After Asensio scored, he was very happy. He imitated Cristiano Ronaldo, jumped up and spun around in circles, and made a fist-clenching gesture to celebrate.
“goalgoalgoal…”
"Asensio... Asensio... Asensio..."
The fans applauded and cheered warmly in the stands.
This goal was very crucial. Seeing Asensio make a penalty despite the pressure, the Spanish players were very excited and ran over to hug Asensio.
Moyes' face was gloomy. He never expected that such a situation would happen as soon as the first half was over.
It's nothing more than conceding a goal, but one player is missing, which makes the second half difficult.
The strength of Espanyol and Real Sociedad is almost the same. Real Sociedad, with one less player, is basically one level behind Espanyol.
That damn Chinese guy shouldn't have been given a chance.
Why is Pardo, this idiot, allowed to enter the penalty area?!
Didn't he hear what I said?
On one side, Moyes was indignant, while on the other side, Sergio almost jumped with excitement.
He shook his fist fiercely, secretly glad that he had made this substitution adjustment.
This Zhao Yang has really good abilities, and he is also a blessed player who can bring positive changes to the team every time he plays.
The new boss is also a blind cat who encountered a dead rat. He hired an amateur player from Segunda C, well, Segunda B, and he turned out to be so useful.
In two rounds of La Liga, two goals were scored and one penalty was awarded.
This is still a substitute appearance.
Sergio began to doubt the information he had received. Was he really just an amateur player six months ago?
In the VIP box, Real Sociedad president Aperibe was so angry that he almost dropped his glass.
The great situation was almost lost in the last three minutes.
The new Chinese guy named Heyang made such a bold breakthrough, why not give him a little bit of strength to make him calm down?
Taking a deep breath, Aperiwe couldn't help but said to Chen Yansheng: "Zhao... What Yang is it? How did you dig up such a monster?"
Chen Yansheng showed a proud smile and said: "It didn't take much effort. It was just a warm-up match between us and St. Andrew's. I saw that this compatriot has spirituality in playing football. If he cultivates it, he will have a great future, so he asked the St. Andrew's team
Get him over here."
Aperive said in surprise: "Is it that simple?"
Chen Yansheng smiled and said: "I am an outsider in the football circle. This transfer is purely due to good luck."
This is a bit like Versailles.
Aperive snorted and didn't want to talk to Chen Yansheng anymore.
On the field, after the Espanyol team celebrated, Real Sociedad kicked off from the center circle and the game continued.
After regaining a goal, the opponent also sent off a man. The Espanyol team was in high spirits and pressed hard on Real Sociedad to see if they could get another goal back in the last minute.
However, there was not much time left. The Espanyol team stole the ball and shot a long shot away. Real Sociedad took a goal kick, and then the referee Pedro blew the whistle to end the first half.
When they came off the field, the Real Sociedad players were crestfallen and in a very low mood, while the Espanyol players held their heads high and were in high spirits, as if they were the leading side.
Espanyol fans also applauded the players and were full of confidence in the second half of the game.
The entrance to the visiting team's locker room.
Head coach Sergio shook hands with the returning players one by one. When Zhao Yang and Asensio arrived, Sergio gave them both a hug.
Patting Zhao Yang's thick back, Sergio said emotionally: "You saved the team."
Zhao Yang said modestly: "This is the result of the cooperation of the whole team. Asensio has a greater role than me."
Sergio let go of Zhao Yang, hugged Asensio, and said: "Marco, you performed like a man in the end, taking penalty kicks very steadily. In the second half, it will be up to you and Zhao Yang to open up the situation.
"
Asensio smiled slightly and said, "How difficult is it to beat Real Sociedad without one player? Just wait and see, we will definitely reverse the situation in the second half."
Sergio smiled and said: "Okay, you need such confidence."
Everyone went to the locker room to get ready. Sergio briefly analyzed the problems that occurred in the first half of the game with the players, and made some arrangements for the second half of the game before returning to the coaching lounge to rest.
After Sergio left, the atmosphere in the locker room immediately became lively, and everyone was discussing Zhao Yang's passing moves in the first half.
Some teammates even asked Zhao Yang directly, "How did you do that crotch-piercing move?"
Zhao Yang smiled and said, "I did it subconsciously at that time. If you ask me how I did it, I can't understand it and I can't remember it."
Although Zhao Yang's statement is vague, it makes sense. The game is so fast-paced that it is indeed difficult for players to remember their actions.
Asensio is usually a little cold. After he came back, his teammates kept talking about Zhao Yang, but no one talked about Asensio's goal, but no one talked to Asensio.
Asensio didn't talk to anyone else, just sat in his seat and listened to music with headphones on.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. The referee blew the whistle, and the players all filed out of the locker room and onto the court again.
The Espanyol team made no substitutions, while Real Sociedad removed striker Vela and replaced midfielder Jonas to strengthen defense.
After the start of the second half, the Espanyol team had a numerical advantage and attacked aggressively, speeding up the pace of the game.
Real Sociedad, except forward Jonasta, who is in front, and Bruma is behind him, everyone else returns to the midfield to defend.
In the third minute of the second half, Zhao Yang got the ball in the frontcourt, and two players came to attack him. Zhao Yang made a fake move to change direction to the left, suddenly accelerated, and ran between the two players.
The players of Real Sociedad were deceived immediately, but they reacted very quickly. One stretched out his hand to pull, and the other stretched out his foot to hook.
Zhao Yang was dragged and pulled, staggering and falling on the turf.
Referee Pedro blew the whistle again and gave the Espanyol a direct free kick.
This free kick is about thirty meters away from the goal. It can be passed or shot directly.
Asensio came to the ball, thought for a while, turned to Zhao Yang and said: "How much hope do you have of scoring a free kick from this position?"
Zhao Yang has never taken a free kick in La Liga, but in training, he often practices with goalkeepers Baldi and Paul, and he has a general understanding of the level of La Liga goalkeepers, but the position of this free kick is a little far away.
"Absolutely half and a half." Zhao Yang replied. In fact, Zhao Yang was exaggerating a bit. In this position, his shooting rate was only 30%.
"Fifty percent?" Asensio took a breath and said, "Then it's up to you."
