Chapter 547 League Cup Final 2

Newcastle United, which has just won the English Premier League, obviously does not have so much trouble. They are fighting in Romania in Eastern Europe. This is the semi-final of the UEFA Cup, and their opponent is the Bucharest Stars.

This club is the football club in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. It is the most successful and famous football club in Romania. It was founded on June 7, 1947. At the time of its establishment, its name was the Bucharest Army. Since 1961, the name of the team has been changed to Bucharest Star Football Club. The department has been used until now.

Although it is only an Eastern European team, no one in the world dares to underestimate the Bucharest Star, because this team defeated Barcelona to reach the European championship 20 years ago!

In that season, Bucharest Star Football Club was very lucky not to meet a too strong opponent. It passed all the way, and eliminated Anderlecht, the legendary Belgian star Sifo, 5-2 in the semi-finals. After 120 minutes of the final and the Barcelona battle led by Schuster at that time, it was still not In the end, in the cruel penalty shootout, the giant Barcelona was bravely saved by Bucharest star goalkeeper Ducadam in the cruel penalty shootout, and finally the Bucharest star reached the top of Europe.

Although it was 20 years ago, the current Bucharest star can't be underestimated. It is not too much for them to be the best club in Eastern Europe. Let's see if they can eliminate La Liga team Real Betis and reach the semi-finals League Cup, you will know the strength of this team.

Encountering Newcastle United, the first feeling of the players of Bucharest Star is not fear, but looking forward to playing against a strong European team!

Newcastle United is by no means a team like Real Betis. Newcastle United has just set a historical record to win the Premier League. The Premier League champion is naturally not comparable to the Romanian champion. The gap between the two teams is in front of us. Bucharest Star players all think this is a very exciting game. They look forward to playing against the strong team and looking forward to the ten in Newcastle United. No., the most valuable player in the world.

Before the game, many players were excited about the game. They had no scruples, because the first round was in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, in their territory!

But...

When the game started, the excitement of these young men was gradually extinguished by the facts.

The gap in strength can never be filled with motivation. In fact, the lineup produced by Soness is not all the main lineups. You can only know that Owen and Ameobi have not played, but under the leadership of Don Jack, the Bucharest Stars still have no power to fight back. They can only add Strengthen the defense and strengthen the defense. Especially for Don Jack, in the Newcastle United lineup, Don Jack is obviously the most eye-catching. Maybe he is not the most handsome star, but his temperament is the best. Don Jack always gives people a feeling of invincibility in the game, which may come from his value. The value of hundreds of millions of euros is really not what ordinary people can imagine. Of.

This gap made the Bucharest Stars players feel desperate. They finally know that it is not a happy thing to play against the stars... There may also be happy times, such as the star's poor state... Unfortunately, they met Don Jack, who was in excellent condition.

In the eleventh, forty-third and sixty-ninth minutes of the game, Don Jack himself hit the ball into the Bucharest Stars three times by himself.

During the

period, Enzobi and the starting central defender Taylor also scored a goal each.

At the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard showed "1:5". The Bucharest Stars, who were at home, only scored a poor goal, which was scored after Don Jack was replaced in the second half.

"This is really a bad memory."

After the game, the team's central defender Abu Rodin was interviewed and said, "We were looking forward to the game and hoped to play against the world's best Jack, but now I know that it's not a good thing."

"The feeling of powerlessness on the court is really crazy. Sometimes you want to try to do something, but in front of him, it's like a child. No matter how you do it, it's useless... Yes, I felt like this at that time. We lost the game by a big score, but I think this is the gap between the two teams. No, it's the strength gap between our players and the opposing stars.

Bucharest Star coach Sal also calmly found a gap between the two teams after the game, which shows that this gap makes their players abnormal, which further leads to the score gap. "But we will not give up. Even if it comes to Newcastle, we will also work hard until the end of the game." Sal said, "The game with a strong team can improve the players' vision and game experience. Such a big game is more meaningful than several league games."

For the Bucharest Stars, this game can be called a big game, but compared with Newcastle United, the game is just a warm-up activity. It is strange to lose with the Bucharest Stars. Just after winning the league championship, their goal is only to win the League Cup.

