Green striker

Tarragona ended their Copa del Rey match against Universidad de Las Penmas.

Tarragona had another two good days due to its victory, but of course these two days were not considered good days.

Because with the end of the midweek game, it was the weekend league, and the outside media began to pay more attention to Carragona, a team that has continued to top the Spanish Second Division with nine consecutive victories.

In the tenth round of the Spanish Second Division, this game is for Tarragona. In this game, the old midfield captain Slin and the main defense player Benato are suspended. Before the game, Tarragona said:

The No. 1 player in Segunda División who has won 9 consecutive games.

Given such a situation, the media's coverage of this game was divided.

There are voices of support, but most of them are...not optimistic!

"Without a major general, Tarragona's winning streak may come to an end!"

"Tarragona's nine-game winning streak in the league and its 12-game winning streak in all competitions may be ended due to the captain's suspension?"

"The best winning streak of the Spanish Second Division season, thirteen league games, Tarragona may not be able to make it!"

These are some media’s pre-match predictions for this game.

The league has reached this stage, and anyone with a certain level of football skills and tactics can see who is the core and the most critical figure in Tarragona now.

Is it Chen Yang?

The core of Chen Yang's attack against Tarragona is correct.

In Tarragona's technical and tactical style of play, the old captain Slin is the most critical point in using the entire Tarragona defensive counterattack flexibly.

In the current league's key passes, threatening balls, and number of steals, Slin ranks among the best. At the same time, with 6 assists, the old captain also occupied the top scorer list in the Spanish Second Division with Chen Yang's 15 goals.

At the same time, he also ranked first in assists in the second division.

This is the performance of a 32-year-old veteran.

Compared with the old captain who had mediocre results in previous seasons, at the beginning of this season, Slin was like a fish in water with the new and changed tactics of Tarragona!

And it's not just because Tarragona's own main players are suspended, but also because Cordoba performed well.

In the past two games, they have achieved one win and one loss against Rayo Vallecano and Granada, two of the top teams in Segunda División, which gives people more reasons to believe that Cordoba may be upset.

.

Therefore, it is understandable that the media before the game lowered their expectations for Tarragona to continue to win and win ten games in a row.

In this unfavorable situation, probably the local media in Tarragona only expressed support for their team.

However, when it comes to the team's performance expectations in the next round, the newspapers and media in Tarragona actually don't have those expectations. In the news, they first inoculate the team in advance.

"The nine consecutive wins at the start of the season have broken the Tarragona team's record."

"After nine consecutive wins, it's good to stop and build momentum again!"

"With an advantage of 27 points, Tarragona is currently far ahead at the top of the Spanish Second Division. With the absence of personnel, it is a good result to be able to score points in the away game."

Of course, no matter how the media directs public opinion on this game.

The major football betting companies, which are extremely sensitive to all data, have already adjusted and changed the odds of this game.

Intuitively, Tarragona's winning odds have improved a lot.

This is very conscious, very conscious.

…

In this game, most of the attention paid to Tarragona was directed towards being unfavorable.

That is to say, in this unfavorable situation, the Tarragona club has been silent and making full use of the time to prepare better and actively for the game.

Until October 30th, match day.

The tenth round of the Spanish Second Division begins.

Tarragona goes to the away game to face Cordoba, this tough battle is finally here!

17:23 minutes.

"Do you think the team can achieve ten consecutive wins today?"

Now is the pre-match press conference. A reporter asked Tarragona head coach Mandy, who was present at the press conference, a question.

Mandy didn't think about anything and answered the question in a very formulaic manner, "I think whether we can win ten or not depends on today's game and whether the players on the field perform brilliantly in the game."

"Cordoba head coach Mr. Merino Ruiz said in a previous interview that Cordoba will definitely win at his home court today. What do you think of Mr. Merino Ruiz's words?"

Some reporters tried to stir up conflict.

"I think this is nothing. Every head coach believes that the team he coaches will win the game, and I am no exception. However, there will always be coaches who cannot fulfill their promises." Mandi replied,

Glancing at the reporter who asked the question, he remembered it from Marca.

"So what you mean is that Tarragona can successfully win a victory at home in Cordoba today?" The reporter from Marca did not let it go and asked again.

"Haha, I think this needs to be done on the field. After the actual game, the results will tell us what the correct final answer is." After Mandy replied, she pressed the small speaker in front of her, and that's all.

That's it for the pre-match press conference.

18:17 minutes.

"Does anyone have extra shoelaces that I can use? One of my sneakers is missing a shoelace."

"I have an extra shin pad. Who does this large shin pad belong to?"

"That must be mine! I'm missing a shin guard."

The visiting team's locker room was bustling with activity. After the warm-up, the first-team players who were about to start the game were changing clothes and putting on equipment.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

It was the old assistant coach Hunter Ben knocking on the iron door of the visiting team's locker room, which was not of very good quality!

"Everyone who has put on their equipment can go out!"

When the old assistant coach finished speaking, Chen Yang, who had already put on his equipment, walked to the door first.

"I wish you good luck! Play better then!" Hunter Ben patted Chen Yang on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Chen Yang looked calmer today, and then he walked out of the locker room.

After Chen Yang turned around and left, the old assistant coach continued to bang on the iron door vigorously, shouting at the remaining players in the locker room: "You are too slow! You are about to play, how can you change clothes like this?"

Long time, you still have at most five minutes!"

"Put on my equipment and change my jersey. I don't want anyone to be left wanting!"

Hunter doesn't like people who do things slowly.

18:26 minutes.

"Okay, it's time to go on stage!"

After the staff repeatedly determined the time, they notified the players from both sides who had lined up in the player tunnel to go out.

Then, the entrance march sounded.

Players from Cordoba and Tarragona led their ball boys out of the tunnel.

Among the players from the two teams playing here, Chen Yang's position at this time is different from his previous position. Today, he is standing in the front row.

Moreover, Chen Yang also has something different from the Tarragona players behind him.

Chen Yang was wearing an overall black and gray away jersey. At this moment, an orange armband appeared on Chen Yang's left arm.

This is......yes, that's right! It's the captain's armband of the Tarragona team!

This captain's armband is worn on the arm of Chen Yang.

Today's Chen Yang has a little more change in his identity.

Today, Chen Yang is not only a player of Tarragona, he is also the captain of Tarragona during the game!

And that's not all the changes.

In order to prepare for this game against Cordoba.

Today's Tarragona has also made adjustments to its starting lineup!

4-3-1-2!

This is the formation that Tarragona will play today!

And the 1 in 4-3-1-2 is none other than the current captain of Tarragona, Chen Yang!

Today's Chen Yang is no longer a lone forward, his tactical position has moved slightly back to the attacking midfielder position!

Such adjustments and changes mean that Chen Yang will shoulder the banner of Tarragona's offense today!

Of course, he also has to take into account the team's defensive tasks at the same time.

As a midfielder, this is Chen Yang's first temporary position change.
