Soon, Zhang Xu's interview spread to China and spread all over the country through the Internet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fans are very happy with Zhang Xu's clear statement, in their opinion, all obstacles to Zhang Xu's entry into the national team have completely disappeared, so it depends on the efficiency of a certain institution in China.

However, everyone knows very well that even if Zhang Xu can join the national team smoothly, he will be in November at the earliest, because the most recent national competition is a warm-up match against New Zealand at home, and the match day is scheduled for November.

Therefore, fans want to see Zhang Xu's performance in the national team, and they can only wait until November.

Just when the fans were eagerly looking forward to Zhang Xu's performance in the national team, Zhang Xu and his teammates were actively training and playing leagues.

On 16 September 2012, Deportivo La Coruna played away to CF Granada.

The strength of the Granada CF team is not strong, it should be regarded as a weak team in La Liga, it was almost relegated last season, this season the Granada CF team is unable to buy powerful players due to lack of funds, so the strength of the team has not changed much, and it is still at the lower level of La Liga.

In this game, although Deportivo was playing away, there was Zhang Xu's tenacious defense and Belleron's skillful midfield scheduling, so the team still played relaxed and took the initiative in the game.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a long pass and accurately found Pizzy in front, Pizzy grabbed before the opponent destroyed the football, crossed with one kick, and then easily pushed it into the net by Ricky!

1:0！

In the forty-ninth minute of the game, Zhang Xu immediately played a quick counterattack after cutting off the opponent's No. 14 Rick's football, first passing diagonally to Belleron, and then receiving Belleron's return pass, after that, Zhang Xu directly stuffed the ball and stuffed the football to Ricky's feet, forming a single knife, Ricky faced the attacking goalkeeper, calmly shot with a kick, and once again broke through the door of the Granada CF team.

2:0！

After taking a two-goal lead, Belleron was substituted, with No.10 Thomas coming on and Oliveira coming on for Pizzi.

Zhang Xu once again became the team's captain on the field.

In fact, now the players are used to Zhang Xu as the captain on the field, and they are also used to playing under Zhang Xu's organization.

Of course, Zhang Xu's organizational style is still a little different from Belleron's, which is mainly reflected in the speed of passing and receiving the ball.

Zhang Xu likes to pass and receive the ball quickly, and he is also much more active in running and interspersing. Although this seems to be a high level of physical demand, in fact, the distance that the players have run is not much more than when Belleron was organized.

Why? This is mainly because Zhang Xu's own speed is too fast, which greatly makes up for the lack of fast running or dribbling speed of the players, often the players only need to accurately receive the pass from Zhang Xu or other teammates at the right time, and then accurately pass the football to the correct position at the first time.

For example, in the second goal, after Zhang Xu took the ball, he passed the ball directly to Belleron, who did not need to stop the ball and run at all, and could pass it back directly to Zhang Xu, who had already run to the receiving position. Zhang Xu's last kick was plugged straight, and Ricky just suddenly stepped forward, forming a single knife!

In the sixty-seventh minute of the game, the team, under the organization of Zhang Xu, played a series of wonderful cooperation. First, Zhang Xu made a tackle and directly stabbed the football from the feet of the opponent's striker.

Then Zhang Xu quickly got up, and after running two steps, the football was passed by his teammate Marchena, and he didn't stop the ball, and directly pushed the pass, and it was sent to Aguilar's feet.

Aguilar also pushed the pass and once again returned the football to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu made another pass to Thomas, who was in front of the right, and Thomas returned it, and finally, Zhang Xu kicked the ball straight and immediately tore apart the back line of the Granada CF team, and Oliveira easily scored with a volley!

3:0！

This goal is a very typical microcosm of Zhang Xu's attack, we can see that almost every time he passes and receives the ball, Zhang Xu's shadow can be seen, and the other players do not run too much.

It's such a simple and effective quick pass and the ball flies into the net! This is Zhang Xu's offensive organization!

In the end, Deportivo La Coruna won the game with a score of 3-0. Deportivo La Coruna has once again three points to reach 10 points and move to second place in the standings! Second only to Barcelona who have won all four games!

Deportivo La Coruna have won three and drawn one of their four league games, a perfect start for a promoted team.

On 24 September 2012, the fifth match day of the league, Deportivo La Coruna played at home to visiting Sevilla.

