Chapter 924: Boxer

When fifteen students from Cambridge University set off from Rong Stadium with great vigor, Yang Huan sat in the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.

The Europa League final is underway between Inter Milan from Serie A and Sevilla from La Liga, the defending champions of the Europa League.

If you want to talk about this Europa League, in recent years, the influence is not as good as before.

One of the most important reasons for this is that the teams participating in the competition are too weak.

It's like a Premier League team, basically not interested in the Europa League, because the money earned by playing the Europa League is less than climbing one more place in the Premier League standings.

You say, how can a Premier League team be motivated to play in the Europa League?

But this has directly led to the Premier League teams being at a disadvantage in terms of European points.

Reforming the Europa League has become an important topic for UEFA.

No, the winner of this season's Europa League will automatically enter the group stage of the Champions League next season.

Perhaps because of this, this season's Europa League has become a little more attractive.

Of the four teams that reached the semi-finals, Serie A took three places, while Sevilla in La Liga also secured one.

As a result, Inter Milan eliminated Napoli, and Sevilla beat Fiorentina 5-0 to meet in the final.

Funnily enough, when Sevilla's name appeared again in the Europa League final, the general reaction of many fans in Europe was very interesting, and they would be surprised and say, "Nimei, why is Sevilla again?" ”

"Oh my God, Sevilla are in the final again?"

"I'm dizzy, they're the Europa League kings!"

"In the future, UEFA will simply change the name of the Europa League to the Sevilla Cup!"

It's no wonder that in the past decade, Sevilla have reached the Europa League final for the fourth time, and more importantly, they have won all the previous three times.

However, the opponent of this final, Inter Milan, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After the change of manager this season, Jurgen Klopp took over the team, and Interland showed great results, showing great competitiveness in Serie A, firmly occupying the leading position, and finally won the Serie A title.

Sevilla, on the other hand, only finished fifth in La Liga.

However, some media believe that Sevilla, the fifth oldest player in La Liga, was able to slaughter Fiorentina, which ranked fourth in Serie A, 5-0, which shows that the overall strength of La Liga is stronger than that of Serie A.

If it was a single game, it would have been lucky, but the semi-finals were a two-legged elimination system, and Fiorentina lost too badly.

It is precisely because Sevilla entered the final with the spirit of breaking Fiorentina, so this game attracted great attention from Serie A fans before the game.

This season, Serie A teams have been quite sluggish in Europe, not to mention the Champions League, Juventus have stopped in the group stage, and in the Europa League, three Serie A teams have reached the semi-finals, but Fiorentina has been humiliated by Sevilla.

If Inter Milan can't stand up and raise the banner of Serie A football, then Italian football will really be disgraced and thrown home.

Therefore, in the National Stadium in Warsaw, many Italian fans from afar waved flags, calling on Inter Milan to beat Sevilla, win a Europa League title, and fight for Italian football.

'Unai Emery is a really good manager.

Yang Huan sat in the chairman's stand, looking at the analysis of Sevilla in the Saints scouting system on his mobile phone.

Southampton played Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup before this season, but the La Liga side failed to pose much of a threat to the Saints, but that doesn't mean Sevilla are bad.

Throughout the season, Sevilla have faced heavy defeats against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they can also perform well against other teams.

'Unai Emery is a very pragmatic manager. Blanca, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, nodded.

"What kind of opponents they faced, what kind of tactics they used, they played Fiorentina over two legs, they had a good possession rate and played to their advantage in possession, and against some people who had a lot of possession, they went on the defensive."

Able to defend from with, able to press out and play with the ball, Unai Emery's team is indeed very well-rounded.

As for the crushing defeat to the giants, it is inferior in skills, and there is nothing to say.

Yang Huan shook his head, "Fiorentina is also a team with excellent ball control ability in Serie A, but in the face of Sevilla, the old five in La Liga, it was forced to be swept down with ball control, you say this is ......"

Blanca also laughed a little embarrassed, in the final analysis, his skills are not as good as people.

If you want to talk about this tactical play of possession, La Liga teams are really powerful, and they have talent in this area.

On the other hand, the Italian team plays possession, which is somewhat ...... What's the matter?

Yang Huan quickly got the starting list and lineup of the two sides, and interestingly, both sides were 4231 tactics.

"The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang!"

Sevilla's goalkeeper is Rico, while the backline is Tremourinas, Crozijessac, Carrizo and Vidal.

Among them, left-back Teresalinas is the heart of Sevilla's attack.

Wing-backs acting as the heart of the attack seems to have been a constant feature of Sevilla, such as Alves, who currently plays for Barcelona, who previously played the role of the attacking heart of right-back at Sevilla.

The midfielders are two midfielders, Mbia and Banega.

Further on, Vitolo, Ibola and Reyes, the single striker is Bacca.

Baca has also been a well-known scorer in La Liga this season, with great efficiency, and has already attracted the attention of many European powerhouses, and there is even news that Chelsea and AC Milan are interested in bringing in Barca.

