After meeting with head coach Jose Ortra, Zhang Xu will officially report to the club, and tomorrow morning he will participate in a press conference with the club, and Zhang Xu will officially join Deportivo La Coruna. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Zhang, don't forget, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, in the club's conference room, there will be a separate press conference for you, don't be late!" When sending Zhang Xu out of the club, Jose Ortra repeatedly explained.
There was still some time before it got dark, and Nicola strongly recommended buying a car now, so the two went to the nearest Mercedes dealership.
Why go to a Mercedes Benz dealership? This is because after Zhang Xu endorsed Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz specially handled a VIP gold card for Zhang Xu, who can enjoy a 20% discount.
After careful selection, Nicola took a fancy to a red SLR convertible sports car at a glance (Mercedes-Benz renaming was implemented in 2015), but Zhang Xu always felt that he was a player who had just joined the top league, and immediately drove a top-level Mercedes-Benz sports car, which was a bit too ostentatious.
So, Zhang Xu persuaded Nicola and finalized an inconspicuous silver-white SLK sports car.
At 7:40 the next morning, Zhang Xu, who was accustomed to getting up early and practicing in the morning, came to the locker room of the club's first team on time according to the daily routine.
Pushing open the door to the locker room, the locker room was empty. Zhang Xu paused for a moment, and then remembered that he was no longer in Sheffield United, but came to Spain and Deportivo La Coruna.
He shook his head, turned to leave, and headed towards the office of the head coach, Mr. José Ortra.
It's a pity that Mr. José Oltra was not there, and he was bored, so he simply took out a football from his backpack and trained alone on the training ground.
Ten minutes later, a player finally arrived at the training ground, and the jersey number was Zhang Xu's number 25 when he was at Sheffield United.
Zhang Xu learned his name from the simulation training every night. His name is Nelson. Oliveira, born on 8 August 1991, is 186cm tall and weighs 82kg, a striker on loan from Benfica in the Portuguese Premier League.
Seeing that there was someone on the training ground who had arrived before him, Oliveira paused for a moment, and then walked closer and found that it was a strange oriental youth.
"Hi there, I'm Nelson. Oliveira, the team's most recent striker on loan, are you also a player who just transferred? Are you Japanese? Koreans or? Oliveira greeted warmly in Spanish.
"Yes, I'm also a player who just transferred, I only reported yesterday afternoon, my name is zhangxu. I'm sorry, I'm neither Japanese nor Korean, I'm a Chinese! Hearing that Oliveira actually guessed that he was Japanese and Korean, Zhang Xu frowned and replied very blandly.
"Wow, Chinese? What a magical country! What a city wall, what a lake in the west, hehe, I yearn for it! Hi man, how about taking me to your country another day? Oliveira exclaimed, and then naturally hooked up with Zhang Xu's shoulder and said affectionately.
"Uh-uh," Zhang Xu was a little unaccustomed to this guy's enthusiasm, he moved away without a trace, hooked the football under his feet, hugged it with his hand, and said: "Oliveira, correct, it's called 'The Great Wall' and 'West Lake'." If you're really interested, I'd certainly welcome you! ”
"Haha, that's great! That's it! Oliveira clapped his palms very excitedly: "I said zhang, are you transferring from China?" ”
"Oliveira, haven't you read the team's official website?" Seeing Oliveira shaking his head very seriously, Zhang Xu could only explain: "I transferred from Sheffield United in League One, I am a midfielder, mainly playing as a midfielder. ”
Then, Oliveira pulled Zhang Xu to ask questions, completely looking like a curious baby, which made Zhang Xu miserable.
Fortunately, new teammates soon came to the training ground, which made Zhang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
The second to come to the training ground was No. 16 Bruno. Gama, is a midfielder. The third is the captain of the team, No. 21 Juan. Carlos. Belleron.
When Gama and Belleron came to the training ground, they also expressed great interest in Zhang Xu, but fortunately, the training was about to start, so they didn't ask much, introduced themselves to each other, and after expressing the meaning of welcoming them, they didn't ask more, but chatted while making preparations before training.
"Hey, Zhang, I didn't expect you to come here. Let's go, I'll take you to the locker room and finalize your wardrobe. At this time, head coach Jose Ortra came to the training ground, and when he saw Zhang Xu, he immediately greeted him.
