The Spaniard's current results rely more on Zhao Yang's plug-in. Celta's current results rely on their skills and tactics.
In La Liga this season, Celta has an average ball possession rate of 59.1% per game, second only to Barcelona's 62.4%; it averages 569 passes per game, third in La Liga, Barcelona 615 times, and Real Madrid 578.7 times; it averages 439.9 short passes per game, ranking third in La Liga
3rd, Barcelona 486.1 times, Real Madrid 472.1 times; pass success rate 83.6%, third in the league, Real Madrid 87.9%, Barcelona 85.8%; average shots per game 15.9 times, third in the league, Real Madrid 20.7 times, Barcelona 18.6 times; average per game
Made 24 tackles, fourth in the league.
In other words, in terms of the data that make up a game, Celta are almost all in the top three, even surpassing Atletico Madrid. They are somewhat unlucky to be ranked fifth.
When Enrique was in charge, Celta Vigo implemented technical changes and focused more on scene control, instead of relying solely on counterattacks to make a living in the past. After Beriso took over, he further strengthened his passing and ball-control style to deliver delicate scenes.
Beautiful, it has become a typical technical flow.
Beriso makes full use of the two full-backs Marius and Honey who have strong assist ability, as well as the wingers Orellana and Nolito who often retreat. The Celta midfielder can often gather 5 to 7 players to participate in the passing and control organization.
There are many catching points and the coordination is natural and smooth.
Beriso's Celta Vigo are also masters of high-position pressing. Not only are the three midfielders and two fullbacks highly mobile, the front trident also actively counterattacks on the spot to reduce the defensive pressure in the midfield and backcourt. Once the ball is intercepted, it can be quickly transmitted on the ground.
Advance. Therefore, Celta can always form complete suppression within a certain period of time, even if the opponent is much stronger than them.
The classic battle of Celta Vigo this season is against Barcelona. Celta not only scored 4 goals, but also had far more chances than the visiting team. The two teams had the same total number of shots. Barcelona had the lowest ball possession rate in the season and the highest number of shots.
.After the game, Barcelona was convinced that they had lost, and Enrique Mascherano and Suarez even admitted defeat.
Sky Sports expert Balague lamented that Celta Vigo proved that "you don't need the best players to build a great team. You can do it if you have a good coach and insist on controlling the ball and pressing high."
If Celta is a technical player, then the Spaniard is a typical physical player.
Espanyol was the team with the most fouls and tackles last season, as well as the team with the most red and yellow cards.
The number of tackles and fouls committed by the Spaniards has decreased this season, but they still rely on their bodies to play football.
The difference from last season is that this season Zhao Yang and Asensio have come. A goal and an organization have raised the Spaniard's offensive power to a higher level.
This duel between the Spaniard and Celta was called a "spear and shield" contest by the media.
Before the game, Espanyol head coach Sergio Gonzalez said modestly, "This is an important game. Celta is a strong team. On the road, a draw is acceptable."
Yes, if we can get three points, it will be an unexpected surprise."
Espanyol's leading striker Zhao Yang also accepted an interview before the game. He said: "Celta's skills are very good. They are good at controlling the ball and have a strong ability to create opportunities. We can't control control with them, but this is not the case."
It means we have no chance to win, so I need to play more efficiently and seize the few shooting opportunities."
Asensio, who was lying on the hospital bed, regretted missing this important game. He encouraged his teammates and said: "Celta is indeed very strong, but they are behind us in the standings, which shows that they are flawed. They
They are not invulnerable, as long as we can find their weaknesses, we can win. I believe that Zhao Yang and Caicedo are all terrible killers. If Celta despises them, they will suffer."
Celta coach Beriso talked in detail about the game against Espanyol before the game.
Beriso did not lose his mind because of the Spaniard's compliments. He said: "This will be a wonderful game and a huge test. I estimate that the Espanyol team will not defend and they will attack and try to win the game.
However, it's just that we can handle it well, because we face this situation almost every day. It doesn't matter what style of play the opponent adopts, we just need to focus on our game and what we should do.
If we do our best, we will be able to achieve good results."
Beriso did not pay too much attention to Asensio's absence. He said: "Without Asensio, the Spaniards may lose some creativity, but the Spaniards never need creativity."
Regarding Zhao Yang, Belliso said, "Zhao Yang is a terrible killer. His performance is shocking, but we will limit his performance."
The core killer of the team, Nolito, was unhappy with Espanyol being ranked ahead of Celta Vigo. He believed that Espanyol, with their ugly playing style, should be ranked at the back. Even Atletico Madrid should not be ranked in the top three. They are known as the top five leagues.
The technique is the best, but Espanyol and Atletico Madrid are just here to hold us back.
Nolito said: "Celta must control the ball and create more opportunities under the rough physical confrontation of the Espanyol. I believe we will defeat the Espanyol and rush into the top four. The Champions League is the highest level competition in the world.
, I hope we can reach the Champions League again."
Aspas was once the absolute leader of Celta Vigo. After his transfers to Liverpool and Sevilla failed, Aspas returned to Celta Vigo again.
Although the current Celta is no longer the Celta when he became famous, Aspas is still the omnipotent Aspas here. In 14 rounds of the league, Aspas scored 4 goals with 5 goals.
Assist and once again conquered the hearts of the fans.
Facing the attack of a strong enemy, Aspas said with confidence that Celta is not afraid of any team. At the Valledos Stadium, Celta can defeat any opponent. No matter how strong the Spaniard is, he cannot be better than Barcelona.
Even better, Barcelona lost 1:4 here, and the Spaniards would never get any better.
Aspas did not give more respect to Zhao Yang, who scored 13 goals. Aspas said that football is a holistic sport, and Celta Vigo is better than Espanyol as a whole, and Celta can completely control the ball.
Without the ball at his feet, no matter how good Zhao Yang's personal skills are, he cannot pose any threat.
The game between Celta Vigo and Espanyol is a confrontation between two dark horses. In addition to the fans of both sides, this focus battle has attracted the attention of many parties. Everyone wants to know which dark horse is darker.
