legendary midfielder

Chapter 173 Football is round!
From Zhang Xu's attribute panel, we can see that Zhang Xu's attributes have been greatly improved.

First of all, the current ability finally broke through 85 points, reaching 86 points!This shows that Zhang Xu's ability has fully reached the standard of a top player!What is a top player?It is the player who occupies the main position in the top clubs of the top league!

With Zhang Xu's current strength, it is enough for him to gain a foothold and occupy an important position in many wealthy clubs!

At the same time, after passing this hurdle, Zhang Xu suddenly felt that his spirit seemed to be different all of a sudden. A unique demeanor and a unique temperament seemed to be slowly growing and growing in him!
What kind of demeanor, exactly what kind of temperament, Zhang Xu himself is not clear, his only feeling is that his fit with football seems to have improved a lot, there is always a feeling that football has become a part of his body.

Although there are still some unreliable moments when dribbling and so on, but it is no longer completely uncontrollable like before.

In fact, Zhang Xu at this time, in the eyes of others, already has a feeling that he is not playing football, but enjoying football in it!In other words, the demeanor and temperament of a football master has begun to be reflected in him. Although it is still vague, he is already moving in that direction!

Secondly, every attribute of Zhang Xu has made a lot of progress. Among them, the most improved attributes are defensive attributes, such as header and anticipation, which have reached 87 points!
The current Zhang Xu, in terms of status, may not even be considered a top midfielder, which is mainly related to the performance of the club he plays for; but if you only look at it in terms of attributes, it can be said that he is already a top-ranked midfielder in the world!

Not every defensive midfielder can have such a strong body like Zhang Xu, and not every defensive midfielder can basically have a defensive attribute of 85 points like Zhang Xu!

Finally, what makes Zhang Xu extremely excited and cherished is that he now has 40 free attribute points!If he allocates all the 40 free attribute points, his current ability can still increase by about 2 points!
Of course, he won't just allocate 40 free attribute points so simply. There will be more arduous matches later, and there will be stronger opponents. At that time, the 40 free attribute points will be allocated according to the opponent's situation.

Zhang Xu believes that these 40 free attribute points will become his real trump card!

After the warm-up match with Basel, the national team will end their training in Spain and go to Oman for a friendly match with Oman.

However, under Camacho's special approval, Zhang Xu stayed because the club had a league match with Valencia in the future.

When Zhang Xu stayed in Deportivo and was actively preparing for the match against Valencia, the situation of the national team's warm-up matches at the training base in Jerez, Spain was sent back to China one after another by the team reporter Liang Shupeng.

One victory after another, one more wonderful performance, Zhang Xu's "performance" in the national team conquered all domestic fans at once!

Therefore, on the domestic online media, they sang praises for the national team and Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu rises! The national football rises!"

Various sports media and websites put the photo of Zhang Xu shooting on the front page, and wrote in bold words:
"Three goals in three matches!Zhang Xu handed in a perfect national team answer sheet! "This commentary article said: Zhang Xu, who had been excluded from the national team by a certain domestic organization before, was selected for the national team again after the anti-criminal and anti-counterfeiting storm was set off in the country. In the training camp in Spain, with his excellent performance, he led the national team to achieve a proud record of two wins and one draw!

At the same time, as an organizational midfielder, Zhang Xu actually contributed three goals for the national team in three consecutive games!If the goalkeeper's own goal in the last game against Basel was also counted on Zhang Xu's body, Zhang Xu alone contributed four goals for the national team!
Such a terrifying scoring efficiency is actually just a defensive midfielder!
What makes us even more excited is that everyone knows the level of our national football team, but after having Zhang Xu, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the level of the national football team has made great progress.

Just one Zhang Xu has such a powerful force!
What does this mean?This can only show that Zhang Xu's ability has fully reached the level of a top player!

Only top players have the ability to change the direction of a game!

"Hope for the Rise of the National Football Team - Zhang Xu! "

The report said: Zhang Xu re-entered the national team, that is, he exploded with great strength, and quickly became the real core of the national team.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, the national team seems to have completely changed its appearance. It is methodical and well-organized when attacking, and it is extremely firm and stable when defending!

Zhang Xu is like a lion, abruptly elevating the weak national football team to a higher level!We have reason to believe that under the leadership of Zhang Xu, the national team will rise rapidly and compete with Japan and South Korea!
When the fans and the media sang praises to the national team and Zhang Xu, a phone call was made directly to the mobile phone of the main person in charge of a certain organization: "I am XXX, this Zhang Xu is very good! He deserves to be cultivated!"

