Away team locker room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Zhang Xu and his teammates returned to the locker room, they sat down, checked their equipment, and made final preparations.
Head coach Ortra pushed open the door to the dressing room and walked in.
He put the tactical board directly on the podium, then clapped his hands, and after focusing everyone's attention on him, he said in a deep voice; "Alright, guys, the game is about to start!"
"First of all, I have to thank everyone who has followed me all the way and witnessed the ups and downs of Deportivo La Coruna in this league and thank you for the outstanding contribution you have made to the team! Thank you! With that, Ortra solemnly bowed to the players on the scene.
"Boss, this is what we should do! It's just a pity that we haven't done well enough! As the captain, Belleron was the first to stand up and said loudly: "We are honored and proud to have a manager like you!" You say, don't you? β
"Yes!" "A must!" ...........
Zhang Xu jumped up and asked suspiciously, "Boss, why are you so sensational?" It gave me goosebumps all over my body! β
"Get out!" Ortra couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"Hahahaha!" The other team members were also amused by Zhang Xu.
"Secondly," Ortra continued, recovering his face, "and now we are fourth in the league, which is very good for a promoted horse like us! Like they say, we're a good dark horse with the potential to be a black horse! β
"However, what is our strength, we know very well in our hearts, without zhang, it would be difficult for us to get to where we are now! So, I have to thank Zhang! It was he who brought us victory and joy! β
"Boss, how do I feel that you want me to kill and set fire now? You're about to praise me to the sky! Zhang Xu put on a scared look, which once again made everyone burst into laughter, and the feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred just now because the head coach focused on praising Zhang Xu also came to naught.
"Okay. I can see it! Ortra couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You're not going to let me talk well?" β
"Okay, I'm getting to the point. Finally, today's game, a lot of people think it's very important. But for me and everyone, it's just an ordinary league, even if we lose, we just lose a league game, we don't want three points. Still fourth in the league! β
Ortra looked at the players who were lost in thought, and continued: "I know that all kinds of comments from the outside world have put a lot of pressure on everyone! Uh-uh, of course, with the exception of Zhang who has no heart and lungs, he is a pervert! β
"Haha!" The teammates burst into laughter again.
"So, the purpose of me saying this is to get everyone in the right frame of mind, to face this game with a normal mentality, to play at a normal level. Then no matter what the outcome of the game is, you have already won! β
Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head to Zhang Xu and said, "However, Zhang you are an exception!" I know that your demonic heart can withstand it, and I ask you to show 200% of your strength today, and use your unparalleled strength to rush Barcelona to all parts for me! Is there a problem? β
"Don't worry, you can just watch me! But why treat them differently? I want to be calm, too! Zhang Xu made an innocent expression.
"Get out!" Ortra cursed again. Then he picked up the tactics board and said, "Alright, now I'll announce the starting lineup, goalkeeper: Alzubia." Fullback......... Captain on the field, Belleron! β
"Boss, can I interject?" Belleron raised his hand and asked.
"Say it! What's wrong? Ortra asked, a little strangely.
"I suggest that the captain change to Zhang, I think he will definitely do better than me. Besides, he's already a competent captain on the field! I'm sure he's mature enough! Belleron looked at Zhang Xu and said in a firm tone.
Zhang Xu was stunned at first, in the past, as long as Belleron was there, he played as the captain on the field, what happened today?
Soon, he saw the expectation and trust in Belleron's eyes, which couldn't help but make him feel an indescribable pride and strength in his heart.
"Boss, since the captain trusts me so much, then I'll be the captain on the spot! I will definitely live up to the captain's expectations of me! Zhang Xu was not hypocritical, stood up directly, and said loudly.
"Good! Good! Good! Ortra said hello three times in a row, and then took the lead in applauding Zhang Xu and Belleron.
"Bang Bang!" The rest of the team also applauded.
'Good, the starting line-up has been confirmed. Now, I would like to emphasize a few more points: first, Barcelona's offensive power is very strong, we can't blindly defend, we must attack, attack resolutely, and contain Barcelona's offensive with a strong offensive! Ortra made a final emphasis:
"Second, we must also pay attention to defense, especially to keep an eye on Messi, we must not give him a chance to run, if we really can't stop him, we would rather make tactical fouls and stop him!"
