Chapter 156 Consolidation and Improvement
The defeat of the score on the away game immediately aroused the same hatred of Atletico Madrid fans. So, at Calderon Stadium, the singing of Atletico Madrid's team with a collapsed and broken ground sounded!
Inspired by the fans, Atletico Madrid's morale slowly recovered, the team slowly entered a normal state, and the strength of traditional European giants gradually emerged.?
Under this situation, Zhang Xu's pressure gradually increased. After all, football is not a one-person sport, and no matter how strong Zhang Xu's ability is, it is ultimately limited.
As one goes up and down, Zhang Xu had already controlled the rhythm of the game, but now he feels a little uncontrollable. Atletico Madrid, which was originally at a disadvantage, gradually regained its decline and became evenly matched with La Coruna.
In the 66th minute of the game, Suatus received a pass from his teammate and dribbled a few steps. Seeing that Zhang Xu was approaching, he observed his teammate's position in the frontcourt, which was a long pass, which sent the football to the front.
There was a fight in front of him, and in the end, Costa scored the first point, and he used his forehead to point the football to his teammate No. 1o Tulan.
Tulan didn't stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball with his right foot arch, and passed the ball diagonally to Falcao, who was running forward.
At this time, Falcao finally showed the strength of the top striker. His body first tilted to the left, attracted Aitami's attention, and successfully led Aitami's center of gravity to his left foot.
Then, Falcao quickly turned right, took the ball with his right foot, pushed Aitami's body, turned 36o degrees, and threw Aitami behind his body.
At this time, Falcao made a slight adjustment and shot immediately!
A ray of light flashed across the football and appeared in the net at once. Alzubia had only time to raise her hands.
2:2! With the cheers of fans, Atletico Madrid finally stubbornly tied the score!
Seeing the football flying to score the goal net, Zhang Xu could only sigh helplessly. This conceding has nothing to do with his own strength. If you really want to blame, you can only blame the opponent for being too strong. The overall strength is indeed more than La Coruna.
After equalizing the score, Atletico Madrid's morale was greatly boosted, and they performed even better with the cheers of fans.
However, Zhang Xu had already noticed the dangers of the team. So he strengthened the team's defensive organization and used his entry-level ability to control the rhythm frequently interrupted the opponent's offensive rhythm.
In this way, although Atletico Madrid was slightly better on the field, it was frequently blocked during the attack and failed to give a fatal blow to La Coruna.
Time was consumed little by little in this tug-of-war.
In the end, the referee finally blew the whistle to the end of the game.
Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, La Coruna tied the powerful Atletico Madrid away! She gained a rare point for the team!
The team's current league points are 26 points, ranking fourth in the standings!
This ranking looks good, but Real Madrid, third place, has 6 points higher than La Coruna! The gap is still very big.
If La Coruña wants to qualify for the European Champions League directly, it has to compete with the three giants ahead of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid for the top three rankings.
Of course, La Coruna can also ensure fourth place and also qualify for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
The third day after this league round is the fifth round of the Copa del Rey.
In this round, La Coruna's opponent was Serbia who fought two games in a row!
First, it is La Coruna's home court.
The game officially started at 7 pm on December 12, 2o12.
After the last game, Zhang Xu had already mastered the entry-level control rhythm, but after all, it was just an entry-level. Zhang Xu felt that there were still many shortcomings that needed to be strengthened, so he humbly asked the captain Bellelon for advice during the next two days of training.
Although Belleron is not able to teach Zhang Xu step by step, he can stand beside the training ground and patiently point out Zhang Xu's shortcomings and directions of improvement in the midfield organization.
Two days passed, and after Bellelon's guidance and his dedicated training, Zhang Xu felt that he had made some progress in controlling the rhythm, but the system did not prompt himself to enter the initial stage, so he must have not improved enough.
However, Zhang Xu was already very content. It would be incredible if he could be promoted to one level in two days.
After the game started, Zhang Xu took advantage of his home game to completely use his ability and entry-level control skills to control the rhythm, hoping to take the game into his own hands.
Serbia is also a traditional strong team in La Liga. Although it cannot be compared with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's top three teams, its overall strength is still a little stronger than La Coruña now.
But now, Zhang Xu's ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has the ability to control the rhythm. It is still very difficult for Serbia to defeat the current La Coruna at Riasso Stadium.
