Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 339 I asked you to score a goal. Do you really think you have a chance? !
"Welcome to turn on the TV and watch the 2015-16 European League finals!"

"The two sides facing each other are Leicester City, the new Premier League champion, and Sevilla, the defending Europa League champion!"

"Next, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"In Sevilla, four players have been affected by injuries. Especially Spanish flying wing Reyes is absent due to injury, which will definitely affect the team's offense on the wing."

For Sevilla, in addition to the flying wing Reyes who played for Arsenal in the past, players such as main central defender Andre Oli and rotating full-back Trey Mulinas are also unable to appear.

However, the main lineup is still complete.

This season, affected by personnel losses and injuries, Sevilla is struggling in La Liga and unable to enter the European theater.

However, in the Europa League, the arena they are most familiar with, they were able to reach the finals with divine help.

Just like Sevilla captain Koke (this person is not Atletico Madrid's Koke) answered the media questions at the pre-match press conference:
"It's hard to explain why we performed so well in this tournament. The team's situation this season was not good, some players left, some players were injured. But we still won."

Sevilla has reached the Europa League finals three times in the past three years.

"The Premier League champions were beaten by us too!"

Under Emery's tactical system, almost all frontcourt attacks are initiated by him, and the team does not even need him to take on defensive tasks. He only needs to pass the ball to his teammates at the right time.

"You rough guys can't even touch the ball."

As the tenth position in Sevilla's 4231 tactical formation, Banega is the core organization of this Sevilla team!
However, compared to Ling Feng, a modern midfielder who can hit the ball from both sides and has explosive physical fitness, Banega is more like one of the few classical midfielders left in world football.

"Seventh place in La Liga and runner-up in the Europa League, you will definitely not play in Europe next year."

Although judging from the overall player level and lineup strength, Leicester City is stronger.

In a final where the outcome was determined, neither side dared to be too aggressive at the beginning.

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

With "Redondo's successor" Banega connecting in the middle, Sevilla's small-scale passing and receiving cooperation played very smoothly.

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

"The game has just begun, let's see who can have the last laugh."

As a La Liga team, Sevilla's tactical power of keeping the ball at their feet is in their blood.

"The Europa League is a competition where 22 people play on the field and Sevilla wins the championship!"

Kanter and Drinkwater partnered as midfielders, each performing their own duties;
Ling Feng is in the center, with Albrighton and Mahrez on the left and right;

Some fans also played the famous joke of rival Leicester City legend Lineker:

The only thing he is close to Redondo is his passing ability.
Even so, he has been Argentina's famous midfield genius since his debut.

This can circumvent his shortcomings of speed and confrontation and maximize his vision and creativity.

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

This means that as long as this starting lineup is used, the game is basically stable!
"Both players are ready."

The one at the front is the Premier League Golden Boot Vardy!
According to statistics from Premier League organizations, this starting lineup is Ranieri's most commonly used lineup this season.

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

After all, Banega has neither Redondo's strong defense, nor Redondo's gorgeousness, nor Redondo's free and elegant style.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, this highly anticipated Europa League final officially begins!

Leicester City focuses on defensive counterattacks, and giving up the ball to induce opponents to attack is part of the strategy.

"Let us wait and see whether Leicester City wins the European Championship for the first time in its history, or whether Sevilla completes an unprecedented three consecutive Europa League titles!"

However, at the beginning of the game, Sevilla, who was more experienced, took the lead in taking the initiative on the court.

The Premier League champion in blue retreated to near the midline, positioned himself, and allowed Sevilla to attack.

And this is the first time in history that the two sides have met.

Like "Maradona's successor", the nickname "Redondo's successor" is not exclusive to a certain player, but a gimmick abused by the media.

It can be said that the winning rate in the finals is 100%!

In response to the provocation from Sevilla fans, Blue Fox fans also responded.

In terms of personnel injuries and injuries, Leicester City, whose medical department has made great contributions this season, is all in good health!
In the starting eleven, the Premier League Golden Glove Jr. Schmeichel still guarded the goal.

Therefore, even if the ball is at their feet, Sevilla only plays some tentative attacks to get a feel for the Blue Fox's famous defense in Europe.

The ball kept passing under the feet of Sevilla players. In just five minutes, Leicester City didn't even touch the ball!
Seeing Sevilla "suppressing" Leicester City at half-time, many La Liga fans immediately made various taunts on social media:

Except for the third final that has not yet started, they had the last laugh in the other two finals.

Some fans even started jokingly saying that after winning the unprecedented three consecutive Europa League titles, UEFA might as well rename the Europa League to the Sevilla Cup in the future.

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

And his task on the court is to organize and connect in the midfield to make the team's offense smooth.

Of course, this also has something to do with the tactics of the two teams.

“Is this the Premier League championship?”

It is worth mentioning that I wonder if geniuses are more bohemian.

Banega is a well-known thorn in the football world, and some media even called him the "King of Stupid Things"

The stupid things he has done include making indecent gestures in front of the camera, drunk driving, contradicting the head coach, sharing a photo of himself wearing a Real Madrid jersey on social media when he was playing for Valencia, and parking the car with his feet, which caused his own injuries. Ankle and calf fractures, etc.
Perhaps it was his character flaws and physical shortcomings that prevented Banega from becoming a superstar.

However, since coming to the hands of his former mentor Emery last season, the Argentine, who is called a "low-key midfield master" by fans, quickly found his feel and performed well on the court.

However, what they faced this time was not the La Liga teams that focused on technology and small-scale coordination, but the obviously stronger Premier League teams!
Although in control of the ball.

