"This season of the Premier League has come to an end, and all suspense has ended... In the last round of the league, Widgston, who was originally ranked third, unexpectedly lost 2:4 at home to North London Wanderers, and lost the Champions League qualification at the last moment.
Tramed, who was originally ranked fifth, successfully moved ashore and ranked among the top four in the league with its 2:1 away victory over Woldhampton... It is worth mentioning that last season's league champion Leeds City, this year's league champion
The season was poor and they only finished ninth in the league and missed the European competition. However, they have not completely lost hope - if they can defeat Sevilla in the Europa League final on May 27
Navigator, if you win the championship, you can also participate in the Champions League next season..."
The news was summarizing the just-concluded Premier League, but Pierre Brunt didn't pay much attention. He only glanced up when his team's name was mentioned.
But the assistant coach next to him, Jorge Reno, couldn't help but complain: "Beat us and win the championship? Participate in the Champions League next season? What a beautiful idea they have!"
Sevilla Navigators' performance in La Liga this season is also unsatisfactory. There is only one round left in the league, and they have 56 points, ranking sixth.
If they want to finish fourth in the league and qualify for the Champions League, they must not only defeat Barcelona Saria away from home in the final round of the league, but also hope that fourth-place Valendia will lose to Real Madrid away from home.
Steele, while fifth-ranked Getafe 1326 also had to lose to Real Catajon at home. Only if these three conditions are met at the same time, Navigators can successfully go ashore and finish fourth in the league.
This is too difficult for Sevilla Navigator. It would be easier to win the Europa League and participate in the Champions League as the Europa League champion...
"Jorge, did you see anything after watching the last two Leeds City games?" Brent asked.
"There is one thing that concerns me..."
Renaud then laid out exactly what he had observed.
That's about Dominic Laski.
After the game between Leeds City and Sandwell, some English media were discussing the Leeds City team's creation of opportunities for Lasky.
They were puzzled during the game. After the game, they tried to find out the answer from the Leeds City players, but all of them were met with disappointment.
All the Leeds City players who appeared on camera were tight-lipped about the issue!
Either prevaricate it or just say nothing about it.
It was originally a very ordinary thing, but the reaction of the Leeds City players immediately made it extraordinary...
It's like telling reporters: "We have absolutely nothing to hide from you."
So the reporters went to ask the team's head coach Clark.
As a result, Clark said at the post-match press conference that he did not know what happened. He did not arrange a tactic for the team to assist Lasky. In other words, this was entirely the players' own initiative.
But it seems that Clark is not very disgusted with this kind of private actions by the players - he smiled at the press conference and said that this shows that Lasky has integrated well into the team, and he is happy about it.
This answer made the reporters even more confused.
"I always feel that there is a conspiracy in this..." Leno analyzed after finishing speaking. "Obviously Clark knew what was going on within the team, but he said he didn't know, which seemed to be covering up... and the players didn't either.
That said, it is possible that the coaching staff gave them a silence order and they were not allowed to publicize it to the outside world. So what matters need to be kept secret by the players? I think this may have something to do with the Europa League final between Leeds City and us..."
At this point, Renault glanced at Brent. If the other person thought his idea was too ridiculous, he would stop talking.
But Brent waved his hand: "Go on."
"It's like this... I found that the situation in the last league game didn't just happen once. In the last round of the league, Leeds City played Thorton away, and such a situation also happened, but it was not so exaggerated. That game
The Leeds City players also deliberately passed a lot of balls to Lasky, but Lasky didn't grasp it, so he didn't score... I think this should be a practice for our Europa League final tactics.
After all, everyone knows that Hu is Leeds City’s top scorer, and Clark knows that we must also know it, so we should make special defensive arrangements for this..."
Brent nodded, he was indeed considering targeted defensive tactics against Hulay. In his opinion, as long as Hulay could be frozen, Leeds City's so-called powerful offensive firepower threat could be directly reduced by half.
Since he knew this, how could Leeds City manager Tony Clark not think of this?
He will also try his best to avoid the situation where Hulay is frozen and Leeds City's offense becomes misfired.
"...and finding a 'backup' for Hu should be the only feasible approach in a short period of time." Renault continued to analyze, "Laskey's recent form is also very good. He has made rapid progress since joining Leeds City, so let
It was natural that he came to back up Hu. At the same time, I also noticed that Lasky’s last goal in the league was a through ball sent by Hu after coming out of the penalty area. You must know that Hu is not a player who likes to assist his teammates.
Such a through pass is unheard of for Hu. Another thing may also confirm my speculation-in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Laski scored twice. And he scored the winning goal
It was Hu who passed the ball... that was Hu's first assist in the Europa League."
After Renault finished his analysis, he looked at Brent quietly from the side.
Brent was lost in thought.
After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, he nodded and agreed with Renault's analysis: "Lasky has also scored twenty goals in various competitions this season and is the second-leading scorer in the Leeds City team. It is true that
He is a striker who cannot be ignored... In this way, when defending, Lasky should also be taken into consideration as a key target."
"Okay." Renault nodded and wrote down the matter.
"But don't let this stop us from paying too much attention to Hu. He is still our priority defensive target in the game." Brent added.
"Understand. No one can let him go."
"Well... after doing a good job of defense, all that's left is to wait for Leeds City to lose patience a little bit. Their tactics lack changes, and they lack other means besides offense. Such opponents really need to be better dealt with..."
Renault smiled.
In the semi-finals, he said that he would rather meet Leeds City in the Champions League final than London Bridge.
Leeds City helped Navigators solve the London Bridge problem, which actually helped Sevilla Navigators solve the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.
"Okay, let's put the Europa League aside for a while and think about playing the final round of the league. Saria is bent on qualifying for the Europa League with us, and we must not let them do so."
Lunt waved his hand.

"Honestly, I still feel magical to this day..."
Yong Jun shook his head and sighed to Zhang Qinghuan.
"What magic?" Zhang Qinghuan asked.
"A team that was still fighting for relegation in the first half of the season now has a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season... I seem to have seen this plot somewhere... That was what Leeds City was like last season. It was originally
The goal was to avoid relegation, but in the end, he managed to become the league champion. Oh, by the way, Shining Star! The same is true for Shining Star. He managed to survive relegation and become the league champion..."
Zhang Qinghuan laughed: "Hu Lai even said in the group that this is the glorious tradition of Flashing Star. I used to think he was telling lies seriously, but now I think it might be true!"
"Navigator Sevilla is not easy to deal with, even if it is your home stadium."
"Go all out and do your best to ensure Tianming's safety." Zhang Qinghuan's mentality was quite good.
"But if you beat Sevilla Navigators, it will be more dangerous for Jule."
"Why?"
"If Navigator loses to you, the only way left is to win the Europa League. This is not good news for Leeds City..."
"Uncle Yong, you are overthinking. Regardless of losing to us or not, the pressure on Hu Lai will not be less. Even if they qualify for the Champions League next season in advance, the Navigators will definitely win the Europa League.
After all, this is a competition called the 'Sevilla Navigator Cup'... Since they have reached the finals, if they don't win the championship in the end, wouldn't they be sorry for the nickname?"
Zhang Qinghuan's words woke up Yong Jun, who was concerned but confused. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded, realizing that Zhang Qinghuan was right.
"So...since no result on our side will affect the other side, why not give it a try? If we really qualify for the Europa League, that would be great..."
Yong Jun laughed: "If you can really participate in the Europa League, it will be of great benefit to your career!"
Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "I didn't think that far, Uncle Yong. I just simply...want to see the Europa League, just like Hu Lai."
