Chapter 19: Greatly improved forward appearance

With Levi's first goal since his comeback and Romain Martinez's header in stoppage time.

Valladolid failed to get revenge in the first round of the second half of La Liga.

Espanyol managed to take the three points from the José Soria Stadium 3-1.

During the time of coming on as a substitute, Levi repeatedly staged passes and small areas to get rid of the ball, which suddenly revitalized the Spaniard's offensive line, which made the doubt that Levi's injury would affect his subsequent form disappeared.

The hearts of the fans have finally let go.

This familiar La Liga dark horse is back.

February 1.

The winter transfer market for Europe's top five leagues is closed, and in addition to Arsenal's deal with Arshavin, the transfer in and out of all teams in Europe's top five leagues has finally settled.

Real Madrid's new signing Huntelaar is the European Winter Champion with a value of £24.3 million.

The Premier League has once again become the most money-throwing league in the transfer market, with the 20 Premier League teams spending a total of £143.95 million on the winter transfer market.

The Premier League occupies seven of the top 10 players in Europe's top five leagues in the winter transfer rankings.

And just one Manchester City, occupies 4 of them.

As the winter transfer window closes, Liverpool have officially announced that they have reached an agreement with Tottenham to send striker Robbie Keane, who was brought in last summer, back to Tottenham. A Liverpool spokesperson revealed the news via the official website that the 28-year-old Keane will return to White Hart Lane after just half a season with the Reds if he agrees a personal contract with Tottenham.

At the same time, they will bring in Espanyol midfielder Riera, who was unsuccessful in the summer window.

'It was a difficult decision for me to stay last summer and this half-season has proven that staying at Espanyol was the right choice, we have achieved a lot of results that we have never achieved before, and I know that my departure has disappointed a lot of Espanyol fans who love me. At the same time, I hope that the Anfield fans will be able to believe that I will give my all for the team in the coming years. Liverpool have the best fans and I will repay their support with action. ”

"We're going to work hard for the championship."

Rieira made his announcement through Liverpool's official website.

Levi was linked with a number of teams this winter window, but none of them made a splash in the end.

One of the most sincere is Manchester City, whose owner Mansour himself is said to have praised himself many times in the UAE for his admiration for Levi.

The sheikh's purchase of the team was clearly not a ticket game, but a big game to expand the UAE's prestige and business in Europe.

He said he would buy it at any cost in order to become the cornerstone of the rise of this upstart in football.

Manchester City's offer to Manchester United is a staggering €90 million.

However, based on the name of the team alone, the offer was rejected almost immediately, and the attitude of the United side was that there was no room for negotiation.

As for the successive scandals with Real Madrid, in the end, it was thunder and rain.

Calderón did not end up making a symbolic offer either.

But a piece of news that shocked the entire continental football world followed.

Florentino has officially announced that he will re-run for the presidency of Real Madrid in the summer.

"It's time for the disappointment in Madrid to come to an end and I'm going to bring you a new superstar."

Florentino has been secretive about whether or not to run for the Real Madrid presidency, but one thing is for sure, once he decides to run, it means that he is quite sure that he will re-enter the Bernabeu.

Florentino will first bring Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid, with the former French star set to replace Mijatovic as Real Madrid manager.

As for the superstars who will join, according to the French newspaper "Team", Florentino does not like Calderon's finalized transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, and his target is very clear this time: Bayern Munich's Ribery and Lyon's Benzema and Levy.

"I had a relationship with this young player on the show, when he was just at the end of the second round of La Liga, and he was voted MVP in two consecutive rounds and he was already showing that he was going to score a lot of goals this season."

'I've been very impressed with him and we know he can play in a lot of positions, right and left midfield, centre-forward, shadow striker and midfielder.

Florentino then expressed his intention to repair relations with Manchester United.

'We're going to express our interest properly, it's not about putting pressure on any club on an equal footing, we're going to make an offer afterwards and negotiate mutually acceptable terms.'

In addition, Zidane is said to have persuaded Ribery to leave Bayern Munich and join Real Madrid.

Since the transfer of Figo and Beckham, Real Madrid has not had a good player in the full-back position, and the negotiation to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo has been made more difficult due to Calderon's operational error, and Florentino and Zidane are more targeted by Franck Ribery, who currently plays for Bayern.

However, regarding the identity of Zidane after Florentino's ownership, the statement of "Team Daily" is not consistent with the Spanish media. The newspaper revealed that once Florentino succeeds in his election for the presidency of Real Madrid, Zidane will not hold an important position in the club, and his position will be Real Madrid's world ambassador, which is also something that Zidane promised Florentino when he played for Real Madrid.

And the Spanish media has previously revealed that Florentino actually prefers Zidane to take the position of manager.

The day before the transfer window ended, the Spaniard announced the only signing of the winter window.

Seven million euros were spent to sign a young Brazilian winger from Gremio.

Douglas Costa.

Since, two Costa have appeared in the Spaniard's forward line.

At the same time, the average appearance has also been greatly improved.

On 2 February, Levi started the team's home game against Huelva.

The fans at Mozusey Stadium were in full excitement today, with fans waving flags and scarves in their hands to welcome the returning top scorer.

At the same time, RCDE, Espanyol's new home stadium, has also been announced in recent days, and will be delivered as scheduled this summer.

