Chapter 115: The feeling of exhaustion
At the same time, in the distant Hollywood, the United States, Nicola had just finished filming the morning scene, and before she had time to eat lunch, she hurried back to her hotel, turned on her laptop, skillfully typed a web address, and then saw the game scene at the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Zhang, dear, you are the best! I'm sure you'll be able to do it! Looking at the computer screen, Nicola silently prayed for Zhang Xu in her heart.
At this moment, Zhang Xu is accepting the final mobilization of head coach Ortra: "Guys, the time has come to really test our level, whether we are a weak promotion horse or a dark horse that can break the pattern of La Liga, it depends on this battle!" β
"Guys, the opponent is strong, there's no doubt about it, but we're also very good, our offensive ability is enough to make all teams scared, and our defensive ability, there is a perverted Chinese zhang, what else do we have to worry about?"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, turned their heads to look at Zhang Xu, and found that Zhang Xu was smiling bitterly with a tangled face, so there was another series of loud laughs.
In the laughter, the players' original nervousness was greatly relieved, and their mood suddenly became comfortable.
In the home team's dressing room, Mourinho was also mobilizing before the pit stop:
"I told you the other day that we are the great Real Madrid, and we should not have five league games and we only have seven points!"
"So, this game, we're going to win it anyway! Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to defend the dignity of Real Madrid, what should we do? β
"Kill Deportivo La Coruna!" The Real Madrid players immediately roared loudly.
"That's right, it's going to kill them! Here, I can't stress enough that if this game is not won, then there will definitely be some people who will have to bear the consequences of losing, and at that time, don't blame me for not being emotional! 'Mourinho solemnly warned all the players.
This sentence immediately made all Real Madrid players feel a chill in their hearts, Mourinho's strength is well-known in the team, and no player is not afraid of him.
Jose Mourinho then highlighted what his team should look out for and Deportivo Lacoruna's players to focus on.
"The first thing to pay attention to is their captain Belleron, although his ability to play against the ball is not very good, but his passing skills are very good, so we have to try to prevent him from having the opportunity to pass as much as possible, and I will leave this matter to Essien, is there a problem?"
"Nope! Don't worry, boss, I'll keep him on the lookout! Essien immediately replied loudly.
"Good!" Mourinho nodded with satisfaction: "Another thing that needs to be paid attention to is that Chinese zhang, don't underestimate this Chinese kid, his defensive ability is really good, Ronaldo, when you break through him, try not to have physical contact with him, this kid's body is terrifyingly strong!" β
"I will, sir!" Ronaldo nodded and said, for China Zhang, at the beginning, he was really unfamiliar, but after a few days of understanding, he found that this Chinese Zhang is indeed an excellent defensive player, so he has more respect in his words.
"In addition, this kid also has a strong desire to attack, and his ability to shoot from a distance and with a header is very outstanding, so let's not give him a chance to shoot from a distance, and in addition, when competing for a header, he must be stuck in a good position in advance, and it is best not to give him a chance to jump. Pepe, if he participates in the attack, then the defense of him is up to you! β
"Haha, okay, boss, I'll show him what real defense is!" Pepe replied with a sinister smile.
"Pepe, pay attention to the scale of defense, I don't want to cause the team to lose unexpectedly because you get me a damn red card!" Mourinho also had a lot of headaches about Pepe's temper, but Pepe's ability really didn't have to be said, so he had to explain a few words repeatedly.
"Don't worry, boss, I don't need those actions to deal with this hairy boy!" Pepe said nonchalantly.
"Alright! Pay attention! Mourinho shook his head and continued to explain what to look out for in the players.
At 7:50 p.m., the battle of the spotlight finally began with a whistle from the referee.
After the game started, Zhang Xu finally saw the strength of Real Madrid.
The first is to be defensive.
Full-bodied, aggressive and defensive, midfielder Essien has built a solid defence in central midfield.
In the back line, there are a number of strong players such as Ramos and Marcelo, who have built Real Madrid's backline into a solid one.
Here I have to mention Pepe, although Pepe's quality and temper are criticized, but his defensive ability is really outstanding, after the game started, Belleron several through balls, he successfully predicted and destroyed in time.
Secondly, the midfield has a strong sense of organization.
The midfielder is from the back to the front, with Essien at the back and Xavi in the middle. Alonso, flanked by Luka Modric and Maria, and in front of him is the famous Cristiano Ronaldo.
Such a formation with a strong sense of hierarchy makes Real Madrid's midfield organization very strong. The most intuitive feeling is that the passing frequency of the midfielder is very fast, often after a few passes, the football can be passed to the big penalty area in the shortest time.
