Chapter 293 Beautiful Quick Counterattack

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" When the football flew into the net, the entire Emirates suddenly heard the high-pitched screams of the live commentator Houllier!

"China Zhang and Wilshere played a beautiful match, tore open Aston Villa's defense, and then, China Zhang made a false shot and passed the ball skillfully to the feet of Walcott, who was hiding forward. Walcott scored a goal for Arsenal in one fell swoop!"

"From this goal, we were surprised to find that from the very beginning of the game, the Chinese Zhang seemed to be planning this goal. First, he made a seemingly risky high-post interception, then accurately predicted and accelerated the block steal, and finally, a series of exquisite coordination directly tore apart Aston Villa's defense!"

"Based on the performance of the Chinese Zhang in this goal, I have every reason to believe that the 3750 million British newspapers spent by Mr. Wenger are really worth the money! Because the strength shown by the Chinese Zhang is really too strong!"

"Strong organizational skills, fierce and precise steals, lightning-fast speed and creative passing, this is the Chinese Zhang shown in front of us, this is Mr. 3750 million pounds! Such a Chinese Zhang is really 'you deserve it'!"

At this moment, the Emirates Stadium has been completely occupied by high-pitched screams and shouts, and countless Arsenal fans are in the stands, wantonly celebrating this wonderful goal.

Before some fans had time to find their seats, and before some fans had time to react, the football flew into the net, and then the whole stadium burst into deafening cheers, which startled these fans. After seeing the football in the net, they also cheered loudly with the surrounding fans.

At this moment, Arsenal fans are undoubtedly the happiest. The team's first goal of the new season came too fast!

Looking at the past, countless red and white waves are constantly tumbling on the huge stands, like boiling water.Some fans even lit fireworks of various colors, dipping the stands into colorful pieces one after another.

After Walcott scored, he immediately ran all the way excitedly, ran to the stands where the Arsenal fans were, shaking his fists and shouting wildly.

Zhang Xu followed closely, hugged Walcott, and followed him, roaring to the sky.

"Thank you! Zhang! Thank you so much!" Walcott said excitedly to Zhang Xu.He is very clear that Zhang Xu can shoot the ball just now, and according to Zhang Xu's shooting ability, the probability of scoring is also very high.

But Zhang Xu selflessly assigned the football to himself who was in a better position, leaving himself the first chance to score in the league!How could this not move Walcott?
At this time, Walcott couldn't help thinking in his heart: It seems that Zhang is the captain and the core of the team, and it feels really good!

Soon, other teammates also ran over, together with Walcott, wildly celebrating this beautiful goal.

Wenger was also celebrating. The moment the football flew into the net, he jumped out of the coach excitedly and waved his arm in the air twice.

It can be seen that Wenger is indeed very excited to let the always gentle and gentle man make such an action.

"Sir, this Chinese Zhang is indeed a treasure!" At this moment, the excited Baldur ran to Wenger's side and said excitedly.

"Haha! Of course, you know, I watched him for a whole season before I decided to take him at all costs! Now it seems that he really deserves my love for him, haha!" Wenger burst into a series of hearty laughter.

At this moment, as the main person in charge of advocating the introduction of the Chinese government, his heart is full of pride and a sense of accomplishment.

And Aston Villa's head coach Lambert is indeed full of sense of loss. He didn't think that the team would lose the ball first, but he really didn't expect the team to lose the ball in such a short time!

Now, his evaluation of the Chinese government has invisibly raised a level!In his opinion, this Mr. 3750 million pounds does have the strength of the world's top midfielder.

From the high interception at the beginning to the offensive organization at the back, all of them have demonstrated their strong strength as the core of Arsenal. Such a Chinese Zhang is indeed very terrifying!
At this time, if Lambert does not envy Wenger or Arsenal for having such a strong core player, it is absolutely impossible!
However, envy alone is useless. After all, good and excellent players cannot be obtained by envy, and now is not the time to be envious.

Now, how to restore the morale of the team that has fallen, and quickly restore the losing situation and score, and strive to turn defeat into victory.

So, Lambert walked out of the coach's bench, stood on the sidelines of the court, cheered his players up, and adjusted the team's tactics.

In his opinion, the role of the Chinese Zhang in Arsenal is too great. If the Chinese Zhang can be properly restricted, it may be able to curb Arsenal's crazy offensive momentum.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Xu had gone through countless times of various tactics against him, and even Mourinho had nothing to do with him, let alone the little-known Lambert?

