Chapter 100 Best Start(1/2)
Chu Zhongtian held the young player in his hand and followed the team outward, he heard a huge cheer coming from outside, which was the fans of both sides welcoming their team to enter.
He once watched this stadium on TV, and it was during the 1998 World Cup in France. Unexpectedly, eight years later, he stepped onto the stadium as a player.
I really can't tell what it feels like.
Is a dream come true?
No, I never had such a dream eight years ago.
He let go of the little player's hand, trotted a few steps, and jumped up to the steps. The huge stands and green grassy stadium appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became clear. However, it was not these that were more eye-catching, but the French Cup placed on a platform in the center line. The silver cup body could reflect the surrounding media and green stadiums, as well as the full stands, and of course the figures of the two teams participating in the finals.
Every Metz player who walked past the championship trophy would not help but look at the silver trophy. Ribery even reached out to touch the trophy, and then he turned around and smiled happily at Chu Zhongtian.
"It's cold." He said to Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian didn't touch the trophy. He planned to wait until the competition was over before touching it openly, touching it, picking it up, and experiencing the touch of his hand, whether it was cold or hot.
The young player around him kept looking at him, obviously curious about this yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese.
Chu Zhongtian felt the curious gaze of the French boy, and he lowered his head and smiled at the other party.
Unexpectedly, Kana transferred and left, and there was still someone staring at him by his side... The players of the two teams led their respective young players to enter the designated positions from both sides of the championship trophy, and stood in a row for the media to come up to take photos and shoot. In front of them, the championship trophy was very eye-catching and eye-catching. Everyone looked at it with a little greedy look, just like watching a beautiful woman stripped naked, posing in all kinds of seductive postures in front of them. This is their goal for a season, and in order to be able to have a kiss, they have to fight for at least ninety minutes.
A lot of things will happen in these ninety minutes, and there is only one winner in the end. You can pay any price for this trophy!
Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists. When he heard a low moan from beside him, he realized that he was still holding the boy's little hand... It seemed that he had pinched him and hurt.
He lowered his head and apologized to the young player who didn't even know his name: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I was distracted..."
The young man saw Chu Zhongtian speak to him on his own initiative and became bolder. He asked, "Can you be distracted in the final?"
Chu Zhongtian did not answer his question, but smiled and turned his attention to the trophy again.
It is precisely because it is the final that such a god will be like this.
※※※Emily saw Chu Zhongtian appear in the stands and shouted excitedly: "Chu! Chu! Chu!" At the same time, she also opened the piece of paper in her hand and waved it down.
The same is true for the people around her, and it doesn't show how abrupt she is.
However, after those people called Chu, they followed the next player who played for Mets. Emily remained silent - she was actually not familiar with Mets at all, she was just here to cheer for Chu Zhongtian.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian looked at the three rows of shots in front of him, with long guns and short cannons, some people kneeling on their knees, and some people stood on chairs to take pictures. The flashes were one after another, which really made people feel unbearable. Since starting at Wimbledon, he played four seasons, and this is the first time he encountered such a scene. Even the FA Cup that represented Wimbledon and Chelsea, there were not so many reporters. As expected, the finals were different.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Standing next to him was Ribery, with a serious face. Menetz was on the other side, expressionless.
At this time, the sound of "playing the national anthem" sounded on the stadium radio.
The silence of the stands, which had been very noisy before, suddenly became quiet. Soon the majestic "March of Marseille" started to ring.
Before the French Cup final, the French national anthem was played, but Chu Zhongtian couldn't sing it. Several French teammates around him sang loudly with the music, but Ribery's dialect didn't seem to be singing the French national anthem.
Chu Zhongtian closed his mouth and quietly waited for the national anthem to finish playing.
After playing the national anthem, the players were not asked to shake hands with each other because there was another procedure that had to be completed - Chu Zhongtian saw a tall figure walking down from the rostrum above.
When the figure walked into the venue, he recognized that the person came was French President Jacques_rené_chirac!
