Nothing happened overnight.??

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu got up at regular intervals. He slept very sweetly last night, and he woke up in the morning with a full spirit and refreshed spirit.

After pulling Oliveira to run, Morales had just gotten up when she came back. She opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at Zhang Xu with dissatisfaction, and then walked into the bathroom with swaying.

"Haha!" Oliveira saw Morales' expression, and after she walked into the bathroom, she finally couldn't help laughing.

............

After sending Morales to the Eurostar Hotel, Zhang Xu rushed to the club in Morales' resentful eyes.

Tomorrow is the first game of the King's Cup, and the team is preparing in full swing. As the second captain, he naturally has to set an example. In addition, the current team has become the absolute core of the team, and he cannot be separated from any formation practice.

The Spanish Cup of Del (Spanish: copade1Rey) is a de-elimination football event held annually in Spain, and was held in 19o2.

Spanish football has extremely close ties with the country's royal family. At present, Spain in Europe continues to reward football elites in the name of the royal family. It is the King's Cup second only to the La Liga. In 1975, the "Spanish Champions League" was renamed "King's Cup".

The format of the King's Cup is completely different from that of the league, because the combination of three-level clubs should be a cup match that assists small clubs. The B and C clubs have the opportunity to compete with the A clubs, which has a stimulus and promotion effect on the local football exhibition and the small club economy.

Spain's reward for the winners of the Cup of Kings is also very attractive. The overall bonus has risen to 750,000 US dollars. The symbolic 50,000 US dollars check and routine summoning are also charming. The most attractive thing is that you can directly enter the League Cup, and the club's revenue in advertising and television will surge.

Head coach Ortra attaches great importance to the King's Cup. He believes that with the team's current strength, it is probably difficult to make a difference this season and can only achieve a good ranking, but in the King's Cup...??        `You can still work hard to win a game. If you have good luck, you may still win the King's Cup.

Based on this idea, during the training days, Ortra has practiced various formations in a targeted manner. Of course, the most important one is the formation of the offensive organization. After all, Mallorca is not a team with strong attack power.

In terms of defense, with Zhang Xu's interspersed organization, La Coruna's defense has reached its strongest state. If you still want to improve, you can only improve the players' own abilities. However, for a group of veterans, it would be good if the condition does not decline. If you really want to say that you can improve, you can only look at Zhang Xu himself.

At 2:00 p.m. on November 2, 2o12, the King's Cup match against Mallorca at home officially began.

Because it was a home game, at the beginning of the game, La Coruna, led by Zhang Xu and Belleron, launched a tide of attack on Mallorca.

Mallorca naturally did not want to be outdone. She also launched many counterattacks, but under Zhang Xu's tight defense, Mallorca's counterattack failed to achieve good results.

However, Mallorca's counterattack attracted the attention of Zhang Xu and Belleron. In order to ensure victory in the game, Zhang Xu slowed down the pace of offense, paid attention to strengthening the team's defense, and pursued goals on the basis of stable defense.

In this case, the game situation seems a bit tepid and relatively peaceful. It seems like this, but what about it?

In the 21st minute of the game, Zhang Xu and Marchener cooperated and easily broke the ball from the opponent's forward's feet, and then passed it to Bellelon.

Berellon was not in a hurry to attack, he moved forward slowly with the ball. He fell down the ball with Aguilar from time to time. Finally, he saw that Zhang Xu had already run up and returned the football to Zhang Xu.

After Zhang Xu took the ball, he made an obvious gesture with his right hand and suddenly improved his degree. He quickly crossed the center line and rushed towards Mallorca's hinterland.

Zhang Xu's sudden addition made Mallorca a little unacceptable, so when Zhang Xu rushed forward, no Mallorca player came up to press on the first time.

Finally, when about fifteen meters away from the edge of the penalty area, the first Mallorca player came up.

Zhang Xu did not continue to dribble the ball, but passed the ball out as soon as possible, with the direction of passing Ricky diagonally in front.

Ricky didn't stop the ball, and he pushed the ball directly with his right foot and gave the ball to Oliveira. That's right, it was Oliveira. In the last game, Oliveira scored twice and won the trust of Oltra, and he continued to be arranged for this game.

After Oliveira received the ball, she found that she could not turn around, so she started dribbling the ball horizontally and gave it to the left forward Gama.

Gama immediately started high and quickly went down the bottom along the sideline. After being intercepted by the opponent's defender, he decisively made a cross.

Ricky jumped high in the middle and grabbed the first point, but he did not attack, but instead shot the football back and sent it to Oliveira's feet.

