Chapter 38 The confrontation with Juninho

Juninho soon understood why Messe's No. 30 said that to himself - he obviously wanted to remember his name, and he did remember that name now.

Five minutes into the game, Chu Zhongtian truly achieved a "unseparable" defense against Juninho. At first, Juninho thought that he only attacked the opponent's home court, and the No. 30 would force him up, so he considered retreating to his half and avoiding the No. 30 entanglement. However, he did not expect that he still did not get rid of Chu Zhongtian's pressing in the second half.

After he went back to catch the ball, he found that he couldn't even turn his body. It was obvious that there was someone pushing him over. As an offensive player, he was very familiar with this feeling, which meant that a defensive player was pressing him closely.

Juninho knew that this was a dangerous area and did not get involved with the people behind him, so he passed the ball back, and then signaled his teammate Essin, who was receiving the ball, to pass the ball to Maluda in front, instead of giving it to himself. He turned around and cut the run. Only then did he see who was running to Lyon's 30-meter area to press him - it was Metz's No. 30!

After running nearly fifty meters to force himself, Juninho felt a little incredible.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't care what others will think. Anyway, the task assigned by Coach Fernandez is to keep a close eye on Juninho, so he doesn't have to worry about other things. Then he goes to the ends of the world with Juninho, so that the Brazilian can comfortably catch the ball, pass the ball comfortably, and control the ball comfortably.

Watching Juninho running forward, Chu Zhongtian also ran back. Although he was not close to his body, his eyes were always sweeping Juninho with his own light and paying attention to his every move.

Seeing that Chu Zhongtian was not close to him, Juninho suddenly stopped and prepared to ask for the ball. Almost as a colleague, Chu Zhongtian also stopped urgently, turned around and moved closer to him, bringing the two people closer.

Juninho now knows that Messe's No. 30 is specifically responsible for freezing himself in the game. He still hooks up and signals his teammates to pass the ball to him, and does not evade the responsibility of organizing the offense because of Chu Zhongtian's close-up control. He has encountered such a situation many times since he played football. Does he disappear without doing anything every time he encounters someone close-up control?

After playing in Ligue 1 for four seasons, he has not encountered any situation he cannot solve. Ligue 1 has always played a back midfielder, and he has played against all kinds of back midfielders. His rich experience can help him deal with Metz's No. 30 well in this game.

Isn’t it just a young man? Can you still be afraid of a young man?

The football was passed to Juninho's feet, and at the same time, Chu Zhongtian forced him up. The moment Chu Zhongtian rushed up, Juninho gently poked the football with his left foot outside the instep, and Chu Zhongtian rushed directly, and Juninho started to get rid of Chu Zhongtian and chase the ball!

Lyon fans burst into cheers when they saw the captain getting rid of his opponent so lightly in the stands.

The commentator also kept praising Juninho for his extraordinary weightlifting this time: "It's a perfect reflection of small skills. He told those children who like to play football that it's not just cycling that cycling is considered technology, and this is also! A perfect getaway!"

Chu Zhongtian did not expect that Juninho would use his ankles to deceive him. He rushed too hard and directly passed between the football and Juninho. When he turned around, Juninho was already five meters away.

He was not upset, but felt very excited - this is right! This is right! Such an opponent is strong enough!

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and rushed towards Juninho. Although the two men were five or six meters apart, he did not give up. Anyway, he had good physical strength and was not afraid of wasting it here.

The TV commentator continued to praise Juninho's little skills. Suddenly, a figure wearing a crimson Metz jersey suddenly appeared in the TV camera. The figure did not hit Juninho suddenly, but was entangled with Juninho after slowing down.

"It's Chu!" The commentator couldn't help but scream. "He is so tenacious..."

Juninho obviously did not expect that Chu Zhongtian, who was thrown five or six meters away by him, could catch up so quickly. He was caught off guard and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, the Brazilian player's unique delicate skills allowed him to control the ball again under the interference of Chu Zhongtian.

But this time the pass was lost. He stopped suddenly, turned around, protected the football in front of his body, and carried Chu Zhongtian on his back, preventing him from easily cutting off his ball. Chu Zhongtian pushed Juninho from behind, while at the same time he stepped down to seek an opportunity to cut off the ball.

Juninho did not continue to get entangled with him. Although his skills could get rid of Chu Zhongtian, wasting energy and wasting time did not necessarily lead to an attack. Now he could not get rid of Chu Zhongtian and get out the ball. The players who organized the offense would have to pass everyone every time they passed the ball. That was wrong.

He saw that the full-back Abidal had rushed up along the sideline, so he held Chu Zhongtian with one hand and then passed the ball to Abidal who was trapped from the side. The ball happened to be in front of Abidal. He could just sweep the ball out without slowing down, so that even the Metz players who wanted to defend could not defend.

Chu Zhongtian was powerless to do anything about such a ball, so he could only run back to the penalty area and prepare to compete for the top.

