Chapter 88

Oliveira's actions were fast enough. Early in the morning of the next day, just as the team assembled, he ran to coach Ortella and proposed the idea of ​​living with Zhang Xu.

Oltra immediately agreed to his request because he saw the good relationship between Oliveira and Zhang Xu last night.Therefore, Oliveira swaggered into Zhang Xu's house in accordance with the imperial decree.

For Zhang Xu, Oliveira moved into his home, which has both good and bad sides.The good thing is naturally extra training every day. No matter it is morning or evening training, there is someone to accompany him, which is really helpful for Zhang Xu to improve his ability and level; the bad side is that it is a bit inconvenient for Nicole to come over to visit Zhang Xu, and second, Oliveira is really a mischievous chatterer. At home, Zhang Xu has to endure his nagging like a Tang monk every day.

Well, everything has to be positive, right?Every time Zhang Xu reached the limit of endurance, he could only comfort himself silently like this.

Time flies in the blink of an eye, and several days have passed in a flash.

Today is the day of the friendly match between the team and Villabes Athletic. The team came to the home court of Villabes Athletic.

Athletic Villabes is a Spanish Serie D team, in the precise sense it is an amateur team.

He is the opponent of the first friendly match. Oltra wants to see whether the team's offensive organization can satisfy him when facing the weak.

But what he never expected was that the situation was far beyond his expectation when the match started.

The Villabes Athletic team was very tenacious. Whether it was Belleron's through ball, Thomas' frontcourt organization, or striker Ricky's interspersed movement, they failed to break the Villabes Athletic team's offense for a while.

Seeing that the offense was not smooth, Oltra was dissatisfied, and immediately began to make frequent substitutions in the 10 minutes of the game.

By the end of the first half, he basically rotated the players in the frontcourt almost.

However, there was something about this game that made him very satisfied.That is the defense line led by Zhang Xu.

Under Zhang Xu's control, the Deportivo team's defense was as solid as a mountain, and they did not give the Villabes Athletic team the slightest chance.Basically, every time the Villabes Athletic team crossed the center line, they would be cut off by Zhang Xu or other defenders in the shortest possible time.

During the intermission, Olterra deliberately pulled Zhang Xu out and praised him greatly.However, in the second half, Oltra still adjusted the defense line, and the only one who did not move was Zhang Xu.

In the second half, Oliveira was finally sent up by Ortra.The excited Oliveira shouted at Zhang Xu: "Zhang, if you have a chance, just like extra practice, give me a precise long pass!"

Zhang Xu smiled and nodded in agreement.However, long passing is not that simple for him. You must know that his passing attribute points are only 48 points!It's okay to play a short pass, but a long pass?That accuracy can be considered very good if it can be in place one or two times out of ten.

Oliveira said this because during extra training, Zhang Xu's occasional long pass landed exactly at the feet of Oliveira who was nearly [-] yards away, which shocked Oliveira all of a sudden.

So there was the scene just now.

However, in order to satisfy Oliveira, Zhang Xu really tried many long passes from the backcourt in the second half, but the results were not so ideal.

In desperation, Zhang Xu stopped this stupid behavior and concentrated on running in with his teammates in the defense to build a more stable defense.

Perhaps, things are so miraculous that when you gave up on him, he suddenly gave you a surprise.

This was when the game entered 70 minutes. After Zhang Xu got the ball in the backcourt, he sent the ball out with one kick before the three opponents approached him.

This kick was relatively strong, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a clearance ball. In fact, Zhang Xu really thought so.

However, the clearance ball floated across the center line, passed the midfielders of both sides, and fell directly into the space between the Villabes Athletic defender and the midfielder, and here, Oliveira happened to be wandering here.

Seeing the ball falling by his side, Oliveira was stunned for a moment, then quickly controlled the ball and quickly inserted it into the penalty area of ​​the Villabes Athletic team.

Before the defender of the Villabes Athletic team could react, Oliveira suddenly shot coldly, and the ball pierced through the gate of the Villabes Athletic team in everyone's eyes!

The ball went in! 1:0!

In this way, in a boring friendly match, Oliveira helped the team win the friendly match with a goal under Zhang Xu's assist after clearing the ball.

