shadow striker

"After yesterday's fierce competition, the semi-finals of this year's Europa League have been announced. They are Liverpool from the Premier League, Sporting Lisbon from the Portuguese Super League, and Roma and Torino from the Serie A.

Among them, the biggest dark horse in this year's Europa League is of course Serie A Torino, which has just returned to Serie A last season and immediately won the Europa League ticket!Torino's promotion all the way has been attributed by many to their luck.In the group stage they were in a group with Werder Bremen, Sparta Prague and Salzburg.Unlike many teams that meet each other as soon as they enter the knockout round, the Turin team encountered Zurich, which was even more unpopular than it, in the round of 32 knockout rounds.

But until the 8/1 finals, the elimination of Ajax made the Turin team famous in the first battle, and quickly gained the attention of fans from all over Europe.And in the just-concluded 4/1 finals, they eliminated AEK Athens, which was previously considered by the media to be likely to repeat the Greek myth in the 04 European Cup.The third Serie A team to meet Athens AEK in this Europa League finally smashed the opponent's name as a Serie A killer.

Coupled with Roma's hard-fought victory over Fenerbahce, the semi-finals' exclusive two seats have allowed Serie A to realize their bumper harvest in this Europa League.This is almost something that Serie A has not encountered in decades!Next, let us take an inventory of the top four teams in this Europa League! "

The European media made an inventory of the top four teams in the Europa League, and used data to compare players in the same position in the teams that are about to meet, so as to figure out which team may occupy more Advantage.

The first to be compared is Turin and Sporting Lisbon.

"This year's Serie A has two places in the semi-finals of the Europa League. It can also be a big news, that is, the two teams that have reached the semi-finals are both teams that advocate offense. 433 has obviously become a national team Roma team formation in the season. In Turin, the 4231 formation has also been formed after the winter break. From the perspective of modern football, the 4231 formation can be called perfect. It emphasizes offense and defense, but it does not Easy to use.

In fact, the head coach of the Turin team, Delo, has always wanted to use this formation in the Turin team.And he has been experimenting with this formation in the league.But it is a pity that due to the incomplete type of players, the Turin team has not been able to use this formation to lethality.

Then the club spent a lot of money in the transfer market, and invited Derico, the king of midfield who had dominated Campno for ten years, to Turin.He also introduced a monster-level right winger from the river plate, and a full-back Sanche who always yearns to become a winger.Coupled with the extremely aura on the court, the elegant style of the ball, and the fast shadow forward Yue, the 4231 formation of the Turin team was finally completed.Despite the away game against AEK Athens

In the second round of the game, the Turin team resorted to a 451 style of play.But we believe that the formation of 4231 is most likely to appear when Torino plays against Sporting Lisbon in the next game. "

When the TV host said this, photos of Derico, Parel, Sanche, and Yue Yihuang appeared on the TV screen one after another.In the end...the picture was fixed on Francisco.

Yes, that is the magic weapon of the Turin team, powerful center Francisco.

In the "4231" position in 4, the Turin team has two full-backs with both offense and defense and extremely fast speed, Nilva and Sanche.The position of the central defender includes the Eagles Innedi and Corell.In the position of the double defensive midfielder, Tiar is responsible for defense, while Dricaro is responsible for organizing offense.On the offensive line, Cassell and Parel's two-wing forwards flew together.And standing where the soul of this formation is, it is Yue Yihuang who is the midfielder.Coupled with a nearly perfect center like Francisco, the Turin team's big kill seems to have become a predictable thing.

"Let's focus on Sporting Lisbon. This season, Sporting Lisbon is obviously playing a 352 formation. Obtain absolute control of the midfield and adopt an oppressive style of play. And Sporting Lisbon has completely emphasized the formation of midfield control. The taste of bloody play. Yes, compared to the Turin team's advocating offense without losing the aristocratic elegance, this team from the Portuguese League is more aggressive in its style of play. In making the game more While looking good, their movements will be bigger.

Moreover, the contest between these two teams is likely to ultimately determine who will be the top scorer in this year's Europa League!Until now, the battle for the top scorer of this year's Europa League has basically fallen on Francisco of Turin and Sardis of Sporting Lisbon!

