Green Destroyer

Chapter 24 The Gap of Six Balls
"Congratulations, coach Cartier, you have won another hearty victory, and you have also taken the initiative of relegation into your own hands. Can you talk about your thoughts?"

At the press conference after the game, Cartier responded to reporters' questions.

For the first time in a whole season, Cartier felt that he had finally crawled out of hell, and at the last moment, he seemed more cautious:
"We still have the last league game, and it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief. We still have to be vigilant, and we must not be paralyzed at the last moment..."

The reporters couldn't help curling their lips: Of course such an answer is beyond reproach, but to them, it has no news value.

So they turned to the hero who once again shined in the audience in this game-the No. 33 player who scored seven yuan alone, Chen Hao:

Marshall Rowland, a reporter for the Soir de Metz, asked:

"Chen, your recent state is really terrible. In just four league games, you have already scored an unimaginable 21 goals. You have accomplished something that more than 400 players in this league could not do in an entire season. How on earth did it work?"

Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders:

"I want to correct your problem, Mr. Roland. My state is not terrible, it's just my normal state, routine operation, do you understand?"

Roland opened his mouth wide and nodded stupidly.

I heard Chen Hao continue to say:

"You ask me how I did it? It's not difficult. I just seize every opportunity and finish the precise shot. You are all professional sports reporters. You must know better than me. In the league, I definitely don't get the shot. The one with the most chances, but I must be the one with the best shots."

Another reporter asked:
"Although you only played 4 times in the league, due to your outstanding performance, the Ligue [-] official has included you in the candidates for the best team of the season. How do you feel about this result?"

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction:
"I'm very pleased. The Ligue [-] official is a good official. They do things fairly and justly. I deserve it. If the league's golden boots can't even enter the best team, it must be an unimaginable thing. .”

The reporter asked hesitantly:

"League Golden Boot? With all due respect, Chen, you are only second in the scorer list..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted unceremoniously by the other party:

"The league is not over yet!"

The reporter is unrelenting:
"But...the gap between you and Lacazette is 6 goals! And there is only the last game left in the league!"

Chen Hao finally showed a smile:
"You're right, but I said... I can, do you believe it? Or, you make a bet with me?"

He looked at the reporter of "L'Equipe", the most authoritative sports media in France, Europe, and the world, and smiled so sincerely:

"If I can't do it, I'll go naked in front of the L'Equipe office building for an hour and let you live the whole process. But if I do get that little steel cannon, you'll give me your entire front page, How about it?"

The reporter named Matthew Dumont is also a veteran of the sports world for more than 20 years. How could he be so targeted by the 17-year-old boy? He barely thought about it, so he gritted his teeth and agreed:

"I bet with you!"
-
"Won the league golden boot after only playing five games? This world is too crazy!"

"Chen Hao VS Lacazette, can the gap of 6 goals be smoothed at the last moment?"

"Come on Lacazette! Today we are all your supporters!"

"All French people unite! We must not let the Chinese boy be so arrogant!"

……

Matthew Dumont looked at these reports, but instead of being embarrassed by anger, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

As an old reporter, sometimes you have to know how to act.

The reason why he agreed to this gamble, of course, was not to ride a tiger, but to cooperate with Chen Hao, create a little atmosphere for this season's finale, and hype up a topic.

After all, Paris Saint-Germain has won the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Apart from the relegation battle, the entire Ligue [-] seems to have no expectations. Adding another gimmick...isn't it more exciting?
Even if he loses in the end and leaves a front page for Chen Hao, what loss will the newspaper have?
Five league games can create a Ligue [-] Golden Boot. Such a player...isn't it worth enjoying such treatment?
Of course, if that Chinese person fails to do it...then be prepared to endure unreserved ridicule and ridicule from the whole of Paris, the whole of France, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world!
-
It's just scoring six goals in one game. For Chen Hao, who has scored seven goals in two consecutive games, it doesn't seem to be a big challenge.

But when he returned to the training base, he was poured cold water by the head coach Cartier:
"In the last league game, we must focus on stability, because we have 2 points more than Evian, and we have [-] more goals than them. As long as we draw this game, we can keep our current position. Rank!"

Relegation after a tie?
Nima!

If the whole team is going to defend, I only rely on long-range shots, it is impossible to score 6 goals, okay? !

Just when Chen Hao wanted to express his objection, Cartier turned to him.

The French coach clearly saw his intentions and quickly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I will never let the team defend to the end at my home court. With you, the biggest favorite of the Ligue [-] Golden Boot, on the field, we will definitely let Lille... fall hard!"

After the previous slap in the face, Cartier had already collected his "national pride". In the next training, he still firmly established Chen Hao as the core of the attack. When the defense was withdrawn, Chen Hao was still allowed to stay in the frontcourt, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

It often takes a few months for a set of tactics to mature from start to finish, but Metz's set of tactics took shape in just half a month because its content is so simple.

Stealing the ball in the backcourt, finding Chen Hao, and letting him shoot... that's the essence of this tactic.How other teammates pass the ball, how to run, how to help Chen Hao contain the defense, how to form a tacit understanding with Chen Hao... These are the problems to be solved in training.

Time flies quickly in the day-to-day training.

But Cartier has the illusion that days are like years.

Even in the previous two consecutive seasons, he led Metz from Ligue [-] to Ligue [-], and from Ligue [-] to Ligue [-], the last period of time was not as difficult as it is now.

After defeating Lille, his life will get back on track, and Metz, who has experienced a season of training, will also be able to survive in Ligue [-] more easily.

But if he is defeated by Lille and his relegation opponent Evian successfully counterattacks, his coaching career in Metz... I am afraid it will come to an end here.

Even for his meager reputation, he shouldn't go all out here!

Metz, San Severn Stadium.

The club chairman Sai Lun looked at the overcrowded stands around him, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

He couldn't remember for a long time, how many years ago the last time this stadium was full...

In the most difficult period in the middle of the season, there were two games, and the audience did not even have 5000 people!
He couldn't blame the loyalty of the fans, because even he couldn't see any hope in the team!

Salem knew.

All these changes, in the final analysis, are still the boy who is too young.

Sai Lun's eyes turned to the court, and the players from both sides had just walked out of the tunnel.

At the end of the red team's side, that figure was particularly eye-catching.

No. 33, CHEN.

Salem knew.

If he can be retained, Metz's competitiveness in Ligue [-] will definitely rise to a higher level!
But he knows better.

Such a once-in-a-century genius, mere Metz... how could he keep it? !
