Chapter 353 Steady the pace
Facing Barcelona again, although he did not defeat Barcelona, Xu Qi still scored a goal and planned a goal. Such performance is of course worthy of praise
However, Valencia only got one point in this game, so Barcelona and Valencia are much behind in the standings.
In another game, Real Madrid defeated Malaga four-to-one, surpassing Valencia and Barcelona in four points.
Of course, Villarreal did not defeat Elcules away, and they drew with Elcules two-two, which led to Barcelona, Valencia and three teams in the Yellow Submarine, all four points behind Real Madrid.
La Liga has started for eight rounds, and Real Madrid has a trend of being ahead of the crowd at this time.
During this period, the selection of the European Golden Boy Awards has also begun. It is indeed worth looking forward to who can become the new winner after Van der Fate, Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, Anderson and Pato.
Currently, the three major Italian mainstream sports media have disclosed a shortlist of 40 people so far.
In fact, almost every wealthy family has young talents selected.
For example, Boyan of Barcelona, Canales of Real Madrid, Contento and Tony Klos of Bayern Munich, Kakuta of Chelsea, Makaida of Manchester United, Rafael and Babe, Pacheco of Liverpool, Coutinho of Inter Milan, Wilshire of Arsenal, De Gea of Atletico Madrid, Gotze of Dortmund, and Balotelli of Manchester City.
Of course, Xu Qi is naturally among them. As the current thigh-level player of Valencia, he ranked among the top in the selection last year, but in the end he was awarded by Pato. This year, there are not many young rookies who can compete with Xu Qi for this honor.
In addition to these giant players, such as Hazard from Lille, Pjanic from Lyon, Shrel from Mainz, and Lukaku from Anderlecht are all good.
There is even Xu Qi's teammate, Douglas Costa, who is now playing for the Donetsk Miners.
This little guy grew up well after Xu Qi left, and now he has become a very important attacker for the Donetsk Miners.
However, they are probably just here to set off Xu Qi. Even Boyang and Balotelli, who are more popular in winning awards, may not be able to compare with Xu Qi's current results.
Although the list is announced, the real awards will probably be selected until December.
Xu Qi also wants to win such an award. After all, this award has never been won by a player from Asia. Although this award is called the European Golden Boy Award, the target of the selection is players under 21 who play in European clubs, so Xu Qi is qualified to participate in the selection.
Of course, like Neymar, a talented young player who is still playing football in Brazil, does not have the ability to participate in the selection of awards such as the European Golden Boy Award.
Xu Qi did not pay too much attention to the news that he was selected for the forty candidates, and of course many people expressed their congratulations to Xu Qi.
And many Chinese media have indeed expressed their happiness about this. After all, it is not easy for a Chinese player to get to this point, and it makes people feel that this is even unreal.
In addition, Xu Qi has recently scored goals against super strong teams like Inter Milan and Barcelona, so Xu Qi has indeed developed toward the current top Asian star. In fact, in terms of value, Xu Qi is already the number one in Asia.
Of course, many people believe that players like Park Ji-sung, who plays for Manchester United, are even more accused of being the No. 1 star in Asia. After all, he plays for giants and often performs well.
After dealing with some media's phone interviews, Xu Qi began to prepare for the next league.
Recently, he has paid more attention to training on offensive creativity and has a more accurate grasp of passing strength.
In the last game in October, Valencia faced Zaragoza at home.
This is the ninth round of La Liga.
In this game, Xu Qi continued to start, and Hua Jin returned from injury but did not enter the starting list, so Xu Qi was still arranged to the right, while Vicente played on the left.
Mata and Aduris also started.
Although Zaragoza is not a La Liga powerhouse, they can be called tenacious in this game.
Valencia didn't get any chance at the beginning.
In this game, Xu Qi still often went to the middle to get the ball as usual. He didn't like to stay on the side, and Emery also allowed Xu Qi to do so. He could run to the side or pick up the middle according to his understanding of the game.
Shortly after the game started, Xu Qi completed a breakthrough in the middle and caused the opponent's young midfielder Herrera to foul, which directly gave Herrera a yellow card.
Herrera is also a very promising midfielder in Zaragoza, but obviously he still cannot compare with Xu Qi. He has difficulty defending Xu Qi. At the beginning, he can only use fouls to delay Xu Qi's breakthrough.
Although Xu Qi was very threatening, Zaragoza was the first to score.
Zaragoza's Italian defender Mauricio Zarolan took advantage of a corner kick opportunity from Zaragoza to head the ball, helping Zaragoza take the lead one-to-zero.
This also puts Valencia in crisis for a while.
However, Valencia is also a strong team after all. Before the end of the first half, Xu Qi, Mata and Hernandez played a series of cooperation. Finally, Xu Qi swept the goal in front of the goal on the right, causing the opponent's defender Saroland to score his own goal.
Before the end of the first half, Valencia tied the score.
In the second half, Zaragoza continued their tenacious pressing and defense, making it difficult for Valencia to control the game for a time.
Many people even think that Valencia's game may end in a draw, but Xu Qi stood up again.
Xu Qi once again demonstrated his recent hard work to create opportunities.
He was on the right and sent an overhead pass from the outside of his right foot. Soldado, who came on the bench, successfully counterattacked and received the meat pie given to him by Xu Qi.
Soldado was also very stable in facing opportunities, scoring alone, helping the team to overtake the score.
Two to one, this is also the final score, and Valencia once again scored all three points at home.
Of course, the two super teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, also won the victory, especially Barcelona, who swept the powerful team Sevilla five to zero in this round, showing their true strength.
Real Madrid beat Elcules 3-1 away.
In this game, Villarreal tied with Sporting Gijon away, and there was a trend of falling behind.
