Green Destroyer

Chapter 10
"Boom!"

Albert Cartier punched the guard next to the coach's bench.

There was a sharp pain in his fist, but he didn't take it to heart.

He almost rudely ripped off his already soaked shirt, revealing those exuberant body hairs, allowing every cell to breathe the air of the Parc des Princes.

This is the air of victory.
-
Blanco's legs were a little weak.

He lost this victory, but the championship opponent Lyon has steadily scored three points. The positions of the two teams in the standings have been exchanged again. The road to the championship of Paris has suddenly cast a shadow... …

But fortunately, after entering May, his ace - Zlatan Ibrahimovic will return the king, and the halo of the league who wins Ibrahimovic is bound to bless Blanco's team.

He barely stood still, took a deep look at the magical substitute who had already been held up by the Metz player, and walked slowly towards the passage.
-
"You're a lunatic!"

Metz's main striker Mecca roared in Chen Hao's ear with his bloody mouth open, making his eardrums buzz.

Being able to stage a Jedi reversal in the away game of the top team, such a feat undoubtedly gave the demoralized Metz players a shot in the arm. The previous 10-point gap was narrowed to 7 points, and they faintly saw the possibility of relegation. .

The biggest giants in France have been defeated by them, what team can't beat? !

Even those players who have already contacted their next players showed happy smiles, at least... There is still a winning bonus for this game! -
After wild celebrations, the physically exhausted Metz players finally remembered that they had to leave the field - after all, this is not their home court.

And when they passed through the player tunnel, Chen Hao, who was the absolute hero of the comeback, was stopped by the reporter as a matter of course.

Out of prudence, the good-looking female reporter also asked in advance:
"Hello, Chen, French or English?"

Chen Hao, who has lived in France for nearly four years, smiled:

"French, thank you."

The female reporter shook the surging waves, with a professional smile all over her face:

"According to official statistics, this is your first official appearance for Metz, isn't it?"

Chen Hao corrected her:

"I played once as a substitute in the French Cup in February, and today is my first official appearance in Ligue 2."

The reporter nodded:
"When you played, Paris had just scored the third goal. Did you ever think that you would be the key to deciding the outcome?"

Perhaps because he has lived in France for too long, Chen Hao does not have any sense of modesty, he showed a confident smile:

"I don't play to gain experience, but to score goals and win!"

The reporter was slightly surprised, because in his impression, East Asian players are often very humble and low-key, but she still smiled politely:
"It's your league debut, but it's almost never a hat-trick debut. How does it feel to be a hero?"

Chen Hao still smiled:

"I enjoy this feeling, the thrill of being a hero is absolutely addictive."

The reporter threw out his final question:

"How confident are you about Metz's relegation situation?"

Chen Hao answered her without hesitation:
"100%!"

The reporter was slightly taken aback:
"Can you tell me why?"

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, his smile became brighter:

"Because... there is me!"

The female reporter suddenly felt that the sunlight was a bit dazzling:

"Thank you for the interview, Mr. Chen. I hope you can give a wonderful performance in the next game."
-
Cartier, who is slightly conservative, still doesn't want him to show off too much. Chen Hao, who was interviewed on the sidelines, did not appear at the post-match press conference, which disappointed the media reporters.

Of course, Chen Hao didn't care. He couldn't wait to dial the number of his hometown and his family members who cared most about him.

Although it was late at night in China, he knew clearly that his parents must not have fallen asleep yet.

Sure enough, the phone only rang four or five times before he heard the most familiar voice:
"Baby, you played well!"

Chen Hao's mood, which was hot just now, suddenly calmed down.
-
When Zhang Xizhe was still waiting for a substitute opportunity in Wolfsburg, when Zhang Xiuwei had returned to the Chinese Super League and Zhang Yuning went to Vitesse for the second time for trial training, Chen Hao, who was younger than them, was in It became the most eye-catching focus of the domestic sports world overnight!
"Fight to fame! Mace ushers in the strongest hero!"

"Soldiers descend from the sky! The Chinese teenager turned the tide in 12 minutes!"

"Who is this person? Invincible Paris capsized on Chuan Wazi!"

"Is there hope for relegation?! The coach of Metz personally admitted that if the Chinese teenager is sent in the first round, Metz may hit the championship!"

