Chapter 193 The Predicament Arriving As Scheduled

When he came to the training ground, Zhang Xu took turns greeting his teammates.

"Haha, Zhang, we're just waiting for you to come back and beat Oliveira!" Ricky ran up to Zhang Xu excitedly after seeing Zhang Xu, hugged Zhang Xu tightly, and shouted loudly.

"That's right, Zhang, you're not on the team. We always feel sluggish when we play football. When I see you, I feel comfortable all over! Brothers, tell me, don't you?!" Thomas also came over with surprise and said loudly.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Zhang, sorry, we lost the last game!"

"Zhang, it's good that you come back! Our Super Laco is back again! Haha!"

All of a sudden, teammates gathered around, laughing and playing with Zhang Xu happily.

Zhang Xu was moved in his heart. He had only been away for ten days, and his teammates missed him so much. What kind of deep emotion is this?In addition, this also shows how important and indispensable he is to the team.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart, because this also explained a problem from another aspect, that is, the team relied too much on himself, which was not a good thing for a team.

Obviously, captain Belleron seemed to see something. He was not as excited as other teammates. He just smiled, patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, shook his head, and walked away.

In the gap that followed, Zhang Xu approached captain Belleron, explained the team's problems he found in the simulation training one by one, and then asked about countermeasures.

"ZHANG, it is rare that after you return to the team, you can find these problems of the team in such a short time. It is very good!" Belleron first praised Zhang Xu's keen discovery power, and then thought for a while, and continued: "However, the physical fitness problem is really unsolvable. Unless the team can buy a group of players with fair strength and excellent physical fitness. Of course, this is definitely unrealistic. As for this heart. The state problem is also difficult to solve. Perhaps, after one or two setbacks, the status of the team can change back to normal. "

"Uh, but, now is the most critical time for the team, and I'm worried that this setback will make the team like an avalanche, out of control!" Zhang Xu really didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

At this time, Belleron suddenly stared at Zhang Xu seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang, this requires you to stand up at the most critical moment! Only you can save the team at the most difficult time. Can you do it?"

"But, captain, don't you still have you?" Although Zhang Xu is very confident in himself, this is an 11-man football game. He alone is not sure that he can really save the team in that extremely difficult time.

"No! Zhang, I'm old, I can't do it anymore! I believe in you! Only you can do it!" Belleron put his hands on Zhang Xu's shoulders, patted him vigorously, and said.

"Me?!" Looking at Belleron's firm eyes, Zhang Xu couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

Yes, that's me!I am Zhang Xu!

In the most difficult time for the team, which time did you not stand up by yourself?
Now, why is there no confidence?Is it because it is too difficult?

No, no matter how difficult it is, it can't stop my pursuit of victory!

This is me, this is my creed, and this is my mission!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's bewildered eyes instantly became clear, and he said to Belleron in a firm tone he had never had before: "Captain, I understand! I will do it! I will definitely be able to do it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xu blinked suddenly, and said with a strange smile: "However, captain, I don't want to lose against Sevilla this time, so you have to help me! I'll treat you to a big meal later!"

"Get out!" Beleron was immediately amused by Zhang Xu, he kicked Zhang Xufei out with a smile and cursed.

2013年2月16日下午01:30，张旭随同球队来到了塞维利亚的主场皮斯胡安球场。

"Hello, Zhang, your team lost the game at home in the last league game, so this time, do you think you can win?"

When Zhang Xu and others got off the bus, the reporters onlookers rushed up one after another and handed the microphone to Zhang Xu.

"I always have a belief in victory!" Zhang Xu replied in a deep voice.

"That's right, who are we? We are the rising Super Depor, and we will definitely be able to defeat Sevilla!" At this time, Ricky put his arms around Zhang Xu's neck from the side and shouted to the reporters with a big smile.

Zhang Xu's heart sank. It seems that the mentality of his teammates is indeed not a small problem. They can't see themselves correctly!
For this kind of situation, it is not easy for Zhang Xu to tell his teammates clearly. On the one hand, his teammates may not believe his words, and they will only think that he is alarmist and unfounded.

Since you can't say it, then use actions to influence them!
Zhang Xu clenched his fists, looked at his teammates who were laughing and playing, and secretly made up his mind!

When Zhang Xu and his teammates entered the stadium for pre-match adaptation training, the Pizjuan Stadium was already full of people. When they looked over, they were full of the colors of Sevilla's uniforms.

