The green devil

The game between Espanyol and Celta is the penultimate game before Christmas.

There are four strong dialogues in this round, which are the battles between the top four teams in the standings and the top eight teams in the standings.

They are leaders Barcelona against No. 7 Deportivo, No. [-] Real Madrid against No. [-] Villarreal, No. [-] Espanyol against No. [-] Celta Vigo, No. [-] Atletico Madrid against eighth-ranked Bilbao.

Due to the key match in the final round of the Champions League group in the middle of the week, the top three in the Western Super League did not use all their energy and main force.

This also caused two upsets in this round.

皇马被比利亚雷亚尔1球击败，巴萨被拉科鲁尼亚2：2逼平，西超三强只有马竞惊险的2：1击败了毕尔巴鄂竞技。

The battle for the top four between the Spaniard and Celta ended in the Spaniard's victory.

After this round of competition, Atletico Madrid and the Spaniard became the winners. Atletico Madrid surpassed Real Madrid in points, tied with Barcelona, ​​and tied for the top spot; Atletico Madrid defeated Celta Vigo and consolidated the fourth place.

After the game, apart from talking about Barcelona and Real Madrid and denouncing Real Madrid coach Benitez, the major media also praised the Spaniard and Zhao Yang.

"The darkest horse, the biggest surprise, the Spaniard rose strongly and became the leader of the second group."

"Scoring 15 goals in 15 rounds, Zhao Yang overwhelmed Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar and other superstars, ranked first in the scorer list, and became a veritable devil."

"Talking with each other, the Spaniard, who is short of major generals, had the last laugh. Zhao Yang scored twice, and Kai Rui, the genius of Hua Guo, showed his sharpness throughout the game, and he has already revealed his superstar demeanor."

"After the 15th round, the Spaniard was only 3 points away from the top of the list. The Spaniard general talked about the goal of relegation after the game. Also coveting the La Liga throne."

……

Although the Spaniard really has no intention of peeking at the La Liga crown, but the media commented like this, both the Spaniard players and fans are very happy.

It turns out that the Spaniard is just a lower-middle team. It belongs to the kind of team that no one pays attention to. It is not even as good as a relegation team. During the relegation battle, it can still be discussed by the media and fans.

Now, they have finally become the darlings of the media and fans, and even potential championship contenders in the eyes of the media.

This feeling of vanity satisfied the Spaniards from top to bottom.

There are even many Spaniard fans who hope that the Champions League match in the middle of the week will be more intense. It is best that the top three in the Western Super League will be exhausted and exhausted. Once on the top of the standings.

The La Liga team played well in the UEFA Champions League midweek.

There are 5 teams participating in La Liga this season. In the end, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona all won the first place in the group, while Valencia and Sevilla won the third place in the group and will play in the Europa League.

In the Premier League, only Manchester United was eliminated, Manchester City and Chelsea won the first place in the group without any risk, and Arsenal came out of desperation and ranked second in the group.The two Bundesliga teams qualified, Bayern and Wolfsburg both won the first place in the group, Borussia and Leverkusen were out, and the latter will play in the Europa League.Both Serie A teams Juventus and Roma are second in the group

The UEFA Champions League is the best way to see the strength of the major leagues. La Liga's performance is worthy of its title of the world's first league.

Although it was three games a week, after completing the Champions League, the top three Western Super League players who had no distractions finally devoted all their energy to the last league game before Christmas.

Real Madrid went on a killing spree and slaughtered Vallecano 10:2 at home, creating the fourth double-digit massacre in the history of Real Madrid.

In this game, Bell staged a big four, Benzema performed a hat-trick, and Ronaldo also scored 2 goals.

In this way, Real Madrid has two players with more than 10 goals, Benzema 11 and Ronaldo 10.

Barcelona also easily defeated Sporting Gijon 3:1. Neymar scored two goals and Suarez scored one goal. Both Neymar and Suarez scored 15 goals, closely following Zhao Yang in the scorer list.

The only upset is Atletico Madrid. It may be that the game before the Champions League was too hard. Now after the Champions League, Atletico Madrid has suffered from physical exhaustion. They were defeated by Malaga 1-0 in the away game.

Although the Spaniard has lost the dream of reaching the top of the standings once, if they can beat Las Palmas, they will enter the top three of the standings, which is also a position that the Spaniards could not reach.

The Spaniard's last opponent before Christmas is newly promoted Las Palmas.Las Palmas is the only team in La Liga this season that is not located in the Iberian Peninsula, and the only team from Africa.

Las Palmas is the largest city in the Canary Region of Gran Canaria.Although Gran Canaria is Spanish territory, it is close to Africa, which also created the unique style of the island team of Las Palmas.

Las Palmas is a typical small business. Before they were promoted to La Liga, they were nothing in the transfer market for 4 consecutive years.

After being promoted to La Liga, the chairman of Las Palmas, Ramirez, finally spent 340 million euros in the summer transfer market to buy out 3 outstanding loan players: Araujo, Bier La and Ortuño.In addition, Las Palmas also signed Valladolid goalkeeper Javi Ballas, who suffered a lot in the play-offs last season, for free.

The head coach of Las Palmas, Herrera, is of course not a famous coach. Before joining Las Palmas, his most brilliant achievement was only leading Celta Vigo to upgrade from the second division in the 2011/12 season.

Herrera has been coaching for more than 20 years, but the number of times he has led the team to La Liga can be counted on one hand, but it is such an unknown head coach who brought Las Palmas, who cannot make ends meet, to La Liga.

Raspalmars' style of play is known for quick counterattacks. Whether it is a long pass or a through pass, they will always seek to quickly pass through the midfield when in possession of the ball, and then attack the side to solve the battle.This style of play made Las Palmas the team with the highest offensive efficiency in the second division last season. They and the league champion Real Betis both scored 73 league goals.

Team coach Herrera's tactics are relatively simple. Unless he encounters a critical game that must be won, he will resort to a 4231 formation, and it is the most secure double midfielder arrangement.

The so-called good use of what you have is the best. Although the tactics are relatively simple, Herrera is not a lineup to win the world.In the critical battle that must be won, Herrera also has a tactic of breaking the boat, moving the 4231 formation collectively to 433.

Las Palmas, which used the 433 formation last season, achieved a record of complete victories. Against opponents of similar strength, Las Palmas's trick is very effective as a surprise weapon.
