Chapter 90 Two consecutive victories! Double stars shine
Parejo never came back after leaving the game. He strained his thigh muscle again.
Without Parejo, the bat army's strength is greatly reduced. Without Parejo's organization, they can no longer take advantage of the attack.
The Espanyol team's Zhao Yang and Asensio are both weapons in chaos and can create huge threats in the frontcourt.
In the last ten minutes of the second half, the Espanyol team suppressed Valencia with a half-court attack amid the cheers of more than 30,000 home fans.
Valencia is like a small boat in the sea, it may capsize at any time.
At this moment, the Valencia fans in the stands were silent, only the Espanyol fans were shouting at the top of their lungs.
The two coaches on the sidelines, Sergio and Nuno, were very agitated. They both kept shouting at the stadium, but not many people heard what they were shouting.
In the 88th minute of the game, Zhao Yang got the ball in the middle and two Valencia players came over to double-team.
Zhao Yang did not have the confidence to pass the two players, so he gave the ball to Asensio, ran to the penalty area, and grabbed points with Caicedo.
When breaking through dense defenses, when passing and cutting coordination and personal breakthroughs do not work, long passes are also a good method to compete for headers.
Asensio didn't understand Zhao Yang's intention. He dove into the sea of people, trying to clear a bloody path, but with so many defensive players, even if Messi came, he couldn't guarantee that he would break through.
Asensio just got rid of a player, and then Danilo kicked the ball away.
Valencia got the ball and counterattacked, but they only had Paco in the frontcourt at the moment. The ball passed and was intercepted by Spaniard midfielder Diop.
Diop came to the midfield and passed the ball to Zhao Yang.
When the fans in the stands saw Zhao Yang catching the ball, they immediately shouted: "Zhao Yang! Score one! Zhao Yang! Score one!"
Zhao Yang also wanted to score one, but as soon as he received the ball, two defensive players came over. Others were also staring at this side. Once he was unstable with the ball and something went wrong, another player would immediately come to surround him.
Rob.
Zhao Yang was still self-aware and knew that he did not have Messi's ability to take the head of a general out of an army, so he honestly passed the ball to Asensio again and went to the penalty area to fight for the header.
Compared with Asensio, Zhao Yang's shooting skills are more comprehensive, and his header ability is not bad either.
Asensio understood Zhao Yang's meaning this time. He didn't stop the ball and directly took a long diagonal kick to find Zhao Yang's path forward.
Asensio's passing skills are very good. This kick is very accurate, but there are too many people inside and outside the penalty area. Valencia midfielder Fueg saw Asensio's pass and flew over to head the ball to clear the ball.
Zhao Yang bumped into each other.
Under the attack of Zhao Yang and Fueg, the ball flew towards Caicedo.
Caicedo saw Asensio moving forward and without hesitation he headed the ball to Asensio.
Caicedo's ball was very comfortable. Asensio didn't need to adjust his steps. He just followed up with a kick that bounced off the instep.
There were a lot of people in the penalty area, but Asensio was very lucky. The shot just passed through the gap and flew to the upper left corner of the goal.
This series of coordination was so fast that Valencia goalkeeper Domenech was a little dazzled.
When he thought Zhao Yang would header the ball, the ball was cleared.
When he thought Caicedo would shoot, Caicedo passed the ball.
Before he was ready, the ball flew through the gap between people.
The angle is too tricky.
Domenech made a flying dive without touching the ball, and the ball flew straight into the net close to the goal post.
2:1
In the 90th minute, Asensio's kick gave Espanyol the lead.
The fans in the stands were waiting for this moment.
Seeing the ball scored, the El Prat Stadium suddenly erupted.
The shouts and applause were like a roaring tsunami, sweeping across the entire stand in an instant.
"Asensio... Asensio... Asensio..."
Asensio took off his jersey excitedly, roared and ran to the stands, waving his fists at the fans to vent his excitement.
Since Zhao Yang arrived, Asensio's status in the Espanyol team and in the eyes of the fans has continued to decline, which made the arrogant Asensio feel very unhappy.
Today, with a decisive victory over Valencia, Asensio finally found the feeling of being the protagonist again.
The Valencia coach on the sidelines was going crazy.
In the previous four rounds, he had three draws and one win. He felt that he was too unlucky. In this game, he was directly defeated.
The opponent is not as strong as Valencia.
What's even more depressing is that core player Parejo was injured again just now.
This is simply adding insult to injury.
This means that not only is this game lost, but the subsequent games will also be difficult.
Espanyol head coach Sergio slammed the mineral water in his hand to the ground, rushed into the field frantically and hugged the players on the field.
In the VIP box, Chen Yansheng cheered, stood up suddenly, rushed out of the box, and celebrated with the Espanyol fans.
After Chen Yansheng rushed out, Lin Fu, the boss of Valencia, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table, stood up, cursed "Idiot! Incompetent person!", turned around and left the box.
The on-site commentator pounded the table excitedly and said to the fans: "Asensio broke out! His ejection was so smart! The goalkeeper had almost no reaction. Caicedo played the role of a pillar. His ball play was just right. Zhao Yang guided
With this attack, the Spaniard's frontcourt trident has gradually taken shape."
"In the last game, Zhao Yang defeated Real Sociedad. In this game, Asensio defeated Valencia. The Spaniard's twin stars shined, becoming the most beautiful scenery on the court..."
After the Spaniards celebrated, the game continued.
The 90-minute regular game has ended, and the referee has given three minutes.
These three minutes are Valencia's last chance. If Valencia cannot equalize the score in these three minutes, they will suffer their first defeat this season.
Valencia has no escape route or any luck. If you lose one, you will lose. If you lose two, you will lose. It is better to give it a try.
Without Parejo, Valencia also had no organizer. They simply adopted the tactic of long passes and directly attacked the Spaniard's penalty area.
The morale and confidence of the Espanyol team have reached their peak at this time. Facing Valencia's simple and crude attack, the Espanyol team is not nervous or busy at all.
Just killing time.
Valencia was beaten down by the Espanyol team. In the last three minutes, there was not a single shot on goal. Instead, the Spaniard's two counterattacks were very threatening, but the two shots from Caicedo and Diop were not very good.
It was reliable and failed to expand the score for the Spaniards.
Three minutes passed, and as the referee blew his whistle, the match between Espanyol and Valencia was over.
In the end, with the goals of Zhao Yang and Asensio, the Espanyol defeated Valencia 2:1 and achieved two consecutive victories.
