Seeing Sevilla's starting lineup, Tong Yi was a little emotional.
Because compared to last season, Sevilla's starting lineup this season can be said to be completely different.
Especially the defense, this is a complete change of the defense.
Rico, their starting goalkeeper today, is only 21 years old this year and will not turn 22 until September 1st. He is very young.
He came to Sevilla's youth training in 2009 and only entered Sevilla's second team in 2011. He was promoted to the first team last year and became Sevilla's main goalkeeper Beto's substitute last season.
This season Sevilla's main goalkeeper Beto was injured. He seized the opportunity and has secured his position as Sevilla's starting goalkeeper. Today he is still in the starting lineup.
It can be seen that Emery still trusts him.
Because Beto has been recovering from injury for a while, but Rico has been the starter during this period.
The left back of the defense Tremolinas was introduced from French Ligue 1 Saint-Etienne last summer, Kolodejchak was also introduced from French Ligue 1 Nice, and Carriso was bought out from Reading.
Dahl was also introduced from Almeria last summer.
You see, these four players are all re-introduced players. This is a completely new defensive line.
But his performance is still very good, which shows that Emery has something good.
Emery is great.
There is also Koli Showjak, who partners with Mbia in the back line of the midfield. He is also a Polish player that Emery brought from Reims, France, last summer, and he is very capable.
To be honest, Tong Yi still has some impression of this guy in his memory.
He performed really well in Sevilla and is a very good defensive midfielder.
Especially his long-range shots are eye-catching.
There is also Banega in the forward line, who was also a player introduced by the team last summer. He was introduced by Emery to replace Rakitic who left. To be honest, this guy's performance is still very good, reaching
Emery's request.
However, this Banega also became famous at a young age, and he was also very ridiculous when he was young.
His private life is very corrupt and he is a famous problem boy.
In 2008, when he was 20 years old, he transferred from Argentina to Valencia in La Liga for a sky-high price of 18 million euros. He was once a super genius and had high hopes. Who knew that on the second day after he joined Valencia,
A video website in Argentina exposed a degrading scene of him naked and rewarding himself, which aroused public opinion and caused an uproar.
What followed was overwhelming news about his past corrupt life, sex scandals, etc.
These things cast a shadow on his prospects in Valencia. He himself was also greatly affected. His condition was sluggish and he was silent for half the game in Valencia. He was loaned to Atletico Madrid for the first time in 2016, and did not perform well in Atletico Madrid. After returning to Valencia, he had a brief highlight performance, but then he struggled very much and never lived up to the expectations that everyone had for him.
The height of expectations.
This is a typical case of hurting Zhongyong.
Banega is the player whose own eccentric personality and chaotic private life ruined it.
Even in January last year, he couldn't stay in European football anymore and was rented directly back to Argentina's Newell's Old Boys. He played 18 games here and had a substandard performance with one goal and one assist.
Last summer, Emery brought the former Argentine genius to Sevilla.
It was Rakitic's departure that gave Banega a chance for a new life.
Otherwise, he is very likely to stay in Argentina, fade out of the public eye for a long time, waste his life and retire sadly.
Emery gave him a chance!
Tong Yi seems to have heard that before introducing Banega, Emery had private conversations with Banega three or four times and sent people to find out about his private life after returning to Argentina before finally deciding to introduce Banega.
of.
Because Emery understood that as he grew older, Banega gradually matured, changed his previous absurd and decadent living habits, and gradually began to make progress and struggle.
Perhaps it was because being sent to Argentina made him truly see the dark and hopeless life that Banega decided to change.
Although Banega's statistics so far this season are not particularly impressive, he has only scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists for Sevilla. However, Emery is very satisfied with Banega's performance.
Because Banega's role in the team cannot be fully reflected by these data, he plays a very critical and even irreplaceable role in sorting out the team's offense and defense, as well as changing the offensive and defensive rhythm.
Therefore, Banega has been Sevilla's main player this season.
And Tong Yi's memory is also very clear. It was after coming to Savilla that this guy Banega achieved the most brilliant performance and statistics of his career. Next season he will score 9 goals and 5 assists.
Achievements, then he will join Inter Milan for one season, scoring 6 goals and 6 assists, and then return to Sevilla to achieve the most glorious performance of his career here. He did not leave European football until 2020 to go to a West Asian team.
Digging for gold and living in retirement.
To be honest, Nega was saved only after coming to Seville.
Therefore, Tong Yi did not dare to underestimate this guy when he saw him.
Sevi
Banega is indispensable to Leah's ability to achieve such results this season.
This is the core of Sevilla's offense. Crystal Palace must focus on marking this game, otherwise, there will be problems.
