Chapter 41: That leap of passion(1/2)
In the 80th minute, in order to further strengthen the attack, Regon replaced the exhausted Frau, and a face Chu Zhongtian had seen - Karim Benzema.
When Benzema came on the court, he received warm applause from Lyon fans. Although he was only seventeen years old, he had already been highly expected by Lyon fans. Lyon fans all believed that the day when Benzema and Ben Alpha matured was the moment when Lyon dominated Europe.
Seeing Benze appearing on the court, Ben was still doing a warm-up in the warm-up area. Alpha looked at his good friend with some envy, and even forgot to continue warming up.
"This is not Benzema's first league appearance for the first team. Although he has not scored a goal for the first team yet, no one will doubt his future!" The commentator was talking nonstop to the audience. "Just this summer, he only won the European Youth Championship for the French Under-17 National Youth Team! He has a bright future!"
Regon replaced Benzema and exposed his tactical intentions very clearly - he was unwilling to defeat Messe only 2-1, and he wanted to score more goals, so he replaced Benzema and tried to strengthen the offense.
Benze easily shook away Metz's captain Stefan Bobiconi for the first time he touched the ball on the court, and then shot. Goalkeeper Winby racquetted the ball and gave Lyon a corner kick.
"Although he is only seventeen years old, he is not at all nervous and has shown his calm demeanor of a general!" The commentator seemed to like Benzema, a young man, and just shot, which made him praise him.
Winby, who saved the shot, jumped up and shouted: "It's only ten minutes, hold on!!"
Chu Zhongtian returned to the penalty area and defended the corner kick.
Juninho's corner kick was taken out and fell straight to the far corner of the goal. Essin, who was ambushed at the back point, jumped high, headed the ball to the top, and was saved by Winbi again.
The second consecutive corner kick.
Juninho continued to take the penalty. This time it was not Essin, but Chris came to compete for the ball. However, the person who competed with him was Chu Zhongtian. He was not as good as Chu Zhongtian in his judgment of the ball, and he lost the air battle.
"We should still look for opportunities to counterattack!" Chu Zhongtian, who completed this defense, told his teammates.
But most teammates are not interested in his proposal. Some are too tired and powerless, while others do not think they can still score goals at all. They just want to end the game quickly and lose less as winning.
Chu Zhongtian was a little helpless. He was not a savior and could not be used as eleven people alone. If his teammates did not cooperate, he would not be able to be awesome.
He saw Ribery gesturing at him. He ran over.
"Don't worry, Chu. I still have the strength to sprint. Pass the ball to me and I'll get them done!" Ribery waved to him.
Chu Zhongtian laughed. What a lucky thing it was to be able to find a comrade who had the same idea as him at the last moment of the game and was willing to work together...※※※In the 85th minute, Lyon was still pressing heavily to seek a goal opportunity, and did not take Mess, who had Ribery seriously at all. They were the overlords of Ligue 1 and only lost one game this season. They didn't take Mess like this, which was struggling to relegate so much at all!
Juninho took the ball in the middle again and did not continue to lead the ball, but directly assigned the football to Maluda on the sidelines.
Maluda looked confident in facing Mes' right-back Arigolo. The goal that Lyon overtook the score was the one who threw away Arigolo's cross and assisted Frau. Now he has the confidence to repeat the goal again.
During the process of dribbling, Maluda made a fake move to accelerate the bottom, tricking Arigolo into moving towards the bottom line in advance, and then he tapped the ball to the middle and planned to cut inside and walk horizontally.
At this moment, he was cut off the ball by Chu Zhongtian, who was waiting in the inside!
Both of them fell to the ground, and the first person to get up was Chu Zhongtian. The one thousand sit-ups he insisted on doing every day exerted his power at this time. The powerful waist and abdomen force made him get up from the ground faster than ordinary players.
Therefore, when Juninho was still preparing to pick up the bargain, Chu Zhongtian had already rushed to him!
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian seemed to have returned to the day of the match against Paris Saint-Germain. When Kana's "killing machine" was duel, they did not allow anyone in terms of momentum. Whether it was him or Kana, it seemed like he wanted to tackle the opponent's legs when he grabbed the ball.
Although this movement is dangerous, now is the time to need this momentum!
