Sevilla are still very strong, and their attack is quite Spanish football - passing, penetration, fast attack, combined with pressing on the spot in the front, they use the space to constantly squeeze the opponent to create a situation in their own favour.

They also invest a lot of troops in the attack, and pressing on the spot and counterattacking will also bring a lot of trouble to the opponent.

In this game, Sevilla has the belief that they must win, and the meaning of the game is different for both sides, Millwall won the Champions League for the first time and participated in the Super Cup for the first time, while Sevilla also hoped to successfully defend the UEFA Super Cup after defending the League Cup.

In the face of a strong Sevilla, Real Madrid and Barcelona will have a headache, if they insist on playing against each other, the result of the game is a little uncertain, and more opponents will choose to defend solidly to prevent the opponent from breaking out and taking the lead prematurely.

Millwall is different.

It's hard to say what kind of football style Millwall is, under the tactics set by Zhang Yang based on systematic ability, Millwall has long been out of the so-called 'league style', and the basis of tactical play is the ability of the players, and the Millwall style represents the overall ability.

The new 352 is very attack-oriented, and Millwall has only just started the game.

Both teams put on an offensive stance.

The competition became very intense from the start, which also surprised the media quite a bit.

The British media were expecting Millwall's performance, while the Spanish media were surprised that Millwall had the courage to play against Sevilla, and in their opinion, it was tantamount to giving up the game just because Millwall was an English team.

An English team that is playing against La Liga's top Sevilla?

Ha ha!

The judgment of the Spanish media stems from "empiricism", under normal circumstances, even if Manchester United, Arsenal, and La Liga teams play, they will defend for a period of time first, and even choose to defend and counterattack all over the field to have the best chance of victory, they will never think that Millwall is not an ordinary team, even if it is from the perspective of Millwall's performance last season, it is completely wrong, because Millwall has been improving, and this season's tactics have become more attack-oriented, and they are naturally not afraid to play against opponents.

Millwall, now, prefers to play against opponents who are good at attacking.

Seville, just right!

If the opponent is Barcelona and Real Madrid, Zhang Yang has to hesitate whether to defend for a period of time first, Sevilla is always worse.

This game is a good time for the 352 formation to play!

————

When both teams take the initiative to attack, the game becomes very spectacle.

On the field, the wonderful cooperation was played again and again, and the fans in the audience cheered non-stop, they were so satisfied with the game, they didn't expect the game to be so exciting at the beginning.

By the time the waves were over, many people found that Sevilla had some advantage because they had more time on the ball and felt like they were at Sevilla's feet for most of the time.

Millwall was more passive, with the Spanish commentator who was streaming the game shouting, "Millwall is suppressed by Sevilla!" Even if they take the initiative to attack, the technical gap is not something that can be made up by the ......"

Some Spanish media even affirmed that "Sevilla FC scored only a matter of time!" ”

The players on the playing field feel diametrically opposed.

Sevilla FC have more time on the ball, but that's only because they pass more horizontally and backwards, and they take the initiative to keep the ball, while opponents tend to attack in one go and drop back no matter what the result.

It's a different style of play.

Sevilla have a lot of time on the ball, but they don't have many opportunities, Millwall tends to attack quickly, and the defense is very solid, even if it is only a three-back formation, two backs and wings to participate in the defense, it will also make the backfield look solid, they can't find a good opportunity for a long time, and the consequences of rashly passing the ball up may be directly tackled.

With less than ten minutes to play, Sevilla's passing was much more deliberate.

They found that the game was not as simple as they thought.

Sevilla's understanding of Millwall is limited to media coverage and the few games that were all from last season, the Millwall team played in a 451 formation, and the team was still chanting a 'two-core' style of play before the game, and they were confident that they would play a more flashy attack than Millwall, and it was also a source of confidence in the game.

Now Sevilla are in trouble, the opponent's defensive solidity is not the main thing, and the attacking speed is a little chilling.

In the previous two waves of offsets, the opponent didn't take ten seconds to hit the penalty line, but fortunately, the backcourt players defended in time and did not give the opponent a chance to shoot.

The goal was held, but the process was memorable.

Sevilla FC found that they couldn't give the opposition a chance, but it wasn't possible in the game, and they all consciously increased their possession because when the ball was at their feet, they felt very safe, at least without worrying about the opponent hitting the ball into dangerous positions.

"Their counteroffensive is too fast!"

Sevilla all made similar exclamations, and they were a little afraid of Millwall's fast attack.

It doesn't make sense to keep the ball for a long time, Millwall's pressing is very aggressive, too many passes and mistakes will give the opponent a better chance, they keep possession of the ball, and in the face of pressing pressure, they can only continue to pass forward and take the initiative to find opportunities.

