Chapter 100: The Best Start
readx;
Chu Zhongtian was holding the little player in his hand, and when he followed the team outside, he heard a huge cheer from outside, which was the fans of both sides welcoming their teams in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He had seen the stadium on TV in 1998 during the World Cup in France. Unexpectedly, eight years later, he stepped on this stadium as a player.
I can't really say what it feels like.
Is it a dream come true?
No, I didn't have such a dream eight years ago.
He let go of the little player's hand, trotted a few steps, jumped up the steps, and the huge stands and the grassy pitch appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly opened up. But it's not that that's what catches the eye, it's the French Cup on a table on the halfway line, the silver cup that reflects the surrounding media and the green pitch, the full stands, and of course, the players from both teams competing in the final.
Every Metz player who walked past the championship trophy couldn't help but take a look at the silver trophy, and Ribery even reached out to touch the trophy, and then he turned around and smiled happily at Chu Zhongtian.
"It's cool." He said to Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian didn't touch the trophy until the end of the game, he planned to touch, touch, and hold it openly, and experience the touch of it, whether it was cold or hot.
The little players around him kept looking at him, obviously curious about this yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese.
Chu Zhongtian felt the curious gaze of the French teenager, and he lowered his head and smiled at the other party.
Unexpectedly, Kanna transferred away, and there was still someone by his side staring at him...... Players from both teams led their young players from each side of the championship trophy to their designated positions, and then stood in a row for the media to rush up to take pictures and take pictures. In front of them, the championship trophy was very eye-catching and eye-catching. Everyone looked at it with a little greed in their eyes, as if they were watching a beautiful woman who had stripped off her clothes and was posing in front of them in all sorts of seductive poses. That's what they've been fighting for all season, and they're going to have to fight for at least 90 minutes in order to be able to get their hands on Fangze.
A lot will happen in these ninety minutes, and there will be only one winner in the end. For this trophy, you can pay any price!
Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists, and when he heard a low moan from the side, he realized that he was still holding the young man's little hand...... It seems that I pinched him and hurt him.
He lowered his head and apologized a little embarrassedly to the young player who didn't even know his name: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was distracted......"
Seeing that Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to speak to him, the young man also became bolder, and he asked, "Can you also be distracted in the final?" ”
Chu Zhongtian didn't answer his question, but smiled and looked at the trophy again.
It is precisely because it is the final that such a god will go.
※※※ Emily saw Chu Zhongtian appear in the stands, and shouted excitedly: "Chu! Clear! Clear! At the same time, she opened the paper in her hand and waved it downward.
The people around her are like this, and it doesn't show how abrupt she is.
It's just that after those people shouted Chu, they followed up with the next player who shouted Mace. Emily, on the other hand, remained silent - she was not familiar with Mace at all, she was just here to cheer for Chu Zhongtian.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian looked at the three rows of shots in front of him, with long guns and short guns, some people kneeling to take pictures, and some people standing on chairs to shoot. The flashes come and go, which really makes people feel a little overwhelmed. It's been four seasons since I started at Wimbledon, and it's the first time I've seen something like this. Even the FA Cup match against Chelsea for Wimbledon didn't have so many reporters, so sure enough, the final was different.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Standing next to him was Ribery, with a serious face. Menez was on the other side, expressionless.
At this time, the stadium radio sounded the sound of "playing the national anthem".
The stands, which had been noisy before, suddenly fell silent. Soon the majestic "Marseille March" sounded.
Before the French Cup final, the French national anthem was to be played, but Chu Zhongtian couldn't sing it, and several French teammates around him sang loudly along with the music, but Ribery's dialect didn't sound like he was singing the French national anthem.
Chu Zhongtian closed his mouth and waited quietly for the national anthem to finish.
After the national anthem was played, the players were not asked to shake hands with each other, because there was still a procedure that had to be completed - Chu Zhongtian saw a tall figure walking down from the rostrum above.
When the figure walked into the venue, he recognized that it was French President Jacques Brown. René. Chirac (jacques_rene_chirac)!
Chu Zhongtian still has a good impression of the French president, because under his rule, the relationship between France and China has always been very harmonious, and the education he received since childhood made him feel that Chirac is "a good friend of the Chinese people." I didn't expect that there would be such a procedure in the final of the French Cup - the current president of France shook hands with the players from both sides who participated in the final.
Chirac walked to the centre of the pitch and shook hands with the PSG players, patted them on the shoulders and said a few words of encouragement. Everyone who shook his hand was honored, including the referee.
When Chirac walked in front of Chu Zhongtian and stretched out his hand to him, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly handed over his hand and shook hands with the French president.
Because Chu Zhongtian was the only Asian player and the only Chinese player among the players on both sides in the final, Chirac stayed in front of Chu Zhongtian a little longer. "Do you understand French," he asked, young man. ”
Chu Zhongtian replied in French: "No problem, Mr. President." ”
Hearing Chu Zhongtian's fluent French, President Chirac smiled.
