Chapter 847: A Blockbuster
"After the start of the game, Chinatown was obviously in better shape and launched frequent attacks. ”
'It was their first game of the season at the Butak Stadium in Leganes, but they looked in great form. ”
"Judging from the opening 20 minutes, it was clear that Chinatown had made a very targeted preparation, and Pochettino should be no stranger to Espanyol, who played for Espanyol as a professional. ”
It is precisely because of familiarity that Pochettino said before the game that the Spaniards are very dangerous. ”
"Look at this attack, Chinatown still passed to the left. ”
'Eden Hazard took the ball, didn't have a chance, passed back. ”
Espanyol focused on Eden Hazard's side on the left side of the game, and the Belgian youngster's performance in the pre-season warm-up match was quite eye-catching, which attracted the attention of the Spaniards. ”
'The Spaniards were also pressing in the middle of Chinatown and we saw Michu drop back from the front. ”
The player, who originally played for Celta Vigo in La Liga, had always played in midfield, but Pochettino pushed him up front in this game, and judging by the performance at the beginning of the game, it was not bad. ”
"Look at this time, Michu dropped back to get the ball and passed it to James Rodriguez. ”
"The Colombian midfielder dribbled forward, dribbled past the defender, and Chika made a successful break. ”
"But the ball didn't fly far, and Michu cut in from behind......"
"Just hit the door!"
"The ball is in!!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the twenty-third minute, the twenty-third minute of the game, the Spanish player Michu, who had just moved to Chinatown this summer, scored his first league goal on his season debut!"
It was a long-range shot from the edge of the box, and Michu played very smartly, and he accurately judged that Espanyol goalkeeper Kameni would save in the right direction, so he deliberately hit a landing bounce ball, which completely disarmed Kameni. ”
"1-0, Chinatown, which was playing at home, scored first. ”
…………
…………
In the TV footage, the attacker Michu excitedly rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way to the bottom of the stands.
Behind him, the players from Chinatown also rushed up and surrounded him.
Scoring on his debut, especially with such a wonderful long-range shot, Michu showed good attacking form.
"What a coincidence this kid had. Manchester City's chief assistant coach Brian Kidd laughed and praised.
At this moment, Gao Han is sitting in Manchester City's Carrington training base, accompanied by members of the coaching staff to watch the live broadcast of La Liga, because Manchester City's game is more than La Liga's one day.
"James Rodriguez suddenly stepped forward with the ball, attracting the attention of three defenders, which opened up space for Michu, but in the face of the incoming ball clearing, he shot directly with his foot, this kid is really interesting. Buenaventura also laughed.
As Gao Han's assistant for many years, he is also quite affectionate towards Chinatown.
"Judging from the performance from the beginning to the present, at least the million euros have not been spent in vain. 'Sergio Garcia is more realistic, and Michu's goal is enough to be optimistic about his prospects.
The assistants discussed word by word, but Gao Han always looked at the live broadcast with a smile on his face.
Soon, he saw manager Mauricio Pochettino shouting at his celebrating players, as if he was reminding them how to play after a goal, how to deal with stubborn comebacks and so on.
Pochettino wore a crisp suit tonight and still looked very attractive.
"The game has just begun. Gao Han laughed.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, and they couldn't guess whether Gao Han Gao looked at Chinatown, or if they didn't figure it out.
If you want to talk about Espanyol, it is not a weak team in La Liga, ranked ninth in the league last season, the results can be described as good, and there is only a ranking gap with Chinatown, even if the start is unfavorable, so that Chinatown occupies the advantage of passing and control, but it will not be slaughtered by others, how can it be evenly matched?
The game restarted, China Town was not in a hurry after a goal in hand, but it was Espanyol, who were one goal behind away, and this tenacious team began to fight back towards China Town, hoping to equalize in the shortest possible time.
The situation on the pitch left Chinatown a little passive, but Pochettino's side began to hold on to the defence and waited for a counter-attack.
In the 31st minute, Chinatown finally seized its chance.
After Otamendi broke the ball, he quickly passed to the midfield, Schneiderlin passed to the left, and Hazard advanced along the left with the ball, but the Spaniard was also very quick to return and did not give Hazard a chance to cut into the box.
But just when everyone thought that the Spaniards were going to defend this attack, they saw Chinatown left-back Alba suddenly cut in quickly from behind, very fast, and Hazard also made the ball back.
I only saw Alba cut to the middle after receiving the ball, rolled the ball with his left foot, and passed the ball diagonally to the top of the arc.
At this time, Michu, who was a slow beat, came late from behind, stopped forward in the face of Alba's pass, rolled into the penalty area, blocked the Spaniard's central defender with his body, and after catching up with the ball, he shot with his left foot.
The ball went into the net again and Kameni couldn't do anything about the near-dead shot.
