Chapter 56 Red Sea of ??People
When Chu Zhongtian's long shot finally sent the football into the net, there was a lot of joy in the stands at the Furyan Stadium in Shengshan.
How could they be unhappy with their team leading the strong Paris Saint-Germain again?
When Chu Zhongtian broke free from the crowd, the live broadcast of the stadium was shouting: "The ball has entered! The 73rd minute! Metz led Paris Saint-Germain 3:2! The goal scorer was Zhongtian--"
"Chu--!!" More than 20,000 fans shouted in unison.
Chu Zhongtian is not the unknown recruit at the time. He has been accepted by the entire Holy Mountain Fulian Football Stadium.
Hearing that his name was being shouted in the stands, Chu Zhongtian raised his hand and waved to the stands.
Next he was hugged by Ribery next to him.
"You dare to cum at such a long distance! Haha, the Parisians would never have thought of it!"
"I just saw that the goalkeeper stood a little higher, hehe..." Chu Zhongtian smiled happily. He was also very happy to be able to score such a critical goal.
"You really have it!" Ribery slapped Chu Zhongtian hard on the back, "To be honest, I just saw you shooting from such a distance just now. I thought you were crazy... Hehe, fortunately! Fortunately! Otherwise I wouldn't be spared, I ran out of the space. I looked at it for a long time and finally ran over, but you didn't pass the ball! When I looked back, I saw you shooting... Ha!"
The two of them ran to the court as they spoke, looking very close.
More than a minute has passed since the goal was scored, and He Ping's mood calmed down. "Chu Zhongtian scored a goal, helping Metz lead Paris Saint-Germain 3:2. But there are still seventeen minutes left in the game, and if the injury time is added, there may be at least twenty minutes left. Paris Saint-Germain does not have time to score, so the next game is the key - how should Metz deal with Paris Saint-Germain's next counterattack? Should they defend or continue to attack? The reason they lost two goals in a row before was that the players' tactical thinking was not unified..."
In fact, his concern was that when the players were celebrating by the coach's seat just now, Coach Jean Fernandez had already reminded them: "Don't take back and defend and fight back after leading. Toum and Sorill, you two take turns to come back to defend. Don't both come back to defend. There will be someone in front of us. Ribery and Oblaniak have the chance to attack. When attacking, Chu will continue to connect with the whole team. If you lose the ball, you will fight back on the spot!"
From the outside, a group of people were celebrating. In fact, at the most core part of the circle, several people were pulled by the head coach to teach the opportunity... ※※※Paris Saint-Germain players did not expect that Chu Zhongtian could suddenly shoot from a long shot about 35 meters away from the fans, and the angle was a bit off. If Chu Zhongtian crossed there, they still believed it. This was also the reason why goalkeeper Letizi stood in front and was eventually stunned by Chu Zhongtian.
What they didn't expect was that Metz could lead them again.
"Aha! The last time the two teams fought, the score was 3:2, but the final winner was Paris Saint-Germain. I wonder if this time the home team will win?" Canal's commentator laughed.
Fornier could have breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Metz to use a super long shot to lead the score again. He was a little angry.
Just after the game began, he replaced Pauletta with reinaldo. He believed that Pauletta's performance in this game was not very good and in poor condition. He replaced him with hope that this would improve the offense.
Paris Saint-Germain's two goals were scored by the defender using set pieces, but the forwards did not play their due role.
Pauletta seemed very dissatisfied when he walked out. He replaced himself after only 74 minutes of the game, and the opponent scored a goal. How would others think of him? The team needs to attack and replace himself when he needs to score a goal. It is obvious that he distrusts himself. He doesn't care whether his condition is bad in the head coach's opinion. He thinks that replacing himself is the biggest mistake.
So the Portuguese scorer who left the field did not shake hands with Fornier standing on the sidelines, walked straight back to the bench from behind, sat down and threw his sneakers, leaned on the chair and sulked.