"I've been to China many times, it's a beautiful country with a lot of people. I am very happy that for the first time in the history of the French Cup final, there is a Chinese player. You've done a good job, good luck. ”
"Thank you, Mr. President, and I hope you can go to China again." Chu Zhongtian sent out an active invitation.
Chirac didn't expect an ordinary player to be able to cope with it so easily, he laughed, and then patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "I will definitely go again if I have the chance." ”
Then he let go of Chu Zhongtian's hand and walked to the next Ribery.
Chu Zhongtian heard him say to Ribery: "I think you have the ability to represent France in the World Cup." ”
Ribery was very pleased with this assessment of Mr. President, and thanked him repeatedly.
When President Chirac shook hands with the starters from both sides of the final, he went to shake hands with the substitutes and the coaches of both teams. It's just that at this time the next procedure has already been carried out on the field - the players of both sides shake hands with each other.
By the time Chirac walked back to the podium, Bobigconi was guessing with PSG's captain Pauletta, the Portuguese.
The players on both sides are back in their respective positions, and basically they won't change the existing half if they pick a side, so they are in what half they are in now.
Chu Zhongtian stood in his position, his lower back, still warming up, jumping and shaking his ankles. It seems to be very relaxed.
※※※ "I saw it, I saw it! When he was bouncing around in the camera, there was a burst of cheers in an ordinary house in Chengdu, Sichuan.
Gao Jie helped Chu Zuosheng and Zhou Xiaoxiang toss for a long time, and the player who watched the ball online finally ended buffering, and there was a picture just now, it was Chu Zhongtian. All three of them were pleasantly surprised.
"That's a lot of people!" Zhou Xiaoxiang noticed that the stands were densely packed with black people.
"Of course, the finals! The final of the French Cup! Chu Zuosheng became a volunteer commentator. Anyway, what came out of the computer speakers was all grunter French, and each of the three of them could understand it, and it was just right for him to comment.
"So if you win, you can win the championship, right?" Zhou Xiaoxiang asked.
"Of course. Winning is a champion! Chu Zuosheng said very loudly.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know that at this time, his parents had already done the live broadcast and saw the picture of his body moving at the Stade de France. At this time, he didn't think about anything, didn't think about his parents, didn't think about not replying to his text messages for a long time, and didn't know if it was Emily who was angry.
Captain Bobicon ran back and gestured to them: "Kick off, be careful." ”
He gave the captain a thumbs up, which meant, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
He's already in game form early.
The referee motioned for the two PSG players to enter the centre circle to kick off, with Pauletta and Kalou standing in front of the football.
The game is about to begin...... No.
The referee blew the kick-off whistle and Pauletta kicked the ball out and Kalou passed it back to Modeste in the back. Mbami (modeste_m'bami).
The race has begun!
※※※ Paris Saint-Germain did not rush to attack after possession of the ball, and Modeste, who played as a central midfielder. Mbami adjusted the football, looked at the Metz formation in front of him, and turned the ball to the Czech central defender David in the back. Rozenar (david_rozehnal).
The aim was to lure out the players of the Metz team and stretch their compressed formation so that there would be a gap that could be exploited.
Guye and Menez, who played as strikers, did run up and they went past the midfield of PSG and went straight to the PSG backline.
Rozenar knows he's a target and could be cut off if he gets the ball in hand, and he doesn't want to be the kind of defender who often appears in what appears in "the stupidest football mistakes of all time" and is ridiculed.
He passed the ball to right wing-back Bernard on the wing. Edouard Mendy (bernard_mendy), who had just received the ball, was a little surprised to find that the left midfielder of Metz was less than 10 metres away from him. Wanting to do something for a while but not knowing what to do is, in short, a bit of a "brain short circuit".
By the time he realized he should pass the ball to his teammate in front of him, Oblagnac had already rushed up to him and stabbed the ball away with his outstretched foot!
The Stade de France erupted into a loud noise, and the cheers of the Metz fans mixed with the exclamations of the Paris Saint-Germain fans, and it was impossible to tell whether they were cheering for the tackle or screaming in fright.
Mendy's mind was so quick that he knew what to do, and he didn't hesitate at all - he reached out and pulled Obragnac who was about to break through!
The referee's whistle sounded. Paris Saint-Germain right-back Mendy fouled! Metz was awarded a free-kick on the flank.
"Wow, the game just started and Metz got a free-kick in front! Unlike the pre-game media analysis, Metz showed a fierce performance after the start of the game! The narrator exclaimed.
They were indeed taken aback. Because before the game, the media generally believed that Fernandes would take a defensive counterattack in this game and grind Paris Saint-Germain to death. This tactic has proven to work well in a number of key matches.
Unexpectedly, Metz adopted an active tactic of pressing in front of the game at the beginning of the game, which caught Paris Saint-Germain by surprise. The mistake was a mess.
Promans is basically responsible for the free kicks in the front court, and as a key person to prevent the opponent's counterattack, Chu Zhongtian has to stay in the midfield to be responsible for defense.
