Based on Simeone's understanding of Zhao Yang and Asensio, at this distance, they are not sure of scoring directly.
If there is an indirect free kick, Simeone is very confident in his defense. Unless he is lucky, Simeone does not believe that the Spaniard can break Atletico Madrid's goal.
But coach Simeone had a bad premonition when Asensio scored with a try. He always felt that the two young Spaniards were a little weird.
When Zhao Yang scored with an S-shaped free kick, Simeone realized that they had been tricked by these two kids in their 20s.
Before this game, Atletico Madrid was undefeated in 6 rounds and conceded 3 goals. Not only did they not win this game, they actually conceded 3 goals. This is unacceptable to Simeone, who regards defense as his first priority.
"Asshole! Asshole!"
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Simeone was so angry that he cursed.
In the VIP box, Chen Yansheng had been staring at the court intently. The moment the ball scored, Chen Yansheng felt that all the blood in his body was almost rushing to his brain.
"nice shot!"
Chen Yansheng let out a roar that was completely inconsistent with his usual elegant image.
Atletico Madrid chairman Cerezo and director Zhang Lin were chatting. They thought the overall situation had been decided and did not pay attention to the game. They were all shocked by Chen Yansheng.
"What a good shot? Boss Chen! What are you doing..."
Before Zhang Lin finished speaking, he heard the cheers of Espanyol fans and looked up to see the Espanyol players celebrating.
"I lost the ball! How did I score?"
Zhang Lin and Cerezo were both shocked.
Soon, the big screen in the stadium showed the picture of Zhao Yang's free kick.
"These two boys! How despicable!"
Zhang Lin was slapped in the face in front of Chen Yansheng. He was annoyed and couldn't help but cursed.
Chen Yansheng had calmed down his surprise at this moment and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, don't be so angry. From another perspective, you and I should be happy because our country has produced a football genius!"
Zhang Lin snorted. If Zhao Yang was from Atletico Madrid, of course he would be ecstatic, but now that Zhao Yang is a player from Espanyol, he is much less excited.
Cerezo stared at the big screen that repeatedly played the goals, and murmured to himself, "Is it so easy to kick an S-shaped free kick? He actually scored two in a row! Oblak! I am so disappointed! So
Any clumsy deception can fool you..."
Although it was an equalizing goal, it was against Atletico Madrid in the Western Premier League. This was an away game and it was the last minute. A point is precious.
The Spaniard's celebration was almost more enthusiastic and longer than the victory.
Atletico Madrid fans finally woke up from the blow. Except for many fans who turned away in disappointment, other fans once again covered the Spaniard's cheers with boos and curses, making the stadium a world dominated by Atletico Madrid fans.
The Spaniard's celebration finally came to an end after the referee's intervention, and the players from both sides returned to their respective halves, waiting for the game to start again.
At this moment, the stoppage time has already expired, and it is difficult to say whether the referee will give another chance to attack. It is almost a foregone conclusion that each side will score one point.
The referee still gave the home team Atletico Madrid some face. After Torres kicked off the ball from the center circle, he did not blow the whistle directly, giving Atletico Madrid a chance to attack.
Time was running out, and there was no time to organize an attack calmly. After Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players quickly inserted themselves into the Spaniard's penalty area, Atletico Madrid's defender drove past with a big kick.
After a fight for the ball in the penalty area, the ball was pushed out of the baseline by a Espanyol player. Atletico Madrid players wanted to take a corner kick, but the referee did not give him another chance and blew the whistle to end the game.
The Atletico Madrid players had suppressed their anger and now directed it at the referee. They chased the referee and asked why they didn't give this attack a chance.
Simeone also shouted angrily towards the court, as if with this corner kick opportunity, they would definitely score another goal.
The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were also very angry. The top three in the Western Premier League were equally matched, and maybe just one or two points away from them, and the championship would change hands.
Originally, Barcelona had 4 points more than Atletico Madrid. After this game, the point difference between Atletico Madrid and the winning Barcelona reached 6 points. Barcelona needed to lose two games, which greatly increased the difficulty of catching up.
It turns out that Atletico Madrid has 2 points more than Real Madrid. After this game, Real Madrid tied Atletico Madrid in points after defeating Elva away from home.
Atletico Madrid fans could not vent their anger, and they directed it at the referee.
Espanyol players and fans don't care what Atletico Madrid makes, they just celebrate.
For the Espanyol players and fans, getting a point from Calderon is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. It is a huge success and it greatly helps to boost the confidence of the players and fans.
Zhao Yang scored twice from free kicks in this game and was the biggest contributor to the draw with Atletico Madrid.
With these two goals, Zhao Yang's La Liga goals reached 12, and he topped the scorer list in one fell swoop.
This is the first time that a Chinese player has topped the scorer list in the five major leagues. Even if it is only temporary, this is a great honor.
While the Espanyol players and fans were celebrating enthusiastically, reporters found Zhao Yang, who had just exchanged jerseys with Torres, and conducted a post-match interview with him.
The team got a draw and he scored two goals. Zhao Yang was very happy and accepted the interview with Ji Zhu with a positive attitude.
"The game is over, how do you feel?" a reporter from "Aspen" asked.
Zhao Yang put his jersey on his shoulders, wiped the sweat from his face with his hand, and said: "I have gained a lot. Atletico Madrid is a world-class team and has just won the La Liga championship. It is also great to be able to draw with them in an away game."
It proves our strength and hard work. After this game, I believe we will achieve better results."
"Better result? Europa League or Champions League berth? Or La Liga championship?" "World Sports News" asked.
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "It's hard to say, just take it a step at a time, but it will definitely be better than last season."
Last season Espanyol ranked tenth. This season, Espanyol is now ranked fourth, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than last season.
"Do you know that you are now the top scorer?" Ji continued to ask.
Zhao Yang shook his head and smiled: "I don't know, but it feels good."
"Messi and Ronaldo have won the top scorer titles for five consecutive seasons. Can you break their monopoly on the top scorer title?" A Chinese reporter
Zhao Yang smiled and thought, "How can I compare with those two animals? They are fierce men who scored forty or fifty goals in a season." He smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter whether you can be the top scorer or not, as long as the ball
The team can win, and of course, if the team can win and get the top scorer, that would be the most perfect thing.”
