Chapter 12 Zhang Xu, who is advancing by leaps and bounds

Just as he was about to fall asleep and start today's simulation training, Zhang Xu suddenly remembered that he already met the criteria for upgrading again.

"upgrade!"

"Okay! Upgrading is in progress!"

Accompanied by the wonderful music, another golden light rose from Zhang Xu's body and pierced into the sky. "Congratulations to the host! The upgrade is complete, and your current level is level 2. You will automatically get 5 free attribute points!"

"Now, please host to choose to assign attribute points!"

"Continue to add it to teamwork!" Zhang Xu seems to be planning to completely improve his level of cooperation with teammates, adding all 5 attribute points to teamwork again, so teamwork has become 21!

Zhang Xu's mind immediately cleared up, and he seemed to understand some tactical things.

He looked at the data that he had changed a lot, and entered the virtual world of simulation training contentedly
Time passed day by day. With the help of Philip and the super midfield training system, Zhang Xu devoted himself to training hard, accumulated experience points to upgrade, and gained system benefits to increase attribute points. It seemed that there was only a few or ten points of increase every day. When he looked back after a few days, the magnitude of the increase was incredible even to Zhang Xu himself.

Today is August 8, and tomorrow is the official start of the Second Division.

After nearly a month of training, Zhang Xu's player level has directly climbed to an astonishing level 6!And the personal attributes have completely changed:

Through this data, we can see that the important attributes related to the defensive midfielder, such as steals, marking, anticipation, sense of position, and teamwork, have basically reached the minimum standard (30) that exceeds or approaches the professional athletes of the Belgian Second Division.

And the current ability value has officially broken through the 30 mark, reaching 31 points!
That is to say, Zhang Xu's ability can already be based on the Belgian Second Division!
Now, no matter whether it is a group confrontation or a tactical practice match against the main players of the first team, Zhang Xu has transformed from an amateur player who can pass him by anyone like a stroll in the garden, into a backcourt iron gate!
With vicious steals, accurate judgment, and active running, the defensive range covers the entire midfield. As long as the football passes the center line, Zhang Xu will definitely appear on the opponent's attacking route and make effective interceptions in a timely and accurate manner.

It has to be said that Zhang Xu has become a backcourt general in the U21 team!
Although there are still deficiencies in some aspects, such as passing and dribbling, Zhang Xu can be regarded as basically competent in defense.

In just one month, such a big change has taken place in Zhang Xu, no matter in anyone's eyes, it is a remarkable miracle.

Therefore, everyone saw Zhang Xu's rapid progress, with surprise on his face and satisfaction in his heart.

Teammates often tease Zhang Xu with envy and hatred, saying that a top student is a top student, and he learns football much faster than others, and one month's progress is equal to others' one year's progress!
Of course, the one who was most satisfied naturally belonged to old Philip. He was not only satisfied, but also had a sense of pride.

At the beginning, I gave Zhang Xu a chance, and I also insisted on helping Zhang Xu. Now that Zhang Xu has made such great progress, he naturally feels a sense of accomplishment.

In the past few days, Philip invited the head coach of the first team, Ma Zu, to the U21 team almost every day, and then organized a group match to let Ma Zu see Zhang Xu's astonishing progress.

"Mr. Mazu, I think that Zhang's ability has already established himself in the first team. Would you like to give him a chance?" Philip looked proudly at Zhang Xu who was galloping on the training ground, and turned his head to suggest to Mazu.

In fact, these days, Ma Zu can see Zhang Xu's astonishing progress every day, and he has already been tempted by Zhang Xu from the bottom of his heart.

However, the team's formation has been formed, and the league is coming soon. If Zhang Xu is rashly inserted, Matsu is worried that it will have a bad impact on the team's formation, so he has not made up his mind for a long time.

"Philip, I don't deny Zhang's progress, and I don't deny that he has the ability to join the first team to play in the second division. But, uh, you know the situation of the team, so can you take it easy?" Ma Zu pondered for a while, and slowly expressed his point of view.

"Okay!" Philip shrugged helplessly: "You respect your opinion, but I hope you can take this kid away as soon as possible. There is almost no room for this brat here. You know, it's not him who suffers from giving him special training every day, but my old bones! Haha!"

"Haha." Mazu was also amused by Philip's humor.

