As soon as the match between Metz and Espanyol ended, the entire Saint Mountain Forian Stadium was in full swing.

No Metz fans left early. However, Espanyol fans must leave the stadium within fifteen minutes at the request of the police, otherwise they cannot guarantee that the excited Metz fans will do more Espanyol fans. You should know that the Metz fans have caused many violent incidents and racist news in France.

Metz fans all gathered in the stands and shouted the slogan "Glasgow! Glasgow!"

The Metz players did not rush to return to the locker room, but celebrated this historic moment with the fans in the center of the venue. Of course, the media was indispensable to entertaining the fun, and they all caught Metz players for interviews.

Ribery scored twice in the game, including a wonderful spoon shot, became the target of journalists' pursuit.

Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by Chinese journalists.

"As the first Chinese player to reach the finals of the European Major Cup, what do you think, Chu Zhongtian?"

"Ah? Am I the first one? I don't know if you don't say it. I don't have any idea, I'm just looking forward to the finals anyway."

"Talk about the game? Did you think you could win so easily before the game?"

"We have always had the belief that we must win, no matter who our opponent is."

"Looking forward to the finals, what kind of results do you hope to get?"

"champion."

"So sure?"

"This is not certainty, it is confidence. If you don't even have the confidence to win the championship and don't even dare to think about it, don't enter the finals. If you enter the finals, don't want to win the championship, are you still going for the runner-up?"

...Jean Fernandez naturally has many media interviews. After all, he is a key figure in Metz's rise in recent seasons. Now he has reached the League Cup finals.

"I'm very satisfied with the team's performance, and each of them is excellent. I knew this very early on, and my players are the best!"

"The final? Of course we hope to win the championship. Going to the final is not the ultimate goal, the championship is."

"The final opponent? I don't know who it will be. If I want to choose, I would rather choose a strong team... Sevilla."

After leading Metz to create history, Jean Fernandez was also very enthusiastic and made all the ruthless words come out.

This made the media very happy - these are the things that attract the most attention... Everyone is surrounded by at least one or the most unknown reporters. On this night, every Metz player is a star shining with stars.

The Spanish head coach Valved, who attended the press conference, looked at the sparse Spanish reporters and sighed. He was a loser and had to face such a scene, and there was nothing to complain about.

"Don't wait, let's start." He said to the host of the press conference.

He knew that the French would not care about the losers. In fact, Spanish journalists were just doing routine. They lost the semi-finals of the League Cup. Is there anything good to report on a failure? They are not Barcelona or Real Madrid. Losing a game will attract criticism from the media. He is not so stressed.

"I lost the semifinals, will the team have no goals this season?" asked the reporter of Marca.

Valved shook his head and said, "No, we still have a Barcelona derby."

※※※The media finally asked all the questions they prepared. Metz's players gathered together and jogged around the field to thank Metz fans in the stands.

"Go to Glasgow! Go to Hampton Park Stadium!!"

The Metz fans in the stands waved their arms and shouted neatly.

They do not have as great ambition as players, thinking of winning the championship or something. They think that being able to reach the final is a historic breakthrough - in the 75 years since Metz founded the team, he has never reached the final of a major European Cup. As for the championship, many fans have not dared to expect too much.

They just want to enjoy the joy the team brought them this night.

Chu Zhongtian was in the team, and Ribery was by his side.

The two faced the stands and waved to greet the fans above, with happy smiles on their faces.

The question of where they will be next season has not come into their minds at this moment, and now they only have the finals in their minds.

"I want to buy tickets for the poor guys in my hometown and let them go to the finals!" Ribery suddenly said to the Metz fans in the stands.

Chu Zhongtian turned his head and looked at him.

"Except for the World Cup final, this will be the most memorable game in my career. I want the guys in my hometown to watch the scene. They are all very poor, and it is impossible for them to pay for a game by themselves. Now that I have money, it is not a problem to sponsor them to watch a League Cup final." Ribery explained to Chu Zhongtian his original intention of doing this.

Chu Zhongtian nodded, and he also thought of his friends.

"I also want to invite Wimbledon's friends to visit Glasgow. They are all in the UK, so it should be very convenient to go there."

He thought of the second leg game with Tottenham. At that time, he didn't know that Boss John and the others would go to watch the game. Now they won't be allowed to pay for the game themselves. Now he makes millions of euros a year, is it still very easy to help dozens of people go to Glasgow to watch a League Cup final?

※※※The players who had celebrated on the court returned to the locker room to continue celebrating, but they saw the head coach's face.

"The time for celebration has passed, boys," said Jean Fernandez. "Calm down now... put the champagne aside, Ibi."

Ibisevic put down the champagne in his hand with a little embarrassed.

"If you just enter the final and have a carnival, how can you celebrate if you win the championship? Leave some energy until then. Don't think that entering the final is the final victory. Have you forgotten that our goal is not just to reach the League Cup final, but to win the championship!"

Everyone's expressions became serious as they said this.

"For the last step, don't go wrong. It's not too late to stick to the end. Let me go back to the hotel to rest. I'll train as usual tomorrow!"

