Chapter 109: Is It Really Retirement?

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, all the Valencia players breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the grass and kicked heavily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In order to keep this rare share, in order not to be a substitute in the next game, they tried their best in the last ten minutes, and almost exhausted all their physical energy, so when the game was over, no one was still able to stand properly.

On the contrary, all the Deportivo players have a feeling of unfinished, and Zhang Xu and his teammates believe that as long as they are given another ten minutes, oh, even five minutes, they will be able to break through the gate of Valencia again!

Unfortunately, it was not possible to achieve a miracle in the end, and Valencia was victorious.

However, even so, it is something to be proud of, after all, it is indeed very difficult to score two goals in a row in such a difficult situation.

When Zhang Xu and his teammates were soaked in sweat and went off the court, head coach Ortra led all the players on the coaching staff and bench to applaud warmly for every player who came off the field.

When Zhang Xu walked down, head coach Ortra did not dislike his sweat at all, hugged him excitedly, and shouted loudly in Zhang Xu's ear: "Zhang, you did it!" You really did it! I'm so proud of you! ”

"Thank you, Chief, but it's a pity that we didn't win the game!" Zhang Xu is still haunted by the failure to win the game in the last minute.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, you've done a great job! I'm sure that based on your performance in this game, no Deportivo will be disappointed in you! Ha ha! Ortra laughed.

"Yes, Zhang, you've done a great job! I don't think even Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will do much better than you! The assistant coach nodded and agreed.

At this time, the captain Belleron walked over, looked at Zhang Xu with satisfaction, and then patted Zhang Xu's shoulder and said, "Zhang, I finally see the day when you mature!" You're the captain of the field today, it's great! ”

"Captain, didn't I learn this from you?" Zhang Xu has always had great respect for Belleron, after all, this big brother has taught him a lot.

"Get out! Don't mess around, if it's me, it's definitely not as good as you! Boy, the future of the team is up to you! I can finally rest assured! Belleron scolded with a smile, and then said earnestly.

"Captain, look at what you said, the autumn wind is swaying, hehe, are you going to leave us?" Zhang Xu originally just wanted to tease and ridicule Belleron, but when he found that Belleron had a serious face, he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, could it be that the captain was really leaving?

No, it can't be, the captain has been with the team for 12 seasons! How could he be willing to leave A Coruña? However, Belleron's age is indeed too big! Do you want to retire? Is it really retirement?

Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and his mind was full of mush.

Soon, however, his thoughts were interrupted by the gossip of praise from his teammates, who gathered around to celebrate the hard-earned draw.

Head coach Ortra and Valencia head coach Manuel Pellegrino shook hands amicably.

"Congratulations, your team is outstanding!" Ortra smiled and complimented.

"Excellent? Then your team will be even better! Pellegrino grimaced and said, "Especially your No. 15 Chinese zhang!" It's very good, and I'd love to buy him if I could! ”

"Oh no no no, it's impossible!" Ortra immediately shook his head and said: "Zhang is the baby of our team, it is not for sale, thank you for your kindness!" Ha ha! ”

"Humph!" Pellegrino snorted and then turned to leave, at this time, he thought to himself: Perhaps, it will be very interesting to create some transfer rumors for this Chinese zhang!

With two assists, Zhang Xu, who led one less player to fight and tenaciously equalized, was once again named the best player on the spot.

When he returned to the locker room with the champagne, the team members shouted and snatched the champagne, and soon divided the champagne belonging to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu looked at the elated teammates, and was very happy, from today's game, you can feel that the cooperation between yourself and your teammates has become more and more tacit, Zhang Xu believes that a team with tacit cooperation will definitely achieve good results in the league, so that at the end of the season, it is no longer a very difficult thing for the team to qualify for the European arena!

After this game, Deportivo La Coruna is in seventh place in the league with four points, behind Atletico Madrid.

1 September 2012 was the third match day for Deportivo La Coruna to host Getafe.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the team bus arrived at the Stadio Riazó, it had already been rendered a sea of blue and white by the fans of Deportivo La Coruna.

Today's fans are a little different from the past, they sang the team song of Deportivo La Coruna, and then sang "Zhang Xu's Song"!

