No matter how good Mourinho is in the final, there is no way to beat Sevilla here

The Seville Cup is certainly more than metaphysics.

To win more in the Europa League, you first have to play more. It is neither strong enough to qualify regularly from the Champions League group, nor weak enough that the squad cannot afford to play the double line. And in the five major leagues can be stable to achieve "more than the top is more than the bottom", and will not be too broad to look at the Europa League because of the ancestors, it seems that there may really be only Sevi.

Therefore, they looked at the three top teams of the Western Super League that could not be shaken in front of them, looked at the "European Trophy" not far away, and resolutely decided to launch a dislocation competition. This year marks their seventh final in the competition, having won all six of their previous six titles, and this time the king of the Europa League has met the king of the final: Jose Mourinho.

One thing to say, I think Mourinho is not only good at finals, but also at all kinds of individual games with clear goals. He can always mobilize the team's tactical execution at such times, and then tear the rhythm to destroy the opponent's tactical arrangement, as is the case in the second leg of the previous semi-final Roma against Bayer Leverkusen.

That game was divided into two phases.

The first stage is 0-2 minutes. The specific content is that Pellegrini goes up and takes a kick, wins when he enters the game, and returns to defend if he doesn't score.

The second stage is 2 minutes - the game is played. There are no shots, but the three central defenders are stuck in the ribs at the back and do not give any chance to penetrate, while ensuring that someone must be there at the top of the arc. Speaking of which, the pharmaceutical company has as many as 23 shots, but in fact, they are basically long-range shots and there are people in front of them.

The result is really 0-0, how do you say that? Where Mourinho doesn't want to win, he never loses.

Of course, Roma certainly won't play that way in the final. On the one hand, after all, a single game is divided into victories and losses, on the other hand, it is clear that all kinds of news say that Dybala has not been injured for many of the most likely to play, and he directly stood in the starting lineup at the beginning of the game.

And his comeback is too important for Roma.

Theoretically, he played 3421, and when it worked, Pellegrini often returned to the back position, giving all the possession of the conversion and counter-attack to Dybala. Compared with the previous counterattack routine, which can basically be summarized as "Bellotti back + Abraham rush", Dybala, who has been fully free, has brought several times the changes.

He can cut inside with the ball himself, shoot or oblique to teammates on the weak side. You can also play a small pass and run to carve out a small but deadly space in a small area. This was the first scoring opportunity of the game, with Celik and Dybala playing together on the right flank and crossing the middle, but the following Spinazzola rubbed too well.

As for Sevilla, this season's Simeben played lonely, but Mendiliba quickly branded the team as "impactful" after taking over.

But by the final, Sevi chose to be stable at least in the first half. When the individual ability of the central defender is weak, Fernando often retreats to form a three-centre-back to receive the ball, and Rakitic will also keep a position not far in front of him, clean the ball and push forward. But this change, changed the magical effect of promoting the short and avoiding the long.

As a La Liga team, Sevi's passing and receiving skills are definitely fine, but the problem is that he is usually good at hitting the number of conversions back and forth, rather than controlling the rhythm to grasp the quality of conversions. When they tried to play like Barca, it became Atletico's slump.

Throughout the first half, Sevilla's attack can be basically summed up in two types.

The first type: a slow advance to the front, Roma have two layers of defense lined up, and can only pin all their hopes on Keylor Navas's diagonal cross.

Keylor Navas blew up six times at 45 degrees in the first half alone, a figure double the number of crosses from Roma's entire team. As for after the blow-up ... Do you look at the average altitude of the Roma midfield, with or without fear?

The second type: I want to make a quick direct long pass, but no matter how I pass it, it will pass through Nemanja Matic. A veteran who has height and experience, and has all the fuel stored for the final.

Attacking and defending, he intercepted up and down, left and right. Defensively switching to attack, he can also throw long passes by protecting the ball. I even think he also secretly ordered the halo skill, which was originally just a mediocre conversion after a dead ball, and Mancini Jr. suddenly stuffed an assist for Dybala.

