In the game against Ajaccio, Chu Zhongtian received a red card, which made him miss the next round of the league.

Although he was unable to participate in the Ligue 1, he was not idle either. He went to the reserve team to play a second team league after listening to coach Fernandez.

In that league where Chu Zhongtian did not participate, Metz won a draw and tied 0:0 with Lons, who was ranked higher than them. There was no goal or win. This result shows the importance of Chu Zhongtian to the current Metz team from another perspective. Metz's players are used to let Chu Zhongtian handle the ball. Once Chu Zhongtian is gone, they seem to be a little unaccustomed and don't know how to play.

After the game, Metz media said that Metz had "Chu's dependence". For Metz, I really don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But Fernandez doesn't care how the media evaluates it. Any team needs to have a core. If there is a core, it is xx dependence, then any successful team in the world will have a dependence. Barcelona relies on Xavi and Ronaldinho, and Real Madrid relies on Casillas and Ronaldo... What he needs to consider now is not to treat Metz's "Chu Dependence", but how to reduce the number of red cards and yellow cards, especially yellow cards. The rules of the Ligue 1 are different from the league rules of other countries. The Italian league is automatically suspended for one game, directly sent off by red cards, and suspended for one game; the Premier League is a little more complicated, and will accumulate five yellow cards before April 12 of each season, and then suspended for eight yellow cards.

If a player gets a red card for two yellow cards in a game, he will automatically suspend one game. He will directly receive a red card and suspend three games. If a player has accumulated eleven yellow cards in the season, the FA Discipline Committee will study the punishment for him, and the punishment results will be different for each person. If a player is sent off for the second time in the season, he will add one game to the number of games he deserves. If the third time, two games will be added. The red and yellow cards received by the player in the reserve team will be taken to the first team's game; the La Liga will suspend five yellow cards for one game, directly receive a red card and suspend one game, but you can appeal. The result of the appeal is difficult to say. The red card may be cancelled due to the appeal, or additional punishment may be added because of the previous game. The Bundesliga will also automatically suspend five yellow cards for one game and one game of red cards.

Only the Ligue 1 League will be suspended for one game if it accumulates three yellow cards.

Compared with the other four major leagues, the cumulative number of yellow cards in Ligue 1 is the smallest, and players in some special positions are also easily suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. Because three yellow cards are easy to get, sometimes even three consecutive games are shown yellow cards.

This problem gave Fernandez a headache. Proman and Chu Zhongtian are both big players because they are indispensable in defense and will foul if they are not careful about fouls. Chu Zhongtian is very important, and Proman is also indispensable. Without Proman, Chu Zhongtian's workload will be twice as much as usual, which will inevitably affect Chu Zhongtian's performance in offense.

For this reason, he had to remind Promang and Chu Zhongtian many times to pay attention to the timing and degree of fouls during the game.

Fouls are necessary, but if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

※※※After the game against Lens, Metz welcomed opponents who were not too strong in the league. This schedule was calm and the team's performance was normal, with both losses and losses.

In the 16th round of the league, he defeated Troyes 1:0 away.

In the seventeenth round, he tied with Toulouse at home 2:2.

In the 18th round, Socho was challenged away.

This game has no special significance for Chu Zhongtian, but it means a lot for Menez - this is his first time returning to Socho after joining Metz.

At Socio's home stade_auguste_bonal, Menez was "warmly welcomed" by Socio fans. They attacked Menez with huge booes and various insulting slogans. Socio fans could not forgive their hope star Menez's sudden decision to transfer and abandon Socio's approach. They thought it must be Mez who gave Menez a high salary before he poached him from Socio. This is a typical way to betray the team because of money. Socio fans compared Menez to Judas, and as soon as he got the ball, they would hear deafening booing. Socio fans waved the euro in their hands and shouted at him: "You who only recognizes money!"

Their booing and insults did not make Menez perform poorly. On the contrary, Menez's performance in the game became more active. This surprised Mess' teammates. Unexpectedly, a child who was only eighteen years old would be more fighting spirited in such a situation.

It turns out that he is a rebellious boy with personality... The boos from Soshau fans have become his motivation for the game.

So amid the booing of the fans all over the sky, Menez played the best game since he joined Metz.

Two goals and one assist. With these three goals, Metz defeated Socho 3-1 away.

After the game, Menez was rated as the best in the game by the media. When he talked to Socho's captain Isabey on the court, the booed a lot less. More Socho fans pointed their anger at Socho's chairman Jean-claude Pressis (jean-claude_plessis). If Preses hadn't nodded, how could Menez leave Socho for Mess? Look at Menez's performance in this game and then look at Socho's performance this season, it makes them angry - if we keep Menez, the team's performance will definitely not be so unbearable!

