What a harvest!

A symphony concert not only solved the problem of the team's mentality, but also allowed Zhang Xu to successfully break through the ultimate mystery "control the rhythm" skill and reach the highest level of perfection!

This made Wenger and Zhang Xu a little surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that the team had completely returned to normal, Wenger immediately decided that after the team bus returned to the club, he directly announced a day and a half off.

"Wow! Ha ha! Thank you, Chief! Ramsey and his teammates cheered, grabbed their buses and ran to their cars, ready to enjoy the rare day and a half of rest.

"Zhang, you stay!" When Zhang Xu was also about to drive home, Wenger stopped Zhang Xu.

"What's the matter? Mr. Zhang Xu asked suspiciously.

"Can you tell me about what you learned at the concert?" Wenger asked directly.

"Uh-uh, well," Zhang Xu didn't know how to express the level of the ultimate mystery "Control Rhythm" skill in the system, so he had to roughly explain: "I just think that there is one thing that is very important in a game, and that is rhythm!" And this is precisely the most important thing in music, if we control the rhythm, just like the orchestra conductor, control the music, of course, music is not used to control, but at that time, music can be controlled, only music that controls the rhythm, can it look so beautiful! And if we control the tempo of the game, then our team will be invincible! ”

"How did you learn such a profound thing from the concert?" Wenger was completely stunned by the amount of information in Zhang Xu's words, he never thought that Zhang Xu had reached such a point now!

Take control of the pace! This is a particularly difficult but important thing for countless playmakers in the midfield. It can be said that as long as you control the rhythm of the game, you are equivalent to controlling the direction of the game! Win or lose!

And now, Zhang Xu actually told him that he had understood the mystery of controlling the rhythm, which could not help but surprise and delight Wenger.

"Zhang, I really think you're a rare genius! You'll be the brightest football superstar on the planet! I have this confidence! Arsene Wenger gave him a heartfelt compliment.

"Haha, thank you, sir! However, I feel like I need to work harder! Zhang Xu smiled and said modestly.

"Excellent! Zhang, I hope you can keep this mentality, then you will be at the top of world football in the shortest possible time! Wenger patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and encouraged.

"I will!" Zhang Xu nodded and said.

At 7:45 p.m. on December 17, 2013, the highlight of the English League Cup quarter-finals, Arsenal's away game against Sunderland kicked off at Sunderland's home stadium of Light.

The League Cup has not been taken seriously by Wenger, but because of Zhang Xu's insistence, Wenger also paid enough attention to this game, so Wenger sent most of the main lineup in this game.

Arsenal's line-up is still the familiar 3-2-3-2: goalkeeper 1-Szczesny; Defenders No. 3 - Sagna, No. 6 - Koscielny, No. 4 - Medsak; Back No. 18 Zhang Xu and No. 17 - Monreal; The midfielders are No. 16 Ramsey, No. 11 Ozil, No. 10 Wilshere; Forwards 14 Theo Walcott and 12 Giroud.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xu seemed to be extremely active, frequently cutting forward, actively organizing, and defending tightly, and soon, he used his strong perfection-level ultimate mystery "control the rhythm" skill to firmly control the rhythm of the game in his own hands.

In the seventh minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a pre-judgment steal near the middle line, and directly destroyed a pass from the opponent.

The ball came to the feet of Mesut Ozil, who, after taking the ball, quickly turned and stepped forward. Soon, he came to a distance of less than ten meters from the big forbidden area.

Sunderland's midfielders and defenders stepped up in time to stop in front of Ozil, who did not continue to break through, but hooked his left foot and sent the football to the feet of Zhang Xu, who was receiving in the middle.

Zhang Xu saw that there was an empty space in front of him, and he didn't dribble the ball, and he shot angrily at the football!

It was over forty yards away! But Zhang Xu's strength is so terrifying that the football was almost kicked directly by him!

A crisp "bang" sound sounded at the Stadium of Light, and then the ball flew directly to the upper right corner of the ball with a disemboweled cannonball!

Sunderland's goalkeeper was obviously unprepared, he didn't expect Zhang Xu to start shooting from such a distance! So when he saw the football flying, he was still standing two meters outside the goal and didn't move.

It wasn't until he heard a loud "bang" that he realized that the football had pounced on him, he quickly moved a step to the right, and then quickly jumped up and pounced on the flying football.

However, his pace was still a step slower, and the ball went straight past his outstretched hands and fell quickly towards the goal.

After a "swish", the football entered the net!

The ball is in! 1 to 0! Zhang Xu's super long-range shot immediately opened the door of Sunderland and Arsenal's victory!

After taking a one-goal lead, Zhang Xu played more smoothly, and he has now completely controlled the pace of the game in his own hands.

In this case, Sunderland was completely reduced to a passive target.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again, after he broke the ball in the backfield, he directly made a long pass and accurately sent the football to the feet of Giroud in front.

Giroud took the ball forward and burst into the box, then he leaned on the opposition defender and swept the ball to the ground!

The ball hit the outstretched foot of the opposing defender and was easily taken by the opposing goalkeeper.

In the twenty-seventh minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu, who pushed the football to Ramsey on the right side with a push with his right foot after playing twice with Wilshere in the front court.

Ramsey crosses directly, Walcott grabs the point in the middle and stabs it with his toes!

It's just that his stab angle was too positive, and he stabbed the football directly into the arms of the opposing goalkeeper.

In the forty-third minute of the game, Zhang Xu's efforts finally paid off.

After he broke the ball at the back, he gave the ball to Mesut Ozil, who in turn gave it to Wilshere in the middle.

Wilshere immediately stepped forward with the football, and after being marked by the opposition, he pushed the ball with his right foot and pushed it to Ramsey.

Ramsey also didn't stop the ball and sent the ball to Walcott's feet with a diagonal pass.

After Walcoat cut into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, he suddenly kicked it back!

Giroud shoots straight down the middle!

Football hits the net!

Two to zero!

After the rematch in the second half, Zhang Xu played more and more fiercely, and Sunderland saw that there was no hope of equalizing, so they simply played turtle tactics.

Turtle breaking tactics have always been a problem in world football, so Zhang Xu has no good way, so he can only frequently use set-pieces and long-range opportunities to see if he can break Sunderland's turtle shell.

Zhang Xu's efforts were still effective, and in the 73rd minute of the game, a free kick from Ozil was sent directly to Zhang Xu's head.

Zhang Xu's header rubbed to Walcott at the back point, and the unmarked Walcott pushed the empty goal!

Three to zero! Arsenal seal the win!

At the same time, they also successfully entered the semi-finals of the League Cup! Will compete with Manchester United for a place in the final! (To be continued.) )