After the game continued, Aston Villa adjusted their tactics under the suggestion of the head coach and began to target Zhang Xu specifically to limit Zhang Xu's role in Arsenal.

Seeing Aston Villa's behavior, Zhang Xu secretly smiled. He is not an ordinary core player. He is a super midfielder with the kind of attributes that are against the heavens, and who has mastered the advanced ultimate mystery "controlling the rhythm". If ordinary players want to limit his role, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

I saw that he suddenly accelerated his running speed and simplified the procedure of passing and receiving the ball. Every time he passed and received the ball, he tried his best to deliver the ball with one kick, and at most it would not exceed two kicks.

As a result, the scene began to make Lambert speechless and Wenger burst into laughter:
Several Aston Villa players ran after Zhang Xu, trying to stop him, but they couldn't keep up with Zhang Xu's pace; every time they rushed to Zhang Xu's side, Zhang Xu had already passed the football cleanly!And already running to the next catch point quickly!

Not only was Arsenal's offensive not contained, but it became more violent!Aston Villa's players followed Zhang Xu frequently to eat ashes, exhausting their physical strength. Gradually, most of Aston Villa's players had to kick heavily, and sighed while looking at Zhang Xu's still galloping figure with their hips crossed.

What's worse, under Zhang Xu's rapid pull, Aston Villa's formation was quickly torn apart by Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu quickly controlled the rhythm of the game in his own hands.

Therefore, the game has officially entered Zhang Xu's time!

In the 203rd minute of the game, Aston Villa's Delphi was blocked by Ramsey when he broke through with the ball. He had to pass the football to Wiman in the middle.

The pass was accurately blocked by Zhang Xu immediately, and then he and Ramsey cooperated three times wonderfully, passing Delphi who was counterattacking, Wiman who was pressing, and Ahmadi who was rushing directly towards Zhang Xu and preparing to stop Zhang Xu's attack with a foul.

Zhang Xu's speed is really too fast. Any Aston Villa player who wants to intercept him feels slow motion in front of his speed. It is too easy for him to avoid the opponent's entanglement.

Soon, Zhang Xu was standing in the center of Aston Villa near the penalty area!

As a last resort, two Aston Villa defenders came up to meet them. They knew that although Zhang Xu was only a defensive midfielder, his long-range shots were indeed quite threatening.

Zhang Xu didn't get entangled with the two defenders, and directly picked the ball and passed the ball to Giroud who was going forward from the left.

When Giroud received the ball, he stopped a bit too far, and when he rushed two steps and was about to shoot, the Aston Villa goalkeeper had blocked the angle of his shot.

In this case, he can only choose to pass the ball!

The direction of his pass is Walcott on the other side!

It's just that his pass was beyond Walcott's expectations, and it was a bit higher than Walcott's jump height. If it was Zhang Xu, there would be no problem, but Walcott couldn't reach it.

As a result, Walcott's header to the empty goal went high!
The football crossed the goal bar and flew out of the baseline!
Although the goal was not scored, it still shocked all the Aston Villa players into a cold sweat. If the goal was scored, then the first half of the game is likely to be 0:2 behind, and it will be very difficult to get back the score in the second half.

And just when they were rejoicing, the disaster still came as scheduled.

In the 307th minute of the game, it was an attacking opportunity for Aston Villa. Weiman took the ball in the middle. When facing Zhang Xu, he did not dare to let Zhang Xu approach.

However, he completely underestimated Zhang Xu's jumping ability!
When the football was about to fly over Zhang Xu's head, Zhang Xu jumped up suddenly. With a header from a high position, he directly blocked the football, hit it to Wilshere who was responding, and then quickly ran to the next point to catch the ball.

Wilshere quickly passed the football over, and Zhang Xu didn't hesitate. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Aston Villa's offensive pressure, he directly kicked a pass, hoisting the football behind all Aston Villa's backlines, and then "hurry up"!Just run after the falling soccer ball!
Aston Villa's defenders were still slowly preparing to receive Zhang Xu's false pass. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu had already got the football one step ahead like lightning!

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Zhang Xu made a direct change and left Aston Villa's goalkeeper behind!

Finally, push and shoot!
The football rolled into the net obediently!

Nice quick counter!
Terrifying speed!

2: 0!
