The first leg was played at home, and Emery deployed a 4231 formation.
Two defensive midfielders, one is Steven N'Zonzi, a black defensive midfielder who just transferred from Stoke City in the Premier League this summer and is taller than Salman.
Although N'Zonzi is tall and strong, he has good footwork and is good at both short and long passes.
In the defensive midfielder position, he not only has defensive ability, but also has the ability to organize passes.
La Liga media say that this guy plays like Busquets.
The other defensive midfielder is a Portuguese, Daniel Carrico.
He is 1.8 meters tall and has joined Sevilla for three years. He can play as a defensive midfielder or a central defender.
His role on the field is very similar to that of Rijkaard, Matthäus and Mascherano.
Although Carrico is not as good as the above three, he can run and steal on the defensive end, and can often help the team at critical moments.
From the combination of the two defensive midfielders, it can be seen that Emery wants to play something on both offense and defense.
On January 22, 2016, at the Olympic Stadium, the first round of the two sides started!
Jimenez deployed a 442 formation in this game, and there were no new players in La Coruna this winter.
Brozovic is still the single defensive midfielder, and Su Wei returns to his old position, playing as a right back.
The purpose of Jimenez doing this is not only to let Su Wei strengthen the wing defense, but also to let Su Wei advance and attack the city for La Coruna!
At the pre-match preparation meeting, Jimenez told Su Wei to rush forward boldly in the game.
At the same time, he also warned Salmon, Van Dijk and Brozovic that when Su Wei pressed forward, they should pay attention to protecting their backs.
These three are all die-hard supporters of Su Wei in La Coruña. As soon as Jimenez finished speaking, Van Dijk was the first to pat his chest and said, "Su, just press forward, brothers will help you guard the base camp!"
Salmon and Brozovic also nodded frequently. With several good brothers helping him to cover the back, Su Wei played very unrestrainedly in this game.
As soon as the game started, he rushed across the center line after only three or four minutes.
Brozovic saw it and immediately made a long pass.
Su Wei touched the ball on the wing, and Sevilla's left forward Vitolo was the first to defend head-on.
This was not the first time the two had played against each other. Vitolo knew Su Wei's strength well, so he did not dare to rush to grab it rashly.
He just stood in his position and waited for his teammates' support.
Emery waved on the sidelines and shouted loudly to other players to come to support.
The left-back Escudero and the middle Carrico rushed towards Su Wei.
From a bird's eye view, Sevilla's defense was very fast.
In just a few seconds, three burly men gathered on the right!
The space less than 20 meters in front of Su Wei was already full.
Seeing this, the commentators on the scene were all making plans for Laco's attack: "Sevilla's defense is in place, Laco players should hurry over to respond, and then wait for Su's pass."
Farina in the middle was approaching Su Wei, but Su Wei did not choose to pass the ball. He first lowered his shoulder to the left, and then a fried meatball to the right, instantly shaking off Bitolo's defense.
Then facing Escudero and Carrico who pressed up together, Su Wei made another silky cut inside, making the two instantly become the background board.
In just two or three seconds, the three people who were originally blocking Su Wei were all left behind by Su Wei.
Looking at Su Wei who easily reached the front of the penalty area, the Sevilla fans who were still calm in the last second stood up instantly, their faces full of tension and eagerness.
"Enzongqi, hurry up and fill in the position!"
"Rami, you come out too, this kid has a long shot!"
Enzongqi and Rami, who are closest to Su Wei, also moved.
One of them is outside the penalty area, and the other is inside the penalty area, moving horizontally towards Su Wei.
They are ready to work with the three people behind Su Wei to increase the intensity of Su Wei.
The idea is good, but they forgot that Su Wei's pass is more threatening, and Su Wei is not fighting alone.
This dozens of meters of dribbling breakthrough instantly attracted five Sevilla defenders.
And Salman, who has already entered the penalty area, is in a state of being missed.
Su Wei is alone when he should be alone, and he is not vague when he should cooperate.
Seeing Salman running out of position in the penalty area, he immediately made a diagonal pass, and the ball passed between N'Zonzi and Rami.
The ball was given just right and fell to the penalty spot
At the feet of Salman nearby.
Salman is definitely a master at hitting the ball!
He didn't even stop the ball, but pushed it with his arch of his foot, and the ball quickly hit the lower right corner of the goal.
Goal, 0:1!
Less than five minutes after the start, Laco took the lead away from home.
The commentator who had just asked Su Wei to take it easy apologized immediately: "I take back what I said just now, as long as the ball is at Su's feet, it is the most threatening!"
Another commentator immediately echoed: "It's impossible to defend it. Now I can understand why many fans are complaining about FIFA's annual team on the Internet! Su will be included next year no matter what!"
"Haha, I guess the best team will not work next year. If they continue to play like this, this kid will have a chance to win the Golden Ball!"
...
Leading at the start made Sevilla a little confused.
It's a bit inappropriate to press forward. After all, in two rounds of games, it doesn't seem to be time to fight for life yet.
If they don't press forward, they will fall behind 0:1 at home, which is not a good situation.
For a while, Sevilla was divided into two factions, one wanted to attack, the other wanted to play safe.
On the other hand, the players of La Coruna were of the same mind. When they were ahead, they would first consolidate their defense and then counterattack when they had the chance.
Moreover, Farina, Brozovic, and Su Wei were all stable outlets.
Su Wei, who was a full-level passer, broke through Sevilla's defense with a long pass from the backcourt many times.
It was just that Sevilla was lucky. Salman and Du Jie each had a post, and neither of them turned the defense into a goal.
During the halftime break, Jimenez was very satisfied with the performance in the first half.
He encouraged everyone a few words, and did not make any changes to the lineup and playing style.
Emery of Sevilla was very anxious, looking at the players who were confused and lost in the first half because of La Coruna.
He asked to strengthen the high-pressure defense in the second half and put pressure on La Coruna's midfield and backcourt!
After the halftime break, the battle in the second half was rekindled!
Sevilla finally unified their thinking on the front line. With the cheers of the home fans, they pressed forward in large numbers and intensified the pressing in the frontcourt!
