The game was played, and the game was played.

Chapter 339 I let you score a goal, and you really think you have a chance? !

“Welcome to turn on the TV and watch the final of the 2015-16 European League!”

“The two teams are the new Premier League champion Leicester City and the defending UEFA Champions Sevilla!”

“Next, let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both teams.”

“Four players of Sevilla are affected by injuries. In particular, Spanish winger Reyes is absent due to injury, which will definitely greatly reduce the team’s attack on the wing.”

For Sevilla, in addition to the winger Reyes who played for Arsenal in the past, the main central defender Andreoli and the rotating fullback Tremulinas are also unable to play.

However, the main lineup is still complete.

This season, affected by personnel loss and injuries, Sevilla struggled in the La Liga and could not enter the European war zone.

However, in the Europa League, which they are most familiar with, they were assisted by God and made it all the way to the final.

Just like the answer given by Sevilla captain Koke (not Atletico Madrid’s Koke) to media questions at the pre-match press conference:

“It is difficult to explain why we performed so well in this event. The team’s situation this season is not very good. Some players left and some players were injured. But we still won.”

In the past three years, Sevilla has reached the Europa League final three times.

Except for the third final that has not yet started, they laughed to the end in the other two finals.

It can be said that the winning rate of the final is 100%!

Some fans even began to joke that after winning the unprecedented three consecutive Europa League titles, UEFA should simply rename the Europa League as the Sevilla Cup in the future.

Some fans also played the famous joke of Leicester City’s famous player Lineker:

“The Europa League is a game where 22 people play on the field, and Sevilla wins the championship in the end!”

In this regard, the Foxes fans believe that the team will definitely prevent Sevilla from winning the championship again.

In terms of personnel injuries, Leicester City, whose medical department has made great contributions this season, is healthy!

In the starting eleven, the Premier League Golden Glove Schmeichel is still guarding the goal.

The four defenders are Fuchs, Huth, Morgan and Simpson;

Kante and Drinking Water partner as midfielders, each doing their own job;

Ling Feng is in the middle, and Albrighton and Mahrez are on the left and right;

At the forefront is the Premier League Golden Boot Vardy!

According to statistics from the Premier League agency, this starting lineup is the most commonly used lineup by Ranieri this season.

And the winning rate of this starting lineup is as high as 97%!

This means that as long as this starting lineup is sent, the game is basically stable!

“The players of both teams are ready.”

“Whether Leicester City wins the European Cup for the first time in its history, or Sevilla completes the unprecedented three consecutive European Cup titles, let’s wait and see!”

Beep~~~

With the referee’s whistle, the highly anticipated European Cup final officially kicked off!

Although Leicester City is stronger in terms of overall player level and lineup strength.

However, at the beginning of the game, the more experienced Sevilla took the initiative on the field.

Of course, this is also related to the tactics of the two teams.

Leicester City mainly plays defensive counterattacks, and giving up the ball to induce the opponent to press forward is part of the tactic.

As a La Liga team, Sevilla’s tactical strength of controlling the ball at its feet is flowing in its blood.

Therefore, under the gaze of 40,000 fans at St. Jacob’s Park and millions of viewers in front of the TV, Sevilla, the seventh in La Liga, firmly controls the ball.

The English Premier League champions in blue retreated to the midline, set up their formation, and let Sevilla attack.

The ball kept passing back and forth between the feet of the Sevilla players. In just five minutes, Leicester City didn’t even touch the ball!

Seeing Sevilla “suppress” Leicester City in the half, many La Liga fans immediately made various ridicules on social media:

“This is the Premier League champion?”

“The Premier League champion was also suppressed by us!”

“You rough guys can’t even touch the ball”

The Blue Fox fans also fought back against the provocation of the Sevilla fans.

“I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious yet.”

“The game has just begun, let’s see who can laugh last.”

“The seventh place in La Liga plus the runner-up in the Europa League,

You will definitely not play in the European Cup next year.”

In a decisive final, both sides did not dare to be too aggressive at the beginning.

And both sides were facing each other for the first time in history.

So, even if the ball was at their feet, Sevilla only made some tentative attacks to feel the Blue Fox’s famous defense in Europe.

With the connection of “Redondo’s successor” Banega in the middle, Sevilla’s small-scale passing and cooperation were very smooth.

As the No. 10 position in Sevilla’s 4231 tactical formation, Banega is the organizational core of this Sevilla!

