When fifteen students from Cambridge University set off from the Glory Stadium in high spirits, Yang Huan was sitting in the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
The Europa League finals are going on here, and they are facing Inter Milan from Serie A and Sevilla from La Liga.
Among them, Sevilla is the defending champion of the Europa League.
Speaking of the Europa League, in recent years, its influence is not as good as it used to be.
A very important reason for this is that the participating teams are too weak.
Just like the Premier League teams, basically they are not interested in the Europa League, because the money they earn by playing the Europa League is less than climbing one more place in the Premier League standings.
Tell me, how do Premier League teams have the motivation to play in the Europa League?
But this directly caused the Premier League team to be at a disadvantage in terms of European points.
Reforming the Europa League has become an important topic for UEFA.
No, the winner of this season's Europa League will automatically enter the group stage of the next season's UEFA Champions League.
Perhaps because of this, the appeal of this season's Europa League has slightly increased.
Among the four teams that reached the semi-finals, Serie A occupied three seats, and La Liga's Sevilla also got one seat.
As a result, Inter Milan eliminated Naples, and Sevilla defeated Fiorentina 5-0, both meeting in the finals.
What's funny is that when Sevilla's name appeared again in the Europa League final, many fans in Europe generally reacted very interestingly.
They would be surprised and said, "Nime, why is it Sevilla again?"
"Oh my God, Sevilla is in the final again" "I'm dizzy, they are simply the kings of the Europa League" “From now on, UEFA might as well rename the Europa League to the Sevilla Cup.”
It’s no wonder that in the past ten years, Sevilla has reached the Europa League final for the fourth time.
More importantly, they have won the championship in all the previous three times.
With such a brilliant record, how can people not be disappointed?
surprise However, the opponent in this final, Inter Milan, is not a fuel-saving lamp.
After the coaching change this season, Klopp took over the team.
Inter Milan's performance was outstanding, showing strong competitiveness in Serie A, firmly occupying the leader's position, and finally won the Serie A championship.
On the other hand, Sevilla only finished fifth in La Liga.
However, some media believe that Sevilla, the fifth-ranked player in La Liga, was able to slaughter Fiorentina, which ranked fourth in Serie A, 5-0, which shows that the overall strength of La Liga is stronger than Serie A.
If it were a single game, it could be said to be luck, but the semifinals were a two-round elimination system, and Florence suffered a terrible defeat.
It is precisely because Sevilla reached the final with the spirit of defeating Fiorentina that this game attracted great attention from Serie A fans before the game.
This season, the performance of Serie A teams in the European competition is quite sluggish.
Needless to say, in the Champions League, Juventus stopped in the group stage.
In the Europa League, three Serie A teams entered the semi-finals, but Fiorentina was blocked.
Verya was so humiliated.
If Inter Milan can no longer stand firm and raise the banner of Serie A football, then Italian football will be really embarrassed.
Therefore, in the National Stadium in Warsaw, many Italian fans who came from afar raised flags and called on Inter Milan to defeat Sevilla, win a Europa League championship, and strive for Italian football.
"Emery is indeed a very good manager."
Yang Huan was sitting in the chairman's stand, looking at the analysis of Sevilla in the Saints scouting system on his mobile phone.
In the European Super Cup before this season, Southampton played against Sevilla, but the La Liga team failed to pose much threat to the Saints, but this does not mean that Sevilla is bad.
Throughout this season, although Sevilla has also suffered heavy defeats against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, they can also perform well against other teams.
"Emery is a very pragmatic head coach."
Blanca, sitting next to Yang Huan, nodded.
"What kind of opponents we encounter and what tactics we use.
In the two rounds of the match against Florence, they had a very good ball possession rate and showed their advantage in ball control.
Facing some players with strong ball control ability, They went on the defensive."
Being able to defend when retreating, being able to press forward offensively, and being able to play with the ball, Emery's team is indeed very comprehensive.
As for losing miserably to a wealthy team, it's because their skills are inferior to others, and there's nothing to say about it.
Yang Huan shook his head, "Fiorentina is a team with excellent ball control ability in Serie A, but facing Sevilla, the fifth team in La Liga, they were defeated by someone who controlled the ball.
You Say this" Blanca also laughed a little awkwardly.

In the final analysis, her skills were inferior to others.
When it comes to this ball-possession tactical play, La Liga teams are indeed great, and they have talents in this area.
On the other hand, the Italian team plays with the ball, which is more or less the same.
Yang Huan quickly got the starting list and lineup of both sides.
What's interesting is that both sides used a four-two-three-one tactics.
"The tip of a needle is like a needle."
Sevilla's goalkeeper is Rico, and the defense is Tremulinas, Croziersack, Carriso and Vidal.
Among them, left back Tresalinas is the core of Sevilla's offense.
The full-back serves as the core of the offense, which seems to be a consistent feature of Sevilla.
For example, Alves, who currently plays for Barcelona, previously played the role of the right-back as the core of the offense in Sevilla.
Double midfielder in the midfield, Mbia and Banega.
Further forward, Vitolo, Iborra and Reyes, and the lone forward is Bacca.
Bacca is also a famous scorer in La Liga this season.
