Ribery stood on the court and looked up at the stands. Chu Zhongtian next to him touched him: "Are all your relatives here?"

Ribery nodded: "They called me, but I couldn't find them in the stands..."

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "If you can find it, it's strange, there are so many people." He also looked up at the stands. In fact, he also wanted to find Boss John and the others in the stands, but he only found a few of the 52,000 people, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now they are standing on the turf of Hampton Park Stadium again, and the game is about to begin.

Captain Promón was guessing the coin and picking the side of the other party.

When he first appeared, Chu Zhongtian was still a little excited, and now his mood has calmed down a lot.

Putting aside the meaning of off-court, this game is actually no different from any football game. Both sides have eleven people, and the game time is 90 minutes. No other players except the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball with their hands. They must score the football into the opponent's goal before they can be considered a score... They must strive to pursue victory.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian's psychological fluctuations are not very big.

Proman ran back and said to his gathered teammates: "They kicked off."

Then he anxious everyone: "Guys, why did we work hard for a season? Why did we give up the league? Do a big game! Let them know how good we are!"

"oh!"

Everyone agreed.

The pre-match preparations were over, and everyone returned to their respective positions, waiting for the game to begin.

※※※ Chu Zuosheng sat in front of the TV and drank a big sip of strong tea. His wife had just washed her face from the toilet. She was still a little sleepy and sat listlessly next to her husband, and then yawned a big yawn.

"Who is calling you to watch Korean dramas for so long?" Chu Zuosheng said when he saw his wife doing this.

Zhou Xiaoxiang ignored him and got up to make coffee for herself. She couldn't stand the strong tea she had with her husband. Two-thirds of the cup of water were tea leaves, which made her feel bitter. It was still more comfortable to drink coffee.

After making coffee, she saw her son.

"Chu Zhongtian started in this game, and it seems that his injury has no effect." The commentator of Sichuan TV is introducing Chu Zhongtian's situation to the audience. "Before the game, his left leg muscle strain once made people suspect that he could not participate in the finals. Now he stands here to indicate that his injury has healed. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief..."

Yes, Zhou Xiaoxiang looked at her son and breathed a light sigh.

Like him, there were many Chinese fans and audiences waiting in front of the TV, and they also breathed a sigh of relief - Chu Zhongtian appeared, and this game was interesting to them.

In fact, when Metz's team gathered together to form a circle to make the final pre-match mobilization, Sevilla's players were already standing in their respective positions. They didn't need to do such things, and this is not the first time they have participated in the League Cup final.

When Metz's players returned to their positions, the referee looked down at the watch. Then he waved his hand and blew the whistle in his mouth.

※※※"The game has begun!" The voice of the informant came from the TV. "Friends, the 2006-2007 UEFA Cup final has finally begun. This game has attracted a lot of attention because of the participation of Chinese player Chu Zhongtian... Metz is a group of big dark horses in the League Cup this season. He has beaten Leverkusen, Benfica, Tottenham Hotspur and Espanyol, and finally reached the final. Their opponent is the defending champion Sevilla..."

Chu Zuosheng didn't listen to anything about the commentator.

He stared at his son on the TV screen, trying to see from his running posture whether his injuries had actually recovered.

Judging from the first minute of the game, he didn't notice anything was wrong.

Maybe it's really okay?

※※※The players in the middle of the midfield in this game are Chu Zhongtian and Promón. The latter of the two focus more on defense, but Chu Zhongtian also needs to participate in defense, such as when the opponent attacks.

Sevilla took advantage of the opportunity to kick off the ball and launched an offensive. They passed the football to the wing. Just as Chu Zhongtian saw in the video, Sevilla is a team that is very good at attacking the wing. According to the requirements of head coach Fernandez, if the opponent plays on the wing, then one of the two midfielders, Chu Zhongtian and Proman, must have to support the wing. They attack Metz's right side, Proman went to assist in defense. If they attacked the left side, Chu Zhongtian would go up to support the defense.

Now Sevilla passes the ball to their left forward Adriano, so naturally Promenade goes up to assist in the defense.

