Chapter 84: Tarragona

After having dinner with his friends, Guan Xiaolong returned home.

I am still very happy when I think that I am about to play with the team. You may not be able to play, but at least you have a chance.

Guan Xiaolong hummed a little song and walked upstairs.

Just as he was about to open the door, the door of the room across the door suddenly opened, and Felisa said, "Close, you come." ”

Felisa was wearing pajamas, and her originally very loli hairstyle was now completely released, apparently just washed her hair and blown it with a hair dryer, fluffy.

I'll go, this ...... Wouldn't it be too straightforward. Guan Xiaolong's nostrils were steaming, and he thought that he must hold on.

"What for?" Guan Xiaolong asked.

Felisa turned around, took a notebook out, and said, "Give you a task, and ask me for Griezmann's autograph tomorrow." ”

Guan Xiaolong: "......"

I'm going to have a nosebleed, so you're going to tell me this?

"Go yourself!" Guan Xiaolong looked impatient.

"Hey! Guan Xiaolong, if you don't help, you will move out! Felisa exclaimed.

"Why? I've paid the rent, right? Guan Xiaolong retorted.

"Uh...... This is my house, you have to listen to me! "Felisa doesn't care so much.

"Bang! Click! Guan Xiaolong locked the door.

What if Felisa holds a grudge and does something worse to me? Boy paper, be on guard.

Damn, Felisa turned off the electric switch for me......

"Knock knock knock......" Guan Xiaolong knocked on the door.

"Bring it!" Guan Xiaolong said angrily.

"Hey...... Say no, I have to use unconventional means! Felisa was triumphant.

After Guan Xiaolong got the notebook, he couldn't wait to tear him to pieces.

Real Sociedad's home game against Tarragona kicked off on 14 February, with pre-match media predicting that Real Sociedad would bounce back at home.

Real Sociedad haven't won a game in a month since their narrow win away to Celta Vigo on 17 January. The whole team hopes to use the momentum of the home stadium to bounce back and open the door to victory.

Tarragona are now second from bottom and are battling relegation. Their recent record is even worse, losing three games in a row and not winning in the last seven rounds. Coach Sampedro has a head and two big, and this time he played away from home with a formation of 541, and the top priority was to ensure a draw first.

Lasalta's side still has 352, a formation that has been running in for nearly two seasons, and he is very confident in it.

In this game, Ilya Ramendi replaced the injured Diego Rivas and appeared in the starting lineup. The other positions remained the same, with Guan Xiaolong sitting on the bench.

Guan Xiaolong put on the jersey in advance, and then put the substitute training uniform on the outside. I don't know if I can get on it, but I don't waste time preparing for it, so what if I do? Hey.

"Come on Little Dizi, Little Grid!" Guan Xiaolong encouraged from the sidelines.

The Stade Enoeta is not a dedicated football stadium, but a comprehensive stadium integrating athletics, rugby and football. This is very familiar to Guan Xiaolong, because the stadium of the Lions and the Municipal Stadium of Lushi City are also like this. Enoeta is small enough to accommodate more than 32,000 spectators.

Despite Real Sociedad's unfortunate relegation, the Sociedad fans remained unabandoned. This time at home, the stadium was already full. The fans sang the team anthem and gave a round of applause to every Real Sociedad fan who came out.

Even before the game began, the Tarragona players felt a lot of pressure.

The on-site commentary has begun to report the names of the athletes entering the stadium, as well as the status of the substitute lineups of both sides. In Spain, the attention of the second division is also very high, so there are also special TV stations in the country to do live broadcasts.

Faced with such a scene, Guan Xiaolong was already enthusiastic. I hate that I'm on the bench now, and I really want to go on the field and gallop around.

The referee looked at his watch and blew the game on time.

Although the outside world predicts that Real Sociedad will rebound in this game, as a manager, Lasarte is not blindly optimistic. There is a very special phenomenon in La Liga, that is, many low-budget teams, their established tactics are very simple, that is, desperate defense.

So the draw rate in La Liga is very high, don't look at the 22 teams to play 42 rounds, a few more rounds than the top league. But the team that wins the championship may have more than 70 points, because the draw accounts for a third. Real Sociedad this season started with 4 consecutive draws and won in the fifth round.

Here's why it's a painful thing to drop a grade. Many La Liga teams may have a worse record after they fall. Because they don't adapt to the rhythm of the second division, they often struggle for years at once.

One of the big problems for Lassarte tonight was how to break the iron bucket.

Sure enough, as soon as the ball came out, Tarragona took the initiative to hand over possession and the Royal Society attacked.

Ilia Ramendi has adapted well, he is familiar with the rhythm from the first game, and the team is now attacking actively, and his command in midfield is decent.

Soon, Real Sociedad found space and launched an attack towards Tarragona's goal.

Estrada on the left was quick, broke through to the right side of the penalty area and played back to Prieto. Prieto continued to move down the middle, and the ball was at the feet of Ilia Ramendi.

Seeing that the opponent was in a tight position, Elijah Ramendi picked up a pass to the middle. Griezmann scrambled to unload the ball before sweeping a left-footed shot straight away.

"Wow!! What a pity! Griezmann's shot was a little bit wide, it was bad luck! The narrator sighed.

'Judging by Griezmann's movement and start-up speed, the young player is very strong. Tarragona's defenders were too slow to react and turn, and if Real Sociedad had to play along this line, it was only a matter of time before Tarragona conceded the goal. The narrator continued.

Indeed, Tarrago's active defensive style of play will inevitably cause chaos in front of his goal and a lot of pressure on the players.

Then, Ilia Ramendi came with a long-range shot in the penalty area and was held by the goalkeeper. This kick also surprised coach Sampedro in a cold sweat, but fortunately, Ilia Ramendi's kick was more positive.

For the next 40 minutes, Tarragona's goalkeeper was very busy. There are constantly goalposts, opponents outflanking, and sacrificing their own lives to save the ball, which shows how passive Tarragon is on the field.

Tarragon were in a mess, with just one flak shot on goal in the first half, compared to Real Sociedad's eight. However, Tarragona was lucky, Griezmann had a chance to grab a penalty in front of goal, but it was miraculously saved by Tarragona goalkeeper Bute.

Lasarte was so angry that he stomped his foot on the sidelines, thinking that so many shots on goal could not be exchanged for a goal.

At half-time, Real Sociedad and their opponents were temporarily tied.
