"Chu passed the ball to Menez and ran forward...Menez passed the ball over, two by one! Do you still need to continue to cooperate... I missed! Chur passed the football! Who is next... Frank Ribery broke into the penalty area! This is a one-on-one! He shot... Gregori Kupe! He saved the ball! Beautiful! Wonderful offense and defense!"

The commentator and the fans were very excited, but the players on the court did not think so - the Metz player was very regretful, while the Lyon player was still in shock.

Ribery, who was saved, held his head with his hands in his head, looked very regretful. Chu Zhongtian did not expect that such a wonderful shot would be saved. He raised his arms at the beginning and was about to cheer, but now he had to cross his hands behind his head, with a look of disappointment on his face very obvious.

He originally thought that this beautiful offensive cooperation would help Ribery score a goal so that the team could take the lead away, which was definitely an exciting goal. His teammates could completely put aside their distractions and win the game with all their might.

Regret is regret, disappointment is disappointment.

Ribery turned around and gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up to him, indicating that the ball was beautiful.

When he saw Chris go to Menez and Chu Zhongtian rush forward, he expected that Kakapa might also rush out to defeat Chu Zhongtian. On the one hand, Chu Zhongtian is indeed unguarded, and Kakapa, the central defender, needs Kakapa. On the other hand, because Chris has gone up, if Kakapa is still dragged behind, he will be successfully offside by Metz, so he must move forward in time.

Then you can use this by inserting it from the back.

The problem is that he cannot shout: "Give me the ball!" That is equivalent to attracting the attention of everyone in Lyon - of course that may help Chu Zhongtian reduce the defensive pressure he faces, but Ribery is more willing to let himself complete the shot.

So he could only expect Menez to pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian's direction. At the same time, Chu Zhongtian also knew that he was running without notifying him and leaking the football... This requirement is really high.

Ribery didn't know if Chu Zhongtian could do it, he could only try it once. Anyway, no matter whether Chu Zhongtian missed the ball or not, he would complete that run. Even if he could really attract the attention of the opponent's defender, he could have completed the task.

Unexpectedly, when he crossed the line between offside and non-offside in Lyon's defense, he saw Chu Zhongtian really let the football over!

Ribery thanked Chu Zhongtian for this miss.

But he still had to ask Chu Zhongtian why he gave the ball to him.

"Intuition and tacit understanding." He liked Chu Zhongtian's answer very much.

The team received a corner kick, and Promón, the best set-piece master in the team, naturally had to take the penalty. Chu Zhongtian could only run back and stay near the center circle to prepare for defense.

He did not blame Ribery for wasting an excellent opportunity, but he still felt very sorry when he looked at the players of both Lyon and Metz who were preparing for a corner kick. If the ball was entered, his teammates would believe that beating Lyon with Metz's strength was not a fantasy!

Chu Zhongtian shook his head gently.

※※Mes' corner kick this time did not pose any threat to Lyon's goal. Captain Bobby Coni jumped high, but raised the ball. The football flew high above the crossbar. Cooper just waved his hand and didn't even jump.

When everyone was running back, Menez was facing Chu Zhongtian. He showed an inquiring expression to Chu Zhongtian, which meant: "Who will organize this game?"

Chu Zhongtian pointed at himself: "It's me for the time being."

Menez nodded.

I have been with Chu Zhongtian for almost a season, and he didn't listen much to other people in the team, and even Ribery was not a blazing person. But he just listened to whatever Chu Zhongtian said, and there were few objections. When Fernandez asked Chu Zhongtian to help Menez integrate into the team, I wonder if he foreseeed that one day the relationship between Menez and Chu Zhongtian would develop to this point?

In fact, it was not just Chu Zhongtian who helped Menez integrate into the team. The more he saw Chu Zhongtian's performance in training and games, the more Menez admired this guy who claimed to be "not a genius".

His skills are not as good as his own, but his consciousness is far better than him. Just like when he missed Ribery just now, he was completely facing himself before and didn't look behind him at all. How did he know that Ribery behind him was telling him to plug in?

Logically speaking, a super strong football consciousness should be accumulated through continuous competitions - people generally call this "experience". But Chu Zhongtian's football consciousness seems to be born and a talent.

Although Coach Tadio had told him before that when Chu Zhongtian first came to play football, he never looked up and observed the situation, so he always yelled at Chu Zhongtian on the sidelines: "Look up! Observe! Chu!"

But Menez now believes that even if Chu Zhongtian never looks up, he knows everything about every corner of the court. Just like when he missed the ball to Ribery just now. This is amazing, right? He asked Chu Zhongtian how he did it, and Chu Zhongtian's answer was: "Intuition."

Menez prefers to believe that it is talent, talent, and an indescribable feeling. It is just like he can always keep football firmly under his feet.