Chu Zhongtian saw Juninho lifting his foot to kick the ball, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground and put the shovel again!
Juninho was really frightened by Chu Zhongtian's two consecutive tackles. He thought that the game was almost over, and there was no need to go against the opponent on such a ball. What if he was injured? The UEFA Champions League is about to begin, and it is not worth the loss to be injured here... After thinking about this, Juninho gave up the idea of continuing to get entangled with Chu Zhongtian. He jumped up and avoided Chu Zhongtian's aggressive tackle.
Chu Zhongtian did not shovel the ball out, but used the technique of shoveling and keeping the ball. He left the football at his feet, quickly got up again, and took the football out.
Diyala saw Chu Zhongtian running towards the middle circle when she saw him dribbling the ball.
Physical confrontation? He is not afraid!
But Chu Zhongtian didn't mean to be one-on-one with him. Seeing Diyala running over, he passed the ball to the sideline. Frank Ribery received the ball!
As he said to Chu Zhongtian before, he still has the energy and can sprint.
Ribery, who received the ball, turned around and dribbled the ball out, and began to speed up the sprint!
The person who followed him was Abidal, which was not an easy opponent to get rid of.
Chu Zhongtian, who had passed the ball, originally planned to watch Ribery perform in his own performance, but just as Ribery dribbled the football out and started to start acceleration, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind:
"Frank Ribery" was running wildly along the sideline, while "Chu Zhongtian" followed up at the middle highway.
This is not the situation on the football field, but an attack he and Ribery cooperated with in the live football last night. After he cut off the computer ball in the midfield, he handed his big foot to "Ribery" on the side, and then "Ribery" drove the ball all the way, while controlling his Ribery shouting to Chu Zhongtian: "Come on, man! Don't watch the show behind!"
Chu Zhongtian felt strange. He used to pass the ball, but Ribery scored the goal, but now he has basically formed a single shot. There is only one full-back following him, and there is a central defender in the middle. Can he still not deal with such a situation?
"Didn't you shoot alone?"
"I'm suppressed by him, I can't get up! Come up and pick me up!" Ribery lit the acceleration button hard, and Chu Zhongtian found that his speed was indeed not fast, and the full-back kept pulling and pulling Riberyla.
Chu Zhongtian then pressed his acceleration button hard to control the "Chu Zhongtian" in the game to advance from the middle lane.
All this is so similar to the scene in today's game!
But in the real-life game, Ribery couldn't turn around and shout at himself: "Come on, man!"
Looking at the situation in front of him, Abidal was following Ribery closely, pressing him to prevent him from accelerating easily, while in the middle were two central defenders, Essin and Chris, who were retreating.
What are you still hesitating about? Didn’t we practiced all yesterday?
Chu Zhongtian rushed up. He played for a while than Ribery, but Ribery's speed never increased, and he still had hope of catching up. By the way, he always thought that Ribery set his speed and acceleration too low in the game... Well, Frank, I hope you can modify my speed value next time we play together!
Chu Zhongtian crossed Diyala and rushed into the penalty area ahead along the straight line.
There is also Mes' forward Elf Toum, who is currently the only forward who Mes still stays on the court. Fernandez had replaced the starting forward Sebastian Reynold with midfielder Christopher Avizak. It is very interesting to be able to run up at this time, but it is unrealistic to expect him to compete with two powerful players, Essin and Chris.
Chu Zhongtian must go up to support him.
Last night, Chu Zhongtian ran up desperately, but Ribery snatched the opponent's press and shot directly at the small angle. As a result, the football shot on the side net, making Chu Zhongtian unlucky - if you want to hit the door yourself, why would you ask me to go up and do it?
So what choice will that kid Ribery make in the real-life competition today?
You better not let me go for a waste, Frank!
※※※ "Ohhh! This is Met's counterattack! With four minutes left in the game, Metz launched an attack, and Frank Ribery was dribbled! Abidal was defending him, and his defense was very tight. It seemed that Ribery had no better chance. He could only dribble along the sideline, but he could not cut inside!"
