During the break, Fernandez actually praised Chu Zhongtian's performance and then criticized Proman, because Proman had no necessary foul at all, which led to them going to 11 in the second half. Leaving one person in ordinary games would make the team difficult, let alone a derby battle.

Faced with the head coach's criticism, Promón did not defend himself. Now that he thinks he was too impulsive at that time. Chu was already defending the opponent and didn't need to join in the fun by himself... I really don't know what happened at that time. Maybe it was the derby that caused his adrenaline to surge, and he ignored everything and wanted to make the opponent suffer.

After criticizing Proman for a few words, Fernandez stopped obsessing his foul. The top priority now is not to chatter and complain about the person who made the mistake, but to find ways to remedy this mistake.

"We defended in the second half and aimed at the draw." Coach Fernandez set the tone for Metz's play in the second half.

When Chu Zhongtian heard the head coach say this, his brows frowned slightly.

This is what he least wants to hear - he feels acceptable to defend the last stage of the first half, after all, there is a midfielder soon, and there is no need to concede a goal at the last moment to make things troublesome. Everything is delayed until the break and make adjustments. In his opinion, he hopes that Metz will win this game, not a draw.

He thought of the cartoon he saw on the road, that he had to be insulted, especially for some reason. Before that, he did not provoke Nancy fans. When the players on both sides were having a verbal battle, he only accepted interviews from the Chinese media and did not say anything extreme. It was just because he was the core of Metz, and Nancy fans treated him like this, and he could not tolerate it.

His principle is: If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will offend others!

Russell and Borger have already tasted that kind of taste. Once he is aimed at it, it will be a fight to the death. Either one side wins or both lose.

He wants to give those Nancy fans some excellence and make them shut up completely!

Chu Zhongtian was thinking about it, and heard Fernandez calling his name.

"Ah? In...ah...uh." As soon as he looked up and saw Fernandez's eyes, he knew that he had been distracted just now and must have missed something very important. "Sorry, sir..."

Fernandez asked him: "What are you thinking, Chu?"

Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and decided to express his true thoughts.

"I think we should try to win, sir, rather than secure a draw."

Fernandez stared at Chu Zhongtian for several seconds before asking: "But now we are missing one person, Chu."

Proman lowered his head. All this was caused by him. If he was not sent off, he believed that the team could win. Don't ask why, isn't it normal to win in the derby?

"I will do the job of the deputy captain." Chu Zhongtian said his plan. If he just said he wanted to win but couldn't come up with a way, his words would not be taken seriously. "I have good physical fitness, so it's okay to run a little more distance."

"But in this way, you can't participate more in the offensive." Fernandez put forward his view. Now he did not regard Chu Zhongtian's denial of his tactics as a provocation to authority. On the contrary, he was guiding Chu Zhongtian to dare to express his thoughts more actively in the locker room, regardless of right or wrong.

"We can play defensive counterattacks, sir. Put more energy into the defense, but we can't completely give up the offense. When they press on a big shot, there will definitely be a lot of room behind them. At that time, just seize one or two opportunities to win the game!" Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists as he said.

Fernandez thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right, Chu. I believe none of you would like to just play a draw in this game, right?"

The players shouted: "Of course I don't want to, sir!"

"We must win!!"

"I want the bunny of Nancy to know that they are amazing!"

After the first half of the training, they have now clearly understood what the "Lorrin Derby" is.

"Then let's do it. We counterattack in the second half of the defensive and win the goal. But we have to make some substitution adjustments. I don't believe in your ability, Chu. But participating in defense too much will inevitably distract you. And once you assist, you may not be able to return to defense in time. This situation needs to be prevented. Leka."

When Gregory Leka heard the head coach call his name, he knew that he had hope to play in such an important game.

"You appear in the second half and help Chu defend."

Leka nodded vigorously: "No problem, sir! Ensure that the task is completed! Chu, with me here, you can press it up with confidence, ahha!"

Leka was very excited to be able to play.

Currently, Metz's midfielder is Chu Zhongtian and Promón guarding the middle. As long as they are not injured, the others basically don't want to steal their main position. It turns out that Leka is also a main player, but he was injured to Paris Saint-Germain and lost his main position. Now he has become a complete substitute. Who wants to be a substitute forever? No one, including Leka.

Since he wants to replace a defensive midfielder, according to convention, there must be a forward who will be sacrificed. In this game, Metz's starting forwards were very young, nineteen-year-old Babakar Geye and eighteen-year-old Momar Endiaye (momar_n'diaye), both of them are very fast, but in addition to being fast, Gaye is also good at dribbling, passing and long shots are good. In comparison, the younger Ndiaye has no advantage, so he naturally has to be replaced.

When Fernandez announced that Leka would replace Ndiaye, no one was surprised, and even Ndiaye accepted his arrangements calmly.

※※※When Metz was planning a counterattack in the locker room, the atmosphere on Nancy was a little relaxed. Although their teammate Sarki Xi'an was injured, they had the advantage in terms of numbers. All Nancy players were full of confidence in winning the game.

"They lack a very important person. Proman is their defensive midfielder and most of the time he is in defensive tasks. With him, Chu can do his best to participate in the offense. Now that he has been sent off, Chu will definitely return to the defensive position, and Metz's offense is paralyzed. So we have to attack with all our might in the second half, and we must win this game!" Nancy's head coach Pablo Correa is making pre-war mobilization for his players.

"I also believe that Fernandez will ask his team to defend the second half to try to keep the draw. Because this is a derby, they are not qualified to compete with us for victory. So we must seize this opportunity in the second half! In our home court, it is another derby, and we must not lose to Metz!"

The group was excited in the locker room.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, who walked onto the stadium, heard the curse from the Nancy fans again. When he looked up, he saw the huge cartoon aimed at him - a player No. 8 with a pigtail braid behind his head, kneeling down to the Nancy players.

