Head coach Fernandez also noticed Ibisevic's condition, so after breakfast, he asked the players who had not had a good rest because of excitement, nervousness or other reasons to go back to bed. The players who had good rest were arranged to go to the hotel gym for simple strength training.

At noon, the sleeping person was woken up to have a meal.

The kickoff time of this game is 19:45, and you can't eat supper, because the team will go to the stadium at dinner time, so this lunch is very important, not only to eat enough but also to eat well.

While Chu Zhongtian was having lunch, Emily also got up from the bed, sat on the bed, stretched her waist. Looking at the bright sunshine and the blue sky outside, she smiled with satisfaction.

Today is April 29, match day. And she is in Paris.

She didn't know whether the matter about her in the United States had started to quarrel in the media. She didn't care at all whether her pure and lovely image would be destroyed because of her run away from home. Anyway, she threw all her worries to her mother, and she just had to play with her as much as she could.

After washing up, she turned on the TV, changed several stations, and saw the scene of Metz's game. It turned out to be a pre-match analysis, and experts were analyzing the upcoming French Cup final for the audience on TV.

She saw Chu Zhongtian on the TV, and to be honest, this was the first time she saw Chu Zhongtian wearing a red jersey to play. After Chu Zhongtian came to Mets, she had never seen a single game with him.

The amateur player I remember is now performing easily in the professional arena.

Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot hanging door 35 meters away is being played repeatedly on the TV. Paris Saint-Germain is the background.

"This is the last stage of last season. In the penultimate round of the league, in the key relegation battle of Metz, Metz must win to ensure relegation. The game was very fierce and ups and downs. Until the last moment of the game, Chu Zhongtian suddenly took a long shot at a distance 35 meters away from the fans, and the football slapped over the goalkeeper's head and flew into the goal."

Emily whistled and applauded this wonderful goal.

"This is the beginning of the feud between the two sides. Paris Saint-Germain lost this game and did not qualify for European competitions last season. This is a blow to the club's finances and also caused a division within the team. Their main midfielder Rorik Canna ran away from the Marseille in the summer because of the conflict with head coach Fornier. The first round of the new season began, Paris Saint-Germain, who wanted to avenge, gave Metz a warning, and they beat Metz 4:1 at their home court. I believe this game is also an unforgettable game for Metz."

"The key figure of Metz in this game - Chu."

The TV screen freezes Chu Zhongtian's figure for a few seconds.

"He is the core of Metz's organization and the midfield commander. It's not too much to say that he is Metz's brain. He is responsible for connecting the entire team. With him, Metz can operate normally. Once he misses the game, Metz's performance is always not that good. Chu missed two games this season due to the cumulative red cards and yellow cards. Metz missed two games in these two games. Metz did not win in these two games. Not only that, it was not very good in the scene. Therefore, as long as Paris Saint-Germain can freeze Metz's No. 8 in the final, it should not be a problem to win the game."

Emily didn't expect Chu to have such a high evaluation in the French media. Although she had always been full of confidence in Chu Zhongtian, she was still very happy to see the arrogant French people admire Chu Zhongtian so much.

Next, the experts began to introduce another dangerous person from Mays - Frank Ribery Emily, who was not familiar with this person and was not interested in continuing to listen. She jumped out of bed and started changing clothes, and then prepared to go out for lunch. After dinner, she would use the afternoon to stroll around the streets of Paris and relax herself. This was the first time she had been shopping so leisurely since she became famous.

※※While Emily was walking around the streets and alleys of Paris with her backpack and digital camera, Mathilde also got into a Belmont taxi.

"Welcome to ride," Belmont said to Mathilde, who was sitting in the back seat, "Please fasten your seat belt! Ha!"

Without reminding him, the first thing Mathilde did after getting on the car was to wear a seat belt.

After seeing Mathilde tied his seat belt, Belmont started the car. He was intoxicated by listening to the roar of the engine, and the smell of gasoline made him suck his nose several times.

"Listen to this sound, Miss. This is the most wonderful music in the world!"

"But the sound is different from ordinary car engines..." said Mathilde.

"I modified it, ha! What's the best of those soft engines? I'm so powerful!"

Belmont said as he also tied his seat belt and rubbed his hands.

"Now...let's go to Paris!"

The taxi rushed out, and Mathilde was pressed firmly against the backrest of the chair by inertia.

"Roar, Metz!" Belmont yelled in the roar of the engine, "Go forward, 'Crimson'!!"

※※From the morning, many passengers wearing crimson Metz jerseys and Metz scarfs have come to Paris's railway stations one after another. They are all Metz fans who go to the French Stadium to watch the game.