On May 6, the two teams played again at St. James Park. Newcastle United played more flexibly at home, and the team played better. However, this time the Bucharest Stars may have some experience. They are not aggressive. From the beginning of the game, they have solidly defended the backcourt and counterattacked. The formation is also maintained, so that Newcastle United have few opportunities. Fortunately, with the advantage of the first game, the players are not in a hurry to score goals.

In the end, the two teams were 1:0, and there was only Michael, who came on as a substitute in the second half. Owen scored a goal.

With a 6:1 advantage in two rounds, Newcastle United entered the League Cup final!

Newcastle United did not go to celebrate the victory. After the game, the players returned to the locker room and waited for the result of another game. The other two teams in the top four of the UEFA Cup are Schalke 04 and Sevilla. The two teams are in the same position in their respective leagues. The meeting of the strong teams in La Liga and the Bundesliga is a match match.

In the first round, the two teams in Germany drew 0-0 and returned to Seville. So far, they are still 0-0. Both teams are very cautious and conservative, and there are less than ten minutes left in the game. If the other side scores a goal during this period, it is almost equivalent to giving up the right to the opponent to enter the finals.

With the passage of time, the game entered the stoppage time in the trem of the fans.

The two teams are tied. According to the rules of the League Cup, they need to make up time first. The stoppage time is 30 minutes. If they draw again, they have to kick a penalty kick to determine the outcome.

All the fans watching the game are very nervous. As Newcastle United, their feelings are very contradictory. The strength of Schalke 04 and Seville is similar. If you choose one of the two, if it is Don Jack, he will definitely choose Schalke 04, because there is very There are many old friends and other teammates. For Newcastle United, which is not rich in European experience, the two teams are very strange.

Under everyone's attention, finally, in the 100th minute of the game, Sevilla's midfielder Puerta successfully grabbed the point in front of the goal. There was a headcone that pushed the ball straight to the right corner of the goal. Schalke 04 goalkeeper was still standing on the left side and could only watch the football fly into the net.

One to zero!

Sevilla is in the lead!

The significance of the lead in the 100th minute can be imagined. Almost all the fans cheered. Schalke 04, who was on the road, could only play as hard as he could, but after such a long time, the players' physical strength has reached the limit. In the face of Sevilla, which is fully defended, the attack of Schalke 04 is also obvious. They are very weak. After all, they are not an offensive team, but a conservative German club.

In the end, with the goal scored by Puerta in the 100th minute of overtime, Sevilla scored 1-0 at home, and the score of 1-0 in the two rounds advanced to the UEFA Cup final. In this way, the match of the UEFA Cup final came out, that is, Newcastle United vs. Sevilla.

After the game, Ramos affirmed the team's performance, while Schalke complained about his opponent's rest last weekend. Last weekend, Schalke forced Bremen away from home, while Sevilla and Barcelona were blessed by God and were able to rest. Sevilla coach Ramos said with a smile, "Before the game, we made a lot of preparations to win, and finally advanced to the finals is the result of hard work. We deserve this victory. When I thought we would put our fate on the 12-yard line, the team scored, which made me ecstatic. Obviously, Ramos is in a good mood to defeat Schalke 04. Ramos also looked forward to the final: "Any opponent is difficult to deal with. If I choose, I will still choose the English, because their spirit is commendable, and they are equally worthy of victory. Great opponents should be respected. Being able to say such a thing when he meets Newcastle United shows how good Ramos is.

As the losing party, Schalke 04 coach Slomka said: "The two rounds are 0-0. No team has scored, and neither side has put too much pressure on their opponents in the game, so a goal is often decisive. We seem to have copied the process of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, scoring only one goal in both games. Last weekend's match with Bremen made us exhausted, and they had a rest with Barcelona at home, which made people feel a little unfair. We had high expectations for the UEFA Cup this season. At this time, every cheering at the Piz Juan Stadium in Seville is a true portrayal of the ecstasy of Sevilla fans. 1-0, Sevilla defeated Schalke 04 in the UEFA Cup semi-finals. For the first time in the club's history, Sevilla entered the finals of European events, which was a breakthrough in history.

