0122 Europa League Final 3
In this way, several times after the opening, Sevilla seized the point of Baines on the left side of Leeds United and attacked their own right side.
Keylor Navas broke through on a number of occasions and sometimes crossed low.
Then, because of the interference of the defenders, the cross will be pushed out by the Leeds United central defender, or confiscated by Van der Sar, in short, the effect is not very good.
However, Keylor Navas will cut inside more, although he is not very good at this, but because today when Baines is defending his right-hand side, the space will be a little large, so Navas will go inside. It's just that the effect is not obvious, because today's Leeds United's two backs have been going back to make up for Navas, so that he can't go to the middle.
Just when Sevilla manager Juan de Ramos was thinking about whether to switch to the left and look for Adriano.
The situation on the field has changed abruptly.
Keylor Navas chose to cut inside again, but was immediately hit by Mathieson who came up from the side, and the thin Spanish winger was stumbled.
Seeing that the football was about to lose control, and was snatched down by Gravison in front, he quickly knocked the ball and did not let the football away from him.
Navas, who found that he was about to be trapped, could only choose to pass the ball to Alves inserted on the right, but he did not choose the strength of the pass well, and his intention was too obvious, and the ball was cut off by Baines, who had been waiting on the side.
After breaking the ball, Baines directly took the ball forward, leading Alves behind him by one position.
At this time, the right side of Sevilla was empty.
Bynes can go straight in.
However, after Bynes deliberately caught up with the ball, he did not speed up again, but slowed down, and when Marty in the middle came over, he directly stuffed Matti behind him with his left foot.
Leeds United captain Alan Smith burst out from the centre to the left to pick up the football.
At the same time, it attracted Sevilla's defense in the middle to fill the hole on the right.
'I want you to deliberately put Sevilla on the right flank, Jesús Navas is a very traditional winger, you can't let him go down too comfortably or cross. If you can, Leyton you can put him in the middle, so that first of all, he is not very good at cutting inside, and we can make it easier to defend; Secondly he cuts inside, then Alves will cut forward and occupy their right flank. At this time, it will be much easier for us to fight back. ”
This is what George Lee asked for when he laid out the tactics for the players before the game, and it was also the result of discussions with the coaching staff.
After the opening, the players on the field of Leeds United executed the plan very well, except for the first two times when Baines felt a bit fake due to his overly obvious acting skills, and everything else was well executed.
When Leeds United attacked, they were mainly controlling the tempo and waiting for opportunities.
Although he has been pressing in the front court, the defense on the left side has been really high vigilance and has not rushed forward.
It was also in the 27th minute of the game that a chance was seized.
After Smith got the ball down the left, he quickly broke through with the ball and attracted the defense of the opposing centre-back Navarro.
Leeds United's two strikers went into the Sevilla penalty area to threaten.
At this time, Sevilla had only one centre-back, Esqude, in the box.
"Come back, come back." Goalkeeper Palop shouted to the other players to come back and defend.
"Retreat, hurry to the restricted area." This is the voice of the Sevilla manager.
Leeds United players are up front, Sevilla FC players are on the back.
The difference is that Sevilla's retreat is blind, while Leeds United's forward insertion here is organised, disciplined, and even premeditated.
Parker was not fast when he stepped forward, and then accelerated forward after seeing Mills and Mathieson behind him in place. Then he saw that Milner was already leaning in the middle from the right, and he began to move a little to the left.
Gravison was on and off, trying to contain the speed of the opposing midfielder.
It's just that Smith, who was on the wing, couldn't wait, and saw that the Sevilla players were rushing back, so he got up and crossed.
In the penalty area, Van Persie came to the front point from the day after tomorrow when Smith got up, making a look of grabbing the front point.
Esqude hurried to the defensive.
It's just that they were all deceived, and Smith's cross with the inside of his right foot, arced around the right, and instead of flying in front of goal, it flew past the penalty spot and flew to the back post.
Kevin Davies, who is physically strong and has a good ability to grab points, used his elbow to firmly hold Sevilla's left-back Dave, and took the first step.
When the ball flew in front of him, he put it on his forehead.
By the time Palop arrived at the back from the front point, it was too late.
I can only watch the ball fly into my own door.
“Goooooooal!!! Leeds counter-attacked perfectly with Kevin Davies netting a goal. ”
'Leeds scored the first goal and led 1-0.
Commentator Lee Dixon excitedly shouted that although he was a Arsenal player before, at this time, he stood on the side of the English team, constantly praising and praising this attack.
"Let's take a look at this wonderful goal-...... return"
While the commentator was explaining the goal in slow motion, Kevin Davis was celebrating the goal with his teammates.
Although his goal tally has not increased significantly since arriving at Leeds United, his role has been irreplaceable.
“NICE!!!”
"Well done, Kevin."
Davies walked up to the Leeds United fans, raised his hands to the cheers, and waited for his teammates to come and celebrate.
Leeds United coaches and substitutes on the sidelines also hugged and celebrated.
Van der Sar also high-fived Albuchesen, who remained at the back.
Instead, here in Sevilla, Juan de Ramos called in the team's midfielder, Maresca, and began to set up tactics.
After the game restarted, Sevilla really changed the focus of their attack, no longer attacking the right side, and began to attack the left and the middle.
Especially in the middle, there were several attempts to penetrate the middle through passes from Maresca and Martí to find Saviola.
George Li smiled softly as he watched the pass to Saviola either be cut off or immediately after receiving the ball.
Just stand on the sidelines with your hands in your pockets, look inside the pitch and look at Juan Ramos on the side.
Dude, I've been preparing for this game for a whole year, and I've been ready for those ideas of yours for a long time. Alves is used by you like this, not only is the offensive talent not available, but the defense is also easy to lose position. And Saviola, George Lee swung two midfielders and three central defenders in the first half, and even if you can jump, you "rabbit" can't escape.
George Li thought that after scoring a goal by counterattacking on the left side in the first half, he would shrink the defense and strive to maintain the lead in the first half, so that the players would be more relaxed after the break, and then make a little arrangement according to the situation in the first half at halftime, and strive to score another end game in the second half.
It's just that things didn't go according to George Li's script, and someone stole the show.