Judging from this confrontation, Juninho successfully passed the ball, and Juninho was slightly better.

But the competition is still long, there will always be opportunities.

※※※At the beginning of the first half, Juninho felt that it was quite easy to deal with Chu Zhongtian, and even if he couldn't get through, he could pass the ball from another angle. But later he found that it was not that easy to get rid of him.

Once he faced Chu Zhongtian head-on, intending to use his fake moves to shake Chu Zhongtian away and break through and pass the ball. As a result, Chu Zhongtian did not take his fake moves at all. He just waited for his feet to move slightly away from the football, and then he stretched out his foot and poked the ball out of lightning.

Then he passed the ball directly to Ribery on the wing, and Metz fought back. Unfortunately, Ribery's direct shot was above the crossbar in the end. However, this also shocked Lyon's fans in a cold sweat.

"It's really dangerous... Ribery's performance is the best in Metz!" The French commentator directly ignored Chu Zhongtian's performance.

Ribery, who shot the ball away, roared, looking very upset.

Metz doesn't have many offensive opportunities. On occasion, they rely on Ribery or several other offensive players to fight alone, which cannot threaten the gate guarded by the French No. 2 national goalkeeper Kupe.

On Lyon's side, Juninho now felt the pressure brought to him by Chu Zhongtian. However, although Chu Zhongtian's defense can interfere with him, he can also stare at the interference and pass the ball. Although not every ball is passed in place, unlike unmanned defense, there are still seven or eight of the ten balls that can be passed out.

So in general, Lyon was pressing Metz to fight. Although Chu Zhongtian posed a certain threat to Juninho, he had not completely frozen the opponent.

After seeing this scene off the court, Fernandez shook his head gently. Perhaps it was because he said before the game that he should not give Juninho too many free kicks in the dangerous area, which affected him and made him feel a little reluctant. Once he reached the front of the penalty area, he was a little afraid to make moves.

This won't work.

He said to Carre next to him: "David, tell Chu, let him defend as much as he should, and don't have too many concerns."

Carre nodded, got up and walked to the sidelines, shouting Chu Zhongtian's name, and then when he saw it, he passed on the words of coach Fernandez to Chu Zhongtian.

After hearing Kare's words, Chu Zhongtian nodded.

Although it is not necessarily a foul every steal, Chu Zhongtian does have many steals because he is worried about giving the opponent too many free kicks, so he would rather let it go than create a free kick. Now that the head coach has untied him, what else can hesitate? Let's do a big game!

Juninho soon felt the change of his opponent. When Mahamadu Diarra passed the ball to him, he turned his back to the goal to catch the ball. Chu Zhongtian suddenly broke out from behind and rushed to Juninho, cutting off the contact between the football and him!

"Beautiful prediction and defense around the front!" Chinese commentator He Ping praised Chu Zhongtian for his bravery.

The French commentator felt that Juninho was too careless, "He didn't even look back before receiving the ball..."

※※Juninho took the ball again, this time it was Metz's corner kick. After Cooper got the ball directly, he threw it to him, allowing him to drive the ball and turn and advance forward. This time, Chu Zhongtian was arranged into the penalty area by Fernandez, so he did not appear next to Juninho at the first time. He waited for Juninho to turn around and dribble the ball before chasing out of the penalty area.

Juninho's speed was not very fast. When he was taken to the central circle, Chu Zhongtian had already completely chased him from behind.

This time, the French and Chinese narrators were always amazed: "This is so fast!"

Chu Zhongtian, who caught up with Juninho, did not intend to continue to let the Brazilian player take him down. He glanced at the diagonal back. Lyon's two wing assaulters and forward Frau had already caught up. If he was a little later, Juninho could pass the ball to them. When would he not step down at this time?

He did not hesitate anymore, accelerated over Juninho, and then scooped his feet and shoveled away. He dribbled the ball with his ball and knocked Juninho to the ground!

Lyon fans in the stands saw Juninho, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly fell to the ground and made a harsh boo. Amid the boo, the referee did not whistle. He did nothing, watching Chu Zhongtian get up from the ground and wade out the ball under his feet.

Juninho waved his arms angrily on the ground, and for the first time this game he lost his temper for Chu Zhongtian.

"Isn't this a foul?" asked the French narrator.

He Ping shouted: "Clean defense! absolutely no problem tackle!"

The slow motion replays in time. Juninho in the picture just dribbled the ball. Before he could catch up with the second step, Chu Zhongtian kicked off the ball. The timing was perfect, neither too late nor too late. If it was early, it might be wade by Juninho, and if it was late, it might be shoveled to Juninho's feet.

As for Juninho falling to the ground, it was because Chu Zhongtian couldn't stop the car and took Juninho down under the influence of inertia. "If all fouls were to be judged in this way, then the audience could only hear the frequent whistles in a football match." He Ping finally concluded.

