Chu Zhong suddenly made a pass and caught Tottenham off guard. Ribery's back interludes with tacit understanding from the two. When Ribery stopped the ball in the penalty area and there was no Tottenham player around him, the ending was doomed.

When Ribery threw the football into Tottenham's goal, Metz fans, with only more than 2,000 people, burst into huge cheers in the stands. They saw hope for the team to advance.

"In fact, before the game, everyone was talking about away goals. Those who scored away goals had forgotten that the two teams were actually the same score, which means that Metz would lead Tottenham Hotspur in terms of scores... In fact, Tottenham's hope of advancement is not as big as we thought..." The English commentator was still making trouble for Tottenham fans.

So those Tottenham fans who had no way to watch the football live and could only watch the football in the bar or at home, raised their middle fingers to the TV screen, and spit out in their mouths as if they were talking about catchphrases: "fuck_you! You bitch's commentator!"

Before Arsenal rose in recent years, Tottenham Hotspur has always been the team with the largest number of fans in London since its founding. They are the representatives of London football. West Ham United's influence is limited to East London. Chelsea and Fulham have been unknown before joining Monopoly. Tottenham is the symbol of London football, not just in North London. Even when Arsenal had Chapman, they were unable to beat Tottenham.

But now, Tottenham fans have been disappointed with their team's performance for many years. They hope that the team can make breakthroughs this season and make a difference in the League Cup. They have a good opportunity because Messe is not strong - so they understand that compared with teams such as Sevilla and Espanyol, Messe is not strong.

After tied Messe 2:2 away, Tottenham fans became more determined. As long as they could eliminate Messe, they could advance to the semi-finals, which was only one step away from the final. The semi-finals are here, will the finals be far away? The finals are here, will the championship be far away?

But who would have thought that Mes actually launched a Jedi counterattack at White Hart Lane Stadium and scored a goal... Tottenham fans in the stands of White Hart Lane Stadium began to shout: "Occurrence! Offense! Offense!!"

They kept shouting, hoping that the team could abandon the conservative defensive counterattack tactics and bravely push out and attack Metz.

After thirty minutes of the game, Tottenham had no decent offensive opportunities, which was related to Coach Yole's tactical requirements.

At that time, he thought that as long as the team held on and did not concede the ball, victory would belong to them. Now it is impossible to think so.

All Tottenham fans were shouting "offensive", but Martin Yole was hesitating whether to push out the attack immediately. He knew that Messe's attack power was very strong, and he was worried that if he pressed up, there would be more space in the backcourt and was caught by the opponent, it would be a big trouble. At this time, Messe had just scored a goal, and his morale was strong and his fighting spirit was high. If Tottenham pressed it out, it would be a matter of time to concede the ball, not an impossible problem.

The current priority should be defense. Anyway, the opponent only scored one goal, and we still have an advantage in the away goal. As long as we scored one goal in the remaining time, we could equalize the score... If the total score was 3:3, we would still advance... Thinking of this, Yoer left the coach's seat and walked towards the sidelines.

Just when Tottenham fans thought that Yole must have asked the team to attack, Yole was using gestures to explain to Tottenham players on the court: "Standard defense, you can't concede the ball before the first half!"

He plans to make detailed adjustments during the halftime break and make arrangements for Metz's defense.

After the game started again, Tottenham fans quickly discovered that Martin Yole did not make any offensive adjustments at all. The team still allowed Mess to pass the game in the midfield in the thirty minutes before, lacking the momentum to move forward.

"This is so shit!" Some Tottenham fans complained in the stands. "Are we behind in the overall score? Why do I think it is Metz who is actually behind?"

"A Tottenham like this is simply a tragedy!"

"When the Arsenal slut fans showed off their football in front of me, I couldn't find an excuse to refute them because our football is really boring!"

"Think about it! Danny Blank Frovo, Jimmy Greaves, Martin Peters and Steve Perryman in the 1970s, Green Hoddle in the 1980s, Argentina double-star Olympiad, Artires and Richie Villa, Paul Gascoin and Gary Reinkell in the early 1990s... Our Tottenham Hotspur football is always so eye-catching, free running, offensive, and adventurous... Let's look at the current Tottenham Hotspur, which makes me feel embarrassed!"

"I really doubt that the club invited George Graham as the coach at that time. Is there any conspiracy? Is there a supporter from Arsenal to be our coach, and it turned out to be a mess of Tottenham's football style. Graham's Arsenal is boring, and now our football is also boring..."

"We need to score! Did Yoll think we could advance to the semi-finals with such a score?"

"Man, he is afraid of losing the ball and taking risks. In fact, he played pretty well in the league... but this game is too important to him. If I were him, I might be more conservative than him..." Someone defended Yoll. In fact, in the fan circle, this head coach with a low appearance is quite popular, but today the fans have put great expectations on the team, but they have gained a bitter conced. No wonder they have abandoned Yoll now.

"How can there be no unsuspecting victory in football? If you are afraid of taking risks, he might as well retreat back into his fucking uterus!"

