During the intermission, Fernandez gave Rodriguez and Signorino one glove each.

This action made everyone unable to understand and felt it was strange - what was this to do?

The two parties involved didn't understand why the head coach did this.

Fernandez said to two unknown parties: "I'll give you a chance. During the fifteen minutes of halftime break, you throw gloves to fight each other. The winner will be decided, and this matter ends here. When you arrived on the court, you all forgot and devoted yourself to the game. How about it?"

Now, everyone knows what the head coach is doing.

Rodriguez and Signorino both lowered their heads under the stimulation of coach Fernandez. They also realized how embarrassing their performance on the court.

Fernandez pointed at the gloves in their hands: "What? You don't want to duel now?"

"I..." Signolino said, "...we don't need a duel, sir. We... well, we have no problem..."

Fernandez asked him: "Are you sure? Are you really sure there is nothing to solve between you?"

"I'm sure." Signolino nodded.

Fernandez went to see Mexican central defender Rodriguez again.

The Mexican nodded quickly: "I'm sure that the quarrel on the court is normal, sir. Frank and I both hope that the team will win, and things have passed..."

Fernandez took back the gloves of the two men and said, "I hope you really think so, because in the second half, you have no chance to make a duel. We have to fight Bayern Munich. We conceded the goal in the first half, but compared to conceding the goal, what I care more about is our performance in the first half."

He looked at Chu Zhongtian. "In the first half, our midfield was not running smoothly, and we were trapped in the quagmire of Bayern Munich in the midfield. Playing a tug-of-war with our opponents in the midfield? This is not what I want to see. We must change this situation in the second half and cannot stand stalemate with the opponent in the midfield. This is Bayern Munich's plan. If we tug-of-war with them in the midfield, then we will hit them." As an onlooker, Fernandez always sees the situation clearly. He explained the situation clearly to the players in the simplest language.

"So we have to speed up the pace in the second half. Chu, you have to reduce the time you take the ball under your feet, and when necessary, you have to reduce the number of times you get the ball. We don't have to organize the offense through you."

Chu Zhongtian did not express his objection. He thought about it and felt that this was the only way at present. As the core of Metz, he has a reputation and has been thoroughly studied by his opponents.

"We must pass the ball quickly and run faster. Both sides must be more active. Bayern Munich knows that the full-backs come up to assist, why can't we? Open the situation from the wing and force Bayern Munich's midfielder to strengthen the defense on the wing. This will reduce the pressure on Chu in the middle."

Fernandez wrote and painted on the tactical blackboard, telling every player about the changes in the team in the second half so that they could know what to do in the second half.

When he finished his speech, it was only three minutes before the second half.

"It seems that I've said a little too much, but I hope you all remember everything I said." Fernandez told the players. "We were behind in the overall score and lost the away goal advantage. If we want to advance, we need to do our best in the second half. I don't want to see the performance after losing the ball in the first half."

He said this and glanced at Rodriguez and Signolino, both of whom bowed their heads one after another.

"I know that after successfully winning the League Cup last season, many people have lost the motivation to pursue the championship. But why can't we defend the League Cup? No team has been able to do this since Real Madrid."

His words made many Metz players lit up - yes, why can't they defend their title? After winning the League Cup, Metz players once thought that their highest goal had been achieved and that they would do it in a routine way. This season, Ribery left, and it is understandable that the team was not very enthusiastic.

But now they have found their goal again - defending the League Cup champion!

Chu Zhongtian also clenched his fists.

※※※When Metz players appear, they are still excited about their new goals.

Taking advantage of the time when Bayern Munich players played, Proman gathered his teammates, and had no time to say something in the locker room. Now he wants to tell his teammates.

"I want to say that defending the League Cup is a great goal!" Proman shouted to his teammates. "I was excited when I thought we could be compared with teams like Real Madrid. Are you the same as me?"

"Yes!"

"You said it's a good idea to defend the title, Gregory!"

"I think we can do it. Now it's the quarterfinals. As long as we win Bayern Munich, we can enter the semi-finals. The semi-finals are close, is the final far?"