Chu Zhongtian still has a good impression of the French president because under his rule, France and China have always had a harmonious relationship. The education he received since childhood made him feel that Chirac is a "good friend of the Chinese people." Unexpectedly, there was such a procedure in the final of the French Cup - the current French president shook hands with the players from both sides participating in the final.
Chirac walked to the center of the venue, and started with the players at Paris Saint-Germain, shook hands with them, patted their shoulders, and said a few words of encouragement. Everyone who shook hands with him seemed very honored, including the referee.
When Chirac walked to Chu Zhongtian, he stretched out his hand to him, Chu Zhongtian quickly handed over his hand and shook hands with the French president.
Because Chu Zhongtian was the only Asian player and the only Chinese player among the players participating in the finals, Chirac stayed in front of Chu Zhongtian for a while. He asked, "Can you understand French, young man."
Chu Zhongtian replied in French: "No problem, Mr. President."
President Chirac smiled when he heard Chu Zhongtian's fluent French language.
"I have been to China many times, and it is a beautiful country with a lot of population. I am very happy that there was a Chinese player in the history of the French Cup final. You did a good job and wish you good luck."
"Thank you, Mr. President, and I hope you can go to China again." Chu Zhongtian sent an initiative to invite him.
Chirac didn't expect an ordinary player to be so comfortable. He laughed and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "I will definitely go again if I have the chance."
Then he let go of Chu Zhongtian's hand and walked towards the next Ribery.
Chu Zhongtian heard him say to Ribery: "I think you have the ability to represent France in the World Cup."
Ribery was very happy with Mr. President's comment and repeatedly thanked him.
After President Chirac shook hands with the starting players on both sides participating in the finals, he went to shake hands with the substitute players and the coaches of the two teams. But at this time, the next procedure was already underway on the court - the players on both sides shook hands with each other.
When Chirac walked back to the rostrum, Bobbyconi was guessing with the Portuguese Pauletta, the captain of Paris Saint-Germain.
Both players have returned to their respective positions. Basically, if they pick the side, they will not change the current half-court, so they will be in any half-court now.
Chu Zhongtian stood in his position - the back of his waist, and was still doing warm-up activities, jumping and shaking his ankles. He looked very relaxed and relaxed.
※※※"See it, I saw it!" When he was jumping in the camera, a burst of cheers came from an ordinary house in Chengdu, Sichuan.
Gao Jie helped Chu Zuosheng and Zhou Xiaoxiang toss for a long time, and the player who watched the game online finally ended. The picture just now was Chu Zhongtian, which surprised all three of them.
"So many people!" Zhou Xiaoxiang noticed the dense crowd of people in the stands.
"Of course, it's the final! The French Cup final!" Chu Zuosheng became a voluntary commentator. Anyway, the computer speakers are all played in French in Jiligulu. Each of them can understand, so he is just right as a commentator.
"That means you can win the championship if you win?" Zhou Xiaoxiang asked.
"Of course. If you win, you will be the champion!" Chu Zuosheng said loudly.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know that his parents had already done the live broadcast online at this time and saw the scene of his body moving at the French Stadium. At this time, he didn't think about anything, didn't think about his parents, nor did he think about his text messages for a long time, and didn't know if Emily was angry.
Captain Bobby Coni ran back and gestured to them: "Optopia kicks off, be careful."
He gave the captain a thumbs up, meaning: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
He has entered the game early.
The referee signaled the two players of Paris Saint-Germain to enter the central circle to prepare for the kick-off, and Pauletta and Karau stood in front of the football.
The game is about to begin...No.
The referee blew the kick-off whistle, Pauletta kicked the ball out, and Karau passed the ball back to Modeste Mbami behind.
The competition has begun!
※※Paris Saint-Germain did not rush to launch an attack after possessing the ball. Modest Mbami, who played as a central defender, adjusted the football, looked at the Metz formation that had not yet been broken, and turned the football to the Czech central defender David Rozenal (david_rozehnal).
The purpose of this move is to draw out the players of the Metz team and stretch their originally compressed formation so that there will be room for exploitation.
