At the pre-match press conference, Stevens was very humble, saying that both teams had won this championship before, but Schalke 04 had not reached the final for many years, while Atletico Madrid had just won the championship. Soon, with more experience in the Europa League, the Miners still have to focus on stability if they want to win the championship. Only by focusing on defense can they pursue victory.
Simeone looks like a big boss, but in fact he is so clever that he can't catch it at all. The more Stevens emphasizes defense, the more he praises their offense: "Schalke 04's offense is very good, they always Being able to create scoring opportunities and comeback even when they are behind by a big score. They have the top scorer in the Bundesliga and a young player who has scored 13 goals in the Europa League. I am surprised. He is actually only eighteen years old..."
Yes, the imagined war of words didn't happen, but the media believed that the more polite they were now, the more vulgar and brutal they would be on the court.
On May 10, the 2011-2012 Europa League final started on time.
More than 50,000 seats were filled to capacity. The stands on one side were red and white, and the stands on the other side were uniformly blue, clearly distinguishing each other.
Schalke was drawn to the home locker room. Yang Yunsong's seat was not far behind the home team's bench. He was surrounded by colleagues, relatives and friends, all of whom often watch football. It's not that they didn't even understand offside and would only carelessly defend Yang. The kind that Feng praised.
"Hahaha, I bought Xiaofeng Hat Trick, I feel like I can make a small profit this time."
"I bought Atletico Win and Xiaofeng Top Scorer."
"The top scorer should be stable, after all, he has three more goals than Falcao."
"It's hard to say. Schalke's defense is really fucked up. Falcao seems to have failed this season. He might be able to catch up. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's defense is disgusting..."
"After Stevens came to Schalke 04 again, he instilled his unique football ideas into the team and molded the former Shakhtar into a highly entertaining team. With his efforts, Schalke 04 Learned to be the protagonist of every game while retaining the tough personality of the past.
No matter what kind of opponent they face, they strive to take the initiative in the game. It is through this style of play that Stevens' team eliminated Twente, Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon.
Atletico Madrid's style of play is completely different. They often give possession of the ball to the opponent, and from time to time they also adopt the tactics of long passes and lobs, using the simplest method to give their opponents a fatal blow.
Simeone's team does not pursue the smoothness of the game because they know that as long as they can get the ball upfield, Falcao, Adrian, Diego and Arda Turan will help the team solve it question……"
“Winning the championship is the common goal of both teams, and their journey to the finals is enough to prove that both sides have the ability to win the trophy.
Atletico Madrid's performance in La Liga has been up and down, but they have shown their best side in the European arena. In the process of reaching the final, Simeone's team achieved an excellent record of 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and achieved With the feat of 11 consecutive victories, they were the favorites to win the championship from the beginning, and their success today was expected by many people.
Of course, their opponents are not ordinary, because the opponent achieved a good result in second place in the just-concluded Bundesliga, and missed out on the championship only because of lagging behind on goal difference, but don't let it be because of their low goal difference. I thought their striker was weak. On the contrary, Schalke 04's striker is one of the most efficient combinations in the Bundesliga and the Europa League. The hry combination of Huntelaar, Raul and Yang Feng has devastated many European teams. Despite the pain, Chinese striker Yang Feng is still the player with the most goals in the Europa League this season, scoring a total of 13 goals. "
“Let’s look at both lineups.
The only main player absent from Atletico Madrid is the suspended Portuguese midfielder Thiago. In addition, Silvio and Merida are also unable to play.
Atletico Madrid's most powerful thing is their attacking line. The attacking lineup composed of Falcao, Adrian, Arda Turan and Diego is enough to destroy any defensive line.
Behind them, Mario Suarez and veteran Gabi will be responsible for intercepting the opponent's attack.
The defense is composed of Simeone's usual four players, Juanfran, Godin, Miranda and Felipe Luis.
The goalkeeper is Courtois, who is 1.99 meters tall. He will be a powerful weapon against Huntelaar and Yang Feng. "
"Schalke 04 has a 4-3-3 formation.
The three forwards are Raul, Huntelaar and Yang Feng.
The three midfielders are Farfan, Heger and Draxler.
The four defenders are Atsuto Uchida, Matip, Hurwedes and Fuchs.
Goalkeeper Onner Starr.
Before the game, the focus of both sides was on the battle between Yang Feng and Falcao, but in fact there is another figure that must be mentioned in this game, and that is the famous Spanish forward Raul.
Raul is the former captain of Real Madrid, but he actually came from the youth training of Atletico Madrid. It can be said that without Atletico Madrid, there would be no Raul. His mood now should be very complicated..."
In the locker room, Yang Feng held his own water bottle to Raul's mouth, "May I ask this former horse racing player, how do you feel about the upcoming match against your old club?"
"I have mixed feelings," Raul sighed deeply. "I want to beat them by ten goals, but it feels too cruel. Maybe we should win less?"
“How much less is winning less?”
"Huh? Five?"
"Then I will be responsible for three, and you and Huntelaar will take one each?"
"Why not three of me?"
"Wake up, your character values love and justice. You should be grateful when facing your old master. Even if you face an empty door, you can't bear to step down. Entering one has already damaged your image..."
Raul turned to look at the others, "No one will have any objection if I break his legs now, right?"
Brother Monkey said: "Believe me, the coach and the fans will kill you in the most cruel way you can think of."
That's what Stevens saw when he walked in.
"Very good. Everyone's mood seems good. Maybe the morale-boosting part can be skipped?"
Farfan cried out: "Yes, boss, I can fight ten now."
"That's right," Stevens nodded, "One Farfan will fight ten, and the remaining ten of you will fight one, no problem, right?"
Farfan: "..."
"What needs to be said has been said. We have worked hard all season, and now it's time to reap the rewards," Stevens said. "We have already won a runner-up, and I don't want to win another one."
Yang Feng said: "Going to tmd Double Asia King, it feels terrible to get second place."
Hewedes's eyes lit up while he was adjusting the captain's armband.
There is a slogan.
He immediately stood up and took the lead in shouting: "Fuck you Shuangya King! I want to win the championship!"
"Go to hell Shuangya King!"
"Come on! Champion!"