In the past, he won the League Cup knockout stage, regardless of the league next, let Fernandez always give the team a day off and give them a good rest as a reward. But this time, he didn't do that. He wanted to let the players know that it wasn't time to celebrate relaxation.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, who returned to the hotel room, just turned on his phone and received a lot of congratulatory messages. Some friends, some reporters, and some parents and economic people.

Chu Zhongtian did not reply one by one, he only chose some replies. Then he called Boss John.

"Oh, Chu! Have you received my text message? We watched the game in the bar, it was really exciting!" Boss John was very happy to receive Chu Zhongtian's call. "Congratulations on entering the finals!"

"Thank you, boss. Also, I want to tell you something..." Then Chu Zhongtian told Boss John about his thoughts on the phone.

"Don't refuse, boss. This is my gift to all of you."

Boss John smiled and shook his head: "You said so, what else can I say? I will post a notice in the bar and ask you to see how many people are interested in going to watch your game on site. But I will remind you first, Chu. I'm afraid you will have to prepare a lot of money."

"Haha!" Chu Zhongtian laughed, "I'm not afraid, I'm still worried that you won't come!"

"No, I didn't know. Last time I just made a temporary decision, spontaneous and voluntary, and I was not prepared enough. If I go again this time, we will have to prepare more. I promise you will hear our voices at Hampton Park Stadium, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian thought of the tenacious singing in the stands of the White Hart Lane Stadium. He knew what Boss John was referring to. He smiled when he heard this.

Chu Zhongtian chatted with Boss John for a few more words and ended the call.

Next he will call Emily.

"Congratulations, my dear!" Emily's full of vitality sounded as soon as the phone was connected.

"Hey, are you watching the game?" Chu Zhongtian felt strange.

"How could I not watch such an important game?" Emily thought Chu Zhongtian's question was really nonsense. "I watched live TV."

“There are also in the United States…”

"Don't underestimate the United States!"

"Haha!" Chu Zhongtian laughed.

"The competition is very exciting, my dear." Emily continued to say after Chu Zhongtian finished laughing.

"Hehe, I'll call you, I wanted to tell you this good news. Then I invite you to watch the final."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come! And, this time, it won't be sneaky."

This night when he returned to the hotel room, Chu Zhongtian spent the phone call with Emily. It was not until bedtime that he ended the phone with Emily.

Putting down the phone and lying on the bed, Chu Zhongtian looked at the ceiling. He was excited when he thought of the League Cup final at Hampton Park Stadium and the promise of Emily to watch the game, and he looked forward to the game day coming soon.

I really didn't expect that he would be today. His life turned a corner that summer in 2002, deviated from the original track, and drove onto another high-speed track.

All of this is because of the persistent girl.

Emily's face appeared in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes, but it was not the starry-catching Emily Stan now, but the Emily Stan who was wearing a ponytail without makeup and wearing a blue T-shirt.

He suddenly remembered that the day of the League Cup final was May 16th. It was a coincidence that the first time he and Emily met was that day, but it was only that day five years ago - May 16th, 2002.

Is the meeting anniversary?...League Cup final day... It's a special day.

※※The day after the game, the entire Metz and even the entire France were talking about creating a great miracle.

Photos of Chu Zhongtian, Ribery, Menez and others frequently appear in major media, and everyone is discussing them hotly. Chu Zhongtian also has some fans outside of Metz. Fans edit clips of Chu Zhongtian playing football from videos broadcast in the league, and then integrate them together, match them with music, and put them on a famous video website to share their love for Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese player.

Chu Zhongtian can be truly said to be a star now. Although he is not an international star, he is also a star trained by Ligue 1.

Everyone is talking about the finals, and Metz's players are hoping that the finals will arrive soon.

In fact, they don't have to wait too long because the final of the League Cup is coming soon.

The second leg of the semi-finals is May 3, and the final day is May 16, which means that there are thirteen days left, and they will be able to embark on the final field they have dreamed of in two weeks.

On the day after the game, Metz's opponent in the final was also newly released. Sevilla, who lost 0-1 away to Osasuna in the first leg, defeated Osasuna 2-0 at home in the second leg, eliminated the team that was also La Liga 2-1 with a total score and advanced to the final.

Originally, the Spanish media believed that three La Liga teams surrounded Metz, and in the end, two La Liga teams were not realized. Metz broke out from the siege of three La Liga teams, and then he had to face the strongest of the three teams - Sevilla.

As for the two rounds of leagues before the final... who cares about that? It doesn’t matter whether it loses or wins or wins.

In the 35th round of May 6, Metz lost 0:1 to Ausselle away. In the 36th round of the league on May 10, Metz tied 2:2 at home with Rennes.

These two games made Fernandez send second-tier players, which shows his lack of attention to the league.

The main players started preparing for the finals since the semi-finals.

"Each of you has to watch and study these videos carefully." With one week left before the final, Fernandez head coach asked assistant coach David Carre to send CDs to the players, with names written in oily pens on the discs.

"Andres Palop", "Javi Navarro", "Daniel Alves", "Adriano", "Antonio Puaerta", "Enzo Maresca", "Josep Luis Marty (josep_josep_

lluis_marti", "Christian Paulsen", "jesus_navas", "duda", "javier_chevanton", "frederic_kanoute", "Luis_fabiano".
