Yes, football is round. On the football field, you will never know what will happen in the next second!

When the game was in the 22nd minute, Valencia took the ball.§§№

No. 7 Jonas of Valencia took the football and entered the half of the La Coruna from the right side of the court. No. 24 Marchena immediately met.

Instead of making a personal breakthrough, Jonas turned around and leaned against Machena and advanced towards the heart of La Coruna.

At this time, Zhang Xu saw that Marchener could not effectively block Jonas, so he enclaves to Jonas.

After more than twenty minutes of competition, and the head coach had already explained that this Chinese kid had a strong defensive ability, so when Jonas saw Zhang Xu pushing over, he immediately thought of passing the ball.

He observed left and right for a while and found that Gago was in front of his left left, so he poked his left toe and the football rolled towards Gago.

And this was exactly what Zhang Xu wanted to see. He immediately turned around and exploded his degree. Gao Xiang chased the football that rolled towards Gago.

Gago didn't care much at first, but when he saw Zhang Xu actually wanted to get the football before him, he was shocked and hurriedly ran towards the football.

Both sides were approaching the football quickly. After all, Zhang Xu turned halfway through, and the degree was a little slower. Seeing that the football was about to be controlled by Gago, Zhang Xu immediately decisively fell to the ground and tackledly.

When Gago saw the football that was about to fall into his feet, he couldn't help but feel happy. However, the moment his foot hit the football, another toe suddenly came out and stabbed the football before him.

Beautiful steal!

After seeing Zhang Xu's steal, head coach Ortra immediately jumped up excitedly and praised him.

However, the next scene made him dumbfounded.?◎?§

The football that Zhang Xu stabbed was not obtained by the responding Bellellon. Bellellon's start was half a beat slower, and the football was obtained by the opponent's No. 24 Tino Costa.

After Tino got the football, he pushed his right arch before Belleron intercepted!

The football passed through the right side of Belleron's body, passed through the gap between the two defenders in La Coruna, and suddenly appeared on the left edge of the penalty area.

"Be careful behind you!! Pay attention to that damn No. 17!!" At this time, Zhang Xu had already seen the danger. He had no time to implement defense and could only loudly remind his teammates.

However, his reminder was still a little late.

Valencia's forward Guardado had bypassed No. 2 Pablo, who was a little inattentive, successfully counterattacked and came to the left rear of the football.

Guardado gently tapped his left foot on the football, then ran two steps and directly pulled it on the back of the football.

Shooted!

The shot was very powerful, and the football appeared in the lower left corner of the goal like a flash of lightning.

Zhang Xu's teammate and goalkeeper Alan Zubia had not had time to do the move, but he saw that the football was already rolling in the net!

The ball has entered!

Halfway through the first half, Valencia broke the goal of La Coruna with an anti-offside attack! Leading 1-0!

Zhang Xu looked at the football lying in the net with resentment, feeling a little disappointed. Although this conceding had nothing directly to him, he was the organizer of the defense after all, and as long as he concedes the goal, it was his responsibility.

Okay, I just lost one ball, but it's still a long time, so I don't believe I can't catch it back! Valencia, let's take a look!

Zhang Xu threw away the feeling of loss in his heart, clenched his fists, looked firmly at the Valencia player celebrating the goal, and secretly made up his mind.

Just when he was ambitious to equalize the score or even reverse, another unexpected situation arose, confirming an old Chinese saying: Disaster will never happen.

In the 29th minute of the game, La Coruna's offense was completely led by Zhang Xu and Belleron. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time to equalize the score.

But at this moment, something that made all La Coruna fans desperate.

This was purely an accident. After Valencia's Tino Costa was entangled by Zhang Xu in the frontcourt, he could not make an effective breakthrough. In desperation, he could only kick the football forward casually.

He was lucky, and his teammates really got football.

No. 9 Soldado was originally swaying in front of him, but unexpectedly a football fell from the sky and fell at his feet.

In surprise, he quickly controlled the football, then turned around quickly and advanced towards the middle of the penalty area.

