Chu Zhongtian really didn't expect to experience a tense and exciting relegation battle in his first season when he was loaned to Mets. From Wimbledon's Athletics, he experienced an upgrade battle in his football career. The final result was both good and bad. Fortunately, he still succeeded in the end. Now he has experienced a relegation battle. No matter what the final result is, he has experience in the beginning and end.

The match against Strasbourg is on May 14th, and Metz will welcome Paris Saint-Germain at home seven days later. Although Paris Saint-Germain's performance this season is not very good and is somewhat inconsistent with their reputation, for Metz, it is still a very strong team.

"The only condition that is good for us is that we are playing at home." A few days before the game, Metz's local media, Lorraine Republic, said this. If you analyze the team's strength, the more you analyze it, the more you become, the more you become, the more you are disheartened. The gap between the strength of the two sides is like a huge gap, which seems to be unbridgeable.

"Marseille will face Lyon, who has already won the league championship in advance in this game at home. The Marseille may hope that Lyon, who has won the championship in advance, will show mercy to them so that they can keep the fourth place in the league and be qualified for the next season's League Cup. And the Parisians will definitely not think so. As a rival to the national derby and a contender for the qualification for the advantageous League Cup, Paris Saint-Germain has sufficient reason to hope that Marseille will be unlucky. Of course, they will not let the weak Metz go. Only by defeating Metz can they ensure that they have an advantageous position in the competition with Marseille." The local media in Paris, Le Parisian, commented on this game.

There are also many centrist media who are not optimistic about Metz being able to defeat Paris Saint-Germain at home because Paris Saint-Germain now has the motivation to win the game, and this motivation is not smaller than Metz at all.

Metz is for survival, and Paris Saint-Germain is for honor and dignity.

※※※ "Tell everyone that we will hold a meeting after the training." Captain Bobby Connie informed the deputy captain Proman, and then Proman told other teammates about the captain's decision. Soon during the training interval, everyone knew that the team would hold a closed-door meeting after training.

In fact, it is normal for the team to bypass the coach and decide to hold a meeting by themselves. After all, the locker room is a very internal and mysterious area, and even the coach cannot easily step on foot. If there is anything between players, they must be solved in the locker room, and they cannot be taken outside the locker room to say that no matter whether it is solved or not, this rule must be followed. This is the rule for the locker room of the football team around the world.

When players want to fight against the club collectively and want to increase their salary or bonuses, they hold a locker room meeting. When players are dissatisfied with a coach, they hold a locker room meeting to discuss countermeasures. When there is a conflict between players, the captain will come forward to hold a locker room meeting to try to reconcile both sides. In short, locker room meetings have many functions.

The locker room meeting today has nothing to do with the above reasons, because the team is at a critical moment of relegation. The captain wants to boost morale and unify his thoughts. He needs to know what his teammates think before these two final battles. If there are signs of bad thoughts, they will be strangled to death in the locker room and must not let it bear fruit on the court.

After the afternoon training, the players quickly finished interviewing reporters on the side of the training ground to satisfy the fans' autographs and take photos, and walked back to the locker room.

Chu Zhongtian and Ribery are the same. Faced with the question of the probability of relegation among Chinese journalists, Chu Zhongtian just said that they would play the last two games seriously.

"It depends on others to plan things, but it depends on God to accomplish things." He said to Xu Xiaodi.

Chu Zhongtian, who returned to the locker room, heard captain Bobby Coni say: "Everyone go take a shower first, change your clothes before we have a meeting. Please pay attention to the time of taking a shower and don't waste everyone's time!"

There were eleven showerheads in the bathroom, just enough for a starting lineup to take a shower at the same time. After three trips, everyone took a shower and changed their clothes. Some sat in their positions, some stood aside, and some were sitting on the ground, all waiting for the start of the meeting.

Bobby Coni stood in the middle, he was the captain, he was responsible for convening meetings and holding meetings for everyone. There was no coach in the locker room, and no coach was allowed to participate in the player meeting, even if the coach had a high status in the team. If a coach wanted to force the players to participate in the meetings, he would lose the support of the entire team. Doing so would be like destroying the Great Wall, so few coaches dared to challenge the players' privacy in the locker room.

After everyone was all here, Bobbyconi said, "I think everyone knows why I called you for a meeting. Our current relegation situation is very serious. The next game is against opponents like Paris Saint-Germain, and I know some people are afraid. This is why I called this meeting - I don't want our team to be relegated, so even if it's a great opponent, we have to win!"