Sevilla, who were trailing by the score, stepped up their attacking pitch but were not in too much of a hurry until half-time, at least. Most of the attack still comes from crosses from the wings that both sides have already established, with the only threat being that Rakitic finally took advantage of Christante's late return to the top of the arc and fired a high-quality long-range shot into the post.

Although the goal was not scored, it also gave Mendiliba the best reminder: there is no future in smashing hard, and only by pulling the defense can you avoid becoming the next Bayer Leverkusen. In terms of tactics, it is still necessary to find its own impact; In terms of personnel, there is a need for attackers who can hold the ball on the wing of the front.

After resting, the whistle reopened, and sure enough, I saw Lamela and Suso. It even took me a few minutes to react that it was Hill and Torres who were replaced because it always felt like I hadn't seen them in the first half.

As for Lamela and Suso ... Others dare not guarantee, anyway, the sense of existence must be full.

Su Suo theoretically plays the front waist, but everyone knows that deep down he always feels that he is Robben. Lamela on the left is like a scare, dribbling like a scare, can suck hatred to let Telles set a cross, but also let Ocampos, who is completely on the weak side, run COS's beloved centre-forward.

Isn't this much better than Navas' infinite 45-degree cross?!

After an all-round bombardment of land, sea and air, the equalizing goal came. Keylor Navas was finally given a cross closer to the line and more space, Ennesri and Ocampos slammed the ball into his own goal, and Mancini, who was almost lost in his way back and forth.

After 1-1, it was quite a dangerous time for Roma. Morale is losing and the defensive line is pulled so repeatedly that sooner or later it will lose the ball. It is necessary to attack to relieve the defensive pressure, but Dybala has no physical strength and shows some signs of injury. What to do?

Mourinho's answer is: 352 Pellegrini on the striker, while changing to Nemanja Matic alone dragged back, and the two central midfielders who were uneasy and replaced by Du Mu pressed forward. This increases the number of front-court presses and counter-attacks, so that Sevis Huan's wing has to think more about returning to defense, and to really score a goal is a kill.

The basic effect was indeed achieved, and the last half hour of regular time became a mutual poke. Ibáñez first showed the level of shooting at the community level in the melee of the opposite penalty area, and then showed a world-class steal in his own box with the help of VAR. Looking back, Nemanja Matic's pass hit the opponent's hand without blowing, and Bellotti's grab made people feel that the 181 center still had too short legs.

It's a pity that the advanced effect has not been achieved. With the failure to score on the above few chances, Nemanja Matic is visibly tired and the substitute Wijnaldum looks more tired than he is. In extra time, Roma simply chose to fully retreat again, and both sides ran out of bullets from various injuries and foul breaks.

I would venture to guess that Jose Mourinho and Roma really don't want to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out. Because, the opposite BUFF is almost stacked into a pangolin.

- The goalkeeper is Bunu from Morocco, and every Spanish player who has participated in the World Cup in Qatar probably has his pure smiling face in his dreams.

——Three of the first four penalty shooters are Argentine players, although Lamela and Ocampos did not play the World Cup, but Montell has the dual passivity of penalty point + transformation into the protagonist.

- The remaining one is Rakitic. Last year's World Cup was also not played, but how Croatia reached the final in the previous edition, fans who have seen it understand.

And what did Rome have? An unlucky own goal centre-back, and his bad luck in losing both coin tosses.

In the end, Mancini Jr. and Ibáñez lost consecutive penalties, and Montiel's strong luck was launched again. Sevilla FC won their seventh Europa League final in their history, winning their seventh trophy. Mourinho, who lost his first European final outside the Super Cup, threw his medal directly into the stands after the game, and said at the press conference: "I want to stay, but I and my players deserve more." ”

The future of Jose Mourinho and Roma still looks uncertain, but Sevilla are already largely certain. With this trophy, they will play in the Champions League as the fifth team in La Liga next season. I have another bold hunch that it will still be the third in the precise group...

No way, who is called in the land of the Europa League, Sevilla FC is really the only king.