Chu Zhongtian himself didn't care whether he was fouled or not. He was still a little worried about the place near the penalty area, but in the middle circle, he was not worried at all. As long as it was not a very bad foul, he would basically not be able to take the cards. Even if he gave Juninho a free kick, he would not be able to score directly in the middle circle.

Seeing that the referee had no expression, Juninho angrily patted the turf, climbed up, and turned around to participate in the defense.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, who interrupted the ball, did not blindly make the ball. This was an offensive opportunity that Mes finally got. It cannot be wasted so easily. Although the task given to him by coach Fernandez in this game is defense, as a player who will grow into a midfield commander in the future, he must always think about initiating an offensive and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. If you just pass the ball out immediately after intercepting the ball, it is unqualified and you cannot become an MC who has both offense and defense (the abbreviation of a midfield player).

Originally, when Metz saw the opponent fight back, they were all trying hard to defend. Later, when they saw Chu Zhongtian cut off the ball, some chose to continue to defend, such as the two central defenders in the team, and some hesitated for a moment and stayed in the frontcourt, waiting for the opportunity to attack again.

Ribery is one of them.

After he saw Chu Zhongtian breaking the ball, he started moving to the middle, who was originally moving on the side. But he did not make any sound during the movement, nor did he make any obvious gestures, asking Chu Zhongtian to pass the ball to him - wouldn't that be exposed?

He did nothing, just approached the middle lane in seclusion.

Chu Zhongtian looked up and observed the situation, but he couldn't do this for too long because Mahamadu Diyala had already rushed up.

At this moment, his mind issued an order to look between Lyon's full-back Revier and temporary central defender Essin. Since Essin was a guest appearance after all, he got a better position, while Revier was dragging behind. The distance between the two was a bit large and not on the same horizontal line. This was a good time to counter offside!

Without any hesitation, he didn't care whether his teammates could see and use them, and his opponent would not give him time to think carefully. Chu Zhongtian pointed and pushed the football under his feet out.

"This is one of the few offensive opportunities for Metz, Chu should be more cautious..."

The French commentator was talking when he saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly punching the ball behind the Lyon players!

"Oh, my goodness!"

In his opinion, Chu Zhongtian's ball was too blind and too anxious.

But next, not only him, but everyone present, whether it was Lyon fans or few Metz fans, everyone at the scene saw a red figure passing through Lyon's penalty area like lightning, and Frank Ribery appeared behind all the Lyon defenders!

No one knew where he appeared. Anyway, when everyone focused on him, Ribery had already received a pass from Chu Zhongtian.

When Essin turned around, he saw that Ribery was still far away from him, he raised his hand to signal the lineman and the referee that the kid was offside.

Neither the lineman nor the referee paid attention to him.

After Ribery received the ball, he had no time to see if the lineman had already taken the ball. He turned the ball horizontally and faced the goal!

Kupe did not expect that Messe's attack would penetrate the defense line all day and could cooperate like this. You should know that Messe's previous attacks were all single fights by Ribery and Oblaniak and others, and he was caught in the double-team of several Lyon players alone. Even if this attack ended, it would be very few that could threaten Kupe.

He couldn't react and attacked a beat slower.

"No offside!" The Ligue 1 commentator shouted. He didn't expect that after thirty minutes of the game, the team that won the best chance was Metz, not Lyon!

"Look at this attack... Chu Zhongtian's pass is beautiful!! Beautiful!" He Ping also raised the volume excitedly.

After Ribery pushed the ball into the middle, Lyon's central defender Chris rushed over to grab the ball. He ignored Chris, stared at the football, and swept the goal ahead from the corner of his eyes.

Kupe was about to rush out, and Ribery raised her foot and shot!

Chris and Kupei fell to the ground at the same time, Chris stretched out his feet to fly the shovel, while Kupei fell to the ground with his arms spread out to save.

However, Ribery's football did not roll over the ground, but jumped up lightly, swept through Chris and Kupe, and then fell to the empty door behind them!

"Frank--" The commentator's voice came to an abrupt end as the football finally fell into the goal, and then he took a deep breath and shouted, "Ribery!!!"

"The ball has entered! The ball has entered! A beautiful attack! Planning by Chu Zhongtian, Ribery completed the last blow!"

Gerland Stadium had not yet reacted to this sudden goal. Even the few Metz fans did not expect their team to score first. You should know that from the first thirty minutes of the game, Lyon generally has the advantage. They just think it would be great to be able to defend the draw in the first half... Lyon fans were even more unlikely to react. They had previously felt that Metz could not threaten the goal guarded by Kupei.

After scoring the goal, Ribery ran wildly at the silent Gerland Stadium with his arms wide open, and ran all the way to the corner flag. Then he turned around and pointed at Chu Zhongtian who passed the ball for him, signaling him to celebrate together.

Metz's players rushed towards Ribery together, and Chu Zhongtian was naturally in it.

He assisted with a goal, which made him as happy as Ribery!

In the game against Lyon, we were ahead! And the leading goal was through my planning and assists!
