The green devil

The other Spaniard players were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

But Rocco is the main defender of the Spaniard, and he often has assists and headers. When he made such a mistake, everyone can only complain in private, and no one dares to criticize him in public.

Captain Harvey Lopez also went over to comfort Rocco, telling him not to blame himself too much, everyone makes mistakes.

However, such a conceded goal not only has a great blow to morale, but also midfielders and forward players hesitate when passing the ball back, lest they make mistakes in the backcourt.

At the beginning of the game, Levante was almost frightened by Zhao Yang's two-footed shot. With Lerma's goal, Levante's nervousness was swept away, and the confidence he had when he was the nemesis came back spontaneously.

Self-confidence can often explode with great energy, just like the current record of the Spaniards, it is because the Spaniards become more confident as they play, not because they already have the strength of the top four.

At the beginning, the confrontation between Levante and the Spaniard was a bit reluctant, but after the goal, the two sides really played a confrontational battle. Both sides had the chance to shoot and the ball possession time was about the same.

Levante also took advantage of the Spaniard's eagerness to equalize and put the defense on the premise that the Spaniard was offside three times.

The Spaniard's best chance to score came in the 24th minute. Zhao Yang broke through the middle to score the ball, and then ran to the front point to outflank.

Zhao Yang successfully attracted the attention of the Levante players, leaving Caicedo, who was outflanking in the middle, almost unmarked.

Caicedo leaped high, shook his head and attacked the goal.

At such a close distance, goalkeeper Martinez couldn't react in time, but the ball flew out of the baseline against the left goal post.

Caicedo was extremely annoyed, put his head in his hands, and squatted in the penalty area.

Then Levante stepped up the attack and responded to Caicedo's shot.

Central defender Navarro went forward into the Spaniard's penalty area and headed the goal. The ball flew out of the baseline against the right post.

The score was behind, and the scene could not gain the upper hand. The Spaniard played more impatiently.Since Zhao Yang was marked to death, Asensio, the core midfielder, also had to frequently dribble the ball to tear apart Levante's defense.

At 35 minutes into the game, another accident happened.

When Asensio broke through with the ball, he was shoveled by Levante midfielder Lerma who scored.

Although Asensio made a dodge move, he still couldn't dodge completely, and was shoveled several times.

The referee ran over, showed Lerma a yellow card and awarded a free kick.

The Espanyol players saw Asensio hugging his legs and screaming, dissatisfied with the penalty, they all went over to put pressure on Pigpi, and wanted the referee to give Lerma a red card.

However, the referee did not think that Lerma's shovel could constitute a red card and insisted on his own penalty.

At this time, the Spaniard's players saw Asensio sitting up by himself and thought he was fine, so they didn't continue to quarrel with the referee.

However, when Asensio got up and kicked the free kick he created,

Suddenly, he touched his thigh and sat on the ground again.

There is no confrontation, this time, there must be something wrong.

The team doctor quickly stepped onto the field and lifted Asensio off on a stretcher.

After Asensio went down, he never came up again, and soon Gerrard.After a simple warm-up, Moreno replaced Asensio.

With Asensio here, the Spaniards were not able to deal with Levante. Now that Asensio is off, the Spaniard fans are silent, and they even have a premonition of failure.

The players on the field were all in a low mood, only Moreno, who had just played and was eager to perform, was excited.

After Moreno came on the field, Zhao Yang returned to the midfield from the striker, and the Spaniard switched to a double striker mode, but the midfield organizer was replaced by Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang's organizational ability is not good, and his passing skills and vision are average. It is not very effective to let him play in the midfield.

It's just that the Spaniard is behind in the score now and needs to strengthen the offense, so Sergio sent Moreno on the field.

The Spaniard has never played a three-forward tactic. Moreno and Caicedo are pure forwards, so Zhao Yang can only retreat.

In the first round of the Copa del Rey match, Zhao Yang was hidden for most of the game, just for the next two games. If he lost this game, Zhao Yang would probably be criticized by the media and fans after the game.

After Asensio was injured and left the field, Zhao Yang felt that he had a greater responsibility. He kept raising his hand to ask for the ball, and used his breakthrough to create opportunities for his teammates to score.

Without Asensio, Levante was more at ease to encircle Zhao Yang with heavy troops. As soon as Zhao Yang got the ball, at least two people went to double-team, and some players cut off Zhao Yang's passing line.

Zhao Yang's dribbling ability is really good, but he can't continuously dribble in a small area like Messi. Facing the opponent's double-team encirclement, he broke through a few times, either being fouled or stealing the ball, and he succeeded once in a while. Looking up, there are also opposing players in the passing lanes for Caicedo and Moreno.

Zhao Yang didn't dare to ask for the ball anymore. When his teammates passed the ball, he also chose to pass it back more often to play with his teammates.

Zhao Yang's retreat to the midfield didn't help. The Spaniard's offense was not as good as before Asensio left the field.

But Levante played better and better, and even suppressed the Spaniard in the last few minutes of the first half.

Fans from both sides in the stands were stunned, wondering if this Levante team, which had beaten the fourth in the league, was the vice-president of the bottom one.

The head coach Sergio scratched his head anxiously on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do. Originally, Moreno played, but Zhao Yang retreated because of Asensio's accidental injury. He didn't know the effect. There were only five or six minutes left in the first half. , Sergio, who has no experience, doesn't know how to adjust, so he can only make up for it and wait for the intermission.

Lewandowski is particularly concerned about the excitement of the game, and there are a lot of shots, but they only scored 13 goals in 10 rounds. score.

It was so hard to wait until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Sergio finally let go of his heart in his throat. He hurriedly discussed with the assistant coaches how to make tactical adjustments so that Zhao Yang and the two players could make full use of it. The role of a forward.

The tactical coach carefully observed the game after Zhao Yang retreated. He believed that even if Zhao Yang retreated, he could not stay away from the penalty area. Zhao Yang who stayed away from the penalty area actually abolished his martial arts.

Because the opponent can double-team and foul unscrupulously, there is no need to worry about being punished by Zhao Yang's free kick, and there is no need to worry about Zhao Yang's strong shots at any time.

After repeated discussions with the assistant coaches, Sergio thought that the current situation is so passive, it is possible to take a risk and try to play three forwards, leaving only three midfielders, and Zhao Yang's position is between the center and the attacking midfielder.

In fact, this is not original. The rivals in the same city, Barcelona, ​​use Messi in this way. Sergio just took it and applied it. As for the effect, anyway, the Spaniard's playmaker Asensio is injured now, so he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. .
