Chapter 105

The intermission time was over soon, and the faces of all Deportivo players were burning with unyielding flames of war, as if they were going to completely burn the opposite Valencia to ashes!
A "beep" whistle sounded, and the second half of the game began.

After the start of the second half, Valencia, with two goals in hand, seemed to be in a slow-heating state again. It was slow when dribbling the ball, and the passing was a bit soft. Even the offense seemed not so resolute.

On the contrary, Deportivo, who has long been fighting and is impatient with goals, is not only much more resolute in defense, but also very active in offensive organization.

Zhang Xu shoulders the important task of saving the team's fate. In order to complete this arduous task and mission, just like in the match between Sheffield United and Birmingham, he gave full play to his energy.

At this time, he no longer considered whether his offensive attributes were strong, his skills were still rough, and so on. His only thought was: to prevent Valencia from scoring goals, and at the same time to equalize or even overtake the score!

Zhang Xu, who has exploded with all his energy, is very terrifying. His speed of 95 points and endurance of 92 points are enough for him to run the entire court.

In fact, Zhang Xu did just that.

As long as there is a ball, you can definitely see his shadow. As long as it is the most conducive place to pass and catch the ball, Zhang Xu will always run quickly.

Although such fast running regardless of physical fitness is a huge challenge even for Zhang Xu with super physical fitness, these are not within the scope of Zhang Xu's consideration at all.

At this moment, in his heart, there is only one point: hurry up, and then adjust the team's rhythm to the fastest, and then launch the fastest attack against Valencia, tear their defense, and pour football into their goal.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, although Zhang Xu worked very hard, because his offensive organization was not very proficient, he was still far from Belleron's level, so the team's overall offense was a bit messy, and the offensive effect was not very obvious.

After 10 minutes, Zhang Xu, who is good at learning and summing up experience, began to adjust his offensive organization, make full use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to his good at passing, and try his best to avoid some actions that he is not good at at all, such as dribbling or passing people.

In this way, Zhang Xu's offensive organization became a little different from Belleron's.Under his organization, the players had to run fast in order to receive his pass; and in order to pass the football to his feet in a timely manner, they also had to run fast and pass the ball quickly.

Although mistakes in passing and catching the ball will reduce the efficiency of the offense because of the fast pace, but the number of offenses has greatly increased, the number of effective offenses has also increased greatly, and the opportunities have also greatly increased!
At 8 minutes into the game, Zhang Xu saw that Gago was a bit slow in dribbling the ball. He immediately approached at high speed, and before the opponent had time to react, he kicked the football off Gago's feet.

The football was controlled by Marchena. He didn't dribble the ball, and with a push of his arch, he gave the football to Zhang Xu who had already run to the position of receiving the ball.

Zhang Xu pulled his right foot, turned around, and then made another push pass, sending the football to Aguilar on the right, and he jumped over Tino, who was approaching him, and came to the position of receiving the ball again.

When he just arrived at the position, the football appeared under his feet again accurately. Zhang Xu leaned on his right foot, then pulled and pushed with his left foot, and the football rolled towards Thomas who was responding in the middle.

Thomas, who always likes to dribble and break through, did not dribble this time. Instead, he dexterously grabbed the ball before the defender, poked it with his toe, and sent the football to the front forward-Ricky.

Ricky was marked by two defenders, and it was impossible to form an effective breakthrough, so he had to push with his right foot and pass back obliquely to Zhang Xu's feet.

Zhang Xu raised his right leg and made a long-range shooting posture.

After Zhang Xu's earth-shattering long-range shot that almost resulted in a goal in the first half, all Valencia players paid more attention to Zhang Xu's long-range shot.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xu made this long-range shot, he immediately attracted the attention of three Valencia defenders. One rushed up to block the hole of the gun, the other stretched out his right leg to block the middle between Zhang Xu and the goal, and the other turned his body to seal the shooting angle with his own body.

Seeing such an effect of his fake action, Zhang Xu was also happy. He quickly changed his shot to a kick pass, hoisting the football to the center of the penalty area.

It was an over-the-top pass, so when Zhang Xu picked the pass, Ricky began to quickly penetrate behind the defender. When the football fell, Ricky just came to the back of the football.