In the 19th round of the league after this game, Metz defeated Nice 2-0 at home.

After nineteen rounds of the league, Metz scored 32 points, and its ranking in the league standings even rose to sixth! It scored the same points as Auxerre and Marseille, which had one less game, but ranked sixth because of the fewer goals, otherwise they could take the fourth place.

Although Mess also entered the top three at the beginning of last season, it is not common for Mess to be so high when the league is halfway through. After the 19th round of the league last season, Mess scored only 23 points and ranked 14th.

This result made Metz fans ecstatic, and Molinari felt that it was right to keep Ribery at the cost of summer. "We may be able to go to Europe next season. Why not?" In an interview before Christmas, the Metz club chairman said happily. "This is the best Christmas gift for Metz fans!"

The local media even praised Metz's performance. They believed that after half a season, Fernandez finally found the tactical style and personnel configuration that suits Metz. From this half season, it can be seen that Ribery, Chu Zhongtian and Menez are the three most important people in the team. Their condition directly affects the team's performance.

As the winter transfer window approaches, more and more clubs are interested in the three of them, and there are often rumors about the three of them transfers in the media.

This time, there is no need for fans to petition or the head coach to express his grievances. Molinari also knows that these three people are players who cannot be let go no matter what. He will never consider selling people until the end of the season.

※※After playing against Nice, the Ligue 1 entered the Christmas holiday.

Chu Zhongtian has been busy with football-related matters for the past few months. He used to rack his brains to help Menez integrate into the team, and then he had to deal with the Devil's schedule. After the Devil's schedule, he had to work hard to grab points when facing a team with less strength.

Until now, the team has performed well, so he can have a relaxing and happy Christmas holiday.

During these months, Chu Zhongtian's life is very simple. In addition to training and competition, he learns German with Mathilde. The three hours on Thursday night are the time he and Mathilde spend alone together. In fact, it only takes one and a half hours to attend class. The remaining one and a half hours are the time when Chu Zhongtian and Mathilde chat.

Now the relationship between them has reached a step closer than their friends, but it is not the level of lovers. At least not for Chu Zhongtian. Mathilde is just a "good friend" whose relationship is closer than ordinary friends, both a teacher and a friend. They can share each other's secrets and worries. Chu Zhongtian is not good at Ribery and Merry, but he can tell Mathilde. It seems that when you are with her, you can relax naturally and he will not feel any pressure. He likes this feeling very much. In fact, professional players are professions that are under great pressure. If you don't perform well, you will lose your main position, worry about being injured and injured... etc. If you can have someone who will not put any pressure on him, but will relieve this pressure, it is a good thing.

Before he came to Metz, there was a girl around him, named Emily Stan. Although he was not a professional player at that time, he also had pressure from all sides. When he was with Emily, he would not consider those pressures.

During the Christmas holiday, Chu Zhongtian originally planned to invite Mathilde to spend it with him, but when he called him, Mathilde told him that he was going home. Even though he hated his father, he still had to go home. After all, her mother and younger brother were still there at home.

Unfortunately, Chu Zhongtian called Lin Beiyao and Wang Hao again and invited them to come to their house for a meal, even if it was a festival.

This Christmas, Chu Zhongtian did not go back to Wimbledon, nor did he go on vacation in the warm south, but in fact he didn't go anywhere. It was snowing in Metz, and he didn't even leave the door, and the refrigerator was filled with enough food for a week.

His holiday is to stay at home and watch movies and play games online.

The main purpose of surfing the Internet is to continue to follow Emily. From Emily's blog, you can see that Emily is the busiest during Christmas. She complains that she has not had a good Christmas for two years. She always rushes to promote new films and attends various commercial activities every year. Her Christmas "feast" is eaten on the plane.

"What's the best thing about being a star? Even the most ordinary wish can't be satisfied! I made a wish to Santa Claus and said that I hope I can have a day off on Christmas, but it has not yet come true. I don't know what happened to Santa Claus..."

This is the first time Emily complained about her current job in her blog. She used to say, "I'm a little tired, but I will continue to work hard and not let everyone down!" She looked full of fighting spirit, even if it was just a fighting spirit. Now, she was too lazy to do it even if she had to raise her fighting spirit.

It seems that Christmas, a day when everyone is reunited, really stimulated her.

Chu Zhongtian was also recalling the Christmas he had spent in the past few years. He found that he was much happier than Emily. He had someone to accompany him almost every Christmas, so he didn't have to work hard.

