Chapter 124 The Wrong Vallecano

Oltra looked at Zhang Xu who was going away, and sighed.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want Zhang Xu to report to the national team. The team is currently booming, and it is a good time to hit the results. Zhang Xu's report to the national team will not only affect the overall strength of the team, but may also affect Zhang Xu's state.

However, since Zhang Xu is willing to go, it is not easy for him to stop him. Otherwise, the relationship with Zhang Xu will be tense because of the blocking, which will definitely affect Zhang Xu's game mood and be even more detrimental to the team.

You know, Zhang Xu is the real core of the team now. His state, in a sense, directly determines the state of the team and also determines the team's league results.

So, even though he was not happy, Ortera had to let Zhang Xu go back to China.

However, even if Zhang Xu is to be released, he must squeeze out as much value as possible before Zhang Xu leaves, such as the upcoming seventh round of the league.

This game is Deportivo Vallecano away.

Vallecano currently has 7 points in the league and ranks 13th in the standings, while Deportivo has 11 points and ranks 6th in the standings.

Vallecano is also a team in the capital city of Madrid, but compared to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, he is much weaker.He was able to log into La Liga by winning the runner-up in the 2010-2011 season.

After a season, Vallecano gradually adapted to La Liga. Last season, the league scored 43 points, ranking 15th in the standings and successfully relegation.

This season, Vallecano has signed several strong players, and his strength has been improved to a certain extent, which is expected to impact the qualification for European competitions.

However, Vallecano was beaten 6:1 by Valladolid in the last round of the league, and his morale was severely hit. This time he faced Deportivo, who scored two goals against Real Madrid.

Zhang Xu is bound to win this game.

It is understandable to lose to Real Madrid in the last game. After all, Real Madrid is indeed more powerful than me. Now that I meet Rayo Vallecano, if I still can’t win the opponent, then the so-called "dark horse", the rise of "Super Deportivo", and the completion of the main task and the qualification for the European competition will all become empty talk!
Therefore, in the few days before the start of this game, Zhang Xu worked hard, not only increased the offensive organization training against Baccagliano, but at the same time, in order to get more familiar with Bacalieno, he used Vallecano as the object of simulated training in the simulated training at night, and played the game again and again.

To his relief, Vallecano was able to defeat Deportivo at the beginning, but as Zhang Xu gradually became familiar with Vallecano's tactics and players, in the next day or two, Vallecano was no longer able to fight against Deportivo led by Zhang Xu.

2012年10月6日下午01:30，张旭信心百倍地出现在巴列卡诺的主场——巴列卡斯球场。

Due to his outstanding performance in the last game, Zhang Xu became the focus of many media interviews as soon as he appeared.

However, Zhang Xu didn't have time to chat with the reporter. He had to deal with it with a few words, and then followed captain Belleron into the player tunnel.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially started.

Zhang Xu looked very excited. As soon as the game started, he led the team and launched a tidal attack on Bacarieno.

However, Vallecano obviously didn't want to be suppressed by the newly promoted Mara Coruña at home, so they also played more boldly, and the momentum of offense was also one after another.

As a result, the two sides played back and forth in their respective midfield and front courts, playing happily, and the game entered a wonderful stage from the beginning.

However, Vallecano miscalculated Zhang Xu's determination and strength.

In their view, Zhang Xu is a midfielder and should focus on defense first.

However, what they didn't expect was that after Zhang Xu's transformation in the last game, Deportivo's defensive strength has been greatly improved. They can compete against the powerful Real Madrid, and they will naturally be much more relaxed when facing Bacaleno.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xu has been liberated to a certain extent and can devote more energy to organizing the team's offense.

In fact, Zhang Xu did exactly that.

Although Vallecano pressed hard after the start of the game and launched a massive attack on Deportivo, under Zhang Xu's response, Deportivo's defense appeared very solid.

After the defense was solid, Zhang Xu began to strengthen the team's offensive organization.

After the last game against Real Madrid, Zhang Xu not only successfully rose to level 40, but also gained a lot of attribute points randomly rewarded by the system.

In this way, Zhang Xu's strength has been greatly improved.Compared with Zhang Xu before the Real Madrid match, the current Zhang Xu has almost completely changed.

If the current Zhang Xu is placed in the match against Real Madrid, then the probability of Deportivo's equalizer will be greatly increased.