Geier and Menez, who were forwards, really ran up. They crossed the midfield of Paris Saint-Germain and rushed straight to Paris Saint-Germain's defense.
Rozenal knew that he was the opponent's target and he might be cut off if he held the ball. He didn't want to be the kind of defender who often appeared in "the stupidest football mistakes in history" and was ridiculed.
He passed the ball to the right back of the wing, Bernard_mendy (bernard_mendy). As soon as Mendy received the ball, he found that Mess' left forward was less than ten meters away from him. He was a little surprised. He wanted to do something for a moment but didn't know what to do. In short, it was a bit "brain short circuit".
When he realized that he should pass the ball to his teammate in front, Oblaniak had already rushed to him and poked the ball with one foot!
A huge noise suddenly broke out at the French Stadium. The cheers of Metz fans and the exclamations of Paris Saint-Germain fans were mixed together. I couldn't hear whether they cheered for this steal or were scared to scream.
At this time, Mendy's mind suddenly reacted very quickly. He knew what to do, and he didn't hesitate at all. He reached out and pulled Oblaniak who was about to break through!
The referee's whistle sounded. Paris Saint-Germain's right guard Mendy made a foul! Metz won a free kick on the side of the frontcourt.
"Wow, just as the game started, Metz won a free kick in the frontcourt! Unlike the media analyzed before the game, Metz performed fiercely after the game started!" The commentator exclaimed.
They were indeed surprised because the media generally believed that Fernandez would take a defensive counterattack in this game and grind Paris Saint-Germain to death. This tactic has been proven to be very useful in many key games.
Unexpectedly, Metz actually adopted the active tactic of pressing in the frontcourt at the beginning of the game, which caught Paris Saint-Germain off guard. This mistake was very embarrassing.
Proman is basically responsible for free kicks in the frontcourt, and as a key figure to prevent the opponent from counterattacking, Chu Zhongtian must stay in the midfield to be responsible for defense.
But this time, Promón did not run up and take the free kick, but pushed Chu Zhongtian: "Chu, you go to the penalty area to compete for the top."
Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. "But I want to defend."
"I'll do it."
"Who will play the free kick?"
"There are many people who can play in the cross from the wing, Obraniak or Ribery. You can give the opponent a surprise when you go up. This season we have not allowed you to go up and compete for a header in set pieces. You are an "accident" that they would never have thought of and were not prepared for." Proman blinked at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian understood that this move was indeed very good. After he went up, Paris Saint-Germain would lack the way and candidates to deal with him, and would not find anyone to defend him for a while. So as long as the ball was landing appropriately, he would be able to cause trouble for the opponent in front of Paris Saint-Germain's goal.
Time didn't wait for anyone, so he nodded and ran up.
Originally, Oblaniak planned to wait for Proman to come up and take a free kick, but he didn't expect Proman to wait for Chu Zhongtian before he could wait.
Chu Zhongtian ran to Oblaniak first and said to him: "Proman is not coming, you can kick this ball. Kick it on my head."
After saying that, he accelerated and ran towards Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area.
Ribery laughed when he saw him running in and squeezed with the opponent's people. He knew what the kid wanted to do, and in order to cooperate with him, he had to create more chaos inside. So he became unhonest and changed positions in the crowd, making the young Paris Saint-Germain left-back Sylvain Armand (sylvain_armand), who was responsible for defending him, dizzy. Follow Ribery through the crowd, disrupting Paris Saint-Germain's own defense.
Menez is also cooperating with Chu Zhongtian. He is 1.83 meters tall and his header cannot be underestimated.
When Chu Zhongtian saw such chaos on the penalty area line, he knew what his teammates were doing.
So he hid behind Menez and Ribery, relying on them to attract Paris Saint-Germain's defensive attention, while he lowered his head and looked like a transparent man in a low profile.
The players of Paris Saint-Germain did not notice him. They cared more about Menez, as well as the two central defenders Bobby Coni and Menieri who rushed up.
