Chapter 219 The Bet With Messi
On February 2013, 2, at 9:6 in the evening, Zhang Xu and his teammates came to the Nou Camp Stadium again with the team bus.

As soon as the bus stopped in the parking lot of the stadium, countless sports media reporters gathered around, waiting for the Deportivo players to get off the bus and get the first opportunity to conduct pre-match interviews.

The first one to get off the bus was naturally Deportivo's head coach, Mr. Ortera.

However, the focus of the reporters' interviews was not him, so only a small number of reporters extended their microphones or recording pens to Oltra, and the questions they asked were also very simple, nothing more than how sure you are of winning this game, what kind of tactics the team will play, and so on.

Under the guidance of the security personnel, Oltra responded with ease while walking towards the player tunnel.

When all the members of the coaching staff got out of the car, the second batch to get off, the team captain Belleron was naturally the one in front.Behind Belleron is the team's second captain, who is also the focus of the reporters' interviews --- Zhang Xu!

As soon as Zhang Xu showed his face, most of the reporters rushed towards him.

Belleron patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, gave him a self-seeking look, and then walked straight towards the player tunnel very shamelessly.

"Zhang, hello, I'm XXX, a reporter from Marca, do you think you and your team will win this game today?"

"Barcelona is a great team with many stars and strong strength. It is our strongest opponent! However, our Deportivo team has always been a team that dares to challenge itself to challenge a strong enemy, so I believe that this must be a wonderful game!" Zhang Xu's wording is very particular. After all, facing an opponent like Barcelona, ​​​​he has no certainty of winning, but only the confidence of winning.

"Hi Zhang, I'm XXX, a reporter from "Aspen Daily". Are you confident to score in today's game?"

"Scoring goals is inevitable, the key is how many goals you score, I can't guarantee this!" Zhang Xu has so many incredible skills, he believes that he will be able to create goals.

"Wow, why do you firmly believe that you can score goals? Do you think you are strong, or do you think Barcelona's defense is weak?" The reporter followed up and asked.

"I think I'm lucky today!" Zhang Xu smiled. He simply used luck to avoid the hole the reporter dug for himself.

Afterwards, Zhang Xu answered a few more questions. Due to time constraints, he could only express his apologies, then rejected many reporters' questions, and walked into the player tunnel with the team.

At 6:40 p.m., Zhang Xu and his teammates changed their jerseys, followed captain Belleron, and entered the Nou Camp Stadium for the final pre-match warm-up and training to adapt to the venue.

When they walked out of the player tunnel, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.The huge stadium was completely occupied by red and blue colors. Countless fans waved their flags, scarves, and hands, shouting and singing loudly. These sounds and images gathered together to form a majestic frenzy, rushing towards Zhang Xu and others.

The players of Deportivo, after seeing such a scene, couldn't help being shocked, and their feet stopped.

Even the seasoned captain Belleron couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

However, to Zhang Xu, this is nothing more than a beautiful and spectacular scenery, and his determination as high as 93 points cannot be disturbed by these external factors.

"Wow, this is really spectacular! I like this atmosphere! I prefer to fight in this atmosphere! Haha!" Zhang Xu hugged Belleron, walked out from the player tunnel, raised his hands, took a deep breath with great enjoyment, and shouted loudly.

"Haha! Yes! It would be even better if we could kill Barcelona in such an atmosphere! Haha!" Belleron reacted immediately, and he immediately shouted to his teammates behind him.

"Haha, it's done!" "Yes, get rid of Barcelona!" "Hey, we are Super Depor, what are you afraid of! Do it!".
For a moment, the teammates were all ashamed of the fear just now, and responded to Zhang Xu and Belleron one after another.

Seeing that the teammates successfully eliminated the influence of the Barcelona fans on them, Zhang Xu and Belleron smiled at each other, then quickly boarded the court, and started a 15-minute warm-up and adaptive training according to the requirements of the coaching staff.

"Fans and friends, welcome to the great Camp Nou stadium. I am the well-known on-site commentator Sears!" At this time, the voice of the on-site commentator sounded in the huge Nou Camp stadium.

