I am the head coach

Chapter 400 Europa League Final

The time came to May 5 unknowingly, and this day ushered in the final of the Europa League.

The final will be held at Friends Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden. There are many fans in Sweden today.

Although the excitement is not as good as the Champions League final, it is also quite good.

This is not the first time Manchester United and Den Haag have met each other this season. The two teams were in the same group during the group stage.

In the first match, The Hague won Manchester United at home.

However, when they played against each other for the second time, they came to Manchester United's home court.

Hague lost the game without accident, but Xue Yang actually had the idea of ​​giving up the game in his heart.

Because the Hague at that time, the schedule was too dense.

It was time to chase points, so he gave up tactically. Anyway, the problem of qualifying for the group is not a big problem.

Although the game has not started yet, the scene is already full of fans.

Of course, Manchester United fans account for the majority, and the fan base in The Hague is still small.

Today's stadium has more than 4 seats, and the previous game in The Hague was only more than 1.

And after all, it is playing abroad, so it is impossible for all Den Haag fans to come to the scene.

But there have been quite a few, but compared with Manchester United fans, there is still a big gap.

"Hello, viewers and friends! Welcome to today's live broadcast. Today I bring you the final of the Europa League. The Hague challenged the mighty Manchester United." He Wei said in the opening commentary.

"Den Haag has a good record this season and unexpectedly won the final Eredivisie championship."

"On the other hand, Manchester United did not go so smoothly. As a traditional strong team in the Premier League, they only finished sixth."

"For Manchester United, this result is really difficult to call satisfactory."

"So this game is very important for Manchester United. To participate in the Champions League next season, Manchester United must win the Europa League final."

"Actually, after Den Haag won the Eredivisie championship, they have already qualified for the Champions League. It stands to reason that the desire to win is not as high as Manchester United."

"But this is the Europa League champion after all, I believe Hague is still very eager." Yang Chen didn't think so.

"Of course, no matter what, he is the champion of the European Championship." He Wei agreed.

In fact, he introduced it like that before, and he didn't think so.

How much paved the way for Den Haag's loss. In his opinion, Den Haag playing Manchester United is still too reluctant after all.

"Maybe most people think that Den Haag can't beat Manchester United." Yang Chen continued to explain.

"But it's not like there's no chance, because the two sides have played against each other twice this season."

"The Hague beat Manchester United, so it is possible for The Hague to win the championship."

Fans watching the live broadcast heard Yang Chen say this.

Although I still believe that Manchester United will win the championship, there are some expectations.

If Den Haag really wins the championship, Xue Yang will become the first Chinese coach to coach a European team and win the Europa League.

"First of all, Manchester United, the official gave a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 De Gea;
Defenders: 36 Damian, 17 Blind, 12 Smalling, 25 Valencia;

Midfield: 21 Herrera, 27 Fellaini, 6 Pogba;
Forwards: 22 Mkhitaryan, 19 Rashford, 8 Mata. "

"Then Den Haag, the official 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Ruyter (75);
后卫：26威廉斯（79），3鲁本·迪亚斯（80），4什克里尼亚尔（81），12邓弗里斯（76）；
中场：8殷承杰（78），25恩迪迪（81），16德容（82）；
前锋：11丹朱马（81），10徐强（82），7严方军（79）。”

Xue Yang was not surprised when he saw Manchester United's starting lineup.

It was basically within Xue Yang's expectation that Ibrahimovic missed this game due to injury.

Xue Yang had seen the news before, so there was no surprise.

As for the star Rooney, he is not young now, especially this season, his playing time has been reduced a lot.

In the Premier League this season, only 15 games have been started.

In fact, since last season, Rooney's goals have been much less.

Only scored 8 goals last season, and only 5 goals this season.

Looking at it this way, Manchester United's lineup is not that strong.

Rashford is of course powerful, but compared with Ibrahimovic, the pressure is much less.

Xue Yang's guess is similar, but Manchester United's head coach Mourinho is not the case.

Before the game, Mourinho predicted that The Hague will most likely adopt a 4-4-2 formation.

After all, Xu Qiang and Alai, the two forwards, can score goals and have a tacit understanding.

So Mourinho originally thought that Xue Yang would let the two of them start the game.

即便不是4-4-2阵型，也应该是3-5-2阵型或者是5-3-2阵型。

As a result, Mourinho guessed completely wrong, Xue Yang actually gave up on Alai.

In fact, Alai's state is not bad today. Xue Yang puts on a 4-3-3 formation, and he is more worried about ball possession.

Manchester United's midfield configuration is indeed strong, Fellaini with strong defensive ability, top midfielder Pogba and Herrera.

This kind of midfield configuration is really strong, Xue Yang has to target the following.

Otherwise, they may control the game, and Allais is of course outstanding.

But compared with Xu Qiang, Alai is a little bit worse.

Xu Qiang is not only able to score goals, but also has a stronger tactical adaptability.

Facing strong enemies, his performance was more stable, and he was also from China, so Xue Yang was somewhat selfish.

Although the pre-match prediction was wrong, Mourinho did not panic.

In his opinion, Manchester United is stronger than Den Haag, and their hope of winning the championship is still great.

But he didn't reach the level of arrogance, after all, the two sides had fought each other before.

Mourinho will not underestimate The Hague, a team from the Eredivisie, like other coaches.

Mourinho is very serious about this game, and because the Premier League results did not meet expectations.

If they don't win the Europa League, they won't be able to play in the Champions League next season.

For a team like Manchester United, there is a huge gap between having the Champions League and not having the Champions League.

Manchester United without the Champions League is not so attractive to outstanding players, so it is possible that Manchester United will not be able to buy the players they like in the next transfer window.

The Hague will play in the Champions League next season, which gives Xue Yang a lot of confidence.

He believes that next season, The Hague will be much more attractive to other players.

Although it can't attract top stars, it may be able to attract some veterans who can't get a foothold in the giants.

Or attract some potential new stars, and the competitiveness of The Hague will increase again next season.

And by next season, several Tianjin Wei players will definitely transfer and leave the team.

At that time, Den Haag will have a large transfer fee, after all, Tianjin Wei does not need to buy anyone.