He is extremely efficient and has attracted the attention of many strong European teams.
There is even news that Chelsea and AC Milan are interested in introducing Bacca.
For Inter Milan, goalkeeper Handanovic.
The defense from left to right is Alex Sandro, Blind, De Vrij and Darmian.
The double defensive midfielders are Khedira and Alan, the frontcourt is Felipe Anderson, De Bruyne and Aubameyang, and the lone forward is Morata.
But although they are all four, two, three and one, their playing styles are quite different.
From the beginning of the game, Inter Milan looked more like they were playing a two-forward tactic.
It's hard to tell between Aubameyang and Morata who is the forward and who is on the wing.
They are more like two forwards, at the front.
Sevilla pressed forward proactively, hoping to use tactics similar to those used against Fiorentina to kill Inter Milan.
La Liga teams lack players with outstanding personal abilities in the frontcourt, so the midfielders and frontcourts actively press forward to create a numerical advantage in the frontcourt and win possession of the ball.
This is also an important offensive method for Sevilla.
Once they win possession of the ball, the two full-backs actively move forward, widening the width of the attack.
At the same time, it is easy to form a small-scale pass between two or three players in the frontcourt.
Bacca in the middle frequently retreated and advanced, constantly pulling on Inter Milan's defense, patiently waiting for opportunities.
On the other hand, Klopp was a little too stable at the beginning, started on the defensive, and the scene was relatively passive.
However, Inter Milan's defense was well organized.
The double midfielder composed of Khedira and Alan completed the task of protecting the defense line and ribs very well, and resolved Sevilla's offense outside the dangerous area.
"The team's defense has improved a lot and its overall integrity is much stronger."
Yang Huan can see that after a season of training from Klopp, Inter Milan's overall progress is quite obvious.
If the players are strong enough and their integrity is good, their competitiveness will naturally not be weak.
Being able to win the Serie A championship this season is not worth making a fuss about.
After stabilizing Sevilla's attack after the opening, Inter Milan quickly adjusted.
Attacking is very exciting, but behind the excitement, there are risks.
Sevilla's two full-backs actively participated in the attack, and problems were exposed behind them.
Therefore, in the fifteenth minute of the game, Blind passed to DeVry, who then passed to Damian on the right.
After Damian got the ball on the right, he glanced ahead and passed the ball forward with a big kick.
In the frontcourt, Inter Milan's center Morata is 1.90 meters tall, which is nearly ten centimeters taller than Sevilla's two central defenders.
Moreover, Morata was born in La Liga and knows how to deal with La Liga. center back.
You can see that as soon as Damian's pass arrived, Morata had already moved to the right, suppressed the opponent's central defender with his body, seized the most advantageous position, faced the ball, and shook his head like a lion.
The ball rubbed Morata's head and turned in one direction.
I don’t know when he switched to the center, but Aubameyang, who had been ambushing behind him, suddenly started.

Like a black lightning, he quickly passed through Sevilla’s defense and stopped the ball before everyone else. , facing the attacking goalkeeper, an easy low shot penetrated Sevilla's goal, one to zero.
"Wow" In the stands, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing after seeing Aubameyang score.
“Great job” Anyone can see that this offensive routine of Inter Milan must have been used before.
Yang Huan even guessed that Klopp took the initiative to show weakness and retreat after the start, probably because he wanted Sevilla to attack, thereby exposing the defensive weaknesses of Sevilla's two wings.
The attack just now seemed simple, but it was extremely accurate and deadly.
"Haha, Master Huan, look, Emery is probably scared."
Following Blanca's gesture, Emery in front of the coaching bench was constantly signaling the team to retreat.
His panicked look was a bit like those little Japs who were ambushed in the anti-Japanese drama.
But who is Klopp?
I finally managed to get you to press it out, but I can still get you to go back.
I saw the German wave his hand, and Inter Milan pressed forward across the board, obviously trying to take over the game.
"Ho ho ho, Emery is probably going to cry," Yang Huan said with a gloating smile.
Nimei, I let you score a sneak attack, and you still want to pursue the victory?
It's too much But who is Klopp?
Boxer It is his true nature to be unreasonable and unforgiving.
He took the advantage and did not take the opportunity to expand the score.
Therefore, after Inter Milan pressed hard, they started a fierce battle with the La Liga team in Sevilla's half.
This makes Sevilla nervous.
Everyone in Europe knows how strong the individual abilities of Inter Milan's players are.
De Bruyne and Felipe Anderson both have extremely strong personal abilities and can explode one-on-one, so there is no problem at all.
Even Morata and Aubameyang are equally capable in one-on-one situations, especially Aubameyang, whose sudden speed is really hard to guard against.
In fact, it was precisely at the feet of Felipe Anderson that a forced personal breakthrough from the left attracted the attention of three defensive players and then passed to the center.
Although Sevilla's central defender grabbed the first point, due to the interference of Morata and Aubameyang, he made a mistake in the clearance and landed at the edge of the penalty area.
Immediately afterwards, De Bruyne stepped in, stopped the ball, pulled to the right, followed quickly with his right foot, and fired a powerful volley.
The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the upper right corner of the goal.
This is an absolute blind spot Two to zero:
