Chapter 20 The raging flames of war
Paul Pogba (French: pau1pogba, born on March 15, 1993), a Guinea-born French professional football player, was born in the suburbs of Paris, and received youth training in the French second division, Le Afour, and became the captain of the French U16 youth team. Paul Pogba has always been known as one of the most promising new stars in the world.
After Pogba joined Manchester United in 2009, some people predicted that he would become one of the best players in the world in the future. However, under the starlight of Manchester United, he did not get any chance to play and spent most of his time at Antwerp club.
Pogba is a midfielder with both offense and defense, and is the heart of Antwerp. He has comprehensive abilities, tall and flexible movement, passing, protecting the ball and shooting skills. His kicking characteristics are known as similar to Vieira.
Facing such a strong opponent, it would be fake if Zhang Xu had no pressure, but if you want to be afraid, it would be fake. In Zhang Xu's dictionary, there is never the word "fear"; there is only the excitement and excitement of meeting the opponent.
At 6:30 pm, the White Stars came to the venue - Antwerp's stadium Bosur Stadium. Bosur Stadium is much larger than the White Stars' stadium, with more than 16 ooo seats alone. However, although Bosur Stadium is large, it is shabby.
When Zhang Xu followed the team to the locker room, what caught his eye was rusty wardrobe and damaged potholes everywhere, and even the tables and chairs were as old as antiques.
After changing his clothes, Zhang Xu and his teammates walked out of the locker room and came to the stadium to prepare for adaptive training before the game.
"Hi, zhang, look there!" At this time, forward Henry suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted at Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu turned his head and immediately stopped.
It turned out that in the stands in that direction, there was a full of red. Red clothes, red hats, red scarves, red banners, and the dazzling red five-star red flag!
Below the red ocean, there was a big drum that Zhang Xu was very familiar with. Two big men with naked upper bodies were waving huge drumsticks and beating the drum face hard.
This is a group of Chinese fans in Belgium. After hearing that Zhang Xu, a Chinese player from China, participated in this game, he came to Bosour Stadium under the leadership of the Chinese in Chinatown to cheer for Zhang Xu.
"Zhang Xu! Come on! Zhang Xu! Come on! Zhang Xu! Come on!"
The red square was not very big, but the neat shouting and Mandarin sounded so clear and pleasant.
The happy Zhang Xu suddenly didn't care about adapting to the training. He hurriedly ran to the red square and waved to all the Chinese fans.
When he came close, Zhang Xu appeared. The banner read: "Warmly celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China!" Another one is: "Zhang Xu, come on!"
Some other small banners read "Zhang Xu, rise up!" "Chinese football, rise up!" and so on cheering for Zhang Xu and Chinese football.
Zhang Xu's arrival immediately made all Chinese fans excited. They waved the flags and scarves in their hands more enthusiastically, jumped and shouted loudly, and even the drums became rapid and strong.
At this time, the other teammates of the White Star Team naturally would not be polite. They also followed Zhang Xu to the front of the Red Team and interacted with the fans with Zhang Xu.
Pogba was in a particularly bad mood today.
Although he joined Manchester United, he has never played for Manchester United. In order to ensure his future, he entrusted his agent to discuss his contract with Manchester United coach Sir Ferghan to see if he can ensure his playing opportunities and events.
Pogba told his agent that if he could not secure a chance, he would rather leave the Manchester United, which made him sad.
However, last night, the agent told him that there was no substantial progress in the negotiations. Ferguson, like before, did not ensure his appearances and events, and still spoke in an official accent to see his personal status.
Go and see the state of the fuck!
Pogba was angry! Do I still need to see my status? Just check the data and you can know how brave you are in various competitions!
Pogba, who was determined to leave, naturally lacked interest in the Belgian League II matches. So, when he saw Zhang Xu and his teammates interacting with the fans on the court, he tilted his lips: "Hmph, a group of jumping clowns!"
Then he saw the waving flag and a young man with yellow and dark skin in the White Star Team, and continued to mutter: "Chinese? Sneer, can Chinese play football? Joke!"
Zhang Xu naturally didn't know that he had been called the Jumping Clown by his main opponent in this game. After saying goodbye to the red square with his teammates, he began routine adaptive training.
At this time, he saw Pogba.
Pogba is really easy to recognize, black skin is already very rare, and with a famous cockscomb head, who doesn’t know it?
This is the most promising new star in the world? She looks so ugly! Zhang Xu looked at the cockscomb and wanted to laugh.
Pogba felt someone staring at him, so he looked over with his eyes. It was the Chinese player. He was so displeased that he naturally threw a contemptuous expression over.
Uh, what's going on? Zhang Xu was a little confused when he saw this contemptuous expression. Is this guy sick? Well, stay away from him and don't be infected.
The time points to 7:15, all the players returned to the locker room and followed the head coach's last tactical arrangement.
"Today we continue to have a 3-5-2 double-middle formation. The players are: goalkeeper Kevin, defender Alaysand, Vincent...Dris, Henry, zhang..." After Mazu announced the list, he began to explain the tactics in detail.
"The opponents are very strong. From their current ranking, we can see that they rank third and we are fourteenth. Their strongest place is the midfielder, especially the midfielder. This midfielder is called Pogba, who was loaned from Manchester United by Antwerp."
"This player is very strong and is the core of Antwerp. He is very good in both offense and defense. Therefore, the key to whether he can defeat his opponent in this game lies in whether he can limit this Pogba!"
"To limit this Pogba, I plan to join forces with Driss and zhang. Is there any problem?"
"No!" Dris and Zhang Xu answered in unison.
"Okay, then let's continue..."
......
At 7:30, the game time came, and players from both sides entered the court one by one.
Chapter completed!