Those who come early will naturally seize the time to visit the famous attractions in Paris. When the time is almost done, they will start to head together to the French Stadium in the small town of Saint-Denis in the northern suburbs of Paris. Of course, during the tour of Paris, you will inevitably encounter some Paris Saint-Germain fans.

In general, before the war begins, everyone listens to peace. Even if they meet, the most intense confrontation will only be the time to shout a few slogans of their teams, and then they will laugh, put together their shoulders and take photos, and then part ways.

But don't think that fans will always be so friendly and cute. Once the game begins, the fans of both sides in the stands will definitely be incompatible. Such a warm scene is destined not to appear in the stands at the French Stadium.

Just as England's FA Cup finals will definitely be held at Wembley Stadium, the French Stadium, which was built for the 1998 World Cup in France, has been the venue for the finals of the French Cup since its completion date. But this is the first time that Metz fans cheered for their team on this stadium.

Although Metz has achieved brilliant results in history of not being relegated for 35 consecutive years, they have never won a first-tier league championship and only won three cup championships. They won the French Cup twice in 1984 and 1988, and won the French League Cup championship in 1996.

These are the championships that were won before the completion of the Grand Stadium in France. This team is a very ordinary team and has no experience to show off.

Today may be their most proudest day.

That's why the fans are so enthusiastic. Almost all Metz fans in Metz City arrived in Paris on this day, and some people who were not originally fans were also in a sense of pride in their hometowns and bought tickets to watch the ball.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, these people began to rush to Saint Denis from all directions.

It's like a crowd of pilgrimage.

※※※ "The last tactical class. I won't say anything again when I arrive at the stadium later, because you probably won't listen at that time. So now you all have to listen carefully." Jean Fernandez said to the players sitting down in the rented conference room.

"There are several key figures that we need to pay special attention to," Fernandez pointed to the TV screen and said to the players. "The first one is Pauleta. This experienced Portuguese shooter is a very comprehensive striker. He is in good shape recently. Our defenders must remember that they can't give him too much space and opportunities in the penalty area and have to defend closely. However, he is not fast and his physical condition is average. If he can, he will be much less threatened."

"The second person is Rothen (jerome_rothen). His crossing is very accurate and extremely threatening. Therefore, don't give him too many opportunities to cross on the flank. Also, pay attention to his breakthroughs. His speed is very fast. His problem is that he is weak and has average confrontational ability. He must oppress him and make physical contact with him when defending him."

"The next thing is this person. Kalou (bonaventure_kalou). I want to remind everyone one thing: when he was still at Ausserl last season, he represented Ausserl in the French Cup final, and his beautiful goal in the 90th minute of the final helped Ausserl defeat Sedan 2:1. Therefore, he is a person with experience in playing the finals, and he also had the experience of scoring the winning goal in the finals to complete the finals. These things can give him confidence. So you must be careful of this person. He can play in the midfield and striker, with a relatively comprehensive, good skills and fast speed, can break through and pass, be careful."

Fernandez introduced all the PSG players he thought were threatening to the team. Every time he introduced a person, he pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the person, and told his players what they should pay attention to.

After introducing the opponent, Fernandez began to announce the starting list of this game, and many people were energetic - compared with their opponents, this is what they care about the most.

"Goalkeeper Wimbi, left-back Signorino, right-back Belia, and center-backs are Bobiconi and Meniri." This defensive lineup is the strongest defense line that Mes can currently produce. Signorino, Bobiconi and Meniri are both Mes' defense line combination last season. They cooperated tacitly. Belia was promoted from the reserve team this season. She has speed and has excellent defensive position. She is the captain of the reserve team. After the original Arigolo was squeezed to the bench by Belia, she had already transferred to a French Ligue 2 team during the winter break.

This defense line is also the one with the most partners in the league. Metz is not those big teams, so they have the capital to do some rotation.

"The back midfielder Proman and Chu, the left forward is Oblaniak, and the right is Ribery."

This midfield lineup is not surprising, because most of the season, Metz's midfielder was these four. Proman is a pure defensive midfielder. He is responsible for defense. Chu Zhongtian has both offense and defense. His main task is to organize the offense and control the rhythm. Ribery is Metz's No. 10, the number one star, and the undisputed main force. Oblaniac and Reynold are equally strong, and in fact, they can do anything to the table. However, Fernandez considers that the team has just played a warm-up match in Germany and Reynold is in average physical fitness and is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for 90 minutes of the game, so he plans to stay in the second half as a surprise.

It's time for the striker next.

Chu Zhongtian noticed that Ibisevich, who was sitting opposite him, was obviously nervous.

"The strikers are Menez and...Gayer."

When he heard his name, Gayer was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could start in such an important game... You should know that since the second half of the season, he has basically been inseparable from the starting main player, because the head coach introduced Ibisek, and this high center who can do balls for his teammates is obviously more popular with the head coach.

