Chapter 570: The Second Champion
Louis II Stadium.
There was a cheer from the crowd, most of the fans were shouting for the goal just now, and some fans who were indifferent to Millwall were applauding the goal.
This may be the contagious power of football.
Jamie Vardy's goal was too technical and spectacular, with his back to goal and Keylor Navas behind him, but he fired with a toe barb that goalkeeper Palop couldn't react to it, and the moment the ball flew into the goal, he realised that the opponent had shot.
But it's too late!
The fans in the audience saw it clearly, and many people exclaimed, and immediately sent fierce applause for the goal.
The reporters in the media gallery, including the Spanish journalists, couldn't help but applaud the goal, the goal was so spectacular that they had nothing to say, the only thing they could say was to praise Vardy, "genius imagination!" ”
'No one could have imagined that Jamie Vardy could score the ball! He had his back to the goal and Navas behind him! But he succeeded! A barb with his back to the goal, he didn't even look at the goal! ”
'Keylor Navas definitely couldn't react, Palop's vision was blocked, he didn't know Vardy had a shot on goal!'
"It's incredible!"
"It's going to be one of the best goals in the history of the UEFA Super Cup!"
“……”
The players in front of the Sevilla penalty area were also surprised, including Sevilla and Millwall, and the players of the two teams all looked at the goal in a daze.
The bouncing ball in the middle of the goal said a lot about the result, but they kept watching, recalling the goal in their minds, and then looked at Jamie Vardy, who had finished the shot.
Vardy didn't know if he had completed the goal, he just shot tentatively, the process was completely based on feeling, and he didn't have the confidence to score directly, when he turned around and found that he had scored, he touched his forehead in a daze, and then looked at Navas next to him, "In?" ”
Navas didn't quite understand what Vardy meant, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said in Spanish, "I didn't expect you to score like this!" ”
"Haha-"
Vardy burst into laughter, he was happy about the goal.
Braniff rushed over and the two hugged each other again, and Vardy remembered that he was in the opponent's penalty area, so he hurriedly dragged Braniff back and hugged the other teammates who greeted him.
It was only then that the stadium seemed to react.
The crowd cheered endlessly, and the various commentators began to analyze the goal in detail.
"Genius imagination! Vardy! With your back to the goal and your toes to complete the barb, it's like juggling, it's hard to imagine that such a goal will appear in a regular game! ”
"It's no wonder Navas can't do anything, no one would have thought that Jamie Vardy would choose to shoot!"
"That's the confidence of a top shooter! Even if you don't have a chance, give it a try! ”
'You can't speculate on a player like Jamie Vardy, you think you can't shoot and he can score. It's hard to imagine how to kick the ball in, so when defending, you must keep an eye on the ball and not be careless. ”
'Vardy is only twenty years old, but he's already at the top level. Last season, he was Millwall's second-leading goalscorer, and that was because of Bent, when Millwall were playing as a single striker and Vardy was Bent's replacement, and if he could have played as many times as Bent, maybe he wouldn't have scored fewer goals than Bent. ”
'A lot of people are saying that after Bent leaves, Millwall will have a forward crisis, but after watching this goal, I don't think the fans need to worry.'
"Valdiega Braniv, or with Luka Toney, is the most feared strike pair in Europe!"
“……”
Jamie Vardy's performance was unanimously praised, and by the time most of the praise had ended, the game had already resumed, but the media commentators were still repeating the goal because there was still a lot to say.
For example, the contribution of other Millwall players.
Jamie Vardy scored the goal, and others did not take a small credit, and the speed of Millwall's counter-attack left many stunned.
It was Sevilla's counter-attacking opportunity before, they were cut off in midfield, Millwall launched a quick counter-attack, so fast that Sevilla didn't have time to defend, Simpson was unguarded, and Braniff also ran to the penalty line, this time it was still Braniff's pass.
Jamie Vardy scored a beautiful penalty area and couldn't kill the other team-mates.
The commentators were also constantly praising Millwall's overall performance, which they believed was the key to winning the game.
