After securing the fourth place in this season's La Liga in two rounds in advance, qualifying for next season's Champions League, and entering the final of this season's Europa League, the last two rounds of La Liga have completely reduced Villarreal to a formality.

Given that Dai Zhiwei's fitness has turned red, Marcelino didn't even have an exclusive name in the 18-man squad for these two games.

In this way, Dai Zhiwei's league goals in his first La Liga season are fixed at 15 - 14th in the La Liga scorer list this season!

This figure is not comparable to Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo, but it is already Villarreal's top scorer in the league, especially when he has only played in the halfway game.

If you add the 13 goals scored in the Europa League, he has already locked up the Europa League Golden Boot and the team's top scorer this season!

His goals in half a season crushed Bakambu and Soldado and other team strikers, and Villarreal also regarded him as the team's biggest weapon in the Europa League final on the 18th!

Villarreal will face fellow La Liga side Sevilla in the Europa League final, who became the first team to reach the final of three consecutive Europa League competitions, having won both of the previous two.

If Sevilla can reach the top, they will become only the third team to win the Europa League after being eliminated from the group stage of the Champions League after Atletico Madrid in 2010 and Chelsea in 2013.

Compared to Villarreal's previous incompetent performances in Europe, Sevilla's all-time record in the UEFA Cup/Europa League is undoubtedly impressive, and the team has won the competition four times before, an achievement that leads any European team.

In addition, the Andalusian side is the first team to reach the final of the Europa League for three consecutive seasons. Since Bayern Munich won three European Champions Cups in a row in the 70s, no team has managed to win three consecutive European titles, and Sevilla FC will be on the move this season.

Perhaps because the final opponent was Sevilla, whom he had played before, Dai Zhiwei did not feel nervous or overly excited, and he slept soundly the night before the match.

On the night of the game, Sevilla's big game against Villarreal was about to start, and in the players' tunnel at St. Jacobs Park, Sevilla captain Coke was walking down the steps with two caddies to get ready to play, and one of the three or four-year-old boys suddenly stopped, beat his chest and muttered a few words to Coke, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Coke touching his head.

At this time, Bruno was entering the field with the Villarreal players, and the child suddenly turned around and held out a hand to Bruno.

Looking at his diametrically opposed attitude towards Cork and Bruno, people thought he was a fan of the yellow submarine, and Dai Zhiwei also wanted to laugh at Sevilla for using their little fan left caddy.

However, just as Bruno was about to shake his hand, the kid suddenly withdrew his hand and grimaced at him, and Captain Villarreal was so angry and amused that he patted him lightly.

And Dai Zhiwei had to hold back his laughter before he could laugh, and his face looked a little funny.

"Haha! What a cute kid this little ball boy in Basel! Tao Dawei, the host of Huaxia TV's sports channel, noticed this scene in the players' tunnel and laughed, while Dai Zhiwei's funny expression appeared on the major media that broadcast the Europa League final live, and was made into various emojis by netizens after the game.

In this game, Sevilla's Lamy returned from suspension, while captain Koke returned to the starting line-up after returning from injury, and Villarreal switched to Dai Zhiwei and Bakambu up front, and it was clear that Marcelino was unhappy with Soldado's previous performance.

Sevilla line-up –

Goalkeeper: Soria

Defenders: Mariano, Lamy, Carico, Escudero

Defenders: Cory Joviak, Nzunzi

Defenders: Koke, Banega, Bitolo

Forward: Gameiro

Villarreal line-up –

Goalkeeper: Asenjo

Defenders: Mario Gaspar, Bailly, Bonella, Rukavina

Midfielders: Triguros, Bruno, Pina, Dos Santos

Forwards: Bakambu, Dai Zhiwei

After a series of activities, the game finally began with the whistle of referee Reilly.

Villarreal kicked off the ball first, with Dos Santos and Pina pushing as far down as they could to open up Bakambu and Dai Zhiwei in the middle.

The sudden forward of Kalikogros disrupted Sevilla's midfield defence, and before they could adjust, Caricogros slotted the ball past Dai Zhiwei in front.

Rami didn't hesitate to cling to it and leaned on Dai Zhiwei very fiercely, but Dai Zhiwei's little skills made him suffer a dark loss.

