Chapter 150 Really Control the Rhythm!
Rhythm?What exactly is rhythm?
What should I do to have my own rhythm?

Is it the rhythm to pass and catch the ball quickly?Every pass and catch strives for precision, isn't it the rhythm?The transition between offense and defense is fast and smooth, isn't it rhythm?
For a while, countless thoughts swirled in Zhang Xu's mind, and now he couldn't figure out what the rhythm he needed was.

Looking at the Atlético de Madrid players who were celebrating wildly, Zhang Xu felt sore in his heart. This was not what he wanted to see, but in this game, he had tried his best and brought out all his strengths. Even if he played super-level, he couldn't change much.

Moreover, the team currently has many problems, such as a large number of injured and sick, physical problems and so on.Of course, the most important issue among them is physical fitness.The reason for the physical problems is mainly because the overall age of the team is too old, and the consumption of physical reserves is relatively fast.

After all, Zhang Xu is only one person. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, no matter how far he can run, this problem can only be alleviated slightly.

Unless, unless he can really control the rhythm of the game!
However, with his current ability, he still can't do this. Only when his overall ability reaches more than 85 points, maybe he can achieve it.

If the ability is not up to scratch, can you just watch the team lose?This is obviously not what Zhang Xu wants to see.

The only way, the only breakthrough point, is to be able to grasp the connotation of rhythm, even if it is only a part, it is enough to make Zhang Xu reborn in the midfield organization!
But how to comprehend the rhythm?
Now Zhang Xu can only take all the videos he has watched before, all the knowledge he got from books, all the precepts and deeds about Belleron, all his own personal experience and experience, and use his super-student brain to peel off the cocoons bit by bit, extract the truth hidden in countless expressions, and become the truth that he can grasp.

What exactly is rhythm?

The first thing Zhang Xu thought of was the rhythm in the music!
Rhythm in music, or also called beat, runs through the music from beginning to end, and at every moment, you can feel the role and charm of rhythm in it.

A symphony can be fast or slow, low or high, but no matter whether it is fast or slow, its rhythm is unique. The only thing that changes is how many notes are put into the prescribed rhythm!

If more notes are played, the melody will naturally appear compact and light; if fewer notes are played, the music will sound much more soothing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu couldn't help thinking of football games.

Similarly, in a football game, the time is fixed. No matter how many goals are scored, how much distance is run, and how many times the ball is passed and received during the game, this time will not change.

What changes is the movement of the players in the game, the number of passes and receptions, and the number of offenses and defenses!
Could it be said that controlling the rhythm means controlling the offensive and defensive speed of one's own players within the specified time?No, it's obviously not enough. Controlling yourself is far from enough. To truly control the game, you must completely control the offensive and defensive speeds of both sides of the game regardless of you or me!
This is the real control rhythm!

Be fast or slow, follow my heart!
Now, Zhang Xu has been able to control the rhythm of his team. As long as he wants to attack, with a wave of his hand, every player will actively cooperate with Zhang Xu and launch a fierce attack on the opponent; as long as he says to defend, the team will quickly return to defense. Under Zhang Xu's organization, a solid defense line will be established.

It is easy to control the rhythm of your own team, but it is much more difficult to control the rhythm of your opponent!They won't cooperate with you, but they will do whatever makes you uncomfortable!He will do whatever can make you lose your rhythm!
So, what should be done to hold the opponent's nose and let them follow their own rhythm obediently?
From Zhang Xu's point of view, there are two things to do: first, when the opponent is attacking, he must break the opponent's offensive with the momentum of thunder and disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm!Let their offensive rhythm come to naught!

Second, when the opponent is defending, use your own rhythm to influence the opponent's defensive rhythm, gradually influence, penetrate and even lead the opponent's rhythm to follow your own offensive rhythm!

It has to be said that Zhang Xu was able to think and comprehend so much during the short time when Atletico Madrid celebrated the goal, which is already very good.

Although there is still a long way to go before the true mystery of controlling the rhythm, but after all, it has already entered the room, and it is the first glimpse of the door.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for initially comprehending the ultimate secret of the super midfielder in the game - controlling the rhythm! Currently, the ability to control the rhythm is entry-level (divided into five levels: entry, elementary, intermediate, advanced and perfect)! Hereby, reward the host: all attribute points +2!"

"Because the host's 'Work Devotion' attribute point exceeds 99 points, the work devotion attribute point is locked at 99 points, and the active skill is automatically obtained: wholeheartedly - to increase all the effects of the host's one-hour training by 50.00%! The probability of randomly rewarding attribute points during training is increased by 6%! It can be activated actively, the duration is one hour, and the cooldown time is [-] hours."

"Because the host's 'ambition' attribute point exceeds 99 points, the ambition attribute point is locked to 99 points, and automatically acquires the passive skill: Ambition——Increases the favorability and status of the host in the eyes of all football club head coaches by 20.00%, and increases the host's probability of winning various awards by 20.00%!"

When Zhang Xu heard the sound of "ding dong", he felt a shock all over his body. A powerful force emerged from the deepest part of his body and quickly spread to every corner of his body, making him feel like he was soaking in the hot spring, which was very warm and comfortable.

Soon, this feeling disappeared, followed by a vigorous force all over her body!
Now, his attributes have been fully improved:

Now, behind the attribute panel, there are two special categories, one is active skills and the other is passive skills.

For Zhang Xu who is growing up, the wholehearted skill is still very useful, and can accelerate his growth again; the ambition skill is very useful for Zhang Xu in the future, it can give him more opportunities to join wealthy clubs, and it can also allow him to win more honors and awards.

However, for Zhang Xu, who is playing against Atletico Madrid, these two skills are of no use at all, far less important than the "all attributes +2" reward.

After "all attributes +2", Zhang Xu's current ability has finally reached 80 points, which is already the level of ability of the main players in the top league.

In other words, even if Zhang Xu doesn't break out, even if he doesn't rely on his extremely powerful body, he still has the capital to fight against any player in the top league!
"Okay, Atlético de Madrid, thank you for making me improve so much! Should I thank you?" Zhang Xu felt the powerful power and the earth-shaking changes brought about by the improvement of attributes, and once again showed a confident smile on his face.

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

As soon as the game resumed, everyone, including all the fans at the Calderon Stadium, felt that the current Deportivo, oh, to be precise, the current Zhang Xu should be completely different!

When defending, Deportivo was as stable as ever under Zhang Xu's organization, but in addition to being stable, there was a sense of hierarchy!

When attacking, Deportivo's passes and receptions are still very fast, but they don't have the slightly chaotic feeling before. Now, every attack of Deportivo has a pleasing feeling!

Of course, the biggest change in Deportivo lies in the organization of the midfield. In the past, although Zhang Xu was in the middle, Zhang Xu's ability is still far behind that of Belleron. The organization of the midfield does not have many rules, let alone rhythm.

But now, Zhang Xu's ability has been fully improved, and he has comprehended the ultimate mystery of controlling the rhythm. Under such circumstances, Deportivo's midfield organization has finally improved a bit. Although it is not yet orderly, the order is still much clearer.

As a result, Deportivo, which has been in a passive state, gradually got rid of the passive situation and started to attack and defend with Atletico Madrid.