Tottenham fans in the stands complained about Yole's conservative choice, while Metz's fans cheered for the team's performance.

"If it goes on like this, we will definitely be able to finally go to Glasgow!"

"Let Tottenham die, haha!"

"Oh oh, Tottenham are cowards! They have no eggs and dicks! Oh oh oh!"

Metz fans cheered for their team's performance. Chu Zhongtian's relatives and friends from Wimbledon will always care about their old friend Chu Zhongtian.

"The key to this goal is Chu's sudden forward pass and forward pass!"

"From this attack, we can see how important the change in rhythm is... Look, Chu kept turning his feet in the middle and backcourt at the beginning to change the rhythm, so that Tottenham's defense line would relax its vigilance and have loopholes. Once there was a loophole, Chu suddenly passed the ball forward and accelerated the rhythm. As slow as this, Tottenham's defenders could not react and concede the ball! Such a strategy is very powerful..."

"I can't understand that much, but I think Chu's fax picking was unexpected and beautiful. I never thought he would do that before. I thought he would shoot directly from a distance... If it were me, I would shoot directly from a distance!"

"That's why you can only play amateur football, and Chu can play professional football! Don't roll your eyes, I'm talking about the truth."

"Hey!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed, Metz led the way, Chu Zhongtian performed well, which made them feel good.

※※After the game started again, Metz found that Tottenham was not in a hurry to counterattack, but continued to hold on to his half, but just slightly increased the range of pressing. At least when Chu Zhongtian passed through the middle circle, no one paid attention to it anymore.

Although Tottenham did not push out the attack, which would make it difficult for Messe's goal, Chu Zhongtian was very patient.

He had been patient for thirty minutes, and it was nothing to continue to be patient.

Compared with the number of attacks, he values ​​quality more. The kind of thing that scored thirty shots in a game but failed to score a single shot, and asked the opponent to score a goal with one shot and scored a goal should not happen to the team he led.

Therefore, Metz's game statistics are often very high in ball possession rate.

The broadcast of this game also promptly played the current ball-handling ratio between the two sides. As the visiting team, Metz got a ball-handling ratio of 73%, but it was not surprising, because a large part of this ball-handling ratio was made by Metz in the mid and backcourt, and it had no practical significance.

Once the opponent's 30-meter area is attacked, Chu Zhongtian will speed up the pace, and the team's ball possession rate will also plummet.

If a loophole is found, of course it will be fatal. If it is still like it is in the backcourt, the loophole will disappear, which will not help the team's offense at all.

He is not afraid of Tottenham's turtle tactics. Anyway, his teammates can always create opportunities when they run, it depends on whether he can seize them.

※※※Martin Yoll's adjustments are very limited, and there are also people among the players who are not satisfied with this.

For example, Edgar Davis.

In fact, Davis was asked to defend Chu Zhongtian before the game, but Chu Zhongtian retreated too far and returned to Metz's back line to support. As a midfielder, Davis obviously could not do this. But now he doesn't care about so much. He wants to give Chu Zhongtian some strength, otherwise he would pass the ball like a stroll in the midfield like this, and he really thinks that there is no one in the midfield in Tottenham?

Davis, who is only 1.69 meters tall, was once the world's top midfielder. He looked like Gulite's braid and his style of playing football with glasses, but the most eye-catching thing is actually his own strength. His tough playing style, abundant physical fitness, and flexible turning are all his characteristics, and he also has an outstanding long-range shot.

But these characteristics are gradually moving away from him as he grows older.

The "Wild Boar" who is 34 years old has few opportunities to play this season and has limited roles. Unlike last season when he joined Tottenham, he did two or three people alone to help Tottenham rebuild the midfield order. Now he is tempted to withdraw and plans to leave Tottenham after the end of this season and return to the Netherlands for retirement.

But before that, he would leave something in the game and tell others that he, "wild boar" Davis, still should not be underestimated!

When Chu Zhongtian received the ball again and planned to pass the ball forward, he was entangled by Davis. He had no way to turn around, so naturally he could not pass the ball forward.

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. He had studied Davis's. The reason why he dared to turn his feet so unscrupulously in the midfield and backcourt was because he kept a certain distance from David. He knew that the older Davis had a rapid physical decline and could not have been able to mark him without blind spots throughout the game, so he pulled his position very far back, like a pure midfielder.

The thirty minutes before the goal also proved that his plan was correct. Davis often defended against Menez and others in the backcourt, and rarely sprinted more than 20 meters to press him.

But why did he get up now?

Unwilling to fail?

Seeing that he could not turn around, Chu Zhongtian passed the football back, but Davis did not keep up.

But he did not leave completely. Once the football returned to Chu Zhongtian's feet, he forced him up again.

If Chu Zhongtian intends to pass the ball forward or dribble the ball, he will stop him if he can stop him. If he can't stop him, he will make a foul directly. He will never hesitate!

At first, Chu Zhongtian felt the pressure, but soon he found a solution.

