Chapter 66 How do you want us to play football?
Zhang Xu has always been a man of his word. Since he promised Wilson that he must play a good game, he will definitely fulfill it seriously.

Therefore, he completely put aside the transfer matter and devoted himself to training.

Of course, the reporters and scouts will not let him go so easily. As long as he leaves the club, many reporters will gather around to ask him about the transfer; while those scouts stick to the barbed wire fence of the training ground every day, faithfully recording every move and every second of Zhang Xu's state.

And those clubs that were interested in Zhang Xu, after being rejected by Sheffield United for the first time, did not shrink back because of this, but raised their offers one after another, and sent the quotations to Sheffield United again.

In the second frenzy of quotations, the highest quotation has reached 150 million pounds. This is the Crystal Palace Club of the British Championship. It seems that they are determined to bring Zhang Xu to the Selhurst Stadium.

However, Wilson, the head coach of Sheffield United, has no time to deal with these boring offers. Like Zhang Xu, he put all his energy on the match with Porov.

2012年4月29日，是11－12赛季第45轮的比赛日。

On this day, Sheffield United will face the visiting Borov team at Bramall Lane!

For Sheffield United, this game is a key battle to determine their place in the Championship, while for Porov, it is a key battle with Notts County to qualify for the Championship play-offs.

The two key battles have come together, and it is destined that this game will be extremely fierce!
In order to ensure the victory, Wilson sent the main force to play; Porov was not to be outdone, and they also placed the main lineup that had played for the whole season on the Bramall Lane Stadium.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with only 10 minutes left before the start of the game, the huge Bramall Lane Stadium was already full of Blades fans wearing red jerseys. At a glance, there was a sea of ​​red.

This sea of ​​red is constantly rolling, and all Blade fans are singing, shouting, clapping their hands vigorously, waving flags and scarves, lighting various fireworks, and so on.

Their only purpose in doing this is to give the team some encouragement and help, and similarly, to let the visiting team see their huge momentum.Of course, if you can scare the opponent's players to pee their pants, that would be the best result.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the game officially started. Zhang Xu and his teammates filed out from the player tunnel. Every time a player appeared, the entire Bramall Lane stadium burst into deafening shouts.

When Zhang Xu came out, all Blade fans shouted Zhang Xu's name loudly with all their strength!
Among these shouts, Zhang Xu could vaguely hear some fans shouting: "Zhang, we love you, please don't leave us!"

Zhang Xu was quite moved. Fans are always the cutest. They love the team without complaint and love every player in the team. As long as you work hard for the team, they will give you selfless love.

Now, although all the blades know that they are likely to leave, they still love themselves deeply and hope that they will not leave. How can Zhang Xu not be moved by this deep emotion?
That being the case, let me repay your love with my own performance!Zhang Xu took a deep breath, stretched out his hands while running, and waved to the Blades fans in the stands.

"Beep!" With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

Zhang Xu was extremely excited when the game started.He seemed to want to consume all his physical energy, running desperately, stealing desperately, organizing defense desperately, and launching crazy attacks towards the opponent desperately.

Originally, Porov wanted to dig a piece of meat from Sheffield United to increase his chances of winning in the competition with Notts County, but after seeing Zhang Xu's performance like a chicken blood, Porov's players suddenly became wilted.

In the 7th minute of the game, Porov's No. 10 Craig dribbled the ball. He had just entered Sheffield United's half and was about to use his superb passing skills to pass No. 14 Williamson who was defending him head-on.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a red figure running towards him at a high speed. Before he could react, he made a standard tackle and sent the football under his feet flying. Then he quickly got up and ran forward like the wind.

Craig stared at the other person's back stupidly, the big "25" number on it made him helpless.

It turns out that this is the Chinese Zhang, this is the "Warcraft Zhang"!Really great!
In the 11th minute of the game, Craig dribbled the ball again. He entered the Sheffield United half again.

Soon, Williamson was on top, pestering him not to let him go any further.Craig had no choice but to push the arch of his foot, ready to pass the ball to the nearest teammate No. 8 Stacy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his foot moved, Zhang Xu, who was five meters away from Stacey, followed suit. When the ball came in front of Stacey, Zhang Xu just stretched out his foot, gently poked the ball, and poked the ball to No. 8 Michael who responded.

In the 16th minute of the game, it was still Craig. He once again brought the ball into the Sheffield United half.

