The game started again, and the momentum of the host and guest sides was completely different.
The Espanyol team, playing away from home, is full of confidence and momentum.
Real Sociedad, which plays at home, has lost its reputation as a gangster, and is now as sluggish as if it is recovering from a serious illness.
Zhao Yang reversed the direction of the game when he came on the court and gained the trust of his teammates as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Zhao Yang also attracted the hatred of Royal Sociedad as quickly as possible.
Next, as long as Zhao Yang gets the ball, two players will come over to attack him, and the foul will be quite big.
Under this kind of defensive intensity, Zhao Yang immediately revealed his weaknesses of poor passing and poor awareness, and the number of interceptions increased sharply.
The Espanyol players realized this problem and passed fewer passes to Zhao Yang and passed more balls to Asensio, Caicedo and Moreno.
Real Sociedad has one less person to fight and its strength is greatly reduced. No matter what tactics they adopt, passivity on the scene is inevitable.
In the 60th minute of the game, Caicedo picked up the ball from the wing, turned around and brushed past the full-back who came up to steal, reached the bottom line at high speed, and passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, looking for Asensio.
Asensio didn't stop the ball and shot into the far corner of the goal.
Luli was so frightened that he quickly retreated, trying to protect the far corner, but he was too late. Unfortunately, Asensio's shot hit the crossbar and bounced out.
Although the ball didn't go in, the shot was really exciting.
Zhao Yang, who was reduced to a close spectator, also had to lament that it was no accident that Asensio was valued by Real Madrid. This kind of footwork is not something ordinary players can do.
The game was not over. After the ball bounced out, Real Sociedad defender Mikel wanted to turn around and kick the ball out, but he missed the kick and the ball leaked directly to Spanish forward Moreno.
How could Moreno let go of this gift package? He moved horizontally, adjusted his steps, and fired a shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball flew into the net against the turf.
3:3
Moreno helped Espanyol equalize the score.
After scoring the goal, the young player Moreno ran wildly to the sidelines and performed a sliding kneeling gesture in celebration.
"Moreno...Moreno...Moreno..."
The cheers and applause of Espanyol fans once again ignited the Anoeta Stadium.
The on-site commentator sighed: "Moreno's goal is beautiful! But this is also a chance given by the opponent. Mikel's mistake is huge. Facing the continuous attacks of the Espanyol team, the defender is under great mental pressure. After a long time, he made a mistake
It’s inevitable…”
Moyes on the sidelines angrily yelled at Mikel who missed the kick, "Asshole! Why do you have to kick like this? What's wrong with kicking directly out of the baseline and giving your opponent a corner kick? What are you afraid of?"
Espanyol head coach Sergio was grinning from ear to ear with happiness. Not only did he have the upper hand now, but he was also so lucky that the opponent's defender even took the initiative to give him a big gift. This was because he was afraid that Espanyol would not win.
Real Sociedad took a three-goal lead, but was equalized by his own team with three consecutive goals. Sergio felt that the opponent's psychological defense was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, we should continue to strengthen our offense and score another goal to seal the victory.
Sergio came to the sidelines, called several celebrating players over, and asked them to pass the information to their teammates, strengthen the offense, maintain a high-pressure press in the frontcourt, and not give the opponent a chance to breathe.
Moyes began to make substitutions at this time, replacing forward Bruma and replacing him with a defensive midfielder to strengthen the defense. At the same time, he told the players on the court not to just defend but not attack, and to attack boldly if there is an opportunity.
Real Sociedad, which hit bottom, did not face collapse as Sergio thought. When faced with losing, Real Sociedad revealed its tough nature.
They started a "close combat" with the Espanyol team in their own half, committing frequent fouls and making big and rough moves.
This is not only a demonstration to the Espanyol team, but also a demonstration to the referee: if you dare, just send off another one.
Asensio comes from a wealthy club like Real Madrid. Most wealthy players are looked after by referees, so he has encountered this kind of treatment.
After being knocked down by Real Sociedad several times, Asensio no longer dared to break through because he was worried that his opponent would break his leg.
But the players of the old Espanyol team are not afraid and are even familiar with this intensity.
Last season, Espanyol was the team with the most fouls and the most red and yellow cards in La Liga.
In terms of roughness, Espanyol and Real Sociedad are evenly matched.
The game time passed by endless fouls and steals, and the shots created were meager.
Seeing that the game has entered the 80th minute, the team that is anxious now becomes the Espanyol team.
The Espanyol team themselves cannot forgive themselves for playing one more player for such a long time and still not being able to win.
The on-site commentator praised: "It is worthy of Real Sociedad, which defeated Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid last season. Even without one player, it did not collapse. On the contrary, it became more and more tenacious. If the fight continues like this, if the Espanyol team does not come up with something, it will be a draw."
The possibility is very high..."
Zhao Yang could not change this situation.
In a football match, if the opponent's goal is to commit a foul, then even Messi and Maradona can't pass the ball. Passing is the best way, but Zhao Yang's passing ability, awareness, and vision are all
generally.
In this case, Zhao Yang simply gave up on breakthroughs and focused on finding opportunities to shoot inside and outside the penalty area.
Zhao Yang's changes are correct and timely.
In the 80th minute of the game, Zhao Yangji got a chance to take a long shot.
This is a return pass from Moreno to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang didn't stop playing the ball, and he shot the ball furiously.
As soon as Zhao Yang kicked the ball out, his opponent kicked him in the calf.
The kick was very painful, and Zhao Yang was kicked to the ground on one knee.
There were too many people in the penalty area, and Zhao Yang's shot also bounced off the players in the penalty area.
However, there were more Espanyol players on the periphery, and the ball was once again obtained by a Espanyol player and passed to the penalty area.
After Zhao Yang got up, when he saw his teammates getting the ball, he suddenly got up and drove into the penalty area at high speed.
The players defending Zhao Yang followed Zhao Yang closely, preventing him from easily finding a chance to shoot.
But Zhao Yang was kicked just now and before he could get up, the defensive player was a little distracted. When he discovered that Zhao Yang had run away, he quickly chased after Zhao Yang and found that Zhao Yang had already entered the penalty area.
Zhao Yang got rid of the player marking him, but then a player in the penalty area gave up his defensive target and came to defend Zhao Yang.
However, Zhao Yang did not grab the point in the middle. He feinted and shot directly into the back point.
No one hit the ball. The ball reached the back point and the arc was very low. Zhao Yang didn't have to jump up and hit the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.
When Zhao Yang shot, the angle left for him was already very small, and the ball hit the goal post and bounced out.