Davis's action was obviously his own idea, because the Tottenham team did not cooperate with him, and he seemed a little overwhelmed by his sudden insertion into defense. This was a godsend opportunity for Mess - Davis came up, so who was his original position? No one made up for the position, it was completely blank!

Chu Zhongtian signaled Menez and others to get closer to him, but in order not to let Tottenham's back line press up, Ibisekic had to continue to push forward and suppress Tottenham's defense line.

Then he began to command.

※※※Chu Zhongtian just received the ball and was hit by Davis from the side. His steps were a little staggering, but he still protected the football. If this collision was eight years ago, Chu Zhongtian would probably not be able to protect the ball under his feet. However, Davis, who was thirty-four, was no longer as brave as he was back then, and this collision did not have much impact on Chu Zhongtian.

He pushed the ball away slightly and passed it to Jaiovi next to him.

Davis was still following Chu Zhongtian. He knew very well that only Chu Zhongtian could command the entire Metz team. If he frozen him, it would be equivalent to freezing the entire Metz team, so he didn't care about the people around Chu Zhongtian at all.

Yayiovi was going to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian again, but Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to signal not to do this, but asked him to pass the football directly to Menez in front.

Jaiovi looked over and immediately understood what the master was doing. Davis left his defensive area and followed Chu Zhongtian closely. As long as Menez pulled out, there would be no defense. Tottenham's defense suffered the first loss of losing the ball. Even if Menez pulled out, their defenders would not follow, for fear that the space behind him would be used by Chu Zhongtian.

So at this time, Menez was very free!

Jaiovi did not dare to delay, for fear that the other party would react, so he quickly sent the ball to Menez's feet.

After Menez caught the ball, there were indeed no Tottenham players coming up to defend him.

Only then did Davis realize that he had made a big mistake - losing his defense. This time he quickly threw Chu Zhongtian down and ran towards Menez.

"Menez received the ball, but he didn't have anyone to defend... Tottenham's defense made another mistake at this time!"

"Wild Boar" Davis ran back desperately. In his eyes, Menetz had raised his foot, as if he was planning to shoot directly!

Yes, he guessed right.

There is no one to guard the goal and is facing the goal. What else should I do if I don’t shoot at this time?

Although outside the penalty area, although Chu Zhongtian did not allow them to shoot blindly from the beginning of the game, it is not a "blind" long shot now! There is no better opportunity to shoot long shots than this!

Menez's support foot stepped on the slippery ground with force, and then he swung his right foot... Davis had to fly to the ball, hoping to stop Menez's shot, but he was a little later. Menez's right foot hit the football, and the football drew an arc in the air, penetrated the heavy rain curtain, and it kept spinning in the air, throwing the raindrops out.

Paul Robinson flew to save, but the arc of the football was too big. He bypassed his fingers, then wiped the post and flew into the goal!

"2:0! Beautiful! This is beautiful! The total score is 4:2, Metz has expanded its lead!!"

"More importantly, they pulled down the last fig leaf of Tottenham Hotspur! Now you are the same as us, Tottenham Hotspur! And we are still leading you two goals in the total score!"

Davis slipped over but failed to hit anything. The football was kicked away by Menez and the man jumped up, just avoiding his behind-the-shock.

The Dutchman lying on the ground was a little unwilling. He didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian would organize an effective attack without passing the ball... Damn it!

※※※Menez, who scored the goal, rushed to the front of the camera at the corner flag, waved his fists hard, cheering for his goal.

Metz's players rushed up in a swarm and surrounded him. Everyone knew how heavy the ball was. There is no away goal advantage between Metz and Tottenham, because both sides scored two goals at the opponent's home court.

Metz took an important step on the road to advance, and they also took a two-goal lead on the basis of offsetting Tottenham's away goal advantage.

"Mesmesmes!" The Messe players gathered together and shouted and jumped.

The Tottenham players stood there, but they didn't expect that the half-time game was not over, and the advantage of two away goals was gone in a blink of an eye.

Because Metz has no other way to go except offense, the whole team is focused on scoring goals. Tottenham has too many choices, but instead loses its direction of progress and doesn't know how to take steps.

Tottenham fans in the stands were dissatisfied and angry at the team's performance of conceding two goals in the first half, and they booed one after another. This was the first time their booed were not aimed at Messe.

"Occurrence! Attack! Attack!"

"What are you still hesitating about? Yoel?! We are already two goals behind. Are you not planning to attack? You coward!! Have you forgotten how you led Tottenham last season?! Have you forgotten how we got fifth in the league? Courage, we need the courage to attack! Yoel!!"

Fans shouted at head coach Yole.

Martin Yoll stood on the sidelines with his head in his hands, his eyes showing an incredible look.

No matter how he calculated, he could not count on his defense line, which made the opponent catch the loopholes one after another and successfully scored. In fact, his tactical choice cannot be wrong, but why did he fail?

He didn't know what to say when the game was played like this. How to adjust the game during the halftime break? His brain suddenly turned blank...
Chapter completed!
