Chapter 31 I owe you another hundred euros

"Devin has received the ball, his choice is to pass the ball! Pass it straight!"

"zhang! GOOOOOOOO Ugh, Zhang Xu's powerful long shot actually hit the crossbar! It's a pity, I think we should suggest to the club to raise the goal of the visiting team by one centimeter in advance, so that Zhang Xu's long shot can make a difference! Haha!"

Gross didn't forget to joke a few words while regretting, which immediately made the fans laugh.For Zhang Xu's wonderful shot, the fans also responded with warm applause.

When Zhang Xu shot, his father also stood up nervously, staring at the football flying towards the goal without blinking. Seeing that the football hit the crossbar and missed, he shook his arm in frustration.

The father turned his head and smiled at the mother who also stood up: "This kid, his game skills have improved a lot. If he played before, he wouldn't be able to shoot like this. Not bad!"

"Of course it's not bad, I don't want to see whose son it is!" The mother puffed up her chest proudly, with a smug expression on her face.

Although Nicola couldn't understand her parents' Chinese, she was still amused by her mother's expression.

Seeing that such a good opportunity failed to score, Zhang Xu waved his hand angrily, thanked Daiwen who passed the ball with a thumbs up, and returned to his position.

"Hi Zhang! Nice shot!"

"What a pity! Zhang, otherwise you would have scored your first goal in the White Stars! However, I have a hunch that you will definitely score today!"

"Come on! Zhang! You will definitely score!"

The teammates around all gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up, Driss even slapped Zhang Xu on the shoulder, and shouted viciously while laughing: "Zhang, you performed so well, you are determined to steal my job!"

Zhang Xu hurriedly pretended to be in pain, holding his shoulders and shouting aggrievedly: "How can it be, boss, didn't you see that I kicked sideways on purpose?"

"Haha, you kid! Haha" Driston was instantly amused by Zhang Xu's antics, pointing at Zhang Xu and laughing.

The commentator Gross keenly saw that Zhang Xu had a strong desire to attack today, so he jokingly said: "Our Chinese zhang, today's state is a bit wrong. In the past, we stayed honestly in the backcourt to build a solid line of defense for our team. What's wrong today? We kicked off the attack with a shocking long-range shot at the beginning!"

"Is it because his dear parents gave him infinite strength? Well, I think, in the future games, we should invite the parents of every player on our team, so that our team will be invincible!"

"Haha." The fans laughed heartily.

"But it's not necessarily the credit of his parents," Gross continued to be funny: "Didn't you see a beautiful lady standing beside his parents? Maybe she gave zhang power. Therefore, in the future, we also have to invite the girlfriends of the team members! Uh, there is a problem. What if a team member has several girlfriends? Who will teach me?"

"Haha." The fans couldn't stand up with laughter.

On the court, Zhang Xu didn't have the energy to listen to Gross' funny commentary at all. He is very busy now, not only to organize the team's defense, but also to organize the team to launch a powerful offense.

It was the first time for him to take on such an important responsibility. At the beginning, he was obviously a little rusty and uncomfortable.As the game progressed, Zhang Xu gradually adapted to his role.

In the 203rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu and Dries cooperated, one pressing, the other cutting off the passing route, and the two teamed up to directly terminate the opponent's attack.

After stealing the ball, Zhang Xu passed the football back to the defender Alexandre, continuing to attract the opponent's forward's attention, but he moved forward quickly.

Alessande gave the ball to the left back Rossello. After taking a few steps forward, Rossello saw that Zhang Xu was already beckoning, so he directly threw a long pass.

The quality of this pass was not high, it was high and floating, and when the ball fell, Zhang Xu had already had the opponent's back tightly attached to him.

Zhang Xu tentatively pushed his shoulders, and found that the opponent's physical strength was far inferior to Pogba's, let alone his own.He made a slight move, and when the ball was about to fall, he pre-blocked the position of receiving the ball.

The opponent's lower back naturally pushes Zhang Xu hard, but it's a pity that Zhang Xu is like a mountain, no matter how hard he tries, I will not move.

Zhang Xu unloaded the football with great ease, then exerted force on his back, and then made a sudden dislocation, causing the opponent who was exerting force almost to fall to the ground.

The strength of his left foot and turning around pulled the ball back, and with his right foot, Zhang Xu passed the opponent's midfielder and faced the goal of the SV Rosler team.

The opponent's defender thought that Zhang Xu was going to shoot from a long distance again, so he stepped forward bravely to block the hole of the gun.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu just pushed with his right foot, and the ball rolled past the rushing defender and came to the center of the empty penalty area.

At this time, Henry rushed to the horse, raised his foot and shot.

The ball passed directly through the opponent's goalkeeper's hands and flew into the gate behind him!The ball went in!
The White Stars lead SV Rosler 1:0!

"Zhang received the pass, haha, the opponent's midfielder can't stand our star monster at all! Zhang suddenly turned around and pulled the ball, broke through the defense of the midfielder, and he wanted to shoot—oh, he passed the ball!"

