The Spaniard's defensive counterattack made Celta feel like a tiger had nothing to eat.
Celta had an absolute advantage in possession of the ball and had a lot of shots from the outside, but there was no way to break through the Spaniard's goal.
The more the Spaniards defended, the more confident they became, and their counterattacks became more and more sharp.
Even the Spanish defender dared to take the ball and rush forward to attack the Celta Vigo defense.
The more Celta played, the more frightened it became. After more than half an hour of the game, the previous confidence was gradually worn away by the Spaniard.
Belliso on the sidelines was also a little unable to sit still.
He originally thought that without the core organization of Asensio, the Spaniards would not be able to counterattack with high quality, and they could completely defeat the Spaniards with the quantity of attacks.
But what Beriso didn't expect was that the Spaniard's defense would be so tenacious and the physical confrontation so fierce.
Of course, this is also related to the on-site referee's penalty scale being too loose. With the referee's connivance, the Spaniards gave full play to their physical fighting characteristics and cut the game into pieces.
What makes it even more difficult for Beriso to understand is that the Spaniard, who has committed countless fouls so far, has not received a yellow card.
Thirty minutes into the game, Celta also realized that by relying entirely on short passes and penetration, in the end, it was not necessarily whether they broke through the Spanish goal first or were defeated by the Spanish counterattack.
So Celta stepped up its long-range shots and crosses.
With so many people in the penalty area, long-range shots are not easy to hit, and more footwork is required. Although crosses from the wing are a good way to break dense defenses, the Spaniards can't stay in the penalty area, no matter how many passes they make.
It is also difficult to break through the Spaniard's goal with his footwork.
In the 40th minute of the game, Celta, who had nothing to do, made another change. Now Nolito, Aspas, and Aureliano not only passed and cut the ball, but also started personal breakthroughs, trying to create opportunities for set pieces.
Nolito took the ball and broke through from the center. Diop and the central defender went to double-team. Zhao Yang also quickly returned to defense, not giving Nolito a path to pass back.
Nolito's breakthrough ability is not as strong as Zhao Yang's, but his ability to get rid of the ball is not weak. When the defensive player comes over, he spins in a circle and passes the ball to Aureliano.
Orellana moved the ball towards the penalty area and quickly rushed over.
Another central defender, Rocco, quickly came over to block it.
Orellana made an emergency stop, picked up the ball, and hoisted it to the other side of the penalty area, looking for Aspas.
Aspas was accompanied by Spanish midfielder Sanchez, but Aspas took his time and leaned against the defender, seemingly preparing to stop the ball with his chest.
But when the ball flew, Aspas suddenly turned his back and pushed Sanchez.
Sanchez was pushed and staggered, losing his position, but Aspas stopped the ball with his light thigh, turned around and volleyed.
This volley was so powerful and heavy that it went straight towards the goal like a cannonball.
Espanyol goalkeeper Lopez was still wondering why the defensive player was passed. Where was the ball now? The ball flew over with a roar.
Lopez was shocked and quickly jumped towards the ball.
Aspas shot from the corner of the penalty area. The angle of the shot was not very good. Lopez knocked the ball out with both fists.
Celta fans in the stands screamed in surprise.
"What a shame! What a beautiful shot!"
Dondo sighed: "Just from the handling of the ball and the final shot, Aspas is really good."
Li Huidao: "Celta has Aspas and Nolito, while Spaniards only have Zhao Yang now. It is really difficult to win this game."
Tang Duo said: "Actually, it's okay not to win. A draw is completely acceptable to the Spaniards."
Li Hui laughed and said: "Celta cannot accept it. This is only the first half. Celta will definitely be even crazier in the second half."
After goalkeeper Lopez knocked the ball out, the ball was still grabbed by the surrounding Celta players, and the ball returned to Nolito's feet again.
Nolito and Aspas played two one-on-ones on the wing and passed two defensive players.
Perez, the third Spanish defender, came up, thinking that Nolito was still trying to cooperate. Unexpectedly, Nolito pretended to pass the ball and suddenly penetrated the crotch of Perez who was defending him, and then quickly rushed into the penalty area.
.
It is most dangerous for a player with excellent skills like Nolito to rush into the penalty area because you dare not commit a foul. A foul will be a penalty kick, but it is also very difficult to win the ball without fouling.
After Nolito rushed into the penalty area, the central defender and midfielder came to defend him. Nolito caused chaos in the Spanish penalty area.
However, with so many players, Nolito could not find a chance to shoot. He wanted to pass to the front of the penalty area to find his teammates, but there was no passing line.
Helpless, Nolito could only pass the ball back to the wing, allowing the winger Vass to organize the attack.
Nolito's backheel passed to Gas who was receiving from the wing.
At this moment, there was not much time for a kick in the first half. Gas barely stopped the ball and went directly to the front of the penalty area to find their core Aspas.
This may be the most accurate ball passed by Celta Vigo's youngster Vas in this game. With so many players at the front of the penalty area, his pass happened to be in front of Aspas.
However, there are people in front of and behind Aspas. The volley is likely to hit someone. If he stops the ball, he can stop it, but after stopping, without Messi's passing skills, he will definitely be made into a dumpling.
of.
However, Aspas is Aspas. At this time, he adopted a method that no one could have imagined. The ball fell in front of him. He jumped up and used the arch of his foot to lift the ball over the defensive player.
He also picked out goalkeeper Lopez who was standing near the near corner and flew directly to the back corner of the goal.
This is a fantastic shot.
The defensive players didn't expect it, and neither did goalkeeper Lopez.
Seeing the ball flying towards the back corner of the goal, Lopez stepped back desperately, trying to get the ball out, but it was too late. The ball flew into the net against the angle between the goal post and the crossbar.
1:1
In the 45th minute of the first half, Celta Vigo star Aspas scored a magical shot that broke the Spanish goal.
Watching the ball hit the net, Aspas laughed loudly, opened his arms and ran towards the stands.
At this moment, the Celta Vigo fans who witnessed Aspas' magical performance were going crazy. They clapped and cheered desperately, turning the Valledos Stadium into a sea of joy.
The on-site commentators Tang Duo and Li Hui looked at each other and were both shocked.
"What a goal! What a goal! It's no worse than Zhao Yang's goal! This is a fantastic goal! Aspas is indeed the patron saint of Celta Vigo."
Li Hui also admired, "It's really imaginative. He is very calm when handling the ball. I didn't expect that he wouldn't even have a chance to play in the Premier League. It seems that some people are born for certain teams."