He doesn't care whether the team can win this game. Anyway, he has been substituted, so the winner and loss of this game have nothing to do with him.
Fornier did not look back at Pauletta. When Pauletta was substituted, they did not even have a look of eye contact. Pauletta did not say hello to coach Fornier, and Fornier also regarded Pauletta as air.
The French Canal commentator who saw this scene said: "Laurent Fornier and his players have never been able to establish a tacit understanding, so the team's performance has always been bad. It seems that all this is indeed a reason... If the head coach and the players regard each other as air, this team will obviously behave like this."
The commentator was sarcastic and ruthless.
※※After the game restarted, Paris Saint-Germain launched a fierce offensive against Metz, trying to destroy Metz's defense line. However, with Chu Zhongtian, Promón and other teammates working together to let go, the Parisian's offensive was just a thunder and rain.
"Clog the penalty area and they can only cross or shoot from the wing! We are there in the middle!" Promont was very motivated. The team led Paris Saint-Germain and there was hope for winning this game. His pure defensive midfielder had no contribution to the team in offense, but now it is his chance to show his skills.
Defensive defense! Even if the football hits the chest, you will never take a step back! Because this is related to whether we can continue to stay in the First Division next season... the last twenty minutes!
However, Metz cannot just defend, after all, that is not what Coach Fernandez hopes to see. Sometimes the team must dare to attack and dare to invest troops in the offense. Coach Fernandez will never be able to defend the task, and the highest level of defense is to control the ball at his own feet and consume the opponent's game time.
So Metz still has to attack if he has a chance.
They don't just stick to it.
Therefore, every time Winbi serves the goal, he will not kick directly into the frontcourt, but will kick it to Chu Zhongtian, and he will launch the attack.
Of course, the players at Paris Saint-Germain are not fools, and in this case they are naturally pressing in the frontcourt. When encountering such a problem, Chu Zhongtian's outstanding physical fitness reflects his value - he is not the kind of player who will lose balance and fall to the ground when he hits the side, and then can only lie on the ground and watch his opponent break the ball and move away. His body is enough to allow him to deal with the impact of people like Cana, and still keep the ball not losing.
It is not so easy for any PSG player to intercept the ball at Chu Zhongtian's feet, and Chu Zhongtian will not be foolishly waiting for the opponent to come up and grab the ball in turn. As long as he can temporarily get rid of the opponent's press, he will pass the ball out and then run to the next position to catch the ball.
With his two assists and one goal in this game, as well as many organizational planning that did not score in the end, his teammates have long since no doubt about his ability and core position. They are also happy to pass the ball to him.
In this way, Chu Zhongtian was the core and other teammates formed the formation with his Metz.
Paris Saint-Germain found that if he wanted to paralyze Metz, he would freeze Chu Zhongtian, but he was not the kind of player who was easily frozen. His excellent confrontational ability made him not afraid of physical contact or fouls. His abundant physical fitness also ensured that he could still run all over the field within the last ten minutes of the game, and his speed did not decrease. On the contrary, those who wanted to freeze were a little tired and could not keep up... It would be difficult for such a person to freeze him.
In the end, only one Kana could still keep up with Chu Zhongtian's footsteps, but if Kana was the only one, it would be even more impossible to freeze Chu Zhongtian. You should know that Chu Zhongtian is no longer a problem to deal with Kana now. He knew that Kana was just aggressive, but in fact his defensive skills were not as good as he was. As long as he protected the ball, the next step would be very simple - wait to bear his impact, and you would win, and those who were placed under his legs could not bear it.
In fact, this "killing machine" is nicknamed terrible, but humans are not scary at all.
Fernandez nodded slightly after watching Chu Zhongtian take advantage of a sudden stop and turn around and ask Cana for the tackle.
It is now the 86th minute. Chu Zhongtian can still have such physical strength. His legs are very strong. The emergency stop was very sudden but not at all. Instead, Kana was shaken and could not stop the car and fell to the ground. He could only snatch it on the spot in a very embarrassed manner. As a result, Chu Zhongtian passed it.