The direction of the game was the same as expected.
Under Zhang Xu's careful organization, La Coruna gradually took the initiative in the game and played a beautiful offensive rhythm again and again, making Serbia a little tired of running away.
However, Serbia did play more strongly. No matter how beautiful and exciting La Coruña's offense was, they could always stubbornly resolve it at the last moment.
However, as the saying goes, there are only those who are thieves for thousands of days but those who are thieves for thousands of days. Serbia's passive defense will always have loopholes when it comes to defending each other again and again.
For example, now: This is the 38th minute of the game, which is not far from the end of the first half.
However, it was at this time that Serbia's stable defense finally had a loophole.
After Zhang Xu made a series of footsteps in the midfield, he suddenly stepped forward, attracted two opponents to press, and then pushed and passed the ball to Thomas.
Thomas just got the football and was entangled by his opponent's back midfielder. When he was about to pass it back to Zhang Xu, he saw Zhang Xu make a gesture to him.
Thomas immediately understood a beautiful heel!
The football rolled over from the opponent's back midfielder and came straight to Oliveira's feet! Oliveira was overjoyed and immediately turned around and drove the ball to break through.
However, the Serbian defender was still very determined in defense. He stared at Oliveira's feet and moved his steps cautiously.
Seeing that there was no chance of breaking through, Oliveira planned to dribble the ball horizontally.
"Right! Pass quickly!"
Zhang Xu's thunderous scream came from his ears. Oliveira was frightened and quickly turned around, hooked her left foot and passed the ball to his right.
At this time, he realized that Zhang Xu had arrived at a position as level as him and was stepping forward in the high ground.
Zhang Xu has two Serbian defenders in front of him. If you want to shoot directly, it will be impossible, but he can still pass the ball!
With one toe, he picked up the football, passed the two defenders in front of him, and dropped directly to the right edge of the penalty area.
Ricky arrived and shot with a strong shot against the falling football!
Since the landing point of the football is on the right edge of the penalty area and is a bit far from the goal, Ricky chose to shoot the lower right corner of the goal.
The football flew very low and was very fast. When the Serbian goalkeeper stretched out his hands, the football had already penetrated into the net!
The ball is in! 1:o!
De Coruna leads with one goal!
The Riaso Stadium suddenly became boiling, and all the La Coruna fans cheered, and the high voice resounded throughout the stadium and penetrated into the sky.
After getting one move first, La Coruna fought more smoothly under Zhang Xu's organization.
However, the first half was coming soon, so Zhang Xu could only return to the locker room with his teammates with a little regret of not being able to expand the score.
Now, during the halftime break, Altra doesn’t have to mobilize anything. As long as Zhang Xu is there, the team will never worry about morale issues, because Zhang Xu’s strong battles are affecting the whole team anytime and anywhere.
Of course, the necessary tactical arrangements must be carried out.
Altra did not make personnel adjustments, but just praised the players who performed outstandingly. Of course, Zhang Xu was definitely indispensable. Then, he explained a few things to pay attention to and left the time for the players themselves.
After the second half of the game changed sides, Serbia was obviously unwilling to fail. They increased their offense, but under Zhang Xu's obstruction, their offense could only hit walls again and again.
On the contrary, because of the strengthening of offense, the defensive power was weakened a little, which gave Zhang Xu a chance.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu made an accurate prediction and tackle. After blocking the opponent's pass, he poked the responding Marchena with his toes.
After Machener got the ball, he saw that Zhang Xu had already climbed up quickly and quickly returned the football to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu leaned against his right foot and stopped the ball, then raised his head and looked forward. It was revealed that the formation on Sevilla's right side was a little loose.
So he passed the ball directly with a long pass, accurately passing the ball to Ricky who was hovering on the right side of the frontcourt.
Ricky took the ball off with **** and then led the ball into the penalty area with her diagonally!
Two Serbian defenders rushed up, one of them blocked the angle of his shooting, and the other one rushed towards Ricci.
Ricky didn't want to get involved with them, so she pushed the ball directly into the middle of the two of them with her right foot.
Oliveira was shooting with an angry shot!
Football turned into a bolt of lightning and entered the internet in response!
2:o!
Zhang Xu took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to help the team win another goal! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