This is the first time in the Riazor Stadium, which shows that Zhang Xu's performance in the last game has deeply touched all Deportivo fans, and his status in the hearts of fans has been greatly improved.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.

Due to the high morale of the team in the last game and the tenacious spirit of the team, Deportivo showed a strong desire to attack after the start of this game.

In the third minute of the game, after receiving Zhang Xu's pass, Belleron directly plugged the ball and sent the football to the feet of striker Pizzi.

Pizzy moves at high speed with the ball, and then suddenly shoots with a cold kick! The ball grazed the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, shocking the Getafe players in a cold sweat.

In the seventh minute of the game, Deportivo La Coruna made a comeback, this time it was Zhang Xu, who received a diagonal pass from Belleron outside the penalty area, and pushed the football directly with his right foot to Ricky's feet.

Unable to turn around, Ricky saw that Zhang Xu's position was good and unguarded, so he passed it back again.

Zhang Xu was not polite, he immediately picked up his right leg, and it was a long-range shot!

The shot was powerful, the only downside was that the angle was too right, and the Getafe goalkeeper lifted the ball over the crossbar with a single leap.

In this way, Deportivo launched wave after wave of attacking frenzy against Getafe, and under this frenzy, Getafe's defense became precarious and threatened to collapse at any time.

Finally, in the seventeenth minute of the game, Getafe couldn't stand it, and their defense was torn apart by the wonderful cooperation of Zhang Xu and Belleron, and the goal followed.

It was Gama's breakthrough as he raced down the left flank, past two Getafe players in quick succession, and then suddenly fired a pinpoint cross into the box.

After Pizzi jumped up, he took off the football with a header and gave it to Zhang Xu, who responded.

Zhang Xu didn't stop the ball, and directly pushed the pass, passing the football between the two Getafe defenders, and accurately landed at the feet of Ricky, who formed a breakthrough diagonally.

Ricky immediately met the rolling soccer ball and shot at goal, the ball grazed the inside post of the goal, and in an instant it got into the net!

The goal is scored and Deportivo leads 1:0!

After taking a one-goal lead, the team played more aggressively and resolutely. It turned out that Getafe could still resist and resist, and now it can basically only be exhausted.

In the 28th minute of the game, Deportivo La Coruna scored again, this time it was Ricky who scored and Belleron who assisted.

Zhang Xu was near the halfline, and after holding up the opponent's No. 17 Castro, he stabbed the football off the opponent's feet with a precise tackle.

The ball was picked up by Bellerón and he immediately started quickly, and after a few links with right midfielder Aguilar, he quickly approached Getafe's big penalty area.

In the end, he saw the opportunity and tore through Getafe's defence with an imaginative backheel pass, and finally, a low shot from Ricky sent the ball into the net!

2:0!

The first half ended with Deportivo La Coruna leading by two goals.

Soon, the second half of the game continued.

At halftime, Ortra changed two players, one was Oliveira, replacing Pizzi, and the other was Thomas, replacing Belleron, and Zhang Xu once again became the captain on the field and became the core of the team's midfield.

Although there is one less organizational core, the strength of the team has not decreased much, mainly because Zhang Xu's offensive organization relies more on his fast passing and receiving the ball, constantly pulling, so as to tear apart the opponent's defense, while Belleron is better at finding the opponent's loopholes, there is a difference between the two, but the same effect, the effect is relatively good.

Under Zhang Xu's organization, Deportivo La Coruna's offensive speed suddenly became very fast, which immediately made Getafe, who had just adapted to Belleron's offensive organization, fall into a daze again.

In the forty-eighth minute of the game, that is, in the third minute after the start of the second half, Zhang Xu was on the edge of Getafe's penalty area in a series of wonderful quick cooperation with Thomas.

Zhang Xu saw the opportunity and immediately shot from a distance.

The shot didn't score, but the ball hit the crossbar, and then it bounced back into the box, and was picked up by Oliveira, who was guarding the box, and Oliveira pushed it, and the ball rolled into the net!

3:0!

The score of 3-0, coupled with the obvious advantage of the team, replaced Zhang Xu in advance in the 70th minute of the game.

However, after Zhang Xu went off the field, Getafe began to be active, and at the 85th minute, he launched a sneak attack to pull a goal back

In the end, Deportivo La Coruna won Getafe with a score of 3:1!