This is definitely the best game he has played this season, not only because he has two assists and one goal, but also because of what he shows every moment in the ninety-minute game. That is what he values. Maybe... no, it is certain that Chu Zhongtian will not have two assists and one goal in every game in the future, but as long as he can continue to show such a level in the game, he will one day become a world-class midfielder!
※※As the game approached, Paris Saint-Germain became more and more impatient, and there was no news about the match between Marseille and Lyon, which meant that Marseille was still behind Lyon by one goal, but what's the use? Now they are not doing well, and they are behind Metz 2:3!
The lagging Paris Saint-Germain pressed the ball across the board, which gave Metz a chance to fight back. Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to Ribery in front.
At this time, Chu Zhongtian didn't say that he wouldn't go up after passing the ball. No, he was still running forward and was sprinting at high speed!
"God! This Chinese is really strong!" The commentator of the French Canal TV station exclaimed. The camera camera even abandoned Ribery who was dribbling the ball and aimed at Chu Zhongtian who was rushing forward from the backcourt.
Ribery was not in a hurry to attack in front. He slowly moved the ball forward, suppressing the opponent's defender Yepes, making him dare not act rashly. Then he waited for Chu Zhongtian to rush forward.
Chu Zhongtian came up, but the rest of Paris Saint-Germain also returned to the defense. It seemed that Metz had lost a chance to expand the score.
When Chu Zhongtian ran into the penalty area from the ribs, Ribery suddenly made a move to break through from the bottom, tricking Yepes into stuck in the front, but exposed the back. He passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian who had just run into the penalty area. Cana was still following him.
Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball. He used his right foot to pull Ribery's pass from the side, and then turned around and shook the angle away. He did not sway his own goal, but passed it across the goal.
Unfortunately, Toum, who followed up, had no strength, and did not jump up, allowing the football to pass by the door above his head!
This offense caused the Metz fans in the stands to cheer and scared the fans of Paris Saint-Germain in cold sweat.
Chinese commentator He Ping regrets this attack: "Chu Zhongtian should have shot by himself! He can shoot after he shakes away Kana... It's a pity, he must pursue cooperation... He seems to be more interested in passing than shooting. I really don't know whether he should say that this is good or bad..."
※※Although this counterattack did not score, it allowed Paris Saint-Germain to restrain itself in the subsequent games, with little time left. If they continued to push up, it was very likely that Metz would continue to expand the score at the last moment.
The Metz fans in the stands have lit the fireworks they prepared, and the dark red fireworks in the stands are very conspicuous.
All Metz fans stood up from their seats at this moment, jumping and waving their arms. Now they have found the best way to fight back against Paris Saint-Germain fans: "We are in Class A next season, but you can't go to Europe! Ahha!"
"psg!psg!partir_sans_gagner (meaning leaving without gain)!partir_sans_gagner!! Hahaha!"
The commentator began to chatter and stirred up trouble for the PSG fans: "Four minutes of injury time! This is the last four minutes of Paris Saint-Germain. To be honest, I think it would be meaningless even if they scored Metz and equalized the score in these four minutes, because the difference between them and Marseille is three points, not one point!"
When facing such a situation, the fans of Barry Saint-Germain did not have the strength to fight back against Metz fans. The game was mentioned in the last four minutes, and the No. 30 of Metz still had to organize an offense... What do you think our players are doing?
Chu Zhongtian controlled the ball and passed it to Oblaniak in front. Oblaniak brought the ball to the corner flag and controlled it to delay the game time.
The PSG player pushed him out, which resulted in a foul by the PSG player.
Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Laurent Fornier no longer cares about this penalty. He knew that he was determined to lose this game. Losing in this game was equivalent to losing the entire season, and they were empty-handed for two consecutive seasons.