Bobby Coney is actually a captain with no sense of presence. When the team is normal, he can hardly see what he is for. In addition to reminding everyone to change clothes faster in the locker room, don’t be too lazy during training, and pay attention to rest early during the game. He rarely talks about it in the locker room. In the locker room, the most eye-catching star is Frank Ribery. But this afternoon, the protagonist here was changed to Bobby Coney.

"Does anyone want to be downgraded?" he asked.

The teammates shook their heads and answered him: "No!"

"No, who wants to be downgraded?"

"I don't know what others think, but I don't want to be downgraded..."

"Stefan, you're talking nonsense!" Ribery screamed, as if he was insulted. "We are Metz players. Do we want our team to be relegated? If we really relegated, it would be an insult to ourselves, because that means that our efforts in a season are bullshit! We are poor in our own level and cannot relegate!"

Despite being scolded by Ribery, Bobby Coni was not angry. He laughed: "I am so happy to see you still have such fighting spirit. To be honest, I was worried that you would lose fighting spirit because our opponent was Paris Saint-Germain... Now it seems that I am too careful. If you really think so, then I have nothing to say. In the last two rounds of the league, we will win no matter what, and we have to relegate, and we will not be able to go any further except victory!"

"Paris Saint-Germain is actually nothing great!" Ribery continued, "Didn't we almost take a point when we fought with them last time? If it weren't for their fake fall at the last moment... So I think we shouldn't have any psychological pressure when we were playing against them. Paris today would have been no longer possible!"

His words were agreed by everyone, and his teammates echoed.

"Yes, we can beat them!"

"The media always say that teams that are relegated are the hardest to play, so let's let them see how difficult it is to play!"

Bobby Coni was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. This was the purpose of his convening everyone for a meeting. If there was no problem, add a bundle of firewood and add a fire to make the flame burn more vigorously.

"Okay, brothers, in the game against Paris Saint-Germain, don't let our home fans down!"

※※※The meeting ended, and everyone was still discussing the next game and their opponents.

Chu Zhongtian became the focus of everyone's discussion, because when the two teams met last time, it was he who was injured in the substitute in the game, who helped the team regain control of the midfield and almost got a point.

"Hey Chu, I guess Kana will play in this game. Be careful of that person." Proman reminded Chu Zhongtian.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ribery next to him stood up and said, "Who won and who lost the last time they fought? Wasn't that kid defeated by our Chu? I don't think there is nothing to worry about."

"Don't get hurt..." Proman added.

"Thank you, Gregori." Chu Zhongtian smiled at Promum. The other party was kind and he could not help but appreciate it.

"I think it's Kana who should be careful of our Chu!" Ribery's words made many people laugh. They still remember the scene when Kana was knocked to the ground by Chu Zhongtian and almost breathed. Seeing the "killing machine" that had been showing off before, the Metz players were really happy as they were opponents.

Bobby Coni walked up to ask Chu Zhongtian: "Chu, how many yellow cards do you have on your body after the suspension?"

Chu Zhongtian thought for a while and then told the captain: "One."

Bobby Coni nodded: "That's good. But be careful not to take cards when fighting against Karna. If you are sent off by a red card, this game will be..."

Chu Zhongtian replied, "Don't worry, captain. I know the right amount."

※※※At the critical moment of relegation, Chu Zhongtian and Ribery's performance was crucial, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that their performance will determine the final fate of the team. So Merry returned to Metz again to watch the game between his two players.

After arriving at Metz, he invited two people to have a meal and talked about their respective future situations. After all, the season is about to end. It is not known whether the team can successfully relegate. What will they do next season if they can relegate, and what will they do next season if they cannot relegate.

"If I can't relegate, I will definitely not stay here." Ribery said very simply. He actually doesn't have much affection for Mess. If it weren't for coaching Chu Zhongtian and Fernandez, he might have transferred to Turkey during the winter break. "If I can relegate, I also want to see if other teams are interested in me. If they can offer a contract that satisfies me, I will transfer."

"Me? I have to depend on Chelsea's arrangements, regardless of whether the team is relegated or not..." Chu Zhongtian said the truth, he had no way to decide his destiny.

Meri said to Chu Zhongtian: "Mes asked Chelsea some time ago, and they plan to buy you out."

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. He had never heard of this before, and even Xu Xiaodi had never told him, obviously he didn't know it either.

"But it is said that Chelsea's head coach Mourinho refused. He plans to observe you again before deciding whether to accept the transfer request for you."

"Observe me? I have hope of going back to Chelsea?" Chu Zhongtian asked. He was not surprised after hearing this.

"I don't know, Chu. We have to observe them again. But from the momentum, you are sincere in Metz. Maybe it's because of your head coach Fernandez..."

