Chapter 49 We Need You
"Beatty passed the ball! Who is that? Oh, my God, when did that damn Chinese Zhang come here?" The commentator Rodman yelled inexplicably in horror.

"China zhang dribbling, uh uh, this is the first time I've seen such a vulgar way of dribbling, but the efficiency is indeed very high, he's almost approaching the penalty area!"

"China zhang passed the ball! Dangerous! Beatty got the football! Our defender Johnny's tackle was too blind! Oh! Beatty shot!"

"Oh, damn it, the goal is scored! Sheffield United equalized the score!" Rodman cursed in great disappointment.

When Beatty shot the football into the Charlton gate, the originally noisy Valley Stadium was suddenly quiet for a while, only the Blades fans in the South Stand were wildly celebrating this hard-won goal.

After Beatty scored the goal, he immediately found Zhang Xu, put his arms around Zhang Xu's neck, put his head on his head and shouted loudly: "Zhang, that's great! Your pass is just right! Great! We equalized! Haha!"

"Yes, we have equalized, and we still have to fight for victory!" Zhang Xu was also very excited. After a long time of hard work, he finally ushered in a goal. No one could keep calm. He excitedly put his arms around the captain's neck, and shouted to the teammates who ran over laughing: "We are the blade! Victory! Victory! Victory!"

"Yes, we are Blades! Haha!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" The teammates gathered together and shouted loudly!

When Beatty successfully shot into Charlton's goal, the coach bench and the bench were so excited that they all screamed and jumped up. They either waved their fists vigorously, hugged each other tightly, or looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, expressing their joy heartily.

"Haha!" Wilson, the head coach of Sheffield United, laughed happily. He felt that he was too wise to decisively deploy Zhang Xu. He changed the passive situation on the field at once, which made this wonderful goal!

Dai Dong was also very excited. Just now he took 5 groups of 50 photos of Zhang Xu in a row. From Zhang Xu's header to clear the siege, to running all the way, catching and passing the ball, he recorded them all with photos.

He looked at these photos and couldn't bear to delete any of them.

After Sheffield United equalized, they played more proactively.

Zhang Xu, in particular, ran more aggressively. He was no longer limited to marking Phillips, but used his abundant physical strength and lightning-fast speed to designate all areas in his half as his own defensive area.

Zhang Xu's actions have exceeded the tasks assigned to him by head coach Wilson. However, Zhang Xu did not delay his job at all, and Phillips was still under his marking and did nothing.

Although the situation is extremely favorable for Sheffield United, Charlton is a strong team after all, and it is playing at home, so in the following game time, neither side can create a chance. Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was still 1:1!

For this score, both sides are not very satisfied. Charlton lost the opportunity to further consolidate the first place in the league because they played at home but failed to win the opponent, while Sheffield United regretted that they failed to achieve a comeback under such a good situation.

The fans were also dissatisfied, especially the loyal fans of Charlton in the North Stand. When they left the field, they clamored that they must let Sheffield United know how good the swordsman is next time!The fans of Sheffield United dismissed the arrogant remarks of the Charlton fans.

"Hello, China Zhang, can I exchange jerseys with you?" Just as Zhang Xu and his teammates walked into the player tunnel, a familiar voice came from behind.

Zhang Xu turned around and it turned out to be Charlton's No. 10 Phillips!
Phillips smiled slightly at Zhang Xu, and continued: "I have stayed in Manchester City for a while, and Sun is a teammate and a good friend. How about it, can we exchange jerseys?"

"Of course! It's my honor!" Zhang Xu has always held no grudges, as long as the other party has sincere friendship, he doesn't care whether the other party has offended him before.Of course, Zhang Xu will not forgive questions of principle, such as insulting his own country or nation.

The two sides took the wet jerseys handed over by each other in a friendly manner, then put the jerseys on their shoulders, and walked side by side to the player channel.

"Zhang, I have to say that your defensive ability is much better than Sun's. He can't defend me one-on-one!" Phillips laughed.

