Georgia is a small country located on the coast of the Black Sea. Although they are members of the European side in various international organizations, in fact, in terms of geographical location, Georgia should actually be on the territory of Asia.

Of course, this situation is relatively common in the Eurasian border area.

Russia and Turkey are the most typical countries.

Most of their territory is on the Asian continent, but it has always been a European country.

In addition to Russia and Turkey, which are more famous, there are also Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus and Israel. These five countries are also in similar situations.

Especially Israel, they are really completely on the Asian continent, and have nothing to do with Europe.

In addition, purely from the convenience of football, Kazakhstan is also an Asian country that has joined UEFA.

In addition, Little Japan has long proposed to leave Asia and enter Europe, but it has not been realized.

On August 11, Georgia local time, the UEFA Super Cup 2019 officially kicked off at the Tbilisi National Stadium in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

The reason why the start time is so late is that Georgia is located at the junction of Europe and Asia, and there is still a significant time difference with Europe. In order to take care of European fans watching the game, the time is deliberately set later.

Before the start of the game, commentators from various countries were also discussing this championship derby that will determine the outcome.

In terms of the team's overall strength and equipment, Liverpool is definitely better than Sevilla.

But from the experience of the Super Cup, Sevilla is the more dominant side.

Sevilla defeated the Champions League champion Schalke 04 in last year's Super Cup. Most of the team members participated in that Super Cup.

As for Liverpool, this is the first time they have come to participate in the European Super Cup after a lapse of ten years. At present, no one in the team, from players to coaches and even owners, has the experience of participating in the Super Cup.

It is also worth mentioning that in the 2005 UEFA Super Cup ten years ago, Liverpool beat the Russian team CSKA Moscow 3-1. That happened to be the last time a Premier League team won the UEFA Super Cup.

Since then, Premier League teams have participated in the UEFA Super Cup three times and all have failed.

In 2008, Manchester United lost to Zenit St. Petersburg in the Russian Super League. In 2008, Chelsea participated in the UEFA Super Cup for two consecutive years, but lost to Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich successively.

I have to say that Liverpool may not be able to compare with Manchester United in terms of the number of games played in the Champions League due to a period of sinking, but when it comes to the honor of the European Championship, they are the stable number one in the Premier League.

Six Champions League titles, three Europa League titles, three UEFA Super Cup titles, all of which are the most among Premier League teams.

In addition, if Liverpool win the UEFA Super Cup again this year, they will catch up with Barcelona and become the team with the second most championships in the UEFA Super Cup with 4 titles.

At the same time, there is another point. Since 2003, there has been a strange law in the UEFA Super Cup. In odd-numbered years, the champion of the UEFA Champions League wins, and in even-numbered years, the champion of the Europa League. Never failed.

So if Liverpool win the title this year, the law will continue.

Since 2003, the odd-numbered years have won the Champions League, and the even-numbered years have won the Europa League. This is indeed an inexplicable metaphysics.

In this European Super Cup, Klopp still arranged a lineup similar to the first round of the Premier League, except that Lovren replaced Gomez in the starting lineup.

As for Seville, they arranged a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Beto;

Defenders: Tremolinas, Kerry Jowiak, Rami, Cork;

Defenders: Banega, Clondry;

Avant-garde: Vitolo, Ivora, Reyes;

Forward: Gameiro.

With the Scottish referee Colum's whistle, the European Championship Derby officially started.

From the beginning of the game, Liverpool showed a strong desire to win.

In the 3rd minute, Mane took the ball in the frontcourt, forcibly accelerated and rushed into the penalty area to complete the push.

Seville's Portuguese goalkeeper Neto didn't seem to have recovered from the opening game, and he didn't make a save at all, watching the ball roll from his feet into the goal.

Goooooal~~~~~~~

Mane, this great guy from Senegal, he scored in the first three minutes.

The purpose of Liverpool buying him is to fill the vacancy left by Sterling, but he has done better than expected, at least his scoring ability is stronger than Sterling.

The England commentator was cheering loudly, and Uncle Zha on the sidelines was even more excited and punched continuously, looking quite excited.

This European Super Cup is also the first time for Uncle Zha. Of course, he also hopes that he can have another championship honor.

Liverpool scored from the start and it looked like everything was going well.

But soon, Sevilla showed their strength, why they are the kings of the Europa League.

Emery yelled a few words on the sidelines, and he didn't know if he had activated the team's offensive code. Then Sevilla scored consecutive goals.

In the 15th minute, Reyes made a free kick in the front court, and Banega scored a direct free kick to equalize the score for Sevilla.

Although Reyes is no longer the boy who played football on a motorcycle, he still has some strength, at least he played very well in a team of Sevilla's level.

There is also the Argentine Banega. In the Copa America final a month ago, this guy kicked a poor penalty and was saved by Bravo, which directly caused Argentina to lose the Copa America final.

But now, he has become brave, kicking free kicks is more accurate than penalty kicks.

Sevilla equalized the score, and Liverpool was not too nervous. After all, they are superior in strength and have a psychological advantage.

But in the next 28 minutes, Vitolo made a pass from the side. Reyes moved away from Klein and stepped forward to shoot, and once again put the ball into the Liverpool goal.

Now Liverpool was a little anxious, and easily got a fantastic start, but then they were reversed by their opponents with two goals in a row.

Klopp on the sidelines was so angry that he kept yelling excitedly, asking his players to stabilize.

Currently only one goal behind, Liverpool still have opportunities, and there is still plenty of game time, but first of all, there is no rush, and no more goals.

As the captain of the field, Li Chenglong began to shout out to the whole team, asking everyone to act according to the coach's wishes.

Under such circumstances, the Liverpool team is more or less stable.

But Sevilla's morale was high, and they launched continuous attacks, and they scored again at the end of the first half.

In the 44th minute, French full-back Tremolinas sent a cross from the wing. Vitolo was pulled by Lovren when he headed the ball from the center. The Spaniard lay down on the ground, and the Scottish referee immediately whistled. A penalty is awarded and Lovren is shown a yellow card.

Mr. Referee, that's not a foul, it's just a normal defensive physical confrontation!!

Li Chenglong immediately stepped forward to explain, but it didn't work.

Li Chenglong played in the Scottish Super League at the beginning. The Scottish referee Colum also played several of his games. Everyone knows each other, so the other party should explain it seriously.

Your man reached out, this is not allowed by the rules, this is an action to prevent the opponent from attacking the goal in the penalty area.

In short, this penalty is definitely taken by Liverpool.

Sevilla's French striker Gameiro came out to take the penalty. Although Mignolet bet on the right direction, he still failed to save the penalty.

In this way, Sevilla scored another goal and led Liverpool 3:1 in the first half.
