The green devil

Bakayoko didn't dare to let Zhao Yang pass, and stretched out his hand horizontally, trying to bring Zhao Yang down with a tactical foul.

Zhao Yang crossed Bakayoko and accelerated very fast, but Bakayoko failed to catch it in a hasty grab, and was escaped by Zhao Yang.

The Monaco players had long been prepared for Bakayoko to be passed. As soon as Zhao Yang made a breakthrough, two more players came to flank him.

Center back Jamerson stood in front to guard against Zhao Yang's long-range shot, while full-back Raj stepped up from the side.

Zhao Yang didn't want to get into a fight with the defender, so he immediately split sides and found the winger Piatti who was on the side.

Taking advantage of the opponent's defender retracting, Piatti quickly bottomed out.

Bakayoko, who had just been passed by Zhao Yang, was chasing after Piatti.

Piatti went down to the bottom line, and didn't have time and energy to observe, so he passed directly to the penalty area.

In the middle, Zhao Yang and Caicedo have already outflanked the penalty area.

Another striker, Moreno, also ran to the back point.

Monaco goalkeeper Subasic saw that the situation was very dangerous, so he attacked decisively, leaped high before Zhao Yang, and punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

Zhao Yang rushed very hard, jumped very high, couldn't contain his body, and collided with goalkeeper Subasic.

When the goalkeeper jumped up, he habitually raised his knees to protect himself. Zhao Yang couldn't dodge it, so he could only twist his body to the maximum and meet Subasic's knee with his back.

Both Zhao Yang and Subasic fell in the penalty area, and at the same time tripped defender Glick.

The penalty area fell into a ball, and the ball flew to the outside of the penalty area and fell to Diop's feet.

Diop saw the goalkeeper fell down and was getting up, facing a half-empty goal, he was very excited, and just kicked the ball in the air.

The volley was already difficult to hit, but Diop tried his best to hit the ball, and the ball flew directly into the stands without holding it down.

A good opportunity to hit the plane, Diop squatted on the ground holding his head in frustration.

Many fans in the stands were already ready to celebrate, but when they saw this outrageous shot, they all sat down again in disappointment.

However, seeing Zhao Yang lying in the penalty area and not getting up, the disappointed fans stood up again.

Zhao Yang was injured?

If Zhao Yang is injured, it will be more serious than Diop missing a good chance.

In the eyes of Espanyol fans, the miracle of the Espanyol this season was created by Zhao Yang and Asensio. With Zhao Yang, it is possible to create a miracle. Without Zhao Yang, this game may not be able to pass.

Huaguo commentator He Wei was even more anxious. Zhao Yang was more important to the Huaguo team than the Spaniard. Without Zhao Yang, there would be no hope for the top 12 match in two weeks.

"Zhao Yang should be fine? I seem to have seen him turn his lower body, probably his back was pushed."

What He Wei said was not firm enough, and his tone was full of anxiety.

Liu Jia shook his head, looked at it for a while, and said pleasantly: "It's okay, Zhao Yang got up, but his expression was a little painful, and he covered his waist with his hands."

He Wei relaxed and said, "It's fine if you can stand up by yourself. Zhao Yang must not be injured, he is too important to the Spaniards. This Monaco team is not weak."

Liu Jia said: "They are very strong. Without Zhao Yang, the Spaniards are not easy to fight."

Zhao Yang stood up!

The fans and players on the field breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yang covered his waist and glared at the goalkeeper Subasic. This guy is really ruthless. If he didn't turn his body around and was hit head-on by him, he would probably go into shock.

Although the Espanyol team failed to score a goal in this wave of offense, they completed several threatening shots, which greatly boosted the morale of the players.

After this wave of counterattacks, the Spaniard's players obviously relaxed their mentality and gradually entered the game state, passing the ball much more smoothly.

The fans of the home team in the stands also slowly became excited. Most of them stopped eating snacks and chatting, and devoted all their attention to the game.

Die-hard fans have begun to sing the Espanyol's anthem to cheer for the players.

France, Spain, and Portugal are mostly European Latin style of play, focusing on technology and passing, and Monaco is this style of play.

The Spaniards are an alternative in La Liga. They are more like a British or German team, paying more attention to physical confrontation and prefer defensive counterattacks.

Even if they were playing at home, the Spaniard didn't get much possession of the ball, and more of them were stealing the ball and counterattacking.

There is no chance to counterattack, and the main way to get the ball is to pass from the wing to the bottom, or directly attack with a long pass.

This style of play, coupled with Zhao Yang who is scoring goals like a ball, is quite effective in La Liga.

But the effect against Monaco today was not good.

Although Monaco's two full-backs often assist in the frontcourt, their speed is extremely fast. When the Spaniard counterattacks, they can basically return in time.

In the position of the central defender, Jamerson and Glick's one high and one fast can also ensure that when the Spaniard counterattacks, no one can catch up with the opponent's forward.

Monaco had more possession of the ball in the game, but they were rarely able to get the ball into the Spaniard's penalty area.

Of course, many of the Spaniard's counterattacks were not destroyed by Monaco, and they failed to form a threatening shot.

In the 203rd minute of the game, Monaco was tossing and turning outside the Spaniard's offensive third area. In the end, Lemar lost his patience and dribbled the ball along his ribs to the Spaniard's penalty area.

The Espanyol team has opened their pockets and is waiting for their opponents to dive in.

Central defender Gonzalez, full-back Alvarez, and Piatti, who followed Lemar, surrounded him and directly intercepted Lemar's ball.

Gonzalez called Piatti, and Piatti immediately passed the ball to Zhao Yang who was just about to come back to meet him.

Zhao Yang turned around to catch the ball, almost at the same time passed a straight pass to Caicedo, and rushed forward to meet Caicedo.

Caicedo took the ball with his back, but did not turn around. He paused for a while, and knocked the ball back to Zhao Yang before the opponent came up.

Zhao Yang was near the middle circle when he received the ball, and he had already passed the middle circle when he received Caicedo's knockback.

Seeing that there is already an open area in front of him, Zhao Yang took the ball forward and dribbled it straight to the penalty area of ​​Monaco.

Caicedo moved and took away defender Glick, and another central defender Jamerson and Fabinho came over at high speed to pinch Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang didn't think about Fabinho running from behind, and dribbled the ball straight to Jamerson at high speed.

Zhao Yang rushed over extremely fast, with more momentum, as if he had no defensive players at all.

Jamerson was intimidated by Zhao Yang. Originally, he could fight and retreat, waiting for Fabinho to come, but under the pressure of Zhao Yang's momentum, he rushed directly to Zhao Yang, trying to stop Zhao Yang with a foul.

Although Zhao Yang rushed fiercely, he was very calm in his heart. During the high-speed sprint, Zhao Yang stepped on the ball with his left foot, pulled his right foot, and Marseille spun around, passing Jamerson's side in a short time.
