Coach, I want to play football!

Falling behind in the opening game is something Levante does not want to see. As opponents in the regional derby, they have undoubtedly studied the yellow submarine.

When they saw Ye Qi appear on the starting list, they already expected that the opponent would continue to attack quickly at the beginning of the game, but they didn't expect to defend the first wave, and they didn't defend the second wave!

It is said that Levante has studied the yellow submarine, but in their research, they have never seen Villarreal use the frontcourt set ball to score after the opening fast break was destroyed.

Levante: The data misled me!

After conceding the goal in the opening game, Levante strengthened its offensive methods.It's not that they rushed to the doctor because they were behind, but they would rather lose than lose to the yellow submarine of the regional derby opponents.

Just like facing the deadly enemy Valencia, even if the strength is not as good as the opponent, you have to be tough with the opponent!

Facing the spirit of Levante, Marcelino gave the opponent a thumbs-up, and then waved his hand: press up and fight!

In this way, many fans who didn't watch La Liga much saw a rare scene. The two mid-range teams played against each other!

Of course, it is not necessarily true that both teams are in the mid-range, because the Yellow Submarine is the upper-mid-range team, while Levante is the lower-mid-range team.

But generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with being in the middle reaches.

Levante is currently hopeless in the European war this season, and there is no worry about relegation.That's right, the league has just passed halfway and they have almost completed the task of this season - relegation!

However, based on the current state of Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Celta Vigo and Villarreal, it is very difficult for Leo to qualify for the Europa League in the hands of these guys. It was too difficult for Wan Te.

So with the two mentalities of "I have completed the task anyway" and "the opponent is the old man next door who doesn't like it", Levante actually played offensive football.

No.15 minutes, Levante's attack hit the penalty area of ​​Villarreal, the opponent's center played the ball for the midfielder Ruben Garcia who came in, and finally the attacking midfielder Garcia approached the point Shoot from the point of the ball!

It's just that the shot was blocked by Luiz, and was then cleared by Bruno.

Garcia looked at Luiz and glared at the opponent, thinking that this guy blocked a wonderful shot of his own when he was in Valencia in the first half of the season.Now that the second half of the season has come to Villarreal, it's coming again?He is so deliberately trying to make life difficult for himself, right?

No. In the 16th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from Tilos. He just wanted to complete a turn, but was destroyed by the midfielder Camarasa behind him.

But fortunately, Santos, who came in later, regained the possession of the ball, and then gave a ground ball to the wing, his younger brother Santos Jr.

When Ye Qi saw it, he immediately reached the restricted area in the middle.

Santos Jr. took the ball and didn't act immediately, but when the opponent's defensive player approached, he suddenly gave the ball along the sidewalk and then plugged in to Mario.

Mario didn't take the ball directly to the bottom as usual, but immediately passed it back to Santos.

"This is a two-for-one cooperation on the wing of the yellow submarine, beautiful.....Little Santos!"

Santos received the ball behind the opposition full-back and then used his skilled individual technical ability to bring the ball to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Levante's defensive strength has already tilted in this direction. Santos Jr. came near the penalty area line and did not cut in with the ball at the first time. The ball was crossed to the center!

Ye Qi ran forward to catch the team. It was a low-level ball. With his back facing the attacking direction, he pressed the ball that another central defender of the opponent got, and immediately pushed the ball near the penalty area line.

"Ye Qi...his back to play the ball!"

Tilos, who followed up, didn't stop the ball, just swung his legs and hit it!

"Tylos... ouch!" The Spanish commentator felt a little regretful.

The football was kicked into the second-floor stands by Tilos with a long shot, but he didn't hold the ball down.

Tilos made an apologetic gesture towards Ye Qi, and Ye Qi waved his hand to express his indifference.

"Before the game, I thought that this game might be a bit boring, but I didn't expect that the two sides would actually play against each other at the beginning of the game. It can be said that you come and go, and it is very lively!"

Levante's manager stood a little angry on the sidelines because he thought his team had just not done well defensively.

First of all, the defense on the side was useless and was directly penetrated by the opponent.Then the defensive midfielder left his position while defending, and it was too easy for the opponent to shoot just now.

This is the opportunity given by Thilos. If it is replaced by a player with excellent long-range shooting ability, the goal may not be guaranteed to be scored, but at least it will threaten his goalkeeper.

Therefore, the midfielder bears the main responsibility and makes the opponent too easy in his own defensive area.

He understands that this is the impact of the African Cup on his team.

There are five African players in my team, which is generally not too many. After all, there is the Cotonou Agreement, so there are not many African players or players of African descent who play in La Liga.

But the five African players in my team are the main players of the team. Without these five African internationals, the strength of the team will drop a lot.

Among them, the midfielder is mainly affected, because there are mostly midfielders.

A typical example is the absence of midfielder Diop, which reduces the team's midfield barrier a lot.He believes that if Diop is there, it will be difficult for Tilos to get a good shot in that position just now.

African players are indeed good and cheap, but sometimes encountering the Africa Cup of Nations is really a headache.The main reason is that the African Cup is held between January and February, which is when the league is in full swing. It would be better if it is in June and July, which is similar to the European Cup.

The fierce battle between the two sides is in full swing, and it is basically a big opening and closing.

It's just that Levante's shooting quality is indeed a bit worrying, and sometimes he even shoots for the sake of shooting.

On the other side, Villarreal's offense is even more efficient.Every shot from the yellow submarine can make the Levante fans "heartbeat faster".

Especially Ye Qi, he belongs to the kind who might not shoot without a good opportunity, but once he shoots, it is easy to make the opponent's goalkeeper break out in a cold sweat.

In stoppage time in the first half, Cheryshev gave the ball to Santos who came in from the center after breaking through the wing.

Just when Levante's defensive players thought the opponent was going to play a high ball to find Ye Qi, Da Santos suddenly threw the ball back to this side with a diagonal pass.

It's just that it was not Cherishev who caught the ball but the full-back Jaume Costa who came in later. Costa led the ball directly to the bottom of the wing and then made a high pass!

Ye Qi, who followed up from the middle, took off in front of the penalty spot to compete for the top, and finally overwhelmed the opponent's central defender with a header!

The Levante goalkeeper made a save but missed the ball.

Just when everyone thought Ye Qi was about to score twice in the first half, the football "duang" hit the goal crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

"Ye Qi...... wonderful shot!! It's a pity that the football hit the goal crossbar, almost!" the Spanish commentator said.