Millwall's defence was not so easy to break down, the 352 formation was a problem, but the lack of defence was supplemented by two midfielders and the drop down the wing, and Sevilla could find opportunities when they played well, but they still felt the toughness of the defence.

In the Sevilla team, the most obvious feeling is striker Fabiano.

Fabiano was at the front of the formation, constantly running flexibly, but he still had to face tough defense, often throwing off the central defenders and facing the midfielders, and facing the wide defenders on the wing, it was difficult for him to run out of real gaps.

"Their regional lockdown is doing a great job."

Fabiano could feel that it was not a single player defending him, which meant that the opponent did not limit him, and relying on the overall defense alone was enough to cause considerable trouble.

So far, Fabiano has had a chance to shoot on goal, and under the tight blockade, he can't control his body, so he can only take a random kick, and the ball flies straight out of bounds.

Fifteen minutes went on, and Sevilla had only two shots on goal.

Canute and his team-mates worked well together, and a shot that pressed the line of the box threatened the Millwall goal, but goalkeeper Graham quickly saved the ball.

It was a very special attack.

Not the rest.

Sevilla only threatened once in the first fifteen minutes, but their performance was not bad, and the Spanish media believed that Sevilla had the advantage because they had more time on the ball.

Many journalists also discussed it.

But as Millwall's attack intensified, they were in no mood to discuss which team had the advantage.

————

The emphasis of the 352 formation is on attacking speed.

The Spanish media believes that Sevilla has suppressed Millwall in the situation with more possession, in fact, Millwall's style of play is like this, they don't care about the amount of possession at all, they fight for offensive speed, attack number and efficiency.

When Millwall attacked, they rarely made backward passes, they always passed the ball to the end in one go, shot directly when they had the chance, and quickly retreated when they didn't have the chance.

This style of play sounds simple, but it is very difficult to play well, first of all, to have more attacks than the opponent, you must have strong pressing and defensive support.

Also, offensive efficiency is a problem.

Fast offense doesn't mean high efficiency, and the two are opposite stats in many teams, because speed often means a high chance of turnovers.

Millwall adopts a fast-attacking style of play, relying on the strong organizational ability of the midfield, but also relying on the extremely high efficiency of the strikers, to put it bluntly, relying on the strong midfield ability.

This is where Millwall excels.

Probably the Spanish media will not think so, they think that Sevilla is stronger in the front court and more technical, but the Sevilla players have already experienced it, because they have to face huge pressure when defending, the opponent is not only fast in attack, each player is quite good, and the coordination is also accurate and fluent, which also greatly increases their defensive pressure.

In Millwall's midfield, there are two who bring the most pressure, one is Sneijder and the other is Braniff.

Sneijder is the core of the frontcourt, can also be called the "assist expert", with the continuous support of teammates on the side and in the backfield, the Dutchman gets more often, in the front position, he can pass a threatening ball when he finds an opportunity, Sevilla players see Sneijder take the ball, they are a little numb, they need to be very serious to defend, lest they give the other party a chance because of a small mistake.

Also, it's Braniff.

Braniff is really good, because he plays in a forward position, he is very closely marked, and the frequency of taking the ball is not high, but whenever he gets the ball, it will make Sevilla's backfield very nervous, because he not only cooperates with his teammates, but also has the ability to break through with the ball alone.

Braniff's stunning performance also made Sevilla's defense more cautious.

————

Twenty-five minutes into the game, the Sevilla players were already feeling the struggle.

This Millwall is not what I imagined.

Even last season's Champions League winners felt they were looking good to win, but Millwall seemed to be out of the box and went on a full-scale attack.

Millwall's attacking style was so fast-paced that it gave Sevilla a feeling that they couldn't catch up.

As time passed, the media and fans in the stands also realized that the game was not as easy as imagined, Millwall's attack not only has speed, but also tacit cooperation and efficiency, as evidenced by the completion of four shots so far, Sevilla's local media commentator, and have to be afraid to say, "Millwall's speed is fast and more efficient!" Perhaps Sevilla should pay attention to their defence. ”

Juan de Ramos is also aware of the problem.

As the head coach of Sevilla, who is considered the second most successful coach in the club's history, Ramos is still very discerning, he sits in the dugout, and sees more than others, to Ramos's surprise, Millwall's attack is fast and fluid, and occasionally creates a direct threat.

It's not easy to do that, even when Barcelona and Real Madrid are doing well, it's hard to get the ball into a dangerous position quickly.

How did Millwall do it?

It's not just a matter of coordination, a ball from the back to the front, it takes the cooperation of several players, the fast pass will not leave too much reaction time for the players, coupled with the opponent's defensive restrictions, the player who gets the ball only has a brief moment to judge where to pass the ball.

