Today is Depor's first official game in 2013. Due to the absence of many players, the team's lineup has undergone considerable changes.
But what makes Yunsheng regretful is that not all three new players can appear in the game.
Drogba's transfer has been completed, but the procedures for Beckham's free transfer and Henry's loan are still under review. Because these two transfers involved registration with UEFA and the North American Football Association, the procedures were a bit cumbersome. Although the two had arrived at Deportivo early, they were still not eligible to play in the game.
According to the latest developments in the United States, maybe Beckham and Henry may miss the game against Real Madrid on January 12. This makes Yunsheng quite anxious and urges the club's transfer department employees to handle it as soon as possible.
Fortunately for Beckham, Henry was only on loan for two months, but ended up being unable to play for more than ten days, which was really troublesome.
It takes so long to complete a small procedure, bureaucracy kills people.
In this game, Deportivo deployed a 4-3-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Navas, defenders from left to right are Salomono, Zhang Linpeng, Lucio and Miranda, and the three midfielders from left to right are Ronaldo, Pogba and Gattuso, the two shadow forwards are Wu Lei and Oliveira, and the center Drogba.
Depor's biggest shortage today is the two full-backs and midfielder.
Due to the absence of Balzaretti and Maicon, two young players from the youth training have appeared. These two people have more than enough hard work but lack of experience and may become the opponent's key offensive breakthrough.
Without Riquelme and Belleron in the middle, Yunsheng can only rely on two young stars, Ronaldo and Pogba, to carry out organizational tasks. In this way, they will not be of great help to the frontcourt. The forward's offensive pressure increased rapidly.
The problems Yun Sheng expected were reflected at the beginning of the game.
Facing the opponent's fierce attack, Depor was under a lot of pressure at the beginning.
Although there are few top superstars in the Espanyol team, their team's overall cooperation is good. Facing two young full-backs from Deportivo, he frequently created opportunities.
In the 22nd minute of the game, the Spaniard used an attack from the left, causing a foul on Miranda. In the free kick in the frontcourt, captain Halke headed the ball towards the top of the goal. He headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area and the ball went into the net!
1 to 0! The Spaniards are ahead!
Depor did not get off to a good start. Yun Sheng on the sidelines cheered the players loudly, asking everyone to cheer up and not be affected by the loss of the ball.
Li Tie murmured to Guti on the side: "The boss has never been anxious about losing the ball before, but today he is a little anxious."
Guti shook his head slightly: "Riquelme is not here, and Belleron is not here either. Now the team is one goal behind. There are young people in the midfield and frontcourt, and they lack people to cheer up."
At this time, it's not like no one is encouraging morale on the court.
Veterans Gennaro Gattuso and Lucio shouted loudly to encourage the young people, but on the offensive line, young people such as Ronaldo and Pogba still appear to be impetuous.
After Depor lost the ball, the midfielders and frontcourt players also worked hard to equalize the score as soon as possible. However, the Spaniard's defense ranks among the best in La Liga. Goalkeeper Casilla is in excellent condition and veteran central defender Capdevila is in charge. The back line and defensive front work well together.
Although Ronaldo and Pogba are good at passing and attacking, compared with Riquelme and Belleron, they still lack the ability to solve problems on their own.
This situation lasted until the 41st minute of the game.
This time it was an offensive opportunity on the left. Salomão took advantage of his physical fitness and speed to quickly penetrate near the opponent's penalty area, causing defensive chaos. Ronaldo suddenly moved forward and got a chance to pass the ball on the edge of the penalty area!
"Ronaldo passed the ball into the penalty area! Wu Lei volleyed and shot! The ball was saved by Casilla!"
"Oliviera shot from behind again! The ball was blocked by veteran center back Capdevila's shovel!"
"Depor failed to score with two consecutive shots!"
"The ball is still in the penalty area, and two Spanish defenders are rushing towards the ball!"
"Drogba went up! He knocked away two defenders by himself!"
"Forced a shot from the edge of the penalty area! The ball went in!!!"
"At the end of the first half, Depor finally equalized the score!"
"Two tall defensive players couldn't stop the 'Warcraft'! His impact is still the best in the world!"
"1 to 1! The two teams are finally back on the same starting line!"
Returning to the European competition, Drogba scored a great goal!
He rushed to the side of the court and hugged coach Yun Sheng tightly!
"Didier! You should come to Deportivo in the summer! If you return to La Liga early, you will be the most powerful striker in La Liga this season!"
"It's not too late! Boss, I'm sure the La Liga championship is ours!"
"Hahaha! Don't forget the King's Cup! Our goal this season is to win the double crown!"
In the next few minutes, neither side scored again, and the score remained 1-1.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. This time it was Depor's turn to perform.
Less than three minutes into the game, Depor scored!
This time it was Ronaldo's precise through ball from the left. Wu Lei succeeded in countering the offside, catching the Espanyol team off guard!
With a single goal, Wu Lei helped the team overtake the score!
2 to 1! Depor finally takes the lead!
Ten minutes later, it was Wu Lei's wonderful performance again.
Drogba attracted the opponent's attention in the middle of the penalty area, and Oliveira made a pass that was slightly off.
Drogba did not win the ball, but the ball was defended by Wu Lei who was shooting from behind!
A shot from the back post and the ball hit the net!
3 to 1! Depor expanded the score!
In the 71st minute of the game, this time it was Zhang Linpeng who advanced from the backcourt. After switching positions with right back Miranda, he reached the front of the penalty area on the right!
Cross from the bottom and the ball goes straight to the center!
Drogba header bomb! Casilla hit the ball with both fists!
Wu Lei made a supplementary shot from the top of the penalty area! The shot went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball went in! ! !
4 to 1! Wu Lei performed a hat trick!
Now Depor has an absolute advantage. In order to preserve his strength, Yun Sheng replaced Wu Lei with Domingos.
When Wu Lei came off the field, the Spanish fans in the stands gave him respectful applause!
This young Chinese forward is an absolute superstar today! He conquered the El Prat Stadium with a hat trick!
Wu Lei, who had just been soaring on the court, now showed a shy smile. He waved to the stands to say thank you, his face as green as a teenager.
This Chinese young man who is about to turn 21 years old has won respect for Chinese football in La Liga!
Seeing this rare scene, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was also applauding his compatriots.
In the parallel world of later generations, Wu Lei once played for Espanyol and scored many wonderful goals, especially the goal that tied Barcelona 2-2, which won the applause of countless home fans.
Today, the Spanish fans gave their applause to this young opponent and showed their respect for his hat trick.
Somehow, maybe there really is some kind of special fate that connects many things together...