On Inter Milan's side, goalkeeper Handanovic.

The backline, from left to right, is Alex Sandro, Blind, De Vrij and Darmian.

Khedira and Alan in midfield, Felipe Anderson, Kevin De Bruyne and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front, and Alvaro Morata up front.

But although they are all four-two-three-one, the playing style is quite different.

From the very beginning of the game, Inter looked more like they were playing a two-striker game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alvaro Morata are hard to tell who is up front and who is on the wing, more like a double striker, up front.

Sevilla, on the other hand, pressed aggressively, hoping to adopt tactics similar to those used against Fiorentina to finish off Inter Milan.

La Liga teams lack players with excellent individual ability in the front, so the midfield actively presses forward, creating a numerical advantage in the front field and winning possession, which is also an important offensive tool for Sevilla.

Once possession is won, the two full-backs push forward aggressively, widening the width of the attack and easily forming a small pass of two or three players on the flanks of the front.

Bacca in the middle is frequently retreating and inserting, constantly pulling Inter Milan's defense, patiently waiting for opportunities.

On the other hand, Klopp started a little too steady, started on the defensive, and the scene was relatively passive.

However, Inter's defense was well organised, with Khedira and Allan forming a double midfielder who did a good job of protecting the defence and the ribs, and defusing Sevilla's attack outside the danger zone.

"The team's defense has improved a lot, and the team is much more integrated!"

Yang Huan can see that after a season of training by Klopp, the overall progress of Inter Milan is still quite obvious.

The strength of the players is strong enough, and the integrity is also out, and the competitiveness will naturally not be weak.

It is not surprising that they can win the Serie A title this season.

After stabilizing Sevilla's attack after the opening, Inter Milan quickly adjusted.

It's cool to attack, but behind the coolness, it's risk.

Sevilla's two full-backs were aggressively involved in the attack, and problems were exposed behind them.

So, in the fifteenth minute, Blind passed to De Vrij, who in turn passed to Damian on the right.

After Darmian won the ball on the right side, he glanced ahead and passed the ball forward with a big foot.

In the frontcourt, Inter Milan's center forward Morata is 1.90 meters tall, which is nearly ten centimeters taller than Sevilla's two central defenders, and Morata is from La Liga and knows how to deal with La Liga's central defenders.

I saw that as soon as Darmian's pass arrived, Morata had already moved to the right side, suppressed the opponent's central defender with his body, seized the most advantageous position, and faced the incoming ball, a lion shook his head.

The ball grazed Morata's head and turned in a direction.

I don't know when to switch to the middle, but Aubameyang, who has been lying in ambush behind, suddenly started, like a black lightning, quickly passed through the Sevilla defense, grabbed before everyone, stopped the ball, faced the attacking goalkeeper, and a relaxed low shot penetrated the Sevilla goal, 1-0!

"Wow!!!"

In the stands, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh after seeing Aubameyang score.

"Well done!"

Anyone can see that this offensive routine of Inter Milan must have been used before.

Even, Yang Huan guessed that Klopp took the initiative to show weakness and retreat after the opening, probably to let Sevilla attack, and then expose the defensive weakness of Sevilla's two wings.

This attack just now seems simple, but it is very accurate and deadly!

"Haha, Young Master Huan, look, Emery is probably frightened!"

Looking at Blanca's gestures, Unai in front of the coach's box was constantly signaling the team to retreat, with a panicked look, a bit like those little devils who were ambushed in the anti-Japanese drama.

But who is Klopp?

It's hard to get you to press it out, and you can still make you go back?

saw the German's big hand wave, and Inter Milan pressed all over the line, obviously to take over the game.

"Roar, Roar, Emery is probably going to cry!" Yang Huan smiled gloatingly.

Nimei, you've got a sneak attack, and you still want to chase after the victory?

Too much, right?

But who is Klopp?

Boxer!

It is his true color to be unforgiving, and when he has the advantage, he doesn't take the opportunity to expand the score?

Therefore, after Inter Milan pressed hard, in the half of Sevilla, it started a fierce battle with La Liga teams.

This is something that scares Sevilla.

The whole of Europe knows how strong Inter Milan's players are individually.

De Bruyne and Felipe Anderson both have strong individual ability, one-on-one explosion, that is no problem at all.

Even Morata and Aubameyang's one-on-one ability is not weak, especially Aubameyang, whose speed of sudden start is really unguardable.

In fact, it was at the feet of Felipe Anderson that a forced personal break down the left flank attracted the attention of three defenders and picked up a cross into the middle.

Sevilla's centre-backs grabbed the first point, but with interference from Alvaro Morata and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, they made a mistake and fell to the edge of the penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, De Bruyne stepped in, stopped the ball, pulled to the right, and quickly followed with his right foot, and directly volleyed a powerful shot.

The ball arced in a beautiful arc and hung into the top right corner of the goal.

It's a dead end in the absolute sense of the word!

Two to zero!
