――――

Jesús Navas is the hottest player in Sevilla's youth system after Sergio Ramos and Reyes, and his best position is in right midfield, and many Spanish fans want him and Manchester City's Silva to revitalize the two wings of the national team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Keylor Navas was described as "the heart and soul of Seville" by Spain's most widely circulated newspaper.

Due to his excellent performances in Sevilla, Navas has been chased by a number of European giants, including Arsenal.

What few people know is that Keylor Navas should have been selected for the Spanish national team a long time ago, but he suffered from severe anxiety and homesickness, and felt unwell away from home for more than two days in a row, and he once withdrew because the Spanish national team's training base was too far from home.

That's why he's been playing for Sevilla.

Yes, Navas wants to leave.

Every professional player has a dream of chasing the title, and he will also want to be more famous, have more fans to support him, Navas is very confident in his own strength, Sevilla cannot provide such a platform, he also wants to be able to join the big team, but anxiety makes it difficult for him to leave his hometown.

Just in January, Keylor Navas reached an agreement with Sevilla FC, officially announcing that Navas had extended his contract until 2015 and that his contract break fee had reached 35 million euros.

It also means that Keylor Navas will have to put in a better performance to prove that he is worth the hefty contract breaker.

The new contract sounds great, but Keylor Navas is not happy with it, and he wants to get a bigger contract and a higher price.

Keylor Navas is a little jealous of a star like Mesut Ozil, who is worth a lot of money at a young age.

In European football, Mesut Ozil is more famous than Keylor Navas, and his transfer fee to Atletico Madrid is as high as 42 million euros, which is higher than Keylor Navas's contract breaking fee.

Mesut Ozil is also three years younger than Navas.

In every aspect, Navas is worse than Ozil, and it is understandable that he is a little jealous of Ozil, if Ozil shows strength, maybe Navas will admire it very much, but Ozil has been a little out of shape since the beginning of the game, and Navas feels that Ozil is not worthy of his name, so it is understandable that Navas has some disdain and provocation for Ozil.

However, Navas never knew that a single look from his eyes would provoke Ozil's fighting spirit.

――――

The game has been played for more than 25 minutes, the two teams have already played the beginning, although there is no goal yet, but the game has entered the state and become exciting.

A number of media outlets have also started commenting on past matches.

Ozil's performance is undoubtedly the focus, because Ozil's position in this game is ahead of Morris, the number of offensive possessions is the highest in Atletico Madrid, and he sits in the middle, shouldering the heavy responsibility of attacking, many media have noticed Ozil, and then they all think that Ozil is 'not in shape'.

'Mesut Ozil doesn't seem to have found his senses yet, he's been broken twice, and he hasn't been able to shine in his previous performances.

"Atletico Madrid haven't threatened so far, which has a lot to do with Ozil's poor performance......

'Maurice didn't get in too often, he was a midfielder, but Mesut Ozil was disappointing, maybe he's used to playing on the wing, he can't adapt to the middle ......

“……”

One comment after another, basically saying that Ozil's performance was not good, and various commentators also paid attention to Ozil's performance, and then thought that Ozil had not found his senses.

Another commentator even suggested, "Wan Sheng should consider replacing Ozil, his performance is too poor!" ”

This is of course impossible.

Wan Sheng originally wanted to train Ozil, put him alone in the front of the midfield, and lead the team to attack, which was a kind of exercise for him, and after only 20 minutes of the game, Ozil was replaced if he didn't perform well, isn't his approach completely meaningless?

If you want to train Ozil, you definitely can't give up halfway.

Wansheng also has the capital to do this, putting Morris in a strong midfielder behind, the team's defense is still guaranteed, Sevilla's attack is very good, but it is not easy for them to break the team's defense to complete the goal, and the two-legged match is just beginning, Atletico Madrid has enough time to perform, close to victory.

on the pitch.

Mesut Ozil was already a key target for Sevilla, and now he is picking up the attacking load in the middle, and Sevilla have spared no effort in his defence.

But that's no reason for Ozil's poor performance.

C-Ronaldo, Messi and other players are also very tightly defended, it can be said that they have to withstand greater defensive pressure than Ozil now in every game, but they can still have an excellent performance, which is what outstanding stars have to face, Ozil is not a special one.

Now Mesut Ozil has to face defensive pressure again – Jokola and Alexis.

The 31-year-old is a well-known Ivory Coast player who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, where he "made a name for himself" and became the team's main midfielder, and in the summer of 2009, he moved to Sevilla.

Alexis was one of Spain's best centre-backs, and in 2006/07 Alexis moved to Getafe, where he was the heart of the defence and conceded the fewest goals that season (33 goals conceded in 38 games).

The combined defense of these two players is powerless for any player.

Ozil met Jokola first with the ball, he wanted to pass the ball, but he didn't find a good position, so he planned to speed up to get rid of Jokora, Jokola couldn't follow at the first time, Alexis immediately came over to make up for the defense, and the two teams attacked Ozil back and forth.