The England commentator sighed, "Millwall is not the same as last season. Last season, Millwall was already very strong, this season, they seem to have become even stronger, I don't know if this one is special, but what we can see is that whether it is the staffing, or the overall cooperation, in every aspect, they have improved, we can expect Millwall to play. ”
'It's bad news for Millwall's rivals, who have made it harder to beat Millwall.'
Some media outlets have an affirmative answer to the result, "Millwall's performance, both overall and individual players, was perfect. ”
"Sevilla...... Don't complain about losing. ”
————
Sevilla were qualitatively 'lost'.
The Sevilla players also began to be pessimistic, before the goal, they were still very combative, because passive, backward, in fact, the two sides are only one goal away, and there is still a chance to equalize if they try hard.
It's not the same with two balls.
In the current situation, Sevilla are very passive, scoring goals have become a luxury, even if they try to score a goal, they are still one goal behind.
Ninety minutes of play, there is not much time left.
Is there still a chance to catch up?
The vast majority of Sevilla FC players have a pessimistic view.
Seria coach Sergio Ramos is also helpless, he sees it better than the players, the goal seems to be Vardy's individual play, but it represents the overall gap between the two teams-
Player Ability Gap!
Tactical gap!
If you evaluate the game in front of you, there are gaps between the two sides in many aspects, Sevilla are the 'poor' side, and the biggest gap is still in the tactics of both sides.
Ramos thought it over and found that the pessimistic finding of the gap would not be bridged.
Even if they were given a similar set of tactics, Sevilla did not have time to adapt, it took a long time to adapt to a similar set of tactics, maybe it would be a season, maybe it would be a few seasons, it would be a long process, Millwall changed their tactics and adapted to the new style of play, and that was because of the style of play from last season.
Millwall is already a fairly mature team.
The above premise is still "there is a similar set of tactics", but the problem is here, Ramos can understand Millwall's style of play, but he doesn't know the details of tactics at all, such a complex style of play, it is absolutely impossible to replicate through the superficial situation, many teams imitate Millwall's 451 dual-core style of play have failed, not to mention the more complex system in front of them.
This tactical gap is the most depressing.
The manager is not afraid to lose.
For example, if a small club loses to a giant, it is not a big deal at all, but it is rare to win, because the difference in strength is obvious.
If it's a team of the same level, it's a bit depressing to lose against it, but once or twice is fine, in Ramos's opinion, Sevilla and Millwall games, no matter how many times they play, the probability of losing is very high.
That's the difference in tactical level.
Ramos found that his tactical level was indeed not as good as the opponent's Chinese coach, which also made him feel a little pessimistic, why is this happening?
Ramos is considered the "Spanish Coach", and he has always been proud of it, but now he feels that he is sitting in a well and does not know how big the sky really is.
This thought put Ramos to shame.
"Probably because you've never been out of Spain?" Ramos thinks that his coaching career started in Spain and is still in Spain, from coaching Rayo Vallecano, Real Betis, to leading Sevilla, the process cannot be described as a smooth journey, and there is basically no change.
Ramos thinks he should go out and see, go to other leagues, and face more fierce competition, only in this way can he improve his horizons, increase his knowledge, and really strengthen his coaching skills.
'Maybe I should accept Tottenham's offer.'
Ramos has a decision.
————
Sevilla are not the kind of team that will give up, they are still playing the pitch and hoping for a silver lining to equalise.
They have to.
Even if even the average player thinks that there is not much chance in their hearts, they have to work hard, at least show that they are working hard, so as not to disappoint the fans who support them and not let the team lose face.
They're a real Seville!
Sevilla is nothing to Europe, but there are still many supporters in Spain, not as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are also the giants of the "third pole", and they also have a long-term chance to compete for the top three in the league.
Sevilla's players also have a sense of pride and they will try to hold on until the end, but after a long time, they find that the team is still playing very passively.
The Sevilla players also spotted a characteristic of Millwall's style of play.
When Millwall press down and the team drops back a little deeper, the tempo slows down and the opposition look for opportunities with a constant tentative forward pass.
