Du Jie kicked the ball to Farina, who took the ball and immediately passed it to the defensive midfielder Otki.
Otki controlled the ball, slowly controlled the football, and loudly reminded his teammates around him: “Take your time, don’t rush.”
Otki wanted to slow down the pace, which was also the instruction of head coach Jimenez.
If they didn’t lose the ball too early, maintained a draw in the first half, and stole one from Sevilla in the second half, maybe they could really win this game.
This was Jimenez’s idea, but the Sevilla people didn’t give Laco a chance.
Seeing Laco passing the ball in the backcourt, their frontcourt players Bacca, Vitolo and Denis Suarez all went out together to press high.
The atmosphere on the field instantly became tense. The Spanish commentator on the scene said in a long tone: “Oh! Sevilla played very actively at the beginning. They also carried out high-pressure pressing. Let’s see how Laco responds.”
Another commentator immediately said: “Yes, their head coach Emery said at the pre-match press conference that they must win three points!”
“Haha, this will make the game more interesting.”
…
Sevilla’s high-pressure pressing was obviously practiced. Several people have clear division of labor and strong personal abilities.
Laco’s backcourt pass could not be maintained immediately.
Soon, the ball was forced to the feet of goalkeeper Roux.
As soon as Roux touched the ball, Sevilla’s striker Bacca rushed over.
Seeing this, Roux did not dare to choose to pass the ground ball, so he had to kick the ball to the front court with a big foot.
The ball flew near the center line, and Farina and Sevilla’s midfielder Iborra competed for the header at the same time.
Unfortunately, Farina is only 1.77 meters tall, while Iborra is 1.95 meters tall.
The two of them are not at the same level when competing for the header.
Iborra firmly pressed Farina’s head and pushed forward.
Instantly, the header was passed to Denis Suarez in front.
Otki immediately went over to defend, trying to entangle Denis Suarez.
Little did he know that this guy was like a loach, turning around and passing by Otki.
After successfully getting rid of the defense, Denis Suarez immediately moved forward from the middle.
At the same time.
Bergantinhos, another defensive midfielder of Laco, quickly approached Denis Suarez from one side, ready to block his advance.
However, although Denis Suarez is only in his early twenties, he has a high football IQ.
As soon as Bergantinhos approached, before he had time to stretch his feet, he had already seized the opportunity and sent a straight pass into the penalty area.
The ball was accurately sent to Bacca’s feet. In the penalty area, he used his strong body to lean on Huinsua and forced a low shot!
The football immediately stuck to the ground and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Lux fell to the ground to save the ball at the first time, but the angle of the ball was too tricky and the speed was too fast, and he still couldn’t stop the goal.
1:0, just over two minutes after the start, Sevilla took the lead.
“This goal was lost too quickly, wasn’t it?”
The Laco players were struck by lightning, and none of them dared to believe what was happening in front of them.
The Laco fans in the audience were also silent.
Only a small number of away fans were cheering happily.
Emery, the head coach of Sevilla, smiled instantly on the sidelines.
He was already full of confidence in this game, and now he is even more convinced that his team will reach the top three in the league after this round, and may even win the top spot in La Liga!
Jimenez shook his head. He knew that the opponent was strong, but he was still surprised to lose the ball so early.
Now Jimenez just hopes that the players can keep their mentality and not lose the second goal.
Otherwise, this game will become a one-sided massacre!
Jimenez is not the only one who has such concerns.
In Longguo, thousands of miles away, there are still hundreds of thousands of fans watching the game through various channels in front of the TV screen.
“Damn it! How did Laco lose the ball so quickly?”
“Sevilla is a bit strong, Laco can’t stop it.”
“Nonsense, they are the Europa League champions, of course they have something!”
“This is my first time watching Laco play, they won’t lose, right?”
“Losing is normal, as long as it’s not a crushing defeat, I can accept it, after all, the opponent is much stronger than Laco.”
“Go Laco! Go Su Wei!”
…
To be honest, most fans don’t have high expectations for this game.
A draw is considered a blessing, as long as it’s not a 3:0 or 4:0 defeat, they can accept it.
But Su Wei can’t do that. Looking at Babi, Denis Suarez and others celebrating unscrupulously on the field, he frowned slightly.”Damn it, we’re behind so quickly. No, we have to play hard in this game, otherwise the victory in the last game will be in vain!”
Su Wei’s blood was boiling when he thought of the main task of winning consecutive games, without any motivation.
But he did not rush forward blindly, because he knew that against a team like Sevilla, good defense was the top priority.
Now he had to protect the back line and must not lose the second goal.
The center circle kicked off again. Having just lost the ball, and at home, the Laco players certainly could not think of slowing down the pace.
As the referee whistled, after this kick-off, Du Jie and Farina both rushed forward, and the midfield and backcourt also collectively pressed forward a little.
Seeing this, the Sevilla players deliberately retreated.
For a while, Laco seemed to have the advantage on the field, and the ball began to appear frequently in Sevilla’s half.
Witnessing this strange phenomenon, the Laco fans in the audience seemed to see hope and began to cheer for their own players frequently.
“Go, press forward, score a goal!”
The shouts of tens of thousands of people were so powerful that anyone who heard them would feel their blood boiling.
Su Wei was very calm at this time. His teammates all rushed forward, but he did not go up. He even leaned to the middle, always keeping an eye on the positions of Bacca and others.
Besides, the Laco players all rushed forward, but the offensive effect was average.
Du Jie, who looked very useful in the first three games, was almost useless in the Sevilla penalty area.
Farina was also trapped in the opponent’s double waist trap in the middle, with almost no shots, and his forward passes were frequently intercepted.
On the two wingers, Luisinho was very diligent in running up and down, but his talent was limited to running ability.
Cavaleiro had two or three breakthroughs on the right, but the quality of his cross was very average.
The ball came into the Sevilla penalty area without any splashes.
The longer Laco failed to score, the more its formation pressed forward.
Both defensive midfielders Otki and Bergantinhos passed the half court.
The space in the backcourt was also getting bigger and bigger.
While Laco was still eager to attack, danger had already quietly arrived!
