Green Destroyer

Chapter 30 The Last Rival
After successfully relegation, this season is over?
No, not yet.

After two days of rest, on the morning of May 5, Chen Hao and his teammates gathered at the training base again.

"I hope you haven't entered the preparation period for the vacation, otherwise I will have a very headache for the weekend game."

Coach Cartier said with a smile:

"This has to be the strangest season, a team that has struggled in the relegation zone for half a year... to fight for another title with the league champions, the French Cup... I hope you didn't pee your pants."

History has already changed.

2014-15赛季的梅斯在2月中旬的法国杯16强比赛中与法乙球队布雷斯特0-0战平，当时已经跌入降级泥潭的梅斯球员根本无心恋战，毫无意外地倒在了点球大战中。

But in today's world, at the last moment of that game, Chen Hao played for 3 minutes.

In these 3 minutes, he only touched the football once, which formed a shot on target.

The Brest goalkeeper, who was in full form, bravely saved this shot, but caused a corner kick. It was by using this corner kick that the Metz team completed the lore at the last moment and advanced to the top 8 with difficulty.

In the subsequent top 8 and top 4 matches, Metz seemed to be lucky, defeating the Ligue [-] team Auxerre and the Ligue [-] underdog Guingamp in succession, and joined another team in the final.

Yes, their opponent... is the champion of this season's Ligue [-], the absolute overlord of French football, and the top power in European football, Paris Saint-Germain!

It is also the opponent of Chen Hao's league debut! -
"I know some of you will be out of here in a week, and you know what I mean."

Facing the players of the whole team, Cartier said calmly.

As the head coach, he certainly knew that during that period of panic, many people had negotiated their next home in private.

But he didn't blame anyone, just went on:

"If someone has played too many games this season and is exhausted, you can tell me after training and I can take him out of the squad. I promise, it will not affect anything in the new season. But ...I hope that those players who enter the big list can try their best to compete and fight!"

Even if Paris's points in the league are more than twice that of Metz, even if their players are worth 100 times that of Metz, if they are placed in a final to determine the outcome, whoever wins and who loses will still unknown!
This is the world of football!
-
An hour and a half later, Chen Hao, who had finished training, started separate extra training as usual.

With 28 league goals, he fully demonstrated his terrifying goal-scoring ability, and won praise from the entire French and even European football circles, but... how could he not be aware of his weaknesses and deficiencies?
His shot needs too much space, when he is unguarded, a shot from within 50 meters is no different to a penalty for him.But when he is disturbed close to the body, the accuracy of shooting will obviously drop a lot.

Of course, this is a problem that anyone will encounter, but it is particularly obvious on Chen Hao.

In addition, compared to his almost unsolvable shooting ability, his abilities in passing, dribbling, dribbling, awareness of grabbing points, getting rid of in place, advancing with the ball, etc. are much more ordinary, especially In the face of multiple double-teams, he, like most players, can only do nothing.

The reversal of Paris in the first show, the team's successful relegation, and winning the Golden Boot all gave Chen Hao extra talent points, but the voice in his mind never gave him a third chance to choose talent skills, and wanted to complete it again. Evolution, I'm afraid we still need to wait for the next opportunity.

Perhaps... winning this cup is this opportunity? -
Chen Hao, who had just made a quick change of direction and dribbled the ball, stopped.

The head coach Cartier was standing in front of him. Judging by his appearance, he obviously had something to say.

Chen Hao kicked the football into the goal 20 meters away, and then asked:
"Would you like to help me train, Coach?"

Cartier smiled and kicked another football, but unfortunately his shot flew directly to the corner flag...

"MD!"

He spat to hide his embarrassment:

"I just want to talk about something about... your future."

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows:
"my future?"

"The Monaco offer that the reporter said before is not a fiction."

Cartier nodded:
"Their offer is much higher than a week ago. The basic transfer fee is 3500 million euros, the maximum floating limit is 500 million, and the figure of 4000 million does exist..."

Chen Hao gritted his teeth slightly:
"Whether it is for a Chinese player or for a player from the Metz Club, this price is already a historical record, right?"

Cartier still nodded:
"In addition to Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams have also increased their offers, but the highest number is Monaco."

Chen Hao laughed:
"After all...we kicked them too badly."

Cartier also smiled:
"I know you don't have an agent for these things yet, so I'll have to ask your opinion."

"My opinion?"

Chen Hao raised his chin slightly, and asked back:
"I would also like to know the opinion of the club."

Cartier hesitated for a few seconds, perhaps out of gratitude to Chen Hao for turning the tide, he finally told the truth:

"Of course the club wants you to stay forever, but Metz is just a small team. A real superstar will never be too nostalgic for this place, not to mention...you are not a native of Metz."

Chen Hao stretched out his hand and patted him on the back. Even in a European team, for a 17-year-old player, this kind of action still seemed a bit insignificant.

He smiled and expressed his mood at the moment to his first head coach:

"Thank you for telling me this, Mr. Coach, I will seriously consider it, but... not now."

Chen Hao hooked a football with his right foot, and then made an arc:
"At least, let me give you this championship trophy!"
-
From May 5 to May 26, there are only three days left for the Metz team to prepare for the French Cup final.

On May 5, they had already taken a bus to the capital Paris.

In the afternoon, they also collectively came to the Stade de France for an hour of adaptation to the venue and participated in the pre-match press conference.

"It's the first final I've ever played in my career, and of course I'm a bit nervous, which is no surprise, but I'm never going to stop in front of the trophy because... I'm so hungry for the title."

Cartier rarely showed a strong side in public:
"Yes, Paris is much stronger than us, but football is round, and until the last second of the game, who can say that we are 100% unable to win?"

His speech was already very powerful, and it also made Metz's supporters feel very excited, but Chen Hao completely stole the limelight of the press conference with only two words:
"I can beat Paris Saint-Germain once and I can beat him 100 times!
No one can snatch even one trophy from me! "