There are two people who give Zhang Xu the most headaches, one is Alonso, with him in the midfield scheduling, Real Madrid's midfield is very active, and the aging Belleron alone can't fight against him at all, only by joining forces with Zhang Xu can he play a certain role in pincering.
However, there is another person who is more difficult than Alonso, and that is Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo has been criticized by many media in his private life, on the pitch, Ronaldo is worthy of being a superstar comparable to Messi.
With each of his runs, he was able to run to the weakest point of Deportivo Deportivo's defense; Every time he passes, he can send it to the feet of the most suitable teammates in the most suitable position; Every time he shot, it seemed so sudden, so sharp, so threatening.
In front of him, Zhang Xu's originally strong defensive skills are now a little stretched.
In fact, when it comes to one-on-one defense, Zhang Xu is not afraid of Ronaldo's breakthrough at all, but Ronaldo plays very smartly and basically does not give Zhang Xu the opportunity to get close to the defense.
In this way, Zhang Xu can only speed up his running, get as close to Ronaldo as possible, use his strong physical fitness to put pressure on the opponent, and then wait for the opportunity to cut off the football at the opponent's feet.
However, even if Zhang Xu increased his speed, the effect was not very significant in the face of Ronaldo, who was also fast.
At this time, prediction becomes very important, only by judging the direction of Ronaldo's running or passing in advance, can we take the lead and lay the foundation for the subsequent close defense.
Zhang Xu was ruthless, and decisively added 5 free attribute points to the prediction, so that Zhang Xu's prediction suddenly skyrocketed from the original 70 points to the current 75 points.
After the attribute points increased, Zhang Xu immediately felt that his mind suddenly became much clearer, and he seemed to understand a lot about Real Madrid's offensive route and direction, so that when defending Ronaldo, he became a little more relaxed and no longer completely in a passive situation.
Finally, Real Madrid's attacking prowess is outstanding.
There is Cristiano Ronaldo interspersed with running positions in the midfield, and there is striker Benzema in front, and the two frequently create killing opportunities, which brings great trouble to Deportivo LaCoruna's defense.
The strength of Real Madrid was obvious, and for nearly ten minutes after the start of the game, Deportivo La Coruna was basically in a passive situation, and Zhang Xu had to put all his energy into the team's defense.
Again and again, again and again, steals again and again, and again and again to clear the header... For the first time, Zhang Xu felt that his body was a little tired.
Actually, it's not that he really feels tired, but the frequent tackles and frequent tackles make him feel a little tired and tired!
Now, Zhang Xu has shown all his defensive ability, his 95 points of speed and 86 points of explosiveness, so that he can truly cover his defensive area to the entire midfield.
But even so, the situation in A CoruΓ±a has not improved significantly.
In the thirteenth minute of the game, Essien used his strong physical fitness to resist Belleron's body to the death, and suddenly stabbed the football at Belleron's feet with his right foot.
As soon as Alonso got the ball, he started quickly and quickly crossed the halfway line. At this time, Zhang Xu was the first to come up, and he used his body to block the route of Alonso's pass to Ronaldo from time to time, which made Alonso very uncomfortable, so he had to turn around and pass the football to No. 19 Modric.
Immediately after Modric got the ball, he turned and slipped past Aguilar with a brilliant pull and then drove along the touchline at high speed towards the heart of Deportivo La Coruna.
Pablo immediately rose to the occasion and stopped Modric on just edge of the box.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Modric directly pushed the arch of his right foot and pushed the football to Ronaldo, who responded.
Marchena immediately followed, and even Zhang Xu had to quickly approach Ronaldo, who received the ball.
However, Ronaldo did not give Zhang Xu a chance to get close to him at all, he did not stop the ball, and pushed directly to Benzema in front, and then quickly crossed Marchena and inserted diagonally into the big penalty area.
As soon as Benzema leaned on his left foot, the football came to Ronaldo's feet again, Ronaldo made a feint to break through on the left side, and after attracting Eivaldo's body ****, he suddenly poked the toe of his left foot to the right, and his body turned sharply, opening up a gap in his position.
Ronaldo did not hesitate at all, and he did not have time to hesitate, because Zhang Xu was already approaching at high speed, only about two meters away from him, if he waited for Zhang Xu to get closer, with Zhang Xu's strong defensive ability, it would not be possible to give him a chance to shoot.
So, Ronaldo shoots!
He fired a direct volley into the bottom right corner of the goal!
