When Rico saw Zhao Yang take off, he stepped back as fast as possible without hesitation.
There was no one in front of Zhao Yang, so it goes without saying what he was doing. It must be a hanging door.
Rico retreated slowly, but it was too late.
When the ball started to fall, Rico arrived in the small penalty area.
Rico jumped up in despair, trying to hit the ball out!
But he tried his best and never touched the ball.
The ball flew straight over his head and into the goal.
3:2
Zhao Yang made another lob to help the Spaniard take the lead again.
Seeing the ball hit the net, Zhao Yang raised his arms and shouted, "Ni, the whole audience."
The fans of the home team were silent and all looked sideways.
This was a very unexpected goal. The fans of the away team were surprised and happy. They all jumped up, shouted and worshiped Zhao Yang.
"Goal! Zhao Yang! Another goal! Another lob! Another Zhao Yang... this one is a long-range lob! The distance is about thirty-five meters away..."
The on-site commentator He Wei was also inexplicably excited. He had never underestimated Zhao Yang, but Zhao Yang could bring him bigger surprises every time.
Just like these two lob shots, Zhao Yang has never used them before. Is this a new skill developed?
If true, then Zhao Yang's potential is too great, because Zhao Yang has often unlocked new skills since commentating on Zhao Yang's games.
What's even more surprising is that every skill is used very skillfully, as if it has been practiced for many years.
If it weren't for his amazing talent, even if Zhao Yang practiced his skills without eating or sleeping, he probably wouldn't be able to reach this level.
Seeing the Spaniard celebrating wildly, Sevilla head coach Emery couldn't help but pat his forehead.
This Zhao Yang is really disappointing.
Just shoot wherever you go! The key is that the shot is so accurate.
Is this good talent or just good luck?
No matter which one it is, it's a headache.
Including stoppage time, there are only 15 minutes left in the game.
Whether it's a tie or a lead, there's still time.
But if Zhao Yang can't solve this problem, then everything will be in vain.
Emery's brain was running at high speed, looking for ways to deal with Zhao Yang.
But judging from this shot, it's useless even if someone is sent to follow closely.
From the start to the completion of Zhao Yang's lob shot, it only took a few seconds, and the defender could not stop it at all.
Emery has to admit that Zhao Yang is no longer an ordinary player, he is a star!
It's impossible to keep a close eye on a star like this. At best, he'll be barely able to perform.
After figuring this out, Emery's confusion was gone.
He immediately called Chris over and asked him to follow Zhao Yang and not let him get the ball or shoot.
Seeing the embarrassment on Chris's face, Emery patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just try your best!"
After hearing this, Chris felt much better. He really didn't have the confidence to prevent Zhao Yang from dying. He didn't want to take the blame in the end.
The game starts again.
Sevilla no longer has the calmness it had before.
After all, there is not much time left. Even if Sevilla is stronger than the Spanish, it will be very difficult to score a goal in such a short time.
Sevilla once again resorted to pressing tactics.
It's just that it used to be a full-court press, but now it's just a frontcourt press.
Even if it is a frontcourt press, with a high forward like Llorente, coupled with his reduced physical fitness and much slower speed, the Spaniard can pass the ball out calmly.
The effect of pressing was greatly reduced, and Sevilla could only create scoring opportunities through positional warfare.
With everyone in position, it would be very difficult for Sevilla to reach the Spaniard's penalty area through passing and cutting.
When Zhao Yang and Asensio didn't come, the Espanyol team was not a weakling. It ranked 11th in the league and could only be considered a team in the middle or lower reaches.
Teams like this are all teams with characteristics. The characteristics of the Spaniard are that they dare to foul and play fiercely.
Last season Espanyol was the team with the most fouls in La Liga.
Sevilla's cross-cutting was obviously not good enough when faced with a team that was prone to foul play and a team that didn't have much desire to attack and shrink its formation.
At this time, Llorente's role was revealed.
With a high center forward as the fulcrum, his header transfer can allow Sevilla to directly cooperate in the Spaniard's defensive third zone, and even directly create shooting opportunities.
Sevilla didn't go down from the wing and directly kicked into the penalty area.
This method of play is simple and crude, without much technical content, but the effect is quite good.
The two central defenders of the Spaniard can be regarded as experienced old defenders with rich experience. However, they are not tall. Sevilla's crosses are often grabbed by Llorente, creating offensive opportunities.
Sevilla stormed for seven or eight minutes but never created a good shooting opportunity. In the 83rd minute, Sevilla midfielder Banega broke away from the defense and passed the ball. Under the cover of Llorente, Gameiro grabbed the ball.
The ball was deflected when the ball was touched.
Immobile broke into the small penalty area and fell to the ground without any defense. Unfortunately, the ball missed the goal post slightly.
Although the ball was not scored, this attack greatly boosted Sevilla's morale.
Sevilla then launched a more violent attack.
One minute later, Sevilla took a corner kick and Llorente rushed for a header, but due to interference from the defender, the ball went over the crossbar.
In the 87th minute, Immobile and Llorente kicked the wall and broke into the left side of the penalty area. Goalkeeper Paul had to move to the right to block Immobile's shot angle.
Because Mobile was followed by a defensive player and the angle of his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, he gave up the shot and passed it crosswise to the center of the penalty area.
The core of Sevilla's midfield moved forward at high speed to the edge of the small penalty area and pushed into the empty goal while being double-teamed by three Spanish players.
This was an inevitable chance, but Banega hit the ball on the post.
Seeing the ball bounce out, Banega squatted down in frustration and hammered the turf hard.
Time is running out, but Sevilla continues to miss good opportunities. The fans at the Pizjuan Stadium are becoming more and more panicked. They seem to have a premonition of failure.
Of course, the Spaniards did not only defend but not attack, it was just that the Sevillaans were too aggressive and they were always waiting for their opponents to find a flaw.
After continuously missing good opportunities, the Sevillans finally made a mistake.
Sevilla made continuous short passes in front of the Spaniard's penalty area, and the ball was tackled by Diop and passed to Asensio.
Asensio stopped the ball with his left foot and made a long diagonal pass to Moreno with his right foot. Moreno dribbled the ball along the wing at high speed into Sevilla's half.
Zhao Yang and Caicedo quickly followed up from the center and side.
At this moment, Sevilla's troops are pressing forward, and only two central defenders are left to defend.
Moreno crossed the middle to find Zhao Yang without any defense.
Zhao Yang saw the two central defenders following closely, so he pretended to shoot, but missed the ball.
Both central defenders were deceived, goalkeeper Rico was also shaken, and Caicedo, who was in the back post without any defender, pushed his shot into the near corner and into the net.
4:2
The three forwards took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, and Caicedo sealed the victory.
For the first time in two years, the Espanyol team captured the Pizjuan Stadium.
