Chapter 104: Shot, Ibi!

readx;

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, Pauletta took the lead in rushing up, as the captain of Paris Saint-Germain, in terms of implementing tactics, it is natural to take the lead, not to mention that the head coach Lacomb will be right, this is their only chance to redeem themselves.

Chu Zhongtian did not entangle with Pauletta near the center circle, which was an opportunity to test out a new tactic.

He passed the football to Promans behind him, who was not far from him, which also had something to do with the fact that the game had just started and the formation had not yet been opened.

Promans didn't pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian, because Pauletta let Chu Zhongtian go, but Kalaw followed. Promans knew that the situation in the first half would be difficult for Chu Zhongtian to deal with, because no matter where he ran, he would always be around him in time to keep up with such a PSG player, sometimes Pauletta and Kalou, sometimes Mbami and Roten.

He passed the football back to centre-back Bobiconi, and Chu Zhongtian wanted to run back to pick it up - this was his habit. Promans waved his hand at him: "Go ahead, Chu." I'm in charge of tandem front and back. ”

So Chu Zhongtian obediently ran up.

Kalaw, who was going to defend him closely, was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Zhongtian who ran behind him, hesitated and still didn't follow. Anyway, in his opinion, although the kid was out of his control, he had entered the territory that Mbami and Doraso were in charge of, and no matter how he ran, he couldn't escape.

For Chu Zhongtian Paris Saint-Germain, you can use the strategy of area plus pressing, but they don't do it against the rest of the people in Metz - if everyone in Metz does this, it is completely unnecessary, on the one hand, the amount of work is huge, and on the other hand, the effect may not be good. They just need to defend the core.

Bobigoni passes the football to Promans. Promans was not forced by the opponent like Chu Zhongtian, and Pauletta only made a symbolic defensive move.

For a small team like Metz, as long as you contain their core, the whole team is almost paralyzed. There's no need to waste energy on other people.

Promans calmly turned, then dribbled forward.

Kalaw came up to stop him, and he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian in front.

Almost at the moment of receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian felt the pressure from behind him, so he immediately passed the football to Oblagnac diagonally opposite.

Originally, Oblagnac should have played the ball quickly, because Chu Zhongtian had already completed the run. As a result, Oblagnac habitually wanted to break through, and was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain's Christopher Brown. Landlin (christophe_landrin) and right-back Bernard. Mendy teamed up and broke off.

Although PSG are not so focused on Promans' defense, it does not mean that they are not very defensive against any Metz player, let alone the Metz attacking player who poses a direct threat to the goal. In fact, Chu Zhongtian was certainly heavily defended, and Ribery, Menez, and Oblagnac, the three Metz attackers who played well in the league, have always been the main targets of PSG's defense.

Chu Zhongtian, who ran to the position but did not receive the pass, spread his hand to Oblagnac.

Obraniak, who had risen from the ground, waved his hand apologetically.

Chu Zhongtian made a quick interspersed gesture to him, and then turned around and ran back, participating in the defense.

It looks like it will take some time for the whole team to get used to this style of play, and hopefully PSG won't score again in that time. Coming from behind by one goal and still hoping for an equaliser, two goals behind is a heavy blow to the morale of Metz.

β€»β€»β€» In the subsequent games, Chu Zhongtian has been leading his teammates to try this style of fast passing and fast running, trying to make his teammates familiar with it as soon as possible.

There were a lot of mistakes in passing, because the passing speed was fast, the movement was fast, and there were often coordination errors.

For example, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, only to find that his teammates had run over. Or is it because the pass is too fast, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, the power is too great, and the ball cannot be stopped...... In short, all kinds of mistakes were the norm in the attack of Metz in the first thirteen minutes of the second half.

Only the cross-cutting and running coordination between Chu Zhongtian, Menez and Ribery is relatively smooth, and the three of them have a tacit understanding.

After seeing this scene from the sidelines, Fernandez decided to put Baba Car, who was completely incompatible with the three of them. Gueye came on and brought on Ibisevic.

When Ibisevic heard that he was going to come off the bench, he was a little surprised.

Fernandez pulled him to the sideline and asked a question that had little to do with tactics: "You transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to our team, Ibi?" ”

"Yes, sir." Ibisevic nodded. He didn't understand why the manager was asking this. In his opinion, the experience at Paris Saint-Germain is simply unbearable. His lack of confidence on the pitch today also has something to do with his experience.

When Halilhodzic brought him from the United States to Paris, he thought it was a good opportunity to change his fate. He was an invincible player on the Saint Louis University football team at the time, and with his experience playing in Swiss football clubs, he stood out from the Americans. At one point, he thought he was a genius.

When I arrived in Paris, everything changed. The naΓ―ve idea that "I am a genius" has been completely forgotten. He thought that with his ability, he would be able to play football in the lower leagues of Europe, but he did not expect to be favored by the French side Metz.

This transfer was considered a rebirth, and the result?

Unfortunately, he still did not rise from the quagmire of despair.

The experience of this half season at Metz has made him believe that he has no talent, and his ability is very average, and he is not a player who can play in the top flight. He wouldn't be surprised if Metz were to purge him this summer.

