Ibisevic's goal gave Mess a lead in the overall score, but it did not make Bayern Munich lose his position. Because this is not a big blow. As long as they score another goal and tie the score 2:2, they can eliminate the home team by relying on the advantage of away goals. For a team of Bayern Munich's level, it is not too difficult to score a goal in more than 20 minutes.

Of course, they strengthened their offensive, but did not take a gamble. The defense line still paid great attention to the defense of several key figures. Van Bomel no longer cared about Menez, and still followed Chu Zhongtian without leaving any moves, not allowing him to pass the threatening ball again.

Chu Zhongtian found that he wanted to continue organizing the offense and was in trouble again. Although he knew that the score of Metz was still not safe, he had no choice. Now that he had just lost the ball, Bayern Munich's counterattack wave was very fierce, so it would be better to avoid his edge.

In the following time, Metz began to shrink his formation and counterattack with defensive force. It was not that Fernandez wanted to be conservative, but that the current situation forced him to be conservative.

After re-teletting, Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack on Metz's goal. With Bayern Munich's offensive ability, if he still attacks with the opponent at this time, Metz is likely to hand over the advantage he just got. Because as long as Bayern Munich scores another goal, they will completely turn the situation around, and they now have the motivation and desire to score goals.

Fernandez decided to defend completely within at least five minutes. After defending these five minutes, Bayern Munich's morale would fall. At that time, Metz was attacking and Bayern Munich was tug-of-war with Bayern Munich. In the last ten minutes of the game, if the score remained at 2:1, Bayern Munich would definitely be impatient and start to attack in large numbers, because they could advance with just one ball, and ten minutes would be a good time for them - the chance of being sneak attacked by the opponent will increase greatly, and they would not have enough time for them to do so for too long. Ten minutes is very reasonable.

In this way, when they pressed heavily, Metz would recover appropriately and then start to use the speed of the two sides to fight back. As long as they succeeded in the sneak attack and scored another goal, they would win the game.

The game also followed Fernandez's plan. Bayern Munich attacked for five minutes and found that it had not been captured. Metz's goal stood firm in their fierce artillery fire. Because he was worried that the opponent would seize the opportunity to fight back, he began to recover.

Metz also changed his tactic of defending his defensive tactics and pushed him out to fight Bayern Munich.

But now, as the controller of the team's rhythm, Chu Zhongtian is not very enthusiastic about offenses that need to take great risks. Most of the time, both teams are tug-of-war in the midfield, and there is an occasional beautiful offensive organization, but the forwards of both sides will soon waste these opportunities.

When the game time reached the 80th minute, Heathfield made a gesture on the sidelines, and Bayern Munich decisively turned to the full-scale attack.

It's not considered injury stoppage time, only ten minutes are left for them.

At the same time, Fernandez also made a substitution decision. He used central defender Pape Diop to replace Ibissevic, who scored one goal for the team, and put Menez in front. Menez was faster than Ibissevic, had good skills, was good at dribbling breakthroughs, and had strong individual combat capabilities, which were suitable for counterattacks.

The purpose of replacing a central defender is to strengthen the defense. The three central defenders stand in front and back, which can increase the thickness of the defense line to avoid allowing the opponent to penetrate as soon as they hit. At the same time, it can also increase the number of people in the penalty area, causing trouble for players like Ribery and not giving him room to play.

When Ibisevic ended, he heard applause from all the fans.

He scored a total of 22 goals in the league and League Cup this season, making him the team's number one scorer. Mess's ability to maintain his current level after losing Ribery is inseparable from his stable performance.

Ibisevic waved to the fans, thanked the fans for their applause, and then hugged the head coach Jean Fernandez.

"You've done a good job, Ibi. Go and rest now." Fernandez patted Ibisekic on the back.

Ibisevic, who returned to the bench, brimmed with his teammates one by one. The team led the way and it was only ten minutes before advancing to the semi-finals. Everyone was in a good mood.

But Metz players on the court would not be so relaxed.

