legendary midfielder

Chapter 79 A chance to create a miracle!

"Mr. Jose-Oltra, Mr. Soros, welcome to my hometown! I don't know what is the important thing for you to travel all the way to China to find me?" After Zhang Xu said a polite word, he directly entered the topic.

Jose Ortra and Soros looked at each other, and then Jose Ortra said: "Zhang, I think you should know the price we offered you? The main purpose of our visit today is to discuss transfer matters with you."

"Deportivo is a team with a long history and a brilliant record in Spain. It has the reputation of 'Super Deportivo'. I have always longed for Deportivo. However, you know, for a young player like me, the transfer is very important to me, so I have to be more cautious."

"I can understand this. We in La Coruna are also very sincere to you. You see, we can fly from Spain to China. Doesn't this reflect our greatest sincerity?"

"Thank you for your attention to me! However, I want to hear how you arrange for me? This is very important to me!" Zhang Xu didn't want to be entangled in polite words, so he went straight to the point.

When it came to the topic, Mr. Jose Ortera also became serious. He put away his smile and replied seriously: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Soros has observed you for nearly three months, during which I also watched your games. To be honest, you gave me a very deep impression."

He paused, looked at Zhang Xu's expression, and continued: "Your characteristics are very prominent, mainly reflected in several aspects: First, your physical fitness is very, uh, terrifying, and your strong physical fitness can support you to run at full strength for 90 minutes! This is the best physical player I have ever seen, such as your game against Birmingham."

"Secondly, your defensive ability is outstanding, with fierce and precise steals, active running, a very large defensive area, a strong sense of off-ball running, and a strong sense of position. If you count your superior physical fitness, your defensive ability can already gain a foothold in the top league."

"Thirdly, your desire to attack is also relatively strong. Although you are a defensive midfielder, you have a strong desire to attack. Every time the team is in a stalemate, you will stand up and attack the team with an extremely arrogant attitude! This can be seen from your goals and assists in the first half of the season."

"Fourth, you have the potential to be an organizing midfielder. We have seen from many of your games that you have assumed important responsibilities for the team's defensive organization. At the same time, you seem to be consciously training your ability to attack and organize, and your offensive organization has also improved very rapidly. Therefore, we have reason to believe that as long as you are given a certain amount of space and time, you will definitely grow into an excellent organizational midfielder!"

"Fifth, we learned from the side that you seem to have a very special magic power. This may be the charm of your character, which makes it very easy for you to get along with your teammates. Therefore, every team, every player or coach you are in praises you, and even your former opponents are very friendly or even admire you. So I believe that after you come to our Deportivo, there will be no problem of integrating into the team. At the same time, we found that you have an invisible appeal to the teammates around you. As long as you The teams you have been in, when you get along with them, you will gradually unite them together, forming a united, friendly, and positive atmosphere. The original internal conflicts of the team have gradually been resolved, and some vicious competitions have gradually evolved into healthy competitions! Zhang, I have to admit that you have the potential to be the captain of the team!"

"Sixth, in fact, this is what Mr. Soros and I value most about you. That is, your growth rate is really amazing! With all due respect, a year ago, you could only be regarded as a semi-professional player, and your ability level was still very low. But look at you now, you already have the ability to gain a foothold in the top league! Such a terrifying growth rate is really very rare!"

At this time, Jose Ortera paused for a while, drank his coffee, looked at Zhang Xu who was listening intently, smiled, and continued: "Seventh, we also found that competitions, especially official competitions, can greatly promote your growth! So, I think, if you transfer this time, you must be very concerned about whether you can get a stable chance to play, right?"

Hearing this, although Zhang Xu's expression didn't change, he was still very shocked in his heart. This Jose Ortera seemed to really care about himself, and he was able to understand himself so thoroughly!

This made Zhang Xu have a certain affection for Jose Ortera deep in his heart.

