Then comes the free questioning phase. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are many news media who came to the press conference today, from the local tabloids of A Coruña, to the major Spanish sports media, such as Marca, As, Daily Sports, World Sports, and Radio Serre. There are also major media outlets, such as El País, Le Monde and ABC.

The first to ask a question was a reporter from El País, who stood up and asked: "Hello, Zhang, I'm Rivas, journalist from El País, welcome to beautiful A Coruña!" My question is: I heard that you were just an amateur a year ago, what made you go from being an amateur to a professional in the top flight in one year? ”

Zhang Xu smiled slightly: "Dream!" A heart that never stops pursuing dreams! That's what I believe! I have been rejected, discriminated against, scolded and even beaten, but I have never given up on my dream! In the end, through my own efforts, I have come to this point step by step! ”

"Thank you! You are a person to be admired! Rivas gave a heartfelt thumbs up and sat down.

"Hello, I'm Marca's reporter Marty, may I ask Zhang, are you a member of the Chinese national team?"

"It's not!" Zhang Xu responded calmly.

"You haven't even been able to join the national team, so what do you do to base yourself on Deportivo La Coruna, which is already in La Liga?"

Faced with such an aggressive question, Zhang Xu smiled: "I want to ask this Mr. reporter what is his name, there are so many places in the Spanish national team every year, is it that players who have not joined the Spanish national team can't play in La Liga?" ”

The reporter named Marty immediately countered: "Sorry, Zhang, we Spain are world champions, what about you China?" What is the world ranking? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Reporter, then why did the Spanish team, ranked No. 1 in the world, score only one goal for our Chinese team in the friendly match not long ago?" Zhang Xu was still smiling, but his eyes showed a sharp light.

"This, this ........." Marty was speechless, the performance of the Chinese team in that game was really good, and various media praised the Chinese team, so he naturally did not dare to deny it.

"Alright, next!" The press officer duly interrupted the uncomfortable topic.

"Hello, Zhang, I'm Piati, a reporter for the newspaper As, what do you think of the current A Coruña?"

Zhang Xu and José Ortra glanced at each other, and then slowly replied: "I am honored to join the great Deportivo La Coruna. It is undeniable that Deportivo La Coruna has appeared in La Liga as a promoted horse this season, but every one of our 'Super Laco' players is confident that they will strive for a good result this season! ”

"When you say this good result, do you mean .....?"

"It's a good achievement, it's like someone else buys a Ferrari and we buy a Mercedes!" Zhang Xu smiled and made a puzzling analogy.

Piati naturally couldn't figure it out, he thought about it in a daze for a long time, and he didn't understand what Zhang Xu's words had to do with his question, and he didn't understand what it meant.

When he wanted to ask further questions, he was automatically skipped by the press officer and called the next reporter.

The press conference did not last long, and after about 40 minutes, the press officer saw that there were no more questions from reporters, so he immediately announced the end of the press conference.

"Zhang, you did a good job answering questions!" On the way back to the training ground, head coach Ortra praised Zhang Xu.

"Don't forget, boss, I'm a super student at the University of Paris VI!" Zhang Xu deliberately said triumphantly.

"Haha, get out of here, you still kicked it when you said you were fat!" Ortra burst out laughing.

Back at the training ground, Zhang Xu immediately joined the team according to Ortra's request and threw himself into intense training.

Today is the 16th of July, and the formation of the team has not yet been fully decided. There are several reasons for this, one is because Zhang Xu has not been able to report for a long time, and the second is because after the team was promoted, a lot of powerful players were introduced, of course, most of them were on loan, but they still caused a certain impact on the team formation that they were familiar with before, and the third is that in the face of various strong teams in La Liga, the weak Deportivo La Coruna can no longer play offensive football as willfully as in La Liga, and must strengthen the defensive strength, otherwise it will die an ugly death in the new season.

In order to practice the formation, the team arranged seven friendly matches before the start of the season!

Seven friendlies, which is rare among teams in the top flight. This is enough to reflect the determination and sense of urgency of the team to rebuild the new formation.

In this case, the team's daily training focuses on the formation drill, and there are basically one or two intra-team matches every day.

For example, today, Zhang Xu just joined the team, and he happened to encounter the group competition. Zhang Xu was assigned to the bench team.

"Hi Zhang, it's me, Oliveira!" As soon as he joined the substitute team, before he could stand in formation, he saw Oliveira in front of him waving and shouting at him.

Zhang Xu smiled at him, and then according to the meaning of head coach Ortra, he stood in the position of the back midfield.

The substitutes played in a standard 4-4-2 formation with just one midfielder.

The race was soon underway.