"Last night, we saw even Sevilla fans over the age of 60 jumping excitedly in the stands." Fernandez, a commentator of As, said, "We also see how the hearts of the fans are lit up, and how thousands of loyal Sevilla fans go home with a smile full of happiness after the game. On the field, we see a team that never gives up, even at the anxious end, there is no The French block brings blessings to the fans because of the reversal of the score." The Seville Daily praised Sevilla for "shaking through history and creating miracles", but after the game, coach Ramos did not feel proud at all: "It is really satisfying to enter the finals, which is exactly what we are looking forward to. The Sevilla Club has a long history, and everyone has made contributions. We should not have a special feeling. Now we are waiting for the final to see if we have the luck to reach the top of the championship.

Speaking of the game itself, Ramos analyzed: "The opponent's defense is very good. We have never had a chance, but in the end we won. Puerta saved the team, otherwise I'm afraid we will have to play a penalty." Ramos shook his head with a smile. Obviously, he didn't want to try the cruel penalty kick. In fact, at the end of the game, everyone wanted to score a goal to defeat the opponent. The cruelty of kicking the penalty kick would not want to be experienced by both sides. However, in the end, Sevilla won the victory, and Schalke 04 could only leave with regret.

Piz Juan Stadium is destined to belong to Sevilla fans.

However, after the results of the two teams come out, the media is concerned about the final. The UEFA Cup final: Newcastle United VS Sevilla, the two teams will win at the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 15 days!

Newcastle United, the English Premier League champion this season, is an offensive team supported by Don Jack, Owen, Shearer and other stars. It is the biggest favorite of the League Cup this season. In the final and even during the top 32, many media believe that Newcastle United is likely to become this year. The UEFA Cup champion is even more optimistic after the elimination of Rome.

Sevilla, a strong Spanish team.

After the re-emergence in the 1990s, especially in recent years, Seville's performance is getting better and better, but their situation is somewhat the same as that of Newcastle United. In the European war, Seville has hardly won any honors, and they are also a 'newcomer' in the UEFA Cup. In the history of Seville, This is the first time they have reached the quarter-finals and quarterfinals of European competitions, and a step closer to the finals!

They broke the historical records of several clubs in a row...

Newcastle United and Sevilla are similar in European history. The Sun jokingly called this season's League Cup final, which confirms an era: the era of new football matches in the finals... This is a joke, but it also shows that the two teams have made no achievements in the European game.

But now they have reached the finals, and this battle is destined to attract the attention of many people - Michael. Owen, Jack. Lee and Scott. Parker... Mareska, Saviola, Fabiano... Before the World Cup in Germany, the names of these national team players are destined to attract a lot of attention, and all countries should look at the strength of the upcoming opponents.

Especially the England team!

With Don Jack's joining England, there is no doubt that it has become a hit. Although the England team's results have always been bad for some historical reasons, the England team has still become the favorite to win the championship. Many football professionals are actually not optimistic about the England team. The main reason is that the England team's style of play will be restrained. Their performance in the international arena has always been bad, which is also the reason. However, a large number of fans are optimistic about the England team. The important reason is the joining of Jack Don this time!

Therefore, more fans pay attention to the League Cup finals!

This is Don Jack's last game before the World Cup in Germany. Some clubs that want to have the ability to buy Don Jack in the summer transfer, such as Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid and other teams also pay attention to the game. They need to look at Don Jack's current status to determine their transfer policy. .

Due to Jack Don, the ratings of the UEFA Cup final have greatly increased, and UEFA also made a lot of publicity for the game before the game. Just like last year's Champions Cup final, Jack Don's photo has become the best picture of the promotion competition. This time, Jack Tang's photo has also become the object of publicity, because there are very Many fans buy it.

This may be unfair... For Seville... But who made them not have too famous stars!? --- The only pillar of the team, central defender Ramos, was also sold by them.

As for Fabiano!? European fans don't buy it at all!

But anyway, the final match has come out. All Newcastle United players are looking forward to the club's last game. The team still has half a month before the game. In this half a month, they will play the last league game with Chelsea, but Soness has decided to only play the substitute lineup. After all, the league championship trophies have been displayed in the club's trophy showroom.

At other times, the club has to do normal training every day. In fact, some English players have gone to England to report that Erikson's England has started pre-war training, but Don Jack didn't go, because the club's game is not over yet. He wants to participate in the League Cup final before he can report. Tao.

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The Newcastle United team also came to the Netherlands two days before the game, and the Sevilla team also came the next day. The two teams did their own training on the stadium provided by the Netherlands to adapt to the environment here. More media were already ready, and the atmosphere before the game became hot.