These ten minutes were tantamount to their suffering.

They must ensure that they will not concede the goal in the face of Bayern Munich's powerful offensive within these ten minutes, and they will also wait for an opportunity to attack.

This degree is controlled by Chu Zhongtian. If the opportunity is not good, he would rather not attack than hand over the ball easily.

Ribery stood on the front line and raised her hand to signal her teammates to pass the ball to him.

Fullback Signolino glanced at him. This teammate who had played with him for three years at Metz, now wearing a strange jersey, stood opposite him.

Ribery, who was in front of him, suddenly ran away.

He looked at the surrounding situation and Bayern Munich passed the football here, and Ribery went up to pick it up.

He looked behind him and decided to force him up.

Anyway, there are three central defenders in the penalty area. After going up, one person will be added, and two central defenders will be guarding the middle.

After Ribery received the ball, he planned to turn around, but he happened to run into Signolino who was pressing on him.

Caught off guard, Ribery fell to the ground and naturally lost the football.

Signolino quickly kicked the football under his feet out.

Ribery signaled to the referee on the ground that it was Signolino's foul.

His move attracted larger students from Metz fans in the stands.

Signolino was also very annoyed by Ribery's move - I clearly didn't foul, can you lie for the team's victory?

So he bent down and yelled at Ribery: "Stop pretending, Frank! I don't know who you are yet? You are the best at pranks, but this is the field!"

For the current Bayern players, it is a time to be red-eyed. Even if there was an old friendship before, Ribery doesn't care about it now. Hearing Signolino teach him this lesson, Ribery also retorted: "You did hit my ankle. I didn't make a prank! You'd better think clearly before talking!"

The two of them were quarreling behind, which did not attract the attention of the players on the field. Instead, the Metz fans in the stands who were close to the area where the two were located cursing Ribery.

Metz is organizing an offensive, while Bayern Munich is retreating.

Ribery conceded the ball in the frontcourt, which was an opportunity for Chu Zhongtian to take advantage of. After receiving the pass from Signolino, he cooperated with Proman. Proman passed the ball to him while helping him block Van Bomel. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to the front and gave Obetan to the sideline.

Seeing that the team was in trouble, Ribery didn't bother to argue with Signorino, turned around and ran back, while Signorino waved his arms behind him and chatted endlessly.

It is nothing more than some curses such as "ungrateful" and "traitors". These are no different from the Metz fans in the stands and have no new ideas.

Ribery grinned.

His smile has never been pretty, and now it looks even more ferocious when he smiles like this.

Since he was a child, since he had that damn scar on his face when he was two years old, all kinds of curses have disappeared in his ears. People call him ugly, Quasimodo, idiots, violent, and... He started out fighting with people because he was insulted, but now he rarely does this, but he will use another way to fight back.

Metz's attack eventually formed a free kick, and Menez's close-range shot was unbelievably saved by Kahn. This save made the German commentator excited.

"Kaan! Oliver Kahn! He made a world-class save. Considering his age, it is not easy to make such a difficult save!"

Metz won a corner kick. For teams on the overall defensive, set-pieces in the frontcourt are an opportunity that must be seized. If this corner kick can be used to score one goal by Bayern Munich, it can completely cut off Bayern Munich's intention to advance. If you want to score two goals in five minutes, even Bayern Munich dare not guarantee it.

Once the score becomes 3:1, Metz's players can breathe a sigh of relief without having to put under tremendous pressure to play the remaining few minutes of the game.

For this reason, Traore and Rodriguez, as well as Diop, who had only played in the 80 minutes, all ran to Bayern Munich's goal and prepared to compete for the header.

Chu Zhongtian used to rush up to hit the ball at this time. But today he didn't go up.

He chose to stay behind.

Because he saw Ribery and did not return to defense.

Luca Tony and Klose, who was replaced after conceding the ball in the second half, both returned to the penalty area. Both of them were players with excellent heading skills, and they could play guest roles as a central defender.

