719. Prologue to the goal
Thank you book friend "Fengyue" for yesterday's 10,000 tip, thank you.

In the domestic fan circle, such a joke is circulating.
There are four tough teams in world football:
The senior relegation teams in the major leagues, Arsenal in the fourth stage, the Chinese men's football team playing in the warm-up game, and Sevilla in the Europa League.
Especially after winning the Europa League in 2014 and 2015, Sevilla has also become a well-deserved "King of the Europa League" with 4 titles.
Compared with Liverpool, who only play in Europe once every three years on average, Sevilla FC has significantly more experience in European competition in recent years, and winning two championships has made them even more confident.
Although Liverpool, who have just won the Premier League title, are at their peak in morale, and have Lonshit, a goal machine with more than 160 goals in a single season on all fronts, Sevilla are confident of playing against each other.
Their manager is Spaniard Unai Emery, who has led the team to two consecutive Europa League victories, and he has already received an olive branch from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, and as long as they win against Liverpool, he can turn around and leave in style.
Longshute?
He's not scared at all!
Because there are countless holes in Liverpool's defense, as long as Sevilla catch a little bit, they can penetrate them!
-
Unai Emery's calculations are very good, and he has made it clear in the previous week's tactical training that the main target is Liverpool's left side, whether it is Coutinho or Moreno, they are not the type to defend safely, and this area is obviously easier to break through.
But when the two sides lined up the lineup on the field, he was dumbfounded:
Coutinho and Moreno did both play on the left, but Liverpool's backline ...... But there are three central defenders standing!
"Rodgers still chose to play it safe in the crucial final, with the three central defenders of Sako, Bard and Lovren coming on at the same time, and Moreno and Klein on both sides, with five defenders able to defend Mignolet's goal to the fullest, and the veteran Skrtel and Flanagan on the bench, who are gradually recovering from injury, ready to play."
Zhan Tianjun is sitting in the media box to introduce the lineup:
In the frontcourt combination, Rodgers is also the main force, the main and deputy captains Ronshette and Henderson sit in the middle, Coutinho and Firmino are on the wings, the main Indian striker Sturridge is a single forward, and there are Bentekeke, Lallana, Milner and Emre Can be replaced on the bench. Zhang Zhi, what do you think of this starting lineup? ”
Guest Zhang Lu thought for a few seconds and opened his mouth unhurriedly:
"Liverpool seem to be tight at the back, but there is a lot of space between the front and back, Coutinho and Lallana are clearly the type to attack more than defending, and it is difficult to effectively intercept Sevilla's attack with only two people, Lonjut and Emre Can."
Rogers also sweated.
As a professional coach, would he not know about the problems that the Chinese commentators can see?
The situation on the field of football is changing rapidly, strength and luck will account for a certain percentage, where is the 100% flawless squad and tactics?
Even Barcelona at its peak and Bayern Munich at their peak did not beat their opponents in every game, and there were even cases of losing to relegation teams.
Rogers has long understood a truth:
Even if you give Liverpool's top defenders, they may not be able to defend against their opponents!
If you can't prevent it, why don't you score a few more goals?!
-
After all, it was a winner-or-lose final, with neither Liverpool nor Sevilla taking the lead lightly after the opening.
After a few minutes of probing each other, the offensive gradually picked up.
In the 8th minute, Klein launched a long pass on the right, Sturridge's header in the front of the penalty area rubbed back, and Coutonho, who was outflanked on the left, met the ball with a furious shot, but was saved by Sevilla's goalkeeper Soria.
Two minutes later, the midfielder sent a 30-metre through ball and Firmino burst into the box to try to cut inside, but was knocked to the ground with his thigh by the opposition defender.
The Brazilian striker immediately asked the referee for a penalty, but the referee from Sweden, Christian Eriksen, was unmoved, and even followed the Sevilla players on the counterattack to Liverpool's half.
Thankfully, neither Ronshette nor Jordan Henderson were out of position, with the Reds' captains teaming up to contain their opponents' fast attacks and regain possession at their own feet.
In the 13th minute, Liverpool made a comeback, Bad Stuber hung directly into the field, Coutinho crossed the ball from the left side, Sturridge pulled the onion at the far post and shook his head to attack the goal, although the football bypassed the goalkeeper, but was cleared by the defender who was driven back from the goal line......
"Huh? Pity! That's less than 10 centimeters away! ”
Zhan Tianjun slapped his thigh and sighed for this close shot.
But as soon as his right hand landed on his thigh, he saw Liverpool attack again!
Because it was a barb clearance, the Sevilla defenders didn't have any idea at all, just tried to reflexively kick the ball to the back.
The kick was so powerful that it not only flew out of the box, but almost crossed the halfway line.
Lovren leaped back and forth, unloaded the ball with his chest, and managed to move laterally before striker Gameiro could pounce.
Sacco subconsciously took a few steps, and saw that Long Shute's eyes were a little strange.
"There's no one in front of me pressing, so I can't dribble the ball? Will this ball be conceded too? ”
He couldn't help but mutter, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly passed it to Captain Long, who retreated to answer.
"Dragon!"
Ronshette was about to catch the ball and turn when he heard Henderson's voice not far away.
He didn't look back, but didn't hesitate to slam the ball behind him with his heel, as if he had a long eye in the back of his head, and completed a man-ball pass.
Corke, who was hiding behind him, ready to wait for the rabbit and the monkey to steal the peach, looked shocked, he couldn't understand at all, how could Long Shute have the confidence to break through himself with such an understatement move?!
With just one turn and three steps to speed up, Ronshit struck a lightning bolt in Sevilla's half!
No one can catch up with him!
No one can stop him!
Sevi's two midfielders, Nzunzi and Korehowiak, couldn't react and didn't close the gate in the middle at the first time, and then they could only watch a fiery red flame whistling through the space between the two!
Sturridge to the left, Firmino to the right, and Liverpool's two forwards running towards different defences at the same time, using their respective movements to pull at least one defender and provide cover for their captain.
Teams all over the world know that when he enters the half, he has to be interfered with at all times, otherwise he will almost always pose a huge threat to the goal whenever he shoots with his feet.
He is a man who can shoot an average of 3 times in 90 minutes.
He is the most ejaculating man in the world.
Seve goalkeeper Soria was so excited that his legs almost cramped, and the two central defenders in front of him had been deceived by Liverpool's strikers out of position, and he had to save himself!
Although there were at least four players on both sides between Soria and Ronshit, he felt ...... It's as if you're fighting one-on-one with each other!
It was clear that Ronshit was still more than 20 meters away from the goal, but Soria felt ...... It's closer than a penalty spot!
Soria's eyes were only on the approaching Dragon, and he pounced through gritted teeth!
Staying on the goalline will only sit and wait!
He must expand the defensive area!
"Boom!"
There was a not-so-dull sound over the stadium at St. Jacob's Park.
Soria, who had just rushed out of the small penalty area, couldn't help but raise her head.
He saw a wonderful arc in his eyes.
It is not a powerful explosion, nor is it a shock like thunder and lightning, nor is there a difficult performance of a gymnastics master......
The red captain No. 8 was nothing more than in the process of advancing with the ball...... Rub the ball gently!
Like a well-behaved black and white elf, the ball slowly rose in the air, bypassing the panicked Soria, and finally fell gracefully!
In the 15th minute of the game, the Liverpool captain opened the prelude to the goal in the Europa League final!
Liverpool 1-0!
