The green devil

eight thirty in the evening

Amidst the cheers of the Espanyol fans, Zhao Yang stepped into the Vallecas Stadium again, but the sign-in system did not respond. Zhao Yang was sure that the stadium was indeed short of balls.

It doesn't matter if you don't sign up for new skills. Zhao Yang already has a lot of skills. In the first eight rounds of this season, Vallecano only achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, ranking 15th in the league. Zhao Yang thinks they can't What a threat to the Espanyol.

Not only Zhao Yang thinks so, the Espanyol team is full of confidence in this game.

An offensive-oriented team, the summer transfer left Bueno, who scored 16 goals, Baptistan, who scored 7 goals, and Kakuta, who scored 5 goals but had 7 assists. The field is still complete, and there is still some strength left.

It can be said that Vallecano's record this season is in line with their strength.

If you don't have the confidence to win such a team, the Spaniard may be in danger of relegation this season.

After experiencing a three-game losing streak, Vallecano seems to have recognized the reality. This game has a 451 lineup, ready to compete with the Espanyol in the midfield.

Goalkeeper: 25-Tonio

Four defenders: 2-Tito, 27-Llorente, 18-Castro, 15-Lat

五中场：8-巴埃纳、10-特拉索拉斯、19-班古拉、20-艾伯特、21-霍萨贝德

Single striker: 24-Guerra

As expected, Zhang Dong sat on the bench.

Seeing that the high center forward Manucho, who scored 5 goals last season, did not start, the on-site commentator was a little strange. He jokingly said: "Vallecano coach Gamez is a well-known personality coach in La Liga, and he often has tactical innovations. In the last game, Gamez unexpectedly played against Barcelona at Camp Nou, and lost 2:5 in the end. This game has hidden Manucho again. No one knows what kind of play he wants to play. .”

西班牙人依然是442的阵型，门将:13-洛佩斯，四后卫：6-罗科、18-弗恩特斯、22-冈萨雷斯、23-阿尔比拉；四中场4-桑切斯、5-阿尔瓦雷斯、17-佩雷斯、25-阿森西奥/20-凯塞多、30—赵阳。

What is different from the past is that Zhao Yang was promoted to the forward position and partnered with Caicedo.

After the start of the game, the Spaniard turned away and attacked Vallecano from the first minute.

Although Vallecano formed a 451 formation, the offensive awareness engraved in the players' bones will not be lost. They competed fiercely with the Spaniard in the midfield.

In the 5th minute of the game, Vallecano relied on the advantage of numbers to complete the steal in the midfield.

Albert split the side, and Batra dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line from the side.

Vallecano's counterattack was very decisive. The player advanced fiercely. Before the Spaniard had time to organize the defense, Bartra crossed the ball to the penalty area.

Fortunately, Guerra was the only one in the middle of Vallecano to grab the point, and the ball was headed out by defender Gonzalez.

Gonzalez just made a hasty clearance, but the ball just fell to the captain Victor who returned to the defense.In front of Sanchez, Sanchez swung the header and passed it to Asensio.

After performing a hat-trick of assists in the last game, Asensio seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du. Facing the incoming ball, he didn't stop, and directly volleyed and passed it to the frontcourt.

After eight rounds of the league, Caicedo and Asensio also had some tacit understanding. He suddenly accelerated, threw off the defender, and formed a tendency to go to the meeting alone.

Goalkeeper Tonio made a quick attack and rushed out of the penalty area to block Caicedo's one-handed goal.

The goalkeeper attacked too fast and gave Caicedo a small angle to shoot. Caicedo flicked the ball horizontally, intending to pass Tonio.

Tonio was about to throw the ball at Caicedo's feet, and this swipe just swayed him past.

However, Caicedo's ball was a bit too big, and Bangura, who returned to Vallecano's defense, rushed to the high speed and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

The Espanyol fans thought it was a dream start, but they couldn't help but sigh because they didn't expect it to be a wild joy.Caicedo is still a bit rough, if Zhao Yang is replaced, he probably will get in.

Rayo Vallecano, who has lost three games in a row, obviously doesn't want to score only one point at home. They started five midfielders just to control the Spaniard's offensive starting point.In the 9th minute, Vallecano's full-back Tito made a super long pass after receiving the ball, and the ball was passed directly to the full-back Albert.

Albert stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area and crossed it to his striker Guerra.

Guerra followed up quickly, kept the ball, and shot when facing the ball.

Guerra overestimated his shooting skills. With this volley, he flew high over the top edge of the goal.

Goalkeeper Lopez took the goal kick with a big foot, crossed the midfield, and went directly to his striker.

Vallecano's defender grabbed the spot and headed the ball back.

The ball was grabbed by the Spaniard defender Gonzalez, who headed the ball to Perez.

Perez chested the ball, flicked the ball past the defender and passed it to Asensio.

Asensio made a long pass to find Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang was closely marked by Vallecano, and it was difficult to control the ball, so he could only ferry the ball to Caicedo with a header.

Caicedo was also surrounded by Vallecano players and couldn't find a chance to shoot. He saw his midfielder Alvarez inserting from the wing and immediately went to the wing to find Alvarez.

Alvarez hit the bottom at high speed and passed the ball back to Zhao Yang who was keeping up.

Zhao Yang was blinded by the interference of the defender, and he hit the ball with a burst shot.

The ball roared and went straight to the goal.

The goalkeeper Vallecano flew to save, but did not touch the ball.

Just when the Spaniard fans were about to cheer, the ball hit the crossbar heavily and bounced out.

"Ugh!"

The Espanyol fans at the scene let out a huge sigh.

It was another excellent chance to score, but Zhao Yang's ball dribbling was a bit poor.

If you don't take the gift from God, you will suffer backlash.

At this moment, the fans of the Spaniard are worried that if the Spaniard can't grasp the opportunity, will he be killed by Vallecano?

Soon the Spaniard felt that his worries were unnecessary. Two minutes later, Rayo Vallecano made a pass from the side. The forward Guerra failed to stop the ball under the interference of the Spaniard defender Gonzalez in the penalty area. Albert grabbed the ball. At the second point, he pokes and shoots on the small penalty area line, and the ball bounces off the post.

Guerra grabbed a point and shot again, but the ball was kicked and flew directly out of the baseline.

The on-site commentator said humorously: "The players on both sides are too polite. This is because no one wants to score first."

After the start of the game, both sides had chances, but neither of them grasped them. Next, the game entered a stalemate. The two sides fought in the midfield. Except for set kicks, it was difficult to directly threaten the opponent's goal.

Regarding the difficulty of the game, the Spaniard was obviously not as well prepared as Vallecano, and the players were a little impetuous after being unable to score for a long time.

In 30 minutes, Zhao Yang's bicycle breakthrough was brought down and he won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Asensio's cross almost caused the Vallecano defender's own goal.

Immediately after Vallecano launched a counterattack, the defender passed the ball diagonally from the left and passed the ball behind him. Albert went in against offside and volleyed the ball sideways without stopping the ball to the center.Forward Gera followed up in the middle to grab a shot.

Espanyol defender Rocco reached out and pulled Gera down in desperation.

beep!

The referee ran over to show Rocco a yellow card and awarded a penalty.