So, who will be the top scorer in this Europa League?An aristocratic gentleman from Italy, or a tough guy from Portugal?let us wait and see. "

The competition for the top scorer of this Europa League will produce results in the next round of the Europa League.However, the crown of the assist king has almost been won by Yue Yihuang, the shadow striker who also came from the Turin team.And of course he will also be the Torino player who was heavily marked by Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals.As long as the shadow striker who is in the front midfielder position is completely marked, the center of the Turin team will inevitably be cut off.

However... due to the violent impact that Francisco can bring to the opposing team, it will become a big problem for Sporting Lisbon to defend against Yue Yihuang who is behind him.

Four days before the first leg against Sporting Lisbon, Torino delivered yet another victory.After defeating Parma and Udinese in a row, the Turin team defeated Inter Milan in the No.4 ninth round of Serie A on April 13.They achieved four consecutive victories after the trough, and rushed to the No.20 position in the Serie A standings in one fell swoop in the second half of the Serie A league, which was more difficult than the first half of the league.

For Turin, which is eager to enter the Champions League, this news is particularly surprising.

To this end, the Turin team held a celebration dinner.At the dinner party, some friends who played in other leagues also called the players of the Turin team to congratulate them.

Among them, Christian from the Roma team even called and said to Yue Yihuang in a rough voice: "Hey, NO.11, don't get carried away with your promotion in the league ranking! This year's Europa League must be between Roma and the capital Spirit fights for first and second!"

It seems that for this group of players who have to fight to the death on the field and have a good scene of two brothers off the field, they are very used to talking to their friends like this, and they are already very able to automatically restore such vicious words to the opponent's original words. Want to express, positive meaning.

So Yue Yihuang replied very bluntly: "Liverpool is a team that has won the Champions League. If you face it, don't lose too badly!"

As soon as such words were uttered, what was obtained was of course the howling of the Roman coyote in exasperation.

So Yue Yihuang hung up the phone without hesitation, and put the phone back into his pocket very calmly.

Although the Turin team finally rushed to the fourth place in the Serie A standings, it was only a small-scale celebration dinner.Because everyone in this team deeply understands that there are still nine rounds before the end of the league, and in these nine rounds, everything can happen.It is likely that teams near the relegation zone will explode with amazing energy, winning consecutively against the best teams in the league in order to avoid relegation.It is also possible that the top three teams in the league standings will be dragged down by the teams behind them.

Faced with this possible impact, they cannot relax for a moment while fighting on two fronts.

In the past, I have always liked to go out to play, and the players who attend some commercial activities from time to time have restrained themselves.In order not to slack off in training, and to be able to maintain sufficient physical strength in the league and Europa League matches, the players try to let themselves have a good rest after daily training, a good rest, and a better rest.

Until the beginning of April, almost all the players in the Torino team began to look up to Derico, a good family man, and Yue Yihuang, who had almost no activities on weekdays and liked to study football at home.

Finally, they waited for Thursday, April 4, the Europa League semi-final

Round one.

It was at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Portuguese super team welcomes the fallen nobles from Turin, Italy at their home court.

"Viewers friends!! Let us have the long-awaited UEFA Europa League semi-final, Sporting Lisbon vs. Torino is about to start!! It can be said that this is the first time that the Jose Alvalade Stadium welcomes This Serie A team belongs to Turin City like Juventus! This is the first time the two teams have met in the Europa League. However, the two teams were in a state of intense gunpowder before the game. It can be said that both The sports newspaper in Lingling and the sports media in Lisbon have launched one after another scolding war. Among them, "Torino Sport" is obviously more reserved, but the sports newspaper of Sporting Lisbon is more straightforward. It first puts and Werder Bremen, who has a good relationship with the Turin team, described it as a little girl who would sit on the crossroads and cry when she lost her dog. Then he compared the Turin team to a clown who kept making farce on the pitch. "

When the commentator introduced the verbal battle between the sports media in the cities where the two teams were located, the camera swept across the starting players of Torino and Sporting Lisbon.And after that, the players from both sides began to shake hands with each other. However, there was no smile or friendliness on the faces of this group of professional players at this moment. Some want to beat the opponent to the point of being unable to get up.