Ibisevic's expression was complicated. Chu Zhongtian looked over and didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved... In fact, Ibisevic is a very good man. He tried his best in the game, worked diligently, and was generous in passing and assisting his teammates. He spared no effort to run back to participate in the defense while defending. Everything was the priority of the team's interests. But as a striker, it was a fatal disadvantage to not be able to score a goal. Mr. Fernandez gave him half a season of opportunity. Could he finally be unable to help? He didn't plan to continue giving Ibi a chance in such an important game?

He felt sad for Ibisekic when he remembered his comfort to Ibisek in the morning.

The football field is a very realistic place... If you perform poorly, you will not have a foothold. I wonder what those media will say after knowing the starting list of this game?

Someone turned his sympathetic eyes to Ibisekic. Putting aside his performance on the court, Ibisekic outside the court is a very good person, and almost everyone in the team has been helped by him. This is a guy who can't resent even if he has always dominated the main position and does not score goals.

The head coach of Fernandez did not explain his starting lineup, but instead talked about the team's specific tactical requirements in the game. In general, the tactics of Metz in this game were no different from before. Fernandez did not fight a defensive counterattack in the game because it was an important cup final, although this was a tactic speculated by many media. He asked the team to insist on offense and attack under any circumstances. He was very confident in Metz's offensive strength because he had the "Three Musketeers of Metz".

No one among the players was surprised by this decision, because it was established that the tactical idea of ​​this game was after the semi-finals. The players had practiced many times in training. It was abnormal to be surprised at this time.

After the tactical meeting, players can move freely while stepping out of the hotel, or go back to their room to rest, watch TV, play a few dishes of billiards, table tennis, etc., or simply sit for a drink in the cafe for a while.

In fact, they might rather not have such a little free time to move around, and would rather rush to the French Stadium immediately.

For this team, the finals experience is very fresh. None of them has ever had the experience of playing in the finals, neither captain Bobby Coney nor the oldest goalkeeper Winby have participated in any finals.

The only person who has played football at the French Stadium is Ribery. Only Ribery has been selected for the French national team and is qualified to play football at the French Stadium. Although Metz has performed well this season, they are still considered civilian teams and grassroots teams. Compared with them, Paris Saint-Germain, which has not had a long history, can be regarded as a giant.

After the tactical meeting, everyone still gathered together to talk about the upcoming finals.

Chu Zhongtian did not participate. He and Ibisevic asked for two drinks and sat by the window, away from the noisy crowd.

"For the team, to me, this is a good thing," Ibisevic said easily.

"Do you really think so?" Chu Zhongtian asked staring at the Bohemian.

"I think it's time to calm down on the bench... Actually, I always feel that I shouldn't be the main player so early... Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 are different after all..." Ibisevic said to himself as if he hadn't heard Chu Zhongtian's problem. "I'm still a little unaccustomed to Ligue 1. Today is a good opportunity. I think it's helpful to me on the bench. Chu, I've been under a lot of pressure in the past half season..."

"Is anyone under great pressure?" Chu Zhongtian asked. "Football is a constant sport. I don't think it has anything to do with pressure, it's because you don't have much confidence. I know that you used to play football in the American college team, so why can't you do it here?"

Ibisevic looked at Chu Zhongtian: "American football and European football are two completely different worlds...there are a lot of differences in levels. Just like amateur football and professional football..."

"I used to play amateur football, and Frank used to do the same." Chu Zhongtian's answer left Ibisevic speechless. "In the Ninth Division of England, the level is not as good as that of American college football. The same thing, the key is that you don't have confidence and you don't have confidence in your own abilities."

Ibisevic looked at Chu Zhongtian and did not speak.

"You lack confidence when shooting, do you want to listen to a story?"

Ibisevich nodded.

"That's the thing I'm playing football in an amateur team... I didn't shoot before, and the shots were either high or biased. Later, before a game, I bet with someone that as long as I could score in the game, he would run naked. I never scored a goal before, but I scored a very beautiful long shot to help the team win the game, and also allowed the opponent to run naked successfully. Before the game, I asked my friend that he was the team's No. 2 shooter, scored a lot of goals, and had trained in Chelsea youth and youth teams. I asked him how he could shoot in the game. He told me a lot of the key points of shooting, but these key points were also mentioned in daily training, and there was nothing strange about him. Finally, he told me a little secret to his always successful shooting."

Speaking of this, Chu Zhongtian paused for a moment.

Ibisevich was so impressed that he saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly stopped talking, so he blurted out his question: "What is the secret book?"

"Every time I shoot, I will yell in my heart: 'This ball must be made!'" Chu Zhongtian said to Ibisevic, who was surprised. "This is the most useful trick that my friend taught me about shooting."
