Football irons are burning

Crazy streak
The referee ignored it. Although Vicente raised his hand to signal Wu Xi to foul, he did not get a response.

Jalke took the ball and put it straight, Wu Xi went behind the opponent, and suddenly sent a powerful sweeping ball, the ball slid past the goal, and no one touched it!

Lewandowski hugged his head and howled regretfully, he was half a beat behind the ball.

Three minutes later, Wu Xi sent a diagonal pass from the right. Lewandowski shook his head and attacked the goal. Canizares struggled to save the baseline. Lewandowski hugged his head again. Although the opposing goalkeeper was old, his reaction this time was still very fast.

However, after Li Tie took the subsequent corner kick, Lewandowski nodded and scored, finally breaking the deadlock.

1: 0!

Once the deadlock is broken, it will definitely be much easier later on.

Over the past few rounds, the Espanyol team has formed a mature style of play, and the counterattack tactics after leading are quite sharp.

The Valencia team obviously also studied the opponent's tactics, so although they conceded the ball, they were still steady and did not advance aggressively.

Villa tried several times to break through, but all of them were watched by Vidic, and today he met his opponent.

As for the Espanyol team, they repeatedly broke through on the side. Li Tie split the ball in the middle, giving both sides a lot of opportunities.

However, Lewandowski and Tamudo in the middle did not seize the opportunity.

The two actually had a lot of opportunities, especially in the 25th and 28th minutes, when Lewandowski ferried two consecutive headers, but Tamudo sent them flying.

He also apologized to Lewandowski twice.

In the 33rd minute, Li Tie saw that his teammates were unable to score, so he came by himself.

He rushed to a place 29 meters away from the goal, and suddenly shot a ground-breaking long shot, and the ball went straight to the lower left corner.

At critical times, your uncle is still your uncle!

The home fans were all shouting Li Tie's name frantically. Now the number of Espanyol fans is constantly increasing. Originally in Barcelona, ​​it was difficult for them to compete against Barcelona.

However, the arrival of Li Tie attracted a large number of fans, especially Chinese fans, to watch the game.

After rewriting the score to 2:0, the opponent couldn't sit still.

A team that is two goals behind and still stable is not a ground team, but a universe team with excellent psychological quality.

Valencia's offensive power is not weak, but today they met the all-focused Espanyol team, and Villa couldn't open this point, so their offense did not pose much threat.

The arrival of Vidic gave the Spaniards a chance to improve their defense. The three-back defense system played quite reasonably.

Sometimes Eastern European players are better.

Vidic is a tall man with good conditions in all aspects.

In addition, Jalke and Zabaleta are also excellent defenders, so after the past few rounds, the three of them have worked together very well. The entire defense line, with Li Tie commanding in front, is running very smoothly.

The opponent pressed out to attack, and the attack was weak, which gave the Spaniard a lot of opportunities to counterattack.

Before halftime, Li Tie made a through pass, Wu Xi went in offside, and Canizares passed the penalty area and scored an empty goal, 3:0!

The entire Barcelona Olympic Stadium is cheering at this moment. The defeat of Valencia marks the official declaration of the Espanyol team to the traditional giants: here we come!We'll crush you all underfoot.

During the intermission, Pochettino was also very satisfied with the team's performance.

For the tactics in the second half, of course, it is to arrange defense.

Li Tie played the most important part in it. His physical fitness, active running, and fierce and accurate kicks are the best guarantee for the team's defense.

And the current score of 3:0 also allows the team to play more leisurely.

After the start of the second half of the game, sure enough, the Espanyol team deployed troops to defend in the midfield.

Although the opponents also attacked, but unfortunately, it was difficult for them to have a chance.

Veteran Mendieta also went into battle at the moment, and after coming up, he greeted Li Tie.

The two once fought side by side in Inter Milan and won the Triple Crown for Inter Milan.

However, Mendieta's current state is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult for his injured body to burst out any more energy.

The second half was relatively dull, and the leading Espanyol team was not in a hurry to counterattack, and most of the time they focused on stability.

