The green devil

"what!"

"what!"

"God!"

……

The Spaniard fans in the stands were stunned!

No one thought that less than 2 minutes into the game, the opponent won a penalty!

The scoring rate of penalty kicks is as high as 80.00%, which is almost equal to falling behind.

In the commentary booth, Huaguo commentator He Wei sighed again and again, "This is inexperience! I was caught off guard in the opening game! If this goal is scored, the Spaniard will not be able to play!"

Another commentator, Liu Jia, also looked sad, "This is a fatal away goal! Even if it is zero to zero, it is better than the opponent's away goal."

On the dugout, Sergio stamped his feet angrily at Gonzalez's stupid foul.

Captain Harvey Lopez shook his head and said to Sergio: "Don't be angry, it's the first time you play this kind of game, everyone is a little flustered, just play for a while."

Sergio said unhappily: "I'm afraid if we fight for a while, the opponents will be two or three ahead."

Harvey Lopez was speechless.

On the field

Fabinho, who took the penalty kick for Monaco, walked towards the penalty spot holding the ball.

Espanyol goalkeeper Diego standing in front of the goal.Lopez was calm. He stretched and smiled at Fabinho, as if to say, "Come on, lad, let's see how you shoot."

Fabinho did not talk to Diego.Lopez looked at each other, but silently set the ball up, took a few steps back, and waited for the referee's whistle.

In the stands, no Espanyol fans spoke, and everyone prayed silently, hoping that Diego Lopez would perform miraculously and save Fabinho's penalty.

The referee's whistle blew, and Fabinho ran up to the ball, without making any fake moves, and shot directly to the lower right corner of the goal.

Diego Lopez jumped to the right the moment Fabinho shot.

The angle of the ball was not tricky enough. Diego Lopez bet on the right direction and flew to throw the ball.

"Ah! I threw it out!"

"Pounced out!"

"Diego! Diego!"

"Great Squidward!"

……

Earth-shattering cheers and applause sounded from the stands.

Espanyol fans almost all jumped up and cheered for Diego Lopez.

Head coach Sergio was so excited that he clenched his fists and rushed out of the coach's bench shouting.

"Beautiful! Well done! Diego! You are my god!"

Sergio is so excited!This is the starting lineup he arranged against all opinions. Diego Lopez has this performance, and he has credit.

The most important thing is that the penalty kick was saved and the Spaniard's morale stabilized, which is of great significance to the progress of the game.

Monaco coach Jardim couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't expect this penalty to be missed at all.

The opponent is a rookie in the Champions League, with a low level and no experience. Jardim believes that if this penalty is scored, the opponent's psychology will almost collapse.

But now, the situation has completely reversed, the morale of the opponent has been boosted, and the confidence of the old goalkeeper Diego may have also improved. The next game will be quite unfavorable for Monaco.

The commentators He Wei and Liu Jia cheered loudly almost at the same time:

"Awesome! I threw it out!"

"Brother Octopus is too fierce!"

"This is the embodiment of luck and strength!"

"The Espanyol team has great hopes of winning this game!"

……

There was laughter and applause everywhere outside the arena.

On the court, the ball did not go out of bounds, and the game was still going on fiercely.

The moment the ball was saved, the players on both sides were a little dazed, and they didn't expect the ball to be saved.

When it was found that the ball did not fly out of the sideline, the players on both sides immediately rushed to grab the ball.

The full-back Alvarez got the ball before his opponent, but Alvarez, who was still in shock, did not organize a counterattack and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Taking advantage of Monaco's throw-in, the Spaniard's teammates came to pay tribute to Diego Lopez.

In the opening 3 minutes, Diego Lopez, who had only played 2 minutes of the official game, easily won the trust of his teammates.

Monaco throws the ball in.

Mendy did not throw the ball to Lemar, who was heavily marked, but to Bakayoko who was farther away.

Bakayoko is not good at organization. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed it to Silva, allowing Silva to organize the attack from the right.

After the penalty kick was saved, the Spaniard's morale was boosted, and the players were extremely active in running and pressing.

As soon as Silva got the ball, two players quickly surrounded him.

Silva crosses the ball to Fabinho.

Fabinho dribbles the ball forward and Diop rushes over to press.

Fabinho missed the penalty and was a little impatient. He passed the ball straight to forward Gilman and advanced himself.

Fabinho hoped that Gilman would give the ball to him again, but after getting the ball with his back, Gilman turned around and shot.

The Spaniard's central defender Oscar raised his foot to intercept and blocked the ball.

Bakayoko and Diop got stuck in position to snatch the ball, but Zhao Yang, who came back to defend, snatched the ball away.

Zhao Yang took the ball and glanced at the forward. Moreno saw that he had started to take the ball. Zhao Yang immediately made a long pass behind the Monaco full-back.

This is tacit understanding and trust. With the new striker transferred in the summer, the timing of this pass may not be so precise.

Moreno's short-distance sprint ability is very strong. Monaco's full-back Raj turned around and failed to catch up. Moreno caught up with the ball near the bottom line and passed it directly to the goal.

Zhao Yang's pass was a little too big. Moreno had no time to adjust after catching up with the ball. The pass was a bit reluctant. The ball was passed too close to the goal and was caught by the goalkeeper Subasic.

Although Caicedo, who was outflanking, could not touch him, he still gave Moreno a thumbs up, indicating that the pass was good.

This was the Spaniard's first attack. Although he failed to form a shot, he also broke through the opponent's defense and posed a certain threat.

The fans in the stands could see clearly, and expressed their encouragement for this attack with applause.

The commentator He Wei praised: "Zhao Yang's pass is really good! It's a bit of Beckham's demeanor."

Liu Jia laughed and said, "Zhao Yang is the same in the Espanyol as he is in the national team. He needs to score goals and assists."

He Wei said: "If the national team can equip Zhao Yang with the Spaniard, Zhao Yang can wake up from his dreams with a smile."

Liu Jiadao: "The round of 12 World Cup qualifiers is about to start. I hope Zhao Yang can adjust his state and don't get injured. The national team can rely on him."

On the field

After Subasic got the ball, he quickly threw the ball to full-back Mendy.

Mendy took the ball to see that the opponent's forward Piatti didn't come up, and immediately dribbled the ball forward.

Seeing that Mendy didn't pass the ball, Piatti hurried over to press.

Mendy made a cross pass, suddenly accelerated, and used his speed and body to force Piatti.

Mendy has both speed and strength. Piatti followed closely for a few steps but didn't keep up. He couldn't hold back even if he wanted to.

The defensive midfielder Diop moved to the side, and Zhao Yang also ran diagonally to the side, ready to pinch the ball carrier with his teammates at any time.
