The game against Villarreal made the Spaniard realize for the first time how weak his bench is.
If you want to maintain your current ranking, or get a spot in the Champions League, you must buy someone during the winter break! And you must buy them right away! Otherwise, there will be more and more injuries, and the game will be more difficult to play.
Now that there are less than 10 days until the winter transfer window closes, the Spaniard has no choice. As long as he is better than the current substitute, he can buy him for a while.
After the conditions were lowered, the Spaniards had more choices.
Two days after the game against Villarreal, the Spaniard finalized the first transfer.
Costa Rica center back Duarte, who previously played for Club Brugge in Belgium, is not tall but is a very offensive center back. In the past World Cup in Brazil, his header helped Costa Rica defeat the powerful Uruguay team.
.
Duarte's transfer fee is 2 million euros, which is a bit higher than the market price. However, because the Spaniard is in urgent need of recruiting players and the owner is Chinese, Club Brugge is determined not to let go. The Spaniard has no choice but to accept it.
The second player transferred was goalkeeper Arlaukis. Since the loan of substitute goalkeeper Bardi expired and he wanted to return to Inter Milan, and there was no suitable goalkeeper in the transfer market, the Spaniard loaned him from Watford in the Premier League.
Arlaukis.
Arlaukis has excellent one-on-one ability, has an excellent sense of smell, can pass key passes to initiate fast breaks, and has good experience. Spaniard scouts believe that he can even replace the current main goalkeeper Lopez.
Compared with center backs and goalkeepers, the Spaniard needs a midfielder with organizational skills.
At present, only Asensio is good at organizing in Espanyol, but Asensio is actually more aggressive and inexperienced. His role as the core organizer in Espanyol is actually to catch up.
Currently, the only midfielders with transfer rumors in the transfer market are Gundogan, Cesc Fabregas and Biglia, but none of these three look down on the Spaniard.
Biglia can still talk, but Fabregas and Gundogan are not even willing to talk to Espanyol. They directly say that they only want to go to a big club, and relegation teams like Espanyol are not considered.
There are transfer rumors for another midfielder outside the five major leagues, namely Belgian international Witsel from Zenit. However, the transfer fee for this player is too high, at least 30 million euros.
With the current financial resources and reputation of the Spaniards, such a player will definitely have no chance with them.
There were no suitable players in the transfer market, so the Spaniard turned his attention to his big brother Real Madrid.
The Spaniard is Barcelona's mortal enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Therefore, the relationship between the Spaniard and Real Madrid has always been very close. Otherwise, Real Madrid would not have put the talented new star Asensio in the Spaniard to train.
Although it is unscientific to catch a sheep and try to pull out its wool, the Spaniards have no choice. Real Madrid's winger Cheryshev has no place in Real Madrid, and Cheryshev himself wants to leave.
Real Madrid is a Galactico. There is no place in Real Madrid. It is definitely no problem to play as the main force in a small club.
The key is whether Real Madrid is still willing, or dares, to loan players to Espanyol.
It turns out that Real Madrid rented and sold players to the Spaniards in order to improve the Spaniards' strength and let them attack Barcelona.
Now the Spaniard has more points than Real Madrid and has become Real Madrid's rival for the championship. Real Madrid loaning players to the Spaniard is equivalent to tying up the enemy.
Therefore, after the Spaniard proposed to Real Madrid to rent Cheryshev, Real Madrid's answer was simple, not to rent, let alone sell.
The transfer was in full swing, and La Liga also ushered in two heavyweight contests.
In the 22nd round of the league, the top four teams in La Liga faced off, with Barcelona facing Atletico Madrid and Espanyol facing Real Madrid.
These two games are very crucial. The results of the games will affect the championship and the Champions League berth this season. The four teams are fully prepared for the game and no one dares to be careless.
Although according to the current standings, Atletico Madrid and Espanyol are ranked first and second, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are ranked third or fourth, but in terms of real strength, Barcelona and Real Madrid are stronger.
The winning and losing odds provided by Spinach before the game are obviously more optimistic about the old giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Spanish played away from home, and as usual, they probably gave up again.
But this time the Spaniard will never give up. Although the relationship between the Spaniard and Real Madrid is good, in the face of interests, this plastic relationship is definitely nothing.
In the last round against Villarreal, the Spaniard's two main players accumulated yellow cards and were suspended. Now that the suspension period has passed, Diop and Rocco can play against Real Madrid.
In the first round, the Spaniard faced Real Madrid at home and was beaten 6:2 by Real Madrid.
The Spaniard's two goals were scored by Zhao Yang, who was playing La Liga for the first time.
It can be said that the first round of the game against Real Madrid was the battle that made Zhao Yang famous. Without this game, there would be no Zhao Yang who is now famous all over the world.
There is no grudge between the Spaniard and Real Madrid, and there was no war of words before the game. The only discord was Cristiano Ronaldo.
As Real Madrid's number one star, Ronaldo scored five goals in the first round against the Spanish. Even if Zhao Yang scored 2 goals in that game, he could not cover up Ronaldo's shine.
However, since Zhao Yang was born, he has scored almost every game and has scored 24 goals so far. Neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi can stop Zhao Yang's brilliance.
Ronaldo currently has 16 goals, ranking fourth in the scorer list, 8 goals behind Zhao Yang.
If it were an ordinary player, he would probably give up on the top scorer, but Ronaldo was not. He was extremely competitive. Before the game against the Spaniard, Ronaldo deigned to challenge Zhao Yang.
"This is an interesting game. The Spaniards have more points than us. The game will definitely be more intense than the first round. Fans and reporters said that there is no suspense about the top scorer, but I don't think so. There are still more than ten rounds in the league.
, 8 goals difference is not out of reach and I like to seek new challenges. I know it will be tough but in my career I have always faced tough challenges. I want to be the top scorer
, I think I can, in the first round with the Spaniard, I scored five goals. If the miracle of this game can happen again, everything will be different!"
Zhao Yang naturally couldn't respond to Ronaldo's challenge. He told reporters at a press conference: "Ronaldo is a great player. He can create all miracles. The difference of 8 goals is really not big. I have never felt that the best player is Ronaldo."
The shooter is stable, and I must continue to score goals and continue to stay ahead. The championship may be difficult for us, and I hope to get the honor of top scorer. It not only belongs to me, but also to the team."