Chu Zhongtian took over the command of the team in this way.

He was still upset that the goal was not scored just now. He needed his teammates to work together with him to fight Lyon to the end. Although he said that even if there was only one person, he would do this, but it would not work to win by himself.

When Chu Zhongtian was upset, the live TV broadcast gave him a close-up shot.

"It's hard to imagine that the most threatening attack in this game was not from the home team Lyon, but from the visiting team Mess. And it was still their No. 8 Chu who instigated all this! This Chinese midfielder always had an amazing inspiration. His miss just now was the most outstanding part of this offense. God knows how he knew that there was a Ribery behind him? You have to know that he has never looked back..."

The commentator praised Chu Zhongtian, but he didn't know Chu Zhongtian's worries at all.

This time the offense did not score, but his true identity was revealed. His defense would definitely be tightened. Diarra was not present and Clement (jeremy_clement) was not present, which does not mean that Thiago would not cause trouble for him.

In addition, this attack will definitely arouse Lyon's crazy revenge. After being in the midst of two seasons, he already knows very well what kind of domineering Lyon's team, as the overlord of Ligue 1. Although they are not yet awesome in the European arena, they are the well-deserved kings in the Ligue 1 acre of three-point fields. If this king suddenly starts to be angry, can Metz resist it?

The scores of 1:4 and 0:4 are like a mountain pressing on the hearts of Metz players, making them afraid more than three weeks before the game begins.

No matter what, let’s talk about this wave of offensive first... Chu Zhongtian soon discovered that his teammates were a little different. Lyon did launch a fierce offensive later, but he was almost nothing in the defense, and everyone was fighting desperately. He could feel the fighting spirit exuded by everyone. It’s so strange, where did this strong momentum come from?

He hadn't figured it out yet. Although Ribery's shot did not result in a goal, the team's previous wonderful cooperation had already brought a lot of confidence to his teammates who were doubtful about defeating Lyon. Whether to score or not is only a tiny slight slight, which was a part of luck. However, the attack brought by Chu Zhongtian and the Lyons did not have the chance to steal, which was the most important thing. Metz's players understand the ball, and they could see what this attack meant - Lyon is not a solid piece of iron, and we are not weak either!

※※※Mes, whose morale returned to normal, began a tug-of-war with Lyon.

A goal from Metz almost scored, which made the overlord Lyon feel deeply disgraceful. They launched a fierce attack on Metz's goal, hoping to cover up the shame with a few goals.

They didn't get what they wanted. After completing the mission of Lyon's attack at the beginning of the game, Metz retracted and fought a defensive counterattack, not giving Lyon any chance.

Fernandez's tactical goal was almost achieved, if Ribery's shot was a little tricky. Now they can only deal with Lyon with a 0:0 score instead of leading with one goal.

Later, Lyon simply played against Metz at halftime, and amid the cheers of home fans, their offensives were also higher and higher.

Chu Zhongtian followed Juninho firmly and liberated Proman to deal with others. Ben Alpha was also very active.

Chu Zhongtian is now more mature than he was a season ago and will no longer give Juninho a chance to take a free kick. After twenty minutes of the game, Lyon only won three frontcourt free kicks, with the best position 32 meters away from the goal, in the center. Juninho's football kicked higher than the crossbar.

To be honest, when Chu Zhongtian saw the football finally rise above the crossbar, his confidence in winning Lyon was one point higher.

However, if you want to win, you must first solve a problem.

"We can't always defend so passively!" Promón said to Chu Zhongtian while taking advantage of the opportunity to die.

Chu Zhongtian agreed with this: "I know that we are defensively counterattacking, now we only have defense, no counterattacking."

"So, think of a way, Chu!" Vice captain Promón habitually relied on Chu Zhongtian on the court.

In fact, during this period, Chu Zhongtian was not only defending. He had been taking time to observe Lyon, hoping to find something that could be used by him.

For example, when Lyon was siegeing wildly, did there be any weaknesses in the defense line?

He really discovered something.

After Ibisekic retreated to assist in the defense, Lyon's two central defenders had problems with their position. They were too forward and lacked echoes with full-backs in the game. Kakapa and Chris were both Brazilian central defenders, and Brazilian defenders had a habit, which was hard to say whether it was good or bad-the two central defenders had dribbled the ball several times.

Perhaps it was because I was enjoying watching the siege of the frontcourt players, and I was a little itchy.

But after they took turns to insert, there was actually only one central defender left behind, and Lyon's two full-backs were also very concerned about the offense. If Metz could launch a quick counterattack and accurately send the ball to Ribery or Menetz's feet in front, then Lyon would definitely not focus on his offense and defense conversion, and this is the opportunity that Metz could take advantage of.

