The green devil

In the first half, Caicedo missed two must-go goals, and Espanyol fans blamed him for his poor shooting skills.

Zhao Yang played and failed to score two more must-have goals.

Now the Spaniard fans understand that this is not a question of shooting skills, it is a question of luck.

Strong opponents can be defeated, but can bad luck be defeated?

The Espanyol fans were a little desperate. At this moment, they seemed to really understand the meaning of the nemesis.

The Spaniard's players didn't have time to think too much, Zhao Yang missed the shot, and Levante quickly launched a counterattack.

Levante's counterattack was very simple and efficient.

Defender Juanfran got the ball and gave it to midfielder Luven immediately. Luven directly passed a long pass behind the Spaniard's defender, letting his striker Davis chase.

This simple counterattack works well.

The Spaniard's midfielder directly lost its barrier function, and the defender's experience, technology and numerical advantages are almost useless. It depends on who has the fastest speed, quickest response and good physical fitness.

Captain Harvey.Lopez chased back desperately, and after clearing the ball out of the sideline, he was stuck there and gasped for breath. If he counterattacked twice, he might not even have the strength to end the game.

The head coach Sergio also saw this, and hurriedly warmed up Rocco on the bench, ready to replace Harvey Lopez.

After Zhao Yang played, Levante was still a little apprehensive.

The opportunity to counterattack was lost, and too many troops were not invested in the sideline ball, and the ball was quickly snatched by the Spaniard.

The Spaniard organized an attack, but Zhao Yang and Asensio were taken care of, and the attack effect was mediocre. In the end, Diop shot a long shot, and the ball flew high into the stands.

At 70 minutes, the score was still 0:1, and Sergio made a gamble substitution.

The old captain Harvey Lopez, who was physically weak, was replaced, and Rocco, who was good at heading, played.

This is a two-handed preparation. There is really no way to score. When getting a set kick, Rocco can also go to the penalty area to compete for the top.

The defensive midfielder Diop was also replaced, and the opponent's counterattack did not pass through the midfield at all, and the defensive midfielder had little effect.

However, it was not the midfielder who replaced Diop, but the striker Gerrard.Moreno.

This teenager was able to play mainly because Moreno made a free kick against Atletico Madrid in the last game. In the end, Zhao Yang used this free kick to break Atletico Madrid's goal.

Sergio has no choice this time, and I hope Moreno can bring good luck to the Spaniard again.

Moreno was very excited. Seeing that the second substitution was given to a defender, he thought he was out of luck. He didn't expect the head coach to be so aggressive, and the three substitutions were all used up at once.

Moreno was also really lucky. Levante focused his energy on defending Zhao Yang and Asensio. He got the ball right on the field and got a chance to shoot.

Moreno is very confident as a shooter. The ball passed to his feet. When he saw a chance to shoot, he didn't think about passing the ball and shot with his foot.

This shot can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. It is not powerful and the angle is not tricky. As long as the goalkeeper does not lose his mind, he will not miss it.

Levante goalkeeper Diego is in good form, he flies to save the ball over the baseline.

The Spaniard wins a corner.

At this time, the positioning ball is very precious, and it is often an important means to break the deadlock.

Asensio takes the corner kick.

The young former Real Madrid genius had a whim and shot directly from the corner kick, and the ball turned to the back corner of the goal with a huge arc.

This corner kick was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The goalkeeper Diego was also taken aback and moved desperately to the back corner. The defensive ball really shot within the range of the goal frame.

A direct shot from a corner kick requires extremely high footwork, and a direct goal from a corner kick depends more on luck.

Asensio's luck was not good, the ball spun directly out of the baseline.

Although Asensio now has a high status in the team, the handling of the ball still made the teammates a little dissatisfied, especially the central defenders who came to the penalty area to compete for the top.

After more than 70 minutes, even if Levante is confident in playing the Spaniard, he is unwilling to attack aggressively.

In this home and away knockout match, away goals are very important. At this time, the benefits of scoring are not as good as not conceding.

Levante focused on defense, and the Spaniard immediately pressed forward, bringing the last line of defense near the center circle.

The more ball possessions, the more shooting opportunities.

In the 78th minute of the game, Asensio tried another long-range shot from the side of the penalty area, and his curved ball hit the post again and flew out of the baseline.

Soon, Rocco made a pass from the side, and Moreno took advantage of his opponent's unfamiliarity and also got a chance to shoot. His header was slightly higher than the crossbar.

The only one who didn't get a chance to shoot was Zhao Yang.

The Spaniard pressed heavily, and the defenders frequently put in assists. Levante could not defend every player, so they only focused on Zhao Yang and Asensio, especially Zhao Yang. The Levante players had reached a consensus and would never Give Zhao Yang a chance to kick.

A good striker is unstoppable.

In the 83rd minute, the Spaniard made a long pass from the backcourt, and Zhao Yang ran back strangely, playing tricks on the defenders marking him, and grabbed the ball. However, Zhao Yang also missed the best opportunity to head the ball, so he could only jump up and shoot in the air.

Fortunately, it was a skill given by the system, even in a very awkward state, Zhao Yang still completed the shot.

Goalkeeper Diego obviously didn't expect Zhao Yang to be able to finish the shot. When the ball flew over, he didn't even have time to start it.

Fortunately, Levante was blessed with good luck today, and Zhao Yang's must-have goal was once again rejected by the goal post.

There was a sound of sighing at the scene.

The Spaniard fans were speechless.

Even Zhao Yang went up, but still couldn't score, and the Spaniard had no better way to score.

Fortunately, even the Levante fans were a little embarrassed. Today their goal seemed to be covered, and the Spaniard couldn't get through no matter how they played.

After Zhao Yang landed, he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply. With such luck, he will soon be able to catch up with the Hong Kong Island team for the national football team in the world preliminaries.

Just as Zhao Yang sighed, the substitute striker Moreno, who was pulled to the side, grabbed the ball that popped up and swept towards the penalty area.

If Zhao Yang saw Moreno grab the ball, he would definitely adjust his body to grab the ball, but he just sighed, the adjustment was slow, the ball came in front of him, and Zhao Yang was still facing the goal sideways.

Zhao Yang's brain has not yet reacted, but his body has already made a movement. He stepped forward with his left foot in front of his right foot, tapped his heel, and the ball immediately turned around and flew towards the goal.

There are many people in the penalty area. This is another ground ball, and the shooting range is still very small. The goalkeeper Diego's vision is blocked. When he sees the ball, the ball is almost on the goal line.

Diego quickly fell to the ground to catch the ball, but was slow and the ball flew from his hands into the goal.

1:1

Zhao Yang's tricky heel shot equalized the score for the Spaniard.