However, compared with Ling Feng, a modern attacking midfielder who can play on the wing and in the middle and has explosive physical fitness, Banega is more like a few classic attacking midfielders left in the world football.

Since his debut, he has been famous for his passing and creativity.

With “Maradona” Like the nickname “Redondo’s successor”, the nickname “Redondo’s successor” is not exclusive to a certain player, but a gimmick abused by the media.

After all, Banega does not have Redondo’s strong defense, nor Redondo’s gorgeous passing, nor Redondo’s chic and elegant.

The only thing he is close to Redondo is his passing ability.

Even so, he has been a well-known midfield genius in Argentina since his debut.

And his task on the field is to organize the connection in the midfield and make the team’s offense smooth.

Under Emery’s tactical system, almost all the frontcourt offenses are initiated by him, and the team does not even need him to take on defensive tasks, just pass the ball to teammates at the right time.

This can avoid his shortcomings in speed and confrontation and maximize his vision and creativity.

It is worth mentioning that I don’t know if geniuses are more unruly.

Banega is a well-known troublemaker in the football world. Some media even call him the “king of stupid things”.

He has done many stupid things, including making indecent gestures to the camera, driving under the influence of alcohol, talking back to the head coach, sharing a photo of himself wearing a Real Madrid jersey on social media when he was playing for Valencia, parking the car with his feet, causing his ankle and calf to be fractured, etc.

Perhaps it is the defects of his character and physical fitness that have prevented Banega from becoming a superstar.

However, since he came to Emery, his former mentor last season, the Argentine, who is called the “low-key midfield master” by fans, quickly found his feeling and performed well on the field.

However, they faced That’s right, not the La Liga teams that focus on technology and small-scale cooperation, but against the obviously stronger Premier League teams!

Although they control the ball.

However, Emery on the sidelines and the Sevilla players on the field soon discovered that the overall defensive formation of the Blue Foxes was well maintained.

The distance between the players was just right, and there was basically no big gap.

Moreover, whenever Banega got the ball, Kante would step forward to press.

From the game videos and highlights, Banega knew how difficult Kante was, so he would not be stupid enough to go head-to-head with the Premier League’s steal king.

He passed the ball out as soon as possible, and then continued to move to meet his teammates.

Fifteen minutes before the game, because Leicester City had two strong points in the middle, Ling Feng and Kante, the relative space was very narrow.

Therefore, Sevilla has been looking for opportunities to break through and cross the side.

However, without the Spanish winger Reyes who drove a motorcycle, the explosive ability of the two wingers Vitolo and Koke could not cause any trouble to the two full-backs of Leicester City.

You know, the wingers that Fuchs and Simpson faced in the Premier League were Sterling, Walcott, Son Heung-min, Lukaku and other fast wingers!

They couldn’t take advantage on the wing, and the ball could only be passed to the middle, to Banega and Krechowiak for organization and dispatch.

Anyway, the La Liga teams are influenced by the tactical concept of tiki-taka, and each player has good skills at foot.

Since it is impossible to find a gap to break through the opponent’s defense line at once, just pass patiently and continue to look for opportunities.

At the same time, Leicester City is also adapting to Sevilla’s tactical play, as well as the personal level and habits of the players.

The two-round match with Villarreal in the semi-finals also made them understand the La Liga teams.

With the development of modern football, the game videos and highlights of each team, as well as various statistics, are all open and transparent.

It can be said that which team has which tactics and which player is the core, there is no longer any secret.

Therefore, Leicester City knew that Banega was the starting point of Sevilla’s attack, so they specially arranged Kante to mark him.

And Sevilla also knew that Leicester City’s

The most threatening player is Ling Feng, and Polish international Krechowiak was specially sent to take care of him.

In addition to sending special people to defend, Sevilla also let Banega and two defensive midfielders Nzonzi and Krechowiak form a three-person defense “cage”, which vaguely surrounded Ling Feng.

This is the midfield strangulation tactic specially prepared by Emery for Ling Feng, the best player in the Premier League.

However, for Ling Feng, whose speed and burst are at the ceiling of football, this tactic is useless!

Even in the cage, with Krechowiak’s close interference, Ling Feng seems particularly relaxed.

Whether it is holding the ball or passing the ball, it is not affected at all.

Both Banega and Nzonzi are midfielders without speed.

As long as he makes soup, he can easily break out of the cage.

In contrast, under Kante’s key defense, Banega, who has no speed and confrontation, has difficulty holding the ball!

