The green devil

When Zhao Yang broke into the penalty area, Oblak was very nervous, and his attention was almost entirely on Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang returned to play the ball, and Oblak realized that Asensio had cross-cut to the front of the penalty area.

There were Zhao Yang and two central defenders in the penalty area. Oblak's vision was blocked and he couldn't see the direction of Asensio's shot clearly. When the ball appeared in Oblak's vision, Oblak was too late to save.

The ball whizzed past and flew into the net against the goal post.

2:2

Asensio's angry shot from the front of the penalty area helped the Espanyol team equalize again.

After the goal, Asensio raised his arms high and ran to the stands roaring.

The Espanyol fans jumped up and roared with Asensio, venting their depression.

From the start of the game, Espanyol fans have been on tenterhooks.

This game may be the most difficult game the Spaniard has played this season.

Although I lost badly against Real Madrid, it was a brittle defeat with almost no resistance, so it was not difficult.

In this game, the Spaniard was also under pressure, but he had the ability to resist and scored a goal.

But the scene is very ugly, the ball may be lost at any time, not to mention, it is even very difficult to get the ball.

It wasn't until Asensio scored this goal that the Spaniard fans had some confidence in their team. Regardless of the ugly scene, the Spaniard still has the ability to compete with Atletico Madrid.

Sergio also breathed a sigh of relief.

Atletico Madrid's defense is so good, it is very disappointing to let Atletico Madrid lead.

It will be much more comfortable to equalize, and the equalizer will take the initiative and can fight Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

After all, for the Espanyol team, it is also very precious to be able to score a point at the Calderon Stadium.

Simeone yelled at the players on the field, and was very dissatisfied with them letting Zhao Yang rush into the penalty area and let Asensio kick easily.

The defense against these two men was emphasized by Simeone before the game, and it was also rehearsed repeatedly in training. In the end, these two men scored the goal. How could Simeone not be angry.

In the VIP box, Espanyol owner Chen Yansheng stood up and applauded for Asensio's goal and the Espanyol's beautiful cooperation.

However, Zhang Lin, who was sitting next to him, said in a strange way: "The goal is beautiful, but it's a pity that Asensio is from Real Madrid, and the Spaniard can't keep it."

Chen Yansheng said coldly: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe Asensio is willing to stay in the Espanyol team next year."

Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Asensio is not stupid, if Real Madrid wants him, he will not go back."

Chen Yansheng said: "It's hard to say, back to Real Madrid, Asensio is at most a rotation lineup, but in the Espanyol, Asensio is the absolute main force, and there are thousands of fans supporting him."

Zhang Lin shrugged and smiled, and stopped talking.

On the field

The game continues.

Although the Espanyol team is now ranked third, in the eyes of Atletico Madrid players and fans, the Espanyol team is still the "bastard" of La Liga who has no hope of winning the championship and has no worries about relegation.

Atletico Madrid took the lead twice and was equalized twice by such a "bad team". Atletico Madrid people are deeply ashamed.

After the kick-off in the middle circle, Atletico Madrid pressed crazily, increasing the rhythm of the game to the extreme, trying to crush the Spaniard in one fell swoop.

The Spaniard was tortured by Atletico Madrid for more than 30 minutes, and the players have adapted to this rhythm and confrontation.

In fact, the Spaniards are not a gentleman's team. They were the team that got the red and yellow cards last season, and they were also rated as one of the roughest teams by the fans.

This season, the Spaniard has performed very well, and there is no shortage of scorers. He often leads by a large score, so naturally he does not need a rough defense.

Now that Atletico Madrid is playing so rough and is so fierce to Zhao Yang and Asensio, the Spaniard's players naturally use their housekeeping skills.

Both Atletico Madrid and the Spaniard adopted foul tactics, and the game scene became very hot, and it was often seen that people turned their backs on their backs.

Hot is hot, but there is nothing exciting to speak of, and there are not even many tactics, and everyone is fouling.

Atlético fans seemed immune to this style of play, even applauding every ferocious foul.

The remaining ten minutes of the first half were almost passed by the constant fouls. The first half ended quickly, but the score did not change, and it was still 2:2.

When returning to the locker room, the Spaniards were once again attacked by Atletico Madrid fans. This time, not only were there boos, but some fans even threw objects at the Spaniards.

Back in the locker room, the Spaniard players were all shocked and frightened, and they all scolded the Atletico Madrid players and fans for being rude, like half-civilized savages.

In the first half of the game, Zhao Yang and Asensio received key "care" and kicked countless times on their legs and feet.

Other teammates scolded Atletico Madrid players and fans, but Zhao Yang and Asensio sat there to exchange their feelings about the game and check whether their legs were injured.

After a while, the head coach Sergio came in.

"Everyone worked hard in the first half and performed well. They drew against the powerful Atletico Madrid. I hope we will continue to work hard in the second half and strive for good results."

Then Sergio talked about some problems that occurred in the first half, such as arguing with the referee, so that he got a yellow card.Also, the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is too slow to keep up with Atletico Madrid's players.

In response to these situations, Sergio hoped that the players would play faster and make fouls more decisively. In addition, they would not argue with the referee. If they were sent off for fighting with the referee, the loss would outweigh the gain.

After talking with the players, Sergio talked with Zhao Yang and Asensio alone for a while.What Sergio meant was that there is still a gap between the Spaniard's strength and Atletico Madrid, and a draw would be a good result.

Sergio hopes that Zhao Yang and Asensio will pay attention to protecting themselves and not fighting hard. The season is still very long, and there are plenty of opportunities to score goals.

in the home team locker room

Simeone's spittle flew to almost every player's face.

Bandit Shuai was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

In Simeone's view, Atletico Madrid led the Spaniard by two goals in the first half to qualify.

"What kind of players are the Espanyol team? Nobody! Come to Atletico Madrid, we can't even play as a substitute. But in the first half, we drew with them!"

"On the Espanyol team, Zhao Yang and Asensio, who are the only ones I can name by name, also scored goals. How do you defend? Is your best defense in La Liga a vain name? Now I look like paper. of."

"In the second half, we must win. We must not let Zhao Yang and Asensio score again. We are running out of time. We must seize the time and score as soon as possible. Don't give the opponent hope. With hope, they will resist more tenaciously."
