Four goals were scored at home, which the players of the Espanyol B team could not tolerate.
After the St. Andrew's players celebrated, the Spaniards launched their fiercest attack on St. Andrew's.
Time is running out and it would be unwise for St. Andrew's team to play against Espanyol B team now.
Head coach Pablo very wisely replaced the defensive midfielder and played defensive counterattack.
In the second half, St. Andrew's has not made any substitutions.
When the Spaniard's attack was at its strongest, Pablo showed the experience and sophistication of a Spanish second division coach.
He made three slow substitutions, disrupting the Spaniard's rhythm and preventing the Spaniard's offense from continuing.
But what most affected the Spaniard's determination was the emerging St. Andrew's front three.
Santiago has good shooting skills, Zhao Yang is good at breaking through, and captain Verano has a good way of organizing passes. With the three of them in the frontcourt, the Spaniards cannot press the whole team, and they must consider the opponent's counterattack.
In the 85th minute of the game, the Spaniard took a corner kick and Pino's header hit the crossbar. Then St. Andrew launched a counterattack.
Verano made a long pass, Santiago headed back, and Zhao Yang received the ball and drove straight in.
The Spaniard's deep-lying central defender had to pay the price of a yellow card to prevent Zhao Yang's breakthrough.
Verano generously allowed Zhao Yang to take the free kick.
The Spaniards were a little nervous and formed a human wall of eight people.
However, this time the free kick was far away from the goal, and Zhao Yang's falling leaf chop was hit by goalkeeper Lopez with both fists.
St. Andrew's counterattack made the Spaniard even more alarmed. The two central defenders could only stay in the backcourt and did not dare to assist.
Seeing that the game entered stoppage time, the Spaniards no longer cared about the opponent's counterattack, and they all pressed through the center line in a desperate attempt.
Obviously, luck was not on the Spaniard's side. In the first minute of stoppage time, Irawan's long shot hit the defender and bounced out.
Verano fell to the ground and passed the ball to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang took the ball and dunked it past a player who was attacking him.
Then a "fried meatball" passed another attacking player.
Just when everyone thought Zhao Yang would continue dribbling the ball forward, Zhao Yang looked up at the opposite half and suddenly took a lob.
When Zhao Yang looked up, Espanyol goalkeeper Lopez had a bad feeling because he was standing too far forward.
However, Zhao Yang's breakthrough with the ball was too strong. Everyone thought he was going to break through and waste some time. Unexpectedly, at this time, he took a lob.
Lopez was heartbroken and stepped back desperately, praying that Zhao Yang's hanging door was unreliable and looking to see if there was any chance to block his opponent's hanging door.
An error occurred while he was busy. When Lopez retreated, his foot hit the turf shoveled by the player just now and he fell to the ground.
Zhao Yang's lob shot was not strong enough and landed in the penalty area. If Lopez had not fallen, he would have had a chance to catch the ball.
But now, everyone can only watch the ball bounce into the net.
5:3
Zhao Yang fired a lob from nearly 50 meters, breaking through the gate of Espanyol B team for the fifth time.
This is his third goal of the game.
Three games, two hat tricks.
Zhao Yang himself did not expect that the ball could be scored.
He saw that the goalkeeper was too far away from the goal, so he tried a lob. Unexpectedly, the goalkeeper fell and his long-range lob was successful.
Seeing the ball hit the net and sealing the victory, Zhao Yang excitedly took off his jersey, ran to the stands waving, climbed up the guardrail, and waved his jersey at the fans.
"Zhao Yang Zhao Yang...Zhao Yang Zhao Yang..."
St. Andrew's fans stood up and chanted Zhao Yang's name in unison. Some fans even took off their jerseys, went shirtless in the cold wind, and waved along with Zhao Yang.
Spaniards love football, like to watch exciting games, and like stars with outstanding skills, even if they are opponents.
When Zhao Yang was celebrating, Espanyol fans also stood up and applauded with the St. Andrew fans to express their gratitude to this genius who provided them with a wonderful goal.
Suddenly Zhao Yang spotted a familiar face in the audience.
A Chinese with a very recognizable big face, this is the compatriot who took me to the Espanyol home court that day. I didn’t expect that he would also come to watch the game today.
Is he here to support me?
Zhao Yang smiled and waved his hand towards the big pie face, "Thank you for that day. My name is Zhao Yang."
Boss Chen's name is Chen Yansheng, a well-known toy merchant in Zhejiang Province. This time he came to Spain to acquire the Espanyol Club. Because the Spaniards were demanding high prices, the negotiations did not go smoothly.
Seeing Zhao Yang waving hello to him, Chen Yansheng stood up happily and waved to Zhao Yang, although he couldn't hear what Zhao Yang was saying.
In this game, Chen Yansheng witnessed Zhao Yang's miraculous performance. Such a talent can only play in the fourth-level semi-professional league in Spain.
Chen Yansheng was a little sad. He felt that he should buy the Spaniard, even if he paid a little more.
Chinese talents like Zhao Yang should have a higher stage instead of wasting time and talent in the low-level league of the Spanish Third Division.
Chen Yansheng still wanted to talk to Zhao Yang, but he was a practical businessman and felt that he should not give this young man any more ideas before he won the Espanyol club.
Let him hone his skills in the Spanish Third Division first. When I win the Espanyol club, I will let the whole world know your name. I will let the whole world cheer your name, Zhao Yang! Come on.
After Zhao Yang scored, the outcome of the game was basically decided.
However, the players of Espanyol B team also knew that the big boss was watching them from the stands, so they did not give up during stoppage time and continued to attack.
The St. Andrew's players felt that they had a chance to win, but they were a little careless. In the last minute of stoppage time, Espanyol B team pulled a goal back.
In the 94th minute, the final whistle finally sounded. In the end, St. Andrew's team defeated the powerful Espanyol B team 5:4 in the away game and won three consecutive victories.
This victory allowed St. Andrew's team to move further up the standings. They were ranked fourth and entered the play-off range.
This game was a goal battle, with a total of 9 goals scored, all of them exciting.
Among them, Zhao Yang became the well-deserved protagonist of this game. His brilliance surpassed everyone, including the talented players of Espanyol B team.
Maybe these players from Espanyol's B team will be able to play in La Liga next year, but today, they all have to bow before Zhao Yang.
Although the Espanyol B team lost today, when they left the field, the Espanyol fans still applauded them and thanked them for contributing to a wonderful game.