"You have a good relationship with Chu, right, Ibi?" Fernandez asked again.

Ibisevic nodded.

"Very well, then go up and join them." Fernandez nodded, and was about to push him out of the field.

He hurriedly asked, "What is my mission, sir?" After a few conversations, he didn't mention his tasks and tactical arrangements on the field, how did he play?

Fernandes said to him: "You are a striker, what do you say your task is? ”

Ibisevic tried to say something, but in the end he swallowed it.

He remembered what Chu Zhongtian had said to him before the game: Have confidence in yourself.

"But I can't do it" It's better not to say it...... ※※※" Fernandes took the lead in making the first substitution of the game. In the 58th minute, he replaced Gueye with Ibisevic. Frankly...... I don't understand this substitution. The narrator shook his head. Since Ibyőević joined Metz, apart from a good start to the game, he has not played well in the game. No goals have been scored so far. Fernandes, the starter of the game, finally replaced the useless Ibisevic, I thought he had finally figured it out, but I didn't expect ......"

"Paris Saint-Germain once abandoned this big baggage, Metz picked it up, and now it must be regretted, right? The Parisians must be glad that Ibisevic was an opponent in this game, not a teammate, ha! ”

Ribery saw Ibisevic running onto the field and gave his roommate a thumbs up.

Ibisevic nodded at him, and then ran in front of Chu Zhongtian, he wanted to let the core of the team know what his task was so that he could cooperate in the game.

"There are no adjustments." He said to Chu Zhongtian. "The coach just asked me to come up and play as a striker."

"Of course it's a striker, do you still want to play as a defender?" Chu Zhongtian laughed.

"But I ......"

Chu Zhongtian interrupted him: "Do you remember the story I told you? Have confidence in yourself, and if you don't have confidence, shout when you shoot: 'This goal will go in'! Ha ha! He patted Ibisevic on the shoulder, then pointed ahead, "Go there, wait for me to pass the ball to you, if you have a better chance and position, shoot, don't be afraid that you won't shoot, just don't be afraid that you won't shoot!" ”

There was still some hesitation on Ibisevic's face.

Chu Zhongtian pointed to the Paris Saint-Germain player: "Don't you think this is a good opponent, Ibi?" They brought you here from the United States in the first place and gave you hope. Then they abandoned you. How nice it is to beat them, score their goals, and prove to the people who abandoned you, questioned you, and laughed at you that you are now a good mixer! ”

When he said this, Chu Zhongtian admitted that he was not thinking about Ibisevic, but about Joe, who was in the amateur team Wimbledon. Schilling.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, Ibi. The game is about to begin. ”

Chu Zhongtian pushed him, turned around and ran back.

After running a few steps, he turned around and ran backwards, shouting at Ibisevic: "Don't come back to play defenders, we don't need you!" ”

Commentators and commentators and commentators are still questioning Ibisevic's appearance, and they all believe that Fernandes' substitution is a failure. Ibisevic, who was not in good form and had no performance at such an early stage, and was considered a parallel product, really did not look like the performance of a normal coach.

"It's a stupid move, and if Metz loses this final, I think his substitution will be widely questioned and criticized after the game!"

And Fernandes, who replaced Ibisevic on the field, stood on the sidelines and quietly watched Ibisevic on the field.

Next door, Lacomb turned to look at his old friend. He couldn't guess what Fernandez's substitution meant. When Metz approached PSG for Ibisevic, he had just taken over from Fornier as PSG's manager. Finding that Fernandes was actually interested in Paris Saint-Germain players that he had never heard of, he thought that his predecessor had missed some pearls, so he specially found Ibisevic's game video and data research, and after watching it, he felt that he was too worried. The Bosnian was nothing but big. As a striker, his shooting skills were really poor and he lacked self-confidence. He also has a mediocre running position on the pitch and is occasionally able to pass the ball to his teammates.

He doesn't know why Fernandes has taken a fancy to this person, anyway, Paris Saint-Germain definitely doesn't have this player's position, so it's better to send a favor. In this way, Ibisevic transferred to Metz at a very low price.

Ibisevic started almost every game of the season and did not score a single goal. His performance proved what Lacombe had previously said about him, and it also made Metz fans unhappy. There are local media in Metz who simply believe that Ibisevic is the biggest parallel commodity of Metz this season - what is the use of buying a striker who can't score goals? Although the Bosnian and Negro worked hard in the game and returned to the box many times to help defend, we paid 800,000 for a striker, not a centre-back!

Lacombu was glad that he had made the man a quick shot, so he couldn't understand Fernandez's current adjustment even more - did his old friend think that this Bosnian could change the game and turn Metz into a winner? He believed that Chu had this ability, Ribery had this ability, and Menez had this ability, but ...... Ibisevic, I'm so sorry.

β€»β€»β€» The game continued, and under Chu Zhongtian's tireless running-in, the cooperation of the whole team finally looked like this.

Menez still found a chance to shoot with his feet under the eyes of PSG, and the ball was finally saved by goalkeeper Alonzo with the tips of his fingers, leaving both PSG players and fans in a cold sweat.

