Early the next morning, Zhang Xu threw the matter of Morales out of the clouds, and as usual, he got up early, ran in the morning, had breakfast, and went to the club to train, everything was still the same, without the slightest change. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the eighth round of the league against Barcelona, Deportivo La Coruna has 15 points and is in fourth place in the standings. The top three are Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga.

Deportivo have been able to sit in fourth place in the last eight rounds of the league, which has greatly surprised many, especially some veteran football commentators.

In order to find out why Deportivo La Coruna was able to perform so well, these commentators called up the video footage of Deportivo La Coruna's eight games and studied them carefully.

After research, they found that in the eight matches of Deportivo La Coruna, China Zhang, played the role of a game-breaker.

Whenever Deportivo La Coruna encounters difficulties and cannot open the situation, China Zhang will step up and use his super defensive ability and strong offensive organization ability to help the team establish a solid defense and create goals.

In eight games, Zhang Xu did not score many goals, only 4, but each one was more valuable than gold; He's got a staggering seven assists, one in almost every game, and that assist efficiency has put countless attacking forwards to shame.

From this data, it can be seen that the importance of Chinese zhang to A Coruña! Suffice it to say, without China Zhang there would be no Deportivo La Coruna's fourth-place finish in eight rounds of the league!

Then, restricting the play of Chinese Zhang in the game is equivalent to jamming Deportivo La Coruna's neck!

After reaching this conclusion, many senior football commentators began to advocate the tactics and playing style of clamping down on China Zhang in major sports media.

These articles by so-called "senior" commentators were quickly taken into account by many well-intentioned people on the team, and began to try to implement them.

For example, Deportivo La Coruna will face the ninth round of the league today: Celta vs Deportivo La Coruna.

Celta de Vigo coach Sergio Herrera has been unhappy lately, as the team is a promotion team in La Liga, just like Deportivo La Coruna, but the two teams have had different experiences.

Deportivo La Coruna, with the help of Zhang Xu, except for the away defeat to the mighty Real Madrid. The other matches were either draws or wins, and the league points reached 15 points, ranking fourth.

Their own side, Celta, have won only three games and lost the other five. With 9 points, it ranked 13th.

After reading the articles of those "senior" football commentators, he also thought so, and for this reason, in order to limit the play of China Zhang in the next game. He deliberately developed a set of tactics that he hoped would be effective in the game.

Today is October 27th, 2012, the weather is clear, the temperature is suitable, and the breeze is blowing, so it is a good day.

When Zhang Xu and his teammates arrived at the Baradus Stadium by bus, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

As usual, Ortra was the first to get off and clear the way for the players. Then captain Belleron, second captain Zhang Xu and others stepped off the bus one after another.

That's right, Captain 2! Zhang Xu after the Barcelona game. Directly appointed by Ortra as the second captain of the team!

When Ortra announced the decision, the players were a little surprised, but they were not in the slightest. After all, Zhang Xu has served as the captain of the field several times, and his performance is not bad every time, oh no, not bad, but very brilliant!

Now, everyone in the team has a feeling of being convinced by Zhang Xu, so Zhang Xu naturally became the second captain.

"Hello. Zhang, I'm a reporter for the newspaper As, and now a lot of commentators think that as long as you are restricted. Can beat A Coruña, do you have anything to say about that? Although there were stadium security personnel separating reporters from the players, the ubiquitous reporters still found an opportunity to hand the microphone to Zhang Xu.

"Limit me?" Zhang Xu was a little confused, he rarely watched TV and newspapers, and he didn't know anything about the articles of these commentators.

Seeing that Zhang Xu was not very clear about the commentator's article, the reporter briefly explained.

"Oh. That's right! Zhang Xu understood after listening, he couldn't help laughing, in his opinion, the most important role for the team is to play a role in defense, limiting him? Do you go to limit a defensive player? Isn't that a little too funny?

So, Zhang Xu smiled mysteriously at the reporter: "Okay, what they said is not right, so we will verify the competition!" ”

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the ninth round of the league officially began.

As soon as the game began, Celta's players began to look for Zhang Xu, because this was a tactic formulated by head coach Herrera.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Xu honestly stood in the position of the back and helped the team establish a solid defensive line.

To limit him? Is there any mistake in restricting a midfielder, this is ridiculous!

As a result, Celta's players were a little confused, and the formation was chaotic.

