The green devil

The day before the game against Real Madrid, Espanyol coach Sergio.Gonzalez announced the 18-man roster for the next day's match. Zhao Yang and Diop were both on the list, while the talented teenager Asensio was unable to play against Real Madrid because of the avoidance rules.

Chinese fans were all overjoyed, and many immediately decided to go to Barcelona to watch the game live.

A Chinese face will finally appear in the La Liga arena.Almost all Chinese media reported the news on important pages, saying that it would create the history of Chinese football.

Zhao Yang's mobile phone, WeChat, QQ, Twitter, Facebook and other communication tools and social software are almost full of messages, all congratulating Zhao Yang.

And Zhao Yang was very excited, but not surprised.

Before the big list was announced, head coach Sergio talked with Zhao Yang.

"Whoever plays and who doesn't, the coaching staff has their own exams. You were not allowed to enter the squad in the first two games because of tactical needs. Tomorrow's game, you may have a chance to play. I hope you prepare well."

Sergio told Zhao Yang with a cold face.

Sergio also knew the result of the match against Real Madrid. The Espanyol team could not beat Real Madrid, so Sergio also planned to train newcomers like Zhao Yang and Diop.

I just heard from the team CEO Guasco that Zhao Yang’s agent put pressure on the team and asked Zhao Yang to play. Sergio was a little upset and planned to remove Zhao Yang from the squad again to teach his agent some lessons. .

But Guasco implicitly said that the club's boss Chen paid close attention to the game and had afternoon tea with him.

Sergio understood what it meant as soon as he heard it. Although he was upset, he didn't dare to confront the boss, so he pinched his nose and put Zhao Yang in the 18-man roster, but he was determined not to give Zhao Yang a chance to play for even one minute. .

Hearing what Sergio said, Zhao Yang knew that he was not happy about his agent Martinez putting pressure on the team.

It's just that Zhao Yang is also very helpless. He has been on the bench for two games. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he may not be able to enter the squad for the game against Real Madrid. As for the others, we can talk about it after the game.

The next morning, Real Madrid came to the Espanyol's home stadium, Cornella El Prat, for adaptive training.

Real Madrid deserves to be the greatest club of the last century, and their away adaptive training attracted thousands of fans to watch.

The opponent is too weak, and he is his younger brother.Naturally, Real Madrid can't cheer up, and the training is also pretentious.

But Real Madrid fans don't care, they are satisfied when they can see their idols.

After the training, head coach Benitez accepted an interview with reporters. He said that the Spaniards are an excellent team. Go all out to win.

Real Madrid star Ronaldo also accepted the reporter's interview.

Ronaldo hopes he can score a hat-trick in this game.He said: "I have scored 225 goals for Real Madrid. As long as I score 3 more goals, I can tie Raul with 228 goals and become the player with the most league goals in the history of Real Madrid. I like to break records and be The best. Of course, it would be even better if I can have a big four, I don't like to share the honor with others."

Ronaldo's words obviously stimulated the players of the Espanyol team. At the press conference before the game, Captain Harvey, who followed the head coach Sergio, was present.Lopez said very bluntly, "C Ronaldo don't want to set a record on us, we will not give him any chance, he should set a record on the next opponent."

Then the coaches of both sides announced the starting 11-man roster.

The Espanyol started with a balanced 4-4-2 formation.

Goalkeeper 13-Paul;

Four backs 23-Albila, 22-A-Gonzalez, 15-Ciani, 3-Duarte;

Four midfielders: 4- Victor Sanchez, 16- Harvey Lopez, 5- Alvarez, 8- Seville;

Double forwards: 7-Moreno, 20-Cicedo

while real madrid

Real Madrid lined up with a 4-5-1 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1-Navas

Defenders: 15-Carvajal, 3-Pepe, 4-Ramos, 12-Marcelo

The midfielders are: 14-Casemiro, 19-Modric, 22-Isco, 11-Bell, 7-C Ronaldo

Forward: 9-Benzema

Zhao Yang knew that it was impossible for him to be in the starting lineup, at most he would play the second half.

But after seeing the starting lineup came out, Zhao Yang was still a bit disappointed that he didn't have his own name.

At 10:[-] in the evening, the match between the Spaniard and Real Madrid officially kicked off.

The Espanyol team at home kicked off first.

In the second round of the first round, the Espanyol team wanted to win and was afraid of losing, so they played very conservatively.

In this game, the Espanyol team had no burden, and from the first minute, they launched an attack on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is not eager to play against their opponents. They are not Barcelona. Defensive counterattacks are what Benitez and Real Madrid are best at.

With the strength of the Espanyol team, if Real Madrid seizes the opportunity, the counterattack will be accurate.

Sure enough, just 5 minutes into the game, Real Madrid seized the opportunity.

The Spaniard failed to attack, and Real Madrid defender Pepe cut off the ball and passed it to Modric.

After Modric stopped the ball, he sent an over-the-top long pass from the backcourt.

Ronaldo has been running laterally around the defender and sees Modric with a long pass.

C Roma immediately changed from running horizontally to running vertically, and inserted behind the defender.

Ronaldo was extremely fast, and neither of the Espanyol's two central defenders could keep up.

Cristiano Ronaldo successfully broke into the left rib of the penalty area against offside, facing goalkeeper Paul with a low right foot shot from the far corner and scored.

1-0 Real Madrid took the lead!

After Ronaldo scored a goal, he jumped up high, roared, and made a very unique shape.

The Espanyol fans booed, while Ronaldo's fans cheered and stared.

After Real Madrid scored a goal, they immediately turned to the guest, changing from a counterattack to an active offense.

This rhythm change was unexpected by the Espanyol team.

In the 10th minute of the game, Real Madrid made continuous passing cooperation at the front of the Spaniard's penalty area. Bell broke into the penalty area and was brought down by Gonzalez. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick and showed Gonzales the first yellow card of the game.

The penalty kick was taken by Ronaldo.

Facing goalkeeper Paulo, Ronaldo volleyed and hit Real Madrid 2-0. Ronaldo scored twice in 10 minutes.

The Espanyol team was beaten.

Although they knew they couldn't win this game, they didn't expect to lose the ball so fast and so hard.

However, the game did not stop. Just when the Espanyol players looked confused, Real Madrid launched a counterattack.

Bell took the ball and ran all the way along the left wing, and no one in the Espanyol team could keep up with him.

After Bale got down to the bottom line, he made a cross. Cristiano Ronaldo inserted into the penalty area at high speed. Before Duarte, he flew the ball into the goal. Just 15 minutes into the game, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and Real Madrid led 3-0.