Although the team won the friendly match, the victory was bitterer than the defeat.A La Liga team, even though they were newly promoted, played against an amateur team in the D-League, but only scored one goal!And this ball also has a lot of luck in it!
What does this mean?This shows that the team's offensive ability is seriously insufficient!
Fortunately for Oltra, Zhang Xu is in the back line, so it is relatively stable.

After this game, Oltra had more thoughts about Zhang Xu, but he didn't discuss it with Zhang Xu for the time being, he wanted to continue watching.

Four days later, on July 7, the second friendly kicked off.

This time the opponent is the Bonferedina team of the Spanish second division.In this game, Oltra underwent major surgery on the midfield.

Belleron's command remains unchanged in the center, with No. 9 Pizzi and No. 11 Ricky in front, No. 10 Thomas hiding behind them, No. 14 Aguilar and No. 16 Gama on both sides, and Zhang Xu behind.

This is a formation with a single defensive midfielder. On the one hand, it can greatly play the role of Zhang Xu's strong defensive ability. On the other hand, Olterra also has considerations. After all, Belleron is old. Once he loses physical strength, he can push Zhang Xu to the top, let Zhang Xu become the team's real offensive and defensive core, and take full charge of the team's overall command!
Of course, the second consideration is only Oltra's preliminary idea, and it will take one game after another to verify its feasibility.

With such a formation, the effect is really good, not to mention the defense, with Zhang Xu there, basically there will be no problems.

After the offensive force in the front has been greatly strengthened, the team's offensive is very fierce. In the 12th minute of the game, Belleron and Thomas cooperated. After a series of inversions, they suddenly kicked the ball through the ball and tore apart the defense of the Bonceletti team. Ricky volleyed into the net!

1: 0!

Immediately afterwards, in the No. 17 minute of the game, Deportivo made a comeback. Thomas made a diagonal pass and assisted Pizzi to jump to the top!

2: 0!

Olterra was very happy to see that his transformation of the team had achieved good results. He said to the assistant coaches around him: "This is the Deportivo in my mind! It would be even better if Belleron was younger!"

"Haha, Belleron is young, how can Zhang stand up?" the assistant coach laughed.

"Yeah, yes!" Oltra exclaimed: "What is it called? There is an old saying in China: You can't have both! I hope that Belleron can pass on his skills to Zhang as soon as possible, and Zhang can grow up quickly and take on the burden of the team's offensive and defensive core!"

"Mr. Oltra, I believe that Zhang will grow up soon! Didn't you realize that today's Zhang is stronger than a few days ago? This growth rate is really amazing!"

"Haha! Yes! Being able to bring Zhang to La Coruña is our biggest achievement this season! According to his growth rate, I believe that he will definitely become a superstar who shines everywhere!"

While they were talking, Zhang Xu rushed across the halfway line unwillingly, and with the cooperation of captain Belleron, he shot another furious shot from outside the penalty area, directly blowing up the opponent's goal! 3:0!

In the second half, when they changed sides and played again, Oltra rotated everyone, even the goalkeeper, and the only one who did not rotate was Zhang Xu.

Not only did Zhang Xu not rotate, but he was pushed to the middle position by Oltra, and he took on the important task of the team's offensive and defensive organization.

Zhang Xu has always been a person who dares to challenge himself, so he was not very nervous when he assumed such an important role for the first time, but he was a little unaccustomed to attacking and defending the organization, especially when attacking the organization.

If you are not used to this, it will have a great impact on the team.

When Belleron organized the offense, because of his rich experience and keen ability to seize opportunities, he organized the offense in the frontcourt in an orderly manner.But when it came to Zhang Xu, it changed completely. The pass was either bigger or smaller, faster or slower.

For a full 10 minutes, Zhang Xu was like a headless fly in the offensive organization, slamming around, without achieving the slightest result.

Fortunately, he is more experienced in defensive organization, coupled with his super strong defensive ability, so the team's defense is still relatively stable and did not give the opponent any chance.

Just when everyone thought that the second half of the game would be like this, a crisp "ding ding" sound suddenly sounded in Zhang Xu's mind!

"Ding ding! Passively trigger side missions: I am the core of the offensive organization! Mission description: The host's offensive organization is terrible, system requirements: increase the team's offensive ability to 75 (currently 40)! Complete the mission: Reward 500 experience points, pass attribute points +1, technology attribute points +1, vision attribute points +1, teamwork attribute points +1; task failure, deduct 1000 experience points, deduct 2 points each of passing, technology, vision, and teamwork attribute points!"