"The national team is calling! Perrin is already considering officially recruiting 17-year-old players for the summer training camp!"

"Hat-trick in the first league game! This record surpasses Messi and beats Ronaldo! Chen Hao has become No. 1 in all ages!"

"Crazy parents! In order to train their son to go abroad for further study, the parents sold a hundred acres of farmland in the new district at a low price!"

"Thanks to the Football Association! The ten-year overseas study plan is finally ushering in fruitful results!"

"Chairman X of the City Football Association: I personally sent him to Metz five years ago. His eyes are brave and firm!"

"The pride of Chengdu X Primary School! Interview with the principal, head teacher and classmates of Chen Hao Primary School: He has been a football genius since he was a child!"

……

In just one day, Chen Hao became one of the top ten most searched and discussed topics on major domestic media and search platforms.

Such crazy and deformed heat made people feel a little bit astonished, but it was natural.

After all, football is the number one sport in the world. Even if it is sluggish like Chinese football, those professional players still have unimaginable high benefits, high salaries, and no low social status.

As for the national football team that everyone is calling for, no matter whether they win, draw, or lose badly, or introduce a new policy at will, they will definitely become the focus of discussion at a certain stage.

And now... there is a Chinese player who turned out and performed a hat-trick in a single game in Ligue [-]. How could it not cause any waves in China? !

This is not a warm-up match where friendship comes first, nor is it an innocuous cup match. This is Ligue [-], one of the five major leagues!
The opponent is not a little-known kitten or puppy, but a super giant, Paris Saint-Germain, who once owned Ronaldinho, Beckham and other superstars!

He didn't score a goal that was icing on the cake, but a superhero who directly performed a hat-trick when the whole team was in despair, and turned the tide by himself!

The Chinese media and fans are always blind, especially now that there are fewer and fewer overseas players these years, they will always put all the hope of the rise of Chinese football on the shoulders of a star of hope.

These hopes will undoubtedly bring huge attention to Chen Hao. When he performs well, he is the savior of Chinese football. Even if he sends a good pass on the field, he can still make headlines in the domestic media.

And when he fell into a downturn, he would truly feel the heavy and suffocating pressure.
-
Chen Hao has not had the opportunity to experience this pressure.

After only a short rest for one day, on the morning of April 4, he showed up at the Metz team's training base on time.

The game against Paris is a midweek make-up match, and this weekend they will immediately welcome their next league opponent-the currently ranked third Marseille team.

Marseille is a traditional strong team in Ligue 21 and the only club in the French team that has won the Champions League trophy. Although it has weakened after the 120st century, their glorious history of nearly [-] years still gives them a high reputation in world football. Pires, Germany Shang, Blanco, Dugarry, Cantona, Drogba, Makelele, and Nasri have all played here.

"Forget the victory just now, our road to relegation is still difficult, and it is not time for us to relax."

Metz's head coach Cartier said with a serious face.

He patted the tactical board:
"We will play three games this week, and everyone will consume a lot of energy. In order to reduce accidents, we will perform appropriate rotations in some positions."

Of course, such an arrangement will not be questioned. After all, the season is in the final stage, and physical fitness is insufficient.

What's more, everyone has their own ideas. Some people want to get a new contract based on their performance, some people want to win the attention of other clubs, and some people have already negotiated their next home, so they don't want to waste too much energy.

Cartier called out the names of several players to confirm that they will rest for the next game, and ordered several other players to confirm their entry into the squad.

Then he hesitated for a few seconds, and looked at Chen Hao who was sitting in the corner with a questioning look:
"Chen, you will definitely become the key target of all opponents now. I don't want you to bear such pressure, so..."

Although the French don't have the saying "shoot the first bird", they understand the same truth. If Chen Hao, who defeated Paris with three goals, starts in the next game, he will definitely be targeted by Marseille. May be overwhelmed by huge criticism and pressure!

Chen Hao could understand the coach's caring heart, but he still shook his head:

"I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness, coach, but the club has reached the most critical moment. I hope that I can fight for relegation with my teammates! I hope to get this starting position!"

Cartier took a deep look at him and finally made up his mind.

This kid is right, the team is extremely urgent, and he needs this player full of fighting spirit!
