Chapter 90: Dessert Strikes Back!

Diarra followed Chu Zhongtian everywhere at first, but when he found that Chu Zhongtian was running further and further behind, he didn't follow stupidly. It's clear that this is to pull him out of the defensive position, so he won't be fooled. Anyway, Chu Zhongtian is far away from Leon's forbidden area, so the threat is much smaller, and his task can be regarded as complete.

Menez's kid was a little active, and he had to go check it out.

After Chu Zhongtian found out that Menez was being tightly defended by Diarra again and could not organize an attack, he thought to himself that this would not work. In the closing stages of the game, Menez was the most important part of the team's tactics, and if he was kept at bay by Diarra, Aang would have been able to free up his hands to clean up Metz.

I still have to rush up, get closer to the opponent's penalty area, and draw Diarra's attention to himself. In this way, Menez can be less stressed.

Thinking of this, when Chu Zhongtian got the ball again, he didn't pass the football to anyone, but chose to rush forward with the ball himself.

Facing Juninho's defense, Chu Zhongtian buckled the football to the left side, and his body accelerated over. Juninho's defense is basically just a show, the Brazilian player rarely defends, and the main defensive task is left to Mahamadou behind him. Diarra.

After Chu Zhongtian easily crossed Juninho, he rushed straight with the ball.

Diarra didn't expect that he wouldn't go to Chu Zhongtian for trouble, but Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to come to him.

He hesitated, observed, and finally decided to pounce on Chu Zhongtian.

When he was about to meet him, Chu Zhongtian used the outside instep to pass the football to Menez, who had withdrawn to pick him up.

After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian changed his position and planned to cooperate with Menez.

Diarra was like an obedient puppet who saw the football and pounced on it. Menez had his back to him but knew that Diarra was running towards him, so he knocked the football back with his heel and passed it to Chu Zhongtian, who had changed positions.

After receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian didn't pass it to anyone again, he took advantage of this short defensive vacuum, and suddenly shot with his feet outside the penalty area!

The ball whistled away and deflected wide of the goal.

"Chu shoots-! Deviated...... What a pity! ”

This was Chu Zhongtian's first shot on goal in the game.

Before he hid behind the scenes, passing the ball to his teammates, Lyon's players obviously didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot from a distance, and there was a problem with his marking.

Diarra quickly discovered the problem he was facing: Metz clearly had more than just a playmaker midfielder, Chu Zhongtian was one, and Menez could also take on the task of organising the team's attack when needed. You must know that Menez can play as a striker.

A little headache...... This was clearly a game against Lyon, who was the only defensive midfield...... and when Diarra didn't know what to do, Metz quickly attacked again.

After Chu Zhongtian handed the ball to Menez this time, he did not rush forward, because he saw that Lyon's defense line was very tightly arranged, and if he ventured forward, there would be no good fruit to eat.

So he stayed where he was and ran sideways.

As for what Menez does with the ball, he doesn't care.

Menez didn't see the danger of passing forward, he tried to send the ball to Ibisevic in front of him, but was cut off by Chris halfway through - his passing intention was too obvious, and Ibisevic's movement was direct, so passing the ball was too underestimated for a centre-back of Chris's level.

Cris, who broke the ball, handed the ball to Juninho, who came back to pick it up.

Seeing Juninho catch the ball, Ben. Naturally, Alpha began to sprint forward, ready to respond.

Although Lyon's goal just now was scored from Gowu's side, Chu Zhongtian still decided to defend Ben. Alpha. When he is not attacking, Chu Zhongtian still has to take on the defensive task.

Juninho was in charge of Promans, who had already handed the ball to Ben before Promans could come up. Alpha.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid was very active, Metz would not have concentrated his defensive focus on this wing, which led to a lack of defense in the back. Therefore, to solve the defensive problem, it is definitely not to let him run to defend Gewu again, but to completely eliminate the Ben. Alpha's flank was blocked, so that he could no longer make waves, so that the team's defensive center of gravity would be restored, and Govu would not be given anything to take advantage of on the other side.

Root. Alpha didn't slow down after receiving the ball, and he planned to use his dribbling ability in high-speed motion to get past Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian didn't give him a chance to make a move and then accelerate. Alpha lunged up as soon as he received the ball, and then used a foul to shoot Ben. Alpha hits the sideline.

He slammed into Ben. Alpha on the crotch. It doesn't seem like a problem, but Ben. Alpha knew how much it hurt, and he limped when he stood up and walked. Alpha angrily appealed to the referee: "Isn't such a foul worth a yellow card? ”

The referee ignored him.

Chu Zhongtian also ignored him, and he took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball to run towards Menez, who was returning to the defense.

"See Diarra?" He asked Menez.

Menez nodded.