Oliveira pushed the ball! The football rolled into the net!

1:o!

Although this goal was not Zhang Xu's assist or Zhang Xu's goal, his sudden forward insertion suddenly disrupted Mallorca's formation and laid a solid foundation for the team to finally win the goal.

After one goal was in hand, La Coruna played more easily. Under Zhang Xu's dispatch, the pace of the rhythm was also more rounded.

On the contrary, Mallorca also wanted to win back the score and try her best to attack, but in the face of Zhang Xu's strong defense, everything became unrealistic.

The first half of the game ended soon. When the sidelines changed again in the second half, veteran Bellellon was replaced by Thomas, and Zhang Xu once again served as the captain on the field.

Zhang Xu and captain Bellelon have been learning for more than three months. From Bellelon, they have learned a lot of knowledge about midfield organization. In addition, their own abilities have been continuously improved, Zhang Xu's midfield organization ability has gradually been recognized by head coaches Ortra and Bellelon.

Although there are still some shortcomings in some aspects, such as dribbling, technology, imagination, etc., in terms of passing, I have basically obtained the true pass from Belleron and have become the team's metronome.

Now, no matter whether Belleron is on the court or not, as long as Zhang Xu is there, the team's formation will not be chaotic.

Sometimes, Altra is also a little worried about this. What should I do if Zhang Xu is attracted by a wealthy club and transfer to the team? Moreover, this is also a very realistic problem. At least Real Madrid has clearly quoted 30,000 euros to buy Zhang Xu.

Can I refuse once or twice, but can I refuse three or four times? After all, La Coruna is a small club, and there is also a stingy club chairman, so I will definitely not be able to keep Zhang Xu, the real dragon.

Alas, Altra looked at Zhang Xu who was rushing around on the court and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At the beginning of the second half, Mallorca seemed to be eager to equalize the score, so she made a fierce attack, which made La Coruna busy for a while.

In the 47th minute of the game, Hua Jin dribbled the ball into the penalty area. At the last moment, Zhang Xu stabbed the ball out with a precise tackle.

In the 49th minute of the game, Zhang Xu used his body to block the opponent's forward's shot.

............

Under Zhang Xu's strong defense, the team withstood Mallorca's attack and gradually stabilized, and slowly the offense was recovered.

In the 63rd minute of the game, he finally caught the ball from Joaquin's feet again and passed it to Thomas in front.

After Thomas dribbled the ball across the center line, he passed the ball to Aguilar on the right.

Aguilar took a few steps and was entangled by the opponent's defender, so he returned the football to Thomas.

However, Thomas did not catch the ball, but leaned against the opponent's midfielder and turned sideways, and then leaked the ball to Zhang Xu who was inserted.

Zhang Xu sent the ball to Oliveira's feet with a beautiful straight pass, and then quickly stepped forward.

Seeing Zhang Xu running forward quickly, Oliveira didn't know Zhang Xu's intentions, so he didn't catch the ball. He pushed the arch of his right foot and returned the ball.

Zhang Xu was facing the rolling football and shot with a powerful long shot!

With a loud "bang", the football instantly crossed Mallorca's defense line and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

The long shot of the foot was too fast. As soon as Mallorca's goalkeeper stretched out his arm, he saw that the football had passed his finger and pierced into the goal behind him!

The ball is in! 2:o!

Zhang Xu used a shocking long shot to help the team open the door to victory!

This long shot completely wiped out Mallorca's equalizer.

Therefore, in the later game, Mallorca seemed to lose his aggressiveness and focused more on defense.

The opponent has surrendered, so Zhang Xu naturally has no need to chase him. After all, the next game will be with Mallorca, and it only changes from the King's Cup to the league.

So, he slowed down the pace of the attack.

The subsequent game time became garbage time, and soon the whole game ended. In this King's Cup game, La Coruna defeated the visiting Mallorca 2-0 at home and entered the next round.

Two days later, on November 4, the ninth round of the league began, and the opponent was still Mallorca.

This time, Mallorca still played away and his condition still did not improve, so the rhythm of the entire game was controlled by Zhang Xu.

The results of the game were similar to the previous game. La Coruña still won the game, but one goal was missing, 1: o small defeat to the opponent.

The goal was Ricky, who received a straight pass from Belleron, successfully counterattacked and shot into the net with a volley.

After this game, Zhang Xu asked head coach Ortra for leave and prepared to return to China and go to Shanghai to participate in the national team assembly. (To be continued.)
