Chapter Ninety-Two: The Miraculous Effect of the Dual-Core Tactic
The Spanish media have praised Zhang Xu's performance in a high-profile manner, and the domestic media have also published a large number of Zhang Xu's performances in the two friendly matches through their own reporters stationed in Spain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Especially in the second game of the Deportivo team's away challenge against the Bonsai Reddina team, Zhang Xu, as the core of the team in the second half, in the next 20 minutes, actually organized a not very strong substitute lineup in an orderly manner, and broke out more powerful than the main lineup, which has aroused high praise from countless football commentators in China.
"The Heart of the Future National Team - Zhang Xu! The commentator believes that it can be seen from this game that Zhang Xu has fully adapted to the Deportivo La Coruna team, and his level is enough to take on the responsibility of the core power of the country in the national team, and the commentator believes that if Zhang Xu is recruited into the national team and entrusted with important tasks, the strength of the Chinese team will make great progress! Dominating Asia is not a dream!
"Zhang Xu---- the hope of the rise of "Super Laco", and the new core of the Chinese national team! This article is a report from "New Wolf Sports", and the commentator is Dai Dong, who has been tracking and reporting Zhang Xu.
In the article, he pointed out that Zhang Xu has become the new core of the Deportivo La Coruna team and is about to lead the team back to life. Such a powerful player, but was rejected by the national team, is really incomprehensible. If Zhang Xu is selected for the national team, with his strong strength, he will definitely become the new core of the national team, so that the level of the national team will be improved by one or even two grades!
..................
The praise of the media immediately attracted the attention of domestic fans, and countless fans who supported Zhang Xu once again shouted on the Internet that "Zhang Xu joins the national team"!
Whether the fans' voices are heard by anyone or the leaders of a certain organization, we have no way of knowing, but Zhang Xu, who is far away in Spain, does not have time to pay attention to the news, and all his energy is devoted to training and games.
After the friendly match with the Bangsai Reddina team, Zhang Xu not only received experience points and attribute points, but also unexpectedly got two attributes randomly rewarded by the system, namely vision attribute points +1 and technical attribute points +1!
This unexpected surprise made Zhang Xu very excited.
In Zhang Xu's view, the substitution of the star auxiliary training mode, although the consumption is relatively large, is still worth the price!
So, in the next few days of training, he used the substitute star auxiliary training mode three times in a row, and as a result, hehe, that is, hehe, the system only rewarded a little dribbling attribute, and it didn't trigger any side quests!
This made Zhang Xu, who had high hopes for this training mode, quite disappointed, and also quite painfully spent 300 experience points.
It seems that the system only has rewards or tasks in specific situations! Especially if it's the first time you're using a certain training mode! Zhang Xu summarized and found this feature of the system.
In any case, at the end of the day: any opportunistic approach will not work! Only solid training is the foundation for improving yourself!
So, Zhang Xu once again put all his enthusiasm into training! Of course, in addition to Oliveira, who is going to die or live, he is accompanied by the captain Belleron, who carefully guides Zhang Xu.
To be honest, Zhang Xu is still very grateful to Belleron, the 37-year-old legendary Spanish midfielder, no matter when, as long as he has the opportunity to have time, he will personally guide Zhang Xu on how to become the offensive and defensive core of the team.
This made Zhang Xu deeply inspired, and the system also recognized Belleron's guidance to Zhang Xu many times, and in the past few days, Zhang Xu has added a little attribute almost every day. Of course, the increase is Zhang Xu's current relatively weak offensive or technical attributes, and the defensive attributes are not something that Belleron's guidance can increase.
On 30 July 2012, Deportivo La Coruna hosted the visiting Sporting Gijón. Sporting Gijón is a team that has been up and down in La Liga and La B, and just fell to La Liga last season, and the overall strength of the team is still relatively strong.
In this friendly match, Sporting Gijón were slightly stronger in central midfield than promoted Mala Coruna, as can be seen in the possession.
In this case, Zhang Xu has no chance to play the core of the team, and he is helping the team strengthen its defense almost all the time.
Similarly, fortunately, there is Zhang Xu, the defender, after Zhang Xu's careful organization and building, the Deportivo team's defensive ability has been greatly enhanced, so the Deportivo team did not give the strong offensive ability of the Gijón Athletic team many opportunities.
In the end, the two sides fought to a 1:1 draw! Deportivo La Coruna's goal was conceded because the team's No. 6 defender, Evaldo, accidentally gave a penalty to the opponent when he tackled.
The current head coach, Ortra, is happy and worried at the same time.
Happily, Zhang Xu has fully adapted to the role of the backbone of the team's defense, and the team's back line has been relatively solid.