However, Emery on the sidelines and the Sevilla players on the field soon discovered that the Blue Fox's overall defensive formation was maintained very well.

The distance between players is just right, with basically no gaps.

Moreover, whenever Banega gets the ball, Kante will immediately step forward to press.

From the game videos and highlights, we have learned how difficult Kante is. Naturally, Banega will not be stupid enough to go head-to-head with the Premier League steals king.

He passed the ball out immediately, and then continued to move to meet his teammates.

In the first fifteen minutes of 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 from the wing.

However, without the Spanish winger Reyes who drove a motorcycle, the explosive abilities of the two wingers Vitolo and Koke could not cause any trouble to Leicester City's two fullbacks.

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

Unable to take advantage on the wing, the ball can only be passed to the center and handed over to Banega and Krechowiak for organization and scheduling.

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

Since you can't find an opening to penetrate the opponent's defense all at once, just patiently conduct the ball and continue to look for opportunities.

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

The two-leg battle with Villarreal in the semi-finals also gave them an understanding of the La Liga team.

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

It can be said that there is no secret about which team uses which tactics and which player is the core.

Therefore, Leicester City knew that Sevilla's offensive starting point was Banega, so they specially arranged for Kante to mark him.

Sevilla also knew that the most threatening player in Leicester City's formation was Ling Feng, and specially sent Polish international Krychowiak to take care of him.

In addition to sending special personnel to guard, Sevilla also asked Banega and two midfielders Nzonzi and Krychowiak to form a three-person defense "cage", vaguely surrounding Ling Feng.

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

However, for Ling Feng, whose speed and explosiveness are at the top of the football world, this tactic is completely useless!

Even in the cage and under the personal interference of Krechowiak, Ling Feng seemed particularly relaxed.

Whether he 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 Kanter's focus, Banega, who has no speed and confrontation, has trouble getting the ball!
He didn't dare to keep the ball at his feet for more than a second, so he could only pass the ball as much as possible.

However, just when the blue fox was about to adapt and was about to reveal its sharp fangs, a sudden change occurred!
In the 24th minute of the game, Sevilla took possession of the ball and attacked.

Banega handed the ball to Bitolo on the left, who rushed forward with the ball and then sent a small through ball behind Simpson.

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

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

And Bitolo, who took advantage of the situation to reach the top of the penalty area, met the ball with a blast!
The defensive midfielder Drinkwater subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the ball, but failed to block the ball firmly. Instead, he allowed the ball to rub his calf.

Then the ball's trajectory changed direction and broke!

The next second, the ball surprised everyone and came to the unguarded Gameiro.

Faced with the gift from his opponent, Sevilla's top scorer, who is only 172cm tall, did not hesitate at all. Before the two strong men Huth and Morgan could complete the double-team, he poked with his toe!
He reacted too quickly in front of the goal and chose the simplest way to shoot.

Unprepared, Schmeichel didn't get to the ground in time, but let the ball fly past his feet and drilled into the near corner of the goal!

The next second, the entire Sevilla fans in St. Jakob Park suddenly burst into amazing cheers!
"Gamero!"

"The ball is in!"

"Sevilla was the first to break the deadlock!"

Seeing Gameiro sliding towards the corner flag, the Leicester City players on the field were a little helpless.

This unexpected goal was a sap for the Blue Fox, who was slowly entering the state.

It also made many people suspicious:
Could it be said that Sevilla has really been favored by the goddess of the Europa League and is invincible in this competition? !
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 drew 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 a person without strength is bragging, it is arrogance;
But if the best player in the Premier League who scores double 20 goals in a season and leads his team to kill all the major Premier League giants is bragging, then he is telling the truth.

Because he has the ability to realize awesome things!

The reason why Ling Feng said this is very simple.

After twenty minutes of observation, Ling Feng could already tell that there was nothing wrong with this Sevilla!
Sure enough, less than five minutes after Sevilla scored, Ling Feng got the ball in the middle.

Changing direction and accelerating, he passed Krechowiak who was following him everywhere, and then took advantage of the trend to make soup, whizzing past the space between Nzonzi and Banega!

Dribbling the ball into the shooting range, Ling Feng's eyes sharpened and he swung his legs to shoot without hesitation!
The next second, there was only an explosion, and the ball shot out like a shell.

It turned into an afterimage in the air, and the ball flew towards Sevilla's goal in an instant.

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

Swish!
The ball hit the white net and splashed with waves.
"Wow!"

"World wave!"

"This is a super long shot from 35 meters away!"

"He deserves to be the king of long-range shots in the Premier League this season!!!"

"A brilliant goal!"

At this time, in the stands of St. Jacobs Park, it was the turn of the Blue Fox fans waving blue team flags to burst into cheers and applause excitedly.

After scoring this super-heavy artillery piece that caused thunder on the ground, Ling Feng did not rush to the stands to make his iconic celebration. Instead, he turned around and made a very domineering move towards his teammates:

I saw him patting the Blue Fox emblem on his left chest, then pressing down with both hands, and then shouted loudly amidst the warm cheers of the fans at the scene:
"Guys, relax! I'm here!"

"We can definitely win!"

This goal and these words were like a shot in the arm for the Blue Fox players.

Yes!

They have a peerless genius like Ling Feng!
How could it be possible to lose? !
After celebrating with his teammates, Ling Feng returned to his own half, looked at the Sevilla players who were either serious or reserved, and couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile.

Let you enter one, do you really think you have a chance? !
