Chapter 12: Iglesias

The Cornella El Prat Stadium, home of Espanyol, is not very large for La Liga teams, but it is not very small, built according to UEFA's latest stadium standards, with a total of 40,000 seats.

It's not the first time Hu Xuefei has come to this stadium, but almost two-thirds of the stadium is full, and with the magnificent shouts of the fans, Hu Xuefei has a feeling of being a frog at the bottom of the well.

On the home of La Liga, Real Madrid's Bernabeu and Barcelona's Camp Nou are all first-class high-end stadiums, and they are definitely the top in La Liga. But Hu Xuefei is not envious, the Spaniards also have such a stadium, although it is not up to their crowds now, but Hu Xuefei will create that magnificent scene for this stadium.

Hu Xuefei looked left and right, trying to see where the away team's bench was, there should have been a handshake session, but Hu Xuefei came out slowly, but let Getafe coach Jose walk back to the bench first.

On Getafe's bench, a member of the coaching team was the first to spot Hu Xuefei, who was standing aside waiting for a handshake, and reminded Jose.

Ruoze turned to look at Hu Xuefei, and while walking towards Hu Xuefei, he was also silently looking at Hu Xuefei.

The other party is looking at himself, and Hu Xuefei himself is also looking at the other party.

After the two met and shook hands, they even said hello, then dispersed separately and returned to their benches.

Hu Xuefei was too lazy to say hello, while Jose looked at Hu Xuefei's young face, thinking that he had worked hard for more than 20 years, and he only became the head coach of Alaves at the age of 51.

Hu Xuefei didn't care what the old man of the away team's head coach thought, he stood on the home team's command area with a grim expression, facing the court, and now, the game has officially begun.

With the referee's whistle blowing, accompanied by the cheers and excitement of Espanyol fans, the first game of the Espanyol League officially started.

"Good evening, friends and spectators, and welcome to the first round of the 2018-2019 La Liga season, and Espanyol vs. Getafe.

Now, attacking from left to right is the blue and white Spaniards in the home team shirt, while Getafe in the away red shirt on the other flank.

Let's first introduce to you the starting eleven lineups sent by the two teams.

The Spaniards sent out a 4141 formation today!

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez

Backline: Villa, Ermeso, Naldo, Rosales.

Defender: Semedo

Midfielders: Piarte, Roca, Dadel, Pérez

Forward: Iglesias.

After talking about the Spaniards, let's take a look at Getafe's formation, today it was a 4411 formation.

Goalkeeper: David Soria

Defence: Ferkier, Cabrera, Brujo, Dienne

Midfielders: Antunes, Markle, Moro Alambari, Maksimovic

Forward: Portillo

Centre: Juan Mata.

Compared to last season, the new Espanyol coach has almost put his new signings in the main position, can striker Iglesias make a breakthrough for his Bole Snow Flying Hu? Duddell showed his quality last season, can this season be continued? Immediately, this game will give our fans, viewers and friends an accurate answer. ”

After some explanation by the on-site commentators, the Spaniard, who was the first to serve, had already advanced the football to the Getafe half.

At this time, it was Pérez on the right who took the ball.

Before the game, Hu Xuefei told Pérez that this reassuring breakthrough, Getafe's left satellite TV Antunes, a player who is more defensive, so there is no need to worry.

Pérez took Hu Xuefei's instructions to heart, and after getting the football, he faced the bag of Antunes, Markle and Portillo and broke through directly.

Pérez pushed with his right foot, and before the three-man encirclement had fully contracted, he first pushed the ball out of the encirclement, and then planned to break through with his excellent explosiveness.

Pérez's simple and brutal breakthrough method naturally didn't work.

After losing control of the ball that was pushed away by Pérez, he did not wait for Pérez to return, but was broken by Markle with an outstretched kick and poked out of the touchline.

Hu Xuefei was on the sidelines to cheer for Perez's thunderous breakthrough just now, and he hoped that the 10cp morale boost he used in the locker room could score in the opening game, so Hu Xuefei spared no effort to encourage his players to press forward.

The Spaniard's forward press was clearly expected by Getafe, who shrank into their own half for the opening eight minutes in an attempt to hold on to the Spaniard's fierce attack in the first 15 minutes.

Pérez tried again to break down the right flank, this time on the touchline after Getafe's Vrkier broke through.

The breakthrough provided the Spaniards with a good chance to attack in the 30-metre area of Getafe.