When attacking, Bayern Munich made a desperate bet and desperate to score a goal does not mean that they are useless when defending and do not care about the safety of their own goal. In fact, the primary condition for advancing is not to score goals, but not to continue to concede the goal.

Therefore, Bayern Munich still attaches great importance to the defense of this corner kick.

In this way, Ribery is the only one in front of him. He is not tall, has poor jumping, and is not good at heading. If he returns to the goal to defend a corner kick, he has no contribution to the team. However, he is fast, has good physical fitness, has outstanding skills at feet, is good at dribbling breakthroughs, and has a good scoring ability. He has strong combat capabilities in individual soldiers. He is the most suitable person to use for quick counterattacks.

In football games, set pieces are often a double-edged sword, which can not only give you a chance to score goals, but also may be seized by the opponent to seize the opportunity of the central defender to compete for the top and fight back.

Chu Zhongtian knows very well what changes will this ball that both sides have opportunities to bring to everyone's mentality.

Ribery must have planned to use this opportunity to equalize the team. He can advance with just one goal. The temptation of this profit is really too great.

But he did not follow Ribery in a row, because Ribery had a man defending - Signolino.

The full-back has no contribution to set-pieces. Every time he plays a corner kick and a free kick in the frontcourt, he is the one who stays in the backcourt to be responsible for the defense.

Chu Zhongtian chose a position, not too far from Ribery. He could not only quickly rush over to support Signorino, but also defend the middle to prevent Bayern Munich from passing the ball to Ribery, but instead directly dribbling the ball from the middle to counterattack.

The defense is empty, and there are not many people who can defend, so he must consider it carefully.

Ribery is not his main target yet, at least not before he receives the ball.

Although he has a high chance of receiving the ball.

In fact, Ribery also noticed Chu Zhongtian. The person who had been guarding him was Signolino. The two had a conflict and had a quarrel before, so Signolino was particularly excited to watch Ribery. Ribery didn't take him seriously, and he glanced at Chu Zhongtian in the middle.

He knew that Chu Zhongtian would go to the door to fight for the top, but he stayed and consciously leaned over here, needless to say, knowing what he was doing.

He is the Bayern player at the forefront, and Chu Zhongtian must also know what he wants to do.

In the 87th minute, Metz's corner kick came out amid the cheers of the audience. The football flew to Bayern Munich's goal, and it was like a huge rock plunged into the lake, causing a sensation.

The players of both sides collided and tried to hit the football.

The result was that a pair of hands stretched out from the crowd and took off the football in the air.

"It's Kahn! He hugged the football!"

"Go back to defense quickly!"

The words shouted by commentators from the two countries were different.

In fact, without the French commentator's reminder, Metz's players started running back. The three central defenders, who were all over 1.90 meters tall, ran back with heavy steps, and other Metz players were also retreating one after another.

They know what the consequences will be if the ball falls into the opponent's hands. But not everyone can run out smoothly. There are people in the penalty area. It always takes some time to bypass Bayern players who are blocking in front of them. Even if it only takes three seconds, it is enough to change the situation on the field.

Chu Zhongtian almost saw Kahn picking the ball from the air and then began to retreat in small steps.

While the people in the penalty area were still crowded, Kahn had already thrown the ball he was holding into the air, then followed with his right leg, swung his big foot and kicked the ball forward. He kicked the ball forward with a big foot!

Chu Zhongtian retreated while observing the situation ahead. While Kahn was holding the football, Bayern Munich's penalty area seemed to have opened the fenced horse shed, and thousands of horses ran together and rushed out of the inside.

Immediately afterwards, the football suddenly rushed out from behind the crowd, like a missile that had taken off the sky, piercing the sky.

Of course, the end of this football must not be the sea of ​​stars. It begins to fall down when it rises to its peak.

Just as it changed direction and fell, Chu Zhongtian also turned around, no longer retreated in small steps, but rushed towards Ribery with big strides.

What he turned around and saw was Ribery's back, who was just starting and accelerating.