"But Senior Sun Jihai's ability to attack is better than mine!" Zhang Xu also has a habit of always only looking at the aspect that others are better than himself.

"Haha, I have to say, you Chinese are really interesting, Sun is as humble as you!" Phillips laughed.

In fact, Sun Jihai also stayed in Sheffield United for a period of time, and later he was loaned to Chengdu Sheffield United. In January 2010, he officially transferred to Shaanxi Zhongxin Team.In other words, almost as soon as Sun Jihai left Sheffield United, Zhang Xu joined in immediately.

But Zhang Xu didn't know about these things, and Sun Jihai didn't perform as well in Sheffield United as Manchester City, and was even loaned out without actually playing once, so the players and fans didn't have a deep impression of Sun Jihai, so naturally they couldn't connect Zhang Xu with Sun Jihai.

As the key person who turned the tide of the battle, Zhang Xu attracted the attention of many reporters. After the game, they came to Zhang Xu with long guns and short cannons.

"Hello, Zhang, I'm Lahm, a reporter from the London Daily Express. Is this your first time representing Sheffield United?"

"Yes! I joined Sheffield United during the winter break."

"Are you Chinese? How did you solve your labor certification problem?"

"This is something the club should care about. I think it's enough for me to play hard!" Zhang Xu deliberately avoided this topic.

"Hello, Zhang, I'm Su Desi, a reporter from The Sun. I heard that Sheffield United did not hesitate to use the special talent clause once a year in order to allow you to play. Is it true?"

"I think you should ask the general manager of our club this question. I believe he will give you an accurate answer. All I know is that the club notified me that I can play, so I will play, that's all!" Zhang Xu knew that if he admitted it, these reporters would definitely pursue him, so he simply threw out the problem.

"Special genius clause? Oh my God, for a Chinese?"

"Yeah, Sheffield United is really different. They actually used special talent clauses for an unknown Chinese player!"

"Unbelievable! Incredible!"

Hearing that reporter Su Desi mentioned that Sheffield United used the special talent clause for Zhang Xu, other reporters couldn't help discussing in surprise.

"Excuse me, let me interject. Don't you think Zhang's performance is not enough to use the special talent clause?" At this time, Captain Beatty saw Zhang Xu's face was a bit ugly, so he quickly interjected and said loudly to the reporters:

"In this game, you can also clearly see the role Zhang played in it. Isn't such a player worthy of our club's special talent clause? Huh?!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted, pulled Zhang Xu out of the reporter's circle, and walked into the player tunnel together.

"Don't care about the opinions of those reporters, you just need to understand that we are your teammates and we need you, that's enough!" Beatty said seriously to Zhang Xu as he walked.

"Thank you, captain!" Zhang Xu smiled at Beatty and said, "I'm not angry about me, but sad about our country's football cause. Why isn't our country's football level recognized by Europe? Is it really that low?"

Beatty froze for a moment, he shook his head, but couldn't say anything.

In this game, Sheffield United gained a valuable league point, and Zhang Xu also successfully completed fifteen side missions, gaining a huge amount of experience points and a dozen attribute points.

When he was receiving the experience points and attribute points of the side missions, he unexpectedly discovered that he hadn't received the rewards for completing the main missions.

Surprised, he quickly clicked the finish button, and suddenly, a crisp "ding dong" sound rang in Zhang Xu's mind.

"Congratulations on successfully completing the main mission, all attribute points +1, gaining 1000 experience points, your current experience value is 5060."

"Trigger the main task: within a month, become the absolute main force of the team! After completing the task, all attribute points will be rewarded +1, and the experience value will be 2000 points!"

When the system issued the rewards, Zhang Xu suddenly felt hot all over, and an indescribable power surged out from every corner of his body.

Cool!So cool!All attribute points +1, it is too powerful!

Zhang Xu was so comfortable that he was about to die!
In a happy mood, he opened his property panel:
