Chapter 129: Away Goal

"Chu ...... Oh! Marseille maneuver! Beautiful! Ha ha! ”

Chu Zhongtian used the Marseille slalom to shake Ramirao and then organized an attack, but unfortunately Ribery's one-handed chance was not grasped, and he pushed the ball away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was Metz's rarest attacking opportunity. Before that, Metz defended more, after all, this is Bayer Leverkusen's home stadium, where the home team has a big advantage.

In the two-legged elimination system, the team that plays at home first must exert its strength as soon as it comes up, enter the game as quickly as possible, make full use of the 90 minutes at home, try to win the opponent by a large score, and make the second leg of the game lose suspense.

Bayer Leverkusen's manager Skibe (michael_skibbe) knows this, so his tactic for his team is to attack at home and try to score more goals, not only to win, but to win big.

Led by Schneider's tireless running, Bayer Leverkusen's offensive was fierce. Most of the time, Metz is at the back to implement the manager's tactical requirements of "defensive counter-attack".

That counter-attack was Metz's best chance after fifteen minutes of the first half.

It's a pity.

Ribery was also annoyed that he had wasted a great opportunity. When the football came out of the goal, he held his head in his hands and was very frustrated.

And the commentators in charge of broadcasting this game in various countries praised Chu Zhongtian's performance before one.

"It's surprising and impressive." This is what the narrator says the most.

"For a long time, Chu gave us the impression that he could only pass the ball, was not good at dribbling, had a slightly rough technique at his feet, and had first-class football awareness. I didn't expect him to be able to make such smooth movements now, it's amazing......"

With the appearance of Metz in the European arena, Chu Zhongtian, as the absolute main core of the team, has gradually been recognized by football commentators from more countries.

But the French commentator was not too surprised, but was smug about it.

"Imagine what Chu was before he came to Metz - an amateur player who had played in the amateur league for two years and had no professional training at all! Now look at his performance on the field, it is so relaxed and freehand, it is completely impossible to see that he was an amateur player who went to school and worked while playing football! Under the influence of the French football environment, he has also become a player with excellent skills! ”

The French have always believed that everything that is French is good, even football.

However, Chu Zhongtian's performance really confirmed his words very well.

Chu Zhongtian's rapid growth in football was spent in France, and the training and education he received in these two seasons in France is the fundamental reason why he can perform like he is today. No matter where he goes in the future, the most influential stage of his career will definitely be the years when he played in Metz in Ligue 1.

Ribery was annoyed, he could continue to stand in the front court with his head in his hands, Chu Zhongtian didn't have this time to regret what had happened, he turned around and ran back - so far, defense is still the first priority.

Leverkusen took the lead in the eighteenth minute. Schneider created a corner with a long-range shot, then Brazilian centre-back Juan won a corner and smashed the ball into the Metz goal with his head, but goalkeeper Humby made a mistake before that was the direct cause of the goal, he went out to receive the ball, but he didn't expect to save it. Let Juan, who was ambushed in the back, easily put the ball into the empty goal.

This season, Metz has performed well on all fronts, and the whole team has contributed a lot, but there is only one position that has a hidden problem, and that is the goalkeeper. Compared with his teammates on the other three lines, the old Wenbi is already a little unable to keep up with the pace of the team. It's just that he can't find a suitable goalkeeper for him, so Fernandez continues to use Humbi as the main goalkeeper.

Last summer, he also wanted to find a good guy to take over the place of Wenbi in the future, but unfortunately there was no suitable candidate.

Now it seems that how long Metz will be able to go in the UEFA Cup this season may be a big factor in the performance of Vinby.

Thirty goals conceded in twenty-four league games, the fifth-highest number of goals conceded in the league. At the same time, they have scored forty goals and are second in the league, just two less than Lyon, who have scored the most goals. The attacking football pursued by Fernandes is vividly reflected in this goal count.

"Wenbi's mistake is too amateurish!" The French commentator slammed the performance of the Metz goalkeeper, a mistake that put his team behind. "As a 34-year-old goalkeeper, how can there be such a mistake of attacking without touching the ball? Is it really too old to jump? ”

The misguided Humby was also frustrated, and he stood still, shrugging his shoulders and muttering in his mouth, but no one could hear him.

Chu Zhongtian was also very disappointed with the team's conceded goal, if it was usual, he would wave his hand helplessly, or shake his head and sigh.

But not now, he can't do that, because he realizes that he is the captain, what should a captain do at such a time? Chu Zhongtian didn't refer to others, but thought about what he should do as a captain.

He went up and patted Wambi on the shoulder, as he fished the ball out of the net and handed it to Ribery.

The game will continue, but only one goal has been conceded, and there are still seventy-five minutes left, can't Metz, who is good at attacking, still score a goal?

β€»β€»β€»After the game restarted, the football continued to be organized by Chu Zhongtian, and as long as Chu Zhongtian entered the opponent's half, what was waiting for him was Ramirao's tough defense.