Why did Emily say that she hadn’t had a good Christmas in two years? Chu Zhongtian calculated the time and found that Emily’s Christmas was actually spent in such a busy day. That is, Christmas two years ago, Emily promoted the premiere of the first movie she participated in. At that time, she was extremely busy.

Maybe I was busy and confused, but I remembered it wrong?

Chu Zhongtian wanted to leave a message, but found that he didn't know what to say.

I advised her not to complain, after all, this is her job, and she can only do it if she is a job. But this is too inhumane.

Tell her to rest when she is tired, don’t worry about any work, and let her rest once. But is this possible? Will her harsh mother allow her to do this?

So what can I do for Emily who is worried about?

Still leaving a light message on your blog?

Chu Zhongtian felt that this was not enough.

He saw Emily's external email address on his blog.

Such emails are generally used to accept letters from fans. If they are not cleaned up in time, the emails will definitely be filled with various letters, some expressing their love, some encouraging and support, and some harassing... Chu Zhongtian is not sure that he wrote her an email. Can Emily see the things in this email? Should she read or not? She is so busy every day, how can she have time to read the letters from fans one by one?

But if he didn't do this, he couldn't find any other way to contact Emily.

Forget it, let's get lucky.

Chu Zhongtian put his hand on the keyboard and began to write letters to Emily.

This was the first time he had contacted Emily with him for more than a year, and it was a connection that indicated his identity. He didn't know if he would sink into the sea after the letter was sent.

But he wrote it anyway.

"Dear Emily..."

Chu Zhongtian got stuck after writing the first sentence. He stared at the screen for a long time, hesitating whether the title was too ambiguous? But if he didn't use "Dear", it would be too cold.

He thought about it for a long time, but after deleting it, he still called it "Dear Emily".

"Dear Emily, I'm sorry I didn't contact you before. I just don't know... Uh, I don't know what to say, anyway, I'm sorry... Christmas is here, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and the New Year is here, I wish you a happy New Year..."

※※※ "...I'm all good at Metz. There are fans and teammates who accept me here, and I have made some new friends. But no matter what, I still miss the days of playing football at Wimbledon. I feel like a dream, a beautiful dream. At that time, I was very simple, and I didn't have the great ambition and pressure I am now. I just like playing football. You didn't have such a lot of pressure at that time, right? We have all changed. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing... Actually, when I came here, I didn't have a good life. I couldn't play in the first team game, nor did I understand what the people around me were saying. No one explained it to me. When I was at Wimbledon, I had you and Boss John. When I first arrived at Metz, there were no one, and I could only rely on myself..."

Emily Stan was holding a small ibm laptop and sat in the car for wireless internet access. She was cleaning her fan mailbox, where there would be a lot of emails if she didn't clean it a day. Just like a blog, she did not hand over the email to her agent and mother for it. She would clean it up as soon as she had time. Of course, she would not read them all, because there were too many, and she always randomly selected some emails from them to read. Most of them were letters that fans supported her, praised her, expressed their love for her, and occasionally there were some very malicious harassment letters, which were filled with boring and vulgar fantasies and vocabulary. She usually chose to delete and reject such letters.

The criterion for her to choose a letter is to look at the title. Only when the title attracts her will she click to read it.

But the title of this letter was not prominent at all. The title of "Hello Emily" accounted for 80% of all the letters. She was able to choose this letter, which really means that they are very destined to be... As she looked at it, her frown just now stretched out and the corners of her mouth slowly raised.

"The next time you are interviewing, you will say that your biggest hobby is to surf the Internet, Amy." Emily's mother Miranda said helplessly when she saw her daughter's appearance.

Emily sat next to her, deafing her mother's words.

"...I couldn't play first team games for almost half a season. Sometimes I doubt whether my choice was right, and I didn't know that I was really suitable for playing professional football. On the first Christmas at Metz, I learned that my friends at Wimbledon bar were still caring for me, and I decided to go back and see them. This was a very important trip to me, because I found the power to move forward there. Can you imagine it? I went to see the game between Joe Shilin and Borger, and I got cheers from all the Wimbledon fans there, which really surprised me... I never thought I would be treated like this... Listening to their cheers, I firmly believed in going on."

"So if you feel tired, take the time to go back to Wimbledon, go see Boss John and the others, and watch a game between Shiling and the others. I think all your stress and fatigue will be released here..."

"Finally, I hope you take care of yourself and keep in a happy mood. Your friend Chu Zhongtian."

It should have been a very happy thing to receive a letter from Chu Zhongtian, but after reading it, she frowned again. She did not wait to get home and wrote a letter, but instead replied to Chu Zhongtian directly in the car.

Her reply was very short, with only one sentence: "Leave your mobile phone number and msn, stupid!"
