Chapter 107: Zhang Xu, who is in a ruin
The time of the break was soon over, and all the Deportivo players had an unyielding fire burning on their faces, as if they were going to completely burn the opposite Valencia to ashes!
A whistle blew and the second half began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the start of the second half, Valencia, who had two goals in hand, seemed to enter a slow state again, slow with the ball, and a little soft passing, even the attack did not seem to be so resolute, once it encountered difficulties, it was back to find opportunities again.
On the contrary, Deportivo La Coruna, who has long been fierce and difficult to score goals, is not only much more resolute in defense, but also very active in attack.
Zhang Xu shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the fate of the team, and in order to complete this difficult task and mission, he exerted all his energy just like in the game between Sheffield United and Birmingham.
At this time, he no longer thinks about whether his offensive attributes are very strong, his skills are still very rough, etc., and his only thought is: not to let Valencia continue to score, and at the same time to equalize or even overtake the score!
Zhang Xu, who burst out with all his energy, was very terrifying, his speed of up to 95 points and 92 points of endurance were enough for him to run the entire stadium.
In fact, Zhang Xu did just that.
As long as there is a ball, you will definitely be able to see his shadow, as long as it is the most conducive place to pass and receive the ball, Zhang Xu will always run quickly in place.
Although such a fast running regardless of physical fitness is a huge challenge even for Zhang Xu, who has super physical fitness, these are not in Zhang Xu's consideration at all.
At the moment, in his mind, there is only one thing: a little faster, a little faster, adjust the pace of the team to the fastest, and then launch the most rapid attack on Valencia, tear through their defense, and pour the football into their goal.
At the beginning of the second half, although Zhang Xu worked hard, because his offensive organization was not very skilled, and there was still a long way to go from the level of Belleron, the team's overall attack was a bit messy, and the offensive effect was not very obvious.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xu, who is good at learning and summarizing experience, began to adjust his offensive organization, play his strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to the passing he is good at, and avoid some actions that he is not good at at all, such as dribbling or passing.
In this way, Zhang Xu's offensive organization has become a little different from Belleron. Under his organization, the players had to run fast in order to receive his passes; And in order to get the football to his feet at the right time, he also had to run fast and pass the ball quickly, so that the whole Deportivo attack rhythm became fast all at once.
Although because of the fast pace, the mistake of passing and receiving the ball will reduce the efficiency of the attack, but the number of attacks has greatly increased, the number of effective attacks has also increased greatly, and the opportunities have also increased greatly!
In the fifty-eighth minute of the game, Zhang Xu saw that Gago was a little slow with the ball, he immediately approached at high speed, and took advantage of the moment before the opponent had time to react, and stabbed the football at Gago's feet with one kick.
The football was controlled by Marchena, he didn't dribble the ball, and pushed directly with the arch of his foot, and gave the football to Zhang Xu, who had already run to the receiving position.
Zhang Xu pulled his right foot, turned around, and then made another push pass, giving the football to Aguilar on the right, and he crossed over to meet and force his Tino to catch the ball again.
When he just arrived at the position, the football also appeared accurately at his feet again, Zhang Xu leaned on his right foot, and then pulled and pushed with his left foot, and the football rolled towards Thomas who responded in the middle.
Thomas, who has always liked to break through with the ball, did not dribble this time, but deftly grabbed the defender before he could make a move, poked the ball with his toe, and gave the ball to the forward forward - Ricky.
Ricky was marked by two defenders, and it was impossible to form an effective breakthrough, so he had to push with his right foot and pass diagonally back to Zhang Xu's feet.
Zhang Xu picked up his right leg and made a long-range shot.
After Zhang Xu hit the earth-shattering long-range shot that almost caused the goal in the first half, all the players in Valencia paid more attention to Zhang Xu's long-range shot.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xu made this long-range shot now, it immediately attracted the attention of three Valencia defenders, one rushed up to block the gun's eye, one stretched out his right leg to block the middle of Zhang Xu and the goal, and one turned his body and used his body to block the angle of the shot.
Seeing that his feints achieved such an effect, Zhang Xu's heart was also happy, and he hurriedly changed his shot to a pick-up pass, and hoisted the football to the center of the big penalty area.
It was an overhead pass, so Ricky began to quickly intersperse behind the defender when Zhang Xu picked up the pass, and when the ball fell, Ricky just came to the back of the ball.