Dai Zhiwei did not stop the ball, but knocked back with the heel of his right foot, passed the ball to Bakambu behind him, and turned deftly to immediately leave the castrated Rami behind.

Bakambu stubbornly resisted the Sevilla central defender Cariko behind him, knocked the arch of his right foot, and made a one-two cooperation with Dai Zhiwei.

Dai Zhiwei suddenly accelerated to start and shook off Cory Joviak, who was coming back from the defense, and immediately burst into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Bakambu.

But at this moment, Rami suddenly shoveled over from the side, and even took the ball and flew Dai Zhiwei out directly.

"I didn't foul, no!" Rami immediately got up from the ground, shook his hand and shouted at the referee.

The Villarreal player rushed to the referee for a penalty, but the referee did not say anything and motioned for Villarreal to throw the throw-in.

This made the Villarreal players very dissatisfied, but the referee Reilly insisted on the penalty, and the Villarreal players had no choice but to serve the sideline ball.

"Hey! Boy, were you comfortable just now? Rami leaned close to Dai Zhiwei from behind and said in a low voice of provocation.

Dai Zhiwei was expressionless and silent, he understood that what to say now would only make Rammy's trash talk more.

The only way to slap the opponent is to score.

Villarreal chose to attack at the beginning, which surprised everyone, after all, football finals rarely have famous games, most of them are dull duels, Marcelino is a surprise move.

Villarreal's onslaught left Sevilla tired for a while, but they were not powerless to fight back when they quickly adjusted.

The two sides played a fast pace from the start, showing the characteristics of the La Liga players to the fullest.

In the fourth minute, Bitolo crossed Gameiro from a quick counter-attack, but Bailly made a crucial interception.

In the 13th minute, Mario Gaspar crossed from the right, and Dai Zhiwei's header from 12 yards on the left side of the box went wide of the near corner.

Villarreal came close to scoring in the 17th minute, Rukavina crossed from the left, Dai Zhiwei's header was crossed, Dos Santos passed back, and Bakambu swept a left-footed shot from 14 yards, the ball grazed the right post of the goal.

In the 21st minute, Dos Santos flashed Rami on the right and crossed, and Dai Zhiwei's header from 10 yards went into Soria's arms.

"It's a good wind today!"

Dai Zhiwei clenched his fists, he felt that his form today was the best in the past month, and it was only a time gap before he scored.

Mariano's long-range shot from the right was then confiscated by Asenjo and the Villarreal player carefully fell to the back of the pitch, preferring to waste his chances rather than give the ball to his opponents.

Before he knew it, the football was passed to the Sevilla half, and Trigueros received a pass from Bruno and stuffed it straight to Dai Zhiwei in front.

Dai Zhiwei sped up and retreated to catch the ball, Rami did not hesitate to follow, and Lamy, who chose the top position, obviously thought that even if Dai Zhiwei received the ball in this position, it would not be too threatening.

Dai Zhiwei stared at the flying football, and suddenly saw his toes under the ball, and with a slight warp, he lifted the ball over his head, and then quickly turned around and startled Rami, and then he saw Dai Zhiwei disappear from his eyes at a very fast speed.

Nice lobble!

"Humph! So you can get rid of me? You're too ......" Rami was still disdainful of Dai Zhiwei's excellence, but he was stunned by Dai Zhiwei as soon as he turned around.

After Dai Zhiwei turned around, Xiao Xiaobu just adjusted the rhythm and immediately shot a shot, and the whole Sevilla team could only watch in amazement as the football drew a long rainbow in the air, almost without any rotation and arc, and smashed into the gate guarded by Soria.

Soria didn't expect her opponent to shoot from more than 30 meters, and jumped backwards with a step back, only to watch the ball pass through her fingertips.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！”

With Dai Zhiwei opening the scoring, Villarreal easily led Sevilla 1-0 in the Europa League final!

"It's so easy!"

After Dai Zhiwei scored the goal, he stood in front of Lamy's eyes, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, as if to say: What can I do to score so easily?

This celebration is really pretentious!

But this goal is really awesome!