Zhang Xu picked up his coffee, took a sip, and replied unhurriedly: "Thank you very much for Jose Orterra's evaluation of me! Yes, no matter which club I transfer to, my biggest request is to give me enough chances to play! To put it bluntly, I will join whoever gives me a stable chance to play!"

Jose Ortera looked at Soros again, and burst into hearty laughter at the same time: "Haha, Zhang, in fact, I came here, on the one hand, to show the sincerity of our Deportivo, and on the other hand, to promise you: If you join Deportivo, you will be a very important member of our team!"

Speaking of this, Jose Ortera seemed to know that Zhang Xu would not be satisfied with such flimsy clichés. He continued, "Of course, I can only entrust you with the core responsibility of the defensive organization, but when you really grow up, I will make you the core of the team and build a new Deportivo around you! What I want to know is, do you have the confidence to become the most important member of the team in the near future? Or, are you willing to become the captain of the team in the near future?"

Speaking of the latter, Jose Ortra's tone became serious, and he looked at Zhang Xu with burning eyes.

"Core? Captain?" Zhang Xu was startled!
He never thought that Deportivo's coach Jose Oltra would have such high expectations for him. At this moment, he even had the urge to join Deportivo immediately.

He suppressed the impulse in his heart, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, what Jose Ortra said completely moved Zhang Xu.Zhang Xu was originally unwilling to go to a newly promoted La Liga team, even if he was a former "Super Depor".

But now, infinite ambitions suddenly appeared in his heart!

What about a newly promoted horse?So what if the team is weak?As long as there are enough games, I will definitely be able to improve quickly!One season, no, half a season, oh no, it may only take two or three months, and my ability will undergo earth-shaking changes.

At that time, I will truly have the ability and level to dominate the top league!

By that time, he has the confidence to lead the team to win one victory after another!Finally create a miracle that makes the world unbelievable!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu raised his head, smiled at Jose Ortra and Soros, and said, "Mr. Jose Ortra, your words really touched me, thank you for treating me so seriously! However, please understand that this is the most important decision in my life after all, so please give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"Oh, of course!" Jose Ortera agreed generously, and then smiled at Soros: "Old man, it seems that we have time to visit this beautiful and mysterious China!"

"Haha, this is my favorite thing to do! I'm afraid you won't be able to stay idle!" Soros joked.

After Zhang Xu and Nicola returned to their hotel, they called Anderson: "Old man, Deportivo's head coach Jose Ortella came to China today and talked with me face to face for nearly an hour."

"What?! He went to China?" Anderson was sleepy at first, but Zhang Xu's words woke him up completely: "What did he talk to you about? What kind of conditions did he give you?"

Zhang Xu described the situation of the negotiation to Anderson in its original form, and finally asked: "Old man, his condition really moved me, what's your opinion?"

"I didn't expect this Jose Orterra to value you so much! In this case, I also suggest that you choose La Coruña! What is it called, oh, I remembered, there is a saying in your China called, oh, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, right?"

"Yes! Perhaps this is a rare opportunity for me! An opportunity to truly become stronger! An opportunity to create miracles! An opportunity to attract the attention of the world!" Zhang Xu said with confidence.

"Haha, okay! Boy, I like your confident tone! I like you! Haha!" Anderson teased and continued: "If you make a decision, then leave the follow-up matters to me!"

"Hmm, I would like to ask you to find out more about Dr. Wenger's bottom line. Frankfurt can also ask about the final bottom line. Anyway, I want a stable chance to play! I have to be more cautious. Old man, isn't that what you told me?"

"Okay, after two days, I will give you the final answer!"

"Thanks, old man, I'll bring you a bottle of Moutai later!" Anderson is good at wine and is very fond of Chinese Moutai, so when Zhang Xu plans to go back, bring him some by the way.

"One bottle? Kid, are you too petty? Why don't you need a box!"

"One box? You don't want to die, do you?"

(I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year, good health, all the best, and a happy family!)