Ever since Chu Zhongtian had used a Marseille maneuver to pass him, he had found that the flow of technique was very good against German players, because these players were generally large, had a high center of gravity, moved slowly, and moved slowly.

So he began to frequently try to use technology to shake off the ramilla, sometimes successful, sometimes unsuccessful. It doesn't matter if he fails, just grab it back, anyway, while he plays as a playmaker midfielder, he is also a defensive midfielder, and people have only seen his attacking talent for more than a season, but completely ignored his contribution in defense.

And Ramirao, and even the whole of Leverkusen, have not done a thorough study of Chu Zhongtian, and they have underestimated Chu Zhongtian's defensive ability...... In the thirty-seventh minute, when Chu Zhongtian was stared at by Ramirao and couldn't turn around, he was about to knock the football to Ribery with his heel, but the football was stabbed off in advance by Ramirao at the right time.

Next, Ramirao moved forward, intending to get into position and take the ball down. Chu Zhongtian's movements were fast, and after realizing that his football had been stabbed, he immediately followed. The two bodies huddled together, constantly colliding, and neither was willing to give up control of the ball.

The final result was that Chu Zhongtian used his physical and explosive advantages to snatch the ball back from Ramirau's feet.

Just after the ball was broken, the Bayer Leverkusen players were about to launch a counterattack, so they all ran forward, but a few seconds later, the ball changed hands and the football was back at the feet of Metz...... This offensive and defensive transfer is too fast, which will cause the team to have a delay in the corresponding time.

So when Chu Zhongtian grabbed the ball again, Leverkusen's defense revealed a loophole, and Chu Zhongtian also saw the loophole and directly passed a penetrating ball behind him!

Ribery originally planned to defend himself, but when he turned his head and found that Chu Zhongtian had broken the football again, he immediately knew what to do - there was a gap ahead, plug in!

At this time, Chu Zhongtian's pass happened to find that vacancy, and the two thought of it together, and the result was that Ribery successfully countered offside and received the football!

While Bayer Leverkusen's players were still raising their arms to signal for Ribery offside, their goalkeeper Bout was already on the move. At this time, he didn't care about scolding his teammates, so he pounced on the ball first and then settled accounts with those bunnies!

Shortly after the start of the game, he made a one-on-one save from Ribery and he was confident that he could save another one-time shot from Ribery in his form today.

In fact, he had a good idea, but he could save Ribery's one-handed ball, but he might not be able to save the cooperation of two people...... Ribery faced Bout again this time, but instead of shooting himself, he passed the ball to the middle!

Chu's pass...... No offside! No offside! Ribery receives the ball, single-handedly! …… He passed! Horizontal pass, stylish! ”

Waiting for Ribery in the middle was centre-forward Ibisevic, and all he had to do was adjust his ankle in one direction in the face of a huge open goal.

The ball hit the inside of his foot and bounced into the goal in a different direction.

"The ball is in!! Vedard. Ibisevic! He equalised for Metz! Twenty minutes after conceding the goal, Metz scored a valuable away goal! ”

Ibisevic, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag and was stopped by Ribery halfway through, and the other Metz players ran towards the two of them, including Chu Zhongtian.

"That's the offense that Metz has shown so many times this season!" The French commentator excitedly introduced. "Concise and fast delivery, Chu, as the organizational core of the team, can always find loopholes in the opponent's defense line and take advantage of them! And Frank. Ribery is no longer the stunned young man who only knows what he did when he gets the ball! His pass to the middle was appropriate and timely...... Then Ibisevic's job is simple, and scoring goals is a matter of course! It was such a pleasure to score a goal like this! ”

In the commentator's comments, the Metz players hugged each other and celebrated their goal.

"Well done, Ibi! Now we have an away goal! Ribery patted Ibisevic on the head.

"That's right, that's right! With an away goal, we're relieved! ”

"So there's nothing to be afraid of letting them score, they go to us, we go to them, and see who takes advantage in the end! Ha ha! ”

The Metz players, who scored an away goal, are in a good mood now, albeit only for the equaliser. But fools know that the away goal is a top two, and now that they have scored a goal, it is 2-1 to return to the home field, and they are ahead.

The morale of the Metz team, who equalised, was boosted, and they dominated the game and bombarded the Bayer Leverkusen goal. In the 43rd minute, they were awarded another free-kick in front. Normally, free kicks are taken by Promans, but he was injured in the warm-up before this game and could not play this game.

But it doesn't matter, a team doesn't have just one set-piece penalty taker. No. 2 free-kick penalty taker Frank. Signano Rino came up to take the penalty.

Signorino's free-kick hit the wall and bounced back. Bayer Leverkusen's players originally wanted to take the opportunity to break the ball and counterattack, but Wallen, who did not come back to participate in the defense in front, did not rob Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian cut off the football from him, then protected it with his body, and then handed the football to Signano Lino, who came back to pick him up.

While passing the ball, he made a "steady" gesture to Signorino.

Don't rush into a reactionary quick attack, although Bayer Leverkusen's players are now rushing forward, as was the case with the equaliser from Metz five minutes ago, the Metz players themselves were not prepared and rushed out the pass, which would not create any chances and would only squander possession.

