Chapter 59: For the Glory of the Blade!
When the Sheffield Wednesday fan saw Zhang Xu's gesture, he was stunned at first, and when he reacted, he immediately became angry and wanted to scold Zhang Xu loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Zhang Xu didn't bother to quarrel with this hateful guy, and went directly into the visiting team's locker room.
"Didi! Trigger a special side quest: Score two goals in the match against Sheffield Wednesday! The task is triggered by the host and automatically accepts the task. If the mission is completed, 400 XP points will be awarded! Bonus 2 for shots, 2 for long shots, and 2 for headers! If the mission fails, 400 XP points will be deducted! Deduct 4 points for shooting attributes, 4 points for long shots, and 4 points for headers! β
Just as he pushed open the door of the locker room, the "Didi" sound of the system releasing the task suddenly sounded in his mind, and when he listened to the detailed description of the task, he was startled.
The rewards for completing quests are huge, with 400 XP and six stat points, more than double the rewards of any previous side quest. However, the punishment for failing the mission is just too severe. If the mission fails, the loss of 400 experience points is nothing, but if you have to deduct 12 attribute points, Zhang Xu will be a little unbearable.
It seems that the system is forcing itself to complete the task!
Could it be that the system is also made in China? also have the same Chinese heart as yourself? And will no one be allowed to insult their country in any form?
In that case, let's just fight for ourselves, for the motherland, and to give the Sheffield Wednesday fan who insulted me an unforgettable lesson!
Zhang Xu secretly made up his mind, and after saying hello to his teammates with a smile, he walked straight to his wardrobe.
While sorting out his clothes, Zhang Xu thought about how to complete the difficult task of scoring two goals in one game.
Even if he is a striker, it is not easy to score a brace, let alone a midfielder, and he is still a drag midfielder rather than a playmaker in the team.
Furthermore, this game is a local derby against Sheffield Wednesday, and the game is sure to be extremely intense, adding to the difficulty of scoring goals.
Although he also scored goals in front of him, he basically scored from a distance. In fact, Zhang Xu's shots and long-range shots are not very good, one is 37 points, the other is 36 points, and there is a significant gap from the average level of 50 points for strikers in League One.
Among the goal-related attribute points, the only one that can be praised, that is, his header, is as high as 59 points, which is far above the level of League One.
Therefore, if you want to score goals, headers have become Zhang Xu's only magic weapon, but if you want to score two headers in a game, it is really an incredible thing.
Well, one can only hope for a long shot!
At this time, Zhang Xu thought that his experience points were enough to upgrade two levels in a row, that is, as long as he clicked to upgrade, he could successfully obtain 10 free attribute points!
In that case, let's assign 10 free attribute points to the long-range attribute! I believe that I will definitely improve the probability of hitting my long-range shot.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu clicked the upgrade button twice in a row, and after two flashes of golden light, Zhang Xu successfully upgraded to level 28 and obtained 10 free attribute points.
He didn't hesitate to assign 10 attribute points to the long-range shot, making the long-range attribute value directly change from 36 to 46!
46 points is actually not high, but it has initially reached the level of the English League, Zhang Xu believes that with the long-range attribute of 46 points, he will definitely give the opponent an unforgettable experience.
As soon as the attribute points were assigned, the door to the locker room was pushed open, and head coach Wilson and assistant coach Elan walked in.
Wilson walked directly onto the podium, put down the tactical board, and after a serious look for a week, began the final tactical arrangements before the war, and explained some points that needed special attention.
"Alright, guys, this derby is about to begin. The starting line-up was announced yesterday, so I won't dwell on it here. Again, the importance of this game is well understood, and I won't go into details. β
'We played away from home today and Sheffield Wednesday were attacking better, so we played in a 4-5-1 two-man formation.
"First of all, the first thing I want to emphasize is defense. It's not that I'm worried about our defensive quality, I believe with our current formation we can crush Sheffield Wednesday defensively. But I still have to remind the defenders, especially Zhang, that you have a lot of work to do today, and you must build a solid defensive line in the middle and back! Wilson was the first to take Zhang Xu out and emphasize it alone.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll let them know what an impregnable wall is!" Zhang Xu stood up and shouted loudly.
