"Hello everyone, welcome to the broadcast of the Europa League final brought to you by the BBC. I am Lee Dixon."
"I'm Joe Champion."
"What we are seeing now is that in the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, the fans of both sides are very enthusiastic. A large number of English and Spanish fans came to the Netherlands to cheer for their teams."
"Now the players from both sides are entering the stadium immediately. On the left is Sevilla wearing red jerseys, and on the right is Leeds United wearing white jerseys. Today's referee is from Germany."
"Now the players from both sides enter the stadium and they pass by the octagonal trophy representing the Europa League champions. This trophy was designed and made by Italian designer Bertoni in 1972."
"Okay, let's first introduce the starting players of the two teams today. The first is Sevilla in the red jersey. They are in a 442 formation today. The goalkeeper is Palop from Spain. The four defenders from left to right are Dai , Escud, Navarro and Alves, among which Navarro was suspended for accumulated yellow cards in the last game, but in the final, he ended his suspension and returned to the team."
"The midfield is also lined up, from left to right, Adriano, Maresca, Marti and Navas."
"The two strikers are No. 7 Saviola and No. 10 Fabiano."
"Leeds United, let's take a look."
"Today head coach Li laid out the same 532 defensive formation as in the previous semifinal, and did not use the 433 and 3241 formations they often used."
"The defense is led by Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar, and the five defenders from left to right are Baines, Matthiessen, Albchesson, Mills and Milner. Albchesson was also in the previous round just now He only returned from injury in the final game of the Premier League, and he started today."
"The three midfielders are Parker, Gravesen and Smith. We have seen that Dutch star Edgar Davis has gradually faded out of the starting lineup this season. It is said that after the end of the season, he will return to play in the Dutch League. .”
"The two forwards are Robin van Persie and Kevin Davis."
"Okay, the game is about to start and we see the kick-off from Sevilla."
Just as Saviola and Fabiano were preparing to kick off, Sevilla's head coach kept staring at Li George on the other side with two eyeballs.
He didn't expect that George Lee would form such a lineup. This was obviously aimed at his two wings. Such a relatively conservative formation was rarely used by Leeds United.
"Du~" the whistle sounded and the game started.
Fabiano rubbed the ball, and then Saviola passed the ball back to Maresca, who once again passed it back to Navarro.
Although Leeds United has a conservative formation, it is not very conservative in tactics and still insists on high pressure.
After the kick-off, Davis rushed forward to harass Sevilla's defense. When Navarro saw Davis coming forward, he gave the ball to his teammate Escud. .
As soon as Estude stopped the ball, Davis just passed over from Navarro, and then his other half, Smith, rushed over immediately, trying to double-team him, but Estude also Not afraid, ready to pass back to his goalkeeper.
"Be careful!" "Be careful!"
Left back David and goalkeeper Palop shouted.
A No. 9 in a white jersey rushed out from Navarro and ran directly towards the football.
Palop quickly attacked, otherwise something big would happen.
Finally, before Van Persie was about to touch the ball, Palop first made a sliding tackle to kick the ball out of the dangerous range, and then immediately chased the ball.
Fortunately, his teammate, Escud, who almost missed the pass just now, took the lead and destroyed the ball out of the baseline.
"Asshole, be careful!"
Juande Ramos shouted loudly off the court, reminding himself to be careful with the players.
Lee, on the other hand, applauded his players to indicate that they were doing well.
After all, you give your opponent a powerful start from the beginning and overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
Subsequently, Leeds United sent a sideline ball. After two or three passes, the ball was intercepted by Sevilla.
Alves grabbed the ball passed by Graveson to Van Persie, started to dribble forward, and when he was about to reach the midfield, he passed the ball to Navas in front.
As soon as Navas got the ball, he put on a posture of breaking through and wanted to take advantage of Baines' defense.
After two seasons of training, Baynes has grown a lot and is no longer the young boy. He now keeps staring at the ball at Navas' feet and does not deliberately kick it to avoid being passed.
When Baines was staring at Navas, Navas was also staring at Baines. He kept changing his rhythm, trying to deceive Baines through rhythm changes.
Sure enough, after two consecutive changes of center of gravity, Baynes stepped forward a little more with his left foot, and Navas discovered the flaw. He buckled with his right foot and tried to pass from Baynes' right side.
However, just when Navas went to the center, Graveson from Leeds United immediately blocked his path and could only choose to pass the ball.
Navas passed the ball to Saviola behind Gravesen, and the Argentine "rabbit" made a breakthrough. In fact, he wanted to ask Parker who had been following him, but he failed.
He had no choice but to pass the ball back to Maresca who came in from behind. Maresca hit the ball with a long shot.
The ball was fast and high. Van der Sar made a symbolic jump and found that the ball was definitely going out. He had no other actions. He turned around to get the ball and took the goal kick.
"Bah bang bang~" There was sparse applause in the stadium. It was the fans from Sevilla. After all, this was the first shot in the game. As a fan, you must encourage it.
Van der Sar took the goal kick and passed the ball to Mills. After Mills took the ball, he found that the opponent had not come up, so he took two steps forward and passed it to Milner on the right.
Milner received the ball, Adriano came up to press, and Milner returned to Mills.
Mills then passed the ball to the left, passing through the feet of Parker and Matteisen, and then to the feet of Baynes.
Baines cooperated with Graveson, and after passing Navas, he saw Alves coming over.
Just a big foot, long diagonal pass to find Kevin Davis at the front.
It's just that the ball was not passed well and was pushed away by Navarro, who stood up early.
The ball flew to the feet of Marty, who crossed directly and passed it to Navas on the right. Navas started again, preparing to break through.
This time, Baines stood a little to the left again, and Navas completed the cut from his right side, but his way was blocked by Gravesen again.
The difference is that this time he cannot pass to Saviola, because Parker is standing in the passing lane, and Maresca, who is receiving in the midfield, is also being stared at by Smith.
Navas made a U-turn, turned to face the right, and passed the ball to Alves who came in from the right.
Alves made a sudden move and went to the baseline, but he was immediately double-teamed by Matteisson and Baines. After being restricted to a small space, the two Leeds United defenders began to stretch their legs, and finally The ball hit Alves' legs and went out of play.
Baines wanted to get the ball, but Alves lifted the ball in advance and wanted to throw the ball from the sideline.
"du~"
The referee signaled, looking at the linesman's flag, it was a touchline ball from Leeds United.
Alves threw the ball and walked away cursing.
Baynes picked up the ball and was about to serve the ball from the sideline, but his eyes were looking at the opposite coach.
At this time, George Li was desperately shaking his head at Baynes.
Boy, that's a little too obvious.