"Today is the match day of the No.20 seventh round of La Liga. Our great Barcelona will face the black horse Coruña, who has recently been in the limelight, in our temple - the Nou Camp Stadium!"

"Deportivo Deportivo were originally promoted this season, and their strength is mediocre. But their head coach, Mr. Oltra, made a very wise and cost-effective deal last summer, that is, he bought back the magical Chinese zhang from Sheffield United in the League One at the price of cabbage."

"This is the Chinese Zhang. After joining Deportivo, he showed a strong defensive ability and immediately occupied the main position of the team. Afterwards, he grew up rapidly and gradually became an indispensable midfielder for Deportivo!"

"It is because of the joining of the Chinese Zhang that the strength of Deportivo has been greatly improved. It has completely turned an ordinary or even inexperienced Deportivo into a dark horse in La Liga, and it is a dark horse all the way to the end! Deportivo is now ranked fourth in the league, but the gap with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is very small."

"Even not long ago, they defeated Real Madrid with a score of 4:3! And successfully advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey!"

"These achievements are inseparable from this magical Chinese government!"

"So, if our great Barcelona wants to win today's game, we must first completely stare at this Chinese leader! Otherwise, he will bring endless troubles to our Barcelona!"

"Of course, we have reason to believe that our great Barcelona will defend their dignity at Camp Nou and win the game! Now, let us cheer for our team together!"

"Barcelona! Viva! Viva!!! Viva!!!"

Encouraged by the on-site commentator, nearly [-] fans of Camp Nou responded and shouted loudly.

Such a roaring tsunami not only ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, but also ignited the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. The Barcelona players who were training on the field waved their hands excitedly towards the stands, and a strong sense of self-confidence and pride was immediately displayed on them.

On the contrary, it was the players of Deportivo, who were attacked by this powerful sound wave, and many of them looked a little bit panicked.

"Haha, my dear, what a big aura! What a magnificent aura! If we deport Barcelona in front of them, will it make them even crazier?" Zhang Xu clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly.

The teammates thought to themselves, really, if they can defeat Barcelona in front of 10 people, even if their own strength is really weak, then they are proud enough!

Thinking of this, all the team members suddenly seemed to have received a shot in the arm, and a sense of pride and fighting spirit emerged spontaneously.

Seeing this scene, Belleron couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Zhang has more and more the ability and temperament of a team leader. Every time at a critical moment, he can keenly discover the problems existing in the team and solve them quickly with the simplest and most effective method.

Such a player will be the most precious asset of a team wherever he goes!
When thinking of this, Belleron couldn't help but think about Zhang Xu's transfer. As the saying goes, there are no rumors. Since there are such rumors, there must be such a possibility.

It's really hard for him to imagine, if Zhang leaves the team, what else can Deportivo use against La Liga?Perhaps, only the pig-headed mind of that damned stingy chairman would think of selling zhang for cash!
Alas, resign yourself to fate!Belleron sighed deeply.

However, first of all, you have to help Zhang fight well in this game!Get rid of Barcelona!Belleron cheered up and continued training.

Soon, the warm-up training was over, and the players of both sides returned to the player tunnel and entered their respective locker rooms under the signal of the staff.

"Hey, Zhang, let's make a bet, how about it?" After Zhang Xu entered the player tunnel, he saw Messi waiting for him at the tunnel entrance with a smile on his face.

"Oh, what are you betting on?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"Just bet on who will score more goals in this game! Whoever scores more goals wins, and whoever scores fewer goals naturally loses. Whoever wins will have a treat at the bar tonight. If it is a draw, let Xiaobai treat him, how about it?"

"Comrade Messi, first, you are the striker and I am the midfielder. I am one step behind in nature; second, why do you have to treat me when I win? Why not treat me when I lose?" Zhang Xu rolled his eyes and said.

"Haha, just because I'm the striker and you are the midfielder, it's a treat to win!" Messi said with a big laugh.

"So, are you sure you've scored more goals than me?"

"Of course!" Messi said confidently.

"Okay, since you said so, then I'll take the bet! It's a deal!" Zhang Xu said loudly with a high-five high-five with Messi.

Do you score a goal?Although I do not score as many league goals as you, I am not a vegetarian either!Then let you see my powerful offensive power!