"Excellent! It is necessary to have this confidence and momentum! Wilson nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Zhang Xu to sit down, and continued: "The second thing to emphasize is naturally attack!" I don't want us to have no problems at the back and then you won't score up front! β
"Boss, I'm going to tear their defenses to shreds!" Striker Evans also stood up to make a statement.
"Good! I believe in you and I believe in all our players! Finally, Wilson said in a deep voice: "Here, I have to explain one last thing." This is a derby, you must learn to protect yourself and try not to get hurt! However, if the opponent really doesn't know how to provoke him, then kill me back! We've never been a bad breed! β
"Yes, we're not bastards! We have nothing to fear! Zhang Xu suddenly stood up and was the first to shout. Then, the other teammates also stood up and yelled excitedly.
Wilson nodded and waved his right hand: "Alright, guys, for victory!" For the glory of our blades, let's go! β
"For victory! For the glory of our blades! β
"For victory! For the glory of our blades! β
.............
All the players of Sheffield United, led by captain Beatty, roared out of the dressing room one by one.
In the players' tunnel, they met the players of the Sheffield Wednesday team head-on, and the two teams were originally conflicted, and this meeting added fuel to the fire.
Fortunately, everyone is a professional player, and the players on both sides are still relatively calm and restrained, and there is no physical friction, just looking at each other coldly, either you stare at me with bull's eyes, or I pretend to be fierce and vicious as if I want to eat you in one bite.
Soon, the time for the game was approaching, and the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel in turn.
They were greeted by deafening cheers and applause.
At this time, the on-site commentator began to announce the starting lists of both sides one by one. Every time the commentator read the name of a Sheffield Wednesday player, all the Owls fans erupted in applause and cheers; And every time the name of a Sheffield United player is read, there is a long boo.
When the commentator read Zhang Xu's name, he paused deliberately: "Oh, the name of the next player in Sheffield United, forgive me for seeing such a strange name for the first time, zhang?" Or what? β
"Okay, I'll call him China Zhang for now. Just now, one of our photographers accidentally captured an image: this Chinese zhang made a 'I want to score a brace' gesture to the fans in our stands! β
"Can I take it as a provocation to our Sheffield Wednesday? Or is it dismissive of our Sheffield Wednesday? Or a declaration of war on us? Just by virtue of him a Chinese in the football desert? β
"In any case, let us welcome this arrogant Chinese Zhang with the warmest cheers!"
"China zhang! ε«ε«.......ε«ε«ε«ε«οΏ½οΏ½
As a result, a long-lasting boo rang out at Hillsborough Stadium...........
"Haha, it looks like you're more popular here!" Hearing this long boo, Williamson laughed and turned around and shouted at Zhang Xuwei behind him.
Michael, who was in front, also turned his head and asked with a surprised face: "Zhang, did you really say that you want to score two goals?" β
"Yes!" Zhang Xu briefly recounted what happened.
After the teammates heard this story, they were all angry, and the Sheffield Wednesday fans insulted Zhang Xu, which was tantamount to insulting Sheffield United, which naturally annoyed everyone.
Michael said directly: "Zhang, I support you!" If I get the chance, I'll pass the ball to you! β
"Me too!" This is Evans.
"I've got your back! ZhangοΌ "This is Williamson.
"Zhang, come on! We believe in you! 'It's Matthew, the captain on the pitch, and for a centre-back, he can only support him mentally.
..........
Zhang Xu was quite touched by the support of his teammates, but this conflicted with the tactical requirements of head coach Wilson, of course Zhang Xu couldn't let his teammates do this, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you, but let's do it according to the tactical arrangement of coach Mr. Wilson, otherwise if we lose, the boss will not let me go of the culprit." β
"Haha, okay! However, we will still take good care of you when you have the opportunity, so you must seize the opportunity when the time comes! β
Everyone laughed, and under the leadership of captain Matthew, they lined up in front of the rostrum with the members of the Sheffield Wednesday team.
After that, it is a series of procedures such as singing the team song, and finally, the players of both sides enter their respective halves, stand in formation, and wait for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.
"Beep!"
Just after 1:05 p.m., the referee confirmed that both sides were ready, and immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.
This eye-catching Super City Derby, which is also the focal point of the league's second and third places, has officially kicked off......
