Barcelona is on top of the charts, with 78 points, far ahead of the La Liga powers, and this season's champion is almost certain to be Barcelona.
As for the Copa del Rey, it is only related to Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna, which will be known on May 9.
The only thing that other strong teams can fight for is to qualify for European competitions.
On the positive side for Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Atletico Madrid are some distance from fifth place.
In fifth place is Real Sociedad with only 51 points, 11 points behind Atletico Madrid and 13 points behind Deportivo La Coruna, and if nothing else, it will not threaten the top three teams.
In this way, it is almost certain that Barcelona, Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Atletico Madrid will qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while the teams behind will compete for Europa League qualification (UEFA Cup).
However, there are still ten rounds left before the league really ends, and no one dares to take it lightly, otherwise if the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will become a big joke in La Liga this season.
Zhang Xu didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he was more nervous than anyone else, after all, it was about whether his main quest could be completed.
Despite the team's victory after victory, he still kept his fighting form and kept the string tight.
At 3 p.m. on April 13, 2013, the 31st round of the league officially began, and Deportivo La Coruna challenged Levante away from home.
Levante's results this season are average, neither up nor down, neither have to worry about qualifying for European competitions, nor do they have to worry about relegation, they belong to a team that has no desire.
So in this game, Levante played nonchalantly.
However, because of the away game. Deportivo La Coruna also played a little restrained, and failed to get into the groove for the first 20 minutes until 20 minutes later. Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, the team slowly gained the upper hand in the game.
In the 33rd minute of the game, when Zhang Xu was dribbling the ball in the front court, he was pulled by two Levante defenders, and his clothes were directly torn.
The referee made a quick decision. A direct free-kick was awarded to Deportivo La Coruna, and Belleron curled a beautiful curling ball into the top left corner of the goal.
Levante goalkeeper Munua struggled to save, but the ball hit the corner of the goal, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal.
1:0! Deportivo La Coruna leads Levante away.
After conceding the goal, Levante seemed to be woken up for a moment and finally put on a positive posture and started a fierce battle with Deportivo La Coruna.
However, under Zhang Xu's control. No matter how Levante fought hard, he failed to snatch the initiative of the game from Zhang Xu's hands.
The only thing that deserves the relief of every Levante player is that the team did not concede another goal in the rest of the first half.
In the second half, it was easy to play again.
What made Zhang Xu feel speechless was that after the adjustment of the halftime break, Levante not only did not stimulate their fighting spirit, but seemed to be deflated, and returned to the state at the beginning of the first half, completely careless.
In this regard, Zhang Xu will naturally not be polite. All kinds of skills were used, and Levante's formation was immediately swept to pieces.
In the fifty-third minute of the game, Zhang Xu received Aguilar's cross in the middle of the penalty area, and a shocked lion shook his head. Smash the ball straight into the top right corner of Levante's goal!
2:0!
In the 60th minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again, he burst into the penalty area with the ball, and in the face of the defense of three Levante players, he jumped out of the encirclement of the three with an unreasonable poke and jump. Then he shot angrily and broke through Levante's gate again!
3:0!
In the seventy-seventh minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu, who broke the ball in a beautiful position in the backfield, cut off the football from the feet of the Levante striker, and then pushed the ball to the feet of Thomas, who replaced Belleron.
Thomas quickly dribbled the ball forward and played two one-two combinations with Zhang Xu before coming to the outside edge of the penalty area.
In the end, he pushed the ball and sent the ball to Ricky's feet.
Ricky leaned on Levante's defender and pushed the ball back to the middle with a right-footed push.
Thomas meets the ball with a volley! Football hits the net!
4:0!
In this way, Deportivo La Coruna slaughtered the desireless Levante with a score of 4-0 away from home and took all three points.
What made Deportivo feel excited was that in this round of the league, Real Madrid turned over in the gutter and lost away to Athletic Bilbao, and what is even more interesting is that Atletico Madrid also lost at home to CF Gradana!
In this way, Deportivo La Coruna successfully overtook Real Madrid, accumulating 67 points and becoming second in the league!
Real Madrid is third in the league with 64 points, and Atletico Madrid is fourth in the league with 62 points.
Just as Deportivo was celebrating this rare opportunity, Deportivo La Coruna ushered in the 32nd round of La Liga.
The match is Deportivo away against Athletic Bilbao.
Although Athletic Bilbao defeated the mighty Real Madrid in the last round of the league, they had the advantage of playing at home, and Real Madrid was not in good form in the European Champions Cup, so it was defeated by Athletic Bilbao.
In fact, Athletic Bilbao is only a team at the bottom of La Liga, although it is not in the relegation circle, but it is only three places away from the relegation circle.
In the face of such a weak team, all the people of Deportivo La Coruna, including Zhang Xu, thought that they would definitely be able to win the opponent.
But what about the result? The result is 1:1! Deportivo La Coruna was held to a draw by Athletic Bilbao!
The only goal came from Zhang Xu's long-range shot! That goal was conceded because Marchena was on the defensive, an accident, giving the opponent a direct free kick opportunity, the opponent seized this rare opportunity, a beautiful arc, directly into the door guarded by Alzubia!
It's not terrible to lose a goal, not to mention the opponent's free kick to hit the goal, but only one goal is scored that makes Zhang Xu a little difficult to accept.
In this game, Zhang Xu did not despise his opponent, he used all his skills. But Athletic Bilbao is like a doping, the team has a full outbreak, and in the face of such a situation, Zhang Xu is unable to stand alone. To be able to reach a draw is already a blessing in misfortune.
If the draw by Athletic Bilbao was an accident, the next league game was a nightmare for Deportivo La Coruna.
This is the 33rd round of the league on April 29, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. Deportivo La Coruna take on Real Betis away from home.
For Real Betis, Deportivo is no stranger, in the last game, Deportivo took the opponent lightly, and now Zhang Xu's strength has increased greatly, and it should not be a problem to win the opponent.
However, after being held to a draw by Athletic Bilbao in the last game, the whole Deportivo team, except for the determined Zhang Xu, showed a bad tendency. Every player seems to be anxious to prove their quality and to prove to everyone that Deportivo La Coruna is a strong team.
Therefore, during the game, everyone behaved very positively, but because they were too positive, they messed up the team's formation and rules.
After Zhang Xu discovered the problem, he frequently dispatched and reminded in the middle, but it failed to reverse the team's bad tendency.
At this time, Zhang Xu really felt that it was indeed far from enough for a team to rely on itself alone.
The final score of this match was 1:3! Deportivo La Coruna suffered a heavy defeat at the feet of Real Betis.
And Deportivo La Coruna scored the only goal. Header from Zhang Xu!
After a draw and a loss, Deportivo La Coruna, who was originally second in the league, suddenly fell to the third place in the league table, and the points were the same as that of Atletico Madrid. Both are 68 points, but they have a slight advantage in scoring goals and are in third place.
Although the team has had ups and downs in these games, Zhang Xu's own experience has been increasing, and after the match with Real Betis, he has been promoted two levels in a row.
