Chapter 86 You buy a Ferrari, I buy a Mercedes-Benz
The next step is the free questioning stage. №
There are many news media coming to the press conference today, including the local media tabloids of La Coruna, as well as major Spanish sports media, such as "Marca", "As", "Daily Sports" and "World Sports", and Serb Radio. There are also comprehensive media newspapers "National", "Le Monde" and "bsp;
Zhang Xu smiled slightly: "Dream! A heart that never stops pursuing dreams! This is my belief! I have been rejected, discriminated against, scolded, and even beaten, but I have never given up on my dreams! In the end, through my own efforts, I have come step by step to the present!"
"Thank you! You are a person worthy of admiration!" Rivas praised sincerely and sat down.
"Hello, I am Marty, the reporter of Marca. May I ask, are you a member of the Chinese national team?"
"No!" Zhang Xu responded calmly.
"You haven't even been able to join the national team. What do you want to base yourself on La Coruña, which has already entered La Liga?"
Faced with such an aggressive question, Zhang Xu smiled: "I would like to ask the reporter who is named Mr. Mr. Spain. There are so many places in the Spanish national team every year. Can't he play in La Liga without a player who joins the Spanish national team?"
The reporter named Marty immediately fought back: "Sorry, zhang, we Spain are the world champions, where are you China? What is the world ranking?"
"Haha, Mr. reporter, why did the world's No. 1 Spanish team score only one goal in our Chinese team in the friendly match not long ago?" Zhang Xu was still smiling, but his eyes showed a sharp light.
"This, this..." Marty couldn't speak. The Chinese team's performance was indeed good in that game. All media praised the Chinese team very much, so he naturally did not dare to deny it. § ??
"Okay, next!" The news publisher interrupted this topic that was not very comfortable.
"Hello, zhang, I am Piatti, a reporter from Astras. How do you evaluate the current La Coruna?"
Zhang Xu and Jose Ortra looked at each other, and then slowly replied: "I am honored to join the great La Coruna. It is undeniable that this season, La Coruna appeared in the La Liga as a newly promoted team, but every player of our 'Level Laco' has the confidence to strive for a good result this season!"
"What you mean by this good result is...?"
"This good achievement is like someone else buying a Ferrari, and we bought a Mercedes-Benz!" Zhang Xu smiled and made a puzzling metaphor.
Piatti naturally couldn't understand it. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what Zhang Xu's words had to do with his question, nor did he understand what it meant.
When he wanted to ask further questions, he had been automatically skipped by the news officer and called the next reporter.
The press conference did not last long. About forty minutes later, the press conference officer saw that no more reporters asked questions, so he immediately announced that the press conference was over.
"zhang, you performed very well when answering questions!" On the way back to the training ground, head coach Ortra praised Zhang Xu.
"Boss, don't forget, I am a top student at the Sixth University of Paris!" Zhang Xu said deliberately and proudly.
"Haha, get out of here, you're fat, you're kicked!" Altra laughed.
Back at the training ground, Zhang Xu immediately met with the team according to Ortra's request and devoted himself to the intense training.
Today is July 16th, and the team's formation has not been completely decided. There are several main reasons. First, because Zhang Xu has not been able to report, and second, because after the team advanced, he has introduced many powerful players. Of course, most of them are loaned, but it still has a certain impact on the team formation that he was familiar with before. Third, facing all the strong teams in La Liga, La Coruna, who is relatively weak, can no longer play offensive football as he used to be in the Spanish Second Division. He must strengthen his defensive strength, otherwise he will die in the new season.?? `
In order to practice the formation, the team arranged seven friendly matches before the start of the season!
Seven friendly matches, which are rare among top league teams, are enough to reflect the team's determination and sense of urgency to rebuild a new formation.
In this case, the team's daily training focuses on the formation drills, and there are basically one or two team matches every day.
For example, today, Zhang Xu just joined the team and happened to encounter a group match. Zhang Xu was assigned to the substitute team.
"Hi, zhang, it's me, Oliveira!" As soon as he joined the substitute group, before he could stand in the formation, he saw Oliveira in front wave and scream at him.
Zhang Xu smiled at him, and then stood in the back midfielder according to head coach Ortra's wishes.
The substitute team plays a standard 4-4-2 formation with only one midfielder.
The competition began soon.
The main team followed the offensive football style of last season in the Spanish Second Division, and launched a crazy offensive frenzy against the substitutes at the beginning.