The TV was once again filled with the crazy sound of the Spanish commentator's goal, and the entire Leganés Butak Stadium was in a frenzy, with only 12,000 fans in the stands, and the game was packed, with all the fans shouting wildly.
And in the stadium, Michu, who had just scored a brace, was also excited.
No one would have thought that this midfielder, who scored the most goals in a single season in La Liga, scored twice on his debut in Chinatown in La Liga this season, which is really surprising.
"Now he's more than a million euros. Sergio Garcia said with a grin.
He looked as if he had accidentally picked up money.
But everyone felt that he was right.
Judging from Pochettino's line-up in this game, Michu came in place of Diego Costa, and he also proved his quality and potential to everyone with a brace, but in the eyes of professionals, the most important thing is his performance.
'He played too smartly. Brian Kidd praised.
"Normally, a player as smart as him is not too lucky. ”
Everyone laughed for a while, but it was indeed the truth.
Many fans think that the players were lucky enough to pick up a goal in the game, but in reality it may not be.
It's like Michu just now, his speed is indeed slow, but not as slow as just now, especially when he has a short-distance acceleration sprint at the last time, throwing off the defenders and seizing the most powerful position, which gives him the opportunity to stop the ball and get into the penalty area.
So, the slowness in front of him was deliberate.
"This kid is such a talent, where did you get him?" asked Brian Kidd, curious.
After hearing this, everyone also looked at Gao Han, and their eyes were full of admiration.
After letting Falcao go, Diego Costa jumped on the bandwagon.
But now, after the Brazilian striker transferred to Real Madrid, Chinatown immediately introduced a Michu.
Diego Costa sold for 50 million euros, while Michu only had 1 million euros, but Michu scored a brace in this game, which can be said to be a miracle operation.
"I've been staring at him for a long time, we played against Celta Vigo in La Liga before, he did well, Celta Vigo knew me last season, and it just so happened that our scouts also paid attention to him, so I paid attention to it, and I thought it was a good seedling, so I ......"
In the end, Gao Han also shrugged his shoulders innocently, saying that he didn't expect him to perform so well at all.
He scored twice on his debut, which was absolutely unexpected.
But a high starting point is a double-edged sword, the advantage is that Michu became famous in one fell swoop, gained everyone's trust, and gained a firm foothold, but the disadvantage is that everyone will pay attention to him, and the requirements for him will also be improved, and even he himself may be under pressure.
However, Gao Han believes that Pochettino will be prepared for these things.
"Sometimes, I really want to get you and slice your eyes to see how they are different from ours, how can you see people so accurately?" asked Brian Kidd, rather distressed.
Gao Han pursed his lips, indicating that he didn't understand either.
And in his case, the general reaction of all people is intuition.
Perhaps Gao Han has an amazing intuition when it comes to looking at people, just as he does when he seizes the timing of the game.
"The attendance at the Butak Stadium was good, it was full, and I guess there were a lot of locals in Leganes, right?" asked Sergio Garcia with a smile.
Gao Han nodded slightly, "It's really a lot, many of this season's season tickets were bought by fans in surrounding towns such as Leganes and Alcorcon, but the main force is still Fuenlafrada." ”
As Chinatown begins to develop and promote the fan market in the southern suburbs of Madrid, Gao Han believes that more and more fans from the surrounding areas will enter the home stadium of Chinatown and even become fans of Chinatown.
The reason is very simple, there is only one La Liga team in the entire southern suburbs, and even if it is counted in the Getafe region, Chinatown is also the best La Liga team in the south, and it advocates attacking football, which is very suitable for the taste of Spanish fans.
…………
…………
At the end of the first half, Chinatown walked back to the dressing room thanks to Michel's brace.
However, after the rematch in the second half, the Spaniard significantly increased their defensive efforts against Michu, but in doing so, the wings were given more chances, especially on the left side of Chinatown, where the combination of Eden Hazard and Jordi Alba became more active.
In the 55th minute, it was again Alba's cross from the left that James Rodriguez volleyed the ball into the top right corner of the goal to make it 3-0.
After a 20-minute stalemate, it was not until the 77th minute that substitute Isco passed two defenders in a row in a dribble, and then went straight behind him, Aubameyang used his speed to cut diagonally into the penalty area, grabbed a kick before everyone else, and easily sent the ball into the empty net, 4-0.
It was also the last goal of the game.
Chinatown beat Espanyol 4-0 at home thanks to a brace from Michel Michu and goals from James Rodriguez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
This hearty victory not only made Chinatown get off to a good start to the new season, but also shocked the entire Spanish football world.
What's even more surprising is that due to the impact of the boycott, the first round of La Liga was delayed, and after the second round, China City was at the top of La Liga with a goal difference of four goals.
Michu also made a splash with a brace, tying for top scorer with four other players, including Rossi.
