Chapter 172 The first victory of the national team
After equalizing the score, the national team played smoothly under the leadership of Zhang Xu, and the morale of the team also increased. Everyone seemed particularly confident and strong. Faced with the players of the San Lucano team, they used all the actions they did not dare to do in the past.
The national team is indeed good at playing with the wind, and there is no doubt that this is the case. It is particularly obvious now.
Zhang Xu doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. Being able to play a tailwind is also a reflection of his ability. If he can't even play a tailwind, it means that there are serious problems with the team's ability.
Faced with such a powerful offensive by the national team, the San Lucano team retreated step by step. In the end, in order to protect the draw, all the players had to huddle in their half and endure Zhang Xu's offensive in fear.
Zhang Xu naturally would not let the San Lucano team get what they wanted. He didn't want to see the national team that could only tie the team in Group B of the Spanish Second Division, so he further strengthened the team's offensive.
Zhang Xu still has some experience in breaking dense formations. Short pass penetration is definitely not possible. Then long shots, free kicks, and crosses from the wing, the top of the middle are the best ways to break dense defense.
So, Zhang Xu directed the team and began to patiently look for opportunities, using the vast side roads to frequently transport shells to the middle road.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu's hard work finally ushered in a bumper harvest.
After Zhang Xu received Zheng Zhi's return pass near the center line, he first swayed and moved the ball slowly horizontally. While moving, he observed the opponent's player's position.
At this time, he pushed the football to Zhao Xuri on the right. Zhao Xuri, under Zhang Xuri's instructions, began to attack along the backcourt of the pilgrimage to Lucano along the side road.
This is the tactic that Zhang Xu has played the most in recent times, using the breakthrough on the wing and then crossing to create opportunities for the middle lane.
The choice of this tactic is also based on Zhang Xu's own considerations.
After all, his bounce is really good, and his header is also a great player in La Liga. So as long as there is a suitable opportunity, Zhang Xu believes that he will definitely give his opponent a fatal heavy hammer!
Soon, a player from San Lucano rushed towards Zhao Xuri. Zhao Xuri first made an incisive move. Then suddenly pulled his right foot on the ball, pushed the arch with the flow, and passed the body quickly from the left side of the opponent's body, and easily crossed the opponent's defense.
Such actions can often be seen in the second half of the second half of the second half of the game, and the players of the national team play very easily and relax on the court, frequently using their feet to cause trouble for the opponent.
After Zhao Xuri passed the opponent's defense, he raised his own degree again, and at the bottom, he decisively crossed the foot less than three meters away from the bottom line.
The quality of this cross is pretty good. The flight route just follows the edge of the small penalty area, making it difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper to choose. If you attack, you have to worry that the opponent will seize the opportunity to attack successfully. If you don't attack, if the opponent grabs the first point and heads the ball, the reaction time will definitely not be left for him, which will invisibly increase the difficulty of saving.
The goalkeeper of San Lucano thought about it and finally decided to stay in the goal. However, his eyes were pressed against the flying football, ready to take off to save at any time.
When Zhao Xuri got a cross, Zhang Xu started to quickly get in. When the football flew over the penalty area, Zhang Xu happened to arrive.
Even though three players surrounded him tightly, he still successfully jumped up and hit his forehead hard on the football facing the flying football.
Zhang Xu's header was powerful and very fast. The football drew a beautiful straight line and rushed directly to the upper left corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper of San Lucano immediately jumped up and spread his arms to the flying football. However, the football flew too fast. He had tried his best and still couldn't jump into the football. The football flew past his fingertips and drilled into the net!
The ball is in! 3:2!
Zhang Xu scored twice, helping the national team to successfully reverse with a score of 3-2!
"Ahhhhh!" Seeing the football flying into the goal net, Zhang Xu immediately roared and ran all the way on the court, and then shouted wildly with his teammates.
This made them not feel excited or excited. In the first half, they were almost in despair. They could not imagine how domestic fans would scold them when the score of o:2 was passed back to China.