After entering the penalty area, Soldado was immediately stared at by No. 3 Eibardo. Eibardo is an experienced defender. He used his body to hold Soldado and interfered with Soldado with small movements from time to time.

If this continues, Valencia will not have any chance at all.

However, at this moment, Eibardo, who had always been calm, saw that Soldado was dribbling a bit too much, so he rashly stretched out his right foot and wanted to poke the football off.

His idea was good, but the actual effect was that he kicked Soldado on the right foot.

At this time, Soldado's right foot happened to be his support foot. Eibardo's kick immediately made him feel a sharp pain, so he consciously covered his right foot and fell on the grass.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the right time, ran over quickly, checked Soldado who was lying on the grass, and then took out a bright red card from his arms without mercy, illuminating Eibardo.

Then, the referee ran to the penalty spot, pointed to the penalty spot, and signaled to be sentenced to the penalty - penalty!

This immediately made all the players in La Coruna confused. They surrounded them and declared to the referee in a speech.

Zhang Xu was the first to run up and begged with a sincere look on his face: "Hello, sir, he really didn't mean it, he just didn't hold it back and kicked the other party in the foot. Do you think the punishment can be slightly lighter?"

"Yes, sir, I really don't mean to kick people on purpose! Please, give me a chance!" Evaldo also came up with an innocent expression on his face.

"Impossible, I will be punished if you foul!" The head coach did not give in at all, and he said expressionlessly.

"Sir, we have no intention to challenge your majesty, but please give us a chance to reform because he did not intentionally!" Belleron squeezed in and said to the referee.

"Impossible, Bellelon, you are a veteran in the football world. How could I turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul? Besides, I have made a penalty. Do you want me to get the penalty back and become a joke in the referee world?" The referee still respects Bellelon, and he explained it specifically.

"Okay!" Belleron sighed and pulled the team members away helplessly.

Head coach Ortra is going crazy. He just awarded a penalty kick and even sent off the team's main central defender. If he doesn't lose this game, it would be a miracle!

At the beginning, he immediately ran to the fourth referee on the sidelines and made a loud statement to his players and teams. However, after a few roars, he could not change the ending at all. In the end, he could only return to the coach's seat unhappily and signaled the assistant coach to arrange for substitutions.

He called Zhang Xu to the sidelines and asked with a serious look on his face: "zhang, now I can only rely on you. Tell me, can I trust you?"

"Yes! Boss, I can do it, just leave it to me!" Zhang Xu nodded fiercely and answered in a stern manner.

"Okay, I'll arrange for Bellelon to come off the court immediately. As the team's organizational midfielder, you will assume the core responsibilities of the team. We will play single-core tactics as we practiced in the past." Ortra patted Zhang Xu's shoulder and said earnestly: "zhang, I know your task is very heavy, and most of the defensive tasks are on you. At the same time, you have to shoulder the burden of organizing offense in such adversity. I hope you can bear it and not let me down, okay?"

"Don't worry, boss!" Zhang Xu looked firm: "You're optimistic! I won't let you down! Because we are the 'Level Laco'! The never-saying 'Level Laco'!"

"Yes, we are the never-saying 'Level Laco'!" Altra nodded with relief, waved to Zhang Xu and said, "Go, good boy! I look forward to your wonderful performance!"

After Zhang Xu left, the assistant coach whispered: "Mr. Ortra, did you put too much pressure on him? You have to bear Valencia's strong offensive pressure, but also find all opportunities to create goals. This pressure is really too great! If he can't bear it, it may be detrimental to his growth!"

"Oh, I don't know this principle, but now, what can I do?" Altra sighed and said, "I can only hope that he, who has a big heart, can bring us some hope!"

"Oh, I can only rely on this!" The assistant coach murmured at Zhang Xu, who organized his teammates to prepare his opponent to punish the penalty.

In the 24th minute of the game, La Coruna substituted, Belleron came, Thomas No. 1o came, Pizzi came, and Alex No. 4 came.

No. 4 Alex replaced Evaldo, and Thomas stood behind No. 11 Ricci, acting as both a shadow striker and a current waist.

Zhang Xu stood in his previous position as Belleron and took the team's command power in his hands.
