The green devil

Sevilla's counterattack came very fiercely.

The Sevilla midfielder with Banega at the core tore off the cloak of technical football and launched a fierce fight against the Spaniard.

At this time, Sevilla had the domineering power of the Europa League defending champion.

The Espanyol team is not afraid at all, and their strength is originally their strength.

If Sevilla really does not compete with the Spaniards in technology, but in their physical fitness, the chances of the Spaniards winning will be greatly increased.

Of course, the Sevillas would not be so stupid. They pressed desperately in order to make the opponent's mistakes and launch an attack on the spot in the midfield.

Sevilla's sudden full-court press effect was good. Under the press of Sevilla, a group of rough guys from the Espanyol team were in a hurry and made mistakes again and again.

This is the chance for the Sevilla.

In the 30th minute of the game, Sevilla striker Immobile pressed fiercely. Diop made a mistake in returning the pass. Immobile caught up with lightning, flicked the ball, and was ready to catch it The ball's central defender Lopez.

Let Immobile pass, then rush into the penalty area and form a single-handedly.

Lopez had no choice but to hook Immobile with his foot from behind.

beep!

The referee's whistle blew.

yellow card!Free kick!

The Spaniard has nothing to say, and there is no controversy about this penalty.

Lopez shrugged and smiled, and happily accepted the penalty. In his opinion, as long as the opponent can't score this free kick, it is a profit.

Sevilla took the free kick from their midfielder Banega.

This free kick is on the penalty area line, very close, and the curve ball has no room to fall.

The goalkeeper mainly defends the opponent from passing the ball or hitting the ground ball.

Paul is very steady, and he formed a human wall of 6 people. The gap between the human walls is very small, and he is determined not to give his opponent a chance.

The referee whistled, and Banega cunningly did not shoot directly, but paused for a while, and then vigorously pumped the ball towards the goal when the wall was thrown outward.

Banega's little move worked, and the ball flew through the slightly loose gap.

Now the Spaniard goalkeeper Paul has nothing to do.His sight was completely blocked, and by the time he saw the ball, it was too late.

The ball flies into the net with ease.

2:2

Sevilla tied the score again with Banega's free kick.

After scoring the goal, Banega didn't seem too excited. He almost expressed his congratulations with his teammates.

Obviously, Banega was not very satisfied with today's game.

In his own home court, facing a team that has given away points every year, it has been falling behind. It is no wonder that Banega is satisfied.

Emery is very satisfied with the attack just now.

The pressing siege found the opponent's weakness, and the free kick seized the opportunity.

If Sevilla's physical fitness supports even a 70-minute full-court press, this game will be won.

It's a pity that with this intensity of pressing, Sevilla can only maintain half of the game at most.

After all, not all players can run more than [-] meters at high speed.

The Spaniard coach Sergio is taking advantage of the opponent's celebration and arranging tactics for the players on the sidelines.

Faced with the opponent's full-court press and high-position press, Sergio's response is very simple, that is, to shrink the defense, open his feet, and give the ball to the opponent.

This tactic was not thought up by Sergio, it was the tactic used by Sergio's Real Madrid against Barcelona.

I have to say that this tactic is really easy to use.

The game started again, the Spaniard shrank the formation and gave the ball to Sevilla.

Sevilla's pressing tactics were useless, and they had to break through the dense defense.

Sevilla's technology is very good, but no matter how good it is, it is definitely not as good as Barcelona. Barcelona is not easy to break the dense defense, and of course Sevilla is not good.

Sevilla attacked for a while, except for a long pass, it was difficult to hit the ball into the Spaniard's penalty area.

Sevilla is very experienced, and seeing if they can't break through the opponent's defense, they retreated a bit, trying to attract the Spaniard.

But the Spaniards are not fooled, unless there is a chance to counterattack, their defense line will not easily expand outwards.

The Sevilla Tigers had nowhere to eat and played very hard, but at home, Sevilla didn't want to only get a draw, they could only take the initiative to attack.

In the final stage of the first half, the two sides changed from the opening and closing at the beginning to a boring half-court offensive and defensive drill, or a back and forth drill.

The game was boring, and the fans in the stands were a little lacking in interest. Later, they didn't even sing the team song.

He Wei, the on-site commentator, sighed: "The Spaniards are really calm, and they are really embarrassing. Although Sevilla is a veteran team, but now the Espanyol team is at the top of the standings, but if they can't bend and stretch, The Spaniards would not be where they are today."

The Spaniards didn't come out, and the Sevillas had nothing to do with them for the time being. There was not much time left in the first half of the game, and the Sevillas didn't dare to press heavily for fear of being hit by the Spaniards.

After a few minutes of painless grinding, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The players of both sides went back to the locker room to rest, sum up the gains and losses, and wait for the second half to decide the outcome.

Although the last moment was a bit dull, the fans were still very satisfied with the 4 goals scored last time.

When the players left the field, fans from both sides gave them warm applause.

Zhao Yang and Immobile, who performed well in the first half of the game, were chanted by the fans of both sides for a long time.

Back in the locker room, Spaniard coach Sergio shook hands with the players one by one.

For the first half of the game, Sergio has nothing to say, he is very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

Although the Espanyol ranks very high now, Sevilla has a solid background and is a veteran team. The Espanyol has not taken advantage of it here. Sergio thinks it is very good to be able to play like this in the first half.

Before the game, the team's goal for this game is to keep the tie and win. Three points is the best, and one point is not bad. After all, the Spaniard's goal is not the championship, but the European seat.

For the second half of the game, Sergio also made arrangements.

Sergio decided to still let the Sevilla people not take the initiative to attack and adopt defensive counterattack tactics, but once an opportunity arises, they must be bold and cautious.

Coach Emery didn't criticize the players, he simply talked about the mistakes made in the first half, and then discussed with the players how to break the opponent's dense defense.

Before the game, Sevilla didn't focus on preparing for this, because they didn't think that the Spaniard, who is ranked fourth in the league, would play an iron bucket in the away game.

In fact, if Sevilla did not press the whole court, the Spaniard did not want to shrink the defense. This was actually forced by Sevilla.

There are only a few tricks to break the iron barrel, long shots, crosses from the side and personal breakthroughs to create free kicks.

Emery asked the players to strengthen long-range shots. When crossing from the wing, they combined high-altitude balls and ground balls. If they have the ability to break through, they will break through boldly, strive for early goals, and take the initiative on the court.
