The green devil

The Spaniard beat Monaco at home is not an upset.

The Spaniard has created many miracles last season.

Before the game, both reporters and fans were optimistic about the Espanyol winning at home.

But the Espanyol won so cleanly and did not give Monaco an away goal, which was beyond many people's expectations.

After the game, the Spanish media praised the Spaniard's performance.

""World Sports Daily": 2:0, the Espanyol team cleanly won the powerful Monaco at home, and now they are one step closer to their Champions League dream. Their core Zhao Yang continued his excellent performance in the league, taking all With all two goals, if he can enter the Champions League, he is still the most important striker for the Spaniard.

"Daily Sports Daily": A perfect victory!The Spaniards made their debut in the Champions League, but they performed impeccably!Did not let Monaco take away even an away goal.After the first game, the Spaniard almost entered the Champions League with one foot. "

"Aspen": The Spaniard performed well and was able to win Monaco at home, thanks to the performance of Zhao Yang and Lopez.Especially the former Real Madrid veteran Lopez, he didn't practice with the team for a day, but he became the pinnacle of the backcourt.

In China, this Champions League play-off has also attracted widespread attention.

All the major portal websites reported in the most prominent positions, and even CCTV broadcast the results of the match immediately.

Although there were players from Huaguo who participated in the UEFA Champions League before Zhao Yang, they hadn't scored a goal yet, and those were all substitute players, whose influence was incomparable to that of a star like Zhao Yang.

After the game, Zhao Yang's social software was also "captured" by fans, and there were messages from fans wanting to give Zhao Yang a monkey everywhere.And there are not only female fans, but also many male fans.

There are also more serious messages, for example, I hope Zhao Yang will enter the Champions League match, and complete the regret that Huaguo players did not score in the Champions League.

I also hope that Zhao Yang will stay healthy and lead the Hua Guo team to the World Cup.

Of course, these social software are basically managed by Zhao Yang's agent. Except for some important information, Zhao Yang basically doesn't read it, and he can't read it.

After the first round of the Champions League play-offs, Zhao Yang immediately started training.

This season's La Liga kicks off in three days, and the Espanyol will face Sevilla in the first round.

This is a difficult opponent. After a difficult Champions League play-off, the Spaniard must work harder if they want to not be beaten by Sevilla.

Due to the excellent performance of the Spaniard last season, the warm-up match and the Champions League play-offs of this season have been won consecutively, which has greatly increased the number of fans of the Spaniard in Barcelona.In the away game against Sevilla, more than 3000 Spanish fans went to cheer with the team.

Sevilla has always been a mid-upstream team in La Liga. Although they ranked seventh in the league last season, they won the Europa League. This is the third consecutive year they have won the Europa League.

Last season, the Espanyol team was able to win the Champions League seat, in fact, it also benefited from Sevilla's focus on the Europa League, which may win the championship.

This summer, Sevilla is the team with the biggest lineup change among all La Liga teams.

The meritorious coach Emery won the Europa League for three consecutive years, and was immediately poached by the new local tycoon Paris Saint-Germain with a high salary.

It was Sevilla's iron waist Krehowiak who left with Emery.

Then the main striker Gameiro went to Atletico Madrid, the deputy Koke moved to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, Reyes moved to the Espanyol on a free transfer, and Banega moved to Inter Milan on a free transfer.

Although Sevilla has main players and absolute main players leaving in various positions, a lot of fresh blood has also been added to all fronts.

After the new head coach Argentine Sampaoli took office, Sevilla won all six warm-up matches in the summer, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The opening game will face a strong opponent like Sevilla, and there will be a life-and-death battle with Monaco in the Champions League play-offs in the middle of the week.

It is difficult for a team like the Spaniard to have it both ways.

The club’s top executives also have a clear understanding of their team, and they are not proud of their 2-0 home lead in the Champions League play-offs. They told Sergio that the league has no performance requirements for Sevilla, as long as they don’t play Just hurt morale too much.

This can be regarded as a decompression for the coaches and players.

Although the club did not make a request, Sergio has his own ideas about this game.

Sevilla must have been strong last season, but this season almost changed more than half of their main lineup. It's hard to say what their strength is. In the first league game, winning or losing has a great impact on the morale of the team.

Sergio intends to use the first half to try out the quality of the new champions of the Europa League, and then make plans.

In order to allow the players to get more rest time, the club chartered a plane to send the players to Seville to participate in the game.

After stepping on the field at the Pizjuan Stadium, Sergio accepted an interview with reporters. He expressed his respect for the Sevilla team and also expressed his hope that he could get a good start in the league.

Regarding Sevilla's new head coach Sampaoli, Sergio admitted that he didn't know much about it. He only knew that he was a very offensive coach.

Regarding whether Zhao Yang will start, Sergio told reporters that it is a secret, and he will know until tomorrow.

The next afternoon, the two managers met in a pre-match press conference where Sampaoli announced his starting XI.

After hearing this, the reporters present were all stunned. Even Sergio was fooled. He thought Sampaoli was joking.

Because Sampaoli formed a strange formation that he had never seen before, and he had never even thought about it.

It looks like it's 352, but it's actually more like 217.

Except goalkeeper Rico.Mercado and Pareja are central defenders, Nzonzi is a defensive midfielder, and Mariano is a full-back. These are people who have nothing to do with defense.And the rest of the bunch are pure attackers.

Book.Yedder is a striker from Ligue [-].

Vietto is a striker on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Vazquez is the king of Serie A.

Sarabia was Getafe's attacking midfielder last season.

Hiroshi Kiyotake is a Japanese attacking midfielder.

Vitolo is a winger bought by Las Palmas.

If such a starting 11 is true, Sergio thinks he can imagine beating Sevilla at the Pisjuan Stadium.

Here, Espanyol has gone five straight seasons without a win.