He didn’t dare to keep the ball under his feet for more than a second, and could only pass the ball as far as possible.

However, just when the Blue Fox was about to adapt and was ready to show its sharp fangs, something unexpected happened!

In the 24th minute of the game, Sevilla controlled the ball and attacked.

Banega passed the ball to Vitolo on the left, who rushed forward with the ball and then sent a small straight pass behind Simpson.

Sevilla striker Gameiro made a diagonal cut and got the ball with his back in the penalty area.

However, under Huth’s defense, it was difficult to turn around, so he looked up at the middle and directly knocked the ball back to Vitolo in the middle.

And Vitolo, who took advantage of the situation and rushed to the top of the penalty area, shot the ball directly!

The defensive midfielder Heshuige subconsciously stretched his foot to block, but failed to block the ball firmly, and instead let the ball rub against his calf.

Then the trajectory of the ball changed direction and a zigzag occurred!

The next second, the ball unexpectedly came to Gameiro, who was unguarded.

Facing the gift from the opponent, the top scorer of the Sevilla team, who was only 172 cm tall, did not hesitate at all, and poked with his toes before Huth and Morgan, two strong men, completed the double-team!

His reaction in front of the goal was too fast, and he chose the simplest way to shoot.

Unprepared, Schmeichel was unable to get to the ground, but let the ball fly past his feet and drilled into the near corner of the goal!

The next second, the Sevilla fans in the entire St. Jacob Park Stadium suddenly burst into amazing cheers!

“Gameiro!”

“The ball is in!”

“Sevilla broke the deadlock first!”

Looking at Gameiro who was sliding to his knees when rushing to the corner flag area, the Leicester City players on the field were a little helpless.

This unexpected goal hit the Blue Fox who was slowly getting into the state.

Many people also doubted:

Could it be that Sevilla really got the favor of the goddess of the Europa League and was invincible in this event? !

Just when some superstitious people were thinking this way, Ling Feng’s voice sounded at the right time:

“Guys, it’s okay!”

The applause and shouts attracted everyone’s attention to the handsome young man with black hair.

“It’s just a lucky ball!”

“Don’t worry! If they can score one, we can score two or three!”

Hearing Ling Feng’s confident and even arrogant words, his teammates immediately cheered up.

If someone without strength brags, it is arrogance;

But if the best player in the Premier League who scored 20 goals in a season and led the team to beat all the major Premier League giants brags, it is telling the truth.

Because he has the strength to make it happen!

And the reason why Ling Feng said this is very simple.

After more than 20 minutes of observation, Ling Feng could already see that this Sevilla team was nothing!

Sure enough, less than five minutes after Sevilla scored, Ling Feng got the ball in the middle.

With a change of direction and acceleration, he passed Krechowiak, who was following him like a shadow, and then took advantage of the situation to make a soup, whizzing through the gap between N’Zonzi and Banega!

With the ball advancing into the range, Ling Feng’s eyes became sharp, and he swung his leg without hesitation and shot!

The next second, there was only a bang, and the ball shot out like a cannonball.

It turned into a residual image in the air, and the ball flew to the front of Sevilla’s goal in an instant.

In an instant, Sevilla goalkeeper Soria was surprised at the speed of the ball, but before he could make a save, the ball had already drilled into the upper right corner of the goal.

Swish!

The ball hit the white net, splashing waves

“Wow!”

“A world-class goal!”

“This is a super long shot from 35 meters away!”

“He deserves to be the long-shot king of the Premier League this season!!!”

“A wonderful goal!”

At this time, in the stands of St. Jacob’s Park, it was the turn of the Blue Fox fans waving the blue team flags to cheer and applaud excitedly.

After scoring this super heavy artillery that was like thunder from the ground, Ling Feng did not rush to the stands to make a signature celebration, but turned around and made a very domineering move to his teammates:

He patted the Blue Fox team logo on his left chest, then pressed down with both hands, and then shouted loudly amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans on the scene:

“Guys, relax! I’m here!”

“We can definitely win!”

This goal and this sentence were like a shot of adrenaline, and the Blue Fox players

Yes!

They have a peerless genius like Ling Feng!

How could we lose? !

After celebrating with his teammates, Ling Feng returned to his own half and looked at the Sevilla players who were either serious or reserved, and couldn’t help but smile contemptuously.

I let you score one goal, and you really thought you had a chance? !