On both occasions Ozil was cut off by similar defences, and when they saw Ozil fall into the loop again, the commentators thought that Ozil would not escape the result of being tackled.

"Ozil is surrounded again! Is he going to be cut off again? ”

Many Atletico Madrid fans also lamented that Ozil should have chosen to pass the ball for the first time, and now it is too late to pass the ball.

Seeing Alexis rushing in front of him, Ozil was very unwilling, he had been cut off twice just now, but he didn't want to be cut off again, he tried his best to cross the ball with both feet, trying to deceive the opponent, but the experienced Alexis was not moved at all.

Jokola was still squeezing his position next to him, and Ozil was a little unstable.

At this time, Ozil gritted his teeth, ran forward again, and at the same time cushioned the ball to the left, Zokola thought that Ozil was going to pass the ball, and the action paused for a moment, and Ozil took the opportunity to twist his waist and accelerate to the left!

Alex Siston was thrown out of a position!

"Mesut Ozil has broken through!"

The narrator exclaimed.

The Sevilla fans also exclaimed that if Alexis were to be crossed, their goal would be in danger.

Alexis was certainly not so easy to pass, and Mesut Ozil didn't intend to get past the opposition into the box, and a position was enough, so he spotted the spot and kicked the ball to the left.

Football rushes into the left side of the penalty area!

A figure followed—Antonio Reyes!

Reyes meets the ball and volleys!

As the Sevilla fans panicked, the ball went straight to the far corner on the right side of the goal, but unfortunately, goalkeeper Palop saw the position and saved the ball safely.

"Palop was very composed...... It's a pity ......."

'Reyes had a very powerful shot, but more importantly Mesut Ozil's performance, he got past Alexis and Zokola to create good chances......

Reyes covered his face with regretful hands.

Ozil walked over and patted Reyes on the shoulder to comfort, "It's okay, the game has just begun!" There are still many opportunities. ”

Wan Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, also felt sorry for this goal, Reyes's shot was not bad, but he was too keen on the angle and the speed was not enough, so that Palop successfully saved.

But Wan Sheng was pleased with the performance of Ozil in attack.

Mesut Ozil had been cut off twice before, but this time the Sevilla defence used the same approach, but Ozil learned his lesson and shook off his opponent and managed to get the ball into the best position.

This is progress!

Wan Sheng is not surprised that Mesut Ozil can perform like this, he is already a top player in the world, and he hopes that Ozil can maintain it and truly show the style and ability of a world-class football player.

――――

After this attack, Ozil's performance improved significantly.

Perhaps it was the confidence brought by Alexis' success that Ozil continued to play in the frontcourt, either by individual breakthroughs or by organizing the whole team to use short passes to infiltrate, and every attack can bring a lot of threat.

The Sevilla defence was somewhat precarious.

At this point, the situation on the field has become different, the two teams played evenly before, and now Atletico Madrid has a clear advantage in attack.

Sevilla know very well that the reason lies with Mesut Ozil, whose position is too crucial for Atletico Madrid's attack, as long as they can limit Ozil, they can limit Atletico Madrid's overall attack.

But star players aren't so easy to limit!

Players like Ozil have very strong personal ability, even if they are specifically looking for players to defend alone, it is difficult to restrict, because he is much stronger than ordinary players in terms of explosiveness and technique, as long as there is a ball, he can directly shake off the opponent, and the targeted defensive effect is not obvious, the key is that Ozil has Aguero and Klose in front of him, Raul Garcia and Reyes on both sides, and Morris who has been performing strongly behind him, when he gets the ball, there will be a lot of options, and he is not afraid of Sevilla's targeted pressing.

If it was better to cooperate with his teammates, Sevilla would have been able to hold on to the goal as long as they had a solid defence, and the biggest headache for Sevilla was Ozil's occasional individual breakthrough.

Wan Sheng gave Ozil a high degree of freedom, and when he had the chance, he did not hesitate to show his technical ability.

When Mesut Ozil breaks through one Sevilla player, Sevilla's defence becomes porous, and if he breaks through two Sevilla players, their defence is almost as if it were broken.

That's where star players come in.

Football tactics are crucial, but any tactic needs someone to execute, so the player's ability is even more important, even if it is a 100% tight defence, as long as it is breached, there are loopholes.

That's what Ozil did!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Mesut Ozil received a pass and rushed through the middle, he used a small swing of his body to confuse Renato, and then faced Alexis, suddenly changed direction and accelerated, so that the latter could not follow in the first place, and then he rushed straight into the penalty area.

"Attention!"

"MD, what are you doing!"

"Stop him!"

In the panic of the Sevilla players, Ozil dribbled the ball straight in, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Palop, he calmly swung his left foot --

Shot!

The ball goes straight to the bottom right corner!

Goalkeeper Palop made a save, but he pounced on the ...... Left side, then can only turn around and watch the football plunge into the side netting (to be continued). )
