Chapter 133 Oltra's Mistake

In the 7th minute of the game, when Evaldo tackled the ball, due to his physical decline and deformed movements, he tackled Fabregas.

He got a yellow card and fell down with cramps.

Oltra quickly replaced him and sent No. 6 Aitami.

Because the place where Evaldo fouled was not in the penalty area, it was just Barcelona's direct free kick.

At this time, Messi and Iniesta walked towards the penalty spot at the same time.

Seeing Messi and Iniesta making eye contact, Zhang Xu guessed that they were discussing who should take the free kick.

However, he couldn't tell who made the free throw, so he could only work with Belleron to set up the team's formation.

Because he has the best jumping ability and excellent heading ability, Zhang Xu stands in the middle of the human wall.

Messi and Iniesta took a few steps back at the same time, and they both pretended to take a free kick. Zhang Xu couldn't see any trace of a free kick from their expressions, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

With a "beep", the referee signaled that it was time to make a free throw.

Iniesta and Messi looked at each other, started almost at the same time, and walked quickly to the football.

"It's Messi!" Zhang Xu suddenly noticed that Messi's eyes drifted to the goal, while Iniesta was still staring at the football. He was keenly aware that it was likely Messi's free throw, so he loudly reminded his teammates to focus on Messi.

Sure enough, as he expected, when Iniesta came to the side of the football, he just passed by and didn't touch the football at all.

Messi on the right followed closely, raised his left leg, and slammed the back of the football hard!
With a sound of "bang", the football flew up, like a bolt of lightning, crossed a beautiful arc, instantly crossed the wall formed by Zhang Xu and his teammates, and quickly flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Zhang Xu jumped very high, but he still couldn't touch the football. He could only watch the football fly over his head.

After the football crossed the human wall, it fell very fast. Alzubia had already made a full save. His outstretched arms almost blocked all angles of the football flying into the net.

However, Messi's shot angle was very tricky. The football hit the inner post and bounced into the net!

The ball went in! 2:3!Messi successfully capped at the Riazor Stadium and helped the team surpass the score again 3:2!
Seeing the football flying into the net, Messi was very excited. He yelled frantically and ran all the way to the south stand.It was still his first hat-trick of the season, so the excitement is understandable.

However, Zhang Xu was upset. It was a shame for the team to let Messi achieve a hat-trick in his own stadium.Only by defeating Barcelona can this shame be washed away!

Zhang Xu looked at the Barcelona players who were celebrating recklessly, with hatred.

In order to wash away the shame and to be able to defeat Barcelona, ​​Zhang Xu stepped up his attack once again after the game resumed.

Sometimes he took a long shot from outside the penalty area, sometimes he headed the ball to grab a point, and sometimes he cooperated with Belleron to pass a threatening ball. In the next ten minutes or so, Zhang Xu appeared to be very active.

Zhang Xu's efforts finally paid off at 68 minutes into the game.

This was originally an attack by Barcelona. After receiving a pass from Fabregas, when Messi wanted to dribble away Atami, he was stabbed away by Zhang Xu's sudden oblique tackle.

Etami got the ball easily and without hesitation, he passed it directly to the right of Lawrey.

After Laurel received the ball, he saw that Zhang Xu had already got up, and while running to the empty space, he motioned for him to pass the football over.

Now Deportivo no longer resists Zhang Xu as the absolute core of the midfield. All players have only absolute trust in Zhang Xu.Laurel was no exception. After seeing Zhang Xu waving, he immediately passed the football over.

Zhang Xu faced the rolling football with a big foot, and directly hoisted the football to the frontcourt!

It was not a clearance ball, nor was it a very blind long pass, but Zhang Xu found that Barcelona had only one defender, Alves, who was lagging behind, marking Ricky, and the other defenders were all pressing forward.

So, there was Zhang Xu's long pass!The football quickly crossed the halfway line, past Barcelona's front defenders, just past Ricky and Alves, and fell headlong.

nice shot!Beautiful long pass over the top!

The moment Ricky saw Zhang Xu passing the ball, he realized that this was a rare opportunity, so he immediately started, bypassed Alves' side, and quickly ran towards the penalty area.

And Alves seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he quickly turned around and chased after Ricky.However, just this moment of shock made him fall behind Ricky by two statures.

When the football fell, Ricky leaned on his right foot, and the football rolled forward smoothly. Ricky took a few steps and easily controlled the football under his feet.

It's single-handed!
Seeing this situation, Valdez could only abandon the door and go out, approaching like Ricky.