Ribery suddenly interjected: "Chu, let's just transfer to other teams next season! We will cooperate together!"

Chu Zhongtian's heartbeats a little - this is a very attractive suggestion. However... it is very difficult to operate. First of all, you may not be interested in Ribery's team, and you may not be interested in Ribery's team. Secondly, the teams that can meet Ribery's requirements may not be willing to meet their requirements, and the teams that can meet their requirements may not be able to meet Ribery's requirements.

He shrugged: "Let's see then, Frank, the season is not over yet, I don't know what will happen then."

"I also have one more worry..." Mr. Merry said, "As far as I know, your head coach Fernandez will have his contract with Metz after the end of this season, and he has not renewed his contract with the club yet. He values ​​you very much, but it is hard to say whether he is in Metz next season. You should also consider all of this when you consider your future."

Both of them knew that the head coach and the club had not renewed their contracts. They believed that Mr. Fernandez did not want to be distracted at the critical moment of relegation and planned to renew his contract with the team after relegation. But what if the team did not relegation?

Will you leave the team like them?

I finally met a head coach who was optimistic about me and carefully cultivated himself. He and I don’t know where they will be next season. My career is really uneven... Chu Zhongtian and Ribery both had such a feeling for a while.

"What's wrong with you? I don't want to put pressure on you." Seeing that Chu Zhongtian and Ribery were a little silent, Merry clapped her hands and laughed. "You have performed very well this season. Where can you go in the future? Don't think too much about it, just finish the last two games."

※※ As the game against Paris Saint-Germain approaches, more and more fans come outside the Saint-Saint-Furion training base every day to watch the team training. They all come to cheer for the players, hoping that they can defeat the strong opponents and succeed in relegation.

Chu Zhongtian even met the taxi driver Escher de Belmont in the crowd. Today he did not wear the blue French team No. 10 jersey, but a Metz No. 30 jersey with Chu Zhongtian's surname printed on it: "chu".

"I didn't lie, I'm really your fan." After seeing Chu Zhongtian, Belmont excitedly pointed to the number and name behind him and said to Chu Zhongtian. Then he turned his back and asked Chu Zhongtian to sign the white number.

"I said, man, Paris Saint-Germain has nothing to be afraid of! Fuck them!" When Chu Zhongtian signed him, he was still chattering. "That Kana is far inferior to you! What else can he do besides being able to defend? Oh, sorry, he is not defending but shoveling people, what else can he do besides being able to shovel people? You are a million times better than him!"

"Okay." After signing his name, Chu Zhongtian slapped him on the back, "Aren't you driving today?"

"I happened to send a guest here to see you train..." He searched in the crowd, as if he wanted to find the passenger he had just carried. Chu Zhongtian thought that there were so many people here, how could it be so easy for you to find it?

Just after thinking about it, Belmont pointed his hand: "It's her!"

Chu Zhongtian looked over and saw Lin Beiyao lying down on his body while he was vomiting... "How long did it take you to get here from Metz University?" he asked Belmont.

"Six minutes!" Belmont announced proudly.

Chu Zhongtian was covered in black lines.

"I'll tell her to take care of not taking your car again, Belmont."

"Uh..." Belmont, who was very proud just now, was stunned: "Is that your friend?"

"Of course. If she had something, don't ask for my signature again!" Chu Zhongtian, a young French man who looked scary, actually was very simple.

"Okay, I will pay attention to it in the future... Otherwise, you can make a list of your friends, and I will pay attention to controlling the speed when I see you..."

Chu Zhongtian shrugged at him. How could he accept such a request? He ignored Belmont and turned around to sign the next fan.

Belmont looked back at Lin Beiyao who was still vomiting, then looked at Chu Zhongtian, and then waved to him: "I have to leave, man! I said I will perform well during the game, and I will cheer you up!"

Then he ran away from the Holy Mountain Forian Stadium, and he was driving to make money.

※※※The players finished their training and signed autographs to enthusiastic fans outside the training ground, thanking them for coming to the training ground to support the team.

The team's head coach, Mr. Fernandez, sat in his office in the only small building in the training base, with his cell phone in front of him.

The lights were not turned on in the office, although it was already dark outside and the light in the room was very dim. It didn't matter, because he had to look at something, and he sat in the chair, just thinking.

He had just finished a call. On the phone, the other party invited him to coach his team after the end of this season, and promised to give him a high salary. In addition, he also met his requirements in the transfer market. As long as he wanted, he would try his best to buy him and form a team that could reign over France and even rule Europe.

The man was named Papa Diouf (papa_diouf), who was the chairman of the Marseille club.