Seeing the two main players in charge of the team laughing, the players were a little baffled. They never thought that Zhang Xu, who had just become a teammate with them, would almost leave the U21 and enter the first team they had dreamed of for a long time.

After the day's special training, Philip shook the sweat off his brow and handed Zhang Xu three tickets.

"Zhang, this is the first game of the league tomorrow afternoon - the tickets for our White Star home game against Brussels, you and James and his wife go and see it together, I believe you will like it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Philip!" Zhang Xu took the ticket and was quite happy in his heart. After coming to Europe, he was busy studying and training all day long, and he didn't even have time to watch a real European league. This time, his dream finally came true.

After extra practice, Zhang Xu returned to his new home, and after telling James about the ball tickets, the James and his wife were very happy.

"Zhang, thank you very much, Mr. Philip. Tomorrow afternoon, I will drive and wait for you in the parking lot of your training ground. Haha, you never imagine how unrestrained the enthusiasm of our White Star fans is!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, James and his wife showed up in the parking lot next to the training on time.

When Zhang Xu got into the car, he was shocked because the back seat of the car was filled with all kinds of fan scarves, horns, team flags, etc., and even the faces of James and his wife were painted with the red and white patterns of the White Stars.

Seeing Zhang Xu's surprised expression, James looked smug, and he said to Zhang Xu: "This is the basic equipment for our Baixing fans, and there are many things I didn't bring. By the way, Zhang, do you want to paint your face like ours?"

"Uh, alright!" Zhang Xu thought about it and thought it was quite interesting, so he agreed.

The game starts at 3000pm on the old Stade Stadium.The stadium is small and can only accommodate about 2500 people, with a total of [-] seats.

It was about 02:30 when Zhang Xu and others came to the stadium, half an hour before the start of the game.However, at this time, the entire Stade Stadium was completely boiling.

When Zhang Xu and James and his wife came to the seats, almost all the seats were full, and no one really sat down. Everyone was standing, waving scarves or flags in their hands, and singing the White Star team anthem loudly.

Although there were only about 3000 people, the neat team anthem, the extremely crazy shouts, and the sound of horns rendered the atmosphere of the entire stadium as hot as boiling water.

Especially when the players of the home team, the White Stars, began to enter the field one by one, every time the commentator read a name, all the fans of the White Stars repeated it loudly and continuously. The extremely crazy enthusiasm made Zhang Xu's scalp tingle with excitement.

Even if he did not represent the team in the game, even if he was only a member of the U21 team, in the face of such a crazy atmosphere, no one could escape the extreme idea of ​​dedicating his life to this team.

Zhang Xu is no exception!

At this time, he understood Mr. Philip's profound intention!
The game started quickly, and as the game progressed, there was a wonderful attack after another, a successful defense after another, and a wonderful goal after another, each time setting off a wave of madness at the Stade.

The final score of this game was 2:2. The White Star team took the lead twice in a row relying on the home court advantage. Unfortunately, the team failed to hold on to the advantage and was finally tied tenaciously by Brussels.

Although they failed to win the game, the fans still cheered for their team.Everyone knows that Brussels is an old first-tier team. After the unexpected relegation last season, although the team's strength has declined, it is still much stronger than the newly promoted White Star team. It was a good result to lead the score twice in a row. Even though it was tied.

Therefore, when the game ended, the fans stood up one after another and gave the team neat applause and praise.

"Hey, James, who is this guy next to you? Why have you never seen him before?" At the end of the show, a middle-aged man greeted James and his wife warmly after seeing them.

"Haha, are you talking about Zhang?" Speaking of Zhang Xu, James immediately said triumphantly: "Zhang is from China in the far east. He is currently serving as the main defensive midfielder for our U21 team. I believe he will soon appear on the field like today!"

"China zhang?" Hearing what James said, the people around gathered around curiously, saying in one go:

"Chinese?"

"I saw him on the official team website! Great lad!"

"Haha, work hard lad, we're looking forward to seeing you at the Stade!"

Finally, the middle-aged man patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder: "Your name is Zhang? Now that I'm your fan, will you surprise me?"

"It will, and soon!" Zhang Xu was full of confidence.

"Haha, okay, I like confident boys!" After hearing Zhang Xu's swearing words, the middle-aged man and the surrounding fans laughed happily and gave Zhang Xu their thumbs up.

Looking at the old Stade Stadium, Zhang Xu made up his mind: Just wait, I will appear here soon!
