legendary midfielder

Chapter 215
When Zhang Xu came to the gate of the club, the fans holding slogans and banners were still standing neatly at the gate of the club, shouting their wishes and needs.

Seeing Zhang Xu walking out, the fans were stunned for a moment. They never thought that the person who came out of the club was not the relevant officials of the club, but the one they had always loved - China Zhang!
Zhang Xu came to the fans, climbed directly into a car, held a loudspeaker, and said loudly: "Fans and friends, first of all, I would like to thank everyone for their love for me!"

"I have been in Deportivo for nearly a year. During this time, I have fought side by side with everyone, defeated powerful opponents one after another, and won one victory after another. Now, as a newly promoted team, we are in the top three positions in the competition league! I know that this is inseparable from everyone! You are the most important members of the team, no one is more important than you!"

"Even I can't compare with you! You are the strongest cornerstone of the club!"

"Actually, there are now rumors in the outside media that I am about to transfer. I personally think that they have ulterior motives! There are two purposes: one is to interfere with the state of the team's players, so that we cannot concentrate on training; the other is to interfere with your thinking, so that you cannot fully support the team! The final result, of course, is that our team's performance will plummet!"

"Are you willing to see such a result? No! I know, not only you are unwilling, but I am even more unwilling!"

"So, what we have to do now is to put aside these boring rumors and continue to unite closely to create better results! Win all possible championships!"

"Finally, I want to say: I love you all! Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xu bowed deeply to the fans!

Zhang Xu's words made the fans feel relieved.At the same time, they also feel ashamed of their actions. After all, their actions will indeed have a certain impact on the team as Zhang Xu said.

"Zhang, we love you too!" "Zhang, let's win the championship together!" "Yes! Let's win the championship together!" "Haha, I want the King's Cup champion! Can you?".
All of a sudden, the fans took down the slogans and banners one after another, raised their fists and responded positively to Zhang Xu excitedly.

The transfer rumors have finally come to an end, and the fans' attention has shifted to the team's next league and Copa del Rey matches.

Yes, the next game is very important for Deportivo, for Zhang Xu, and for all Deportivo fans, and that is the second game of the Copa del Rey semi-final: Deportivo vs. Atletico Madrid.

In the last game, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, Deportivo overtook Atletico Madrid with a score of 2:1 in the away game and took the lead. In this game, as long as they don't lose two goals, they can successfully advance to the final of the Copa del Rey!

If you want to lose two goals, and it is still under the favorable conditions of the home game, plus the team has just defeated Real Madrid and the morale is high, this is basically impossible!

Therefore, before the game, all the sports media almost overwhelmingly believed that Deportivo would win the game and advance to the Copa del Rey final.

Even the Atlético Madrid team has no confidence in being able to overtake the total score at the Riazor Stadium. Every player appears to be very low-key when interviewed by the media.

On this day, the Riazor Stadium was once again overwhelmed by Deportivo fans!

Since the last transfer of Zhang Xu, the fans have become more united. They no longer worry about Zhang Xu's transfer, but put all their attention on supporting the team.

Therefore, today almost all Deportivo fans came to the Riazor Stadium to cheer for their beloved team.

Amidst the singing and shouts of the fans resounding through the sky, the second game of the Copa del Rey semi-final officially began.

However, to the astonishment of all Deportivo fans, a goal was scored in just 8 minutes, but it was Atletico Madrid who scored the goal!
This is Atletico Madrid's first offense.

Today's Atletico Madrid team is actually playing very conservatively. They don't look very excited, and they don't intend to continue to fight against Deportivo to qualify for the King's Cup final.

So in the first few minutes, basically Deportivo was attacking, while Atletico Madrid was defending.

However, in the 8th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid defender Thiago made a big-footed clearance and kicked the ball over the halfway line and into the Deportivo half.

And the ball hit directly in front of Atletico Madrid striker No. 9 Falcao who had been wandering in front.

Falcao froze for a moment, then reacted quickly, controlled the football, turned around, and quickly killed Deportivo's defense.

Because the team has been attacking, Zhang Xu will be staying in the frontcourt to organize the attack. When the football is cleared by Bigfoot, he doesn't take it seriously. In his opinion, such a clear ball will definitely be snatched by his teammates.

