What should I do if I exploded directly?

Chapter 418 Catalan Derby

While maintaining the winning streak, there are other teams to help.

Getafe defeated Barcelona 1:0 at home, allowing the Espanyol to extend its lead to 6 points.

After 12 rounds, the Espanyol ranked first with 9 wins, 3 draws and 27 points. This luck is definitely good.

In the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, the Espanyol team, who played all substitutes, drew 1:1 with Deportivo in the away game.

The Copa del Rey adopts a home and away game system, and only the final is a game to determine the outcome.

The substitute lineup can retreat unscathed, which also gave the Espanyol more confidence in the main force.

They return to the home court and will definitely beat their opponents to advance to the top 16 with all their strength.

The international match day came later, which gave the Espanyol more time to welcome Jia Yi's recovery.

In two weeks, Jia Yi's recovery will definitely be satisfactory.

Taking advantage of this time period, Wenger flew directly to China to see Jia Yi's recovery.

"Come, professor, eat steamed mutton."

In Daqinfeng Hotel, Jia Yi entertained Wenger with Xi'an food.

His weight has dropped to 180 catties, and his physical condition looks very good.

Wenger took a sip of the mutton soup, and his body immediately warmed up. Looking at Jia Yi, he also smiled gratifiedly and said, "It seems that your Chinese medical skills are really good, and you have really come down."

Jia Yi smiled and said, "It will take two months to completely solve the root problem.

I think the team is doing well, so I'm not in a hurry to come back, professor, just take care of yourself. "

Wenger nodded. The Espanyol team will just go all out to deal with the league. The Copa del Rey doesn't matter. Therefore, his pressure is still small.

At that time, La Liga will still have a winter break, and it will be nearly half a month. It is also a good thing for Jia Yi to come back.

La Liga's schedule is much looser than that of the Premier League.

"You take good care of yourself, you must get back up to the best condition, we are not in a hurry.

Even if you don't win the championship this season, it will be the same next season. Anyway, you are only 27 this year. "Wenger is quite calm.

Jia Yi smiled and said, "That's right. I'm only 27. When I was in poor health, I felt like I was 87."

"So do you regret doing that at the World Cup?" Wenger asked.

Jia Yi suddenly said seriously: "For the sake of the country, everything is worth doing."

He then said relaxedly: "Look at how fast our country's football is developing now. A World Cup champion has accelerated the development of Chinese football for at least ten years.

Now our registered football population has exceeded 900 million. There is no need to worry about future development. My sacrifice is definitely worth it. "

Wenger also said with emotion: "Yes, your Chinese football was really bad back then, but now it is really awesome, you don't need to recall European players, you can compete with strong teams.

Once you continue to develop in such a healthy way, with your terrifying population base, it will not be a problem at all to have a few more players like you in the future. "

"Haha, then you might as well come to China to develop in the future." Jia Yi said angrily.

Wenger said: "It's really hard to say, I'm not too young now, I would really like to come to your China to coach if I have the opportunity.

Not to mention, let's eat, this mutton steamed bun is really good, and the noodles are also delicious. "

Wenger then ate it in big mouthfuls, and Jia Yi was also smiling.

The next day, Wenger followed Jia Yi to visit the ancient capital.

Along the way, Jia Yi also told Wenger a lot of ancient things, which gave Wenger a clear understanding of Chinese history.

It seems that China's 5000-year civilization is indeed well-deserved, and Wenger has some plans in mind.

The international match day is over and the national leagues resume.

In the 13th round of the league, the Espanyol defeated Osasuna 1:2 away, and the points also reached 33 points.

Without the frenzy of goals at the beginning of the season, the Espanyol team is now relatively stable.

The opponent actually played well, and the possession of the ball is still dominant.

However, the Spanish team's defense has indeed been doing well.

Toure opened the scoring with a long-range shot in the 19th minute. Osasuna scored with a header from a set ball in the 57th minute to equalize. In the 69th minute, Toure hit the frontcourt again. The score is locked at 1:2.

Despite Barcelona's 4:0 victory over Huelva, the Espanyol team still leads them by 6 points.

In the middle of the week, in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Espanyol team drew 0:0 away from PSV Eindhoven with all substitutes.

This also helped Arsenal a favor. After they beat Steaua Bucharest 7:1 at home, the points ahead of Eindhoven have reached 5 points, and they reached the top 1 one round ahead of schedule.

Arsenal's last away game against the Espanyol, if they win the game with a score of 1:0 or more, they can still get the first place in the group.

But who can win the first place in the group is not very important. In the knockout stage, it is not impossible for the second in the group to eliminate the first in the group.

Don't think that the second place in the group is a soft persimmon, you can pinch it as you like.

Entering December, the Espanyol ushered in a derby.

In the 14th round of the league, the Espanyol team played against Barcelona at home, which was undoubtedly the most important game.

If the Espanyol wins, they will leave Barcelona by 9 points, and there will be no game for this league.

If Barcelona wants to maintain suspense, they have to go all out to beat their opponents away.

Tickets for this game were also hard to find, and the Huawei stadium was packed.

Because it is the home stadium of the Espanyol, the fans of the home team naturally occupy most of the seats.

Of course, some people must have sold their tickets to Barcelona fans for money.

Therefore, there are still nearly 1 Barcelona fans at the scene.

After the start of the game, the visiting team turned away and used Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to control the ball.

When playing against Barcelona, ​​they generally own the ball, so don't expect to have a higher ball possession rate than them.

In 5 minutes, Messi picked a pass, turned around and volleyed in the penalty area, and the ball was pressed by De Gea.

Cheng Yingxiong's header is stronger than his feet, so this shot, although the distance is very close, still did not score.

In 11 minutes, Messi broke through and gave Eto'o a one-handed goal. Unfortunately, the angle was too small. When Eto'o got the ball, the angle was blocked by De Gea. His forced shot was also saved from the bottom line .

In 14 minutes, Messi was still swaying left and right in the penalty area, and was finally knocked down by Toure in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty kick.

Messi was also extremely dissatisfied, and complained to the referee a few words, but got a yellow card.

In the 18th minute, it was still Messi who made the ball for Iniesta. The latter made a breakthrough with Zabaleta and made a pass. Red, blood flowing all over the face!
The team doctors of both sides rushed in to deal with their respective players.

Afterwards, they were all lifted down for stitches.

This kind of filling injury affects the game, not to mention the two people who are good at headers. One likes to head the ball when attacking, and the other uses headers to clear the siege. It will definitely not work without stitches.

In the first 20 minutes, the visiting team had the advantage, but the home team didn't even have a single shot.

This made the fans of the visiting team very arrogant. In the stands, they also made provocative gestures to the Espanyol fans.