Adriano did not rush to drive the ball forward, but was waiting. Soon, the person he was waiting for came up - Sevilla's left defender Puelta inserted at high speed from behind.

Proman and Ribery, who assisted in the defense, both knew that Sevilla was good at attacking the wing and their attacking on the wing was very sharp. So when he saw Puerta penetrated from behind Adriano, Proman put down Adriano and went to chase Puerta. Now there is only Ribery who is not good at defense in front of Adriano.

Adriano had no intention of passing the football to Puerta. Facing Ribery, he suddenly knocked the football into the middle, and then started to shake off Ribery who was caught off guard.

Sevilla's wing tactics have a tradition, and Puerta doesn't think that Adriano must pass the ball to him after he plugs in. This is just a running that involves the opponent's defensive attention. Seeing Proman being attracted by him, the task has been completed, and the completion is pretty good.

Adriano, who passed Ribery, did not continue to cut inside and broke through, but passed the football to Paulson, who was picking up him in the middle.

Seeing that the football was transferred to the middle, Proman no longer followed Puerta, but returned to the middle and prepared to defend the middle.

Paulson observed it for a while before passing the ball to Daniel Alves, who had already pressed up.

Navas was waiting for the ball near the front sideline, and Metz's left back Signorino was near him to prevent him from receiving the ball and breaking through. Now the team's left forward Felicio is the team's top defender.

Chu Zhongtian pressed on the ribs, so that he could quickly support the side road and return to the middle road in time, so that he would not be fooled by his opponent.

Daniel Alves is a full-back with strong assist ability. Facing Felicio, he did not give up his intention to break forward. He passed the football forward to Navas, and continued to want to go forward without caring about the gap behind him.

Navas controlled the football and waited for Alves to plug in.

Seeing Alves moving forward at high speed, Chu Zhongtian, who was originally on the ribs, also started running towards the side, with his goal being to cooperate with Alves. He knew what the opponent would play, and he was almost vomiting when he saw the video of Sevilla's game.

Felicio was still running with Alves, but his speed was not as fast as the other party and was soon left behind.

Seeing his teammates throwing the opponent away, Navas passed the football over.

Daniel Alves looked back and prepared to let the football pass so that he could not slow down and break through the opponent's defense line.

Just as he brought the football over, his feet also arrived.

Chu Zhongtian seized the opportunity and shoveled the ball that Alves had brought over from the sideline, while Alves jumped up in a conditioned reflex and barely avoided the flying shovel.

"Wow, Chu made a very critical tackle as soon as he came up! If there is a slight deviation, if the opponent misses this tackle, the one in front of Alves will be Metz's penalty area!" The commentator praised Chu Zhongtian's tackle for being very accurate.

"From his sprint tackle this time, there is no problem with his thighs. A healthy Chu is difficult to deal with, Sevilla must be careful!"

Fullback Signolino expressed his gratitude to Chu Zhongtian. After being pulled out by Navas, he knew very well that this was empty, but he had no choice but to rely on his teammates to make up for such a gap. Chu, as his teammate, has never disappointed him.

Sevilla was not disappointed by the failure of this offense. Head coach Juander Ramos, who was on the sidelines, even nodded.

※※The next is Metz's counterattack.

Anyone who is familiar with Metz will know that they rarely kick forward when they kick off the ball, because that cannot guarantee that the ball possession rate is still on their side. Therefore, their goalkeeper Wenbi will pass directly to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian will organize the football through a series of passes and runs to the front.

Messe has studied Sevilla, and Sevilla has also studied Messe.

So when Chu Zhongtian just ran back and was about to ask for the ball, he found that there was an extra player behind him, Danish midfielder Paulson.

A back midfielder pushed to this position, which made Chu Zhongtian pay more attention to him.

By watching the game video and checking the information, he still has some understanding of Paulson. This midfielder is good at attacking and defending, has a tough style, and is quite a bit like the "desperate" style of AC Milan Gattuso. He is a defensive player who is difficult to deal with.

Out of a cautious attitude, Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to Wenbi, indicating that he would not pass the football to himself, but to others.