Even if it is acquired by the opponent, there are still three defenders behind on the back line, so it shouldn't be a problem.

However, just in case, he quickly returned to defense.

At this time, he was surprised to see that Falcao received the football, and then he found that the situation was not good. The positions of several players on the defensive line were not very appropriate. There was a big space on the right side.

Before he could remind his teammates in the future, he saw Falcao really ran towards the gap!

Damn it!Zhang Xu couldn't help cursing inwardly, then increased his speed to the maximum, and directly activated the "Quick Horse Whip" skill.

However, because he was too far away from the backcourt, when he rushed to Falcao, Falcao had already formed a shot!And make great achievements in one fell swoop!
0:1!Deportivo are one goal behind at home!The total score was also tied at 2:2!
Seeing Falcao's successful shot, the entire Atletico Madrid team was taken aback for a moment, and then celebrated wildly, especially their head coach Simeone, who immediately jumped up from the coach's bench excitedly, raised his hands and roared to the sky.

After losing the ball, Zhang Xu was indeed a little disappointed and a little annoyed. This had a lot to do with the three defenders, and it was entirely caused by their lack of concentration.

However, after seeing the guilty eyes of his three teammates, he held back the anger in his heart, just clapped his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, keep your spirits up, isn't it just a ball? Let's get it back! We will definitely be able to advance to the final of the King's Cup!"

The unexpected loss of the ball and Zhang Xu's encouragement made the whole team's impetuous and arrogant mentality return to normal at once, and they finally began to face up to the opponent in front of them.

The team returned to normal, and the situation of the game was under the control of Deportivo. Although the morale of Atletico Madrid was about to explode, under Zhang Xu's powerful midfield organization, the balance of the game was still rapidly tilting towards Deportivo.

In the 18th minute of the game, Zhang Xu received a pass from his teammate Marchena near the center line, and then quickly turned around and killed Atletico Madrid's hinterland.

The opponent's No. 6 Koke immediately pushed forward. Zhang Xu was naturally not polite to this guy who was extremely arrogant in the previous game. He just passed the ball by himself and threw the opponent behind him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Thiago quickly stepped forward and blocked Zhang Xu's advancing route.

Zhang Xu smiled slightly, and with a poke of his toes, he passed the football between Thiago's legs.

Oliveira successfully received the pass through the crotch, and then leaned on the opponent's No. 3 Felipe, and passed a diagonally behind the ball.

The ball was passed very cleverly, directly through the Atlético Madrid defense.

Ricky goes forward at the right time, and then hits the football with a low shot!
When Ricky shot, he was no more than ten meters away from the goal. At such a close distance, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Courtois had no time to react and saw the football fly into the net!

The ball went in! 1:1!Deportivo pulled a goal back and the total score became 3:2!

However, this goal did not break the morale of Atletico Madrid. They still wanted to score another goal and equalize the score.

It's just that their hopes soon came to naught again.

In the 209th minute of the game, Zhang Xu suddenly kicked a precise through ball, which directly tore through the defense line that Atletico Madrid is proud of, and accurately sent the football to the feet of Oliveira, who successfully countered offside.

Naturally, Oliveira, who was single-handedly, would not let go of such an opportunity. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Courtois, he volleyed and shot the football into the net!
Thus, the total score became 4:2!

If this ball has not completely extinguished Atletico Madrid's hopes, then at the end of the first half, Zhang Xu's earth-shattering long-range shot completely made Atletico Madrid despair!

This was at the 404th minute of the game, when Zhang Xu received a pass from Thomas about three meters away from the penalty area, he turned around and volleyed the ball, and directly blasted the goal of Atletico Madrid!

This shot is very exciting, the same as the shots of Drogba and Ronaldo!
The total score became 5:2!Deportivo lead by three goals!

Atletico Madrid completely lost their desire to attack. After the start of the second half, they simply replaced some young players to train newcomers.

Seeing that the game had lost its suspense, Oltra also started to change players. He replaced Ricky and others, and also replaced new players, leaving only Zhang Xu to continue to control the overall situation on the court.

In the end, in this game, Deportivo defeated Atletico Madrid 4:1 and advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey with a total score of 6:2!
