In the early morning of April 22, Beijing time, the 33rd round of la Liga matches continued, the 12th place in the table of Espanyol unexpectedly lost, at home 0-1 lost to the nemesis Vallecano, which is the first time in the history of the Spaniards in La Liga home loss to Vallecano, after 13 la Liga home games against Vallecano achieved an invincible result of 8 wins and 5 draws, this fall put the Espanyol team to shame.
Espanyol coach Vicente Moreno seems to have been thoroughly eaten by Vallecano, the relatively fixed starting 11 did not play the expected effect, and the trident of De Thomas, Velena and Puado will also fail once De Thomas is restricted. Vallecano counter-attacked against espanyol with a defensive counter-attack, with 43% possession and more shots on goal than Espanyol, reaching 12 times, scoring 1 goal on 2 of 2 shots, and Espanyol scored 0 blocks on 2 of 6 shots.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Vallecano got a second chance to attack in the front, the ball hit the box, Catena's header crossed, directly assisted Serge Guardiola to complete the back point to shoot the volley, Vallecano scored the only goal of the game, successfully defeated Espanyol 1-0, this victory is also a victory in the sixth-point battle.
Rayo Vallecano won the game to 37 points, and also played one less game for Espanyol, and the make-up win would surpass Espanyol to reach 12th in the table and squeeze Espanyol to 13th in the table. The losing Spaniards had no chance of equalizing Valencia, who were 10th in the table, with Valencia having only 42 points in 33 la Liga matches, espanyol scoring 39 points in 32 rounds and failing to score 42 points in this round of loss.
Espanyol coach Vicente Moreno was irritated by the team's performance, and he was annoyed by his blunt defeat in the post-match press conference, focusing on the Spaniards' team lying flat and afraid to fight under the condition of basically confirming relegation, thinking that it was hurtful and humiliating, for which he had to apologize to the fans.
Chinese foreign player Wu Lei was not reused in this round of matches, and only came on as a substitute in the 86th minute of the game, so his influence on the game was very limited, but he witnessed 3 humiliating results overnight, first, espanyol was killed by Vallecano for the first time in La Liga, and the first leg of this season was also defeated by Vallecano 1-0; second, espanyol lost to Vallecano for the first time in La Liga, before the previous 13 consecutive defeats; third, Espanyol suffered a crazy 5 consecutive defeats against Vallecano in all competitions. These include double-kills in La Liga last season, losses to opponents in last summer's warm-up matches, and double-kills by Rayo Vallecano this season. According to this development situation, Wu Lei is time to consider transfer again, and he may only get more game time through transfer.