Now, the score has finally turned the backwards. According to the current trend, this game will definitely be won, and I will finally no longer bear the scolding of the fans, which makes them feel particularly comfortable and relaxed.
All of this was brought by Zhang Xu, so they all admired and grateful for Zhang Xu, and had a hint of guilt. Countless complex moods were intertwined, and they all turned into hugs and shouts with Zhang Xu.
Camacho was also very happy. Although he was very dissatisfied with Team Ronaldo's overpowering command in the first half, this was a game in Spain. If it lost, it would only damage his reputation if it was spread. Therefore, he still hoped that the national team would win.
Now that victory is in sight, he is naturally happy.
Camacho looked at Comrade Luo Jingwei who was watching the ball on the other side. After seeing the other party showing a sensible and praising praises, he couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered a few words he couldn't even hear clearly.
Just as Camacho saw, Comrade Luo Jingwei, the leader of the national team, was indeed applauding the performance of the national team. Like Camacho, he did not want the team to lose the first warm-up match. After passing it back, he was likely to be severely criticized by his leader. Now, the team won, and perhaps he can win the praise and trust of the leaders. Why not do this?
As for Zhang Xu? Because you scored twice for the team's victory, I won't care about you. As the saying goes, adults don't remember villains! Haha!
Thinking of this, Comrade Luo Jingwei laughed proudly.
After seeing that the score was behind, the head coach of San Lucano did not seem to fight the national team as if he was fighting hard. He immediately replaced some young players to train new players.
Seeing the San Lucano team doing this, Camacho felt that there was no need to fight to the death, so he simply sent all the substitutes to continue to work together. Of course, Zhang Xu still stayed on the court.
As a result, the subsequent game time became garbage time. Although Zhang Xu was still actively looking for opportunities to score, his teammates seemed to have lost their enterprising spirit. Cooperating with frequent mistakes, Zhang Xu was annoyed but helpless.
In the end, the national team defeated the B-Group of the Segunda League in this game with a score of 3:2!
After the game, the leader Luo Jingwei was happy and directly announced the decision to give the entire national team tonight, causing the entire national team to howl.
This made Luo Jingwei quite proud of his decision to announce his meal. Just as he was about to give another passionate congratulations and encouragement, Zhang Xu ran straight over.
"Hello, team leader, I have to rush back to La Coruna immediately. I still have a King's Cup game to play tomorrow. Thank you for your extra meal! I'll leave first! Bye!" Before Zhang Xu could agree, he stepped on his backpack and waved to Zheng Zhi and the others, and then ran directly outside the training base.
Luo Jingwei frowned, but he didn't want to say much. After all, Zhang Xu was the biggest contributor to the game. In addition, Zhang Xu took both sides and was also approved by head coach Kamachot.
"Okay! Comrades, your performance today is really great! I am proud and proud of you. I believe that the motherland will also be proud of your performance. The people of the motherland..." Luo Jingwei put aside his displeasure with Zhang Xu, and took advantage of the time when the team gathered, and started his long preaching again.
The quarter-finals of the Cup of Rey start at 7:30 pm on January 16, so Zhang Xu still has a whole day to go back to the club and have a good rest.
The first game was La Coruña's away game, which means that Zhang Xu had to follow the team to Zaragoza's home court.
This kind of back and forth has indeed increased Zhang Xu's physical consumption. Fortunately, he has the amazing skill of "can't run" so when he appeared on the court with the team, he looked lively again.
This time, the opponent in the Copa del Rey is not very strong, and Zaragoza, ranked 12th in the league.
Zhang Xu is really unfamiliar with this opponent, because when the team met Zaragoza in the league, Zhang Xu had just gone to the national team.
And it happened that because he went to the national team, La Coruna lost the away game.
It was precisely because of the last home victory over La Coruna that before the game began, Zaragoza's players and coaches were very confident in this game. They told the media that they would once again teach La Coruna an unforgettable lesson at their home court.
Especially Zaragoza's number one star is also the team's midfield core No. 10 Abono, who even arrogantly declared to the media that he would let the Chinese boy know what kind of players can be called the midfield core and what kind of strength can be based in the La Liga!