Then, before he could react, the phone hung up.

The person in charge suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that a Zhang Xu would alarm the top!Is it true that XXX likes football?
It seems that this Zhang Xu can't move!
When the country was excited by Zhang Xu's performance, Zhang Xu and his teammates were still seriously preparing for the league match with Valencia.

In the last game against Valencia, Deportivo was an away game, relying on Zhang Xu's outburst to draw Valencia 2:2 tenaciously.

But this time, Deportivo is playing at home, taking advantage of the natural home game.But Deportivo also has a problem, that is, several of the team's main players at the beginning of the season have been unable to participate in the game due to injuries, and the overall strength of the team has declined.

Fortunately, the Valencia team didn't get any better. After half a season's journey, several players also suffered from injuries or physical problems.

Coupled with the fact that Deportivo is playing at home in this game, Zhang Xu's strength has also been greatly improved. Everyone believes that Deportivo will win this game.

But what about the result?It turned out to be another 2:2!draw!

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Zhang Xu looked at the Valencia players who left the field with a smile on their faces, feeling disappointed and helpless.

In this game, he didn't make any mistakes.The teammates didn't do anything wrong. If there were any mistakes, it can only be said that football itself made mistakes!
Football is round!
Zhang Xu really didn't feel this before, but today he felt it!
In the 3rd minute of the game, after Zhang Xu received a clever pass from Thomas on the edge of the penalty area, he took the lead in breaking the gate of Valencia with a powerful long-range shot!

Just when everyone thought this game would be a massacre, Valencia unexpectedly scored a goal!
This goal was indeed an accident.

It was No. 18 minutes into the game. Valencia's striker was held up by Itami, unable to turn around at all, and couldn't find a suitable teammate to catch the ball. In the end, he simply turned around suddenly and took advantage of the opportunity of turning to open half of his body, and volleyed.

Aitami had been guarding against his move for a long time, so he stretched his right leg over naturally, blocking the opponent's shooting route.

The ball did block it, but it didn't block it completely. Instead, after changing direction, it rebounded and jumped into the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!
The ball went in!Valencia tied the score with an unexpected goal!
Everyone was stunned when the football flew into the net!

This is too much of a coincidence!It is understandable that you bounced and changed direction, but you also hit the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal, rubbed against the post and flew into the net. This is really incredible!
This unexpected goal still had a certain impact on Deportivo's morale, and the teammates seemed a little impatient in the following games.

Perhaps only Zhang Xu behaved a little more normally.In fact, Zhang Xu was also very disappointed, but after a wry smile, as the spiritual pillar of the team, he could only pretend that he didn't care, and continued to lead the team to continue to launch a more violent attack on Valencia.

Zhang Xu's hard work paid off. After the start of the second half, that is, at the 604th minute of the game, Zhang Xu was near the center line, and with a precise through ball, he sent the football directly to the feet of Ricky, who had successfully reversed offside.

Ricky broke into the penalty area with the ball, facing the goalkeeper's approach, he pushed the arch of his right foot lightly, and passed the football to Oliveira.

Facing an empty goal, Oliveira naturally wouldn't miss it, and pushed the football into the net with an easy kick.

2: 1!

Leading the score and taking the initiative on the field, Deportivo seemed to be in sight of victory, but at this time, luck was on Valencia's side again.

This was a corner kick from Valencia. When the opponent's player took the corner kick, Zhang Xu immediately jumped up and headed towards the flying football.

For this kind of ball, Deportivo will not have any worries, because Zhang Xu is an invincible air master, as long as he is around, the air dominance will always be in his hands.

It was still the same this time, but what I didn't expect was that Zhang Xu was slightly touched by his teammates when he was jumping, and when his head touched the football, the position of his head changed slightly.

Originally, Zhang Xu wanted to point the football to Thomas, but he didn't expect that the football did not fly to Thomas's feet accurately, but was about two meters away from Thomas.

Even more coincidentally, when Thomas was going to catch the ball, perhaps because the grass was too slippery, he accidentally fell on the grass!

The Valencia players saw the opportunity and caught up with a shot!
The football flew straight into the net!
2: 2!

After that, Zhang Xu and his teammates were dissatisfied with the result of the draw, and launched a tidal offensive against Valencia.

However, what made them helpless was that today seemed to be a lucky day for Valencia. Several shots from Zhang Xu, Ricky and Thomas all miraculously hit the goal post and the crossbar!

In this way, Valencia was once again lucky to draw with Deportivo in the away game!
　Follow everyone's advice and write less about the national team in the future!
