Chapter 156: Consolidation and Improvement

The Deportivo team overtook the score away from home, which immediately aroused the hatred of the fans of Atletico Madrid, so at the Calderón stadium, the team song of the Atletico Madrid team sounded in a landslide!

Encouraged by the fans, the morale of the Atletico Madrid team slowly recovered, the team slowly entered a normal state, and the strength of the traditional European giants gradually came into play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this case, Zhang Xu's pressure gradually increased. After all, football is not a one-person sport, and no matter how strong Zhang Xu's ability is, it is limited after all.

Under the advantages of one another, Zhang Xu had already controlled the rhythm of the game, but now he felt a little uncontrollable. And Atletico Madrid, which had fallen into the underdog, gradually recovered its decline and played evenly with Deportivo La Coruna.

In the sixty-sixth minute of the game, after Suatus received a pass from his teammates, after taking a few steps with the ball, he saw that Zhang Xu was approaching at high speed, and he slightly observed the position of his teammates in the front, which was a long pass that sent the football to the front.

After a scramble in the front, Costa grabbed the first point, and he used his forehead to give the ball to teammate No. 10 Turan.

Turan also didn't stop the ball, and directly pushed with the arch of his right foot, and passed the ball diagonally to Falcao who was running forward.

At this time, Falcao finally showed the quality of a top striker, and his body first leaned to the left, attracting Aitami's attention and successfully directing Aitami's weight to his left foot.

Then, Falcao made a quick right turn, scooped the ball with his right foot, pressed against Aitami's body, turned 360 degrees, and threw Etami directly behind his body.

At this time, Falcao adjusted a little and immediately shot at goal!

The ball flashed through a bright light and appeared in the net, and Alzubia only had time to raise his hands.

2:2! Atletico Madrid, cheered on by the fans, finally stubbornly equalized the score!

See the soccer ball fly into the net. Zhang Xu could only sigh helplessly, this conceded goal has nothing to do with his own strength, if he really wants to blame, he can only blame the opponent for being too strong. The overall strength is indeed more than a step stronger than Deportivo La Coruna.

After the equaliser, Atletico Madrid's morale was boosted, and they performed even better in the cheers of the fans.

However, Zhang Xu has already sensed the danger of the team. As a result, he strengthened the team's defensive organization and used his entry-level ability to control the tempo to frequently interrupt the opposition's attacking rhythm.

As a result, although Atletico Madrid had a slight advantage on the field, they were frequently hindered in attack and failed to deliver a fatal blow to Deportivo La Coruna.

Little by little, time is consumed in this tug-of-war.

Eventually, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Deportivo La Coruna, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, drew away against the powerful Atletico Madrid! A rare point for the team!

The team currently has 26 league points. Fourth in the standings!

This position looks good, but Real Madrid in third place has six points above Deportivo La Coruna! This gap is still very large.

If Deportivo La Coruna wants to qualify for the European Champions League directly, they will have to compete with the big three in front of them, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Of course, Deportivo La Coruna can also try to secure fourth place and also qualify for the European Champions League qualifiers.

The third day after this round of league games will be the fifth round of the Copa del Rey.

In this round, Deportivo La Coruna's opponent is Serbia, which has fought twice in a row!

First of all, it's Deportivo La Coruna's home stadium.

On December 12, 2012 at 7 p.m., the game officially began.

After the last game. Zhang Xu has preliminarily mastered the entry-level control rhythm, but after all, it is only an entry, and Zhang Xu feels that there are still many deficiencies that need to be strengthened, therefore. In the next two days of training, he humbly asked the captain Belleron for advice.

Although Belleron is not yet able to teach Zhang Xu by hand, he can stand next to the training ground and patiently point out Zhang Xu's shortcomings in the midfield organization and the direction of improvement.

Two days passed like this, after the guidance of Belleron. Coupled with his dedicated training, Zhang Xu felt that he had made some progress in controlling the rhythm, but the system did not prompt him to enter the preliminary stage, and he must not have improved enough.

However, Zhang Xu is already very content, and if he can be promoted to the first level in two days, it will be too incredible.

After the start of this game, Zhang Xu took advantage of the home game to completely give full play to his ability and entry-level rhythm control skills, hoping to take the game into his own hands.

Serbia is also a traditional powerhouse in La Liga, although it cannot be compared with the top three of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, but the overall strength is still a little stronger than the current Deportivo La Coruna.