The visiting team was unable to break through the Espanyol's defense, but there was little thunder and rain, and there was nothing to shine.

In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Espanyol team defeated Valencia 3-0 at home, winning 9 consecutive league victories, and also opened the points gap to 7 points in one fell swoop!
At the press conference after the game, the reporter finally brought up the topic of winning the league championship.

Although the Espanyol has always been leading in the past, they have never been the mainstream of La Liga.

But today, they relied on their strong control to defeat the powerful Valencia. Then, they are likely to be able to beat Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid. In this way, winning the league championship is not impossible.

"Undoubtedly, it is still a bit early to say this, but we are indeed still looking forward to this result at the end of the season. We played very well. Li Tie participated in all the goals. He is also a strong barrier in the midfield. Now the debate about who is the successor to the king, I believe no one cares about it anymore. No one will question Li Tie's ability."

Pochettino's words were full of appreciation for Li Tie.

Li Tie on the side also said: "My team is of course very interested in winning the championship. The Espanyol team has a glorious history. I think at the end of this season, they will certainly be able to use their brilliant results to comfort those predecessors. Today's game was really enjoyable. Valencia's offensive strength is not weak, but we defended them very well. Moreover, we scored three goals. It was a good night and we will continue to win!"

A week later, in the 10th round, the Espanyol defeated Real Sociedad 0:3 away and moved on.

Now that their performance is so stable, they have indeed been regarded by the media as the favorites to win the championship.

In the remaining two league and UEFA Cup group matches in November, the Espanyol team scored a high score of more than 11:4. This move is enough for all La Liga teams to raise enough awareness of the Espanyol team.

But it's a pity that just knowing is useless. To prevent Li Tie, no team can do it.

Today, Manchester United is so regretful that their intestines are green.

Although Ronaldo played well, he couldn't support himself alone. Now Manchester United is only sixth in the Premier League, and it has really fallen to the middle of the game.

If Li Tie was there, why did this happen?

Now Manchester United fans will shout Santoku to dismiss get out of class every game. Santoko is afraid to go to Old Trafford to watch the game now. He went to be scolded, and he might be attacked personally.

Entering December, in the four games before the winter break, the Espanyol team will face Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

In the 13th round of the league, the Espanyol took Sevilla under the knife.

The strength of the opponent is actually not bad. In this game, it is more difficult for the Espanyol to win.

Not long after the start, Kanoute scored the first goal for Sevilla, and then they couldn't defend.

This made the home team play a little badly.

In addition to the third round of the UEFA Cup group in the away game against Ajax, the team consumed a lot of physical strength. Although they defeated their opponents and won three consecutive victories in the group, the team also lost De La Pena.

Without Figo, Irving and De La Pena in succession, the Espanyol's midfield is still starting to struggle.

However, Sanchez, who was replaced in the second half, cooperated with Li Tie and Wu Xi, and quickly equalized the score.

Sanchez's inward cut is quite sharp, and the work under his feet is very delicate.

Although the opponent's defense was very precise, facing Sanchez's footwork, he still showed a gap, and he pushed the far corner to score accurately and equalize the score.

Sanchez also found the feeling. A few minutes later, he cooperated with Li Tie to cut in and still shot from the far corner. This time it worked again, 2:1, and the Spaniard overtook the score.

This kid's footwork is indeed very good, and the angle is also very good, but it makes the opponent's goalkeeper very uncomfortable.

In the end, with these two goals, the Espanyol defeated Sevilla 2:1 at home and won 13 consecutive league victories.

At this time, Barcelona and Real Madrid took a nap at the same time, and they were all tied by the underdogs. The Espanyol's points lead further expanded to as many as 9 points.

Such a good situation is indeed too rare.

The three giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have the same points, and they are all 9 points behind by the Espanyol.

This was completely unimaginable in previous seasons.

For many years, the Espanyol team has been a second-rate representative. This season, the shotgun has changed completely, and it seems that the pattern of La Liga is about to change.
