Zhao Yang, who scored 25 goals, is definitely the top priority of defense.
Now there is even a saying in La Liga that if you guard Zhao Yang, you will be invincible.
Valencia is naturally also very aware of the danger of Zhao Yang, so they do not hesitate to let other players double-team Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang made a decisive breakthrough gesture, passed a defensive player, suddenly separated, handed it to Moreno, and then continued to advance.
The Valencia players were terrified of Zhao Yang to the core. Even if Zhao Yang passed the ball, two players would follow him.
Moreno made continuous fake moves on the wing and suddenly accelerated.
Valencia full-back Siqueira did not stumble, but his start was a step slow and fell behind Moreno.
After Moreno used his speed to get rid of Siqueira's marking, he went straight to the bottom line as quickly as possible.
Siqueira did not give up and chased after Moreno.
Moreno reached the bottom line, and Siqueira was just one step away from him.
Moreno had no other choice. He didn't even have time to observe the penalty area and could only pass the ball immediately.
As for whether his teammates can grab this spot, he no longer cares.
Zhao Yang also rushed to the penalty area at this moment, but there were at least two defensive players around him following closely.
Zhao Yang felt that he had little chance of grabbing the spot, so he suddenly ran diagonally and rushed forward.
Zhao Yang almost gave up the opportunity to directly attack the goal.
The defensive players didn't expect that only one player followed Zhao Yang and rushed to the front point.
At this moment, Moreno happened to pass the ball. Zhao Yang was one step faster than the defensive player. He jumped high and hit the ball. The ball went through a parabola, past the defensive player in the middle and past Asensio who was advancing forward.
Fly backward.
Zhao Yang suddenly stepped forward, attracting Valencia goalkeeper Domenech to the forward point.
Seeing the ball being tipped backwards by Zhao Yang, Domenech secretly yelled that it was wrong and quickly turned around and ran backwards.
Waiting for the next order is Caicedo.
He inserted into the penalty area from the wing.
Before it even reached the penalty area, the ball flew over.
The full-back was left behind, and Caicedo rushed up without any defender and headed the ball towards the back corner of the goal.
No matter how fast Domenech moved, the ball couldn't fly as fast. Before he reached the center of the goal, Caicedo shot.
Domenech could only jump up and save.
The ball swooped by!
Domenech missed the mark.
As his body fell, he heard the cheers of the Spaniards in his ears.
The ball went in!
2:2
Caicedo watched the ball hit the net and immediately turned and ran towards the stands with a roar.
Thousands of Espanyol fans who had been silent for more than half an hour also began to cheer.
Facing a desperate situation, Valencia had a strong fighting spirit but lacked sufficient resilience.
Otherwise, the strong Valencia would not be ranked so poorly.
When the two sides reached this point, the Spaniard suddenly scored a goal. The Valencia players were like empty sacks, and their morale suddenly leaked.
The score is still 2:2, but the morale and fighting spirit of both sides are completely different.
After the kick-off in the center circle, the Spaniard was high-spirited and ran actively, firmly controlling the midfield and constantly attacking the Valencia penalty area.
Valencia used to defend and counterattack, but now, Valencia only defends but has no ability to counterattack.
The Valencia fans in the stands were a little confused. Their players had been fighting with the Spaniards before, so why were they suddenly unable to fight back?
Head coach Neville on the sidelines was also confused.
This was not the first time that there had been a sudden power outage, but he had no way to change it. Substitutions and encouragement didn't work. He could only watch the team collapse.
Although the Spaniards had the upper hand, head coach Sergio was still nervous.
Morale and fighting spirit are illusory things. Once the Spaniard fails to score a goal, or the Valencians counterattack and score one, the direction of the game will be completely different.
"calm down!"
"Guaranteed success rate! Don't shoot too much!"
Sergio shouted anxiously, hoping that his players would score quickly and ensure they won the game.
Seeing that the game time had passed 75 minutes, Zhao Yang became a little anxious.
This game will definitely be watched by countless Chinese fans. There are only three days left before the Chinese traditional festival Spring Festival. Zhao Yang hopes to bring some fun to his compatriots instead of causing trouble.
Zhao Yang also wanted to score a goal, but Valencia defended him too tightly and it was difficult for him to find shooting opportunities. Therefore, Zhao Yang tried his best to attract the opponent's attention and pass the ball to his teammates.
Now that his teammates can't score a goal, Zhao Yang feels that he can't play like this and should increase the number of shots he takes.
In the 78th minute of the game, Zhao Yang completed his fourth shot of the game.
Zhao Yang hasn't had many shots recently, but he has only had 4 shots so far, which is unprecedented.
It was a long shot, but of high quality, forcing goalkeeper Domenech to make a difficult save.
Valencia's morale was low. Under the fierce attack of the Spaniard, the players only focused on defense and did not notice Zhao Yang's changes.
Three minutes later, Asensio ignored the fact that there were players around Zhao Yang defending closely and gave him a through ball.
Zhao Yang made a wall for teammate Perez.
Perez kept stopping the ball and then knocked it to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang followed up and hit the goal, but he was not strong enough and was hugged by the goalkeeper.
Valencia then fought back.
The Spaniard actively intercepted, and the midfielder stole the ball again. Cheryshev broke through from the wing and passed to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang took another shot from about thirty meters away, and the ball missed the goal post slightly.
Zhao Yang shot three times in a row, finally arousing the alertness of Valencia's defensive players.
When Zhao Yang, Asensio and Diop passed the ball continuously in front of Valencia's penalty area, the ball was passed to Zhao Yang's feet. When Zhao Yang wanted to shoot again, the Valencia defender who was well prepared kicked Zhao down from behind.
Positive.
In the 83rd minute, the Spaniard got a free kick opportunity.
The distance is pretty good, almost 267 meters.
The location is a bit off, a little inside the corner of the penalty area.
But it's also a good opportunity.
Zhao Yang and Asensio looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Asensio stood on one side of the ball and Zhao Yang prepared to take a free throw.
Taking advantage of Zhao Yang's reputation, goalkeeper Domenech was very nervous. When he directed the formation of the wall, he was very strict and even laid down someone behind the wall.
The eyes of fans from both sides were focused on Zhao Yang and Domenech.
This is a direct conversation between the two, and it is likely to directly determine the outcome of the game.
When the referee blew the whistle, Zhao Yang ran up to the ball and kicked the ball hard with his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc, bypassed the wall, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Domenech protected the side without the human wall. When he saw that Zhao Yang was shooting from behind the human wall, he quickly moved sideways and flew to save the ball.
Zhao Yang's shot had a tricky angle and the ball was fast. The ball had already flown into the net before Domenech even jumped up.
3:2
Zhao Yang's free kick helped the team reverse the score again.