"Third ................" Ortra explained everything he could think of that needed attention to every player, and finally, he said loudly: "Guys, although this is just an ordinary league, but, what are we, we are professional players, then we must have a heart to win!" A never-say-die heart! Now, what are we going to do? β
"Kill Barcelona!" Zhang Xu was the first to stand up and shouted loudly.
"yes, kill Barcelona!" "!" "It's done!" ....... The team members stood up in unison, raised their right hands, and shouted loudly.
"Excellent! Now, guys, it's up to you! Let's go! With a big wave of his hand, the players rushed out of the visiting team's locker room, led by Zhang Xu and Belleron.
In the players' tunnel, Zhang Xu ran into Messi, Iniesta and others, he smiled at the opposite side, waved his fist at them, and then walked straight behind the referee team, waiting to enter the field.
"This kid, this is a demonstration against us? Or do you want to take on a challenge? Iniesta couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Xu's movements.
"Haha, this is the Chinese zhang I know. Attaboy! I like it! Fabregas was behind him, smiling.
"Very nice lad! It would be great if he could come to Barcelona with us! Iniesta sighed.
"Haha! That's what I thought, too. Messi turned his head and said, "Anyway, there will be a chance to sit together tonight." Why don't we do his job again? β
"Okay! I agree with this suggestion! Cesc Fabregas was the first to raise his hand and express his opinion.
Iniesta looked at Messi and then at Bregas, shook his head and said, "Okay. I'll be an accomplice! β
"Haha!" Everyone burst out laughing.
"Fans and friends, we just got the starting line-up for both sides, and here I will announce it to you." Sears, the on-site commentator, took a list and said into the microphone:
"Let's take a look at the away team's list first, uh, as we expected, this list is not different from the starting list against Real Madrid last time, it seems that Mr. Ortra is going to deal with us as Real Madrid!"
The Camp Nou erupted in laughter, and no Barcelona fan would think that they were worse than Real Madrid, in their hearts. Barcelona will only be better than Real Madrid! Quite a bit stronger!
"Okay, I'm going to get down to business!" After laughing, Sears went on to announce the starting line-up: "Deportivo La Coruna's starting line-up is like this: goalkeeper....... Captain on the field, huh, zhang? It turned out to be Zhang as the captain on the field? It seems that Mr. Ortra really trusts China Zhang! We are also very much looking forward to the performance of China Zhang! β
"This is the starting line-up for the visiting team, let's take a look at our starting line-up for Barcelona! Goalkeeper: No. 1 ValdΓ©s! β
"Wow!!" The entire Camp Nou stadium suddenly erupted in a tsunami of shouts and applause.
After that, every time the on-site commentator reads the name of a Barcelona player, the Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou will respond with a frenzied shout and thunderous applause.
When Messi's name is read, the shouts and applause reach the maximum and the highest, as if welcoming the king in their minds!
Zhang Xu stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel. Listening to the waves of shouts and applause outside, I couldn't help but secretly make up my mind in my heart: in the future, no matter what, I must play in such a stadium. And called the master of such a course!
Soon, the players of both sides, led by the referee team, began to enter the field.
As they walked out of the tunnel, the Camp Nou erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. The majestic Barcelona team song also sang:
"We shouted in the stadium
We are Barcelona fans
We came from all directions
Regardless of age and skin color
Flags are flying high
.......
BarΓ§a, Barcelona! β
100,000 people singing the same song, that kind of scene is unimaginable. Even if you're not a Barcelona fan. It will make your whole body burn with blood, and you will cheer and applaud wildly with them.
In the face of such a powerful momentum, Zhang Xu was not moved at all, but he looked at the fans in the stands with an appreciative face, and waved at the stands with a smile from time to time.
"Haha, we saw Chinese Zhang waving at our fans with a smile on his face, did he think the fans were cheering for him?" After the on-site commentator Sears saw Zhang Xu's movements, he couldn't help laughing.
However, then he sighed and said, "Of course, if Zhang can join us in Barcelona, then I won't refuse, right?" β
"Haha!" Suddenly, Sears' witty remark elicited good-natured laughter from all the fans at the Camp Nou.
Yes, if China Zhang can join Barcelona, it will be a great thing indeed! (To be continued.) )