At this time, the defense is not dangerous, because the opponent has to find a way to break the dense defense.
If you get the ball and attack, it is the most dangerous time, because you can't score the ball, it often means that the opponent is given a chance, and the opponent's "attack and defense conversion speed is faster" and "the offensive rhythm is faster", the two advantages are added together, and the attack cannot be played at all.
It also gave the Sevilla players a chill.
Thinking back to the beginning of the first half, they and Millwall attacked for a long time, but they were not scored by Millwall, which is really lucky!
If you can't fight against the attack, you'll be very aggrieved!
Sevilla are not a team that is good at defending and counter-attacking, and at the moment they are two goals behind, so it makes no sense to defend solidly, and it is easy to give the opponent a chance when they attack.
What to do?
Sevilla was at a loss.
Many players are looking at the coach's bench position, hoping that coach Ramos can stand up and command, but unfortunately, Ramos has already considered leaving and going to the Premier League to develop, how can he still be in the mood to stand up and direct the game in front of him that is "impossible to tie"?
Sevilla's confidence was hit hard, they could only play at the pace the team liked, and they quickly fell into Millwall's rhythm trap, the pace of the game became faster and faster, the Sevilla players could not keep up, the error rate was increasing, and Millwall took advantage of the opportunity to launch waves of attacks.
In the 84th minute of the game, Millwall scored again, it was a shot from the back Livermore, after receiving Sneijder's cross, Livermore was 23 meters away from the goal, and sent the ball directly into the net.
Sevilla goalkeeper Palop has finally realized the power of "penalty kicks outside the penalty area".
When Palop noticed that Livermore was about to shoot, he didn't even have time to react when the ball actually flew up, and then turned the ball into the goal, leaving only a blank look on his face.
"Really...... Terrible! Palop whispered.
Before the start of the game, coach Ramos analysed Millwall and said that he must pay attention to the opponent's midfielder Livermore and not let Livermore get off easily.
Palop remembered Livermore.
Since the start of the game, Livermore has been doing defensive work, because Morris, who is also a midfielder, has not been able to plug in Livermore's turn most of the time, and has not found any opportunities at all.
Now it only took one chance for Livermore to score the ball.
Palop could only smile wryly.
In the face of the 3-0 result, he felt that the team was lucky, the opponent performed very well, in fact, he didn't play much, if the luck was better, or there were more opportunities, such as Livermore just now, a few more shots, maybe the score would become 5-0? Six to zero?
Palop didn't dare to think about it.
That's horrible!
————
After Livermore scored Millwall's third goal, the game was completely out of suspense, and the media stopped talking about the format of the game, but instead sang a eulogy for Millwall.
"Millwall have a three-goal lead over Sevilla, so at this point, there will be basically no suspense, Millwall fans can celebrate the championship in advance!"
"The UEFA Super Cup is the first time for Millwall FC, they have won many firsts in the last two seasons, and now adding another Super Cup doesn't seem to be a big deal."
"It's a pity that Sevilla didn't manage to defend their title!"
"This game also tells those fans who underestimate Millwall that Millwall is not a team that wins the Champions League by luck, they are really strong, even if they are as strong as Sevilla, it is difficult to fight back......
"The game proved that Millwall is indeed much stronger than Sevilla!"
'Three to zero, the score says the process, Sevilla, who are good at attacking, turned off in the game, they were completely suppressed by Millwall.
"We can congratulate Millwall in advance!"
The game can basically be said to be over, the two sides on the pitch still continue, it seems that the scramble is still fierce, in fact, not many people care about the situation, the time is only a few minutes, even if Sevilla can score, there is no meaning.
Sevilla also lost their fighting spirit.
The current performance is only superficial, passive for a whole time, just like the media said, they feel the gap between the two sides.
Maybe it's tactical, maybe it's the ability of the players, or maybe it's the play, but whatever you say, the gap is the difference, and they completely lose confidence in the game.
The final score was 3-0.
Millwall beat Sevilla to win the 2007 UEFA Super Cup.