Vallecano has paid enough attention to Zhang Xu, but underestimated Zhang Xu's strength, which is destined to be a tragedy.

In the 11th minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a precise prediction and promptly blocked the pass from No. 8 Gonzalez to No. 9 Carlos, and then sent it to Aguilar on the right.

After Aguilar got the ball, he immediately started quickly and moved along the sideline at high speed.After he crossed the center line smoothly, he was entangled by the opposing fullback.

So, he pushed the arch of his right foot and sent it to Belleron in time.

Belleron didn't stop the ball either, and pushed directly, returning the football to Aguilar again.

At this time, Aguilar has passed the opponent's full-back, and after receiving the ball, he continued to go down the sideline.

The opponent's defender Fogo naturally refused to let him go and followed closely behind.

When Aguilar was about to approach the bottom line, he made a cross directly.

The quality of this cross is very good, fast and flat, and it lands just on the outer edge of the center of the penalty area.

Zhang Xu had spotted the opportunity a long time ago. He rushed in from outside the penalty area at high speed, and then took off at a distance of more than three meters from the flight path of the football.

At this time, his powerful explosive power and jumping were fully revealed, and he overwhelmed all the players who were grabbing points. A beautiful lion shook his head and slammed his forehead on the football!

The powerful force pushed the football into the net at once, and Vallecano's goalkeeper Ruben didn't even have time to react.

The ball went in! 1:0!

This goal immediately stunned Vallecano. They were still immersed in the pleasure of bombing against Deportivo just now, but they didn't expect to be poured a ball by the opponent in a blink of an eye. This gap is really too big!
As a result, their mentality was seriously out of balance!

The morale of Vallecano's players plummeted, they were at a loss, and the team's formation became messy.

At this time, if Zhang Xu doesn't know how to seize the opportunity, then he is not a Chinese Zhang who can score two goals at the Bernabéu.

In the 16th minute of the game, after the game resumed, only 3 minutes later, Deportivo's offensive wave came over.

This time it was Zhang Xu's steal!

When he was defending the opponent's No. 19 Lass, Lass wanted to pass him. Of course, Zhang Xu would not be polite about this. Just when the opponent was about to break through him, he stabbed the football with his right foot, and then leaned on Lass, and easily controlled the football.

Lars was still a little bit dissatisfied, and tried his best to grab the football, but under Zhang Xu's powerful strength, Lars even wanted to shake Zhang Xu's body.

After getting the ball, Zhang Xu didn't take the ball, and directly poked the football to Belleron in front of him.Belleron didn't stop the ball and immediately passed it back to Zhang Xu who was following up.

Zhang Xu pushed the arch of his foot again, and sent the football to the feet of Pi Qi in front.

Pizzi made a beautiful turn around, and after shaking the opponent's defender, he poked the ball with his toe and sent the football to Ricky who suddenly advanced.

Ricky was pinched by two defenders of the opposing team and couldn't catch the ball smoothly at all.

However, he didn't even think about catching the ball. As soon as he missed it, the football passed through his crotch and came to the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, Belleron just arrived, and he shot a low shot directly!
The football sticks to the turf and rolls quickly towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Vallecano's goalkeeper Ruben made a hasty save, unable to stop it at all, and could only watch helplessly as the football rolled into the net.

The ball went in again! 2:0!

If the first goal hit Bacareno's morale, then this second goal directly broke their spine!

So in the following games, Vallecano directly disarmed and surrendered, they completely gave up their offense, and everyone retreated to their own half.

Faced with such a tortoise shell, Zhang Xu has no good solution. He can only use frequent long-range shots and set kicks to see if he can break their dense defense.

However, even so, the effect is still not very good.

Soon, the time in the first half was so exhausted.

After the start of the second half, Vallecano seemed to want to catch Deportivo by surprise, but Zhang Xu, who had always been highly focused, did not give them a chance.

In addition, Zhang Xu also took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's attack, and immediately launched a quick attack after a successful steal.

This time, Vallecano was lucky. After receiving a through ball from Belleron, Ricky volleyed from close at hand, but was thrown out by Ruben who suddenly exploded!

However, this attack also directly wiped out Vallecano's last desire to attack. In the following time, they began to hide and defend with all their members, and they never came out alive or alive.

Zhang Xu really had no good solution for this. In the end, the score of the game was still 2:0, and Deportivo successfully won three points!

Now, Deportivo has 14 points and ranks fourth in the league standings!