The difficulty lies in whether I have the opportunity to pass the football out in Lyon's fierce offensive wave after wave of constant storm, and whether I can pass the football accurately. Another difficulty is whether Ribery and Menez, who are running in front, can run to the right position so that they can pass the football over.

At this time, we have to look at the results of our daily training and the tacit understanding between them.

Thiago's defensive ability is not as good as Mahamadu Diyala, which is a relatively favorable condition for Chu Zhongtian.

If it was Diyala or Essin, Chu Zhongtian could not guarantee whether the final pass could be accurately delivered to the place where it should go.

If the long pass accuracy is not enough, an offensive opportunity will be wasted. For the defensive side, such an offensive opportunity is far less than that for Chu Zhongtian can squander at will.

Therefore, be cautious every attack.

Chu Zhongtian considered the problem from the most difficult perspective, but he could not tell his teammates about these sufferings. At this time, what his teammates needed was confidence. So he nodded to Promum: "Okay, no problem. Leave it to me."

Promang was very happy that Chu Zhongtian could say this. He patted Chu Zhongtian on the arm with force: "If you want to do it, then do it! I will protect you!"

Chu Zhongtian gave him a thumbs up.

※※※ In the 27th minute of the first half, Lyon besieged Metz for fifteen minutes, but still did not score. In these fifteen minutes, Metz only had three counterattacks, and did not threaten Lyon's goal at all. Most of the time, football was around Metz's halftime, and Lyon went from the side and the middle, in the air and underground, trying every means to break through Metz's goal. But luck was always a little bit short.

During this period, Lyon created four threatening attack opportunities in a row. Once, he was turned away by the crossbar, once he was saved by goalkeeper Winby incredibly, and the other two were paddled out.

"Mes looks like he was beaten by Lyon and completely lost his ability to fight back. For them, it is already very fortunate that they can maintain this 0:0 score and go to the locker room at the halftime break!"

"Looking at the current situation, I was wondering how good it would be if Metz had scored the goal just now..."

Three more minutes passed. Something happened in the last half of these three minutes.

Chu Zhongtian cleared the ball that Bobby Connie had cut off and the ball fell to the feet of Lyon central defender Chris near the central circle. After the Brazilian stopped the ball with his chest, there was no one Metz player in a radius of ten meters. He originally planned to pass the ball quickly if someone forced him up. Now he saw that there was not even an opponent's player. It would be better to drive the ball forward and maybe he could score a goal!

Thinking of this, Chris walked the football forward.

When Chu Zhongtian saw Chris wade the ball, he knew what the Brazilian was going to do - he hadn't done such a similar thing in previous games?

He gestured to Proman and signaled him to come forward to steal and drag him back to protect him.

Proman understood what he was going to do, nodded and went up to meet him.

When Chris passed by Menez, Menez just made a defensive move and did not really defend. He knew that he was not a defensive material, so he simply did not work hard. The easy breakthrough of Menez made Chris more confident to dribble the ball and hit the yellow dragon. So when he saw Proman rushing up, he did not choose to pass the football, but planned to use his skills to drift past the opponent.

He took a step to the right and prepared to use the opponent's slow turn to complete the breakthrough.

But when he successfully crossed the Promont, he realized that the ball he had strayed out no longer belonged to him, but fell to the feet of Metz No. 8!

The moment he saw Chu Zhongtian waving the football past him, Chris was shocked. He knew it was awful!

The commander Messe got the ball, but he was not in the defensive position, so... "Oh! Messe intercepted the ball successfully! Chris lost his position!" The commentator couldn't help but scream.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian get the ball, Ribery suddenly accelerated along the side road, and Menez was also rushing through the middle road.

On the left, there was also Oblaniak who had a slightly slow reaction. The three men were like three arrows that were shooting at Lyon's half.

According to FIFA rules, when both players are in the half, there is no offside. Kakapa crossed the center line, and in the center circle, it is about two meters away from the center line. Ribery is running towards the opponent's half, and he is the closest player to the center line.

It was impossible to observe which of the three directions is more suitable for passing the ball in an instant. If that happens, when he passes the ball out, the three of them will probably be offside. After Chu Zhongtian swept the ball away, he did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly kicked the ball forward with force.

Just as he made a football shot, Ribery's front foot, who was accelerating and sprinting, just stepped on the center line, behind Kakapa!

Seeing Chu Zhongtian pass the ball, Kakapa immediately turned around and chased after him, but stood there and raised his hand to signal Ribery to offside. His aftermath obviously saw Ribery behind him.

"Idiot!" Seeing his move, Chris, who was desperately chasing him, couldn't help but curse his compatriots in his heart. He could see clearly that Ribery was still in this half... Where could such a ball be offside?
To be continued...