Celta is messed up, and Deportivo will naturally not be polite.

In the eighth minute of the game, Zhang Xu took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent broke through with the ball, cut off the opponent's football with one kick, and then pushed it to Marchena.

Marchena didn't stop the ball and he sent it straight to Thomas in front.

That's right, in this game, Thomas started in place of Belleron. After the last game, captain Belleron was a bit old and feeling a little tired after all, so Ortra deliberately let him rest.

Also starting was striker Ortra, who replaced Pizzi.

When Thomas got the ball, he realized that there were no players around him, so he began to move forward with the ball.

Soon waded through the middle line, and after being entangled by the opponent, he directly pushed the football to Zhang Xu, the captain of the field who answered on the left.

Zhang Xu's catch immediately attracted the attention of the three Celta players, and they rushed over like hungry wolves.

Zhang Xu smiled slightly, did not carry the ball, and pushed the arch of his foot to return the ball to Thomas.

Because Zhang Xu attracted three Celta players, Thomas was no longer marked, and he easily took the ball and quickly inserted it into Celta's hinterland.

Celta's defenders stepped up, and after Thomas changed direction to dribble the ball, he suddenly passed the ball with a through kick.

Oliveira successfully countered offside, faced the attacking goalkeeper, and easily swept into the net! 1:0！

After a goal in hand, Deportivo became more and more courageous, and Celta's head coach Herrera found that the tactics of restricting Zhang Xu were in vain, so he had to temporarily adjust his tactics and return to the team's normal style of play.

However, this kind of temporary tactical adjustment is often accompanied by temporary confusion in the formation, and it is also painful.

For example, in the seventeenth minute of the game, which was the crucial time for Celta's formation adjustment, Celta experienced another pain.

It was Zhang Xu's steal, when he crossed from the opponent's side, he used his unparalleled header to stop the football and give it to defender Castro.

Castro kicked the ball directly to Aguilar on the wing. After Aguilar got the ball, he started to run wildly, crossed the halfway line, shook past the opposing wing-backs, and only stopped when the opposing full-backs intercepted him.

Aguilar pushed the ball to Ricky, who took the ball and quickly pushed the ball in the middle, and in the process of advancing, he saw that Thomas had come to an open position, and immediately pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and passed the ball out.

Thomas met the football with another beautiful through ball, tearing apart Celta's backline again, Ricky just ran to the position, and met the ball with a powerful shot!

The shot was powerful and so close to the goal that Celta's goalkeeper Alvarez didn't have time to react before he saw that the ball had flown into the net!

2:0！ With less than 20 minutes to go into the first half, Deportivo La Coruna was already two goals ahead!

However, Celta's tactical adjustments have also ended, the problem of formation confusion has been resolved, and the Celta fans at the Stadio de Valadus have also aroused the fighting spirit of the Celta players with extremely high singing voices in order to save the team's situation.

Under such circumstances, the two sides entered a relatively balanced state.

Soon, the first half of the game ended in this stalemate.

In the second half, Celta launched a tidal attack at the beginning of the game, but under Zhang Xu's calm scheduling, Deportivo Deportivo's back line was as stable as a mountain, and Celta did not give Celta the slightest chance.

On the contrary, under Zhang Xu's organization, Deportivo La Coruna's offensive rhythm was fast and slow, which made Celta very uncomfortable, and Zhang Xu's teammates have long been familiar with Zhang Xu's organization, so there is no discomfort, as long as they see Zhang Xu play an offensive gesture, they will fully cooperate with Zhang Xu, speed up the speed of passing and receiving the ball, and play a fierce attack.

For example, in the 67th minute of the game, Zhang Xu saw that Celta's formation was a little loose, so he suddenly accelerated the rhythm of passing and receiving the ball, using his unparalleled speed to quickly intersperse, and attacked Celta's goal with three strikes and five divisions.

This time, Celta was caught off guard, and before the players in the back line could form a solid defensive line, they saw that Zhang Xu had already passed a fatal through ball!

Oliveira scored twice to help the team achieve a 3-0 score!

After having three goals in hand, in order to preserve his strength, Ortra began to adjust the personnel, replacing several old players with young players to train newcomers.

In the final moments of the game, Celta finally took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to score a face-saving goal, and the game finally came to an end.

Deportivo La Coruna scored three points away from home to 18 points! Third in the league standings! (To be continued.) )
