In the semifinal everyone has to believe in themselves.
Europa League semi-finals could consist of matches of more famous clubs. Manchester United scheduled to play Juventus, and with a different batch, Arsenal would be battling Mourinho. Or, if the grid is slightly different, Xavi and Arteta have proven their strength. In the Conference League, the composition is not so stellar, but Lazio and Villarreal certainly expect to go to the semifinals. It didn’t work out, but Basel e AZ one step away from a dream. On the eve of the matches, we recall the trump cards of each of the semi-finalists of the evening, because everyone has already earned the cup to some extent.
Europa League
For the victory of Juventus
Di Maria, Rabiot, Danilo and Chiesa are the players for the Champions League semi-finals. It’s a shame for Juventus to complain about the squad inside THE. Sevilla also helped. The average farmer of the La Liga season did not make it to the semifinals Manchester United, and the “devils” knocked out Barcelona conveniently for the Italians. The Juventus and Allegri bosses should be well aware that the European Cup season could be their last for a couple of years. It is important to show your best. The team is unstable, they recently lost against Napoli and Inter. But definitely no weaker than Sevilla, Roma and Bayer.
For the victory of Sevilla
Legendary participant in the Europa League, winner of multiple cups Uefa. ride Manchester United it allowed the wards of Mendilibar to forget about the problems of the championship, move on to their favorite tournament. Sevilla have experienced players. Bunu, Navas, Akunya, Gudel, Rakitic and Ocampos are dangerous guys. It is unlikely that against Juventus they will be as easy as with Manchester United named after Maguire, but the Spanish have upset many of the favourites.
For the victory of Bayer
Xabi Alonso faced a destroyed team. Now Bayer is in sixth place in the Bundesliga. Not in the area Champions Leaguelike a year ago, but such a ticket can be won THE. Xabi is a promising coach. He has great players on the pitch. We await the duel between Frimpong and Spinazzola on the wing. In defense, Ta will secure Hradecki. Wirtz and Diaby will play up front, while Azmoun can come on successfully as a substitute. Bayer are a sharp, aggressive and lively team, Roma will not be easy.
For the victory of “Roma”
Troll Jose has the twelfth international tournament semifinal in his life, in the end he won five finals. The first to win three different European Cups in the 21st century. Roma gained experience in the LK. The opponent is normal. Bayer lost against Cologne the other day. Dybala, Pellegrini and Abraham: three arguments in favor of the Romans. The “wolves” are not satisfied, they have not won four games in a row, but they have met “Milan”, “Inter” and “Napoli”. Roma can reach their second consecutive final and Mourinho knows how to prepare for the crucial matches.
Conference League
For West Ham to win
Moyes batted Manchester United v Premier League. After three defeats in a row, the result is thrilling. Although in the League of Conference, the Hammers have long had a reenactment session of European Cup history. West Ham won the European Cup Winners’ Cup Uefa. But those successes are remembered only by older fans. Young people want to see during the difficult season in Premier League – did not reach the fortieth saving point in the standings, a ray of hope. Rice and Paqueta can leave, but as long as Soucek and company stay together, Antonio must push forward and not repeat Anderlecht’s mistake.
For victory AZ
The Belgians thought they had passed AZwhen they won 2:0. But in the second leg, the Dutch punished them, recovered and were better in the penalty shootout. The Alkmaar club are fourth in the league but Jansen’s team could take points from Ajax, as happened last week. TO AZ no composition PSV, but van Nistelrooy has failed to overcome Sevilla in the Europa League, but Greek striker Pavlidis has a chance to upset Areola. Underestimation by West Ham is possible, AZ – “dark horse” in the four.
For the victory of Fiorentina
The long-suffering club, which survived clinical death, is now one step away from the European Cup final. Like all the other eight presented, the “violets” played in the final. TO AZ it was the cup final Uefa in 1981 – lost to Ipswich Bobby Robson. Fiorentina lost to Real Madrid in the European Cup but then won the Cup Winners’ Cup by beating Rangers with Swede Hamrin on the pitch and Hungarian legend Hidegkuti on the sidelines. In 1990 Juventus did not allow Fiorentina to keep the Cup Uefabut the energy of the fans, the technical talent of Italiano and the presence on the field of Amrabat, Jovic and Bonaventura are encouraging. Fiorentina has the possibility of overtaking Basel, and there is a stone’s throw away from winning.
For the victory of Basel
Abascal and Chalov regret not staying in Switzerland. Both will say they are glad to be in Moscow, in RPL your expectations, but in the semi-finals of the European Cup against former team Kokorin it is more interesting to play than unsuccessfully chasing champion Zenit. Alexander could meet Fedor in the semifinals of the European Cup. But even without the Russians on the field in the semi-finals, the matches can be interesting. Basel talk about their experience in the European Cup. semi final THE They forgot ten years ago, but were often in the playoffs of various tournaments. Federer’s favorite club have a bad season in the league, they are fifth, but all attention is on LK. The Spaniards and Swiss in the team can play stubbornly. I’ve been in the tournament since last July, dreaming of finishing in the final.
Eight teams have approximately equal chances of getting into Prague and Budapest. There isn’t a staggering class gap in either pair. Sevilla need help to get Di Maria to scalp the Spaniards easily. And West Ham is dangerous to underestimate AZ. Each of the eight teams has new losses and old problems, but this one is all the more interesting. We have no idea who will be making the finals, let alone tournament winners. Of course, if Juventus and West Ham win the cups, no one will be surprised. But Allegri and Moyes have been in business for a long time. They know Mick Jagger is right: You don’t always get what you counted on.