There are two things to worry about: first, the team's offensive ability is weak, and the core of the offensive organization, Belleron, despite his outstanding ability, is too old and his physical fitness is worried. Second, in addition to Zhang Xu, who is only 20 years old, the other players are older, with an average age of 31 years old.
If you sum up the two problems, it is one word: old! The aging of the team is a bit serious! It needs to be replenished with young fresh blood!
But the president of the club of the team is a budget-conscious guy and will definitely not give Ortra enough transfer funds, what should he do?
Now there's only one way, and that's to lend! For example, Oliveira, who is on loan from Benfica! At present, he has become a super substitute in the team's forward line!
To this end, Ortra has loaned three defenders and two midfielders from Sao Paulo, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, etc.
If you add the loaned striker Oliveira, the team's loan reaches 6 players! Of course, Ortra also bought a defender from Villarreal to bolster the defence.
On 2 August 2012, Deportivo La Coruna played away against Lugo.
The Lugou team is also a La B team, and its strength is not very strong. So in this friendly match, Deportivo played relatively easily, especially Zhang Xu, the team's fully formed defense under his leadership, easily blocked all the attacks from the Lugou team.
In order to cultivate Zhang Xu's awareness and ability as the core of the team, Ortra once again promoted him to the core of the team in the second half.
However, this time, Zhang Xu was not willing to use his hard-won experience points to use the substitution star coaching mode, so the offensive organization of the Deportivo La Coruna team in the second half can only be said to be okay.
This made Ortra and the rest of the players a little puzzled.
It's a bit of a difference! One is the core of the super awesome team, and the other is a midfielder who is barely making do, which are completely two concepts!
Such a huge contrast made Belleron think that he was wrong, and after the game, he also looked at Zhang Xu carefully, and after confirming that it was the familiar Chinese zhang, he thought that there was something wrong with Zhang Xu's body, and pulled Zhang Xu for a while to ask for warmth.
The embarrassed Zhang Xu fled in a hurry, and after learning from the pain, he felt that it was necessary for him to improve his offensive organization ability, otherwise, I don't know if the captain Belleron would drag him to the hospital for examination.
Zhang Xu thought twice and decided to add all the remaining ten free attribute points to the passing attribute!
So, now, Zhang Xu's attribute panel becomes:
Level: 37
Experience: 13800/31000 (Assignable Stats: 0)
Weight/Height: 81.2KG/182.4cm
Current Ability/Potential: 68/81 (minimum 30 for Pro players, maximum 99)
Current physical fatigue/condition: 27/86 (up to 99)"
Technical attributes (up to 99 for a single attribute):
Crosses: 39Dribbles: 40 Shots: 43 Heads: 70
Long shots: 51 Marks: 70 Passes: 59 Tackles: 70
Stops: 44 Technical: 52 Penalties: 38 Corners: 32
Set-pieces: 37, throw-ins: 37
Mental attributes:
Aggressiveness: 49 Prediction: 70 Brave: 84 Calm: 74
Focus: 64 Vision: 59 Determination: 45 Determination: 86
Imagination: 44 Influence: 74 Runs off the ball: 51
Sense of Position: 70 Teamwork: 72 Work Input: 97
Physical Attributes:
Explosiveness: 85 Flexibility: 53 Balance: 57 Bounce: 82
Constitution: 91 Speed: 95 Stamina: 92 Strong: 91
Zhang Xu believes that although the passing attribute of 59 points still cannot meet the needs of the team's offensive organization, with the teamwork of up to 72 points, as long as the difficult passes are avoided as much as possible, it can basically meet the needs of the team in offensive organization.
At the same time, the improvement of his passing ability can also improve his organizational ability in defense and continue to strengthen the team's defensive strength.
This was evident in a friendly on 4 August.
This friendly is a Deportivo away game against Pacos Ferreira of the Portuguese Premiership. As a powerhouse in the Portuguese Super League, Ferreira's strength cannot be ignored.
This game was not as easy as expected, even with Zhang Xu sitting in the back, but the team still played more difficult.
Although the team's attack was carefully organised by Belleron, the aging Belleron's speed and fitness were not enough to pose a threat to the tenacious Ferreira defence, as Deportivo Lacoruna's attack was frequently blocked.
In the end, the helpless Oltra simply replaced No. 10 Thomas and replaced him with a dragging back midfielder, allowing Zhang Xu and Belleron to cooperate to play a dual-core strategy.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional adjustment actually achieved unexpected results.
Zhang Xu's speed and strong physical fitness make up for Belleron's shortcomings, coupled with the extremely strong body, the perfect combination of the two has formed a fatal impact on Ferreira's defense!
In the end, Deportivo defeated Ferreira with a score of 2:1 thanks to an assist from Belleron and a long-range shot inserted by Zhang Xu!