So Winby passed the football to full-back Ibrahim Kabo and Chu Zhongtian ran to Kabo again. He saw that Paulson was still following him. So he continued to gesture to Kabo, telling him not to pass the ball to him, but to let him pass it directly.

"Passed to Jeremy!" he shouted at Cabo.

Kabo's big feet passed a long pass and kicked forward.

Sevilla played 442, focusing on two wings and not setting up front midfielders, so the midfielder was placed with two central midfielders, or two midfielders. Paulson was led out by him, and Sevilla's midfield defense would naturally become weak, with only one Marty.

After Menez received the ball, Marti pushed him up.

He was not in a hurry to turn around because he saw that Chu Zhongtian had already run up. Of course, Paulson, with long golden hair, was also next to him.

He saw Chu Zhongtian hooking at him and signaling to pass the ball.

Menez passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian.

Seeing the football rolling towards Chu Zhongtian, Paulson suddenly accelerated to overtake, intending to grab it in advance and break the football.

Instead of going forward to fight Paulson, Chu Zhongtian braked suddenly and twisted his body to block Paulson. At the same time, he let the football roll past him, then turned around and ran back, and received the football.

Paulson was shaken by him. When he wanted to come up and grab the ball, Chu Zhongtian had already passed the football out.

But Paulson did not give up. He continued to keep a certain distance from Chu Zhongtian, neither getting too close nor letting him disappear from his control.

Chu Zhongtian knew that the person who was responsible for the targeting of him in this game was Paulson.

Mez's attack did not pass through the Chu Zhongtian organization in the end, but was handed over to Menez. After Felicio passed the football to Ibisevic, Ibisevic shot higher with the opponent's central defender Navarro.

※※※ After that, Sevilla organized several attacks, all of which were mainly attacking Metz's left side, which was their own right side. Then Sevilla players determined something - the area where Chu Zhongtian was responsible for assisting defense was this side road.

After that, they began to really focus on this sidewalk corridor.

Alves is the best offensive right-back in La Liga, comparable to Real Madrid's Ramos, who was also trained by Sevilla.

Not to mention Navas, the best right-hand van in La Liga, with outstanding speed, delicate technology and superb dribbling technology, which makes people unpredictable.

Their right-hand attack combination made the opponent suffer in La Liga and League Cup. Alves' style has an indomitable aura, which is very shocking with his hideous expression and appearance. Navas' style is like Peter Pan, light and elegant, you can never catch him, you can only watch him around you, like a flower and a butterfly, but you can't catch him.

The two people have different styles but cooperate well, which is the offensive combination that Sevilla relies most on.

When Alves rushed up again to attract the defensive attention of Chu Zhongtian and others, Navas did not pass the ball, but chose to break through by himself. He gently knocked the football out, and then broke through Signolino with his agile figure and extremely fast speed. When facing Felicio's backup defense, he used his speed to sweep the football away and continued to score the ball.

Felicio originally wanted to pull his jersey and use a foul to stop him, but he failed. The flexible Navas did not give his opponent a chance to pull his jersey. It was like a loach, which penetrated Metz's defense line and rushed straight to the bottom line!

"This is a good opportunity for Sevilla!"

Navas, who had broken through, made a cross, and the football drew an arc in the air and flew towards Metz's goal.

Sami Traore and Rodriguez both jumped high, trying to stop Sevilla's shot.

But the football was still led by Canute, and the football changed direction and flew towards the goal, and in the end it was just slightly higher.

It shocked Metz players and fans in a cold sweat.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian went to the side road because he was repairing the defense, so he was not involved in the competition in front of the door.

Although the football failed to enter, Chu Zhongtian felt a little nervous - if this continued, our goal would be broken by the opponent sooner or later.

In terms of speed alone, he cannot catch up with Navas. So to prevent Navas, he must find another way. One-on-one defense is absolutely impossible to defend against Navas. There are several ways to break his ball. The first is to rely on the advantage of numbers to double-team him. If one cannot defend, two will be added, and only three will be dangerous. Another method is to seize the opportunity to make accurate tackles.