Ricky didn't stop the ball, and he didn't have time to stop the ball. The guard marking him was only half a body behind him. If he stopped the ball, he would definitely lose the best shot.

So, he swung his right leg and volleyed directly!
For Ricky's shot, the football flew close to the turf, and the angle was very tricky, so Valencia's goalkeeper Alves couldn't catch it at all. Although he had fully stretched his body, the football still passed under his palm and got into the goal behind him!

The ball went in! 1:2!

With Zhang Xu's unremitting efforts, Deportivo finally scored a goal back with Zhang Xu assisting Ricky!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh seeing the football, Zhang Xu immediately raised his hands, looked up to the sky and roared."

And Ricky, who scored the goal, ran to Zhang Xu who was roaring with joy, and hugged Zhang Xu tightly: "Zhang, we scored, haha! We scored a goal!"

Other teammates also surrounded Zhang Xu and hugged Zhang Xu tightly.They yelled happily, as if they had won the game.

"Brothers, we are still one goal away from tying the score, let's work harder and kill the Bat Corps!" Zhang Xu laughed and said to his teammates around him.

"Haha, Zhang, you are right, kill the Bat Legion!"

"Dry it! Haha! Zhang, this feeling is so good!"

"Yes, do it! We still have to win! Do it!"

Seeing that the team finally scored a goal in an extremely difficult situation, the head coach Ortella immediately jumped up excitedly, clenched his right hand and kept waving in the air, as if to completely shatter the depression of the first half.

The assistant coaches and the players on the bench also ran out of their seats one after another, yelling and releasing the ecstasy in their hearts wantonly.

"Mr. Oltra, I didn't expect that he really did it! It's really amazing! It's incredible!" The assistant coach came to the excited head coach Oltra and praised him sincerely.

"Yes, this is Zhang's potential, this is the huge energy hidden deep in Zhang's body! Just watch, I believe he will perform even more wonderfully!" Oltra nodded, looking at Zhang Xu with eyes full of appreciation.

When Deportivo all cheered for this goal, the Valencia fans quit.

They first broke out with earth-shattering boos, and then began to abuse and insult every player in Deportivo. Many Valencia fans also threw hard objects at the coach's bench and the bench to put pressure on Deportivo.

Even the commentators at the scene began to show great hostility towards Deportivo: "Unexpectedly, Deportivo, with only one person missing, successfully attacked Valencia under the leadership of a penniless Chinese kid and scored a goal. However, I think this is just a flash in the pan!"

"We saw that the Chinese kid has been running at high speed for more than ten minutes in the second half. I think his physical strength has been completely exhausted at this moment. In the following games, he will definitely be beaten by the mighty Valencia when he is in a physical crisis!"

Although the Valencia fans booed loudly and even though the commentators on the scene bad-mouthed the team, the team was able to pull back a goal in such adversity, which greatly boosted the morale of the team.Now, every Deportivo player has great motivation and hope for an equalizer.

At the same time, they have more trust and admiration for Zhang Xu.

In fact, the players in Deportivo still have some opinions on the fact that the head coach has positioned Zhang Xu as the second core of the team in such a short period of time. They believe that Zhang Xu is not strong enough to take on such an important role.

However, because Zhang Xu has always been very humble, and his strength is really strong, coupled with Zhang Xu's completely reckless training, the teammates don't have too many thoughts and opinions in their hearts.

Although he has no idea, it doesn't mean he completely trusts Zhang Xu.

Later, after a series of friendly matches and the first league game, the players' perception of Zhang Xu changed a lot, and they no longer rejected Zhang Xu as the team's second core. However, it was not enough to reach the same level as Belleron.

But today, when the team fell behind by two goals and sent off one player, Zhang Xu stepped forward and pulled the team out of the abyss of failure with one hand, which immediately conquered the hearts of his teammates.

At this point, the last bit of estrangement between Zhang Xu and his teammates completely disappeared, and the entire team finally formed a complete whole, and the strength of the team has also improved by at least three layers.

So after the game continued, although Valencia had begun to be alert and valued Zhang Xu's role, Deportivo's offense was still very sharp under the leadership of Zhang Xu.