"The final is approaching, is the championship still far away? Ahha!"

The teammates responded enthusiastically to him.

"Very good, brothers! In fact, there is nothing scary about Bayern Munich. We tied with them at their home court, why are we not as good as them when we returned to our home court? This makes no sense! As long as we work hard and as long as we work together, brothers... we can definitely advance to the semi-finals!"

Proman shouted loudly.

"Semi-final!"

"Battle them!"

"I'm not afraid of Bayern Munich!"

"Find a way to score their goal!" Promón said this and looked at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian knew it was his turn.

He clapped his hands: "I think Mr. Fernandez's words are correct. We should reduce the time we take possession in the midfield, which will make it easier for Bayern Munich to defend - as long as they get stuck in our midfield, we can't get up."

Captain Promón used his passion to infect the team, while Chu Zhongtian calmly analyzed the situation.

"I hope everyone will run during the game. Frank and Ibrahim will also actively assist. Don't consider the defense. We must score goals as soon as possible. Don't pass each ball to me, and I will organize the attack... I will tell you my thoughts here - we can hand the football directly to the side, not through me, or we can just pass it to Ibi in front. In short, I am a decoration here, and the main purpose is to attract Bayern Munich's defensive attention. They stared at me very tightly, and I don't have any chance to pass the ball. But I believe they always have two or three people to defend me. There will definitely be empty defense in other places. I can't switch the ball from the past, but you can. They are not very concerned about your defense, which is something we can use. Send the football to someone who is more threatening than me."

After Chu Zhongtian finished speaking, everyone nodded.

"I have nothing to say, speak with my feet, guys. There are still forty-five minutes left, we have hope and the ability to defeat the arrogant Bundesliga giant!"

※※※After the second half of the game started, Bayern Munich players quickly discovered the changes in Metz, and they were different from the first half.

In the first half, Metz players would hand over the football to Chu Zhongtian after getting the ball, so that he could organize the offense or master the rhythm. In this way, Bayern Munich's defense would be very easy. They just need to keep a close eye on Chu Zhongtian and put pressure on him, and Metz's offense would be unable to be launched.

So they could suppress Metz at home for forty-five minutes and scored a goal.

But in the second half, Metz adjusted their tactics, and they ignored Chu Zhongtian's point, or Chu Zhongtian's role in Metz's entire team's tactical system suddenly became unimportant.

Metz began to emphasize the attack on the wing. They actually had two full-backs who were good at assisting, as well as two fast and good-skilled wing forwards. Why not make good use of them?

Metz, who has Chu Zhongtian, always plays the game very carefully. They frequently turn their feet and run positions, and play various amazing passes and cuts. In Ligue 1, the one who has been recognized as playing the best in the past two seasons is not the French Ligue 1 overlord Lyon, nor the Paris Saint-Germain, who has always adhered to the banner of artistic football, nor strong teams such as Marseille, Ausselle, Bordeaux, and Monaco... but Metz, who has risen like a dark horse in northern France.

This has something to do with their head coach, Fernandez is a head coach who insists on offensive football and likes to coach the team to play the kind of mercury-like attack.

However, such football is good-looking, but it is too cumbersome. Some critics believe that Metz's football is "rococo-style football". Rococo is a transliteration of the French rococo. This word originates from the French ro-caille (shell craft), which means that this style is characterized by rock and clam shell decoration. It is a gorgeous carving, delicate and cumbersome artistic style that combines the Baroque style with Chinese decorative fun, and uses multiple s-line combinations to combine.

Critics say that Metz football is a pun, which shows that Metz's football is like a Rococo-style art form, gorgeously crafted, delicate and cumbersome. Although it is pleasing to the eye, it is as fragile as Chinese porcelain. It can be seen from their successive encounters in the league. This team is not a team that can win under any circumstances.

Another meaning is from the origin of the Rococo artistic style, which shows that the current Metz football combines French football and Chinese elements - Roco, which combines Baroque style with Chinese decorative fun, while Metz football is the core of French football by a Chinese player.

