Chapter 297 Europa League Final

"Hello, audience friends! Welcome to today's game. Today I bring you the Europa League final. The two sides are Manchester United and Ajax." Liu Jiayuan said in the opening commentary.

"It is worth mentioning that Tao Jia, who played for Manchester United, is a Chinese player who has advanced to the Europa League final after Lu Yunlong." Xu Yang continued to explain.

"I don't know if Tao Jia can win the UEFA Europa League like Lu Yunlong."

"Let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides. First of all, Ajax has officially given a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 24 Onana;

Defenders: 4 Riedwald, 5 Sanchez, 36 Dericht, 3 Feltman;

Midfielder: 10 Klaassen, 20 Skohn, 22 Ziyech;

Forwards: 11 Younis, 25 Dolber, 9 Traore. "

"Then Manchester United, the official 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 20 Romero;

Defenders: 36 Damian, 17 Blind, 12 Smalling, 25 Valencia;

Midfielder: 21 Herrera, 13 Tao Jia, 6 Pogba;

Forwards: 22 Mkhitaryan, 19 Rashford, 8 Mata. "

Cai Jian looked at the lineups of both sides, although Manchester United is more famous.

It is also considered by the outside world to be the favorite to win the championship, and in Cai Jian's memory, Manchester United seems to have indeed won the championship.

But looking at Ajax's lineup, he turned out to be a little vain.

Because Ajax's lineup is really strong, Norwegian striker Dolber is also a well-known talented player.

It's just that he didn't meet everyone's expectations later, and he later joined Nice in Ligue 1.

Then there are two central defenders. This Sanchez is the future Colombian central defender of Tottenham.

Needless to say, Dericht will transfer to Juventus in the future.

Then there is midfielder Ziyech, who will move to Chelsea in the future.

In addition to the starting list, there are two fierce players on the bench.

The two of them are Van der Beek and De Jong. One of them will go to Manchester United and the other to Barcelona in the future.

I have to say that Ajax does have talents. If the young players in their lineup grow up, Manchester United is definitely not an opponent.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Manchester United won the right to kick-off, and after the football was opened, the two-footed pass came to Smalling's feet.

After Smalling received the ball, he kicked his feet directly, and the football flew to the right side of the opponent's half.

Tao Jia stuck the opponent's captain, Klaassen, behind him, and then jumped up to point towards the falling football.

The football flew forward and although Mata did receive the pass, it was quickly intercepted by the opponent.

Ajax tried to follow suit with a counterattack, but after two passes the ball returned to United's feet.

Once again the football came to Mata's feet, and Mata took the ball at 45 degrees to the right outside the penalty area.

He stepped on the football first, and then made a decisive cross.

The football flew into the penalty area, and Mkhitaryan ran to the landing point with all his strength.

But Ajax's left-winger Younis has been in physical confrontation with Mkhitaryan, and Mkhitaryan has difficulty chasing the football.

The goalkeeper Onana was also very decisive, he directly chose to attack.

At this time the football fell, and the three players were very close to the landing point.

But Onana can use his hands, and he double punches towards the falling football.

Mkhitaryan was very sorry to see this. If it weren't for Younis, he would definitely be the first to touch football.

"The game has just started, and Manchester United launched a threatening attack!" Liu Jiayuan explained.

"If it wasn't for Youniska's position, Ajax might have conceded the goal at the beginning of the game!"

"Hey~! Wait a minute! What happened on the field?" Xu Yang felt strange.

At this moment, Younis fell to the ground, rolling back and forth in great pain.

It turned out that Younis had been focusing on Mkhitaryan before, and he tried his best to hold Mkhitaryan's position.

So I didn't pay attention to Onana's position, when Onana jumped up and hit the ball.

Onana's knee hit Younis, but fortunately it was only a minor injury.

"It's okay, okay! It should be fine." Xu Yang explained.

"It's not even a minute since the start of the game, so it would be too bad luck if he got injured." Liu Jiayuan continued to explain.

The Manchester United fans at the scene exclaimed, they thought they were about to score a goal just before the game started.

Cai Jian on the sidelines focused on Tao Jia, but because of his playing style.

It's hard to be the focus on the court, because he is more of a defensive responsibilities.

Both sides defended very well today, and neither side had a chance to hit the goal until 15 minutes.

In the 15th minute, Ajax finally broke the deadlock with a reluctant kick.

Among them, Tao Jia performed very well, and he has become a trusted defensive player for Manchester United.

In the 19th minute, Ajax's Ziyech suddenly sent a pass forward.

His pass was very imaginative and caught Manchester United by surprise.

In addition, Traore's running position is also very good, which actually allowed Traore to run out of the opportunity.

Traore stopped the ball and rushed into the penalty area. At this time, Tao Jia was the only defensive player near him.

Tao Jia's position is closer to the penalty area, and he is facing Traore at this time.

His feet are tandem and his body is turned sideways, facing the touchline on his side.

This can also be regarded as the basic skill of a defensive player. The advantage of this is that when the opponent breaks through the bottom, he can quickly keep up with the defense.

Traore dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Tao Jia then withdrew.

Because the position stands well, so he can keep up very well.

Traore had no choice at this time. First of all, he had no teammates to keep up, so he couldn't pass the ball at all.

Secondly, the defensive players behind him also followed. If he didn't hit the goal again, he would be flanked.

So he has only one choice now, which is to forcefully kick.

However, Tao Jia was still steady, he shoveled directly towards the football.

Successfully shoveled the football out of the bottom line and resolved Ajax's attack this time.

Teammate Blind stepped forward and quickly pulled Tao Jia up. Fortunately, Tao Jia had the ball.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say, Tao Jia stood up calmly.

Cai Jian, who was watching the battle on the spot, was very pleased that he was a bit of a general.

"From Tao Jia's wonderful defense, his defense made Ajax return without success." Liu Jiayuan explained.

"Manchester United had too many defensive problems this time, and a single pass went through their defense," Xu Yang went on to explain.

"They need to pay attention to defense. If they continue to play like this, this game may be dangerous."

It was the regret of Manchester United fans before, but this time it is Ajax's turn.

And this time Ajax's offense is more threatening, after all, Traore received the pass.

If it weren't for Tao Jia, they would really be ahead.