The pass was a mid-high, and the ball flew over the heads of Williamson and Michael and fell toward Freeman.

Before the ball fell, Zhang Xu started it quickly, and the speed of 94 points exploded. When Freeman was about to get the ball, he suddenly soared into the air and flew the ball headfirst.

Seeing this scene, Craig was completely dumbfounded. He entered the Sheffield United half-court three times in a row, and was destroyed by the Chinese Zhang three times in a row.

At this time, Craig really wanted to ask Zhang Xu, you Jiang Zi, how do you want us to play football?
Soon, Zhang Xu gave Craig the answer with practical actions.

In the 19th minute of the game, Zhang Xu once again intercepted the opponent's pass and gave the ball to Williamson in front.

After Williamson got the ball, he passed the opposing player's counterattack, and then quickly advanced forward with the football. Soon, the opponent's No. 16 Chris forced him up.

Seeing that there was no good chance, Williamson distributed the football to Michael who was supporting him.

Before Michael received the ball, he was bumped by the opponent's No. 29 Patrick, and almost lost control of the football. When he lost his center of gravity, he happened to see Zhang Xu approaching quickly, and quickly poked the ball over.

After seeing Zhang Xu receiving the ball, the referee immediately stretched his hands forward to signal the game to continue.

Zhang Xu has no habit of dribbling the ball. After he stopped the ball, he directly passed the ball through and accurately sent the ball to No. 9 Evans who was in front of him.

This pass is very long, with a distance of 20 meters, so it is very particular. If the pass is slow, it is likely to be cut off by the opponent from the middle; if the pass is fast, Evans may not be able to catch the pass and waste the opportunity.

From this pass, it can be seen that Zhang Xu's 47-point pass attribute is indeed not covered.

After Evans received the ball, only one of Porov's defenders was marking him. Seeing an opportunity, he quickly made a diagonal thrust. After pulling away from a certain position, he shot decisively!

The ball stuck to the lawn and quickly flew to the lower right corner of the goal.

Porov's goalkeeper Patrick reacted quickly. He immediately stretched his arms and rushed towards the ball.

However, the flying speed of the ball was much faster than the speed at which he fell!

Therefore, before he blocked the angle, the ball went straight into the goal behind him, causing a white wave!

The ball is in!
Sheffield United lead Porov 1-0!
When the ball flew into the net, Bramall Lane immediately set off a wave of red joy. All Blade fans jumped up and applauded loudly for Evans' wonderful goal and Zhang Xu's assist.

After leading by one goal, Sheffield United played more easily.

Zhang Xu's performance has also become more active. He is not limited to active defense, but starts to advance frequently, cooperates with his teammates, and plays wonderful offensive cooperation time after time.

In the 208th minute of the game, Zhang Xu received a pass from Michael outside the penalty area and shot the ball directly on Porov's goal post, which shocked Porov's head coach into a cold sweat.

In the 305th minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a comeback. After a beautiful cooperation with Evans near the penalty area, he shot a low shot.

It's a pity that the quality of this shot was really not that good, not to mention the shot was too straight, and it didn't have much strength, so it was easily confiscated by Porov's goalkeeper.

However, Zhang Xu's efforts finally borne fruit when the game progressed to No. 40 two minutes.

In the 40nd minute of game No.[-], Zhang Xu broke through the opponent's defense, took the football across the center line, and advanced towards the opponent's hinterland at high speed.

The opponent's No. 8 Stacey was the first to push up. Zhang Xu didn't stop at all, and just passed the ball by himself. Using his own speed, he left the opponent behind.

Then, the opponent's defender No. 5 Jon also rushed up. Zhang Xu pushed the arch of his foot and sent the ball to Evans on the left front, and then went around from the right side of No. 5 Jon's body.

Evans understood and immediately sent the ball back.

After Zhang Xu received the ball, there was only the last defender No. 2 Laurie in front of him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Laurie rushed forward.

At this time, Zhang Xu picked under the ball with his right toe, and the ball passed over Laurie's head and fell behind him.

Zhang Xu smiled from Laurie, bypassed Laurie at high speed, and then rushed towards the falling ball before the opponent's goalkeeper attacked, and shot fiercely!

The ball turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in front of everyone. When it reappeared, it was lying obediently in the net and spinning around!

The ball is in!
Sheffield United led Porov 2-0 at the end of the first half!