After the new French President Sarkozy came to power, his series of brainless remarks and actions made the relationship between France and China suddenly become tense. The remarks of "Rococo" are a bit racist - our French football is so good, do we still need to make a player from a country like China who is behind football as the core?

Although the criticism is a bit sarcastic and even has obvious malicious intentions, there must be some correctness in the market for being able to have a bad review.

Most of Metz's goals do have to be passed through too many kicks. At first glance, it looks amazing, but after watching it for a long time, it will be aesthetically exhausted. And because the process is too cumbersome, it is easy for the opponent to find a way to crack it. Anyway, no matter how Metz's offense is played, it must pass through Chu Zhongtian's point, so if everyone sees Chu Zhongtian to death, Metz's offense will lose the threat.

It is precisely for this point that Fernandez made adjustments - don't you think that Messe's attack must pass through Chu Zhongtian, so watching Chu Zhongtian is equivalent to freezing Messe's attack? Very good, I just let Chu Zhongtian not play such a big role in the attack, and the people you spend a lot of effort to watch are just a decoration.

Although Chu Zhongtian didn't pass the ball directly and organize the attack, he could command the team with gestures and language on the court. After all, Bayern Munich players can see his body, but cannot freeze his thoughts.

"Pass the ball to Obetan!"

"Transfer directly to the front empty!"

"Transfer back to return! There is no chance in front!"

"Very good...Big feet are transferred, there is time to the right!"

"Pass it to me, use force! OK..." When the football was really passed by his teammates, Chu Zhongtian spread his legs and leaked the football.

The Bayern Munich players who came up to grab him were spared.

So everyone saw Chu Zhongtian waving his arms on the court and shouting loudly, not like a player, but like the head coach on the court.

※※※Mez's playing style made Bayern Munich unable to react for a moment, and Mez also seized such an opportunity.

Just eleven minutes into the second half, Metz launched an attack. Goalkeeper Winby drove the football into the frontcourt. Chu Zhongtian won the game while fighting for the header with Van Bomel. He rushed the football in front of Van Bomel and flew to Promenade.

He then directed Promont to pass the ball to the feet of the defender Kabo on the wing.

After getting the ball, Cabo led forward, attracting Bayern Munich's defensive attention, and suddenly made a pass. The forward who was supposed to be in the middle pulled to the side and received the pass.

Then he dribbled the ball down and made a cross!

Ibisevic competed for the header with Lucio in the middle, but no one touched the ball. The football directly passed the goal and flew straight to the back point.

Matthew Valbuena appeared at the back point. Instead of stopping the ball, he set off in front of the ball.

"Matthew Valbuena! Directly volley - shoot!!"

The football banged and flew straight to the near corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Kahn struggled to save, but his fingertips hit the football... "but!but!buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Matthew Valbuena's goal made Bayern Munich realize that although they are strong, their opponents are not weak. You should know that they are facing the defending champion of the League Cup!"

The Holy Mountain Forian Stadium was like a volcano erupting, and huge cheers sounded.

Some fans sang the song for Matthew Valbuena: "We have a small man, fast and flexible, you must not underestimate him! He is Matthew Valbuena! He is our little panther Matthew! Oh oh! Matthew Matthew Matthew!!"

After scoring the goal, Matthew Valbuena even took off her shirt excitedly, ran to the side of the stands, threw the jersey in her hand into the stands. It was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, which immediately caused a thousand waves.

Matthew Valbuena, who was naked with his upper body, was soon surrounded by excited teammates.

They slapped Valbuena's body and shouted, "That's so fucking beautiful, Matthew!"

"World Wave, World Wave! Your shot is so cool!"

"I thought this attack was over, but I didn't expect you to be guarding at the back...haha!"

"Did you see Kahn's expression? He can't believe it!"

Matthew Valbuena was excited and said to everyone: "Isn't this supposed to be? We are going to defend the League Cup championship!"

"That's right! Defend the title! We want to defend the League Cup!"
