What should I do if I exploded directly?

Chapter 450

In the 8th round of the league, the Espanyol defeated Mallorca with 3 goals in an away game. However, there is still bad news for the team. Veteran Ballack was kicked and injured his ankle during the game. months.

After Toure left, Ballack served as a single midfielder more often and took on more defensive tasks.

Ballack's experience has played a big role, which is also an important reason why the team can attack with confidence.

Now that he is also injured, the team can only put the young De Bruyne or Paulinho on top.

In the Copa del Rey game, Wenger began to examine young players.

In the fourth round of the Copa del Rey match, the Espanyol team played away to Celta for the first time.

Wenger let Paulinho, De Bruyne and de la Pena play the positions of the midfielders successively, but the effect was not very satisfactory. The final score was also 2:2, and the two sides drew in the first round.

Without Jia Yi, the Espanyol team played a bit chaotically and lacked organization.

The position of the midfielder also has some loopholes in defense. It seems that this position still requires Ballack to come back to ensure toughness.

In the ninth round of the league, the Espanyol played Osasuna at home, with Paulinho as the starting midfielder.

The opponent is weaker, so there are not many tests for him.

On the contrary, Paulinho also frequently added assists, and the first goal to break the deadlock was that he received a pass from Jia Yi and scored from a long distance.

In the end, the team won another 5 goals at home.

It seems that the team found a substitute for Ballack.

Three days later, Espanyol played against Juventus at home.

Now Paulinho is in trouble.

Del Piero and Joe Wenco hit him on this point many times, making Paulinho tired of coping.

Fortunately, Jia Yi kept making up for him, which prevented the opponent from succeeding.

But the final score was also 0:0, and the Espanyol team's record of multi-line wins since the start of the season came to an end.

This also proves that the current Paulinho has no way to replace Ballack's position.

And this also frustrated the Espanyol team's plan to qualify two rounds in advance. They are now ahead of No.3 Zenit by 5 points. In the last two rounds, they still need to score points to ensure qualifying.

Back in the league, Wenger used De Bruyne to play the midfielder again. The team was tied 1:1 by Deportivo in the away game. Seized the opportunity to break the goal.

This also makes Wenger a little helpless, young people always make mistakes, I hope they can play better in the future.

Next, in the second round of the fourth round of the King's Cup, Wenger still let Jia Yi rest.

In this game, the team showed a strong combat effectiveness.

Paulinho made a series of breakthroughs into the penalty area in 13 minutes, and with a horizontal push, Tamudo easily pushed and scored, breaking the deadlock.

In 25 minutes, Paulinho and Elkeson cooperated again, entering the penalty area and kicking a curved ball, the ball rushed into the back corner, 2:0!

Now, Paulinho seems to be doing well again. It seems that this guy's state is unstable.

Wenger feels that Paulinho can be trained more, young players need more games to exercise, but it is a pity that this guy needs to occupy a foreign aid quota, and using De Bruyne does not occupy a foreign aid quota, but De Bruyne Nei is still too young to be of much use.

Fortunately, there are more games, and the Espanyol team has enough capital to train new players. The league leads by 5 points and the Champions League leads by 3 points. This can provide young people with opportunities to exercise.

In the end, the Espanyol defeated Celta 3:0 at home and eliminated their opponents 5:2 in two rounds. They were one step closer to defending the Copa del Rey.

In the 11th round of the league, Wenger continued to train De Bruyne, and Jia Yi took him to play double midfielders and play three strikers in front.

The Bison and Tamudo on both sides played the ball for Drogba in the middle. This tactic is still very effective.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Jia Yi accurately found Tamudo with a long pass. Tamudo's cross actually went over the top of Drogba's head, but then the Bison pushed and broke the Numancia team's goal.

1: 0!

In the 23rd minute, De Bruyne stepped in to split the side, the Bison caught the ball and wiped it in and pierced it. Drogba jumped high and scored with a header, 2:0!

In the end, Numancia swallowed 7 eggs and was beaten out of his brain by the Spaniards.

This tactic seems to be more effective, and Wenger gradually made up his mind. Before Ballack comes back, he needs to use this double midfielder tactic, sacrifice some of Jia Yi's offense, and help the team win.

A week later, Jia Yi took Paulinho again, and the front line was replaced by Bison, Elkeson and Benteke.

In the away game, they still firmly controlled the scene, leaving Racing Santander with nowhere to go, and the whole game was passively beaten.

Jia Yi's defense helped the team control the ball in the midfield and continued to punch combos.

In the 11th minute, Jia Yi picked the ball to Paulinho who was going forward. The latter made a through pass. Elkeson formed a single shot in the penalty area and scored with a push, 0:1!

The Brazilian kid has a strong ability to seize opportunities, and it is worthwhile for Wenger to cultivate him.

In the 32nd minute, Elkeson received a header from Jia Yi's long pass again. Benteke volleyed vigorously and hit the crossbar.

This guy's movement is really good, this goal is the best reward for him.

In the end, the team beat Racing Santander 0:4 in the away game and continued to lead the standings.

The team's leading advantage this year is still very good, leaving No.2 Barcelona by 7 points.

The prospect of defending the title is very optimistic.

The team then flew to Belarus, in the fifth game of the UEFA Champions League group stage, played away to the Butt team.

Although the opponents are not as strong as the Espanyol, they have the advantage of home court.

Coupled with the cold weather, it did make the Espanyol team a little uncomfortable.

In the first 30 minutes, the home team actually suppressed the defending champion, which was also surprising.

However, it was Hildebrand who started the game. He and De Gea have a relatively clear division of labor, specializing in cup games, leaving Hildebrand for the league.

Hildebrand's state of play was very good. He blocked the ball high and made the opponent's attack invisible.

In the 33rd minute, Jia Yi made a decisive move forward in the middle. Because of the bad field, Jia Yi had little time to break through.

Facing the defending champion, the home team obviously did a lot of work, hoping to score points on the defending champion.

This vegetable field is really good enough.

But this time when Jia Yi broke through, he was more determined. He raised his speed, and although the ball was bouncing, it still did not escape his control.

30 meters away from the goal, Jia Yi kicked suddenly, the ball flew into the dead corner of the goal like a cannonball, 0:1, the Espanyol team finally broke the deadlock.

Wenger on the sidelines also jumped up when he saw the moment the goal was scored, obviously feeling a little stressed.

But now, the Espanyol has taken the initiative. Before the game, they were 3 points ahead of Juventus and 5 points ahead of Zenit. The Espanyol will advance to the round of 16.