Ribery ran forward while driving the ball forward, while constantly looking up to observe the situation in the middle. The first time he looked up, he didn't see any of his own, so he continued to lower his head and lead forward. The second time he looked up, he saw Elf Toum, but... he was caught between Chris and Essin, and he could hardly find it. If his pass was definitely cut off at this time. This is Metz's opportunity to counterattack, how could he be wasted so easily?
So he lowered his head and continued to dribble the ball, and at the same time he found a way to deceive Abidal to seek a direct breakthrough.
But... Looking at the bottom line getting closer, Ribery hesitated, stopped suddenly or forced a cross?
When he looked up for the third time, Toum was still in the gap between Essin and Chris. He might sprint forward. But it is hard to say whether he can get rid of Chris.
Just when Ribery was a little disappointed, a red figure suddenly appeared from the corner of his eyes!
He couldn't see who it was, and he didn't have time to see it. But he knew that another teammate came up to support him.
Next is your own business - pass the ball or continue to seek breakthroughs?
※※※Diala saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerate and rushed forward, and was stunned for a moment and turned around to chase after him. However, his speed was not fast at all, and he was thrown away by Chu Zhongtian after a few steps.
He knew that Chu Zhongtian was going to pick up Ribery, but he couldn't catch up with him, so he could only hope that Essin would deal with him.
But he has confidence in his Ghanaian teammate.
In fact, Essin followed Toum at first, but later he caught a glimpse of Chu Zhongtian who was sprinting towards the penalty area and changed his target to hand over Toum to his teammate Chris, he slowed down and waited for Chu Zhongtian in front of the penalty area.
Chu Zhongtian, who was competing with Ribery, also saw Essin in front. This guy who had successfully defended Ribery before, was the first time they fought head-on.
Chu Zhongtian did not accelerate or change direction, but followed the previous route toward the penalty area.
At this moment, he saw Ribery on the side suddenly forcibly overtaking!
※※※Abidal did not expect that Ribery had to dribble the ball and forcefully overtake the car when he was less than five meters away from the bottom line!
He didn't keep up for a while, so Ribery took the lead. Despite this, he was confident that he would not let Ribery break into the penalty area from his own. As long as he didn't stretch his feet, he could force the opponent out of the baseline, destroy the opponent's offense and not give the opponent a corner kick. This is the perfect defense!
After Ribery dribbled the ball out, he accelerated again, and it seemed that he was going to force overtake from the outsider. But just as the football was about to roll to the bottom line, Ribery suddenly made a cross!
This kick was completely beyond Abidal's expectations, and he didn't even stretch out his foot to stop it. He let the football pass by him and flew high towards the front of the door!
Toum did get forward when Ribery made a cross, while Chris ran forward with him.
But Ribery's pass was very high, obviously not something that could be reached at the front point.
So who is it for?
Lyon's goalkeeper Kupe looked up at the football. At first he was guarding the front point. When he found that the football flew straight to the back point, he did not move over immediately, but hesitated for a moment.
He knew there was Essin at the back.
Essin is now entangled with Chu Zhongtian. As soon as Chu Zhongtian entered the penalty area, Essinla was on the way. Chu Zhongtian did not fall in the penalty area. The referee would not pay any attention to such a fall. He did not stop and raised his hand to signal the referee. He just continued to rush forward as if no one was around, and the target pointed directly at the back of the goal!
Essin followed him, pulling his hands constantly.
Chu Zhongtian saw Ribery's cross, but he did not do anything immediately, but continued to run in. When he ran to the small penalty area line, he jumped out and rushed forward!
This is not a header with a high jump, it is a very low fish jump to the top!
Essin also jumped, but he did not leap with Chu Zhongtian, but jumped high, trying to push the falling football out. Unfortunately, he didn't!
Chu Zhongtian's judgment of the ball's landing point was very accurate. The football fell down against Essing's scalp, just on his rushing track... "Surprise! Essing's head!" The French commentator screamed. Essing's heading was so surprised that Essing's heading was so surprising.
The ball arrives, the head arrives!
"Fish leaps to the top!" He Ping clenched his fists, his heart beating very quickly. At this moment, he was eagerly looking forward to something happening in the next second... But what exactly is going to happen?
Kupei jumped over and said it was too late!
After the football was hit by Chu Zhong's sky, it changed direction and flew directly into the goal!
※※※"The ball has entered!!" He Ping yelled.
To be continued...