Before the game, he always thought that Metz only had No. 10 Ribery to cause some trouble for his team. Unexpectedly, it was not the players who dominated this game that were not the players of Paris Saint-Germain, nor Ribery, but an Oriental wearing Metz No. 30 jersey!
At the last moment, Chu Zhongtian was still dominating the game - Metz won a free kick in the corner flag area, so there was naturally no need to go up and attack. However, Chu Zhongtian ran up, and there were only two people in front of him and Oblaniak.
"Give me the ball." Chu Zhongtian made a gesture to Oblaniak, and Oblaniak understood it. He took the free kick and kicked it to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian faced the corner flag and his back to the stadium, protecting the ball firmly, and then waited for Paris Saint-Germain's people to come up and press.
In the press, Kana kicked the football out of the baseline. Metz won another corner kick.
Next, do the same and continue the cycle.
It was not until the end that Paris Saint-Germain grabbed Chu Zhongtian's ball, but there was not much time left for them... When Cana finally broke the ball from Chu Zhongtian's feet and drove to the frontcourt with his big foot, he and Chu Zhongtian both heard the whistle sounded by the referee!
"The game is over! The game is over!" the French commentator shouted. "Messe won the most critical game! Judging from the latest news from several other venues, they have successfully relegated in advance!"
Metz fans naturally know this because they have radio and mobile phones can understand the latest results of other competitors' games in real time. Nantes lost 0:1 to Socho, and their own goal was still an own goal. This is really unlucky. After this game, Nantes' points have not changed from the previous round, and they are still forty. Bordeaux and Monaco tied 1:1, 43 points, and Bastia defeated Lance 3:1, but only accumulated forty points. Currently, the bottom three points in the league are East 29 points, Nantes 40 points, and Bastia 41 points.
After winning Paris Saint-Germain, Metz has accumulated 44 points. Even if he loses to Nantes in the last round, he will definitely relegate!
The players were not as clear as the fans, but they soon learned from the bench and the stands that they had relegated in advance.
They also hugged each other.
After the game, Chu Zhongtian wanted to exchange jerseys with Kana, but as soon as the game ended, the media who had been waiting outside the court rushed up and surrounded him.
Microphones stretched towards Chu Zhongtian, and at least five cameras surrounded him in the center in all directions, making him unable to contact others. All he could see was the camera lens and the microphone.
He was not surprised at all, because the goal he scored helped Mes relegate early and he became famous!
The players of Paris Saint-Germain quickly left the court, and the fans of Paris Saint-Germain in the stands also left the court as soon as possible at the request of the police. The St. Forian Stadium is a stage for Metz fans to celebrate relegation, and no idle people are allowed to enter!
For twenty minutes, Chu Zhongtian was answering the reporters' questions. This situation ended until the first fan flipped over the guardrail from the stands and jumped down. The reporters knew that there was a good show next, and if they didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to leave... They put away the microphone and camera one by one and ran to the edge of the court, and then waited to watch the show.
Before Chu Zhongtian could figure out what was going on, he saw fans constantly jumping over the guardrail and jumping off the stands and entering the stadium. Moreover, the police did not stop this scene... This... A not-so-good idea suddenly flashed through his mind - to keep his underwear anyway!
More and more Metz fans rushed into the stadium, shouting and rushing towards the players. Then they surrounded them, but instead of stealing the players' things, they lifted them up and lifted them on their bodies!
Chu Zhongtian has received the most praise from fans. Yes, it is a promotion, this is a real promotion!
He even saw an old acquaintance among his fans - Escher de Belmont!
"Hey! Chu!" Ribery's voice sounded beside him. His friend Frank Ribery was also being held up by the fans at this moment.
The two are not too far apart.
"Don't be afraid, Chu! Haha, enjoy this wonderful moment!" Ribery waved his arm and laughed at him.
Chu Zhongtian looked around. The entire Holy Mountain Forian Stadium was filled with Metz fans wearing crimson jerseys. The green stadium was no longer visible and turned into an irresistible red sea of people...