As an old player who has been playing for many years, Ricky has long been familiar with this kind of one-handed ball. Even if the opponent is a well-known super goalkeeper, at this time he has countless ways to shoot the football into the net.

Here, he only used one method, that is to overtake directly with the ball!
When he was close to Valdes, he made a false shot and knocked Valdez to the ground. Then he jumped over Valdez's outstretched hands, caught up with the football, and shot the football into the net with one kick!
The ball went in! 3:3!Zhang Xu kicked a wonderful pass from Feixian from Tianwai, assisted Ricky to equalize the score again!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Seeing that Ricky had tricked Valdes and shot the football into the goal, Zhang Xu immediately raised his head to the sky and roared wildly.Immediately, countless fans followed Zhang Xu, shouting ecstatically, venting their joy.

Messi looked at Zhang Xu who was screaming loudly, and couldn't help admiring Zhang Xu secretly.The long pass just now is really beautiful, not only the timing is very accurate, but also the strength is just right.

No wonder he can become the core of Deportivo's midfielder. This pass is enough to prove his strength!
Messi nodded and thought to himself: It seems that it is really not easy to win this game.

Messi was right. In the next game, Zhang Xu struck while the iron was hot and continued to attack Barcelona frantically.

In the 70th minute of the game, Captain Belleron finally lost his strength and was replaced by Thomas. Zhang Xu once again put on the captain's armband and became the team's first core.

After Thomas played, the offense organized by Zhang Xu became more active.

This is mainly because Thomas has just entered the field and is full of energy. In addition, Thomas is a player with a strong desire to attack, which coincides with Zhang Xu's fast attack routine, so Deportivo's attack power has been greatly enhanced.

In the 709th minute of the game, Zhang Xu received a pass from Marchena, and he immediately crossed the center line and advanced towards the frontcourt.

Fabregas and Iniesta came from left to right. Zhang Xu's ability to control the ball was very poor, so he pushed it to Thomas in front of him without waiting for the two to get close.

Thomas made two fake moves in a row, passed Busquets directly, and stabbed the football to Ricky before the opponent's Mascherano approached.

Ricky was resisted by Alves and couldn't turn around at all, so he could only pass back to Thomas. Thomas took advantage of the trend and passed the football from the right side of Mascherano's body, while he went around from the left side of Mascherano's body.

The ball is divided!Thomas is indeed bold. He even played a game of man-ball on the edge of the opponent's penalty area.

However, he succeeded this time. After bypassing Mascherano, he easily controlled the football, then aimed at the lower right corner of the goal and shot a low shot!
The angle of this shot is very tricky, and it flies on the grass, so Valdez is very uncomfortable when he saves.

He turned his body completely sideways, unable to pounce on the football, and could only watch helplessly as the football entered the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball went in!Thomas, who just debuted, scored a wonderful goal!

La Coruña overtook the score 4:3!

Seeing their team tenaciously overtaking the score, the fans at Riazor Stadium went completely crazy. They jumped and jumped in the stands, yelled and sang, making the whole scene extremely lively.

There are only 10 minutes left in the whole game!If this score can be maintained, the team will be able to defeat the powerful Barcelona, ​​which is also a rare honor in La Liga!

At this time, Oltra, who was extremely excited, made a mistake. He came to the sidelines and asked the team to recover some and strengthen their defense.

After Zhang Xu saw Oltra's gesture, he didn't quite agree with it.

In his opinion, strengthening the defense is bound to weaken the team's offensive momentum, so that Barcelona can free up more energy to invest in offense!

In 10 minutes, if Barcelona are allowed to attack with all their strength, it will be difficult for the team to defend!
But head coach Oltra has already made a tactical arrangement, and he can only accept it and implement it resolutely, otherwise the team will have two different voices, and the situation will only get worse.

Therefore, Zhang Xu directed the team to slow down the attack, and began to slowly withdraw the entire formation to strengthen the team's defensive strength.

Barcelona saw that Deportivo seemed to have the intention of giving up the attack, and they were suddenly overjoyed: they could finally let go of the attack without any scruples!

Barcelona, ​​which is attacking with all its strength, is indeed strong. Zhang Xu and his teammates have tried their best to defend, but the goal is still like a small boat in the storm, and it is in danger of capsizing.

Sure enough, in the No.808 minute of the game, when Messi was unable to break through Zhang Xu's defense, he passed the football to the middle of the penalty area with a beautiful heel.

Here Cesc Fabregas rushed to the horse, and with a strong shot, he broke through the gate guarded by Alzubia!

4:4!At the end of the game, Barcelona finally equalized the score!