Before Zhang Xu came, he had played in such an intra-team competition many times, and almost every time the main team beat the substitute team. But today, the situation is different.
In the second minute of the game, No. 14 of the main team, Aguilar, dribbled the ball across the center line and inserted it all the way, wanting to go deep into the hinterland of the substitute team.
However, before he could run a few steps, he was accurately blocked by Zhang Xu and directly cut off the connection between him and football in advance. The football was naturally controlled by Zhang Xu.
"Beautiful defense!" Seeing this clean and neat position steal, head coach Oltra, who was watching from the side, shouted loudly.
In the fifth minute of the game, the substitute team lost the ball in the opponent's half. The main team, led by captain Bellellon, crossed the center line again and rushed towards the heart of the substitute team.
Zhang Xu calmly greeted him, paying attention to the route and habits of Bellelon's dribbling, while paying attention to the running positions of other players of the main team.
As a former Spanish international and a member of the "Level Laco" dynasty, Berellon's strength is undoubtedly. His best attitude is to pass the ball directly. Some people even compare him with French superstar Zidane and say that if Zidane, the second most passing ball in the world, then the number one must be Berellon!
After being blocked by Zhang Xu, Bellelon was unable to get rid of Zhang Xu's defense at all. So, when he had no choice, he pushed the arch with his right foot and prepared to give the ball to No. 16 Gama, about ten meters in the right front.
The ball passed out, but the rolling rate was not very fast.
At this time, Zhang Xu suddenly started high, and like lightning, he quickly caught up with the rolling football, and then poked the football to Santos, who was receiving the ball before Gaman took it.
"What an amazing explosive power, what a terrifying degree!" Captain Belleron looked at the running Zhang Xu in surprise, feeling deeply moved.
In the ninth minute of the game, the main team made a comeback. This time they learned a lesson and no longer had close contact with Zhang Xusheng, but used fast passes and receiving to quickly enter the heart of the substitute team.
However, Zhang Xu was not helpless about this. Under his active running, he organized the substitute team's defense players bit by bit to form a relatively complete whole.
When the main team entered the hinterland, the overall defensive power appeared. First, No. 17 Ayoze withstood the pace of 1O Thomas' advance, then No. 8 Santos stared at captain Bellellon. Finally, Zhang Xu fell to the ground and tackled the main team's series of quick passes and receiving.
However, the main team also got a chance to get a corner kick.
Aguilar made a corner kick, and the ball flew very flat and was very fast. No. 9 Piji, No. 11 Ricky, No. 1o Thomas, and even No. 16 Gama jumped up to compete for the corner kick.
However, the height and accuracy of their jumping are far from comparable to Zhang Xu, who is amazingly bouncing and excellent heading. Zhang Xu, a beautiful lion, waved his head and easily pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and was cleared by Santos No. 8.
It took ten minutes and there was no goal, which has never been done in previous matches.
While his teammates were feeling his strong defensive ability, they also began to recognize Zhang Xu's position as the main midfielder from the bottom of his heart.
This world is so realistic. As long as you have strong enough, you will definitely be recognized by others! In just ten minutes, Zhang Xu successfully defended the main team from four threatening attacks, and performed extremely well.
In this way, the most intuitive change is that the players of the main team no longer dare to dribble the ball in front of Zhang Xu; while the substitute team members fully recognized Zhang Xu's strength and began to take the initiative to hand the football to Zhang Xu's feet, and Zhang Xu decided whether to attack or defend.
In the 14th minute of the game, when the first half of the match was about to end, Zhang Xu received a return pass from Santos near the center line, and suddenly stepped forward, crossed the center line, and killed Gao towards the hinterland of the main team.
Soon, Aguilar, No. 14, rushed up.
Zhang Xu paused, then picked the ball over Aguilar's head and passed it to Olivera No. 25 who was waiting in front.
Oliveira is already standing on the edge of the penalty area. He leans on the main team's defender No. 6 Aitami, suddenly pulls the ball and turns around, preparing to break through from Aitami's left side.
However, Aitami didn't let him do it. He poked the ball off with a toe of his right foot.
But the ball did not roll far away, and was taken by Zhang Xu, who was rushing towards him. Instead of stopping the ball, he swung his right leg and pulled it hard on the ball!
There was a loud "bang" sound!
The football flew past Aetami like a bolt of lightning, rolling up a strong wind and slung straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
"Bang!" Another loud bang!
The football hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced out of the penalty area!
Chapter completed!