The main team followed the style of attacking football played in La Liga last season, and launched a frenzied attacking frenzy against the substitutes from the beginning.

This kind of intra-team confrontation has been played many times before Zhang Xu came, and almost every time it is the main team that abuses the substitute team. But today, things are different.

In the second minute of the game, the No. 14 Aguilar of the main team crossed the halfway line with the ball and cut diagonally all the way to the heart of the substitute team.

However, before he ran a few steps, he was directly cut off from the connection between him and the football by Zhang Xu's accurate card position, and the football was naturally controlled by Zhang Xu.

"Nice defense!" Seeing this neat steal, head coach Ortra, who was watching from the sidelines, applauded loudly.

In the fifth minute of the game, the substitute team conceded a goal in the opponent's half, and the main team, under the leadership of captain Belleron, crossed the halfway line again and killed the substitute team as a whole.

Zhang Xu greeted him unhurriedly, paying attention to Belleron's route and habits with the ball, and paying attention to the running positions of the other players of the main team.

As a former Spain international, as a member of the former "Super Laco" dynasty, Belleron's quality is unquestionable, and what he is best at is through balls. Some people even compare him with French superstar Zidane, saying that if Zidane, who is the second in the world, then the first must be Belleron!

After Belleron was intercepted by Zhang Xu, he couldn't get rid of Zhang Xu's defense at all, so he had no choice but to push the arch of his right foot and prepare to send the ball to No. 16 Gama, who was about ten meters in front of him.

The ball was passed, but it didn't roll very fast.

At this time, Zhang Xu suddenly started at high speed, like lightning, and quickly caught up with the rolling football, and then stabbed the football to the No. 8 Santos who received the ball before Gama got the ball.

"What an amazing explosiveness, such a terrifying speed!" Captain Belleron looked at Zhang Xu who was running fast in surprise and sighed.

In the ninth minute of the game, the main team made a comeback again, this time they learned their lesson, no longer had close contact with Zhang Xu, but used fast passing to catch the ball and quickly hit the heart of the substitute team.

However, Zhang Xu is not helpless about this, and under his active running, he organized the defenders of the substitute team little by little to form a relatively complete whole.

When the main team enters the hinterland, the strength of this overall defense is revealed. First, No. 17 Ayoze withstood the pace of 10 Thomas, then No. 8 Santos stared at captain Belleron, and finally, Zhang Xu fell to the ground and tackled at the right time, interrupting the main team's series of quick passes.

However, the main team also got a corner kick opportunity.

Aguilar sent a corner kick that flew in a flat and fast way, with No. 9 Pizzi, No. 11 Ricky, No. 10 Thomas, and even No. 16 Gama jumping up for the corner.

However, the height and accuracy of their jumps are far from comparable to Zhang Xu's amazing bounce and excellent header. Zhang Xu swung his head with a beautiful lion, easily pushed the football out of the penalty area, and then was cleared by No. 8 Santos.

It's been ten minutes, and he hasn't scored a goal, which has never happened in previous confrontations.

While the teammates were impressed by Zhang Xu's strong defensive ability, they also began to admit Zhang Xu's position as the main midfielder from their hearts.

This world is so realistic, as long as you are strong enough, you will definitely be recognized by others! In just ten minutes, Zhang Xu successfully blocked four threatening attacks by the main team, and his performance was extremely good.

In this way, the most intuitive change is that the players of the main team no longer dare to break through with the ball in front of Zhang Xu; The players of the substitute team fully recognized Zhang Xu's strength and began to take the initiative to hand over the football to Zhang Xu's feet, and Zhang Xu decided to attack or defend.

In the fourteenth minute of the game, when the first half of the confrontation was about to end, Zhang Xu received a return pass from No. 8 Santos near the middle line, suddenly stepped forward, crossed the middle line, and killed the hinterland of the main team at high speed.

Soon, No. 14 Aguilar came up to the top of the head.

Zhang Xu paused at his feet, and then with a toe pick, he picked the football over Aguilar's head and passed it to the feet of No. 25 Oliveira, who was waiting in front.

Oliveira was already standing on the edge of the penalty area, and he was leaning back to the main team's defender No. 6 Aitami, and suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, ready to break through from the left side of Aitami.

However, Atami didn't let him get his wish, and poked the tip of his right foot and stabbed the football off.

But the ball didn't roll far, and it was just picked up by Zhang Xu, who was rushing towards him. He didn't stop the ball, but directly picked up his right leg and pumped it the ball!

There was a loud bang!

The ball flew past Etami's side like a bolt of lightning, whipping up a gust of wind and hanging in the top right corner of the goal!

"Bang!" Another bang!

The ball hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced off the penalty area!

The ball - didn't go in!