But this time, Promans did not run up to take a free kick, but pushed Chu Zhongtian: "Chu, you go to the penalty area to fight for the top." ”
Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. "But I'm going to defend."
"I'm here."
"Who's going to take the free kick?"
'There's a lot of people in a wide cross that you can play, Oblagnac or Franck Franck Ribery. You can go up and give the other person a surprise. We haven't had you go up for a header from set-pieces this season, you are an 'accident' that they would never have imagined and were not prepared for. Promang winked at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian understood, this move is indeed very good, after he goes up, Paris Saint-Germain will lack the means and candidates to deal with him, and he will not be able to find anyone to defend him for a while, so as long as the kicked ball falls to the right point, he will be able to cause trouble for the opponent in front of Paris Saint-Germain's goal.
Time waited for no one, so he nodded and ran up.
Originally, Oblagnac planned to wait for Promans to come up and take a free kick, but he didn't expect Promans to wait until he waited for a Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian ran to Oblagnac first and said to him: "Promans is not coming, you can kick this ball." Kick me in the head. ”
With that, he sped up to the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area.
Ribery laughed when he saw him running in and huddled with the other man. He knew what this kid wanted to do, and in order to cooperate with him, he had to create more chaos inside, so he didn't get honest either, constantly changing positions in the crowd, and let the young left-back of Paris Saint-Germain, who was responsible for defending him, Sylvain. Armand (sylvain_armand) was dazed. Follow Ribery through the crowd, disrupting PSG's own defence.
Menez is also cooperating with Chu Zhongtian, he is 1.83 meters tall, and his header should not be underestimated.
When Chu Zhongtian saw such chaos on the line of the big forbidden area, he knew what his teammates were doing.
So he hid behind Menez and Ribery, relying on both of them to attract the attention of PSG's defence, while he kept his head down and looked like a transparent person.
Sure enough, none of the PSG players noticed him, and they were more concerned about Menez and the two centre-backs who rushed up, Bobiconi and Meniri.
Oblaniak also understood what Chu Zhongtian was going to do, he carefully arranged the football on the ground, and then pushed it away. The free-kick was low-key close to the touchline, 39 metres from goal, not far from the penalty line. This kind of free-kick is basically a kick with an out-spin kick that sends the ball to the penalty spot in the penalty area with a cross-like footwork to make it easier for your teammates to rush to the top.
When Oblagnac set up the football, he waited for the referee's whistle to blow.
The referee saw that the situation in the penalty area was basically stable, so he blew the whistle in his mouth.
At this time, the game played on the TV screen was one minute and thirty-eight seconds.
Oblagnac started to run, then hit the ball hard, and the ball took off into the air and flew in an arc towards the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area!
At this moment, Menez and Ribery sprinted to the left and the right, making a stance to rush to the top, and the Paris Saint-Germain players who were keeping an eye on the two of them followed him and ran around. In this way, in front of Chu Zhongtian, a crack suddenly appeared! It was as if the closed door had been pushed open by Ribery and Menez, and the front suddenly opened up!
This is the best chance! Now is the time!
Chu Zhongtian glanced up at the football and started running at the same time!
One-step...... The football flew in the air and was already approaching the penalty area.
Two-step ...... The first man to pass the ball was Paris Saint-Germain's left winger Roten, who didn't get to the ball and his header was more like a show.
Three steps!
Jump!
Football has finally entered a densely populated area.
Menez jumped up, followed by Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Jepes, who was followed by him, also leaping high to push the ball out. The two of them interfered with each other, but no one hit it!
Chu Zhongtian, who was unmarked, jumped in the air, very high, and the people below could only look up at him.
The ball sped over the heads of Yepes and Menez before reaching his airspace!
Chu Zhongtian, who was in the air, obviously had a time in the air, and he began to tighten his abdomen and twist his waist, making his body like a spring that had been compressed to the limit, just waiting for the ball to come and pop out!
Chu Zhongtian's eyes were fixed on the football, and the landing point of the football flashed in his mind, everything was exactly as he expected.
When watching the football arrive at the expected landing point, Chu Zhongtian's spring also ejected!
Kick your legs, swing your hips, twist your waist, and shake your head. The power was transmitted from top to bottom to his forehead, and then it hit the football hard!
Oblagnac kicked the ball into the box...... Clear! It's Chu! He jumped up...... Shake your head and attack the goal-!! The commentator suddenly shouted excitedly, because he saw Chu Zhongtian jumping high in the air, and there was no Paris Saint-Germain player around him at all! He shook his head and attacked the goal without distraction!
Next, the football was like a silver meteor, which was hit by Chu Zhongtian's head in the air, changed the flight route, and crashed headlong into the goal.
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alonzo (jerome_alonzo) struggled sideways to save, but Chu Zhongtian's header was too powerful and the ball was extremely fast, and he didn't catch anything except a gust of wind...... "buuuuu-!! buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut――!!! ”
At the narrator's roar, the silver meteor slammed into the white net.
Ball! Enter! Finish!