In fact, he really felt that his goal was too easy, even less difficult than the team's training match.

It seems that it is just a casual kick and entered?

"Perhaps, what can I do today?" Dai Zhiwei pondered.

Nice lobbles, gorgeous turns, shocking long-range shots.

When Dai Zhiwei hit a long-range shot through the Sevilla gate from 30 meters away, the entire Sant-Jacob Park stadium was shocked, how could he score so brilliantly?

The Sevilla fans were shocked in disbelief, while the Villarreal fans were enjoying the joy that Dai Zhiwei brought them, screaming madly into the stadium.

"Hell! One step slower for him to score. "The combination of Lamy and Cariko has made Sevilla's defence impregnable, and he is the cornerstone of Sevilla's two consecutive Europa League victories and three consecutive finals, and he has the envy of others for quality and glory.

But now he was actually toyed with by the little ghost in front of him, and he provoked himself so arrogantly, Rami's self-esteem was greatly challenged.

Rami yelled at Dai Zhiwei, which immediately attracted the attention of the referee.

It was okay to celebrate the goal, but there could be no conflict, and he felt a strong smell of gunpowder on both Dai Zhiwei and Rammy, and immediately ran to the two.

Carico and other Sevilla players all came to Lamy's side, while a group of young players like Dos Santos also stood by Dai Zhiwei's side.

The atmosphere on both sides is becoming more and more tense, and the fans in the stands are also loudly defiant.

It's a long story, but the confrontation between the two sides is only a few seconds.

The referee came up and dispersed the players from both sides and warned Rami and Dai Zhiwei to restrain their emotions.

For the remainder of the first half, Sevilla wanted to equalise, but Villarreal used defensive counter-attacking tactics to shrink the back and wait for the break.

However, both sides knew that the 1-0 score at half-time did not say much and only showed who had the initiative.

At the start of the second half, the clash between Dai Zhiwei and Rami was particularly eye-catching, with Sevilla fans booing loudly whenever Dai Zhiwei had a chance to touch the ball.

However, when Dai Zhiwei devoted himself to the game, he could only hear the buzzing in his ears, but he didn't care at all.

In fact, in a noisy stadium, it is difficult to get the sound to the players' ears clearly, even with a loudspeaker.

Villarreal's attack, Dai Zhiwei received the ball with his back, and Lamy also tended to follow closely.

Dai Zhiwei swayed left and right with his back, suddenly stepped on the ball and turned to pull the ball, and with one action, he faced Lamy head-on.

However, Rami was not ready to let him go, and directly stretched out a kick to break the ball while Dai Zhiwei's foothold was unstable.

Dai Zhiwei was still hesitating whether to break through or pass, Rammy's kick immediately made him make up his mind, he picked up the outside instep, and the football flew over Lamy's feet.

Dai Zhiwei turned from pulling the ball to picking the ball, and the whole set of movements was coherent and smooth in one go, which can be described as smooth, and even the old commentator who watched the game couldn't help but admire.

Rami felt the most clearly, he felt that he had just passed himself as if it was Messi, although this action did not look difficult, but in fact it was a light weightlift, which could best reflect the level, and only when it reached a certain level could it be done so easily.

After breaking through Lamy, Dai Zhiwei drove straight into with the ball, and Cory Joviak and Enzongqi around him followed, before they were on the back defense, and when they saw Rami being broken through, the two immediately chased after Dai Zhiwei.

Enzongqi immediately bumped into Dai Zhiwei with his body, wanting to use his body to jam Dai Zhiwei's leg swing action.

But Dai Zhiwei flicked his left foot outward, and although he staggered to the ground, he still controlled the ball at his feet.

Dai staggered with the ball, and although he was not yet at his best shooting distance, if he continued to take it, he would inevitably fall into the middle of a trio of Nzunzi, Korijowiak and Lamy.

In this case, Dai Zhiwei simply did not want to continue to dribble the ball, the silver teeth clenched, the left foot stomped on the ground, and the right foot immediately slammed into the football, the football with a strong external rotation, sticking to the turf as if slashing towards the Sevilla goal.

After the football was kicked out, a thought came to Dai Zhiwei's mind, "It seems to be ...... Again? ”