Rosales stepped forward to send a sideline ball, and Pérez leaned on the opponent and headed directly into the box. Ferkier didn't expect Rosales' sideline ball to be thrown so far, and he didn't expect Pérez to head directly into the box, and in a moment of hesitation, Pérez grabbed a favorable position.

Also unexpected, with Ferkier, was Iglesias, whose football was pushed into the area controlled by the Getafe players by Pérez, who did not even turn around to receive the ball.

Cabrera pushed the danger in and out and was picked up by the striker Portillo.

Portillo, who went in on the periphery, received the ball, turned around and happened to turn around.

"Pérez's header into the box, Cabrera cleared, the ball went directly to Portillo, Portillo broke through with the ball, there were no Espanyol players around him! Oh my God! Torres, the on-site commentator, exclaimed, and then saw Portillo being surrounded by Semedo and Roca to pass back to Antunes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Antunes saw that there was no passing option in front of him, and his center forward Mata was still rushing forward, so he had no choice but to pass back to full-back Ferkier again.

The Spaniard's attack down the right was unsuccessful, with Pérez and Iglesias getting up straight to press for Ferquier, who had just won the ball.

Ferkier pressed the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Getafe goalkeeper David Soria also didn't want to keep the ball in the 30-metre area of his own half, so he sent it back to the Espanyol half with a big kick.

Striker Mata relied on his height of 183 to grab the first drop point of the football, but there were no teammates of his own in the 10 meters around him, and the football was snatched by Semedo again.

Semedo's loan signing is a transfer activity after Hu Xuefei gathered the coaching team, and Hu Xuefei originally wanted to directly transform Roca into an all-round midfielder, responsible for the midfield sweep, and then add Granero as a forward midfielder to increase the attacking strength.

However, Chopper and other coaches thought that it would increase the danger at the back of the team, so they loaned Semedo from Benfica as a midfielder.

Semedo is the most suitable as an interception midfielder, with a certain ability to play and pass the ball, and pass to Roca or Dadel as soon as possible after intercepting the ball, which is the result of several warm-up games.

This time, Semedo grabbed a header from Getafe striker Juan Mata and went straight to Roca.

After Roca got the ball, he didn't wait for Portillo to come up and grab it, and directly made a long pass with a big foot and sent the ball to 3 meters in front of Pérez.

Suddenly, Pérez became a natural gap in front of and behind him.

Before Ferkier and Antunes were aware of the gap, Pérez left them behind first, and when the two finally got up to speed to close the encirclement of Pérez, they were ready to deal with Pérez's breakthrough.

Pérez didn't rush this time.

Pérez looked up and saw that Iglesias was ready in the box early, and without a little hesitation, he made a long pass into the box from a 45-degree angle.

Without any interference, Pérez comfortably made a beautiful line past Cabrera and landed over Iglesias.

At this time, Iglesias's strength at 16 points came into play, and Iglesias made a big hand and directly stopped Bruro behind him, protecting his chicks like an eagle catching a hen in a chick.

Brujo was originally a central defender, 183 height, when facing a tall center forward like Iglesias, it was very difficult, he originally relied on the card position and accurate judgment of the landing point to eat, but now Iglesias occupies a favorable position, he has already thought about the later ending.

Not surprisingly, Iglesias jumped up just in time to hit the ball, and Brujo under him did not give Iglesias a slight obstacle, and comfortably directed the ball to the near corner of the goal.

The Spaniards attacked as fast as they came. The attack was so fast that the Getafe goalkeeper was unprepared. Iglesias' header threatened the goal he was guarding directly.

In a hurry, Soria did not stop the football.

The ball flew towards the top right corner of the goal, past goalkeeper Soria's ten fingers, and into the goal.

"goal................................................... the goal went in, the goal went in, Espanyol striker Iglesias scored with his first shot, he started perfectly with Espanyol, Espanyol broke the deadlock first, Espanyol took the lead !!" Torres was going crazy, he didn't expect the Spaniard to score so quickly, it was a fantastic start.

He wanted to be neutral, but he couldn't restrain himself at all. He shouted: "We scored, the Spaniards took the lead." ”

Hu Xuefei on the sidelines raised his arms and accepted the hugs of the coaching team on the bench.

"It's too powerful, Iglesias is too powerful, this time he completely suppressed Brujo." Chopper used all the words of praise in the world to praise Iglesias' header in Hu Xuefei's ear.

And, what about Hu Xuefei? Of course, it's a 'can I choose a player who is not good'.

The game was 10 minutes and 24 seconds into 1-0, and striker Iglesias helped Espanyol lead Getafe.
