Chapter 90: Blitzkrieg stunned the opponent
The second leg match between Villarreal and Sparta Prague was naturally played at Sparta Prague's home stadium, the Retesga Stadium.
Sparta Prague beat the underdogs 2-1 at home in the last round of the league, and the team has won 12 consecutive league games at home, and is currently in second place in the league with one game less.
Villarreal beat Getafe 2-0 at home in the last round of the league, with Dai Zhiwei coming off the bench to provide an assist, and the team now maintain a 12-point advantage over fifth-placed Celta Vigo and the team's qualification for next season's Champions League is almost certain.
Sparta Prague have won 7 and drawn 3 of their 10 home games in the Europa League recently, scoring 19 goals and conceding 5 goals.
The record of 5 away games in this season's Europa League is only 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, and many media believe before the game that the Yellow Submarine soldiers should strive for a draw, because as long as they do not lose more than two goals, they can advance, and a draw can naturally meet their requirements for promotion.
"Equalize and qualify? Why is it so familiar? ”
Dai Zhiwei was still muttering when he walked out of the players' tunnel, and suddenly remembered the slogan of the Chinese men's football team, I don't know why, he felt a chill, and then his body suddenly became tense.
In the case that we can qualify with a draw, most of the final results of our Chinese football end in losing.
"No! How can a team with me be as humiliated as the national football team? "Dai Zhiwei's form was at his peak before the start of the match.
When Villarreal kicked off, Bakambu and Dai Zhiwei rushed to Sparta Prague for the first time, Suarez dragged it out to organize, and Villarreal's attack was soon launched.
Suarez quickly sent the ball to the feet of Castillejo in front, inserted himself into the edge of the Sparta Prague penalty area, and handed the play to the wing.
Castillejo was still very excited today, quickly settled into his position, the ball was sent to his feet, turned and picked up with his right foot, quickly sent the ball to the left side, his body burst up, and he started quickly.
Sparta Prague defender Helek took the first step to move his center of gravity, stuck on his left side, felt his chest sink and his center of gravity was a little unstable.
After Castillejo started at high speed, he found that Helek had appeared on the route of his breakthrough, and with a bowed left foot, he shook his body and flicked the ball with his right foot, quickly passed Helek's other side, changed direction again, and cut straight into the middle.
Helek simply couldn't stop Castillejo, and was eaten by Castillejo once his center of gravity was unstable.
But he was not slow to react, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation, quickly pounced on Castillejo, who cut in, and desperately pursued the defense.
After passing Hellek, Castillejo had to face Matejovsky, who had already noticed Castillejo early in the morning, and when Castillejo cut in, Matejovsky had already stepped forward.
Castillejo did not hesitate to dribble with the ball, and the moment he approached, he suddenly smashed the ball with his right foot, flicked his left foot, and his body was like a strong bow that was gaining momentum, and without any reaction from Matejowski, he rushed straight past his right side, and rushed into the penalty area before Helek was trapped.
After passing Matejowski, the entire Spartak Prague backline has become a little thin at this time, and Castillejo, who rode alone, was like a swimming dragon, stirring up the chaos in the Sparta Prague backline, which was already a rumor.
Sparta Prague goalkeeper Bissick has also saved, and Castillejo rubbed his right foot and hit a hit to the ground, Bissick's long body subconsciously fell to the ground, trying to lock his goal range, but found that the football did not fly in the direction of the goal.
Castillejo chose the goal in front of goal!
Dai Zhiwei has been entangled with Sparta Prague central defender Brabek near the penalty spot, waiting for his teammates' pass or opportunity to shoot at any time, and at the moment of Castillejo's goal, he immediately burst out of the energy of his whole body, and Brabek was not to be outdone, relying on his advantage in front of Dai Zhiwei, wanting to interfere with Dai Zhiwei's catch.
At this time, the gap between the striker and the defender was revealed, and unlike the restrained Brabek, Dai Zhiwei directly made a sliding tackle, and at the same time pushed forward with his right foot as much as he could, preemptively touching the football for a moment.
In the face of a big empty goal, although the quality of his shot is not high, it is enough to fly over the goal line!
“goooooooooooal!”
1:0!
Although 80% of the credit for this goal is Castillejo, what is not satisfied with being able to score?
"It's beautiful!" Dai Zhiwei rushed to Castillejo, who had outstretched his arms, and picked him up.
The premature conceded goal stunned the home fans, and the cheers came to an abrupt halt before they could be heard. The Yellow Submarine men were in high spirits, and the goal that opened less than two minutes made what was already a tough game against Villarreal immediately turn off the road.