The remaining four people are all old people from Sevilla. They were also in the team last season and are also key players.
Therefore, this Sevilla team has almost changed half of its team.
Tong Yi also asked Schwartz and the others to re-collect information about this Sevilla team. Schwartz had been tracking and investigating Sevilla for a long time. Therefore, Tong Yi had no idea about this Sevilla team.
I still know them very well, even though this team is so unfamiliar.
Therefore, Tong Yi is still very confident against Sevilla.
After all, Schwartz's efforts were not in vain.
Of course, when Emery looked at the Crystal Palace starting lineup in front of him, he felt that it was very familiar. Although Crystal Palace had some changes, it remained basically the same, and there was no longer Lukaku in the Crystal Palace lineup. Emery felt that in this game they
Sevilla wins for sure.
In Emery's view, Crystal Palace's strength has dropped a lot this season, and the Crystal Palace players have been in very poor form recently. Sevilla and the others are more confident.
No wonder Emery dared to say loudly before the game, "We in Sevilla will win this game!"
beep!
At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.
At the beginning of the game, Sevilla played very proactively. They knew that Crystal Palace's tactics were to press high, but they still launched an attack to put pressure on Crystal Palace's goal.
Sevilla performed very well. Despite Crystal Palace's high-position press, they were still able to organize an effective attack. This is why Banega sorted out the midfield. Of course, this is also why he has Mu by his side.
It has something to do with the fact that Biya and Koryshowyak took turns protecting him.
With these two bodyguards by his side, Banega can play more relaxedly. He can put more energy into organizing attacks and even passing threatening balls.
During this time, Banega was very active.
Even sometimes, when Korishovyak and Mbia are not around, he himself is able to get rid of success like a fish in water, and then organize the attack.
Seeing this, Tong Yi frowned.
Banega, whom he mentioned emphatically before the game, performed very well in this game. His players should focus on taking care of this guy.
Milinkovic seems to be a bit at odds with Banega.
Therefore, Banega was relatively active during this period. Until Tong Yi asked Kante and Milinkovic to change positions. Finally, Banega calmed down a bit.
Kante's restriction on Banega was quite successful.
However, even if he was restricted by Kanter, Banega was still able to organize the offense. He came to the midfielder line and used precise long passes to organize the offense. After continuous long diagonal passes, Seville
Asia's wide players all got good opportunities.
Reyes has also matured a lot. Under the fierce defense and actions of the Crystal Palace people, he no longer has the timidity he had when he was young. Instead, he still has high morale and performs very well.
Reyes is so mature.
Reyes is also a typical example of someone who injured Zhongyong. To be honest, he was also a super genius back then. Unfortunately, his mental quality was not strong enough. After coming to the Premier League, he faced a lot of fierce defenses that broke his weak mind. He is
It was scrapped by the Neville brothers.
This is really quite a pity.
However, although he no longer has the grace and agility of his youth, he is now much more mature and stable, and is no longer the boy he was then.
Facing the excellent right back Carvajal in front of him, after receiving Banega's diagonal long pass, he directly passed the ball with an unexpected pass and ran over Carvajal directly.
Carvajal immediately reached out to pull, but Reyes took the initiative to fight, made a reasonable collision and knocked Carvajal away, then quickly chased the football and cut inside into the Crystal Palace penalty area.
The defensive players of Crystal Palace were a little shocked because they did not expect that Reyes could blow out Carvajal so easily and then directly entered the penalty area of Crystal Palace. The defensive player Van Dijk immediately stepped forward to meet him. Van Dijk's
The defense is very smart, not reckless at all. Moreover, it is stuck in a very uncomfortable position for Reyes. The angle of shooting is very small, and goalkeeper Alisson is behind, so there is not much chance; pass the ball to the team's top scorer Ba
If it is stuck, Van Dijk's position is stuck at the critical moment, which makes you feel that although he is not standing on this passing line, he can easily control this line.
Therefore, this made Reyes very entangled and difficult to deal with.
As for Reyes' direct breakthrough with the ball, he is even less confident.
In the two matches last season, he had seen how powerful this Dutchman was. Moreover, this guy was very strong and had a huge body, making it difficult to break through head-on.
Reyes had no intention of challenging Van Dijk one-on-one.
Seeing Van Dijk getting closer and closer, Reyes became a little anxious. At this moment, he caught sight of Banega and Kolishowyak who were rushing forward. Banega used his body to resist behind him.
Kanter created an opportunity for Kolishowyak.
Reyes immediately swung his leg and pretended to swing his leg to volley, but in fact, he passed the football to the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.