This also means that Espanyol Club, which has been wandering for seven years, finally has its own stadium again.

"After a lapse of more than a month, Levi made his debut again, and the king returned."

He Wei said excitedly that since Levi loaned Espanyol, the club's game has become a key CCTV broadcast, and his and Xu Yang duo have also been nailed to Espanyol's game.

It can be said that it has won the gold medal of La Liga in the domestic ratings.

But during Levi's absence, the Spaniards' game ratings plummeted.

The people who came to watch the game were all fans, and no one was on it.

Doesn't Barcelona Real Madrid smell good?

'In terms of his performance in the last game, it didn't look like the injury had a big impact on him, which is a blessing in disguise.

The 14th minute of the game.

"Halke cut in and disrupted the advance of Huelva striker Kolenga, the combined strangulation made Huelva's attacking dispatch extremely difficult, Gabi got the ball and quickly transferred the ball to Nene who played a cameo in the front midfield, and the Brazilian midfielder had good footwork and got rid of Aitore's steal and split the ball."

"After Levi took the ball, he gave it to Nene again, Sicinho and Aitore's counter-robbery did not work, the lineup was scattered all of a sudden, and Levi played forward, a very beautiful wall-hitting cooperation."

There were waves of cheers in the Mozuxi Stadium, and such a delicate transmission had not been seen for a long time.

Pochettino took his pragmatism to the extreme after Levy's injury, ensuring that the team was able to take advantage of counter-attacking opportunities and pick up points consistently.

But the style of play is certainly not good enough, and who wouldn't want to watch beautiful football?

The two commentators also felt that their long-lost passion and excitement returned.

"Nene stuffed the ball to Levi again, this ball is a bit big, Cesar Arso will rush this way again, beautiful!"

After Huelva defender Cesar Arso blocked his position, Levi first took the ball and then cut through with his heel diagonally in front of him.

Then the whole person quickly moved laterally with the ball outside the penalty area, and then took a shot with his feet, attracting Alan Never to block with his back.

He delicately slipped the ball away from him and gave it to Tamudo in the box.

"Fake shot, real pass! Chic freehand! ”

Tamudo fended off a defender and pushed the ball, which hit a bit of a target, and Huelva goalkeeper Lethgo quickly blocked the ball with a quick hand.

Then he rushed to the top of the arc to receive the ball and burst into the shot, and the ball drilled over the head of the goalkeeper who had not yet stabilized his center of gravity.

"It's in!"

Levi and a few of his teammates rushed over and touched Nene on the head, before the Brazilian midfielder excitedly ran to the sidelines and performed a series of very fancy dance celebrations.

'The impact of Levi's return on this team has been immediate, and you have to come up with more manpower to keep an eye on his threat so that the rest of the players can play more relaxed.'

41st minute of the game.

It was the running and strangulation of several hungry wolves in the front of the Espanyol again, and Huelva, who was disrupted by the rhythm of the pass, conceded the ball again.

Huelva midfielder Nayar's pass was disrupted by Gabi, who rushed into the passing lane, and the ball bounced off Gabi's heel and bounced to the left.

Levi and Huelva's left-back South Africa's Morris ran to the ball at the same time.

He took the lead and used his speed to secure a favorable position, then actively sought out a physical confrontation before successfully gaining possession of the ball.

A kick was given to LaCruz, who started the game.

'Lacruz moved quickly to the bottom line with the ball, Alan Never's reinforcement slowed him down, and Tamudo inserted it into the box again to cross the bottom.

La Cruz got to his feet, the ball hoisted into the box, and Tamudo was shrewd in search of where to fall.

In the confrontation, he didn't jump high enough, and the ball flew diagonally behind him after a dip over his head.

Levi's swift figure crossed the line of the box and Cicinho in the box pounced to try to disrupt the goal.

There was not enough time for Levi to calmly touch the ball, and he subconsciously stretched out his foot to pick the ball to his chest, avoiding Siciño's dangerous first clearance.

The Spanish midfielder then approached Levi in close proximity and tried to squeeze his centre of gravity.

The ball had just touched Levy's chest and then slid down, and Levi used his knee to flip the ball upside down, and after trying to avoid Siciño's physical confrontation, he rubbed the ball to his side.

Unleash a slash in the air.

Huelva goalkeeper Lesgo saw the sharp shot coming towards him and hurriedly made a save.

But the ball bounced to the ground just before it was about to be saved, and then refracted again after hitting the post, flying into the net and stirring up countless white ripples.

"The ball is in again! A goal before half-time, 2-0! ”

"Unstoppable! I don't know what the mood of the fans is at the moment, but I think we can see it in the joy of the players at the moment. ”

All the fans were inspired by such a performance.

"True to the name, sometimes goals are scored by a flash of genius, a flurry of juggling movements followed by a volley that pierced Huelva's goal."

The first half ended with a score of 2-0.

In the second half, the Spaniards also had a lot more attacking opportunities than their opponents.

Levi had four attempts on goal, two on target, but were denied by Lesgow.

Seventy-first minute of the game.

Levi cut inside the box after receiving a diagonal pass from Coentrão, who had recently come on as a substitute, and shook off the shot after a series of shoulder feints.

He volleyed with his right foot and pulled the ball back past Alan Never and stabbed the ball into the net with his left foot.

The final whistle blew.
