The Spaniard's on-field training at the Pizjuan Stadium also attracted the attention of many Sevilla fans.
In past home games, Sevilla fans did not take the Spaniard to heart.
This is normal, the Espanyol team's performance at the Pizjuan Stadium is very poor, and they have not scored a point here in the past three seasons.
But things are different now. The Espanyol team is performing so well and is simply a dark horse among dark horses.
Sevilla fans want to see for themselves why Espanyol has become so good.
Obviously, Sevilla fans are disappointed.
The Spanish twin stars Zhao Yang and Asensio were just warming up and did not show off their superb skills.
On the night when the Espanyol team arrived in Seville, La Liga played two league games.
Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 3:1, and Malaga beat Levante 1:0 away from home.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, taking the number of league goals to 14, second only to Zhao Yang and Neymar.
Once La Liga's former top scorer shows off his power, his scoring speed is no worse than Zhao Yang's.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return to form has made the competition for La Liga's top scorer even more intense.
The match between Sevilla and Espanyol is on Wednesday.
At 7:30 in the evening, the Pizjuan Stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 people, was packed.
Fans from both sides sang team songs to welcome their players.
Sevilla's starting 11 today are goalkeeper Rico, four defenders Famiano, Rami, Kroger and Terermo; five midfielders: Banega, Chris, Ibora, Kono
Pu, Vitolo; lone striker Immobile.
The 11 players starting today for the Espanyol team are goalkeeper Paul, four defenders Roco, Alvaro, Lopez and Duarte; four midfielders: Asensio, Diop, Sanchez, Perez. Double forward: Zhao
Yang and Caicedo.
Facing a strong enemy today, the biggest good news for the Spaniard is the return of Asensio from injury.
After the players from both sides shook hands and took photos, the captains exchanged team flags and emblems, and the game officially kicked off.
The first to kick off was the visiting team Espanyol.
Espanyol's record at the Pizjuan Stadium was too poor.
After the kick-off, the players played very cautiously.
After almost seven or eight kicks, when most of Sevilla's players were forced into their own half, Sanchez made a long pass to Zhao Yang who was in front.
Zhao Yang still grabbed the spot despite being flanked by two defensive players.
It must be difficult to handle the ball well in this situation.
Zhao Yang wanted to pass to Caicedo, but the pass was not in place.
What Caicedo got was a half-goal chance.
Caicedo wanted to pass the header to Asensio, but it was destroyed by Sevilla midfielder Chris' header.
The ball flew out of bounds.
The Spaniard served a throw-in. Surrounded by Sevilla's heavy troops, Asensio failed to catch the ball and the ball was intercepted.
Sevilla quickly moved with a big foot, hit the ball to the other side, and launched a quick attack.
Full-back Famiano got the ball and headed towards the baseline along the wing.
Alvaro failed to intercept on the wing, and Famiano reached the bottom line and crossed into the penalty area.
Sevilla's forwards and midfielders move forward very quickly.
When Famiano passed the ball, not only did Immobile reach the small penalty area, but the two midfielders also reached the edge of the large penalty area.
Spanish defender Roco was in a good position and shot faster. He got ahead of Immobile and destroyed the ball out of the baseline with a kick.
Sevilla got a corner kick opportunity at the beginning.
Banega's corner kick went into the penalty area, causing a scuffle between the two sides. In the end, the ball was knocked out of the baseline by a Sevilla player.
The Sevilla attack was interrupted and the Spaniards got a chance to breathe.
Goalkeeper Paul did not take a big shot and passed the ball to his defender Rocco.
Rocco didn't wait for his opponent to press forward and passed the ball directly to Asensio, allowing Asensio to organize the attack.
Asensio has just been loaned to Espanyol and has no respect for Sevilla.
Asensio dribbled the ball forward, and when Sevilla midfielder Croger came to press him, he didn't panic at all.
It wasn't until Krodger rushed within two meters that he couldn't help but stretch his feet to steal. Asensio dunked and flicked, got rid of Krodger and continued to move forward.
Asensio's extraordinary performance boosted morale, and the Spanish fans at the scene applauded.
Sevilla's game was playing at a fast pace. Asensio passed a player and three players came around him.
Asensio didn't dare to push the ball forward and quickly passed the ball to Perez.
Perez saw Zhao Yang retreating for the ball and immediately passed the ball to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang and Asensio are Sevilla's key targets.
Zhao Yang retreated to ask for the ball, and Sevilla midfielder Chris followed him.
The ball was passed, and Chris quickly approached Zhao Yang, not wanting Zhao Yang to turn around.
Chris originally thought that Zhao Yang would stop the ball first and then consider getting rid of it.
However, Zhao Yang turned his back to the defensive player and made a fake move without stopping the ball, letting the ball pass under his crotch. The ball passed by and happened to pass through Chris' crotch.
Zhao Yang turned around and accelerated quickly to chase the ball.
Chris was careless and let Zhao Yang penetrate his crotch.
But Chris is no ordinary person.
Seeing Zhao Yang turn around and speed up, he immediately stretched out his hand and gave Zhao Yang a hand.
Chris was very experienced. He didn't hold on. He just pulled Zhao Yang and let go in order to slow down Zhao Yang's speed.
The referee glanced at Chris and found that Zhao Yang had only slowed down but did not fall, so he did not blow the whistle.
Originally, Zhao Yang was already prepared to chase the ball after wearing his crotch based on the speed of the ball.
But Chris's pull caused Zhao Yang to lose the chance to get the ball.
Zhao Yang chased him to the edge of the penalty area, and goalkeeper Rico had already come out, flying to save the ball under him.
In the first five minutes, both sides got used to the rhythm and tested their opponents' strengths and weaknesses.
The Spaniards felt the strength of Sevilla, and Sevilla also discovered the excellence of Asensio and Zhao Yang.
Sevilla has always played a fast and whirlwind style of play. After goalkeeper Rico got the ball, he did not throw the ball to attack. After getting up, he passed a big kick to the frontcourt.
Rico didn't just shoot blindly, he hit the ball directly behind the Spanish defender.
This is when the goalkeeper directly looks for his forward and launches a quick counterattack.
Immobile is an Italian forward who has been the top scorer in Serie A for two consecutive years.
In this summer transfer season, Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla Football Club reached an agreement, and Immobile was loaned to Sevilla Football Club for one year.
Immobile is best at grabbing points in front of the goal. His starting speed within ten meters is extremely fast, and ordinary defenders cannot keep up with him.
Goalkeeper Rico's pass was obviously prepared and trained.