Sigonorino is not Traore, he has only been with the team for less than a season. As an old Metz player, Signorino is a promising young man trained by Metz himself, who debuted in the Metz youth team since the 2000-01 season, and has played with Chu Zhongtian for more than two seasons. At first, he also had doubts about Chu Zhongtian's leadership of the team, and he was against Chu Zhongtian's words, but now this situation will not occur at all.

The tacit understanding of two and a half seasons, whatever Chu Zhongtian said, he did it.

Since you won't be allowed to launch a fast attack, let's be steady.

He sent the ball straight to the feet of centre-back Rodriguez in the back. At this time, Chu Zhongtian had already run to the backcourt and went to Rodriguez to ask for the ball.

Rodriguez didn't kick the ball forward like Traore did at the beginning of the game, he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, and so far no Leverkusen player has come up to force Chu Zhongtian, because he is in his own half, and Lamirao can't run so far to break the ball, so he will be out of position. In soccer, the consequences of being out of position can be more serious than letting go of a target.

As long as it is not more than half a court, Chu Zhongtian can calmly organize an attack - of course, he can only rely on long passes. And the German team is not weak in the air defense of the header.

Chu Zhongtian controlled the ball at the back, then dribbled over the halfway line and re-entered the Bayer Leverkusen half. He looked at the situation, and then hooked his hand at his "apprentice" Yayiovi.

Come up and pick me up, don't be so far away from me.

After Jayovi came up, he also attracted the attention of Bayer Leverkusen's players, and Chu Zhongtian saw that Schneider was always following him, so he turned around and passed the football to the right wing-back Ibrahim, who came in from behind. Kabo.

Yayi Ovib ran away, Chu Zhongtian made a gesture to him, and rushed forward.

Cabo is a full-back with a lot of assists, and at times it's even hard to tell whether he's a full-back or a full-back.

He dribbled the ball on the wing, and Chu Zhongtian went head to head with him in the middle position, ready to meet him at any time. Of course, Cabo can also not pass the ball to him, as long as he has better passing options.

And when Cabo finds that it is impossible for a person to break forward and there is no better passing option, he will pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian, who receives him.

Just like this time.

He found that there was very little room for a breakthrough, he was not completely sure of success, and there was no good option for passing, and he did not guarantee that he would be able to pass when there was a vacancy. So he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

At this time, Ribery also pulled to the side, hoping that Chu Zhongtian would pass the ball to him.

Chu Zhongtian didn't look at him, turned to the other side, and seemed to be planning to pass to Oblagnak, who was rushing on the left side, or to the center forward Ibisevic, who was pulled out of front of the goal.

No matter how Ribery waved his hand over there, signaling that there was no one to mark him here for the time being, he just turned his back to Ribery.

Leverkusen's players thought that Chu Zhongtian would pass the ball there, so they consciously shifted the focus of the defense to it.

At this moment, Chu Zhongtian suddenly half-turned around and made an overhead crossing pass!

The target is none other than Ribery, whom he had been facing away from before!

The ball went over the head of Bayer Leverkusen's left-back Athirson, and although the Brazilian jumped, he couldn't touch it unless he reached out.

After completing this very difficult sudden half-turn pass, Chu Zhongtian didn't stand still and sat down. He then sat on the ground and watched as the ball went over Asielson's head, while Ribery stepped forward as if he had received a signal in advance, stretched out his leg and stopped the ball in the air.

Ribery's stop was great because he didn't stop the ball and unloaded the ball to his inside so he could take the ball into the box and once he got it, there was a good chance that the attack would have a good result.

Ribery really used his left foot to push the football into the penalty area as Chu Zhongtian guessed, and it was like a lightning bolt into the penalty area!

When Ribery burst into the penalty area, there was no Leverkusen player around, because Chu Zhongtian's pass was too unexpected, so Leverkusen's backline was still a little unresponsive.

The unmarked Franck Ribery took the ball straight into the box and the rest was much easier for the French international...... Once he burst into the box, he had only one thought - shoot!

Facing goalkeeper Bout, who blocked the angle, but a look of despair flashed on his face, Ribery decisively shot with his feet when the angle was not large!

He straightened his toes and shot a ball that rolled rapidly against the turf.

Bout originally thought that Ribery's shot would be a high ball, and many players would choose to shoot high from a tight angle because the goalkeeper was below and the space above their heads could be exploited.

When he found out that the ball shot by Ribery was a boccia, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and tried to block the ball with his body or legs. He almost succeeded...... The soccer ball slipped between his legs, hit the heel of his right leg, bounced off and flew into the goal!

"Mace 2:1! In five minutes they scored again! At Bayer Stadium, the home of Bayer Leverkusen, the French side have already scored two away goals!! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting on the ground, straightened his waist, raised his arms high, and showed a happy smile on his face.

As the commentator said before, he was in really good shape in this game.

The captain's armband gave him a huge amount of motivation.
