Perez looked up to the sky and sighed. He was very sorry that he didn't score in such an opportunity.
Sitting on the bench, Zhao Yang couldn't help but shake his head. Perez's shot was already very good. I can only say that Kameni is really amazing.
Burji, who was sitting next to Zhao Yang, saw Zhao Yang shaking his head and asked: "Zhao, can you score if you shoot?"
At the beginning of the season, Burgi was a substitute with Zhao Yang and Diop and had a good relationship. Now Burgi is still a substitute, but Zhao Yang has become the absolute main force of the team, the darling of the coach and chairman, and the idol of the fans.
Really annoying
Burji and others were envious and jealous.
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Even if I were to shoot, it wouldn't be any better. The goalkeeper reacted too quickly."
Burgi said: "Don't be modest. If you come to shoot and there are no accidents, Kameni will not be able to react."
Substitute goalkeeper Baldi said: "It's hard to say, Kameni's second reaction was to block the ball with his feet."
Burgi said: "So Kameni is really powerful. Zhao Yang didn't play. Let's see who can break through Kameni's door."
Baldi said: "I think it will be Asensio."
Burgi said: "Caicedo, apart from Zhao Yang, Caicedo has scored the most goals."
Zhao Yang said: "Not necessarily. Málaga will definitely keep an eye on Asensio and Caicedo. Maybe others will have a chance."
On the field
Perez's shot just now inspired the Spaniard's offensive enthusiasm. Under Asensio's organization, the Spaniard launched a siege on Malaga's penalty area.
In the 19th minute of the game, Asensio broke through from the left and suddenly made a cross from the outside of the penalty area. The ball did not pass to forward Caicedo in the center, but crossed half of the court to the right side of the penalty area.
Once again, Perez entered the penalty area from the right at high speed and volleyed against the turf. The ball only hit the dead center of the goal.
This ball was passed well and shot even better. Goalkeeper Kameni desperately moved to the right but was still a step too slow. The ball flew into the net close to the goal post.
1:0
Midfielder Perez opened the scoring for Espanyol.
There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and tens of thousands of Espanyol fans shouted Perez's name in unison, applauding his exquisite goal.
Head coach Sergio stood up and applauded. He was relieved. If he didn't score in ten minutes, he was going to send Zhao Yang on.
Faced with a great opportunity, Sergio didn't want to dream too much.
Now that Perez has scored, Sergio is no longer in a hurry. Zhao Yang can rest as much as he can. There will be more use of Zhao Yang in the future.
The on-site commentator was full of praise for Perez's goal and said: "Zhao Yang is not the only one who can score goals for the Spaniards. We have many outstanding players who can attack the city. This is the Spaniard's outstanding record this season."
reason."
bench
Burgi said: "Zhao Yang, you are so right, it was Perez who scored the goal."
Baldi said: "This shot has a bit of Zhao Yang's shadow, but I think it has a bit of luck."
Burgi said: "Goalkeepers think that good shots are fooled. In fact, there is no luck in the world."
Zhao Yang smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself, there is no luck in the waves of my world, they are all customized by the system and standardized shots.
Both the fans and the Espanyol players thought that Perez's world wave was the beginning of the goal. Unexpectedly, the Malaguistas' defense was very resilient, and they were mentally prepared to lose the ball in advance. They were still calm and unhurried next time.
The defense did not give the Spaniards an opportunity to take advantage of.
On the contrary, the Spaniard who scored the goal played a little rashly, always thinking of scoring another goal to seal the victory. However, haste makes waste, he did not create a few shooting opportunities, and was almost counterattacked by the Malagueños.
.
The first half of the game ended with Asensio's long-range shot.
The Espanyol team created three must-goal opportunities in the first half and only took advantage of one.
The score of 1:0 is not big or small. The fans cannot say that they are satisfied or dissatisfied. They can only say that it is unsatisfactory.
During the halftime break, head coach Sergio didn't say anything. He just talked about the problems that occurred during the offense and defense in the first half and asked the players to pay attention.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Sergio sent on Zhao Yang and replaced the inactive Caicedo.
This was a matchup substitution, which also showed that head coach Sergio was not satisfied with the score.
After Zhao Yang came on the field, the first person to be liberated was not Asensio, but another young forward Gerard Moreno.
Zhao Yang has become so famous recently. After all, he scored 12 goals in two national team games. No matter how bad the national team is, it is really not something ordinary people can accomplish.
After coming on the field, Zhao Yang was like the sun, attracting all the attention of the Malagueños. Moreno was almost ignored by the Malagueños.
Asensio's pressure has of course been reduced. Zhao Yang can not only score goals, but also make breakthrough passes.
Zhao Yang's passing is not that good. His footwork, vision, consciousness, and proficiency are not as good as those of the newbie Zhao Yang, as Asensio.
But Zhao Yang has one advantage that Asensio cannot match, and that is Zhao Yang's extremely strong breakthrough ability.
With his super breakthrough ability, Zhao Yang can get a lot of space, and passing the ball will naturally be much easier.
Therefore, Zhao Yang's ability to organize passes is average, but he has many more assists than Asensio.
The effect of Zhao Yang's appearance was almost immediate.
Less than five minutes into the second half, captain Victor Sanchez found Zhao Yang with a through ball.
Zhao Yang didn't dare to take the ball in the crowd, so he knocked back to Asensio.
Even though he just made a hit-the-wall coordination, Zhao Yang was kicked in the back very covertly by the defender.
Asensio gave the ball to Moreno, and Zhao Yang pulled it to the side, taking away two defensive players for Moreno.
Facing a defensive player, Moreno faked a move and shook the opponent, then shot directly.
However, the shot was rushed and did not pose much threat to the opponent. Goalkeeper Kameni reached out and hugged him.
In the 55th minute of the second half, Zhao Yang retreated to get the ball, and the Malaga center back stepped forward to prevent Zhao Yang from catching the ball easily.
Zhao Yang saw that the central defender was following closely, but he still did not take the ball, but slipped the ball between his legs, trying to pass the ball to Moreno who was in front.
This cooperation requires tacit understanding. If it is Caicedo, he may be able to understand what Zhao Yang means, but Moreno is a substitute. He and Zhao Yang do not cooperate much on the court, and they do not understand Zhao Yang's intentions. Seeing the ball pass from Zhao Yang
The crotch rolled past, and Moreno tried to catch the ball again, but it was too late. Malaga's midfielder had already come to steal the ball.
Moreno and Zhao Yang don't have a tacit understanding, but Asensio does.
He knew that Zhao Yang's ball was difficult to stop, so he was ready to respond. When he saw that Zhao Yang was about to miss the ball, Asensio immediately rushed over to get the ball.
The opponent's defensive midfielder is also very fast, and it is not easy for Asensio to get the ball.
Asensio was also very smart. He ran over the ball quickly, knocked his heel and passed the ball to Moreno.
Malaga's defensive midfielder was one step behind Asensio. When he wanted to make a clearance, he found that the ball was gone.
Moreno was regretting not catching Zhao Yang's pass just now, when suddenly the ball came in front of him.
Moreno was overjoyed. He stopped the ball, avoided the defender's interception, and shot.