The game started again, and while Sparta Prague tried to equalise as soon as possible, the yellow submarines who opened the scoring were getting more and more excited, encouraged by the goal, and they took advantage of the victory again.
Less than two minutes after the Yellow Submarine's goal, Dai Zhiwei created a well-placed free-kick, but Trigueros took a direct free-kick that went wide of the post.
"Tsk, how good it would be if I had the skill of shooting in a curve at this time!" Dai Zhiwei is increasingly eager to acquire a free-kick skill.
At present, this yellow submarine does not have an absolute free kick master, as long as Dai Zhiwei's free kick footwork is passable, with his current position in the team, the first free kick penalty player is naturally handy.
Sparta Prague also had a brilliant performance, with Dochkar passing the ball down the left in the fifth minute and Julis's powerful shot from 25 yards down the middle.
Then came Dochcar's long pass, and Yuris shook off Ruiz only to be disrupted by Asenjo, who struck first.
After scoring the first goal, Dai Zhiwei became more and more active, raising his hand to ask Suarez for the ball.
Suarez, who knows Dai Zhiwei, naturally understands what the other party is thinking, and when he passes the ball to Dai Zhiwei, he still has a sympathetic look in his eyes - however, this sympathy is naturally not for Dai Zhiwei, but for the Sparta Prague backline.
Dai Zhiwei received the ball and faced Matejowski, he changed the frequency of touching the ball when he dribbled with his feet, and kept playing with the ball under his feet.
In the face of Dai Zhiwei, Matejovsky was very cautious, and saw an opportunity to stride forward to block Dai Zhiwei, but he did not stretch his legs and just used his body to block his breakthrough route and shooting path.
Dai Zhiwei immediately knocked the football back to Suarez, who was behind him, and then he quickly flashed past the base of Mateovs.
Just when Matejowski was still hesitating to step forward to steal the football at Suarez's feet, the latter did not stop the ball and directly passed a short pass over the top, and the football was flying towards Dai Zhiwei who was running.
It's a simple two-by-one!
Matejovsky pounced and wanted to immediately turn around and chase back, but because he rushed to the ground too hard, he didn't have time to stabilize his center of gravity and slipped to the ground.
Dai Zhiwei also burst into the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area the moment he got the ball, and at this time, Sparta Prague central defender Brabek had already let Bakambu take him away, and he couldn't make up for it for a while.
was panicked for a short moment, but Dai Zhiwei saw a loophole.
Before Bissick stood in a good position to seal the angle, he saw a flash of white light, and Dai Zhiwei pierced the gate of Sparta Prague with a tiger shot of nearly 40 meters.
It's easy, it's easy!
2:0!
The players and supporters of Sparta Prague are all stupid, how can they never imagine that it is this kind of fleeting opportunity, but the opponent scores two goals in a row, is there a way for them to live?
Sparta Prague completely felt that their fate was out of their control, and even at this time they did not dare to think about advancing to the semi-finals of the Europa League, but only hoped that this game would not be lost too badly.
Dai Zhiwei smiled and hugged Suarez to celebrate with him after blowing the gun last night.
With his brace in this game, his goals in the Europa League this season have reached 10, and it can almost be said that the Europa League Golden Boot has been secured!
Before the end of the first half, Sparta Prague was 2 goals behind, the faces of the players on the field were much more difficult, the premature conceded goal stunned the home team fans, and the stadium could not hear the cheers of the home team fans, they were completely stunned by Villarreal's sharp blitzkrieg!
At this point, the camera camera swept over the bench of Sparta Prague and saw the home team's players expressionless, perhaps they had understood that the team's Europa League road this season was over.
In the second half, Sparta Prague tried to make a last-ditch effort with substitutions, but the omissions in their backline were fully exploited by Villarreal.
In the second half, the yellow submarine staged another "blitzkrieg".
Villarreal continued to expand the results in the 49th minute, Bissick's kick-off was cut off by Bruno on the side, the captain of the yellow submarine crossed from the left, and the left rib of the Bakambu penalty area, which was successfully countered offside, scored a single goal, 3:0!
Although Sparta Prague pulled back two goals, in stoppage time, substitute Soldado went to the meeting alone and scored with an empty goal, fixing the score at 4:2.
In this way, Villarreal successfully eliminated the opponent with a score of 7:3 and advanced to the semifinals of this season's Europa League!
"I'm so proud of the players and the fans." Marcelino said after the game: "Everyone associated with Villarreal gave an amazing performance. At the beginning of the season, no one believed that we would make it through the group, but today we made it to the last four! I think the champion, it's not impossible! ”
After having Dai Zhiwei, who is in full form, Villarreal shouted the declaration of winning the championship for the first time!