Ribery also got a chance to break through in the fast passing and running with Chu Zhongtian, but unfortunately he took the last step a little bigger, and was directly picked up by the attacking goalkeeper Alonzo.

PSG's players found that the threat of Chu Zhongtian, who was more in the front position, increased exponentially than in the first half, and they were a little overwhelmed. So he strengthened the defense of Chu Zhongtian, Menez and Ribery, the three "Mace swordsmen".

As for Ibisevic, who has just been on the pitch for a short time, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Some of PSG's players will remember Ibisevic's move to the club last season – four appearances and zero goals.

In a team like Dijon in Ligue 2, only eight goals have been scored in 28 games.

What kind of threat can such a striker pose to our goal?

Thanks to Metz coach Fernandes for doing this, at least Gueye is fast and can still cause some small problems for PSG's defenders up front. And this big man can't even make the slightest trouble.

Such people have no value to pay attention to.

Chu Zhongtian also noticed this in his entanglement with Mbami and Doraso, and he found that Ibisevic, who was substituted, did not get the attention of the PSG players, and at times they were too lax and casual in their defense.

Perhaps these Paris Saint-Germain players think that Ibisevic can't even score a single goal and has no defensive value.

Chu Zhongtian didn't see it that way. Regardless of whether Ibisevic can build confidence in this game, he has to pass the ball to him.

Pass to a player in a better position, that's the passer's job.

But first he has to get the ball...... Chu Zhongtian received the ball and stopped a little bit, and Mbami got in and wanted to break the ball from under his feet.

But Chu Zhongtian himself is also from a back and is known for steals, how can he let Mbami cut off the ball so easily?

Mbami thought he had managed to get stuck in the position and the football was his. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian turned around and chased after him, stretched out his foot and hooked the football away from Mbami's side a little distance. Mbami didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to be so tenacious, his body had not yet twisted due to inertia, Chu Zhongtian had already inserted it back, hooked it again, and at the same time stuck his body, completely cutting off the connection between the football and Mbami.

Chu Zhongtian, who snatched back the football, leaned on Mbami with his body, so that he had no way to break the ball easily.

He looked up and saw that in the middle of the PSG backline, there was a hole - there was no one around Ibisevic!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Because PSG's defensive attention is focused on Ribery and Menez. Two people, one to the left and the other to the right, pulled the defenders of Paris Saint-Germain apart, just now!

Chu Zhongtian pushed the football out.

Ibisevic, who was in the penalty area, looked back at Chu Zhongtian, he thought that the opponent would pass the ball to Ribery or Menez, but he didn't expect the football to roll towards him!

He passed to Ibisevic...... "Although Ibisevic's position is very good, the commentator's voice does not seem to be excited at all, but a little regretful - it's a pity that the attack launched by the counterattack in the front court is a pity...... Ibisevic raised his foot to catch the ball.

At this time, his mind was still quite clear, and he knew that there was only the goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain in front of him, and no one else, as long as he raised his foot to shoot...... But I haven't scored a goal in half a season, even if I shoot, can I really do it? This is a great opportunity if you waste it...... What will you do? Why don't you pass the ball to a teammate in a better position?

No, your position is already the best, who else to give?

When the football touched Ibisevic's toes, he heard a loud roar from Chu Zhongtian: "Shoot, Ibby!!" ”

"It was supposed to be a great chance for Metz to score, but Chu passed the ball to Ibisevic......" The commentator was not excited at all.

The Paris Saint-Germain defenders didn't even pounce on Ibisevic when they saw that it was Ibisevic who received the ball, but were stunned for a moment - presumably they were still mentally assessing the chances of letting Ibisevic shoot a goal. Maybe I rushed back and hit him, resulting in a penalty, wouldn't it be even more of a loss?

However, Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper Alonzo did not hesitate at all and abandoned the goal!

Time was running out for Ibisevic, who received the ball near the penalty spot and the goalkeeper ran off the line, a distance of eleven metres that would be just over a second for a fast man.

Ibisevic looked down at the football spinning at his feet.

Shot!

After Chu Zhongtian finished yelling, a voice echoed repeatedly in his mind.

I'm a striker and my job is to shoot and score!

Shot!

He picked up his legs.

This ball...... This goal must go in!!

"Shoot-"

The ball slashed across Alonzo's face, and he waved his hand, but nothing touched it.

It's not surprising, and Ibyshevic has had no less chances to shoot like this in previous games. But the ball he shot was either saved by the goalkeeper, blocked by the post, or simply shot high and couldn't get in anyway. It was as if the goal and the ball he shot were objects with the same magnetic poles.

Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists, he could see clearly, this time it was different!

The ball went around the goalkeeper, didn't hit the post, didn't hit the crossbar, didn't go wide or went high over the goal, it broke through the invisible wall and hit the net behind the goal line...... "Ah...... Ah......h Ahh Ahhh Metz has scored! Metz has scored! No...... It was Ibisevic who scored! Ibisevic has scored! The Bosnian man, he scored his first goal in Metz!! ”