'He's the only defensive midfielder for Lyon and we're two guys who can organise the attack. I'll help you get his attention, and I'll leave it to you to organize the attack, don't always blindly pass forward, pay attention to controlling the tempo. The ball you gave to Ibi just now wasn't good......" Chu Zhongtian said to Menez with body language. "If there's no better chance of passing forward, just move to the back or to the left and right and I'll be behind you."

Menez nodded again: "I see." ”

Chu Zhongtian got his promise, turned around and ran back.

Lyon's free-kick was taken by Juninho, who was too close to the touchline to shoot directly, but could only pass it to the goal. Chu Zhongtian once again had the advantage in the battle for the top, and he pushed the football out.

Chu Zhongtian, who is 1.83 meters tall, is not very tall, but his judgment of the landing point of the ball is indeed rarely matched, coupled with excellent bounce, every time he fights for the top is a very easy thing.

It's just that this time the ball he pushed out fell at the feet of Benzema, and Benzema, who withdrew to the outside of the penalty area, stopped the ball and came directly to a long shot. The ball hit someone in the box, refracted and flew out of the goal.

"It's dangerous! This change of line completely deceived goalkeeper Umbi, but in the end it was deflected off the ...... goal"

Benzema grimaced, unhappy with the shot that went wide.

He was little of a performer in this game as he was looked down upon by Metz's defenders and Lyon's midfield lacked support for him. He thought it was strange that the whole team was not in the same league as in the league and even not as good as Metz.

Root. Alpha's breakthroughs are still sharp, but they are all useless, and there is no way to create any direct threats to the goal. The Juninho captain's free-kick didn't go for it today. The situation is very strange, why did Lyon, who are invincible in the league, find themselves in the situation they are in today?

You know, they've scored eight goals in the league...... Instead of withdrawing, Benzema stayed up front with a gloomy face, ready to counter-attack on the spot - time was running out, and if they didn't press the whole court in a pressing way, they wouldn't have much of a chance. Not only him, but also another striker, Fred, Govu, Ben. Alpha and Juninho are both in key positions up front, ready to press up front.

Houllier stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face. His team is absolutely superior in terms of technical statistics and field, if technical statistics could determine the outcome of a game, they would have won a long time ago, and by a large margin. But why is it Metz who is leading now?

Could it really be that my tactics are wrong?

Houllier couldn't figure it out.

He glanced at Kalu, a high school striker who was warming up, and thought that he would not be needed in this game, but now it seems that it will not work.

So he hooked his hand and motioned for his assistant coach to call the Norwegian striker back.

β€»β€»β€» Wen Bi drove the ball to the front court, and this time he did not hand the ball to Chu Zhongtian through a short pass. Because after Chu Zhongtian saw Leon's plan, he did not retreat to receive the ball, but ran near the center circle, and then motioned to Wenbi to kick the football above his head.

The person who competed with him was Diarra, Chu Zhongtian turned his back to him, and he rushed up from behind, it stands to reason that this ball should be Diarra's top, because he has a sprint distance and jumps higher.

But the actual result was that Chu Zhongtian took the first step and rubbed the football backwards and rubbed it at Menez's feet.

And he himself was knocked to the ground by Diarra.

The referee grasped the principle of attacking advantage, and raised his hands to signal that the game continued.

Chu Zhongtian did not lie on the ground and complain to him about Diarra's foul, but quickly got up and continued to attack.

Menez was holding the ball with his back, Chris was not far behind him, and it was not so easy to turn around. Fortunately, he saw that Chu Zhongtian quickly got up from the ground and ran towards him, he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, and turned around and ran to the side.

Diarra also quickly caught up, Chu Zhongtian didn't let the football stay under his feet for an extra second, and directly passed the football to Menez, who had already adjusted his direction. He believes Menez, who is facing defenders head-on, will have more ways to handle the ball, which is not something he needs to worry about.

But after Menez received the ball, a voice suddenly sounded in Chu Zhongtian's mind: Continue to run forward and run into the penalty area!

He wasn't surprised by the sudden sound, he knew it was his instinct. He looked up for a moment to see what was going on.

Ibisevic was the only man in the box and he was the only striker in Metz. Menez received the ball on the right flank and faced Lyon's left wing-back, Erik Brown. Abidal. Ribery, on the other hand, moved in the middle, as if to insert it from the ribs. On the other side, Oblagnac is also moving towards the penalty area, and if Menez crosses from the bottom, he may be able to form a three-point outflanking in the front, center and back. But what if he didn't cross the bottom?

Chu Zhongtian decided to follow the instructions of his intuition and insert himself into the forbidden area. He spotted the area between Ibisevic and Oblagnak, with Lyon's centre-back Kacapa keeping an eye on Ibisevic and right-back Revier staring at Oblagnac in a brief vacuum.

What about Chris? Chris naturally prevented Ribery from breaking into the box.

When Chu Zhongtian accelerated and ran towards the penalty area, Menez passed! Sure enough, he didn't cross the ball, but passed the ball diagonally into the box!