"It is worth noting that among the starting players of the Turin team in this game, there is a player who used to be a player of Benfica in the Portuguese Super League. He is Innedi, who was once known as the Portuguese Eagle. This Paraguayan player When I played for Benfica, I fought against Sporting Lisbon many times. It can be said that the two sides are very familiar with each other, and Benfica can basically be regarded as a Portuguese derby, and when they meet in the domestic league, they often suppress Sporting Lisbon very thoroughly. So, we can already imagine the old and new hatred between the Sporting Lisbon fans who came to watch the game today and the Turin central defender. I believe they will do their best today interfere with Innedi's performance."

On the TV screen of the live broadcast of the game, the lists of the two teams' departure personnel and the formation of troops appeared in sequence.

As the outside world speculated, the Turin team sent the most perfect and complete personnel they could send today, and the formation they used was also their most lethal 4231 formation.And what Sporting Lisbon arranged is still the 352 formation that they have played very proficiently this season.

Today Sporting Lisbon's players are wearing white and green horizontal stripe home jerseys. Many of them seem to have slightly darker skin and are tall and strong. Obviously, the whole team is full of a Portuguese-style aggressive style. .

In contrast, the Turin team, which wears a white shirt with a red ribbon and red sweatpants, gives people a sense of classical elegance. From the perspective of visual effects, the momentum is a bit shorter than Sporting Lisbon.But this team, which came from the Apennine Peninsula to the westernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, was not afraid.

Quite the contrary, they were excited that the long-awaited game had finally arrived.

After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the ball was quickly kicked out with a big kick.Obviously, neither of these two teams likes to kick the ball tactically from the midfield, and then slowly experience the cooperation of the whole team to pour the ball, and slowly advance the offensive to the court.With just one kick, the ball was passed to the other side's half, and the offensive of both sides was displayed in the eyes of the fans in the fastest and most direct way.

Sporting Lisbon said they don't like to fall, so Torino said we also like to be straightforward.

The two teams clash and it doesn't look like the entire field of 22 players is spread out in the strictest formations on the pitch, but if you think you can get something out of those gaps, you're wrong Very wrong.

Sporting Lisbon knows that once the ball is transmitted to the frontcourt by the pair of dual-core midfielders Dericaro and Tiar, the four offensive players will inevitably bombard their positions. Therefore, Sporting Lisbon has strengthened the center Control the ball and steals on the field, strive to control the ball tightly within a safe range, and quickly carry out a powerful attack.

Sporting Lisbon's quick and furious attack put Torino's defense to the test.

However, Sporting Lisbon's 352 formation can be changed to a 532 formation on defense, and Torino's double forwards can also return to defense when needed.Among them, the defensive force on the right side where Parel is the most powerful.However, Kassel is not good at defense, but it does not mean that the assist Wang Yueyihuang of the Torino team is not good at either.

Relying on the mutual support between players and fierce steals, the Torino team resisted this round of fierce attack from Sporting Lisbon, and did not give the opponent a chance to shoot.Nierva took advantage of the moment when Sporting Lisbon's striker passed the ball, smashed the ball and kicked it into the air.

The players on both sides near this area raised their heads, looking at the ball that was kicked violently into the sky, trying to grab the first landing point.In the end, Torino's central defender Innedi and Sporting Lisbon's striker took off at the same time, and two players with a height of nearly 1.9 meters competed for the first landing point of the ball.

In the end, it was Innedi who got the header.Tiar had already started running before Innedi snatched the first point, and started to make up for it. The defensive midfielder's good overall view allowed him to receive the header that Innedi slammed down. So the Turin team quickly turned from defense to offense, the wingers quickly rushed back, and the Turin team's striker quickly moved forward.

Not only that, but the two full-backs also quickly stepped forward and waited for an opportunity to respond.

However, it is not so easy to transport the ball from the midfield to the frontcourt under layers of danger.

Sporting Lisbon's five midfielders will naturally not let Torino pass so easily.

So a round of fierce midfield scrambling began.

The ball was turned several times by people wearing different jerseys within ten seconds.It is often the last player who holds the ball to steal the ball, and when he wants to rush forward with the ball, he is tackled by another opponent player, or rushes straight between the two passing players snatched control of the ball.

Although the steals that can be described as dense make it impossible for the game to start a smooth offensive, it also gives the fans another kind of adrenaline secretion stimulation...
