In the early morning of January 11, Beijing time, the 20th round of La Liga ushered in the last match, espanyol home against Elche. Shortly after the opening, espanyol fell behind 0-2 in the opening 14 minutes, the back line was easily exploded, Wu Lei continued to be a spectator on the bench, and the team is currently in a desperate situation.
In the current standings, espanyol has 26 points in 19 rounds, ranking 11th, 10 points ahead of the relegation zone, and Elche has 16 points in 19 rounds, ranking third from the bottom.
Returning to the home game this time, espanyol are determined to win, winning 6 and drawing 1 in the past 7 home games, beating strong teams such as Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. Espanyol is under little pressure to relegate, with one less round five points away from the European zone, so beating Elche can narrow down to two points.
In terms of starting, the Spaniard adjusted the lineup, De Thomas, Morón and Puado continued to lead the front trident, Nbarba returned to the starting lineup, in midfield partners Cady Barre and Moranes, Wu Lei continued to substitute.
Espanyol had previously been very strong at home, and this time the match against Elche conceded a series of goals shortly after the start, and the back line was easily broken.
In the opening 6th minute, Elche made a long pass at the back, Pedrosa directly gave the ball to Morent, Morient took the ball from the bottom line and crossed it to the goal, Mira wrapped up and pushed into the net, helping Elche to make a fantastic start 1-0.
Falling behind early did not arouse the vigilance of the Spaniards' backline. In the 14th minute, Mascarel crossed directly from the left to the middle of the road, Mira easily headed the ball in the top, goalkeeper Diego Lopez did not touch it, and the Spaniard fell behind 0-2, completely in a desperate situation.
Conceding two goals in eight minutes, the Espanyol backline turned into tofu scum, and the defenders looked defensive, not at all like the team that had won 2 consecutive home games. Elche, the away team, took an early 2-0 lead, and the whole team celebrated wildly, and it would be a surprise for this score.
In the 25th minute, De Thomas crossed from the right in front of the goal, Moron fell to the ground and shoveled into the net, the referee signaled That Moron was offside, the penalty goal was invalid, slow motion showed that Moron was indeed in an offside position, the score was still 0-2 behind, and the Espanyol fans were happy.
Pulling back a goal can make the Spaniards very angry, it is easier to equalize the score, and now the goal is invalid, or 2 goals behind, the Spaniards have difficulty chasing points. For Wu Lei, it is more difficult to get the opportunity to play, and the possibility of being an audience is extremely large.