If it's a top player in the middle, you can probably do it, but no team can be a top player, even if it's a top club, the player's passing ability is also high and low.

Now Millwall are playing this fast-paced, fluid, threatening offensive.

Ramos was a little confused.

If it weren't for Sevilla and Millwall, he would have felt that the game was arranged, and Millwall's attacking performance was so good that it was completely one level higher than Sevilla.

There is no comparison between the attacking performances of the two teams.

Even if Sevilla FC had a higher rate of possession, most of it was a passing that slowed down the tempo rather than an efficient forward pass.

That's the difference between the two sides.

Ramos continued to look with doubts, he watched very seriously, and even hoped that it was Millwall's attacks in a row that he would be able to understand why.

In the process of Ramos's "fugue out of the world", Millwall carried out several waves of attacks in a row, Sevilla felt that the defensive line was in crisis and had to retreat, but their tactics were not defensive counterattacks, when they were suppressed, they felt a little unable to play, and for a time Millwall achieved a suppressive advantage in the situation.

Millwall was a bit of a pity.

The continuous offensive just now was very smooth, when the opponent couldn't play and stabilized the backcourt defense, the offense was a bit like breaking the dense defense, and the rhythm slowed down when they played an advantage, and they thought a little proudly, "Sevilla really can't help but play!" ”

It makes them proud.

In the previous two league games, the opponents were on the defensive, with City attacking for a while, but most of the time they were on the defensive, and they were always fighting with the dense defence.

This game is different.

Sevilla took the initiative to attack, and the two sides were in an attacking posture, and Millwall fully exerted their tactical power, and the continuous offensive kept the players immersed in it.

Now it seems to be over!

Every player knows very well that the style of play of the 352 formation is to suppress the opponent with attack.

This is a tactical goal.

After hitting the set goal, they can launch an offensive around the other party, and it will not be easy for the other party to counterattack, and even say that the opponent's counterattack will become an opportunity for them.

Sevilla FC are on the defensive, and they are focusing on those who need attention.

Like Braniff, Vardy, Sneijder, and so on.

There is one player who is overlooked, and that is Simpson on the right wing, Simpson has never been a conspicuous player, in normal games, he tends to just cooperate with his teammates, and rarely breaks through by himself, and will become a cohesive wing in attack, such a style is difficult to attract the attention of opponents.

But the Simpson is by no means lacking in strength.

By now, Simpson has matured quite well, he has excellent skills at his feet, his physical ability is not bad, and he is very fast, and he is a very good frontcourt.

The best thing about Simpson is his ability to run off the ball, he always runs to key positions.

It's the same this time.

When Sevilla thought they had blocked Millwall's front, Sneijder suddenly sent the ball to Simpson's feet, and before he knew it, Simpson ran into the corner of the box and the opposing defender did not follow.

Simpson ran over to the ball and sent it to the right side of the penalty area, which immediately made the Sevilla penalty area tense.

Braniff!

Braniff is not yet a top star, but Sevilla does not dare to underestimate him, when it comes to Millwall, many people know Morris, Pire, Zambrotta, Livermore, and then it will be Braniff's turn, many football insiders believe that Braniff is better than the above, thinking that he is more skilled, and younger, or Millwall's team, a rare midfielder with strong breakthrough ability, and one of Millwall's core players.

In this game, Braniff played the forward position and was also stubbornly guarded by Sevilla.

Centre-back Navarro was the first to rush towards Braniff.

Braniff was in a better position, he struggled to turn and shoot, but he was also able to touch the ball for the first time, and when the ball rolled past, Braniff took the initiative to run and immediately met the ball with his left foot.

It's a strange move.

Many thought Braniff would pass back because he couldn't finish the shot, continued to pass in the box, and there was no object at all, but he passed the ball to the left side of the box, but there were no Millwall players on the left, left midfielder Pire couldn't run and the only Vardy was caught by two players......

Vardy?

Vardy!

"Hula!" It was only with the cacophony of noise in the audience that many noticed that Vardy had run over.

"When did he pass?"

Everyone was a little overwhelmed, and Navarro, who was defending Braniff, was a little confused, and he turned his head to see his two teammates, Paulsen and Escud, still in the middle.

At that moment, the two of them were stepping...... But it's too late!

"Vardy! Note! The Spanish commentator shouted anxiously.

Vardy didn't know when he ran to the left side of the penalty area, and the ball rolled in front of him exactly as if it had eyes.

The rest is simple.

Vardy waved his right foot without hesitation in the rhythm of running, and as the surface of his foot collided with the football, there was a muffled "bang", and the football flew into the goal without any suspense.

Goalkeeper Palop stood still and could only watch the ball go into the net.