But now, Zhang Xu's ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has a unique ability to control the rhythm with one hand, it will still be very difficult for Serbia to defeat the current Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazo Stadium.

The race went the same way as expected.

Under Zhang Xu's careful organization, Deportivo gradually grasped the initiative of the game and played a beautiful offensive rhythm again and again, which made Serbia a little tired of playing away.

However, Serbia did play relatively strong, and no matter how beautiful and brilliant Deportivo attacks were, they were always able to stubbornly defuse them at the last minute.

However, as the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief and no thousand days to prevent thieves, Serbia has been passive again and again, and there will always be a loophole.

For example: it was the thirty-eighth minute of the game, not far from the end of the first half.

However, it was at this time that a slight hole finally appeared in Serbia's solid defence.

After Zhang Xu repeatedly fell in the midfield, he suddenly stepped forward, attracted two players from the opposing side to press, and then pushed the pass and gave the football to Thomas.

As soon as Thomas got the football, he was entangled by the opponent's back, and when he was about to pass it back to Zhang Xu, he saw Zhang Xu give him a gesture.

Thomas immediately comprehends a nice heel!

The ball rolled past the opponent's midfielder and went straight to Oliveira's feet! Oliveira was overjoyed and immediately turned and broke through with the ball.

However, the Serbian defender was resolute defensively, staring at Oliveira's feet and moving cautiously.

Oliveira saw that there was no chance to break through and planned to dribble horizontally.

"Right! QuickPass! ”

Zhang Xu's thunderous cry sounded in his ears, Oliveira was startled, and quickly turned around, hooked his left foot, and passed the football to his right.

At this time, he realized that Zhang Xu didn't know when, he had come to the same position as him, and was inserting at high speed.

There are two Serbian defenders in front of Zhang Xu, and it must be useless to shoot directly, but he can still pass the ball!

With a toe pick, he picked up the ball, past the two defenders in front of him, and fell directly towards the right edge of the penalty area.

Ricky arrives and shoots hard at the falling football!

Since the ball landed on the right edge of the penalty area, a little far from the goal, Ricky chose to shoot at the bottom right corner of the goal.

The ball flew low and fast, and by the time the Serbian goalkeeper stretched out his hands, the ball had already gone headlong into the net!

The ball is in! 1:0!

Deportivo La Coruna leads by one goal!

The Riazor Stadium suddenly boiled, and all the Deportivo fans cheered, and the high-pitched sound resounded throughout the stadium, reaching into the sky.

After getting the first hand, Deportivo played more smoothly under Zhang Xu's organization.

However, the time of the first half was coming quickly, so Zhang Xu could only return to the locker room with his teammates with a trace of regret that he could not expand the score.

Now, at halftime, Ortra doesn't have to do any mobilization, as long as Zhang Xu is there, the team will never worry about morale, because Zhang Xu's strong desire to fight affects the whole team anytime and anywhere.

Of course, the necessary tactical arrangements still have to be carried out.

Ortra did not make personnel adjustments, but only praised several players who performed outstandingly, of course, Zhang Xu must be indispensable. Then, after a few points of attention, I left the time to the players themselves.

In the second half, Serbia was obviously unwilling to lose, and they increased their attack, but under Zhang Xu's interception, their attack could only hit the wall again and again.

On the contrary, because of the strengthened offense, the strength of the defense was weakened, which gave Zhang Xu a chance.

In the sixty-third minute of the game, Zhang Xu made an accurate prediction and tackle, and after blocking the opponent's pass, he stabbed Marchena with his toe.

After Marchena got the ball, he saw that Zhang Xu had quickly climbed up, and hurriedly returned the football to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu leaned on the instep of his right foot, stopped the football, then raised his head, looked ahead, and found that the formation on the right side of Sevilla was a little loose.

So, he made a long pass directly and accurately passed the football to Ricky, who was hovering on the right side of the field.

Ricky unloaded the football with ****, and then took the football diagonally to the big penalty area!

Two Serbian defenders rushed forward, one blocking the angle of his shot, and the other facing Ricky.

Ricky didn't want to entangle with them, and with a push of his right foot, the ball passed between the two of them.

Oliveira is a furious shot when he meets the ball!

The football turned into a bolt of lightning and went into the net!

2:0!

Zhang Xu took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to help the team go to the next city! (To be continued.) )
