go - Defer usage clarification

Question

Let's assume I have the following function

func printNumbers(){
 var x int

 defer fmt.Println(x)

 for i := 0; i < 5; i++{
  x++
 }
}

As it is said in the specification:

Each time a "defer" statement executes, the function value and parameters to the call are evaluated as usual and saved anew but the actual function is not invoked.

Obviously, zero will be printed out when the function execution ends. But what should I do if I want to print out the final value of variable x?

I've come up with the following solution:

func printNumbers(){
  var x int

  printVal := func(){
    fmt.Println(x)
  }

  defer printVal()

  for i := 0; i < 5; i++{
    x++
  }
}

So I wonder if there is a better way to resolve this problem.
