After meeting at the entrance of the Normal University, Zhao Yang and Gao Han's relationship developed rapidly.
Originally, Gao Han kept a certain distance from Zhao Yang, but now he basically no longer rejects being alone with Zhao Yang, and he no longer refuses even small gestures such as holding hands and hugging.
However, happy days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the holidays are over.
Zhao Yang was too far away from home, so head coach Sergio gave him special care and allowed him to come back two days before the game.
The next league game was about to face the strong enemy Sevilla, and Zhao Yang did not want to delay the team's training. After saying goodbye to his relatives, friends, and lovers, he took a flight back to Barcelona that night.
Zhao Yang was the last player to return to the team. After he came back, the Spaniards immediately conducted targeted training before the game around Zhao Yang.
Sevilla ranked fifth last season and is now ranked eighth this season and is a strong contender for the Champions League and Europa League spots.
Don't look at Sevilla's current poor state, only ranked eighth in the league, but Sevilla's foundation is comparable to teams like Espanyol, Celta Vigo, and Villarreal.
Sevilla has won 1 La Liga championship, 5 Copa del Rey championships, 1 Spanish Super Cup championship, 4 Europa League championships, and 1 European Super Cup championship. Since the 21st century, Sevilla has long been in La Liga.
They are in the middle and upper reaches and won the Europa League last season.
Sevilla sent away top scorer Bacca this summer, winger Vidal and many important substitutes such as Mbia.
However, sports manager Monchi still made brilliant moves in recruiting, with Lamy, Nzonzi and Mariano replenishing the defense.
With the addition of Kakuta and Konoplyanka, as well as Vitolo and Reyes, Sevilla still has the best wing assault team in La Liga, which can carry out ultra-wide and ultra-deep strikes at any time.
The core of Sevilla is midfielder Banega. Although Banega played 34 times in La Liga last season, he only scored 3 goals and 3 assists.
But in head coach Emery's tactical system, Banega plays a very important role. He is the ball holder in the midfield and the starting point of the attack. The team often needs to be organized and transported from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
.
Sevilla coach Emery is a famous coach in La Liga. He is good at using the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Emery is a very diligent coach. He spends 12 hours studying video before each game. His tactical system places great emphasis on wing attacks and the speed of transition from defense to attack.
This style of play is somewhat similar to that of the Spaniards.
The difference is that the Spaniard mainly relied on the personal abilities of Zhao Yang and Asensio to break the deadlock, while Sevilla relied more on teamwork.
This time the Spaniards are going to challenge Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium, and it will definitely be a tough battle.
Now Espanyol is ranked third in the standings. Zhao Yang, the core of the team, has emerged from nowhere and dominates the top scorer list. His popularity is unprecedented.
However, Sevilla has been very successful in La Liga and European competitions in recent years, often wrestling with the top two Spanish leagues, and does not take the Spaniards who have been relegated all the time to heart.
Before the game, Sevilla president Castro said that the Spaniards play rough and always rely on fouls to win. Against the Spaniards, Sevilla is not worried about winning, but worried about players getting injured.
Sevilla midfielder Banega said: "The Spaniard's performance this season is really amazing. They defeated many powerful opponents and even drew with Atletico Madrid. However, now it is time to test the quality of the Spaniard's dark horse.
At that time, at the Pizjuan Stadium, if they lost within two goals, the Spaniards would be considered good."
Head coach Emery is relatively humble, but his humility sounds even more uncomfortable.
Emery said: "We cannot underestimate any opponent. The Spaniard's ability to reach this position must be unique, but we will not be afraid of anyone at the Pizjuan Stadium. Here, Real Madrid and Barcelona come
You have to bow your head and surrender."
Regarding Zhao Yang, Emery said that he would not send someone specifically to mark Zhao Yang. The team's victory depends on the overall performance, not the individual abilities of the players. Even if Messi and Ronaldo come to the Pizjuan Stadium, he will not send someone specifically to guard Zhao Yang.
Man marking.
Compared to the arrogance of his opponents, the Spaniards seemed calmer from top to bottom.
The Spanish president never likes to speak before games, but this is the first game after the winter break, and Chen Yansheng also spoke before the game to encourage the players.
"We are facing a very great team. They have very good players and can even have a place in the Champions League, but I believe the Spaniards will not be afraid of any enemy."
Espanyol coach Sergio said: "For us, they are a very demanding opponent. Our idea is to play as much as possible as we want."
As the core of the team and the protagonist of this game, Zhao Yang was much more confident in his speech.
"Sevilla is no longer as brave as it used to be this season. As long as we show the same form before the winter break, we have a chance to score points on the road, and we don't rule out getting three points."
The day before the game, the Spaniards arrived in Seville, the capital of the Andalucia autonomous region.
In Seville, Spaniard core Zhao Yang received a warm welcome from local fans.
These fans are not only Chinese fans, but also some are Real Betis fans.
Real Betis are Sevilla's rivals.
Betis' performance and status are not as good as Sevilla's. Their mission every season, in addition to defeating Sevilla, is to cheer for Sevilla's opponents.
After resting for two hours in the hotel, the Espanyol team went to the Pizjuan Stadium to play.
For other players, stepping on the field is just a routine matter, but for Zhao Yang, this stepping on the field is of great significance. He is eager to sign a useful football skill in Pizjuan, which can help him occupy the next battle.
Opportunity.
The Pizjuan Stadium is also a somewhat famous stadium, and there should be no shortage of golf facilities.
As soon as he walked into the stadium, Zhao Yang was surprised to hear:
"It is detected that the current location of the host meets the check-in conditions..."
"You can check in today..."
Zhao Daxi said silently in his heart, "Sign in."
next moment.
"Congratulations to the host, you successfully signed in to the Pizjuan Stadium and acquired the football skill 'lob shot'."
The system prompts sounded in Zhao Yang's ears calmly.
Buzz!!!
A burst of energy rushed into Zhao Yang's mind.
Suddenly, something inexplicable appeared in Zhao Yang's mind.
This is about observation skills and footwork for lob shots.
Zhao Yang was already used to the signing skill. He appeared to be as normal, walking towards the court while digesting the shooting skill he had acquired.
