Chapter 140: Quarterfinals

The news that surprised Cai Jian the most recently was undoubtedly Li Tie.

Some time ago he was mentioned in the first team, certainly not the head coach and assistant coach.

He successfully entered the coaching staff and served as a coach.

It was a very good experience for him and very good for his future.

Unknowingly, the Europa League quarter-finals came, and Sevilla played against Zenit St. Petersburg at home.

"Hello, audience friends! Welcome to today's live broadcast. Today I bring you the first round of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. Sevilla vs. Zenit St. Petersburg at home. I am today's commentator Shao Shengyi .” Shao Shengyi said at the beginning.

"People may think that the Russian Super League team is not strong, but that's not the case."

"Zenit St. Petersburg was originally playing in the Champions League this season, and there are two teams from the top five leagues in the group stage."

"They are Monaco and Leverkusen, and there is also a Portuguese super team Benfica."

"This group is very strong, although Zenit St. Petersburg failed to qualify."

"But the performance was very good, and it double-killed Benfica."

"It's a pity to finish third in the group and then play in the Europa League."

"In the round of 16 of the Europa League, Zenit St. Petersburg eliminated the strong Serie A team Torino."

"It can be seen that Zenit St. Petersburg is definitely not weak, and Sevilla must not relax its vigilance."

"Let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides. First of all, Zenit St. Petersburg, the official 3-5-2 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Lodikin;

Defenders: 6 Lombards, 24 Garay, 13 Luis Neto;

Midfielders: 33 Rodic, 17 Shatov, 21 Javi Garcia, 28 Witsel, 2 Anyukov;

Forwards: 23 Longdong, 5 Ryazansev. "

"Then Sevilla, the official 4-2-3-1 formation:

Goalkeeper: 29 Sergio Rico;

Defenders: 2 Tremulinas, 15 Kolozesac, 21 Pareja, 5 Figueras;

Midfielder: 20 Vitolo, 12 Ivora, 19 Banega, 4 Kerry Jowiak, 10 Lu Yunlong;

Forwards: 7 Gameiro. "

Cai Jian saw the tactical formation of Zenit St. Petersburg, which surprised Cai Jian.

You must know that Sevilla is a strong team, and it is also Sevilla's home court.

Zenit St. Petersburg was so courageous, so he looked at the head coach.

Cai Jiancai understood the reason after seeing who the head coach was.

The head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg turned out to be the second generation of madmen-Boas, and Shanghai SIPG fans will definitely be familiar with this name.

In Cai Jian's previous life, Boas coached Shanghai SIPG.

Among them, Cai Jian was most impressed because he insulted the referee.

Even being suspended for 8 games, such things are still rare in the Chinese Super League.

Besides Boas, Cai Jian also saw several familiar names.

The first is Long Dong, who is clearly a striker but has to wear the No. 23 jersey.

He will join the Dalian native in the future and become another great foreign player after Carrasco.

Later, he terminated the contract with the Dalian native, and then returned to the Russian Super League.

But during his stay in Dalian, he was still very conscientious, and Dalian fans also sent blessings one after another.

The other guy was not so good. This player is the Belgian midfielder Witsel.

In Cai Jian's previous life, he joined Tianjin Quanjian at a sky-high price.

At that time, Tianjin Quanjian was indeed strong, in addition to Witsel and Pato.

But Witsel suddenly left the team to join Dortmund. You must know that the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League were not far away.

His sudden departure from the team did not give Tianjin Quanjian time to sign up.

This made Tianjin Quanjian fans very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

It's completely Tianjin Quanjian's amateur, and the contract problem is too big.

A player of this level has only set a termination fee of 20 million euros.

You must know that the transfer fee is also 20 million euros. Cai Jian never thought about what Tianjin Quanjian thought at that time.

Originally, Witsel intended to sign a new contract with Tianjin Quanjian, but the Belgian team won the third place in the World Cup in Russia.

Among them, Witsel performed amazingly, so he changed his mind.

Transferred to Dortmund, although Huaxia fans don't like him very much.

But I have to admit that he did play well in Dortmund.

Before I knew it, the game started, although the fans were the same as before.

But obviously the expression is different, if Zenit St. Petersburg is eliminated.

Then Sevilla will advance to the semi-finals, and they think they have great hopes of advancing.

After all, the opponent is the Russian Super League team, which makes them very happy.

At the beginning of the game, Sevilla did have the advantage, but the Russians did defend well.

Sevilla didn't have many chances, the best chance was a direct hit from a set kick.

It is worth mentioning that this set kick was taken by Lu Yunlong.

In fact, Lu Yunlong's ability to set the ball was not strong before, but with the use of several player cards, Lu Yunlong's ability to set the ball has improved a lot.

In addition, Lu Yunlong has also trained his ability to set the ball, and the head coach Emery has already begun to give him opportunities to set the ball.

But this time Lu Yunlong did not make a good penalty, although the free throw position is good.

But he exerted too much force and hit an anti-aircraft gun.

Although the defense is very good, the offense of Zenit St. Petersburg is mediocre.

Basically, it is a long pass and a straight hang, and the effect is very poor.

The first half was unknowingly over half, but neither side had any good chances.

The situation was also relatively boring, but Cai Jian had an ominous premonition.

The time came to the 26th minute, and the football passed to Lu Yunlong on the right side outside the penalty area.

Lu Yunlong passed the ball directly after stopping the ball. In the last game against Villarreal, Lu Yunlong's cross worked very well.

But Zenit St. Petersburg's defense was very stable, and the football was pushed out steadily.

The football headed towards midfielder Javi Garcia, who took the ball and pushed it forward.

He looked forward for a while, and then made a long pass with his big feet.

Because he noticed Long Dong in the frontcourt, Long Dong chased the football with all his strength.

The central defender Pareja ran side by side with him, hoping to catch the ball.

In fact, Long Dong is not a speed forward, but he is still faster than Pareja.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Sergio Rico was very stable. Before Rondon was about to catch up with the football, he stepped forward and kicked the football out.

Ivora received the football, but soon there were players defending it.

I saw him change direction with the ball and successfully got rid of the opponent's defense.

Then Ivora passed forward and went to midfielder Krijowiak.

In fact, Krijowiak should have received the ball, but he chose to wait for the ball on the spot.

Shatov came in from behind and successfully intercepted the ball.

He made a long pass to Ryazansev on the left side of the penalty area, and Ryazansev rushed into the penalty area after receiving the pass.

Kolozesak quickly defended and came over, but Ryazansev hit the goal directly.

Although goalkeeper Sergio Rico pounced on the football, the kick was too strong.

He actually let go, and Ryazansev hurried up, and then hit the goal again with his left foot.

The football flew straight into the goal and there was nothing goalkeeper Sergio Rico could do.

Zenit St. Petersburg leads Sevilla 1-0 away!