Sevilla FC is not a stranger to the team, in the friendly match before the start of the season, the two sides have played each other, and the result is a small victory against the opponent with a strong lion swing head by Zhang Xu.

Overall, Sevilla FC are stronger than Deportivo La Coruna. In the last game, if it weren't for Zhang Xu, a defensive giant, the frequent and ferocious tackles made the Sevilla players very uncomfortable, and they were also worried that they would be injured because of it, so the strength of the team was not truly reflected at all.

It's league now, it's different, even at the risk of injury, the players will give it their all, so this game will be a big test for Deportivo La Coruna.

Fortunately, this game is a home game, and Deportivo La Coruna, who is good at playing at home, has very few defeats, so maybe this will help the team.

At 7 o'clock that night, the game officially began.

As expected before the game, the mighty Sevilla FC FC did not fall behind even when playing away from home, and with the organization of the number 7 Keylor Navas, Sevilla even had the upper hand slightly.

In the face of such a strong opponent, Zhang Xu rarely participated in the team's attack, and he concentrated on organizing the team's defense.

Now, Zhang Xu's defensive strength has completely changed compared with the friendly match, even if he doesn't use fierce defensive methods, he can still achieve good defensive results.

Coupled with a very smooth start to the season, it gave the players strong self-confidence, so under Zhang Xu's organization, Sevilla's attack did not achieve substantial results.

However, the attack of the Deportivo team lacked Zhang Xu, the organizer who cooperated with Belleron, and the attack power dropped by a notch, so when attacking, it was also frequently blocked.

In this way, the two sides were deadlocked, and the game entered a stalemate.

The stalemate does not mean that the game is not exciting, on the contrary, this stalemate game is very exciting, the two sides go back and forth, and the game is brilliant and exciting.

In the end, the game ended 0:0 and the two sides drew with hands.

In the second half, after Pogba's good friend Kondogbia came on as a substitute, the first sentence made Zhang Xu almost fall to the ground.

"Hi, cucumber! We meet again! Kondogbia greeted warmly.

Zhang Xu replied with a tangled face: "Black winter melon, I am not a yellow winter melon, you are a winter melon, it doesn't mean that I am a winter melon, you are much more powerful than me!" ”

"No, I feel like you're better than me! So, you're the winter melon! I'm not! Kondogbia replied earnestly.

".........." Zhang Xu was speechless, this is really shooting himself in the foot!

After this match, although the team only managed to get a draw, the team still reached 11 points and fell to third place in the standings, overtaken by Atletico Madrid.

Although it was third, it was still a good result for Deportivo La Coruna, who were not very strong.

The current Deportivo team, from top to bottom, everyone's face is filled with joy from the heart, which is not pride or complacency, but a kind of enterprising mentality, a kind of optimism that has achieved initial results.

This result also excites Deportivo fans. Now on the street, if you meet a Deportivo fan, they will proudly tell you how strong our team is and how good our results are. That kind of demeanor reveals a kind of pride from the bones.

Teammates and fans are optimistic, but Zhang Xu is not optimistic, because in the last few days, when using simulation training, he has used Real Madrid as an opponent several times in a row, but what he didn't expect was that every result was a failure.

Moreover, the largest score gap reached 1:5! This really made Zhang Xu a little difficult to accept.

The main reason for the loss was the lack of defense.

Under the leadership of Ronaldo, Real Madrid's offense is too strong, even if Zhang Xu's defensive ability is very strong, but when he faces Ronaldo, he still feels a little helpless.

It's not that this means that you can't defend one-on-one, but the overall strength of Real Madrid is too strong, and Ronaldo, with the support of his teammates, can fully exert all his energy.

Interspersed with running, dribbling and kicking, Ronaldo's superb skills and strong team organization skills tossed Zhang Xu to death.

This is the first time Zhang Xu has felt the obvious gap between top stars and himself, which also makes him understand his own path, and there is still a long way to go on with more hard work.

The match day against Real Madrid is getting closer and closer, Zhang Xu practiced tactics with his teammates during the day, and continued to fight with Ronaldo in simulated training at night.

With Zhang Xu's familiarity with Real Madrid's players and formations, the results of simulation training have also improved day by day, and by the night before the game, Zhang Xu has been able to achieve eight or nine successful times out of ten defenses.

Even so, Zhang Xu still has no certainty in his heart, he can only pin his hopes on the field, and he or the team will have a super-level performance.

But is this really reliable?