"Good goal! Henry has arrived, he - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal has been scored! The goal has been scored! Henry received a pass from Zhang and pierced through the goal of the SV Rosler team. Our White Star team leads 1-0!"

Seeing the ball fly into the goal, not only Gross went crazy, but all the White Star fans in the Stade Stadium, they shouted uncontrollably, they jumped tirelessly, and they never stopped waving scarves and flags.
Although it wasn't Zhang Xu's goal, it was his assist after all, so my father was still very excited, jumped up and shouted to his mother: "Go in, go in!"

Nicola, like her parents, waved her scarf and screamed loudly.

After one goal, Zhang Xu completely entered the state of the core of the midfield.

Pass the ball, catch the ball, pass the ball again, and catch the ball again. Under his control, the entire team, whether it is an offensive organization or a solid defense, appears to be in order and not chaotic at all.

At this time, the head coach Ma Zu finally felt relieved. He returned to the coach's bench from the side of the court, and smiled at the assistant coach Philip: "Haha, I was worried that Zhang would not be able to adapt to the new role. Now it turns out that I was wrong! Old Philip, it seems that I owe you another hundred euros!"

"Haha!" Philip laughed heartily: "Mr. Mazu, the good show is yet to come, let's sit here and enjoy Zhang's wonderful performance with peace of mind for now!".

Under Zhang Xu's control, the White Star team became more and more powerful, while the SV Rosler team, which originally wanted to fight against the White Star team, became weaker and weaker, and finally had to shrink back and defend with all their strength.

It is very difficult for a team to play another team that insists on defense.The White Star team is no exception. Facing the tortoise shell of the SV Rosler team, Zhang Xu organized the team to attack several times, but did not make any substantial progress.

Is this really a world problem?

At this time, Zhang Xu's mind suddenly appeared all kinds of game videos he had watched before.

In it, like today's situation is not uncommon, there are also quite a few teams that have successfully broken the turtle shell.

While organizing the attack, Zhang Xu thought about countermeasures.

Slow down the pace of attack?Pull each other out?
feasible!

As a result, Zhang Xu slowed down his attacking pace, and began to turn around in his own half, even deliberately revealing one or two flaws, hoping to pull out some of the opponent's players.

At the beginning, it was really effective, but unfortunately the good times didn’t last long. After being hit by Zhang Xu for a few quick dashes and almost losing the ball again, the opponent was no longer fooled. No matter how many flaws you showed, I just wouldn’t come out!
It seems that we have to change countermeasures!
Create a free kick?

Does the team have a free kick expert?It seems not.

But it is also a way, give it a try!

So, Zhang Xu and his teammates tried to break through with the ball in the opponent's half.

The result was really good, I got three or four set-piece opportunities very quickly, and the position was not bad.However, no matter who served the ball, they failed to make a goal. The level of free kicks is really too low.

Zhang Xu only has a free kick level of 27 points, so he naturally dare not play tricks.

It seems that making free kicks is not very reliable.

Make a corner?
This is also a kind of set ball, but it is just a special kind of set ball.Zhang Xu also tried a few times. Even a jumping king like him, it is really difficult to perform well in the defense of three or four people.

Now there is another trick, that is to shoot both arrows together and grab points in the middle.In other words, the two full-backs used their personal skills to make a pass from the bottom, and then the central player advanced forward to grab a goal!
Come on, see if you can break the tortoise shell of Team SV Rosler!

In the 41st minute of the game, Zhang Xu, who dribbled the ball near the center line, distributed the ball to Dries, who passed it diagonally to Gil.

Under the suggestion of Zhang Xu, Jill pretended to cut in to create a free kick. When the opponent was fooled, he hooked with his left foot and pushed with his right foot. The ball rolled along the sideline and went straight to the bottom line. Jill followed closely.

Jill went down very fast, his legs were like wheels running fast, and soon came to a position less than three meters away from the bottom line.

The opponent's defender was not far away from him, and if he didn't make a pass, he might have no chance. Jill swung his right leg decisively and made a pass.

The ball flew up quickly and drifted towards the middle of the penalty area.

Because in the crossing in motion, Jill uses a relatively large force, so the ball flies very fast and the trajectory is relatively flat.

At this time, in the middle of the penalty area, Henry and Jigery, including Dries, were under the defense of nearly six opponents, waiting for the ball to fly over the center of the penalty area.

coming!

There was a lot of chaos in the penalty area, and Henry finally jumped up, but he completely missed the best time to take off.

At this time, a red figure rushed in from outside the penalty area at high speed, and before the SV Rosler team had time to react, it took off decisively! .

He is Zhang Xu who has been looking for opportunities!

He leaped high, quickly flew over a distance of nearly three meters, and came directly to the top of everyone's heads. Under the terrified eyes of all the SV Rosler team members, he slammed his forehead on the oncoming football.

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound!
The football hit the goal line as if it had been hit by a heavy truck, then bounced over the outstretched hands of the SV Rosler goalkeeper and into the goal!
The ball is in!
Zhang Xu rewrote the score again with his mighty header!
