The Spaniard's first threatening attack was resolved by Eibar goalkeeper Lesgo.
Lithgow then threw the ball and started a fast break.
In this game, Eibar did not play conservatively. When Lisgow passed the ball, their full-back Jonka was still near the midline.
Jonka caught the ball and quickly drove the ball towards the baseline.
Full-back Alvarez did not retreat and directly flanked Jonca with the midfielder.
Jonca passed a cross to captain Dani Halke and passed forward Borja.
Borja was closely watched by the defender and had no chance to get the ball. He directly blocked the ball and passed it back to Dani.
Dani then passed to full-back Jonka.
The Spanish players thought that Jonka would continue to break through with the ball. Unexpectedly, Jonka received the ball and shot from a long distance.
This is a cold kick!
Espanyol goalkeeper Lopez was not prepared at all. The ball flew over and he thought it was a pass.
Fortunately, Jonca also has the footwork of a defender, and his shot flew close to the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
This shot shocked the fans at the scene.
Although winning or losing is not important, conceding the ball too early will have a great impact on the team's morale.
Eibar's shot this time did not affect the Spaniard's desire to attack.
Goalkeeper Lopez took the goal kick and kicked it forward. Zhao Yang, Asensio and Moreno moved forward to grab the spot.
Eibar's ability to compete for high balls was very good. Defender Pantic grabbed the spot and tipped the ball to his teammate Gan Guishi.
Gan Guishi caught the ball and turned around, preparing to move forward with the ball.
Suddenly, Diop rushed from behind and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball.
Diop is the Spaniard's defensive midfielder. He actually rushed to the frontcourt to steal the ball, which was completely unexpected by Gan Guishi.
This is what happens in a game where the outcome is not taken into consideration. Backcourt players dare to push forward irresponsibly.
Diop did not dribble the ball forward, but directly passed it to Asensio.
Asensio didn't stop the ball. He rubbed the ball with his outside instep, and the ball passed over the defender's head and passed to Zhao Yang who was penetrating forward.
This time the steal and pass were very smooth and concise, and Zhao Yang's movement was just right, the ball reached the player and he was not offside.
This time, Eibar goalkeeper Lesgaud did not predict it. When he attacked, Zhao Yang had already reached the line of the penalty area.
Lisgo did not hesitate and continued to move forward, compressing Zhao Yang's shooting angle.
Zhao Yang did not continue to move forward, but made a fake movement with his upper body to break through, pushed the ball with the arch of his foot, and pushed the ball to the far corner on the other side.
Lithgow was quite experienced. He was not deceived by Zhao Yang's fake move. He stretched out his foot to block the ball and blocked it from the baseline.
There was a sigh from the stands.
The ball went smoothly from steal to pass to Zhao Yang's forward shot. Unfortunately, the final shot was blocked by the goalkeeper.
The on-site commentators were full of praise for this attack and thought it was a good opportunity for Zhao Yang.
"If this goal is scored, the Golden Boot will be almost there!"
"I want to enter so much! You are young! You will be nervous at this critical moment!"
"The game has just begun. If the game is so open, there will definitely be a chance."
"It seems that Zhao Yang is a little tight, otherwise he should be able to hit the ball."
…
Zhao Yang himself was a little annoyed.
He rarely misses this kind of single-handed ball.
Asensio came over and patted Zhao Yang on the shoulder, "Nothing! There is still a chance!"
Zhao Yang smiled at Asensio and gave a thumbs up, "That's a great pass! Marco."
Asensio smiled: "Corner kick! Back point!"
Zhao Yang nodded, understanding what Asensio meant.
In this game, the opponent will definitely defend him closely and not let him catch the ball easily.
It is a good choice to throw away the defensive player and go to the back point.
Asensio took the corner kick, and Zhao Yang and three Spanish players went to the penalty area to grab the point.
After the two sides took up positions, Moreno suddenly moved forward, and Asensio immediately hit a low ball to find Moreno.
Moreno made a header and the ball flew straight back.
This is a corner kick routine from the Spaniard.
However, it was originally the full-back who took the back position, but this time, when Moreno moved forward, Zhao Yang also followed the move and then suddenly moved behind.
The central defender Pantic who was marking Zhao Yang was not deceived by Zhao Yang, but he failed to follow Zhao Yang's footsteps. The players in the penalty area were in chaos, and he was blocked just one step away.
Eibar paid great attention to Zhao Yang. The defender was out of position, and the full-back Jonka quickly put aside his defender and came to help defend Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang ran to the back spot and the ball flew over everyone's heads.
Eibar defender Jonka was a step too late. Zhao Yang reluctantly turned around in front of Jonka, jumped up, and headed the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Zhao Yang barely managed to hit the ball. Goalkeeper Lesgo returned to the back corner in time and blocked the ball with his body.
The speed of the ball was not fast to begin with, and when Lesgo blocked it, he had no time to exert force, and the ball just fell to Zhao Yang's feet again.
Zhao Yang subconsciously poked the ball with his toes, and the ball luckily rolled into the net from between Lisgo's legs.
1:0
Goalkeeper Lesgo's body was blocking the goal, and there were players in front of the goal. Zhao Yang subconsciously kicked the ball, but he didn't expect the ball to go in.
Zhao Yang was overjoyed, raised his arms, roared, turned around and ran towards the stands.
When the corner kick was taken, there were many people in the penalty area and it was very chaotic. Zhao Yang scored again from close range, and the fans did not see it at the first time.
Seeing Zhao Yang roaring and running wildly, the fans realized that it was a goal and immediately stood up and clapped and cheered.
The Spanish players in the penalty area also ran out to congratulate Zhao Yang. The fans were sure that Zhao Yang had scored the goal, and the fans in the audience began to shout Zhao Yang's name.
The bench and coaching bench were also ignited by the goal.
The substitute players and assistant coaches all ran out, turned around and raised their arms toward the stands and shouted.
The commentators in the commentary box, regardless of their nationality, were all shouting Zhao Yang's name.
But the shouts in the stands were so loud that they couldn't even hear themselves.
"Zhao Yang! The 40th goal! Zhao Yang scored the 40th league goal! Currently, Suarez has not scored yet, and Zhao Yang is three goals ahead of the second shooter! He is still away from his first La Liga golden boot.
83 minutes…”
"Go in! Go in! Two great opportunities, but they didn't go in! Fortunately, Zhao Yang was very lucky today! The ball bounced to his feet."
"The opening 7 minutes! Zhao Yang scored the 40th goal! Both sides did not fight defensively. This will be an offensive battle! I hope Zhao Yang seizes the opportunity! Suarez will never give up!"
…
In the VIP box
Spanish President Chen Yansheng has been absent-mindedly talking to President Eibar. He is very worried about Zhao Yang.
Chen Yansheng was even more nervous than Zhao Yang.
With this top scorer, Zhao Yang and the Spaniard will get more attention and have more fans in China.
In this era of eyeball economy, this means money rolling in.
