the start of the game, and the Metz players didn't even run much at this time.

In the whole first half, Metz, who was awakened from dreams, bombarded Rodez's goal, but because of their home advantage, their opponents held their own goal amid the cheers of home fans and did not allow Metz to equalize the score.

During the halftime break, Fernandez told the players seriously that bombing should also pay attention to methods. Blindly shooting from a long distance and crossing from the side may not be able to achieve the goal. At the offense, there should be levels. Don’t shoot from a long distance or break through crossing from the side as soon as you get the ball. The opponent is used to it, so naturally know how to prevent it. Be rich in changes.

For this reason, he asked Chu Zhongtian to actively participate in the offense and dared to ask his teammates for requests and get the ball. In order to cooperate with him, Coach Fernandez asked the team to pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian as much as possible and leave it to him to organize the offense.

After completely clarifying Chu Zhongtian's identity, position and role, Metz quickly changed in the second half.

As soon as the second half came, Rodez hoped to take advantage of Metz's inattention at the beginning of the game to score another goal and expand the score.

But they didn't expect that Mess was not distracted this time. In the 55th minute, his teammates broke the ball and handed it to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian took advantage of the opponent's opportunity to push the ball, and passed the ball directly to the ground, 40 meters long, and passed the ball to the feet of teammate Roy Contout on the side. After attracting the attention of two opponent's defenders, Contout passed the ball to another back midfielder Gregoli Proman who was inserted. After Proman received the ball, he adjusted his footing and shot. The ball passed the opponent's goalkeeper and rolled into the goal. Mess scored a goal!

Fernandez stood up from his seat and applauded. However, he did not applaud Proman's goal, but for Chu Zhongtian's passing drum that was fifty meters long and not slowed down against the turf. This pass was the reason why he insisted on lending Chu Zhongtian to Lemes.

In the next game, the morale of Metz, who equalized the score, was greatly boosted. In the 62nd minute, captain Bobby Coni won the game 2:1, further in the French Cup.

Chu Zhongtian did not directly assist or scored a goal, but his performance in the second half was obviously better than in the first half, and he sorted out Mess' midfield in an orderly manner.

The more important gain was that he played the 90-minute game of the first team for the first time, and he felt that the feeling of the game was slowly returning to himself.

He is increasingly looking forward to the day of January 12, because there is a league game on this day, Metz will play against Ajaccio at home. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have his first league start on this day.