Zhang Xu and the other three waved their hands and followed José Ortra to the locker room.
At this time, there were already many players in the locker room, and they were nervously changing their clothes, but they did not expect the head coach Jose Ortra to suddenly break in, followed by a young man with an eastern face.
"This is zhangxu from Sheffield United, Chinese, and will be your teammate in the future!" Ortra gave a brief introduction to Zhang Xu.
"Wow! Chinese! Welcome, welcome! ”
"I know you, I've seen your news on the official website!"
"Welcome, China Zhang!" .......
A group of teammates expressed a warm welcome to Zhang Xu's arrival, and of course, many players muttered in a low voice: "Can Chinese play football?" ”
Zhang Xu directly filtered out those muttering sounds, and then stood up generously and said loudly: "Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be everyone's teammate!" ”
Ortra chose a more middle wardrobe and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang, just this wardrobe, I remember that the person who used this wardrobe seems to be the legendary star of the team-Ma Kai, I hope you can achieve a legend like him!" ”
"I will! Chief! Zhang Xu nodded and said confidently.
"Excellent! It's still a while before the press conference, so you get dressed and then you gather with the team, and we've got to get you to know every member of the team! ”
"Okay!" Zhang Xu nodded, quickly changed his jersey, and then walked out of the locker room with head coach Ortra.
After all the members of the team gathered, Ortra brought Zhang Xu to the team and introduced loudly: "His name is Zhangxu, he is from China, and he plays as a midfielder. It was I who brought him here from Sheffield United in the Championship. ”
"Zhang is a very good player with great quality and great potential. Some people may think that my comment is a bit excessive, so let me tell you an amazing fact: a year ago, in July 2011, Zhang was just an amateur player who could not even play in the professional league, but by May this year, Zhang has become the absolute main force of Sheffield United in League One and helped Sheffield United successfully qualify for the Championship. ”
"Some people may also think that Sheffield United's promotion to the Championship is not necessarily due to Zhang, then, I have a statistic here: Zhang transferred to Sheffield United during the winter break, and in half a season, he played a total of 21 games, contributing 14 goals and 7 assists to the team!"
"And, more than half of those 14 goals and seven assists decided the game!"
"With such statistics, do you say that Sheffield United's promotion to the Championship has little to do with him? No, I can say that he is the biggest contributor to Sheffield United's successful promotion! ”
"I introduced him to everyone so ceremoniously because I don't want some players to look at him with a discriminatory eye, and don't despise him because he is a Chinese player! To be honest, before, I wasn't very interested in Chinese players, but Zhang subverted my opinion of Chinese players! ”
"I am honored to have Zhang to A Coruña, so I hope everyone will accept Zhang and work with Zhang to rebuild the great 'Super Laco'! Hurrah, Larco! ”
All the players immediately raised their right fists and shouted loudly: "Laco, long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”
"Okay, Zhang, can you say a few words?" Ortra gestured to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu nodded and said loudly to the team: "First of all, thank you for the compliment to me, in fact, I am really not that good!" ”
"Haha!" For Zhang Xu's modesty, everyone responded with a series of good-natured laughter.
After the laughter subsided, Zhang Xu continued: "However, I am confident that I will witness the rise of another 'Super Lako' with you!" Because, I have your good brothers who fight side by side! I believe that we are the second 'Super Laco'! Hurrah, Larco! ”
"Laco, hooray! Banzai! Banzai! Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, captain Belleron and his teammates broke out again with a roar.
Ortra nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang, it's almost time, let's go to the press conference!" ”
"Okay!" Zhang Xu followed Ortra out of the training ground and went to the club's press conference.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xu and Oltra walked into the press conference on time and sat down on the rostrum.
It was not the first time that Zhang Xu had attended a press conference, so he naturally gave a slight touch to the reporters in the audience, showing his elegant gentlemanly demeanor.
When Zhang Xu and Ortra took their seats, the press conference was announced.
First of all, the club's press release officially announced that Zhang Xu had joined Deportivo La Coruna, and then gave a detailed introduction to Zhang Xu's personal situation.
Next, it's time to show off the jerseys.
Because Zhang Xu particularly likes the number 15, the number reserved for him by Ortrat is the No. 15 home blue and white striped jersey with Zhang Xu's name on display today.