"Hi! Huang Donggua, hello, we meet again!" Just as Zhang Xu and his teammates were practicing passing and catching the ball, a familiar voice appeared.

Zhang Xu can guess without looking back that this must be Pogba's national team teammate Kondogbia, and he is the only one who calls himself Huang Donggua.

"Hey, black wax gourd, how can we never meet again in life! I saw your shiny wax gourd head again!" Zhang Xu sighed, turned around, and it turned out to be Kondogbia, who had become the main midfielder of Sevilla.

"Haha! Huang Donggua, I will not be polite this time! I think I will be able to stare at you today!" Kondogbia put his arms around Zhang Xu's neck, calling out affectionately, and said the provocateur.

"Really? Black Winter Melon, Pogba might not even dare to say that in front of me! Do you think you can do it?" Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Where is the cockscomb head? My black winter melon is much better than the cockscomb head!" Kondogbia patted his chest and said confidently.

"Oh? Really? So confident? Well, then we'll see you in the arena! Be careful I'll blow your black winter melon, haha!" Zhang Xu couldn't help touching Kondogbia's smooth big head, and it felt really good.

"Crack!" Kondogbia yelled and slapped Zhang Xu's hand away, then pointed to Zhang Xu, then pointed to his own eyes with two fingers, indicating that he would wait and see, and then ran straight back to his team.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially began!
Contrary to Zhang Xu's expectations, when the game started, Sevilla did not take advantage of the home game to launch a tidal attack on Deportivo, but took a very cautious and tentative attack.

On the contrary, Deportivo, as the visiting team, launched a fierce attack on Sevilla without hesitation.

In fact, these violent attacks were not what Zhang Xu wanted at all. His original intention was to stabilize his position first and then advance slowly. However, the morale of his teammates was indeed high. He frequently used fast running positions, passing and receiving the ball, and even wanted to use his own personal ability to form an effective breakthrough, thereby tearing apart Sevilla's defense.

However, Sevilla is a strong team after all, and it is playing at home, and the strength of the defense is also relatively strong, so Deportivo's offense can only be the waves on the reef, which looks very beautiful, but it has no effect on the reef.

When the team was launching a fierce attack, Zhang Xu still cooperated with the team from time to time as usual.
As time passed, Deportivo's offensive momentum gradually lost its indomitable momentum amidst constant failures.

Zhang Xu knew that this was the most dangerous time for the team, so he completely tensed up his nerves, always paying attention to any signs of Sevilla's attack that might pose a threat to the team.

However, after all, football is an eleven-man sport. No matter how vigilant Zhang Xu is or how strong Zhang Xu is, when the mentality of his teammates starts to become unbalanced, the overall strength of the team begins to decline sharply. The most he can do is to slow down the speed of the team's decline.

In the 203rd minute of the game, Gama made another breakthrough. After receiving a pass from Belleron on the left, he immediately advanced to the hinterland of Sevilla at high speed.

Soon he was intercepted by the opponent, and Gama was not reconciled. He simply faced the Sevilla players and began to dribble the ball diagonally, wanting to push forward a little more.

However, soon, he was sent out with a precise tackle by Kondogbia.

The football was taken by No. 7 Keylor Navas of Sevilla. Zhang Xu made a decisive decision and wanted to destroy the opponent's counterattack in the first place.

But this Navas is very smart. He knew Zhang Xu's intention when he saw Zhang Xu's action, and then he quickly passed the football.

The distance of this pass is very large, it directly spanned half of the court and came to the opposite side of the court from Zhang Xu.

And there, is Seville's No. 8 Maybor.

Zhang Xu still has some impressions of Maybor. During the simulation training in the past few days, he organized the offense several times, which caused great trouble for Deportivo's defense.

"Stop him! It's really impossible, a tactical foul!" Zhang Xu reminded his teammates loudly while returning to defense at high speed.

However, his reminder was still half a beat behind.

May Boer passed the ball, he suddenly kicked through, passed the football between the three players of Deportivo, and appeared on the left side of the penalty area in an instant.

Seville's No. 9 Negredo appeared behind the football like a ghost, and volleyed directly before Zhang Xu fell to the ground to tackle the ball!
"Bang!" After a crisp sound, the moment Zhang Xu fell to the ground, he saw the football go straight into the gate of Alan Zubia's handle!
