2016 UEFA Europa League Final. Conclusions

WeLoveUA sums up the results of the match, in which the “Seville” for the third time became the winner of the UEFA Europa League.

“Liverpool” has slackened in the second period

If the English team played in the second period of the match the same way as in the first, then their chances for winning would be close to a hundred percent. The first period “Sevilla” failed: from the dangerous moments of the Andalusians could be recalled only kick by Gameiro after a corner.

But the “Liverpool” had a lot of chances to score: there were a couple of Sturridge’s points, one of which he managed to realize. Although, I confess, it was necessary for English to distinguish at least once and “Seville’s” game allowed. However, this did not happen – and in the second period we saw a completely different football. A gap in the one goal the Spaniards managed to win already in the 46th minute.

“Sevilla” got a courage

It is strange why the “Liverpool” (especially with Klopp led) showed so tatty football in the second period. Of course, “Seville” was able to take a quickly advantage of it – the score 1: 1 on the scoreboard lighted up for a few seconds after the start of the second half.

Well, then, “Sevilla” got a courage and started to fret and fume. The command just destroyed every line in the redoubts of the opponent, for which he received an award in the form of two goals. Perhaps Emery‘s wards could tune so bright, not only because of the euphoria of their goals: they certainly know the specifics of the finals of the Europa League, and this could help them.

Konoplyanka did not appear on the field

As for Eugene Konoplyanka, he did not appear at the Swiss field. In so important game for The Andalusians, Emery has entrusted his place to Vitolo. And it says a lot – in really playoffs Spanish tutor do not use Konoplyanka.

And yes, we cannot say that Konoplyanka is entirely a major player (and all the more, leader of the “Seville”) at the end of the season. He was not a typical box-to-box running from edge to edge. Let’s hope that next year, the Ukrainian will be able to strengthen his positions in the team.
