At the end of the game, the Spaniard defeated Sevilla 4:2 away from home.
After the whistle blew, Sevilla was still a little confused.
Lost? We lost to Espanyol? Or at home?
The people of Sevilla cannot accept this fact.
Sevilla fans were unhappy to see the Spaniard cheering for joy in the Pizjuan Stadium.
A bunch of nouveau riche just got lucky and won once? What a thrill.
The Sevilla fans who didn't leave couldn't help but booed the Espanyol team.
But the Spaniards felt very happy after the victory. The boos from the Sevilla fans not only did not disgust the Spaniards, but instead became a stimulant for them. The Spaniards celebrated even more enthusiastically.
With two goals and one assist, Zhao Yang is the well-deserved protagonist of this game.
Zhao Yang is now very popular in La Liga, and news related to him has received great attention.
After the game, reporters also found Zhao Yang and conducted on-site interviews with him.
After defeating Sevilla in an away game, which had not won in the past two years, Zhao Yang was in a good mood. He basically answered all the reporters' questions and didn't even mind saying a few more words.
After the interview ended, Zhao Yang returned to the locker room, took a shower, and was called by head coach Sergio to attend the post-match press conference.
At the press conference, Savilla coach Emery was still a little unconvinced. He only thought that Sevilla was careless and underestimated the enemy, but did not think that the Spaniard was really stronger than Sevilla.
But Emery was full of praise for Zhao Yang, believing that Zhao Yang already has the potential to become a superstar. If he continues to grow like this, his future will be unlimited.
Emery's praise for Zhao Yang turned into ridicule in the ears of Spanish head coach Sergio.
Sergio thought this was Emery saying that he won only because Zhao Yang played well.
This is a fact, and Sergio admitted it in his heart, but he was still very unhappy and couldn't help but mock Emery, implying that Sevilla's current performance is so poor because of Emery's incompetence.
After the press conference, the Spaniard rested for a night in Seville and returned home early the next morning.
The 17th round of La Liga games were all played the next day, and the rankings of the top four and bottom four in the standings have not changed for the time being.
As a mid-table team, because Celta lost to Bilbao, their ranking was replaced by Villarreal, and Athletic Bilbao also took a step further and entered the European theater.
The league is approaching the halfway mark, and competition for the standings is fierce, and the competition for the scorer's list is even more intense.
In this round, the top four players in the scorer list except Neymar did not score a goal. Zhao Yang, Suarez, and Ronaldo all scored twice. Among them, Suarez only scored two fewer goals than Zhao Yang, ranking first in the scorer list.
It may change ownership at any time.
After returning from Seville, the Espanyol team didn't even take a half-day off. The team started training directly to prepare for the highlight of the next round, the Barcelona Derby.
In previous seasons, the Spaniard also had two goals every season, one was to avoid relegation, and the other was to defeat Barcelona.
Espanyol and Barcelona are the oldest derby rivals in La Liga. Their derby has been staged for 115 years. Their grudges have been buried since the beginning of the team's establishment.
When Barcelona was founded, it was not founded by Catalan natives, but by Juan Gambo, a Catalan Swiss.
The Espanyol team was established by the local Spaniards and directly used the name "Espanyol". The Espanyol team's emblem is also marked with a crown to show orthodoxy.
The political leanings of the two teams are completely opposite.
From the beginning, Barcelona held high the banner of Catalan independence, while the Spaniards began to fall to the rule of Madrid early. In the 1920s, the chaotic internal affairs of Spain polarized the Catalan region and the royal government.
The conflict between the two teams is also clear.
Barcelona has gradually developed in terms of economic strength due to its good local mass base, and the Spaniards have also fully developed by taking the upper-level route. However, the Spaniards with more local players rarely have the support of die-hard fans in Barcelona.
Although Barcelona has appeared more as a multinational force in recent years, its local support in Barcelona has only increased.
The Spaniard has always been at an absolute disadvantage against Barcelona. The two teams have met 178 times in history, 162 of which were La Liga games. The Spaniard has 34 wins, 35 draws and 93 losses, scoring 174 goals and conceding 305 goals.
Before this game, they had not defeated Barcelona for 6 consecutive years.
In the last 7 meetings between the two teams, the Spaniards not only lost all of them, but also only scored 1 goal in total.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, not to mention that the Espanyol team has been suppressed by Barcelona for a long time.
This feeling of suffocation has made the anger in the hearts of both Spaniard players and fans reach its peak.
What makes the Espanyol even more annoying is that Barcelona does not take the Espanyol seriously.
The favorite saying of Real Madrid fans is: Barcelona only has Real Madrid in its eyes, and Real Madrid only has the whole world in its eyes.
What Barcelona fans like to say is: Spaniards only have Barcelona in their eyes, and Barcelona’s only opponent is Real Madrid.
For Barcelona, which is known as the Cosmos Team and the Art Team, and has won all the honors in football, the Spaniards, who have never won a La Liga championship, are just an annoying, poor and unruly neighbor.
The Spaniards have had strange luck this season.
Last time we played three league games with Levante in the Copa del Rey, and this time we have to play three games with Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.
After being drawn against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, the Espanyol team's goal was secretly set: against Barcelona, they must win at least one victory.
In the eyes of Espanyol fans, this season's Espanyol can be called one of the strongest in history, ranking fourth in the league. Striker Zhao Yang came out of the blue, beating the four kings of Barcelona and Real Madrid. This is the ultimate revenge.
Good time.
If Barcelona can't win four times this season, then we don't know how long it will be before we win next time.
The Spaniard's combat effectiveness and fighting spirit this season are indeed different from previous years, but it is not easy to take revenge. Barcelona is no longer invincible in the Guardiola era, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They are still the leader of La Liga.
The favorite to win the Champions League.
What worries the Spaniards even more is that Messi, who was previously injured and absent, is back.
This is a true genius in world football.
A superstar who has great potential to win the world championship.
Messi scored 13 goals in the Catalan derby and is the top scorer in history.
Messi scored a hat trick and a big four against Espanyol, and has always been the master of the Catalan derby.
With Messi returning like this, coupled with Suarez who scored 15 goals in the league, and Neymar who scored 14 goals, I am afraid that any team will have its soul trembled against them.