Ricky didn't stop the ball, he didn't have time to stop it, the defender who was marking him was only half a body behind him, and if he did, he would have lost his best chance to shoot.
So, he picked up his right leg and shot it directly!
Ricky's shot, the ball flew against the turf, and the angle was very tricky, so Valencia's goalkeeper Alves couldn't save at all, although he had completely stretched his body, but the ball still passed under his palm and into the goal behind him!
The ball is in! 1:2!
Deportivo La Coruna, with Zhang Xu's unremitting efforts, finally assisted Ricky to pull back a goal!
"Ahhh!!hhh Seeing the football fly into the net, Zhang Xu suddenly raised his hands and roared up to the sky.
And Ricky, who scored the goal, was ecstatic and ran to Zhang Xu, who was roaring, and hugged Zhang Xu tightly: "Zhang, we scored, haha!" We've got a goal back! ”
Other teammates also surrounded Zhang Xu and hugged Zhang Xu tightly. They yelled and shouted with glee, as if they had already won the game.
"Brothers, we are one goal away from equalizing, let's try hard and kill the Bat Army!" Zhang Xu laughed and said to his teammates around him.
"Haha, Zhang, you're right, kill the Bat Legion!"
"it! Ha ha! Zhang, this feeling is so refreshing! ”
"That's right,! We still want to win! Let's go! ”
...........
Seeing that the team finally scored in an extremely difficult situation, head coach Ortra immediately jumped up excitedly, his right hand clenched and waved in the air, as if to completely shatter the depression of the first half.
The assistant coaches and the bench players also ran out of their seats, yelling and screaming one by one, releasing the ecstasy in their hearts.
"Mr. Ortra, I didn't expect that, he really did it! It's amazing! It's incredible! The assistant coach came to the side of the excited head coach Altra and praised him from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, this is Zhang's potential, this is the huge energy hidden deep in Zhang's body! Look at it, I'm sure he'll have a better performance! Ortra nodded, looking at Zhang Xu with admiration in his eyes.
While Deportivo was rejoicing at the goal, the Valencia fans were gone.
They first erupted in earth-shattering boos, and then began to abuse and insult every player in Deportivo La Coruna, and many Valencia fans also threw hard objects in their hands at the dugout and the bench to put pressure on Deportivo La Coruna.
Even the commentators on the scene began to show great hostility towards Deportivo La Coruna: "Deportivo La Coruna, who couldn't imagine that there was one less person, successfully attacked Valencia and pulled back a goal under the leadership of an unknown Chinese boy." Still, I guess, it was just a flash in the pan! ”
"We saw that the Chinese kid had been running at high speed for more than ten minutes in the second half, and I think his physical strength has been completely exhausted at the moment, and in the later games, he will definitely be beaten by the powerful Valencia when he is in a physical crisis!"
Despite the boos from the Valencia fans and the downbeat of the commentators, it was a huge morale boost to the team. Now, every Deportivo player has a huge motivation and hope for an equaliser.
At the same time, they also trust and admire Zhang Xu more.
In fact, the players of Deportivo La Coruna still have some opinions about the head coach's positioning of Zhang Xu as the second core of the team in such a short period of time, and they believe that Zhang Xu's strength is not enough to take on such an important responsibility.
However, because Zhang Xu has always been very modest and his strength is really strong, coupled with Zhang Xu's completely lifeless training, his teammates do not have too many thoughts and opinions in their hearts.
Although he has no idea, it does not mean that he completely trusts Zhang Xu.
Later, after a series of friendly matches and the first league game, the players' concept of Zhang Xu has changed a lot, and they no longer exclude Zhang Xu as the second core of the team, but it is still not enough to reach the same level as Belleron.
But today, when the team was two goals behind and sent off one man, Zhang Xu stepped forward and single-handedly dragged the team out of the abyss of defeat, which conquered the hearts of his teammates at once.
At this point, the last bit of estrangement between Zhang Xu and his teammates has completely disappeared, and the whole team has finally formed a complete whole, and the strength of the team has improved by at least three layers.
So after the game continued, although Valencia had begun to be alert and attach importance to Zhang Xu's role, Deportivo La Coruna's attack was still very sharp under the leadership of Zhang Xu.