Ibisevic didn't wait to stay put, he started running forward before Menez passed. Receiving the ball right behind Chris, Kakapa followed up and denied him a chance to shoot.

At the same time, Ribery also slammed into the box, and Ibisevic turned without a good chance to shoot, and passed the ball to Ribery, who was inserted. Chris followed him closely, and Kakapa lunged on his back.

Ribery made a shot with his foot, and Chris and Kacapa fell to the ground at the same time to block the interference. Unexpectedly, Ribery didn't shoot, he swept the ball to the other side!

"Frank. Ribery! Is this a shot? It's too off...... No! ”

The narrator was shocked that it can really cause heart disease.

As the camera pans to the ball, Ribery sweeps the ball to a position where there is no one behind the goal, but there is not no one there, just no one from Lyon...... Lyon goalkeeper Coupe was almost fooled when Ribery shot and now turned over and pounced, regardless of what else was behind him.

The person who appeared at the back point was not Oblagnac, but Chu Zhongtian!

"Wow! Clear! ”

Chu Zhongtian flew into the shovel and kicked the ball from Ribery...... At the same time, Kupe also pounced back, and he opened his arms and appeared in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes. He made the right move, but it didn't help him save the team. The ball rolled across the goal line from the fleeting space under his armpit!

"What is this...... Ball...... The ball is in! The ball is in! Mace's heaviest blow! Hit Leon in the heart! Clear! Clear! Chu's first goal in this game! Crucial goal! Nice match for Team Metz! ”

"Menez received the ball, he got it on the wing, did he want to break through Abidal? Ribery moved from the right to the middle...... Menez passes, he passes the ball to Ibisevic! Ibibishevic - Pass to Ribery! Frank. Ribery shoots - it's a pass! It's another pass...... Clear! Oh! It's Chu! Shovel shot! ”

The radio was filled with a steady stream of commentary from the announcer's machine gun.

"The ball is inβ€”!!"

When the narrator finally stopped being as "sudden" as a machine gun, he finally shouted a word that made Belmont raise his arms in the car.

But the passengers in his car were frightened by Belmont's action - the taxi was already speeding up, but the driver dared to let go of the steering wheel with both hands!

"You're crazy!" The frightened pale passenger exclaimed, his voice distorted. "Hold on to the steering wheel!"

Belmont withdrew a hand, took control of the car, and said to the passengers behind him, "Don't worry, sir!" My car is the safest! ”

"The ball is in - the ball is in!! Metz has scored again! 3:1! They re-widened the margin to two goals! Aha, Leon is going to be out of luck right now! "The Metz announcer on the radio was a little gloating.

"That's right, man! Lyons are going to be out of luck! Oh! Belmont shouted after the narrator.

The Stade Geraand is already frying, the Lyon fans are desperately booing, and the Metz fans are cheering and singing loudly. The narrator frantically pinned all the praise on Mace and Chu Zhongtian.

"It's really a '**-type' competition! Metz leads Lyon 3-1 away! Eleven minutes after Lyon narrowed the gap from two goals to one, Metz stubbornly widened the gap to two goals! ”

"The performance of the Metz team is amazing and respectful! They've done a lot of things that no better team than them has done! ”

"Chu didn't have many shots in this game, this is only his second shot! But the goal was scored! He's a key man for Metz – he doesn't score many goals, but he always saves the team when it counts! It was a very important goal, it re-stabilized the morale of the army and broke the morale of Lyon! ”

"A brilliant attacking combination, the Lyon backline was completely toyed with by a couple of Metz players! Diarra made a very fatal mistake, when Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerated into the penalty area, he didn't keep up with the ......"

The players and coaches from the Metz bench and dugout had already rushed to the sidelines, hugging each other and celebrating the goal. The Metz players on the pitch were even more crazy - Chu Zhongtian, who shoveled the ball in, had just gotten up and was about to run to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal, but was pulled to the ground by Ribery halfway.

"Don't run, boy! Stay, here and celebrate the goal in their box! Ribery pressed it down.

Ibisevic, Menez, and Obragnac all pounced and pressed Chu Zhongtian under him.

Chu Zhongtian, who was pressed below, slapped the ground hard, and he didn't know if he was excited or out of breath because he was pressed...... compared to the crazy Mace people, the Lyon players were stunned. They didn't expect their team to score just one goal in almost the entire game, but to score three goals for Metz...... What is this all about, and why?

From any point of view, it is impossible to see the reason why Lyon lost to Metz. It's better than them, it's still at home, and it just won the league title...... It stands to reason that the victory in this game should be as refreshing as a dessert after the main course.

Unexpectedly, the dessert was so greasy that it upset their own appetite, and they couldn't eat it anyway.

Now I can only watch the desserts, and I have more than enough energy. I really didn't expect that the dessert that should have been swallowed by them would resist again.

Seventeen minutes were left before the end of the game, but their defeat seemed irretrievable......