He clenched his fists.

Can't you win if you don't have one person?

No!

Chu Zhongtian doesn't believe this.

After the second half, as Fernandez expected, Nancy launched a fierce offensive towards Metz's penalty area, as if she wanted to end the battle in five minutes.

Mess avoided his edge and regained his defense. Everything was like Nancy head coach Correa thought - Mess, who was one less, dared not face Nancy head-on, they could only defend.

The only difference from what Correa expected was that Nancy had been attacking for ten minutes and did not get any shots that threatened Metz's goal.

The most active person in defense is Chu Zhongtian. He asked Leka to stick to the middle road, while he ran around, just like a firefighter, rushing wherever there was a fire.

He is in both sides, in the penalty area.

Berenguer once had a good opportunity to shoot from a long time, but when he was swinging his foot to prepare for a shot, the football was stabbed out by Chu Zhongtian who flew over from the side. He almost wounded his thigh with one kick.

The football that was stabbed out by Chu Zhongtian fell to the feet of another Nancy player, Jonathan Brison. He did not hesitate and directly shot from a long shot!

This time, the ball he shot was blocked by Leka.

Chu Zhongtian saw Lekafen's eye-catching defense regardless of his own, and gave him a thumbs up.

Le Caen looked very proud with his head.

He finally became awesome.

Five minutes passed, and Nancy was still not happy to break the goal of Metz.

Seeing this scene, the canal's commentator sighed: "It's impossible to see that Messe seems to be missing one person..."

He Ping naturally found another opportunity to praise Chu Zhongtian's physical fitness. "With him on the court, Mes has always been equal to 12-for-11, and was sent off. Now it's only 11-on-11, which is considered to be back to normal!"

※※※Nancy's fans were also dissatisfied with their team one more person than the opponent, but they could not score the goal. However, they did not boo their team, but stimulated Mess in different ways.

Some of them sang in the stands: "Mayce is a turtle shrunk! There is a breeding!"

Someone else shouted: "You might as well shrink back into your mother's womb! Coward!"

"Look down and see if you have any testicles under you!"

"Mayce's bastards, go fight like men! What's the ability in the penalty area?!"

But no matter how these Nancy fans scolded me, Metz insisted on defending. First of all, not conceding the ball, and secondly, counterattack.

Metz's players have been waiting for Nancy to push up. For Chu Zhongtian and his teammates, Nancy has not yet been pressed up on the entire line, so it is not a good time to counterattack.

Correa stood on the sidelines, watching the situation on the field. He was making a decision whether he really wanted to put the whole team in a down position and continued to put pressure on Metz.

While considering it, Nancy launched another attack. This time they finally found Metz's defensive negligence and broke into the penalty area to shoot. But the football finally came out, which surprised the Nancy fans in the stands.

※※※"This is Nancy's opportunity...Eri Claupi! Shot - missed!!"

Belmont, who was sitting in the taxi, was startled. After hearing the skewer, he punched the horn hard and vented. "Damn it! Why are you yelling around if you didn't get in!"

Like him, the old man Legov, who was sitting at home watching live TV. The moment the football rolled out against the post, he really felt his heart stop beating. Now his heartbeat was very fast. In order not to worry his daughter, he gritted his teeth and did not let out a moan.

※※※ Seeing this unsuccessful attack, Correa finally made a decision - invest more troops in the attack, put more pressure on Metz's penalty area, and accelerate the collapse of Metz's defense line!

So he whistled and waved his hands below, signaling the defenders to push up boldly, forming a multi-level attack, completely pressing Metz into their 30-meter area and unable to get out.

Seeing that Nancy's two full-backs pressed up and stopped going back, the Metz players knew in their hearts that it was time for them to fight back!

So when Winby rushed over the opponent's shot, she jumped up from the ground without hesitation, and then threw the football in her hand to Chu Zhongtian who was waiting for the reception outside the penalty area.

Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball and turned around, but instead directly knocked the ball back to Leka, who was facing the attacking direction.

When fighting back, you have to pay attention to one word - fast!

Any act of wasting time sticking to the ball is not allowed.

After receiving the ball, Leka kicked the ball to Reynold, who was retracing and responding. In this game, he replaced Oblaniak, who could not play in a red card, and served as the left-hander.

Reynold took the ball and turned around and led forward.

Chu Zhongtian had already rushed out after the time of passing the two legs.

The Metz team turned against the previous appearance of being suppressed and beaten. The midfielder, fullback, front-line defender, and forwards were all actively pressing out, and even the back line pressed forward, causing offside.

Since it is a counterattack, it is like a counterattack!

No one is in front of him at the moment because Nancy's full-back was behind Reynold when he received the ball and was now desperately returning to defense.

Since there is no one defending, continue to dribble!

Reynold strode forward and dribbled the ball.

Nancy's formation is 532, and when it is attacking, it becomes 352. When they are counterattacked by the opponent, they have only three central defenders in the backcourt, one of them defends Reynolds, and the other two are concentrated in the middle to guard against Metz's only striker Babacar Gayer.

Reynold's speed is not fast. If he takes it, he will definitely be caught up by the pursuers behind him. Chu Zhongtian has been running with Reynold, so he knows the situation behind him. Seeing that the opponent is getting closer and closer, he shouted at Reynold: "Come on, pass the ball!"

After hearing Chu Zhongtian's words, Reynold had no doubts and passed the ball to the other side. While Ribery received the ball, the opponent's central defender also forced him up.

It seems that the quick attack has ended here.

But Ribery turned his back to the opponent's defender, but knocked the ball behind him. Right back Frank Beria (franck_beria) received the ball and rushed over!
