“…Subs: Oberhaul, Endo, Basman, Shopulan, Dukure, Ben Yousuf, Chen Hao.”

On April 27, the day before the 32nd round of the make-up, assistant coach Jose Yuna Champ announced the 18-man roster to participate in the competition after training.

Although the relegation situation is very bad, these players are still in good spirits. After all, they have struggled to win in the last two games, but because many main players are absent due to injuries, the remaining people are obviously lacking in confidence.

Head coach Cartier looked at the players he brought out and said nothing to encourage morale.

With Metz shaking, he has indeed heard from someone contacting other teams privately, especially those African players, without any cover-up, but he has no way to accuse the players of being "unprofessional". This will only completely collapse the morale that has finally gathered recently!

-

Being on the bench is not new to Chen Hao. He has won six such opportunities this season, but without exception, he has never played even for a second.

He only played for 3 minutes in the French Cup round of 16 on February 12, helping the team defeat Brest of the French League 1-0.

In that game, he only got one shot opportunity. His talent for perfect shots allowed him to shoot accurately, but the opponent's goalkeeper made a brave save as if he had a plug-in, resulting in a corner kick. But it was this corner kick opportunity that allowed Metz to defeat his opponent at the last moment.

But this victory did not give him any attention. Even if Metz defeated his opponent Aussel (Ligue 2) in the quarterfinals and his opponent Guygan (Ligue 1) in the semi-finals, he had nothing to do with him.

So he was not excited at all, but as always, he started football as everyone responded, and prepared to start today's extra practice.

"Reinforced steel and iron bones" have greatly improved his physical fitness. Of course, he will not waste it easily. Dribbles and shooting are all must-practice events he must practice every day.

He had just taken the ball a few steps when he saw Sebastian Muerte, the coach in charge of the youth team, appear in front of him.

Chen Hao still respects this coach who recommended him to the first team and quickly takes off the football and waits for the other party to speak.

Muet nodded at him, his eyes filled with a hint of relief:

"Don't practice too much for yourself. Tomorrow's game... Maybe you will have a chance to play."

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, a little unbelievable:

"Tomorrow's opponent...but Paris Saint-Germain!"

For relegation teams, every game is of great significance. How can a youth training player who has never played in the official league appear in the face of a powerful opponent like Paris Saint-Germain?

Muet patted his shoulder:

"Don't think too much, boy."

April 28, 2015.

The capital of France, Paris.

Princes Park Stadium.

Early summer in Paris has arrived, and it is even more hot in the afternoon, but Cartier only feels a chill.

The game has arrived in the second half, and the score is 2-0 that embarrassing him.

Before the game, Cartier was a little lucky. Paris Saint-Germain's leading ace, Swedish striker Ibrahimovic, was suspended for four games for criticizing the French referee, which greatly reduced Paris' offensive firepower. Perhaps Metz could find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But reality is still cruel!

Although the attack without Ibrahimovic was weakened, there were Cavani, Ravic, Pastore and Verati!

Verati scored the first record in the 25th minute, while Cavani scored another goal in the 42nd minute. He only played half of the game, and Metz's fans had already seen the end of the game.

In the 53rd minute, Metz's Marie striker Modibo Mecca scored a goal for the visiting team, and Cartier seemed to see hope.

But just 7 minutes later, Cartier suffered a blow. His main central defender Guido Milan sprained his ankle while defending Pastore!

Substitute defender Shopulan quickly played, and in order to adjust his offensive firepower, Cartier replaced the Ivory Coast striker Engbakoto, born in 1992, in the 65th minute, and sent the TNS young player Ben Yousof, born in 1991.

There was only one substitution quota for Mes, and Chen Hao suddenly felt extremely familiar.

This game... I'm afraid there is no chance of my own!

He shook his head and sat back on the bench, ready to watch his team get a loss.

But before he could sit in the chair, he was pushed out by assistant coach Yuna Champ:

"Why are you still standing there? Go and warm up quickly!"

-

"The time is getting less and less, Paris Saint-Germain has always been firmly controlling the scene. Although Metz has a chance, he has never been able to grasp it... The camera is given to the sidelines, and Chinese young player Chen Hao is warming up again. Oh? He came to the fourth official and seems to be preparing to come on as a substitute? Maybe we are about to witness the official debut of Chinese players in the Ligue 1!"

CCTV has never had the tradition of broadcasting Ligue 1. Most websites and platforms lack interest in this so-called fifth league. Even with the gimmick of Chinese young players, they rarely broadcast Metz's games live.

You know, when Chen Hao joined Metz's first team, another Chinese young player, Zhang Xizhe, had already transferred to the Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg in a high-profile manner, and the Bundesliga platform is much higher than that in Ligue 1!

Therefore, the older Zhang Xizhe is undoubtedly more attractive. CCTV has given priority to live broadcasts in Wolfsburg every weekend. Not to mention Bayern Munich's games, even high-level events such as CBA, women's volleyball, table tennis, snooker, and bull riding competitions... have to give way to Wolfsburg!

Fans who want to watch Ligue 1 games often can only try their luck from various websites and platforms. Some websites even borrow signals from Russia, RB, India, and Vietnam...

Fortunately, the game against Metz at home can barely be regarded as a "focus showdown", and there are still major websites in China to broadcast it.

The intern commentator named Huang Chaoran had just explained two Ligue 1 games in a row. He was so sleepy that he yawned all the time. Due to the stalemate situation during this period, he had even had a nap for a few minutes. At this moment, he saw that the Chinese young player was indeed preparing to appear, so he suddenly cheered up.

But before he could see Chen Hao step on the turf, the situation on the scene changed again:

Pastorre, who had already assisted twice, dribbled the ball and attracted several Metz players, and then chose to hit the ball unexpectedly. Then, right back Van derville rushed into the penalty area with a throttle and penetrated Metz's goal with a strong low shot!

3-1!

The Princes Park Stadium was thunderous, and the domestic audience who were just looking forward to the Chinese young player making his debut in Ligue 1 were all lost.

Huang Chaoran glanced at the time and cursed weakly:

"The game has been going on for 78 minutes. When the away game is played, Metz lacks the Major General, and his opponent is the French Ligue 1 overlord Paris Saint-Germain, and he is behind two goals... This is the worst debut. I hope Chen Hao will not have too much pressure and ideological burden and will go on the field lightly..."

On the silent Metz bench, head coach Cartier sighed helplessly and turned his head to look at the assistant coach:

"That's fine if you substitute people. I'm afraid it's not suitable for newcomers to experience..."

Yunashanp didn't know this, but he could only smile bitterly and shake his head:

"It's too late, Albert, the substitution application has been reported to the fourth official..."

Cartier was stunned for a moment and could only sigh again.

-

"Relax, Chen Hao, don't think about goals or victory. This is just your first official game. Just feel the atmosphere..."

Sebastian Muert is still trying to calm the players' emotions.

But he was surprised to see that the little guy who was recommended to the first team by himself showed a smile that was inconsistent with his age.

Chen Hao did a set of chest expansion exercises with a confident look on his face, and then patted Muett on the back:

"Sir Coach, you won't regret recommending me to enter the first team in an extraordinary way."

In the 78th minute, Mes, who was behind two goals, made his last substitution!
Chapter completed!
